Yan Xue's room was damaged and could no longer be lived in before it was repaired. Yan Xue temporarily stayed with Fan Xuan while Fang Ping left.
The criminal had been captured and the crisis had been resolved. There was no need for him to stay.
Returning to his residence, he entered the sacrificial space and looked coldly at the demon bound by blood-red chains on the demon altar.
"Kill … me."
Seeing Fang Ping appear, Huang Chao, who had turned into a demon, spoke intermittently.
He was already seriously injured and had his memory searched violently by Hu Ao 'er. At this time, his body was in pain and his head was swollen. He did not notice the abnormality in the sacrificial space at all.
"Killing you would be too easy for you!"
Fang Ping sneered. Execution was not the most frightening punishment. This was why many people who fell into the hands of the enemy would try to kill themselves.
The most frightening punishment was often to live but to live a life worse than death.
And he happened to have such a method.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
A blood-red pattern appeared in Fang Ping's eyes, and then a pair of blood-red birds flew out of his eyes and crashed into Huang Chao, who had turned into a demon.
As a Level Five Awakened, Huang Chao was naturally affected by the ordinary version of Kotoamatsukami.
Buzz!
As the blood-red birds invaded, Huang Chao's body, who had turned into a demon, suddenly froze and the will in his mind was suddenly modified.
To manipulate the will of others and turn them into "puppets." To some extent, this was a very inhumane ability.
But for this kind of demon whose hands were stained with blood, there was no need to talk about humanity.
Letting him live as a "puppet" for the rest of his life was the best punishment for him.
With a teleport, Fang Ping came to the villa in Liuzhou Base City.
"Young Master."
Sensing Fang Ping's arrival, Lu Yu greeted him.
"I'll leave him to you."
Throwing Huang Chao, who had turned into a demon, out of the sacrificial space, Fang Ping said.
"Don't worry, Young Master, I will teach him well."
Seeing Huang Chao, who had turned into a demon, Lu Yu immediately understood Fang Ping's meaning and said.
"Yes."
Fang Ping asked.
"What about the production base we took over from the Lu Family?"
He still valued a production base that could produce materials.
"Everything is operating normally, but we lack a sufficiently powerful Awakened to oversee the operation. You sent him here just in time."
"That's good."
Fang Ping nodded.
"I've received a lot of invitations recently. They're all from the family members of the awakened ones in the base city."
Lu Yu added.
"I rejected all of them."
Fang Ping decisively refused.
The purpose of these invitations was nothing more than to build relationships and build friendships, but he had no intention of playing house with these people. Instead of spending time playing house with these people, he might as well spend his time on cultivation.
Although he was no longer weak and was comparable to a Morning Star, and even had the battle record of killing Morning Star demons, it was definitely not the time to relax.
Although he had an undefeated record against Hei Ni, that was with the help of the Pinnacle Imprint, not his own. Moreover, he didn't have the Pinnacle Imprint now.
His strength was at most at the beginning of the Morning Star realm. Above this, there were veteran Morning Stars, peak Morning Stars, and Blood Moon.
In front of a true powerhouse, he was still very weak.
Not staying in Liuzhou base city for long, Fang Ping returned to Yinchuan base city. After exchanging some nutrient fluids, he immersed himself in his cultivation.
A few months later.
"Wind Control!"
In the space behind the door, Fang Ping fully mobilized the wind ability, Wind Control.
The wind howled, and one after another huge tornadoes, like pillars connecting the heavens and the earth, spun rapidly.
Crackle!
Blue-white lightning flashed.
It wasn't caused by the lightning ability, as Fang Ping didn't have it.
As for the lightning, it was caused by the friction between the tornadoes.
The wind ability obtained by Yagami and Ma through the contract with the Wind Spirit King was an extremely powerful ability.
Its power even exceeded that of ordinary extraordinary abilities. This was also why Yagami and Ma were able to obtain the title of the strongest wind magician in the anime Wind Stigmata.
Now, his realm should be higher than Yagami and Ma. Because of this, the power he used was stronger than Yagami and Ma.
After a long time, Fang Ping, who was sweating all over, exited the space behind the door and returned to the outside world.
Picking up the cup on the coffee table, he gulped down the water.
After a few months of closed-door cultivation, his speed of growth was extremely astonishing.
It had only been half a year since he became a Rank 5 Awakened, but now, he had reached the middle of the Rank 5. Given another half a year, he was confident that he could reach the peak of the Rank 5.
In a year, he was confident that he could reach the peak of the Rank 5 from the beginning. This speed wasn't slow.
The higher one's strength, the slower it would be to improve. This was especially true for the Rank 5 stage, which was only one step away from the Morning Star realm.
Those with ordinary aptitudes, such as Ye Zhen, the deputy chief of Hean Base City who died in battle, had been at the Rank 5 for more than ten years. But until he died in battle, his strength still hadn't reached the peak of the Rank 5.
Fang Ping was confident that he could reach the peak of the Rank 5 in a year. His speed was more than ten times that of the other party, which showed how fast he could improve.
The reason why he could grow so quickly was obviously due to his Extraordinary Growth Talent.
Its extraordinary talent gave it an extraordinary growth rate, and its strength increased like a rocket.
… …
In the conference room of the Yinchuan Base City's Magical Creature Countermeasure Department, the chiefs all looked dignified.
Not long ago, they received news that Yinchuan Base City, located three thousand kilometers east of Yinchuan Base City, was destroyed by a demonic tribe yesterday.
At present, the casualties were unknown, but what was certain was that the casualties were extremely heavy. It was doubtful that half of the people could escape alive.
"This is already the fifth base city that has been destroyed in the past six months. This can't go on. If this continues, the human race's situation will be worrying."
Deputy chief Xu Dong's face was filled with anger and worry.
"I suggest that we form a small hunting team made up of Morning Star experts to hunt down and kill the demonic tribes that have emerged."
"But with Yinchuan Base City's current situation, we don't have the strength to form such a hunting squad."
Deputy chief Lu Yun smiled bitterly and shook her head.
They were clear that if the demonic tribe continued to wreak havoc like this, the human race's situation would become worse. They had to form a hunting squad and kill the demonic tribe with thunderous means.
The problem now was that the battle half a year ago had reduced Yinchuan Base City's strength by half, and they didn't have the strength to form a hunting squad.
"I have an idea."
Deputy chief Xu Dong obviously had an idea, which was why he made that suggestion.
"With the current situation of Yinchuan base city, it's indeed difficult to form a hunting squad of Morning Star powerhouses. However, if we form a hunting squad of Morning Star powerhouses, it's still doable —"
"No, that's too risky."
Before Deputy Chief Xu Dong could elaborate on the details, Lu Yun had already objected with some agitation.
In the current Yinchuan Base City, after the heavy losses last time, the only Morning Stars left were Fang Ping and Hu Ao 'er. It didn't take much to guess that Deputy Chief Xu Dong was talking about these two people.
Both of them had the potential to be at the Blood Moon rank. To the human race, they were more important than a few base cities. He didn't want to see anything happen to them.
Xu Dong wasn't surprised by Lu Yun's objection. As far as he knew, Lu Yun had a good relationship with Hu Ao 'er and Fang Ping. He continued.
"Although it's very risky, the current situation has reached the point where it's necessary to take the risk."
"Moreover, Fang Ping has spatial abilities. At the critical moment, he can teleport the rest of the squad away. The risk isn't as high as you think."
Lu Yun still objected.
"No, although there are few abilities and enchanted weapons that can restrain spatial abilities, it's not like there aren't any. Moreover, if they encounter a Blood Moon rank, they won't even have the time to use their spatial abilities."
"The risk is unavoidable. Besides, there are only two Blood Moon rank powerhouses in the nearby area. It's not easy to encounter them."
"You're completely cutting off the hope of the human race. I strongly disagree."
Listening to the argument between the two, Qin Lan and Tao Lianghan lowered their heads, not wanting to draw fire to themselves.
At this time, no matter which side they supported, they would definitely incur the wrath of the other side. The best way was to stay out of it.
The two could stay out of it, but as the chief, Wei You obviously couldn't. He coughed and interrupted the argument between Lu Yun and Xu Dong.
"Xu Dong's suggestion is very good. Of course, Lu Yun's worries aren't without reason. Then let's compromise and recall Chang Sheng, who's in the middle of the mission, and let him, who's already a Morning Star, join in."
"With his current strength comparable to a veteran Morning Star, even if there's an emergency, it should be enough to buy time for Fang Ping to teleport away."
"But …"
Lu Yun was still a little worried.
"Alright, this matter is settled. Chang Sheng, Fang Ping, Hu Ao 'er, and an Awakened who's good at tracking will form a hunting team to hunt down the demon tribe that destroyed the Mountain City base city."
Wei You made the final decision.
Seeing that the chief had already made a decision, Lu Yun could only give up.
On the same day, Fang Ping, Chang Sheng, Hu Ao 'er, and Lin Jieyu, who was currently ranked thirteenth, were summoned by the chief to explain the mission personally.
In principle, they could choose not to accept the mission, but the four did not choose to do so.
It wasn't because Wei You's power was too great and they didn't dare to refuse, but because the four were very clear about the importance of this mission.
At this time, anyone with a little courage would not choose to refuse.
In terms of uneasiness, Lin Jieyu, who was currently ranked thirteenth, was the most. After all, she was the only one among the four who was only at the fifth rank.
But even so, she still did not refuse. Even the other party had such courage, let alone Fang Ping and the other two.
