I didn't hide anything. When I mentioned the Zhang family in the capital, Curator Du suddenly understood. He also cautiously reminded me not to become enemies with the Zhang family to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Of course, I agreed. Even if I had a meteoric performance, I wouldn't be so arrogant. For a martial artist, it was important to be neither servile nor overbearing.
"Hey, what's wrong, Curator Du?" I asked curiously.
"Xiao Zhuang, something happened!"
Curator Du's panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. My heart skipped a beat. For a big shot like Curator Du, what he said was definitely not a small matter.
"What happened?" I asked impatiently.
"Just last night, three powerful martial arts families in Nan Yun's Chu Zhou region were annihilated. From top to bottom, none of them were spared. Even though the higher-ups tried their best to suppress it, they couldn't stop the news from spreading. Now, everyone in Chu Zhou is in a state of panic. According to the clues I received, it's highly likely that it was the Blood Demon's doing." Curator Du's words were shocking.
"Ah?"
I was stunned at first, then my face darkened. Curator Du and Master Chen had always thought that the Blood Demon had escaped to another province. However, it turned out that he was still in Nan Yun Province. Not only that, but he had taken action again!
Most likely, Blood Demon felt that the most dangerous place was the safest place. As it turned out, his plan had succeeded. The two consecutive extermination had already brought a catastrophic blow to Nanyun Province. After the news spread, the people there would definitely fall into a panicked atmosphere. It would even have a great negative impact on the normal operation of society.
"What should I do? Do I need to go back?"
I suddenly felt uneasy. Liu Jie and the others were in Curator Du's place. I could only say that I could be at ease, but I wasn't completely at ease. If something happened to them, I would live in guilt for the rest of my life.
I had a faint premonition that the Blood Demon wouldn't let go of such a rare treasure like the Pure Yang bloodline. It was precisely because of this that I was worried that he would use Sister-in-law and the others to threaten me. I had to admit that this was my fatal weakness.
"I don't think so. I'm still investigating the situation. Chu Zhou City is an autonomous state, and a lot of things are independent. I still need to think of a way to get the video of the incident. I will inform you of the latest developments. Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure the safety of Liu Jie and the others." Curator Du sounded a little frustrated.
"Okay, thank you, Director Du."
I was reassured. Chu Zhou City was only one or two hours away from Kun City. If the Blood Demons wanted to attack, they could attack at any time. I had to be prepared.
"What are you talking about? You made it to the top three yesterday. So far, there have been no less than thirty congratulatory phone calls. Many people have come because of your fame," Director Du said grumpily.
Curator Du said grumpily. Originally, this joy could last for a while, but he did not expect that Blood Demon's sudden attack would catch everyone off guard. As the backbone of the Nanyun martial arts field, Curator Du could be said to be under great pressure.
If he didn't treat it carefully, it wouldn't just be a few martial arts families, but ordinary people. Moreover, it was the era of the Internet. If the news of Nan Yun's incident spread to the entire country of Hua Xia and even the world, it would cause a great disturbance.
Even now, he had an undeniable responsibility, not to mention that things had developed to that point.
I smiled bitterly. Compared to these achievements, the mess I made was also a big hole that was hard to fill.
"By the way, Director Du, it's a good thing that people come because of your fame, but it's also easy to create a situation where the good and the bad are mixed together. Even if we don't close down the school, we have to at least strictly guard the school's safety," I reminded him solemnly.
"Yes, of course. I've already formulated the corresponding measures. But if that demon really wants to target the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School, I'm afraid these measures will be useless …" Director Du said helplessly.
I understood what he meant. Since the Blood Demon had the guts to attack, it meant that he had recovered a lot. Now that he had the cultivation resources of three martial arts families and the blood of the martial artists, his demonic power must have increased greatly. In that case, even Director Du might not be a match for him.
Hearing him say that, I was a little flustered. "What should we do?"
Back then, when we let the tiger return to the mountain, the two bosses were already worried. I even thought that it was making a big fuss over a minor issue. With their endless abilities, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the Blood Demon. However, after entering the Martial Saint Monument for the second time, I suddenly realized that the demon's strength was far beyond my imagination.
If he was at his peak when he fought against Daoist Zhang, he would at most have recovered thirty to forty percent of his strength. Even so, he was still a hot potato. It was conceivable that if the Blood Demon kept playing hide and seek, the entire Hua Xia would be in danger after he transformed.
"I'll ask Old Chen first and see what he has to say." Director Du was also having a headache. After saying goodbye to me, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Although the training in the capital was important, compared to the safety of Liu Jie and the others, it could be put aside. I was prepared to rush back, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this method wouldn't solve the root of the problem. If the Blood Demon left Nanyun and went to another province to cause trouble, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
He had plenty of time to waste with me. Just like that, I spent the whole morning in a restless state. During this time, I chatted with Liu Jie and the others. They had also heard about what had happened in Chu Zhou City. When I heard their voice messages, I felt worried. I had to comfort them.
At noon, Grandmaster Chen came to find me. He couldn't hide the seriousness on his face. "Xiao Zhuang, come with me."
"Okay."
I nodded like a child who had done something wrong. In fact, when the two bosses were fighting against the Blood Demon, they had the chance to kill him in the cradle. However, if they had done that, they would have died together with the Blood Demon.
Director Du couldn't bear to kill me, so he begged Grandmaster Chen many times. From his point of view, I was the hope of Nan Yun. However, his plea didn't change Grandmaster Chen's mind. When it came to the interests of the world, there was no such thing as favoritism.
Of course, when the Blood Demon mentioned that I had the Pure Yang bloodline, which was rarely seen in thousands of years, Grandmaster Chen became hesitant. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that I could bring the martial arts civilization to a new level!
