Xu Jingming had given this matter regarding the Chen family a simple nudge to fulfill the original body’s obsession; his energy was mainly focused on Light Rays. He cultivated the visualization method every day and studied the knowledge within.
On the fifth day after killing Demon God Green Lake, Xu Jingming felt that he was in excellent condition and started refining the demon that night.
The refinement of the demon lasted for more than six hours. Only when the sky lit up did Xu Jingming successfully break down Demon God Green Lake’s obsession.
Demon God Green Lake’s obsession can’t sway me, but it’s quite difficult for me to convince him. This is a blockhead. Xu Jingming opened the door and walked out of the house, heaving a sigh of relief.
It’s easy to convince smart people, but it’s difficult to convince a blockhead, Xu Jingming thought. Fists and loyalty? What a simple obsession!
Demon God Green Lake was originally a fisherman on Green Lake. He relied on his loyalty to attract a group of fishermen and formed a small team. Later on, he unfortunately fell into the water and died from serious injuries suffered in a tussle with another fishing team.
He was still indignant and found his fate unacceptable when he died!
His obsession attracted the demonic aura of the world and turned him into a demon. He even gradually grew and became the famous Demon God Green Lake.
Being loyal also depends on who you’re loyal to. Blindly being loyal will only result in a head-on collision! It took Xu Jingming more than six hours to convince Demon God Green Lake with the simplest logic. But he also asked me to see the world from another angle.
Demon Refinement allowed one to see the world from the perspective of the demons.
Observe it, understand it, find its flaws, and finally convince the demon! This process was also a baptism of his mind.
Having the fist talk is a branch of strength theory, and loyalty is also a branch of the theory of reason. I understand everything better now. Xu Jingming nodded slightly. The Cosmic Human Alliance had a very complete humanities course, but although he had studied many theories and understood many things, he was still far from grasping the essence.
There were very few existences like Mr. Pang who had outstanding talent in humanities and had almost maxed out everything.
Of course, everyone had their own talent. In terms of martial arts, actual combat, and science, Mr. Pang’s talent was average.
Xu Jingming was a dazzling genius in martial arts, and his scientific progress was gradually maturing.
Every time the mind refines a demon, it baptizes the mind from different angles. Xu Jingming nodded slightly. When I completely digest the gains from this time, I can carry out the next demon refinement.
The gains were mainly deepening the knowledge obtained in some similar classes at the Primordial Research Institute.
…
The weather turned cold without warning. The sudden blizzard coated the entire prefecture capital in silver.
The Chen family and the others followed their caravan and finally arrived at the prefecture capital after experiencing hardships.
“We’re finally in the prefecture capital.”
“We actually encountered a demon on the way. Thankfully, it was repelled by the caravan guards.”
“It was my first time seeing a demon with my own eyes. It scared me to death.”
The Chen family was very glad after entering the prefecture capital.
“Patriarch, everyone is exhausted. Let’s find an inn to stay in,” someone suggested.
The old patriarch swept his triangular eyes and said calmly, “No, go straight to Chen Qi’s residence! We’ll visit him today.”
“Uncle, everyone is tired,” Chen Shi’an said. “Let’s meet my son tomorrow.”
“I know everyone is tired, and I can tell that everyone is exhausted. I believe… Chen Qi can also tell!” the old patriarch said. “We traveled all the way from White County with great difficulty and didn’t even have a hot meal on the way. Immediately visiting him will show our sincerity.”
The old patriarch looked at his clansmen. “We’ve traveled more than 500 kilometers. Don’t screw up anything at the last moment.”
“Yes!”
“We’ll observe what you say, Patriarch.”
The Chen family members nodded, so the guards naturally didn’t object.
Everyone followed the information they had received early on and headed straight for Xu Jingming’s residence.
“Sir, is that residence in front Mr. Wu Ming’s residence?” the Chen family members asked an old man.
The old man immediately beamed with joy and promptly pointed at the residence. “Yes, that’s Mr. Wu Ming’s residence! That’s one of the strongest Demon Vanquishers in Cheng’an Prefecture. With him around, I’m afraid no demon will dare to approach within a few kilometers! The price of the land around us has increased several times! Many people want to buy houses and live in the vicinity!”
The old man smiled widely, showing his teeth. Clearly, he was very happy that the price of his house had increased.
“Let’s go,” the old patriarch ordered.
The Chen family members walked toward the residence with the guards following behind. Soon, they arrived at the courtyard door, which was tightly shut.
“Shi’an, knock on the door,” the old patriarch instructed.
“Sigh.” Chen Shi’an was actually fuming. He was enjoying life in White County, but he was now forced to travel all the way to the prefecture capital. All of this was a result of his son, Chen Qi! But no matter how angry he was, he had to bear with it and bow his head obediently.
I just need to take a softer stance, and I believe Chen Qi will obediently acknowledge me as his father. When that happens, won’t I be able to do whatever I want if the best Demon Vanquisher in Cheng’an Prefecture is my son? There’s no need for me to return to White County! I’ll just enjoy life in the prefecture capital and marry eight to ten beautiful women… Chen Shi’an thought happily as he knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
Chen Shi’an knocked quite gently.
The door opened.
Liu Fu narrowed his eyes and looked outside. Just as it was among the officials, even a gatekeeper at the prime minister’s residence was a seventh-grade official—as the gatekeeper of the Wu residence, Liu Fu was now revered.
“Who are you guys?” Although Liu Fu noticed that the group of people outside appeared to have some background, he didn’t care.
