He made an extra trip back to check in his last bit of spare ti that Qi Family Town was still stable, and that no one had caused any trouble during his absence before he truly left.
Inside Qi Family Town, outsiders were still discussing the weird sensation that had appeared before, while those with sharp senses caught faint traces of abnormal Qi.
But when they tried to sense it carefully, they couldn’t identify what it was, probing deeper... Well, that wasn’t a good choice; many had seen Liu Hongzhao return to Qi Family Town. Before, they might have tried to run amok, but if they were caught by him now, a fight was certain.
Those who were considered thieves with ill intentions deserved to be killed, and unfortunately, many who ca here harbored such thoughts.
"I’m off to sleep first; afterwards, I’ll start researching alien demons..." Lin Yaoyao yawned, unable to stay awake any longer after Zheng Yichen had left.
"Rest here, don’t go back," Liu Hongzhao said calmly, "It’s dangerous to be without a guardian at this stage."
"...It definitely won’t be comfortable to sleep in such a gloomy place." Lin Yaoyao did not refuse and settled down to rest by Hell’s Well, figuring anywhere was good for a sleep as long as she could get so rest.
Dusk Territory.
Zheng Yichen glanced at his phone for the ti: he had half an hour before he needed to clock in for work, enough to take care of so other business. However, after arriving here, Zheng Yichen noticed that the number of Dusk nuns among the alien demons had grown from the original little girl to two.
Though they looked different, the increased number made Zheng Yichen wonder if there were now several alien demon loli earnestly studying in that study room.
"So the alien demons have started to rise now?"
"Under the influence of the Supre Demons, their awakening has begun to accelerate," one of the alien demon nuns said.
"Tsk, doesn’t sound like good news... It would’ve been better if you’d texted later, give another month, and there’d be no more Supre Demons," Zheng Yichen said, looking towards Prioress Tia, "Did my rit points increase?"
Prioress Tia’s expression was as unchanged as ever as she replied, "No."
Because the Supre Demons had colluded with the Boundary Breaking Faction, they were labeled as unacceptable by Dusk, and those demons were not Boundary Breakers themselves. Even if Zheng Yichen wiped out all the Supre Demons in this world, he would not earn any rit points, moreover, coming here was Zheng Yichen’s personal affair, not work-related.
Zheng Yichen didn’t say anything further and used the remaining ti to deal with the Supre Demons’ materials. As soon as he brought out those materials, the spies within Dusk Territory imdiately took notice; those who could be here had insightful eyes and sharp discernnt skills.
Also, there was no aura shielding in Dusk Territory, only a prohibition against fighting. Thus, when people sensed the Supre Demons’ Qi on those materials, they imdiately looked astonished: the topic of Supre Demon treasure had been hot recently, and now, Zheng Yichen was pulling out a bunch of materials with strong Supre Demon Qi.
This...
This discovery made it impossible for them to stay seated. Before, it was speculation that the fall of the Supre Demons might be related to Zheng Yichen, now it seed an incontrovertible truth. The anxious spies imdiately carried this crucial intelligence back to their superiors, who aid to use moral high ground and public opinion to maneuver the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate and seize the Supre Demon treasure.
But they did not wish to court disaster themselves.
With every new type of material Zheng Yichen brought out, the spies found it hard to keep their eyelids from twitching. There were materials from at least eight different Supre Demons; not only that, when Zheng Yichen brought out so containers, their gaze couldn’t help but heat up. That red liquid, suffused with Supre Demons’ Qi, was blood from Supre Demons, wasn’t it?
Driven by greed, there was a mont when they thought of joining forces to overwhelm Zheng Yichen.
The reality, however, was that they could only watch as Zheng Yichen swiftly processed those items and nonchalantly walked away with them, their gazes following him as if... ahem, they realized that Zheng Yichen was deliberately letting them watch.
As he left, Zheng Yichen also told the two Dusk nun alien demons, "I’ll be back after a while; it won’t be long. I hope your numbers won’t have increased too much by then."
The number of Dusk nun alien demons was growing, a fact known to the spies. But Zheng Yichen’s words were obviously more significant; he would be returning before long, giving the impression that he was specifically coming to their territory to stock up, with those Supre Demons acting as his suppliers... When did the style of Supre Demons get so shoddy?
Walking along the familiar corridor with Tia, Zheng Yichen spoke up, "Can’t the ti I saved by clocking in early be accumulated for future use?"
"No, you can still clock in just in ti each occasion; it won’t affect anything," Tia responded.
"That’s really not user-friendly," Zheng Yichen remarked as he watched Tia open a door in front of him and walk through; the sounds of the door closing and opening resounded, and darkness dissipated. Tia’s ancient-style attire underwent another transformation, returning to a nun’s habit, albeit slightly less modern in style.
But as a perfect mannequin for clothes, Tia could carry off any style effortlessly, regardless of the shifting trends.
Zheng Yichen stepped out of the room, involuntarily clenched his fists, and revealed a look of surprise, "This world has high standards."
Feeling the significant increase in his body’s vitality and the liquid transformation of the Blood Asura inner force, Zheng Yichen made such a judgnt about a world with both high strength and energy levels!
