197: Demonic Cultivator

After lunch, the family sat around chatting happily.

Brother Fang suddenly said with a serious expression, "Junior Brother, do you know about the recent murder of young women in Twentieth City?"

"There's such a thing? Is the Law Enforcement Bureau doing nothing?" Fang Yuan's brows furrowed.

"Alas, the Law Enforcement Bureau wants to solve the case, but it's willing but powerless. For this, the Law Enforcement Bureau has already replaced three officials."

"Now the people of Twentieth City are in a state of panic, and they all hope you can come back to assist in solving the case. With your past courage, plus the Opportunity you gained in Lingshan, you can surely uncover the truth, right?"

Father Fang nodded and said, "Yuaner, if you have the ability, you must eliminate harm for the people."

"Those are living lives; they cannot die without knowing why."

Mother Fang quickly said, "You can investigate the case, but you must act carefully and not get yourself into trouble."

The Fang Family were all famously warm-hearted.

If not for that, they wouldn't have raised a child with Fang Yuan's upright character.

Fang Yuan solemnly promised, "Your son will not disappoint everyone and will bring the murderer to justice!"

...

Inside the Law Enforcement Bureau's morgue, several bodies of young women were neatly arranged.

After careful examination, Fang Yuan was immediately enraged!

"These budding young women were actually disemboweled alive to extract their uteruses and forcibly seize their original Yin."

"Young Master Fang, have you noticed anything?" Several forensic doctors respectfully asked.

Knowing that Fang Yuan had joined Lingshan, everyone naturally dared not neglect him.

"This is the work of a Demonic Cultivator!"

Fang Yuan was furious: "This is a Demonic Path cultivation technique, specifically for cultivating evil arts by taking the original Yin of virgins."

"There's such a thing?"

The Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau questioned, "Although my cultivation is not high enough, I can tell this is just a cruel murder. How can you conclude it's a Demonic Cultivator?"

"And what does this Demonic Cultivator mean? We've never heard of such a thing as a Demonic Cultivator."

"You can't tell because you haven't been to Lingshan, you know too little about this world, and you don't recognize these Demonic Path methods!"

Fang Yuan's tone was stern as he explained, "According to what I learned on Lingshan, Demonic Cultivators are also a type of Martial Dao Cultivation, except they don't absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but rather Yin Qi."

"Besides that, most of the Demonic Cultivators' cultivation methods involve harming living people and absorbing the blood Qi or other Qi from their bodies to Cultivate."

"I originally thought this kind of Demonic Cultivator only existed in Upper City, but I didn't expect them to be in Twentieth City as well!"

The Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau was secretly indignant.

Isn't it just knowing more things?

If you can't catch the murderer, isn't it all nonsense?

He was annoyed by Fang Yuan's arrogance in his heart, but for the sake of solving the case, he could only choose to swallow his anger.

His predecessors were all dismissed for ineffective handling of cases.

He had risen three ranks from a small constable to the position of Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Regardless of whether Fang Yuan could truly solve the case,

at least by following this lucky general, he would always gain something.

Thinking of this, he smiled obsequiously, "So that's how it is. I thought it was the work of a perverted lecher, and then I suspected a Dimensional Being was causing trouble."

He looked at the bodies of these young women, his eyes filled with unbearable sadness.

Too tragic!

At such a beautiful age, they met such a cruel end.

The murderer specifically targeted beautiful young women, no wonder they initially suspected a lecher or pervert.

These poor girls withered before they could even bloom.

The Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau sighed.

"Those utterly heartless Demonic Cultivators deserve to die ten thousand times over!"

Fang Yuan was enraged, and a hot current suddenly surged from his Dantian.

This hot current rapidly spread through his limbs and bones.

His skin gradually turned reddish, and his eyes were stained with blood.

A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of Devilish Qi actually appeared in the air, one end connected to the bodies, and the other extending towards outside the city.

At the same time, the Spiritual Power within Fang Yuan's body also began to mutate, changing from pure white to crimson!

Fang Yuan's eyes widened in shock.

This... could it be the Awakening of a Dao Body?

That day, when he listened to Liu Jiangyi's sermon, he heard that on Hongyuan Planet, certain Prodigies would awaken special Physiques under specific conditions.

This kind of Dao Body could not only change the attribute of Spiritual Power but also greatly increase the speed of Cultivation.

For those with a Dao Body, being invincible among their peers was common!

To comprehend the Dao through the demonic, one can glimpse the traces of demons. This Dao shall be called the 'Demon Slaying Dao Body'!

Fang Yuan suppressed the wild joy in his heart and rushed out of the Law Enforcement Bureau in a single stride.

"I've found the murderer's tracks. I'll go ahead, and you all follow behind."

Before his words finished, Fang Yuan had already stepped into the air and departed.

Seeing this, the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau who had rushed out nearly dropped their jaws in shock.

"My heavens! Is this the method of those who join Lingshan? To be able to cross the void!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you think that Fang Yuan can really find the murderer with just this much clue?"

"I don't think so. He only confirmed that it was the work of what he called a Demonic Cultivator, but he didn't investigate anyone else. How can he find the murderer? Could it be that he can even divine?"

"Perhaps. This kid was quite eccentric before, and now that he's entered Lingshan, it's not impossible that he might actually solve the case!"

"Tsk tsk, he used to clamor about going to Lingshan to expose fakes, but he ended up becoming one of Lingshan's people. How true!"

...

While everyone was discussing, Fang Yuan had already pursued to the dense forest outside the city.

He strode quickly, finally stopping in front of an eerie wooden house.

The dark wooden house was wreathed in Devilish Qi, emanating a bone-chilling cold.

Fang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and coldly shouted, "Get out! A bunch of rats who dare to do but not admit, what's the point of hiding?"

After his words, the house remained silent.

Fang Yuan's gaze sharpened, "Seeking death!"

As he spoke, the three-foot green sword in his hand, wrapped in crimson Spiritual Power, crashed down!

Boom!

The Sword Qi struck like thunder, and the entire wooden house was instantly split in half.

At the moment the Sword Qi reached them, a dozen bloody figures shot up from the ruins.

"Where did this ant come from, daring to disturb the Demon Venerable's pure Cultivation?!"

The leading Demonic Cultivator's body surged with blood Qi, and his sinister gaze locked onto Fang Yuan.

Behind him, more than ten Demonic Cultivators exuded Killing Intent, their Devilish Qi soaring to the sky!

At this moment, the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau finally arrived.

When they saw the lineup before them, they were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they dared not advance another step.

Great Grandmaster!

Those Demonic Cultivators were all of the Great Grandmaster Realm!

"Young Master Fang, quickly retreat!" The Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau shouted hoarsely.

Fang Yuan, however, paid no heed, pointing his sword directly at the group of demons: "Will you surrender and confess, or shall I send you on your way?"

"Hahahaha..." The Demonic Cultivators burst into a round of ear-piercing laughter, "Just you?"

"Great Grandmaster cultivation? It's not weak, but unfortunately, it's still not enough!"

"Brothers, tonight we'll have an extra meal. We'll stew this tender-skinned boy and eat him!"

...

The Demonic Cultivators' taunts echoed through the forest.

Indeed, Fang Yuan had taken all the Medicinal Pills given by Liu Jiangyi home, so his cultivation was slow, and he was only at the Great Grandmaster Realm now.

And on the other side, there was not only a Demonic Cultivator at Great Grandmaster Perfection but also more than ten Great Grandmaster Realm cultivators assisting.

What was even more terrifying was that Demonic Cultivators were inherently three-tenths stronger than Martial Artists of the same Realm.

In anyone's eyes, Fang Yuan's action was no different from seeking death!
