The subtle thoughts of the few people were of no concern to Ding Hui.

Her gaze was firmly fixed on the Iron-eating Demon after its demonization.

The degree of demonization of Wu Hall Master has probably surpassed the critical point.

Even if we can save someone, whether we end up saving Lord Hall Master or a senseless Iron-eating Demon, it's hard to say.

This is also the almost inevitable end for all Demon Martial Artists.

Unless [Spirit] is provided continuously for them to kill, mitigating the symptoms of demonization.

But it is still a temporary solution, not a cure; one day, Diao Deyi will...

Suddenly clenching her fists, Ding Hui thought to herself.

"I won't let that happen. Diao Deyi! I will save you! Even if it means doing something extreme, even if you hate me for the rest of your life... I still hope you survive."

"In this world, there really aren't many people I care about..."

At this moment, what emerged in Ding Hui's mind were Yuan Hongxin's notes, and... Li Xunxue's artificially created Bloodline Spirit!

"I must proceed quietly without Diao Deyi's knowledge... Just as a precaution, just in case... Diao Ruru would surely understand."

Under the candlelight, half of Ding Hui's face was illuminated, the other half shrouded in shadow, exuding an indescribable wickedness.

It was unclear whether she had made up her mind for the sake of her own research, or for someone else.

...

It's a dark and windy night.

From afar, Fang Yu could see his family's courtyard, brightly lit.

A group of guards, with the courtyard as the center, patrolled back and forth, the security tight.

What's going on?!

Fang Yu's expression changed.

He had received a secret order from Dong Xingzhou in the morning to start the operation for Demon Foot's promotion, so he left in a hurry and didn't know what had happened at home.

With a sudden burst of speed, Fang Yu whooshed into the courtyard, even before the few guards at the entrance could react.

He went straight to his second sister's room, only to find the lights out.

He gently opened a crack and found that his second sister was already asleep.

"An intruder!"

"Not good! The little thief is back! Lord Mi!"

Voices in the courtyard began to shout but were glared at by Fang Yu, signaling them to be silent.

They then realized that the intruder in the courtyard was Diao Deyi.

"Mr. Diao!"

"Mr. Diao..."

The people hastily lowered their voices, and a new group of people surged in, led by Mi Hengpeng.

"Don't disturb my second sister's sleep, everyone else disperse, Mi Hengpeng, follow me."

"Yes!"

The crowd came quickly and dispersed just as fast.

Soon, the courtyard was quiet again, and Fang Yu took Mi Hengpeng to the hall.

After sitting down, he asked directly.

"Speak, what happened?"

"Reporting to Lord, after you left this morning, I discovered a little thief lurking around Diao Residence and immediately gave chase, but eventually he got away. When we started the search, we encountered Lord Han Mengyu, so I handed over the continued search to her while I returned to reinforce the guards at Diao Residence until now."

Fang Yu's brows gradually furrowed.

He has connections in both the underworld and the ordinary world, yet someone dared to target him.

To be honest, Fang Yu didn't care about himself being targeted, but if his second sister might be put in danger...

Fang Yu's gaze grew increasingly cold.

"Did you get a good look at the thief?"

"Only remember the figure was thin and short but didn't see the face clearly."

"Where was the last place he was seen?"

"Around the Immortal Street area, after that, Lord Han Mengyu took over, I don't know which direction she searched."

"...Got it."

As long as he has a rough area, even if he has to dig three feet into the ground, he'll find the person.

The Foolish Underworld still has some reservations; searching is greatly inconvenient, but on the demon's side, they can search for someone without any scruples.

"You did well, you can withdraw some people now. In a place like the Foolish Underworld, that kind of petty thief might sneak in once, but doesn't have the ability to do it a second time. If he really does come, I'll make sure he won't leave alive."

Diao Deyi was making threats, so naturally, Mi Hengpeng dared not say anything and withdrew promptly, taking a large group of team members with him.

What a joke, with Mr. Diao back, what need was there for them to make an appearance for security.

After Mi Hengpeng led his team away, a voice suddenly arose from ahead.

"Diao Deyi."

Fang Yu hurriedly went to support her: "Second sister, did the noise wake you?"

Diao Ruru shook her head slightly: "That person must have come targeting you. You must be careful when you go out on errands in the future."

"Don't worry, I will handle this."

Almost having his house robbed, Fang Yu had no intention of taking it slowly and planned to directly use thunderous measures to drag the culprits out and kill them.

But Diao Ruru did not know that Fang Yu had already decided on murder, so she asked anxiously, "Right, I heard there was a big incident outside today, several street blocks were overrun with demons, and many lords and Lord of a Thousand Households died... Were you out dealing with this today? Are you injured?"

Of course, he was injured, but it was concealed under his clothes and not obvious, plus Fang Yu had a strong recovery ability. The two kidneys that had been gouged out were already growing back, only a bit smaller in size for now.

"What could possibly happen to me? Those demons should be worried. It's already deep into the night, don't think too much, go rest."

The second sister had been woken up after all, feeling somewhat sleep deprived, and after eating the medicinal meal sent by Lord Ding Hui, she became even more sleepy.

Yawning, she said her goodbyes and went back to her room to rest.

Once the second sister had left, Fang Yu returned to his room and stood by the window, looking up at the bright moon in the high sky.

Today, the annihilation of the Thousand Households gives me an opportunity to rise, and it will also start to bring me into the sight of the Great Demons, so I need to be extremely careful.

Additionally, Wu Lvzhu's severe injury also means that my greatest support in the Foolish Underworld has fallen. My actions from now on will probably not be so convenient.

Fang Yu never expected that within one day, one thing after another would occur. How to proceed from here would need careful consideration before taking action.

Originally, the news of the Lin Family Patriarch's death to Wu Lvzhu was due to the fact that the human side is currently on the weaker side, and the demons are becoming increasingly aggressive, removing Lin Family and Li Family insiders, which gave me a sense of crisis.

But after all the plotting, it turned out to be a loss of a Hall Master from the Foolish Underworld, with almost no effect on the demons' side.

It seems that under the current situation, I need to gain some advantage for the human side, and the Lin Family would be a good start.

Several Hall Masters have already begun to suspect the Lin Family, and after thorough investigation, it should not be difficult to root out the demons.

As Fang Yu was thinking, suddenly a figure silently landed on his window sill in the night.

Who is it?

Fang Yu was startled, lately, the figures he encountered were becoming more and more mysterious, to the point where he couldn't even sense them.

But when he looked up, his pupils shrank, and his face showed ecstatic joy.

"Brother Qing..."

"Shh."

A finger was pressed to his lips.

Fang Yu immediately got the message and kept quiet, nervously looking around, lowering his voice.

"Brother Qing, are you insane! This is the Foolish Underworld!"

The person, of course, was the Green Demon, Li Shidao!

In response to Fang Yu's words, the Green Demon only smiled, his mouth curling upwards.

"Of course, I know this is the Foolish Underworld. I've been here before."

"Can you compare to that? Back then, the disguise you used... come inside, come inside!"

Fang Yu, nervous, pulled the Green Demon into the room and shut the door and windows.

He didn't dare to light a candle and whispered.

"It's too risky! If someone saw you... Wait a minute! Brother Qing, why do you look so pale?!"

The Green Demon appeared unconcerned and placed a hand on Fang Yu's abdomen.

Immediately, a warm flow emanated from the Green Demon's palm.

The recently regenerated kidneys rapidly expanded, returning to their normal size.

The other injuries also visibly healed at a rapid pace.

This healing ability was much faster than Fang Yu's own slow recovery rate.

"Brother Qing?!"

Fang Yu hastily tried to stop him; the Green Demon already looked so pale yet was expending his power to heal him. He feared that the Green Demon might collapse if he was not careful.

"No matter, compared to replenishing the Shu Bird and the Ice Immortal Demon's physical strength, your minor injuries are hardly a drain."

Fang Yu immediately realized that the Green Demon had come in the dead of night, daring to break into the Foolish Underworld, just to heal his injuries!
