Xu Jingming and Qi Chen suddenly looked up at the sky. A stream of light descended—it was a plainly dressed elder.
“You killed Dongming Mountain’s city envoy?” The plainly dressed elder looked at Xu Jingming and smiled. “Mr. Wu Ming, are you planning on refining this Earth Demon?”
“Of course.” Xu Jingming nodded.
He came to Demon Vanquishing World to temper his mind!
“Bold of you.” The plainly dressed elder smiled and nodded. “Those of us who have suffered from demon refinement are becoming more and more cautious. Without full preparation and determination, we won’t dare to refine an Earth Demon easily, but this results in us losing some of our pizzazz.”
People were pugnacious the moment they entered the Demon Vanquishing World; they killed and refined one demon after another! But as long as they failed once, their minds would be damaged, and Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms would become much more cautious.
“Human Demons have weak obsessions, but Earth Demons
 have much stronger obsessions,” the plainly dressed elder reminded. “You have to be fully prepared and refine it when your mind is in tip-top condition.”
“This is Lord Liu of Cheng’an Prefecture’s Demon Vanquishing Division,” Qi Chen introduced. “Many Demon Vanquishers of the Demon Vanquishing Division are under the command of Lord Liu.”
“Lord Liu.” Xu Jingming bowed.
Demon Vanquishers in Cheng’an Prefecture were mainly divided into four categories. First were the official Demon Vanquishers, second were the local families’ Demon Vanquishers, third were the sects’ Demon Vanquishers, and fourth were the unaffiliated Demon Vanquishers.
Xu Jingming was one of the unaffiliated Demon Vanquishers.
This Demon Vanquishing Division’s chief official, Lord Liu, commanded all the official Demon Vanquishers in Cheng’an Prefecture. He had vast authority. His personal strength wasn’t inferior to Qi Chen’s, and he was also a fifth-realm expert.
“Lord Liu is right. It’s fine if it’s that newborn Human Demon, but you have to be extremely careful when refining an Earth Demon,” Qi Chen also warned him. “After all, it can take years of recuperation if one’s mind is damaged; some might be affected for the rest of their lives.”
“I understand.” Xu Jingming nodded.
If a very serious flaw appeared in his mind, he might indeed be plagued by it for the rest of his life. But with the guidance of Primordial Star Conjecture’s Light Rays, he could resolve mental weaknesses relatively fast.
“Earth Demons share deep relationships,” Lord Liu said. “This city envoy, Earth Demon Zhang Xiu, is indeed on good terms with Demon God Green Lake. He also has other Earth Demons as friends. You have to be careful.”
Qi Chen frowned. “I’ve fought Demon God Green Lake, but I was helpless against him.”
“Oh?” Xu Jingming’s heart tightened.
The Earth Demon he couldn’t kill—Zhang Xiu—could be wiped out by Qi Chen with a flip of his hand. However, even Patriarch Qi Chen couldn’t deal with Demon God Green Lake?
“Mountain Lord Dongming almost never appears,” Lord Liu said. “The truly infamous ones in Cheng’an Prefecture are actually the five Demon Gods. Every one of the five Demon Gods has slaughtered countless people and has committed insidious crimes. They are infamous for their ferocity! We have also set up ambushes to kill them, but they still escaped.”
Qi Chen nodded. “The five Demon Gods are powerful, but the prefecture capital is ultimately where we Demon Vanquishers gather! Even if the five Demon Gods infiltrate, they will have to do so secretly. Once they are exposed, many Demon Vanquishers will rush over to surround them over time.”
“Therefore, all you need to do is buy time when you encounter danger,” Lord Liu remarked.
Lord Liu was willing to befriend Mr. Wu Ming, who had reached the fourth realm.
At this moment, everyone outside entered the residence.
“Sir.”
“Sir.” The two official Demon Vanquishers saluted Lord Liu.
Old Master Yufeng’s eyes were filled with tears as he bowed to Xu Jingming excitedly. “Thank you, Mr. Wu. That demon killed more than half of my Yufeng family. Our Yufeng family has a blood feud with her, and now that our revenge is exacted, we can only offer you some silver from what meager treasures we have. Please accept it, Mr. Wu.”
With that said, he took out a stack of banknotes.
Wu Qi glanced at Xu Jingming and immediately stepped forward to accept the stack of banknotes.
“The members of my Yufeng family who died can rest in peace.” Tears streamed down Old Master Yufeng’s face, and the other clansmen beside him shed tears of sorrow. Too many people in a family had died because of the demon.
With the demon vanquished, everyone quickly dispersed.
Old Master Yufeng looked at the residence and nodded slightly. I’ve gotten this mansion back.
Revenge was only one aspect of his enthusiasm; the other aspect was for this mansion! This mansion was located in the core area of the prefecture capital and occupied a large area—it was worth more than 100,000 taels!
As for the birth of demons? As long as no problems cropped up in the next few years, he could sell the mansion. This was because demons appeared every few days in the prefecture capital. There were too many places in history where demons had appeared, so it didn’t affect the land prices.


Xu Jingming and Qi Chen walked side by side.
“Brother Qi Chen, I need your help with something,” Xu Jingming said.
“With your senior brother’s relationship with my sister, there’s no need for us to be polite.” Qi Chen smiled and added, “I’ve already said that you can request anything of me.”
Xu Jingming smiled and handed 20,000 taels of banknotes to Qi Chen. “I want to buy 500 grams of Mystic Light Cold Iron and a sturdy spear! The spear needs to be three meters long, and the shaft just needs to be of normal thickness.”
“20,000 taels is too much,” Qi Chen remarked.
“Just prepare it as you deem fit,” Xu Jingming said.
“Is there a weight requirement for the spear?” Qi Chen asked. “There are many materials that are extremely heavy. Perhaps it might be too heavy for you.”
“Have it weigh about 5,000 kilograms,” Xu Jingming replied.
