Let them make some contributions to human development.
"Of course, we will also fully support your new proposed research project—using artificial wombs to mass-produce test-tube babies. At that time, all that is needed is for men and women with spiritual power to voluntarily donate, and a continuous supply of elixirs can be produced..."
With a fawning smile, Wu Hongtu rubbed his hands together and said, "As long as there are enough elixirs, I can use the various elixir recipes accumulated by my family to make medicines that have been lost for a long time! This is a shortcut to human development, and you will be very proud of the decision you made today!"
"The premise is that you have to deal with that threat first." The other person looked at him with bright eyes, and his voice became deep and seductive. "Think about it, a fairy who is not afraid of the anti-demon coating, has spatial power but no killing power."
If we can learn something from it, it will benefit both of us.
“You’re right! I’ll gather people and start the investigation right away!” Wu Hongtu was very excited and patted his chest to assure them: “Even a fairy has to abide by the laws of nature. It’s impossible for it to be transparent and undetectable.”
There must be some loophole that allows it to disguise itself as someone else and infiltrate the area.
Please wait patiently for good news!
After the discussion, Wu Hongtu took his leave of the other party's luxurious villa, secretly thinking that as long as this person secretly helped clear obstacles, he would be able to obtain first-hand clues to track down the mysterious fairy.
When we catch that guy, all the wealth he's plundered will be ours!
Perhaps I can even gain control over space and penetration abilities; once the production line is established and running smoothly, I can definitely rise to the top with the secret formula. If Professor Li's research makes further progress, and he occasionally adds some ingredients to the elixirs, with money, power, and control over the technology, I, Wu Hongtu, can absolutely dominate the world!
As he watched his car slowly drive away from the manor, the man stared at the pill in his hand with a satisfied smile, then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
The pill melted into a warm current as it entered my mouth, flowing down my throat and into my stomach, quickly spreading a warm feeling throughout my body.
"As expected of a pill brimming with spiritual energy, it has that familiar feeling!" The man, who had regained his prestige, felt confident and was also very interested in Wu Hongtu's plan.
Now all that's missing is the Wu family's secret recipe...
If I could get my hands on the recipe for making the pills, kick that greedy, greasy fat man aside, and go it alone, it would be much better than being restricted by him at every turn.
Previously, the alliance needed his supervision in every aspect, and Wu Hongtu's plan had not yet been implemented, so naturally he dared not do anything underhanded.
But what about the future?
Who can guarantee that he won't be greedy and add something to the pills?
"It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help, and the dead are more reliable than the living," the man sighed, then got up and went upstairs.
The pink lights swayed, and the faint sounds of laughter drifted into the night.
Chapter 41: The Final Chapter (or the One Who Can Be Killed)
Listening to upbeat music, Wu Hongtu parked his car in a parking space at his own estate, loosened his tie, got out of the car, tossed his coat to a servant, and asked, "Where's the old man?"
"Upstairs," the servant replied respectfully. "Half an hour ago, the master said he felt a little dizzy and went to rest. He asked us to call him for dinner. The second young master is in his room; the third young master is in the backyard. Shall we prepare dinner?"
Wu Hongtu rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and ordered, "Then serve dinner. I'll go upstairs and call the old man. Tell those two good-for-nothings not to come over and to eat in their own rooms. I have something to discuss with the old man."
He climbed the luxurious and exquisite spiral staircase, still pondering how to talk to his father about the alliance without upsetting him. Although he was not yet sixty, his father had developed a heart condition from his years of dedicated hunting of demons and could not tolerate any stress.
If they learn of the changes to the alliance map, and are unable to withstand the blow...
"Dad, are you feeling any better?" Wu Hongtu knocked on the door and asked softly.
The room was very quiet, without the slightest sound.
With some doubt in his heart, he turned the doorknob and tiptoed in, bypassing the screen and entering the luxuriously decorated and spacious bedroom. Wu Hongtu found that there was only a slightly messy quilt on the bed, the window was wide open and a cool breeze was blowing in, and the curtains were swaying.
"Dad, are you in the bathroom?" He went around to knock on the door, but there was still no response.
After searching the entire room without finding the old man, Wu Hongtu was about to go out when he caught a glimpse of the half-open door to the dressing room and his heart skipped a beat.
The old man valued those prescriptions more than his own life, and he probably wouldn't keep them all for himself until he was on his deathbed, since his two brothers were eyeing them covetously!
Why not take advantage of the present moment...
"Click!" With a wicked thought, Wu Hongtu quietly locked the door from the inside and slipped into the dressing room, attempting to open the safe with the combination lock that the old man had personally set.
The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed.
Ye Xuan tiptoed to a floor-to-ceiling window that was slightly ajar, his eyes fixed on the young man who was on the phone, a sinister smile creeping across his face.
Upon receiving news of the alliance's troubles, Wu Hongtu's younger brother, Wu Tuguang, was making phone calls to inquire about the situation, hoping to take the opportunity to turn against his elder brother and get a share of the spoils. Otherwise, if the old man made him the head of the family in the future, he would have no chance at all!
However, he never expected that he, with his ambitious nature, would soon "meet" the old man. Although the location might be beyond his imagination, in the end, father and son were of the same lineage.
"The power I've accumulated this time is finally enough to restore all my limbs at once..." Ye Xuan swallowed all the people in the Wu family who had spiritual power. He was satisfied and was just about to use the newly replenished demonic power to restore his limbs when he smelled a fishy stench in the air.
Before the alluring snake demon could even transform into human form, she darted forward, flicking her tongue and speaking in human language, "Traitor, surrender now!"
Damn it! How come these fairies always manage to seize the opportunity so perfectly?
Ye Xuan didn't have time to think and turned to run away, but several spirit fairies came around from behind the tree and blocked his way.
"There are demons everywhere outside, do you think you can escape?"
"Stop wasting time talking to him, just do it!"
A demonic wind howled and rushed towards him. Seeing that there was no way to escape, Ye Xuan could only grit his teeth and desperately unleash a terrifying attack condensed from black demonic power.
"Boom!"
The trees collapsed, and three or four demons who were blocking the way were hit and fell to the ground, their fate unknown.
The curse made him wish he were dead, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Sure enough, the pain-for-an-attack strategy worked. The other fairies dared not advance easily anymore, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
"This is the house that demon hunters bought by making money by hunting demons. There are many other demon hunters like them who enjoy wealth and luxury by standing on the flesh and blood of our own kind. You bunch of trash only know how to kill each other. If you have the guts, go challenge the demon hunters! Be brave and devour them like I just did!"
Ye Xuan roared in anger and resentment, but could only let out low sobs.
Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, and he felt he couldn't hold on much longer and had to find a way to escape.
The other fairies had obviously realized this as well. Rather than risking going forward, they decided it was safer and more reliable to wait for the guy to give up on his own. They just needed to time their moves perfectly and be the first to swallow Ye Xuan whole!
[Mission: Rescue Ye Xuan from danger within three minutes. Reward: One-time use A-grade item.]
The sudden announcement of a task from the main system made the little white cat perk up. "Host, the protagonist is in dire straits again, what should we do?"
"The relevant departments have issued the mission, so of course we have to go and rescue them."
Jiang Chen didn't even look up, completely absorbed in designing the small world. He casually tossed a prop to the little white cat, "You're fast. Go over there and use this prop to teleport him to...emmm, let's teleport him to the Fifth Elder's manor in the Demon-Catching Alliance. Weren't they just gathering people over there to form some kind of action team to strike first, burn, kill, and plunder?"
"Perfect, let them continue to pit the wicked against the wicked."
"Alright!" The fluffy little ball of fluff grabbed the prop and hopped off toward the male lead's location.
Having already endured the pain of the curse and unleashed two attacks of demonic power, Ye Xuan gritted his teeth to keep from fainting, the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth staining his white fur red.
He was unwilling to accept it! He was so unwilling to accept it!
They've already started retaliating against the demon hunters, why can't these idiots see their own efforts?
Why don't we work together to wipe out all the demon hunters?
Why... do these guys have to make me die...?
"Whoosh!" Just when he was about to faint from exhaustion, he suddenly felt a strange force pulling at his body, and then Ye Xuan smelled a strong, sweet aura of spiritual energy!
Am I dreaming?
He rubbed his eyes with his broken claw and found himself indeed standing in a beautiful, unfamiliar manor, and the group of goblins who had been chasing him were gone.
Sure enough! There are still fairies who understand me!
Although I don't know who did it, as long as I can survive this ordeal and rise again in the future, I will definitely give them the best reward! I'll make them a majestic and awe-inspiring general of the demon race...
Without time to think, his body, trembling with excitement mixed with pain, leaped up again and plunged into the shadowy hall.
"The alliance is doomed." The Fifth Elder tapped the table with his hand and said coldly, "We must capture the Sixth Elder, who is in charge of security, and the Fourth Elder, who is in charge of research and development, to create public opinion."
Let everyone condemn their mistakes.
I have received word that the Grand Elder's two sons are at the branch headquarters and haven't had time to return yet. He's an old man who's about to die, and he can easily be dealt with by just a few guards.
Remember, when the time comes, be quick and leave some prepared traces to shift the blame to the fairy.
First, we'll seize his enormous wealth, then we'll take control of the alliance's finances, and then we'll incite trouble against Elders Four and Six. Once we've brought them down and divided the spoils, everyone can live a life of luxury and wealth!
"The Fifth Elder is right!"
"The theft from the Alliance warehouse was due to their lax security, and they must be severely punished!"
"Fifth Elder, rest assured, I have already contacted the top leader, and he is very supportive of us..."
…………
A group of people were making a lot of noise and preparing to devise a detailed plan for a surprise raid and looting, but none of them noticed that a small white fox with four missing limbs had appeared in the corner of the hall with the open window.
It was late at night, and the wind howled through the sparsely populated streets.
Under Jiang Chen's close surveillance, a large number of demons carried out a small-scale purge of the evil-doing demon-catching alliance.
As dawn broke, Ye Xuan was surrounded and ambushed in various ways, but he was not seriously injured. Instead, he successfully escaped the city and headed south.
The other fairies naturally followed suit and left one after another. Some fairies who were too greedy and wanted to devour ordinary people with spiritual power were all killed by Jiang Chen with a snap of his fingers.
Yan Lang, who had not cultivated any confidants or formed factions with various people in the alliance, and who smoothly ascended to the position of elder by virtue of his daughter's identity, listened to his daughter's advice and did not rashly enter the Lingqiu Mountain territory, but he did not actually return home to wait either.
He knew he was outmatched, but his daughter was still in the hands of the ancient nine-tailed fox spirit, her future uncertain. How could he bear to leave too far? However, the area around Lingqiu Mountain was mostly mountainous with few inhabitants. After searching the map for a long time, Yan Lang finally decided to go to the nearest branch of the Demon-Catching Alliance—Fuyang City.
After navigating the highways and winding through the strange terrain of the mountains for a long time, Yan Lang finally arrived at the Fuyang City branch building according to the navigation system. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
"How can the branch office be so disorganized?" After driving for a long time, he yawned, glanced at his watch, and felt quite dissatisfied.
No wonder the daughter and her group waited so long for rescue after they went missing. It's already this late and no one is at the branch office. This alone shows how many problems the Demon-Catching Alliance has to solve.
He was too powerful to control, corrupt, and extremely selfish. If it weren't for his daughter inheriting the power of the previous holy maidens and vowing to defend humanity against the invasion of the demon race, Yan Lang would have long since considered retiring.
"Ding dong!"
After ringing the doorbell for a long time, a slouching old gatekeeper, wearing slippers and a coat and looking sleepy, slowly came out. He glanced at him, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Looking for someone or something? Call the person in charge yourself. There's been a mess here, and everyone's run away. If I hadn't been owed wages, I would have left long ago!"
"What's going on?" Yan Lang was completely bewildered. Could it be that the branch headquarters was attacked by demons?
That's impossible! Even the most powerful fairy can't withstand the power of a steel cannon.
Moreover, it has an anti-demon coating for protection, so how could anything go wrong and everyone run away?
The gatekeeper looked around to make sure no one was watching, then waved his hand and muttered in a low voice, "It's haunted! Right in front of everyone, the cars and everything else disappeared. What's even stranger is that the leader's sidearm just flew up and vanished without a trace. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Later, the building became chaotic and panicked, and no one knew what was going on.
Since everyone had run away, I called the finance department and they said they would settle my account on payday and told me to continue guarding the gate.
This building is probably the only valuable thing left; almost everything inside has been moved out.
