198: Grandpa's coming to pry your demon core!

"Oh, right, quickly go check the guest rooms!"

Chen Fugui pulled out an Exorcism Talisman and shouted at the servants gathered around him.

This thick fog only appeared after that woman arrived; it was probably her doing.

But none of the servants dared to take the Exorcism Talisman, shrinking back and not daring to step forward.

"I've raised you all for nothing!" Chen Fugui was furious but helpless.

"Master, I'll go check." Xiao He stepped out from beside Chen Fugui and grabbed the Exorcism Talisman.

"Daoist Xie knows Young Master's whereabouts, we absolutely cannot let her get into trouble!"

"You can't go. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to my son?" Chen Fugui grabbed Xiao He's wrist, pressing her by his side, not allowing her to move.

Xiao He clenched her fist but ultimately obediently retreated.

"Master, I'll go." Just as Chen Fugui was about to give up, a short young man stepped forward.

This young man was Liu Qingyun, whom Chen Heng had rescued from Shigou Village.

"Master Chen has been kind to me. This news concerns Master Chen's safety; how can I let it go?"

Liu Qingyun had always wanted to repay Chen Heng's life-saving kindness, but he wanted to repay it more than he was capable.

"Good, then you go take a look!" Chen Fugui, of course, recognized this young man and immediately handed him the Exorcism Talisman.

"Remember, you only need to take one look; absolutely do not do anything else."

Chen Fugui was a bit worried and quickly instructed him.

"I know, Master." Liu Qingyun nodded, grabbed the glowing Exorcism Talisman, and walked out of the main hall.

He was now very familiar with the layout of the Chen Family Courtyard; he could find the guest rooms with his eyes closed.

When Liu Qingyun reached the guest rooms, he found the main door wide open and the inside already empty.

Whoosh!

A gentle breeze swept past, and Liu Qingyun immediately turned to look.

He saw a black figure dart out from Chen Heng's small courtyard and vanish into the thick fog in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no! There's a thief!"

Liu Qingyun was about to give chase when he remembered Chen Fugui's instructions.

After a period of internal struggle, he still obediently returned to the main hall.

"Master, there's no one in the guest room, and a black figure ran out of Master Chen's courtyard."

"Our house has probably been robbed!"

"As expected, I knew no good would come of it..." Chen Fugui sighed, shaking his head but not feeling surprised.

"Alright, just rest in the main hall until the fog disperses."

Waving his hand, Chen Fugui comforted Chen Tianer a few times and then went to the back to rest... The thick fog came and went quickly. Early the next morning, the thick fog that had enveloped Qiyang City dispersed completely.

This incident did not cause much harm to Qiyang City, apart from a few unlucky people who slept on the streets and caught colds from the chill.

Of course, there were some losses. Gou Longxun lost a purple clay teapot he had raised for thirty years.

And a golden nanmu tea table... Chen Fugui could be said to have not slept a wink all night, fearing that something else might go wrong.

The moment the fog dispersed, he personally ran into Chen Heng's small courtyard to check for losses.

Overall, it was fine. Apart from Chen Heng's bedroom desk being thoroughly searched, none of the other valuable items were missing.

"I remember there was a bell and a copper gong in here before."

Chen Fugui rubbed his chin, unable to understand why Xie Run would steal these two things.

They didn't look valuable; weren't they just two broken pieces? Why go to such great lengths?

"Never mind, it's good that everyone is safe."

Chen Fugui was quite open-minded; if he couldn't figure it out, he simply wouldn't think about it and would wait until Chen Heng returned.

In his heart, his son was invincible, and even if he was lost, he would eventually return.

"Cough, cough..."

Chen Fugui coughed twice and shook his head.

"Why do I feel so weak? Is it time to take some tonics?"

"Coincidentally, that little Immortal left me a prescription; I'll try it later..."

Chen Fugui didn't take the cough seriously and didn't notice that his face was a bit pale.

---

At this moment, the Eastern Demon Alliance also welcomed their first ray of morning light.

But for these few Fire Deer Demons, this was the last beautiful sight they would ever see.

They were currently being roasted over a fire by Chen Heng, sizzling with oil.

"I said we should try more types of demons. Don't mind the slightly strange names; the taste is actually very good~"

Chen Heng happily sprinkled fine salt on the venison, waiting for the delicious meal to be ready.

"I didn't say you couldn't eat it, I just said these Fire Deer Demons are fire-attributed, so eating them might cause internal heat."

Bai Jun swallowed, skinning the Rabbit Demon in his hand and cleaning its internal organs.

"Look, this Five-Flower Rabbit is metal-attributed. Metal overcomes fire, so if you eat the Five-Flower Rabbit before eating the Fire Deer Demon, you won't be afraid of getting internal heat."

"That makes sense!" Chen Heng strongly agreed with Bai Jun's words.

Although with his Physique, he wasn't afraid of something like internal heat at all.

The Snake Demon Lord, on the other hand, perfectly served as a cushion.

After a meat-filled breakfast, the two humans and one demon swaggered towards the city gates of Kui Dragon City.

"Big Brother Chen, do you have a plan?" Bai Jun rubbed his fists, a little impatient.

"How should we do this?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow, looking at the pure iron city gate, over twenty meters tall.

"Just do it! What kind of plan do we need?"

Chen Heng let go of the dog leash in his hand and rushed forward with a single stride.

Before the squad of Demon Soldiers at the entrance could react, a gust of wind swept them all away.

With a loud bang, the pure iron city gate was kicked flying by Chen Heng.

"Ji Boduan! Grandpa is here for you!"

That's right, Ji Boduan was one of the members on the Qian Fa list, a Snake Demon who had just been promoted to Demon King.

There wasn't just one Demon King in Kui Dragon City; there was also an Iron Armored Ox Demon King who specialized in strength, named Shan Danliang.

Moreover, this Demon King also possessed the Kui Niu Bloodline, and his brute strength was terrifying, making him famous throughout the Eastern Demon Alliance.

"?" Bai Jun, who was rubbing his fists, saw this scene and his brain froze a bit.

"Just do it" wasn't meant to be done like this, was it a bit too aggressive?

Chen Heng's shout had an excellent effect; the entire Kui Dragon City heard his words.

As a newly promoted Demon King, Ji Boduan was looking for an opportunity to display his strength, otherwise, he would always be suppressed by the veteran Demon King, Shan Danliang.

"How dare you! You dare to act wild on this old man's territory!"

"State your name, or this old man will not spare you!"

Although Ji Boduan had transformed into human form, he did not choose to fully anthropomorphize.

Instead, he retained most of his snake form, like a large snake with four limbs.

Simply put, he was just a standing gecko... "Your Grandpa's name is Chen Heng, and I'm here to take your Demon Core!"

Seeing the main target appear, Chen Heng didn't waste words, directly jumped up and charged towards Ji Boduan.
