When the demonic aura descended, he managed to protect Uncle Qi, who was sitting beside him. He couldnât save the others in time.
âI shouldâve thought of it,â Xu Jingming said softly. âI repeatedly killed the demons of Dongming Mountain, so itâs completely possible for Mountain Lord Dongming to seek revenge. I also guessed that Mountain Lord Dongming would come, but I didnât expect so many people to be implicated.â
âNobody is perfect,â Wu Qi said. âYoung Master, you never expected Mountain Lord Dongming to implicate the innocent.â
âNo.â Xu Jingming shook his head. âItâs me. I never thought about these ordinary people.â
He subconsciously believed that this was only the virtual world, and these ordinary people were planetary lifeforms that had their memories blocked. They would wake up in reality after death, so Xu Jingming subconsciously didnât care too much.
Coupled with the fact that he had everything under control since his descent, he killed demons one after another without affecting ordinary people.
âThe stronger the demon, the more terrifying the danger,â Xu Jingming said. âPeak Earth Demons have such destructive power. What about Heaven Demons? Once a Heaven Demon attacks, even I will find it difficult to resist.â
âIf I want to refine demons, I will attract more and more hostility from demons,â Xu Jingming said. âPerhaps I shouldnât have a fixed residence. A fixed residence⌠will only become a target.â
When Wu Qi heard this, he felt that his young master had been agitated by the deaths of a large number of people in a few kilometers. He immediately said, âYoung Master, you donât have to worry. How can demons not wreak havoc? I became an orphan because of demons. Later on, Miss saved me and allowed me to enter the Wu family. Young Master, you killed so many demons and reduced the trouble caused by so many demons. The suffering of the people in Chengâan Prefecture has decreased because of you.â
âFor example, you just killed Mountain Lord Dongming. Youâre the benefactor of countless commoners in Chengâan Prefecture,â Wu Qi continued. âIf it werenât for you, Mountain Lord Dongming wouldâve been a hundred times more dangerous if he started wreaking havoc. It wouldnât be impossible for him to wipe out the city.â
Xu Jingming glanced at Wu Qi and comforted him. âUncle Qi, donât worry about me.â
This time, Xu Jingming only realized that as he became stronger, the demons he provoked would only become stronger. It required him to be more cautious.
Huh? Xu Jingming looked up and saw Qi Chen and the tall black-robed woman, Qi Xiao, flying over together. Soon, they landed in the ruins.
âI worked hard to get my sister to rush over.â Qi Chen glanced at Wu Qi, and his words became a little slurred. âI was afraid that you would die at Mountain Lord Dongmingâs hands, so I got my sister to rush over to save you. Who wouldâve thought that you would finish off Mountain Lord Dongming alone?â
He knew that Qi Xiao didnât visit the Demon Vanquishing World often. Her coming online was a testament to her kind intentions.
âYouâre Redeyeâs junior brother, not an outsider.â Qi Xiao smiled. She had been spending the sweetest time with Redeye recently, so she naturally had a good impression of Xu Jingming, who helped them get together.
Moreover, she also knew that Redeye and this âWu Mingâ were peerless geniuses of the Primordial Research Institute. They would probably be Origin lifeforms in the future.
She naturally respected such a figure.
âBrother Qi Chen, Sister Qi Xiao,â Xu Jingming said. âAfter killing Mountain Lord Dongming, I plan on leaving Chengâan Prefecture and traveling the world.â
âYou are leaving Chengâan Prefecture?â Qi Chen was stunned.
âYeah.â Xu Jingming nodded. âWith Mountain Lord Dongmingâs death, none of the demons in Chengâan Prefecture are worthy of my attention. I naturally have to find stronger demons to hone my mind.â
Qi Xiao nodded. âYouâre advancing by leaps and bounds now, so you naturally have to press forward. I only met your senior brother when I was traveling the world back then.â
âOh right.â Xu Jingming suddenly said seriously, âBefore Mountain Lord Dongming died, he asked his master for help. I feel that he wasnât acting. Perhaps he really had a master hiding in the surroundings.â
Qi Chen nodded as well. âIâve been watching the entire battlefield from afar and heard his cries for help. He pleaded for help numerous times, so I doubt itâs fake.â
âYou have to be more careful if itâs true that thereâs someone hiding in the shadows,â Xu Jingming remarked. âBrother Qi Chen, youâve been living in Chengâan Prefecture.â
âEven if you leave Chengâan Prefecture, you have to be careful,â Qi Chen said. âMountain Lord Dongmingâs master might spy on you.â
âYeah.â Xu Jingming nodded.
When he came to Demon Vanquishing World, he sought to hone his mind.
âAlso, the five maids and servants in my residence are dead,â Xu Jingming said. âBrother Qi Chen, please help me comfort their families and take care of them.â
âItâs nothing.â Brother Qi Chen nodded.
Xu Jingming took out a piece of paper and naturally left his Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers on it before handing it to Qi Chen. âBrother Qi Chen, it probably wonât be easy to meet you in the future after this farewell. This is my contact number.â
Qi Chenâs eyes lit up as he received it happily.
This was his contact information in the virtual world.
âLetâs keep in touch in the future.â Xu Jingming smiled. Having stayed in the prefecture capital for more than half a year, Brother Qi Chen had taken good care of him in every aspect. He still remembered this favor.
This was his character. He naturally had to return the favor he received.
âLetâs keep in touch.â Qi Chen nodded.
Qi Xiao smiled as she watched this scene.
That heartless man had only gotten his junior brother to find her and give her his contact information after he suffered a mental blow. Look at how nicely his junior brother wrapped things up.
âIâm leaving.â Xu Jingming also noticed from afar that many Demon Vanquishers were rushing over. After all, many people had watched the battle from afar with secret techniques.
They only dared to rush over after seeing Mountain Lord Dongming die. They were a little slower than the Qi family siblings.
However, he didnât want to deal with these people anymore. After all, he might not return to Chengâan Prefecture in the future.
âUncle Qi, letâs go,â Xu Jingming said.
âAlright.â Wu Qi nodded.
To Wu Qi, he had been following his young master after his mistressâs death! He would follow his young master wherever he went.
The two of them walked with starlight surrounding them. Every step they took spanned hundreds of meters, and they quickly disappeared into the distance.
âBrother,â Qi Xiao said with a smile, âhow impressive. You made Wu Ming willing to give you his contact information in half a year.â
âIt was okay,â Qi Chen whispered. âSister, who is this Wu Ming in reality?â
âYouâll know in the future.â Qi Xiao also gazed at the Demon Vanquishers rushing over from afar. âIâll log off first.â
Buzz!
Qi Xiao burrowed into the ground and went offline.
She wouldnât come to the Demon Vanquishing World unless it was something important.
âŚ
Outside Chengâan Prefecture.
Xu Jingming and Wu Qi headed south.
âYoung Master, where are we going?â Wu Qi asked.
âItâs a huge world out there. Letâs travel around and broaden our horizons,â Xu Jingming replied. This world was cruel and dangerous, but he needed to use the obsessions of stronger demons to hone his mind so that he could become an Origin lifeform faster.
Demons were the resources for his growth.

White County.
The Chen familyâone of the top families in White Countyâhad long split into three branches. The old patriarch and some others who didnât want to wander around remained In White County. The other two branches had left White County.
With Demon Vanquisher Wu Mingâs shadow looming over them, the Chen family was destined to decline. By splitting up and leaving their hometown, they had a chance of rising again.
âMaster, the caravan outside is reporting a piece of news,â an old servant reported.
The Chen family patriarch had aged considerably, and he had lost all his vigor. He glanced at the old servant with drooping triangular eyes. âWhatâs the matter?â
âThe caravan said that more than a month ago, an enraged Mountain Lord Dongming charged straight for Mr. Wu Mingâs residence due to his excessive demon killing. An earth-shattering battle happened, and that battle affected a radius of several kilometers, causing countless casualties,â the old servant exclaimed in surprise.
âMountain Lord Dongming and Wu Ming?â The old patriarchâs triangular eyes lit up. âWhatâs the outcome? Is Wu Ming still alive?â
âIn the battle, Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming killed Mountain Lord Dongming!â the old servant answered.
The old patriarch was stunned.
âAll the demons in Chengâan Prefecture are afraid of Mr. Wu Ming. Heâs also recognized as the strongest Demon Vanquisher in Chengâan Prefecture,â the old servant said.
The old patriarch waved his hand, and the excited old servant could only stop and leave obediently.
âHe killed Mountain Lord Dongming?â The old patriarch murmured in a low voice, âThis brat is getting stronger and stronger. Why didnât he reveal it at all when he was in the clan? Heâs getting stronger and stronger now. I want to live on; I want to see how long you can remain mighty.â
The old patriarchâs lifeâs work was wasted with the familyâs decline. He hated Chen Qi with all his heart.
