98: Chapter 98 The Fifth-Order Demon King Returns, Wants to Show Off? Sorry, the cheater has been updated!

The storm of internal competition within the Nanzhou Demon Suppression Division, stimulated by both Lin Feng's iron-fisted methods and the merit system, had intensified, reaching a shocking new height.

Nowadays in Nanzhou, demons, monsters, and ghosts all had to check the almanac before going out.

In the past, they feared running into Daoist priests or monks; now, they feared running into those Demon Suppression Division experts who had gone completely mad for KPI.

Being caught was not scary; what was scary was having to act out a scene of "Outwitting the Birthday Gift Convoy" before being caught, only to be tied up, packed, and sent to that Yama surnamed Lin to be served as a dish.

This was simply an unbearable weight in their demonic lives!

Consequently, within just one month, the entire territory of Nanzhou presented a bizarrely harmonious scene where "no one picked up lost items on the road, doors were left unlocked at night, demons had vanished, and the world was at peace."

As the initiator of all this, Lin Feng himself lay bored on the rocking chair in his courtyard.

Looking at his attribute panel, which had surged significantly again, the sense of boredom belonging to a powerhouse grew a bit stronger in his heart.

"Sigh..."

Lin Feng let out a long sigh; this was the 108th time he had sighed this month.

Just at this moment.

A sudden change occurred!

Rumble!

Above the Demon Suppression Division, the wind and clouds changed color without any warning!

The originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in thick Demonic Qi clouds, and a terrifying Demonic Qi, powerful enough to make every Divine Sea Realm Martial Artist feel terrified and tremble to their core, descended like a storm, instantly enveloping the entire yamen!

The tyranny and purity of that Demonic Qi were such that it caused the heavens and earth to lose their color, and all things to submit!

"Enemy attack! A Fifth-Rank Great Demon is attacking!"

The entire Demon Suppression Division instantly sounded the highest-level alarm!

Countless Demon Slayers rushed out of their residences, standing ready, their faces filled with shock and gravity.

However, when Lin Feng felt that familiar yet strange Demonic Qi, he was stunned for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his face.

In the center of the sky-filling Demonic Qi clouds, a streak of light descended like lightning, whipping up a massive gust of wind, and finally, with a boom, it slammed heavily into the center of Lin Feng's courtyard like a meteorite!

Dust and smoke filled the air, and gravel splashed!

A tall and... flashy figure slowly walked out of the dust.

It still had that sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked appearance, but its entire demonic Aura had undergone an earth-shattering change.

The tattered Daoist robe on its body had been replaced by a flashy black cloak embroidered with gold edges, dancing wildly in the wind.

A pair of small, mung bean-like eyes were now shining with brilliance, bright and spirited, with a hint of arrogance looking down on all living things at the corners of its eyes.

Most eye-catching were the five huge tails behind it, like steel whips, waving in the wind!

A Fifth-Rank Great Demon!

It was none other than Huang Fugui, who had returned from seclusion!

Feeling the shocked gazes cast by the surrounding Demon Slayers and hearing their irrepressible exclamations, the vanity belonging to a powerhouse in its heart was satisfied as never before.

It had returned!

It, Huang Fugui, was no longer that small demon who could only follow behind its Master picking up scraps!

It was now a Fifth-Rank Great Demon!

A peerless powerhouse capable of holding its own and expanding territory for its Master!

It wanted its Master to see its growth!

To see its current demeanor!

Huang Fugui took a deep breath, straightened its flashy cloak, and strode forward with an arrogant, swaggering gait.

With what it considered the coolest and most domineering posture, it slowly walked toward the man sitting on the rocking chair, who had not even glanced at it from the beginning to the end.

However, the moment it stepped within three feet of Lin Feng, a terrifying pressure, indescribable in words and seemingly capable of stepping on the heavens and earth, descended like an invisible primordial sacred mountain!

Thump!

The domineering and arrogant expression on Huang Fugui's face instantly froze.

Its swaggering gait, just taken, uncontrollably softened.

The entire demon threw itself onto the ground, prostrating in an extremely standard and pious posture before Lin Feng.

The yellow fur all over its body clung tightly to its skin, and it was shivering like a sieve.

It felt that what it was facing was not a human, but an ancient deity sitting high above the Nine Heavens, overlooking all living beings!

That pressure caused its fear of its natural enemy, originating from the deepest part of its Bloodline, to be infinitely magnified!

"Master... Master... Old Ancestor..."

Huang Fugui's voice was trembling, and it couldn't even lift its head.

The bit of self-confidence it had just built up as a Fifth-Rank Great Demon was crushed to pieces by this move of Lin Feng's.

"Hmm?"

Lin Feng then slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the Fifth-Rank Great Demon on the ground, who was shaking like it had Parkinson's, and said indifferently, "You're back? Looking at your Aura, I thought the Prince of Runan had come to attack."

"No... I dare not! This small one would never dare!"

Huang Fugui scrambled to Lin Feng's feet, hugged his boots, and began to cry and complain with snot and tears.

"Master, how... how have you... become so much stronger again?!"

Lin Feng smiled.

Huang Fugui: "..."

Gathered Crown Realm... Third Layer?!

Weren't you only at the Gathered Crown Realm First Layer last month?!

Is this f*cking Cultivation?

Even taking a rocket wouldn't be this fast, right?

What kind of cheater is this?

"Master! If you go out to buy ten catties of beef, nine point nine catties of it is awesome! You are the own grandfather of the Bull Demon King, your awesomeness breaks through the Nine Heavens! In front of you, this small one doesn't even count as a bacterium on a cow hair!"

Huang Fugui's flattery came readily, and its sycophantic attitude was simply peak.

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense."

Lin Feng was already immune to this behavior of its, "Since you're back, it's time to get to work. I need you to help me get a clearer understanding of the waters in the entire Nanzhou."

Once business was mentioned, Huang Fugui immediately perked up.

"Master, just watch and see!"

It puffed out its small chest and said triumphantly, "During this seclusion, not only has my strength greatly advanced, but I have also comprehended a brand new Divine Ability!"

As soon as the words fell, its small body shook violently, and it blew a breath of Demonic Qi onto the open ground.

Seeing that Demonic Qi land, it actually transformed into hundreds of identical, but smaller-sized, sneaky-looking Yellow Weasel Demons!

As soon as these little Yellow Weasel Demons appeared, they all stood up on their hind legs and bowed respectfully toward Lin Feng and Huang Fugui.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

The voices were shrill but uniform.

"This is my Divine Ability, Mouse Descendants!"

Huang Fugui stood with its hands on its hips, looking smug.

"Although these Clones lack strength, each one has inherited my skills in concealment and tracking! Using them as eyes and ears to investigate intelligence is simply the best in the world!"

"Master, what do you want to investigate? As long as you give the order, I can let these disciples and descendants infiltrate every corner of Nanzhou! Whether it's the latrines of nobles or the Immortal Cave of a Devil King in the deep mountains and old forests, I guarantee to investigate everything to the bottom for you!"

It paused, and with an extremely solemn tone, announced, "I have already thought it through! From today on, our intelligence organization is officially established! I have even thought of the name, it's called..."

"Yellow Springs Road!"

"Master, you are the Yama, and I am the most loyal ferryman under your command! Specifically responsible for sending those who don't have eyes to you, so you can slash them to your heart's content!"

After hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

Good fellow.

The Fugui has not only improved its strength.

Its level of flattery has also sublimated.

"Not bad, you have a future."
