Chapter 71 A Gathering of Intrigue and Tragic Past
Dong Guanfei suspected that this guy was the Grand Yin-Yang Master who escaped that day.
In addition, the Japanese team also includes a high-level swordsman who is comparable to Sanada Takehide and a mid-level swordsman.
The problem is that the Japanese, with their limited strength, should know that it would be difficult to take down Dong Guanfei and the Fu family.
Therefore, it is highly likely that there are still powerful beings of the Eastern "divine" level, equivalent to "true intent" or "divine intent," lurking there.
Or perhaps those skeleton soldiers were just the vanguard.
There were many onlookers when Dong Guanfei rescued Fu Jianming and the others that day, so the news was bound to leak out.
Therefore, he was not surprised by the appearance of these skeleton soldiers. These Japanese devils might even be planning to "fight the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman benefits."
But to be a fisherman, one also needs to have sufficient strength.
If there really is a so-called "deity" lurking in the East, it means that the guy is at least at the peak of the mid-stage of the Divine Will.
Because Dong Guanfei discovered Lolina.
She was in the basement of a Western-style house about 200 meters away from the Western Union Naval Club.
With her were a Silver Peak, five Silver Mid-level, and twelve Silver Early-level vampires.
They were all lying down.
The basement was clearly specially arranged, and combined with the emerald silver ring on Lolina's hand, it could create a gold-tier, blood-red shielding force field covering the entire basement.
The ring's force field merged with Lolina's crimson aura fluctuations, allowing her to shield herself from the prying eyes of those at the early peak level of "Divine Will".
However, this could not escape Dong Guanfei's perception, so his current level of perception was at least at the mid-stage of the Divine Will.
In addition, the Western United Naval Club and its vicinity within one kilometer have two Gold Senior, five Gold Intermediate, and twelve Gold Junior Western Extraordinary Individuals.
There is a high-ranking missionary in each of the two Western churches in Tiancizhuang.
In addition, Dong Guanfei also discovered one "True Meaning" beginner, four Gold advanced, and twelve Gold intermediate Eastern cultivators throughout the city.
The "True Meaning" novice practitioner was staying at a large inn on the North Wharf; he must have been a traveler.
Such a small place has gathered so many masters; the title "Shanghai Bund" is truly well-deserved.
Of course, the main reason is the confluence of events.
Many experts likely came because of the conflict between the Fu family and the Blood God Cult.
If the Fu family falls, they will likely transform into ferocious jackals, tearing off chunks of flesh from the Fu family's corpse.
On the way back, Dong Guanfei glanced at Fu Yuxuan in the rearview mirror. Fu Yuxuan had a sad look on her face, as if she had a lot on her mind.
"Miss Yuxuan, when we passed Zhibei Temple just now, your emotions were extremely volatile. What happened?"
Fu Yuxuan instantly snapped out of her reverie, her heart jolting.
She hadn't expected Dong Guanfei to be so perceptive; he could accurately grasp her emotional changes without even looking back.
After spending the last few days with him, Fu Yuxuan roughly knows that he is a straightforward person who doesn't like beating around the bush.
However, Fu Yuxuan felt that her relationship with him was not close enough, and that it would not be very effective to rashly tell him or even ask for help.
But... it's rare for him to ask on his own initiative, and if we miss this opportunity, things could really get complicated...
Fu Yuxuan was conflicted, her hands unconsciously twisting together, her chest heaving like waves.
Dong Guanfei didn't rush her, keeping the car moving at a constant speed.
With only a few minutes left until they arrived home, Fu Yuxuan gritted her teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Four and a half years ago, my father was killed by a demoness from the Tingxiang Sect at Zhibei Temple!"
"At that time, the demoness was also at the peak of the Spirit Realm. She received the inheritance of the Painful Ghost Mother, which required a Qi cultivator of the same level to die in extreme pain in order to break through to the Divine Intent Realm."
"She's got her eye on Father and's deliberately trying to get on my good side."
"I have always prided myself on being clever, yet I failed to see through her schemes and treated her like a sister."
"The result...the result...the result is that I unknowingly poisoned my father..."
"My father fell into the witch's trap to save me, and she successfully poisoned him. Waaaaah..."
"...I was so blind to have mistaken a venomous snake for a confidant..."
"The witch deliberately spared my life so I would live in agony forever... Waaaaah..."
When she spoke of her painful experiences, Fu Yuxuan broke down in tears.
At the same time, a pale golden light curtain suddenly appeared.
[The Witch Has Been Discovered]
[Fu Yuxuan, the infatuated woman: That vixen deserves to die! She deserves to die! Me too! I'll do anything if he can help me kill that vixen! Please, help me...]
[Option 1: You are worldly-wise and hard-hearted, unwilling to antagonize the powerful Listening Fragrance Sect for this, so you remain silent, only offering her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. (Reward: 5 Universal Points; The heartbroken woman is devastated and completely loses faith in you.)]
[Option Two: You feel sorry for touching her inner demons, comfort her, and promise to help her if the opportunity arises in the future. (Reward: 10 Universal Points. From then on, the infatuated woman will be entangled with you, and you will have a great chance to fight a bloody battle against the Listening Fragrance Cult within two years.)]
[Option 3: You've always disliked the ways of the Listening Incense Sect and are very interested in the demoness, so you promise to deal with her within a year, but not without compensation. (Reward: 20 Universal Points; a very high probability of acquiring her Red Pill within a month, gaining a rare talent in internal affairs; and a guaranteed bloodbath against the Listening Incense Sect within a year.)]
Dong Guanfei originally just wanted to provoke Fu Yuxuan to see if he could trigger the system's mission.
He didn't expect that a casual question would lead to such a terrible thing, so he was truly sorry.
So that's what she went through. No wonder the system listed her as a "pervert".
With a system and two top-tier inheritances at his disposal, even Dong Guanfei couldn't believe how strong he would be a year from now.
At the very least, he should have no problem matching the Saint-level.
Then there's no problem.
The key is that he can change his appearance in countless ways. Even if he cannot eliminate the Listening Incense Cult for the time being, his own safety is still guaranteed.
Moreover, the difference between 20 universal points and 10 is too great.
With these 20, he now has 102 universal points.
After thinking it over, Dong Guanfei pulled over and took out a white silk handkerchief from his pocket, handing it to Fu Yuxuan in a gentle voice: "I'm sorry, Miss Yuxuan."
"I think your father would be very pleased if he knew that you were able to regain your spirits, take good care of your family, and run the business well."
"I don't think your father regretted losing his life to save you, because it was his instinct and responsibility as a father."
Fu Yuxuan nodded slightly, her head bowed, and accepted the handkerchief with both hands. "Thank you, Young Master Li..."
"As compensation, I can find time within a year to help you deal with the demoness from the Listening Fragrance Cult, but you will have to pay the corresponding fee."
In an instant, Fu Yuxuan raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her tear-streaked face suddenly opened wide, staring intently at Dong Guanfei.
