Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Aside from the Hai Family Patriarch, who has the power to stop me, others aren’t much of a threat when I’m at full strength.

However, besides the Hai Family Patriarch, there’s also the potential threat of Qingling Taoist and the other six great families, who might have hidden methods.

Therefore, in Sunset City, there are still a number of entities that can threaten the safety of Ding Hui and me.

A sense of crisis surged in Fang Yu’s heart for a moment.

He checked the attribute points.

[Attribute Points: 35.]

In the underground prison of Qu’s gang, a lot of demons were found lurking, and the attribute points increased significantly.

It’s unclear whether it’s the specialty of Qu’s gang prison, or if the slave prisons of the three major slave gangs also have similar lurking demons.

Next time when visiting the Kite Gang or the House of a Hundred Clans, I might as well take a turn around the slave prisons; there might be something to gain.

It’s clear that there are no demons within the seven great families; the major issues are concentrated in the lower and middle levels of Sunset City. The demons here should not have the ability to infiltrate the upper echelons.

Begin allocation.

[Attribute Points: 35→1.]

[Wood Zither Blade Technique [Tree Realm Middle Stage/Gradually Entering the Best State] → Wood Zither Blade Technique [Tree Realm High-level/Initial Understanding].]

Sigh—

Fang Yu let out a breath.

Finally, I’ve raised this cultivation technique to the Tree Realm high-level, just one stage away from the Wood Realm.

When this cultivation technique reaches the Wood Realm, I’ll step into the threshold of the Wood Realm, and my strength will be enhanced further!

And during this process, I need to master the power of the Bloodline Spirit to enhance my strength in multiple aspects.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu realized that his strongest trump card at present is actually the high-intensity demonization.

And high-intensity demonization requires… more attribute points.

To advance to the Wood Realm also requires more attribute points.

How to acquire more attribute points...

Fang Yu frowned and thought about the demon extermination action of Qingling Taoist Temple.

Originally, Fang Yu planned to occasionally go outside the city to hunt demons on his own.

But if the demon extermination action of Qingling Taoist Temple unfolds and the main force starts the large-scale demon extermination operation in the surrounding areas, the number of demons I can snatch will be limited.

However, if I act alone, there might be trouble when encountering powerful demons…

For a moment, Fang Yu actually felt a bit tempted by the demon extermination operation.

Advance, and I can leave the team to hunt demons in the wild alone.

Retreat, with the great Qingling Daoist and experts from the seven great families bearing the pressure of the Great Demon.

The most important thing is, Fang Yu really needs attribute points; only with attribute points can he have the power to fight at will and ensure the upper limit of combat power.

After thinking for a while, Fang Yu spoke up.

”Ding Hui, I plan to participate in the demon extermination operation.”

Ding Hui’s eyebrows clearly furrowed.

”It’s not advisable; there’s something off about this. Although Qingling Taoist Temple hasn’t put you on the demon extermination list, the fact that they’re advancing the operation itself is unusual. Joining in is like jumping into a fire pit.”

Fang Yu laughed and said, ”Shouldn’t we go against the grain? If Qingling Taoist Temple doesn’t want me to go, I will go, so their plans will be thwarted. Or perhaps they have plans to deal with me in the city, sending away most experts to catch me off guard and make a move.”

Even though he said that, Ding Hui’s increasingly serious look made Fang Yu slowly retract his smile.

”Ding Hui, I know that participating in the demon extermination operation will inevitably entail risks, but wealth is found in peril. We Blue Star people can only quickly become stronger through demon extermination. If they sweep away the easily managed demons around here, my progress will halt temporarily, and if something happens in Sunset City, I might be powerless.”

Fang Yu had long been open with Ding Hui, so there was no point in hiding this secret.

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui’s frown deepened.

”It’s very safe in the Hai Family.”

”I need to become stronger.”

”The demon extermination operation is definitely part of some scheme by Qingling Taoist Temple; it’s too dangerous!”

”Though I may not be able to defeat Qingling Daoist, I can surely escape.”

”You!”

Ding Hui was visibly angry.

It was one of their rare quarrels.

”Diao Deyi, why are you being so relentless? We’re safe now! We’re safe now! Can’t you understand?”

It’s not safe.

It’s not safe… Only a few months remain until that moment. When the two worlds connect, it’ll cause a devastating blow to the Blue Star world and create a huge impact on the game world.

No one can predict the future; only by constantly enhancing one’s strength can one ensure the safety of those around.

”I know my limits.”

Fang Yu slowly reached out, holding Ding Hui’s hand softly.

Ding Hui’s eyes suddenly widened, and she went numb as if shocked.

As a layer of blush gradually appeared on her cheeks, she quickly lowered her head, whispering in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

”Know your limits… even so, you shouldn’t act recklessly…”

Then Fang Yu suddenly let go of her hand.

”That’s settled. I’ll go talk to Hai Ruoyin; the Hai Family should have a spot for me.”

After saying this, he pushed open the door and strode outside, disappearing in a flash as if fleeing.

Leaving behind Ding Hui, who stood there in a daze, once she came to her senses, she glanced in the direction Fang Yu left, stomped her foot, and slammed the door shut.

...

”What?! You want to join the demon extermination operation?”

Hai Ruoyin almost thought she misheard.

Before, she was relieved Diao Deyi wasn’t on the demon extermination list; otherwise, the Hai Family would have to use connections to ask Qingling Taoist Temple to sell a favor and remove his name.

But now, Diao Deyi took the initiative to get on the demon extermination list.

Just now, when Diao Deyi returned to his room, she had been busy dealing with the aftermath of reports from her subordinates about the trouble he caused.

The slave incident had already stirred up a public outcry, causing the entire population of Sunset City to be on edge, even leading to price fluctuations in the slave market.

The common people sighed in grievance, petitioning Qingling Taoist Temple, petitioning the Seven Great Families to clean up the slave business in Sunset City and return the city to a state of peace and justice.

One could say that whoever suppresses the slave business now will win the support of the people.

Though the great families and powerful forces rely on their own strength, the people’s support is also quite important.

Farming expenditures, support for livestock, these dirty and tiring jobs require manpower, and even some special medicinal fields need people to work outside, requiring specialized talent.

Stepping back, if Sunset City doesn’t quell this disturbance, public opinion will spread, tarnishing its reputation. How will business persist?

The trade routes developed painstakingly by ancestors, hindered by this, discourage merchants from conducting trade, reducing the flow of people supporting Sunset’s economy. The city will fade into a decayed relic with no hope of recovery.

Therefore, the slave market must be suppressed.

The people’s petitions must be answered.

Even if it’s just for show.

Amidst the chaos of making decisions for the Hai Family and being worked off her feet, Fang Yu suddenly came over saying he wanted to join the demon extermination operation.

”Brother Diao, what are you doing? Although you’ve indeed stirred up a hornet’s nest with the slave forces, it’s not to the point where you need to leave the city to lie low.”

”Just because the demon extermination operation was brought forward, in just a few days, people’s attention will shift away from the slave issue to focus solely on how many demons the Sunset City teams have slain in the wild. People in the commerce sector will be eager to purchase demon body materials, and the whole city will become busy, unable to pay attention to anything else.”

So the demon extermination operation also serves to stimulate the economic flow in Sunset City.

But...

”There’s no need to persuade, Miss Hai, my mind’s made up. After witnessing the havoc demons wreak on the people today, I want to contribute to the people of Sunset City.”

Fang Yu spoke righteously.

Yet Hai Ruoyin rolled her eyes in her heart, not believing a word.

But since Fang Yu brought up the matter, she couldn’t refuse, but...

”The participation slots for the Hai Family are already full, Brother Diao. If you still want to join the demon extermination team, you’ll have to replace someone already on the list.”

”Is there any difficulty in that?”
