Chapter 307: Chapter 145: Divine Dragon True Origin, Demon and Demon Power

From the official robes they wore, their identities were clear. One was the Yunling County Magistrate, and the other was the County Magistrate of Yunling.

Fang Xing appeared without a sound. The two men only noticed him after he had stepped into the main hall.

"Who are you? Who let you in?" The County Magistrate’s brow furrowed, a flicker of anger in his eyes.

SLAP—!

No answer came. There was only a slap as swift as lightning.

PFFT...

The County Magistrate was sent flying, spitting a mouthful of blood and teeth that splattered on the ground.

Fang Xing swaggered over and sat down in the magistrate’s chair.

Watching the County Magistrate get slapped across the room, the County Magistrate of Yunling, who stood to the side, panicked at the sudden violence and yelled out.

"Guards! Quick, guards!"

"You... you’re thcrewed! I’m gonna make you die!"

The County Magistrate struggled to his feet, his face filled with towering rage. His teeth had been knocked out, making his speech airy and slurred.

"Quick, someone get in here!" the County Magistrate of Yunling yelled again.

"Noisy!"

The cold voice rang out. Fang Xing looked at the County Magistrate of Yunling, a glint of golden light flaring in his pupils.

THUD!

The next moment, the County Magistrate of Yunling fell stiffly to the ground, all life gone from him.

!!!

Seeing the County Magistrate of Yunling fall, the County Magistrate felt a chill creep up his spine. All his arrogant bluster vanished in an instant.

He dropped to his knees with a thud and began kowtowing frantically. "Have merthy, thir! I have money, you can take all my money!"

As he spoke, the County Magistrate pulled out a Storage Pouch.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Xing made the Storage Pouch fly into his palm. He glanced at it, his expression showing no change whatsoever.

In that same instant, the County Magistrate shot to his feet and bolted for the hall’s entrance.

WHAM—!

But the moment he reached the entrance, he slammed into what felt like an invisible wall and was sent flying backward.

A large lump instantly swelled up on his forehead.

"What’s going on!"

The County Magistrate’s face was white as a sheet.

"Were you trying to call someone?" a quiet voice drifted into the County Magistrate’s ear.

The County Magistrate froze.

Gazing at the young man on the chair, his eyes filled with nothing but terror.

This terrifying power was far beyond his comprehension.

"Who... who are you?"

The County Magistrate asked, forcing down his terror.

HUMMM—!

Fang Xing wasted no time on pleasantries. An eerie light flickered in his pupils.

He activated Divine Illusion.

In an instant, the County Magistrate’s mind went blank, his expression turning dull and vacant.

Forget someone with a Neutralizing Force Cultivation; even a True Qi Realm Martial Artist would be unable to resist his Primordial Spirit.

"Tell me, how many factions of Demons and Monsters are there in Yunling?" Fang Xing began his questioning.

"There are two in total. One is the Cloud Mountain Demon King, and the other is the North Mountain Demon King."

the County Magistrate answered numbly.

’Two factions led by Demon Kings!’

’That’s a huge discrepancy.’

Fang Xing was inwardly startled by the County Magistrate’s answer.

The information Hong Miaojin had given him mentioned only one Demon King.

The Cloud Mountain Demon King.

There was no mention of this other one, the North Mountain Demon King.

’It’s a good thing I didn’t just charge in recklessly. Facing two Demon Kings at once—one of whom is a complete unknown in terms of strength—would have been extremely dangerous.’

"What is the North Mountain Demon King’s level of strength?"

Fang Xing asked.

"I don’t know."

the County Magistrate replied blankly.

Fang Xing frowned.

"What kind of demon or monster is the North Mountain Demon King?" Fang Xing asked, changing his approach.

"A Mountain Lord Fierce Tiger."

the County Magistrate answered.

’A Tiger Demon...’

Fang Xing nodded. He looked at the County Magistrate and continued his questioning.

"Besides these two factions of Demons and Monsters, are there any other powers entrenched here?"

"There’s also the Netherworld Sect."

the County Magistrate answered.

’Netherworld Sect?’

Hearing the name of this Evil Cult, Fang Xing quickly searched his memory but found no information on the Netherworld Sect.

This was a new Evil Cult faction he had come across.

’Netherworld... Netherworld... Could it be related to the Jiuyou Demon Sect?’

A thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind. He looked at the County Magistrate and continued, "Do you know the origins of the Netherworld Sect?"

"It’s an Evil Cult from Great Wei. I don’t know the specifics," the County Magistrate answered.

’An Evil Cult from Great Wei...’

’Then it’s highly likely the Jiuyou Demon Sect is behind them.’

Hearing this answer, Fang Xing was more or less certain.

An Evil Cult from Great Wei was almost certainly connected to the Jiuyou Demon Sect, the foremost Demon Sect in all of Great Wei.

"Where is this sect located?" Fang Xing pressed on.

"In Lingfeng Temple in the North Village of Yunling County."

the County Magistrate answered.

’Lingfeng Temple in Yunling’s North Village.’

Fang Xing nodded.

He then asked for more details, but the County Magistrate knew little about the specifics of the Netherworld Sect.

Next, he inquired about the Demon Kings.

He was, however, pleasantly surprised by what he learned.

Tomorrow was the North Mountain Demon King’s five-hundredth birthday.

Factions from all over would be in attendance to offer their congratulations.

Fang Xing was quite pleased to receive this news.

’Gathered in one place... Perhaps I can wipe them all out at once.’

’But first, I need to find out the North Mountain Demon King’s true strength.’

’Plan, then act. He didn’t like to make a move without being certain of the outcome.’

’Either strike to kill, or don’t strike at all.’

’He had a protective talisman on him, but the Holy Decree was his ultimate lifeline.’

’He didn’t want to waste it lightly.’

’If the North Mountain Demon King proved too powerful, he would have to give up for now and focus on dealing with the Cloud Mountain Demon King instead.’

...

Having gotten answers to all his questions, Fang Xing now had a firm grasp of the situation in Yunling.

At the same time, he was also taken aback.

To think that a small place like Yunling was home to so many Demons and Monsters.

It wasn’t just one or two, but a whole horde of them.

The two Demon Kings also had Great Demons serving under them.

To be able to rival the Cloud Mountain Demon King and hold separate territories meant that the North Mountain Demon King was at least as strong, if not stronger.

Looking at the County Magistrate’s vacant, numb face, Fang Xing’s Primordial Spirit stirred. An eerie light flowed from his pupils and into the magistrate’s body.

The next moment, he vanished from the hall.

A while after Fang Xing had vanished, the County Magistrate groggily came to his senses.

HISS!

"Why does my face hurt so much?"

"My teeth? Where are my teeth?"

"Old Lin! Why is he dead?!"

The pain, his missing teeth, and the unmoving body of the County Magistrate of Yunling at his side—the County Magistrate was utterly baffled.

’Can someone please tell me what just happened?’
