95: Li Feng reappears

Earth Fiend Hall.

"Ghost Moon Cave will open soon. We must obtain the Peerless Grade Human Demon Bone there at any cost."

"Once we possess this Peerless Grade Human Demon Bone, the probability of the Lion King No. 7 experimental subject successfully evolving will increase to eighty percent. By then, we will be able to mass-produce Great Grandmaster Realm Human Demons."

An Elder of Earth Fiend Hall said with sharp eyes.

The Yunzhou Earth Fiend Hall has already fallen too far behind the Earth Fiend Halls of other provinces; we must accelerate our progress.

"The people from the Demon Suppression Division will not let us obtain that Human Demon Bone easily. They have already dispatched Chu Jiang to guard White Stone County. It will be somewhat difficult to snatch it from his hands."

Another Elder spoke up.

"Chu Jiang is currently at the height of his fame. His battle at the Sword King Sect shocked the world. Even an average Grandmaster Peak expert is likely no match for him."

"Chu Jiang is merely at the Grandmaster Middle Stage, relying solely on his Physical Body strength. If he dares to obstruct us from seizing the Human Demon Bone, we will kill him without hesitation," a scholarly man with his hands behind his back said indifferently.

"Furthermore, the Hall Master's Clone was destroyed by this person. I must kill him."

He did not take Chu Jiang seriously. During the last Human Demon experiment, he belonged to the most successful batch and possessed the abilities of a Golden Armor Demon.

His defense and strength were doubled.

Once he transforms into a demon, his combat power will soar even further.

"This trip to Ghost Moon requires us to join forces with the Demon Clan!"

"Do these guys really think we are stupid?"

"They want to use Earth Fiend Hall as a shield while they put in no effort themselves? That is absolutely impossible."

Those present nodded one after another.

"The Demon Clan will certainly dispatch a peerless great demon. We only want that Peerless Grade Human Demon Bone; we will not take a single thing of the other treasures in Ghost Moon Cave."

"Agreed!"

White Stone County.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard, a gentle breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Chu Jiang lay comfortably on an exquisite rattan chair, looking relaxed.

He held a copy of "Wild History of Yunzhou" and was reading it with great interest.

Beside him, Su Yaner smiled skillfully, holding a plate of fresh fruit in her hands. She said gently, "Young Master, this was just picked and has been chilled. The taste is excellent. Please try some!" As she spoke, she used a silver fork to spear a piece and gently brought it to Chu Jiang's lips.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Chu Jiang's eyes lit up. The taste of this chilled fruit was indeed different.

A smile appeared on Su Yaner's face. "As long as you like it, Young Master."

Behind him, Fu Yunxuan was focused on massaging Chu Jiang's shoulders and head. Her technique was skillful, with the pressure gradually increasing from light to deep.

Sometimes it was as gentle as a spring breeze, and other times it was steady and powerful, dispelling the deep fatigue in his muscles.

This made Chu Jiang feel an unprecedented level of comfort, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Fu Yunxuan, who taught you this massage technique? It is truly peerless."

"My mother taught me. She was proficient in all the major acupoints and the flow of Meridians in the human body. My amateur skills aren't even half as good as hers."

Speaking of this, Fu Yunxuan's eyes dimmed slightly. Her parents had been killed by an evil sect during that battle to cover her escape.

"You had a good mother. I don't even know where my parents are. I grew up in the slums, fighting until I was covered in blood with the beggars around me just to compete for a steamed bun."

"I had no one to rely on; I had to fight for everything myself."

As Chu Jiang spoke, the memories of the original body could only be traced back to the age of nine. Anything before that was a blur of Chaos, impossible to investigate.

The various memories were numerous and chaotic; every time he wanted to recall some past events, it was quite strenuous.

"Cultivate well. Refine the resources I gave you as soon as possible and strive to break through to the Grandmaster Realm early."

From the last trip to the Sword King Sect, more than half of the Spirit Medicine and Medicinal Pill supplies remained unconsumed.

All the Medicinal Pills for the Acquired Realm had been distributed to the people in the county government's Demon Hunting Division. Now, eighty percent of the Demon Hunting Division were at the seventh level of the Physical Body or higher.

As for Ma Han, Liu Guangwu, and the others, they had all broken through to the Innate Realm.

"Although your parents are gone, as my subordinate, this Commander is your support."

"In the future, if we find out which faction killed your parents, I will surely exterminate their entire clan!" Chu Jiang said in a deep voice.

The Moon Palace, where Fu Yunxuan belonged, was destroyed by an evil sect that cultivated the Blood-Sucking Great Method, but it was unknown exactly which faction it was.

Otherwise, given the Moon Palace's many years of contribution to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, they certainly would not have let the person behind the scenes go.

"Thank you, Commander..."

Ripples arose in Fu Yunxuan's heart, rising and falling.

At this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. The person arriving was none other than Wang Chao.

Chu Jiang frowned. Wasn't he supposed to be escorting Zhang Sanbao and the others back to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division to report for duty?

"Subordinate Wang Chao greets Commander Chu!" Wang Chao bowed and continued, "On our way back to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, we were attacked by Li Feng. Liu Kong and Hu Yijiang were killed."

"However, after killing the two of them, he left quickly and did not entangle with the Demon Suppression Guards."

Chu Jiang thought he had misheard. Li Feng, the former head of the Demon Hunting Division, hadn't he died at Black Tiger Mountain long ago? Where did this one pop up from?

"This Li Feng only had Innate cultivation; how could he kill people under the protection of a Vajra Realm expert?"

Zhang Sanbao and his group had Wang Chao, who was at the Vajra Peak and possessed half-step Grandmaster combat power, to escort them to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

For the trip to Ghost Moon Cave, those two still had value. Since they were killed now, it seemed those two still held great secrets in their minds.

The person behind the scenes did not want them to arrive at the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division alive.

"My subordinate is also puzzled. Zhang Sanbao told me that Li Feng's cultivation was only at the Innate Late Stage."

"But this time when he struck again, his strength was already that of a Grandmaster, and not lower than the Grandmaster Middle Stage. Every move he made was difficult to parry."

Wang Chao's expression was somewhat grave.

"Li Feng..."

Chu Jiang's expression became strange. In a small place like White Stone County, where there were barely a few Innate Realm experts, how could there be a Grandmaster-level expert?

The news that Liu Kong gave him about Li Feng being dead did not seem fake. Could it be that Li Feng faked his death and deceived everyone?

But what was his purpose in doing this? It was all a mystery.

If Li Feng was a Grandmaster-level powerhouse, then the matter of the Gathering Yang Skill being secretly altered could be explained. With his Grandmaster cultivation, secretly altering an Acquired martial art was as simple as could be.

The Demon Hunters of the county government were now all cultivating the Golden Sun Skill, which was of the same lineage as the Gathering Yang Skill, so there was no need to worry about becoming crippled when cultivating to the later stages.

He estimated that neither Liu Kong nor Hu Yijiang knew that Li Feng had Grandmaster Realm strength. Li Feng was on the same side as them on the surface, but secretly, he actually had another identity.

This was the key. The waters in this White Stone County were very deep; a Grandmaster Realm expert was hiding within it.

Ghost Moon Cave was also in White Stone County. Perhaps it hid some secrets unknown to others. Otherwise, why would these powerful people flock here?

He shook his head; the connections within this were too complex to be sorted out in a short time.

The secrets here would eventually be revealed one day. As long as his strength was strong enough, no matter what plans the other party had, he could break them with sheer force and suppress everything.

"Go to the Yunzhou Supervisory Office and pull out all of Li Feng's files. Don't leave out any details, from his birth to the moment he faked his death; not a single word can be missed!"

"Subordinate will go do it immediately!" Wang Chao replied respectfully, then turned and left the courtyard.

After Wang Chao left, Chu Jiang remained lying quietly on the rattan chair, his gaze fixed on the sky, his mouth continuously murmuring that name: "Li Feng..."
