192: They're getting tons of gold coins!

The night passed without a word, referring, of course, to the unlucky Bai Jun who was being battered by the wind outside.

After a night of passionate intimacy, Chen Heng felt a long-awaited sense of relaxation.

Placing the sleeping Hu Ling on the bed, Chen Heng put on his outer garment and walked out of the Flower House.

"Let's go, we're heading to Qianfa Tower."

Chen Heng patted Bai Jun, who was squatting on the ground counting ants, and said.

"Are you done?" Bai Jun looked up, his eyes filled with intense resentment.

"You can't play, and you can't blame me. I'll go with you later to find your Master to remove your chastity mark."

Even Chen Heng felt the resentment, which was almost solidifying, so he could only comfort Bai Jun with a few words.

"Alright..." Bai Jun sighed. He really couldn't blame anyone else for this.

It was his own fault for cultivating in a way that prevented him from losing his primordial yang.

"Big Brother Chen, will you teach me martial arts later?"

Bai Jun stood up, stretching his somewhat stiff body.

"I feel like your fists are much more effective than my lightning techniques."

"Sure, when I have time."

Chen Heng didn't refuse, but he also didn't know how to teach others...

Heavenly Demon City was still relatively quiet in the early morning. On the way to Qianfa Tower, Chen Heng and Bai Jun didn't encounter any more attacks from minor demons.

"Oh, right, Big Brother Chen, why are we going to Qianfa Tower?"

Midway, Bai Jun inexplicably asked a question.

"Didn't that big brain flower say he could provide us with information? We definitely need to ask him where the Demon Lords of the Eastern Demon Alliance live."

"Otherwise, are the two of us just going to search every single place? How troublesome would that be?"

"Oh, that's true." Bai Jun nodded.

"No, Big Brother Chen, are you really planning to wipe out all the Noble and powerful clans of the Great Liang Kingdom?"

"Otherwise, what's the point of keeping those beasts?" Chen Heng turned to look at Bai Jun.

"You probably don't know what those Noble and powerful clans have done."

"If you knew, you would understand why I want to destroy them all."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Heng's eyes.

Although he understood that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

He simply couldn't stand the actions of those Noble and powerful clans.

The strong should draw their swords against the stronger, not oppress the weak.

Moreover, those beasts didn't even consider themselves members of the Human Race. Chen Heng would have no psychological burden crushing them.

Besides, the Noble and powerful clans were much more efficient at dropping gold than Anomalies. If not them, then who?

Seeing that Bai Jun still couldn't understand, Chen Heng sighed and briefly told him what the Noble and powerful clans had done.

"Let's put it this way, they use Mortals as fodder to raise Anomalies."

"Then those Noble and powerful clans grow stronger through the Anomalies they raise themselves."

"..." Bai Jun was somewhat silent. This was indeed the first time he had learned about this.

"You won't understand from a simple description. When I have the chance, I'll take you to see their actions firsthand."

Chen Heng didn't expect Bai Jun to fully understand. Such things are unimaginable without seeing them with one's own eyes.

Qianfa Tower was not too far from Flower Street. It took the two of them less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn to arrive at the entrance.

Before Chen Heng could walk in, a rift appeared beneath their feet.

The two slid down the rift and arrived before Qian Fa.

"This is quite convenient for you." Chen Heng glanced at the rift above, which had already closed, and looked at the large, blue brain flower in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?" Qian Fa didn't banter but asked directly.

"Oh, right, Mr. Chen, I'm fully aware of your grand feat yesterday. It seems your ambitions are not small."

"You're actually coveting this Heavenly Demon City. Do you need my help?"

"Who said I was coveting Heavenly Demon City?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow and found a relatively flat stone to sit on.

"Then why did you beat that Snake Demon Lord into such a state? If the Snake Demon's vital point wasn't on her head, she would probably be completely dead by now."

Qian Fa's voice became somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why Chen Heng would do these things.

"I don't even care for a small Heavenly Demon City. What I want is the Eastern Demon Alliance."

Chen Heng didn't care if others knew his thoughts.

So what if someone tried to stop him? If you have the ability, come and try.

"This Eastern Demon Alliance keeps harassing Great Liang for no reason. Not giving them a slight punishment wouldn't do justice to what they've done."

"Besides, can't I experience what it's like to be a Demon Emperor?"

After Chen Heng said these words, he clearly felt the large brain flower in front of him twitch.

"Mr. Chen, are you serious?"

"You've been in Heavenly Demon City for about two days now. You should already be aware of the existence of 'black qi,' right?"

"You knew about the black qi a long time ago?" Chen Heng stood up and walked to the large brain flower, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Since you knew a long time ago, why didn't you tell us sooner?"

"It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but this thing is truly too incredible. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it."

Qian Fa understood why Chen Heng would be annoyed.

"Moreover, a strong person like you wouldn't be corrupted by the black qi, so I didn't tell you immediately."

"After all, I need to show my value so that you will feel that cooperating with me is not a loss."

"So what exactly is this black qi?" Chen Heng didn't actually intend to kill the big brain flower. Wouldn't that be a waste of a living database that had existed for nearly two thousand years?

"This black qi actually has a source." To demonstrate his value, Qian Fa told Chen Heng the full story of the black qi.

"The source is the Demon Emperor..."

Before Qian Fa could finish, Chen Heng clapped his hands forcefully.

"Well, that settles it! If I kill the Demon Emperor, I can also save the common people and my Karma will skyrocket."

"No, no, please let me finish." Qian Fa, fearing that Chen Heng would turn around and kill the Demon Emperor, quickly continued.

"The source of that black qi is actually a malevolent Dragon suppressed beneath the Demon Emperor's throne. Without the Demon Emperor's suppression, the entire Eastern Demon Alliance would have long since turned into Hell."

"But over the years, the Demon Emperor has grown increasingly weak, and the successor is not yet mature, so the suppression of the malevolent Dragon has loosened."

"This has led to the widespread leakage of black qi, and all creatures corrupted by the black qi become insane and brutal."

"If you were to kill the Demon Emperor now and release the malevolent Dragon, then the entire Eastern Demon Alliance..."

"No, not just the Eastern Demon Alliance, but even the surrounding Western Demon Alliance, Jade Fan Kingdom, and even Great Liang would be corrupted by the black qi."

"So, please think thrice before acting!"

Qian Fa completely abandoned his previous calm demeanor, speaking at an extremely fast pace to reveal the source of the black qi.

He also tried to dissuade Chen Heng from his idea of killing the Demon Emperor.

"Is that malevolent Dragon even more powerful than a divine corpse?" Chen Heng rubbed his chin and looked at Qian Fa.

"It's different. Even if a divine corpse is controlled by someone, it's still just a corpse."

Seeing Chen Heng calm down, Qian Fa also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The malevolent Dragon, however, is a Demon God with its own consciousness!"

"A Demon God!" Chen Heng's eyes lit up, and his interest in the malevolent Dragon immediately piqued.
