Outside of Kotori City.
Currently, there was another area filled with makeshift shacks, like a refugee camp, on the outside of the original city’s walls.
This was a region that was formed and inhabited by the retreating Demon Hunters from the north, their families, and their subordinates.
The huge success of Sacred Spear, and the accumulated prestige of the headquarters over the years had long planted a seed deep into the conscience of their minds.
That before the world was destroyed, the safest place would be where the headquarters was.
Different types of members brought their families over even though the whole Kotori City couldn’t endure such a heavy burden.
Luckily, Demon Hunters were all independent people who earned their own money. They were able to quickly find a way to survive.
The housing within the city has all been occupied? No problem, as long as tents could be set up right outside the city.
As for the dirt and chaos?
Sorry, but in this generation, most of the residential areas were all generally like this.
Even though the gathering of Demon Hunters had put a lot of pressure on the safety of the locals, as the power was dominated by sheer numbers, the Demon Hunters still felt safe.
Unfortunately, this feeling of safety was like a bubble to Fang Yuan. Once it was lightly poked at, it would burst.

This place is a mess. Only by relying on my own strength, will there be true safety.

Fang Yuan was holding onto an illegible map. He had squeezed into the city and was finding his way around for half a day in the residential area before finally finding the address that Jock had left for him.

Although I know that it’s to save money on rent—to move to this remote area…

He was slightly speechless and went forward to knock on the door.

Hulk! You’re finally back.

The one that opened the door was Aunt Sophia. Her eyes reddened instantly when she saw Fang Yuan.

Why didn’t you tell me that something happened?
The atmosphere made Fang Yuan frown.

What? Hulk, didn’t you come because you received the note that we asked someone to send over?

Aunt Sophia hit her own forehead lightly.

That dmn messenger dispatch speed… Never mind, what happened exactly?

Fang Yuan felt that he had coincidentally missed it, but due to his sensitive, sudden urge, he had probably arrived a little earlier than they had predicted.

It’s Almon—something happened to her!

Aunt Sophia didn’t hide her worried face as she brought Fang Yuan to a room.
Look.

Fang Yuan pushed open the door and saw Peter first.
This kid had completely removed the restriction on his right hand. He looked like a famished wolf that was protecting his own territory and might pounce at any moment.
Of course, he calmed down when he saw that it was Fang Yuan.

You didn’t tell me that this kid was a monster!
Mary said angrily. It looked like an unfortunate incident happened between Peter and her.
If it wasn’t for Father, who didn’t allow me to tell anyone, countless Demon Hunters would’ve chopped him up into meat jam if I shouted even once. Hmph!

Unfortunately, her threat didn’t even make Peter frown. He looked at the woman lying on the bed.

Almon…

Fang Yuan moved a step forward.
He saw that the young and bright female robber was deeply unconscious. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her breaths were quick. No matter how one looked at it, it was as if something bad had happened.
Peter stared at Fang Yuan and said slowly,
Uncle Jock has already gone out to find a doctor.


Why did she become like this?
Fang Yuan’s eyes emitted a golden glow, his expression strange.
This Almon didn’t look like she was attacked by an Evil Demon’s scheme. Instead, it looked more like… her blood had awakened?
Although she had Evil Demon’s blood in her body, it was always recessive. However, it began to awaken after she met with an unknown trigger.
To a normal person, this was both a good and bad thing.
Once she overcomes it, she’ll become a true Master’s descendant and would have a huge increase in her strength.
Of course, it was also a dangerous process when the blood awakened. It was accompanied by the invasion of a chaotic will. If Almon couldn’t overcome it, she could degenerate into a demon!

However, even I had only just gotten the confidence in triggering the blood in her body. How did this happen so suddenly?
Fang Yuan murmured to himself and looked at Peter.
Before this happened, did any abnormal incidents occur? For example, did she come into contact with a strange object or person?


Yes!

Peter thought for a while and replied softly,
Sister met a purple-eyed man at the market. She looked afraid and went down with a fever after coming back…


A purple-eyed man?

Fang Yuan looked at Peter and saw that he also quivered when he mentioned the other party. He could somewhat guess what happened.
There weren’t many natural suppressive existences that that even a Voodoo Corpse would be afraid of in the Night Family Clans.

The process of demonization has begun. It’s not a problem of whether I want to experiment on her… but if I don’t proceed, then Almon has a 50/50 chance of becoming a monster! Moreover, a very problematic issue is that this is Kotori, which isn’t far away from Sacred Mountain!


He moved forward and partially removed the blanket.
Immediately, he could see purple patterns on the underside of Almon’s neck.
A weak type of presence belonging to an Evil Demon was gradually emitted and was becoming more and more concentrated.

She must be moved immediately. It didn’t matter if I performed my experiment, or if she degenerated, the terrifying presence of an Evil Demon would be released… I don’t want to become enemies with the Demon Hunters!


Fang Yuan solemnly came up with a conclusion.
Promptly, Jock charged in.
Hulk… you’re back? I brought a few doctors over!


Thank you, but she doesn’t need them for now.

Fang Yuan politely closed the door and didn’t even let the others come in to on check her.
After all, doctors who often interact with Demon Hunters might be former Demon Hunters themselves. If they went in and discovered Almon’s and Peter’s strange situation, hehe… then should I silence them? Or silence
them
?


Prepare a horse carriage, I need to take them away.

Fang Yuan used a tone that made it impossible for others to reject.

Al… alright.

He revealed a serious expression that even Jock didn’t refute and obediently followed his instructions.
Fang Yuan went back into the room and glanced at Almon.
She’ll be fine, I promise you. Also, wear your seal, or do you want to be ganged up on and beaten by a bunch of Demon Hunters?


Will… she become like me?

Peter looked at his own right arm, there were suction cups appearing on it, bringing with it a feeling of bizarreness and fear.

That’s only the worst-case scenario!

Fang Yuan spoke truthfully,
I have the confidence to make it so she can control the power in her body, and at the same time, retain her identity as a person.


Thank you, Mr!

Peter quietened down and promptly began to put on the gold shackles over his right arm, one by one.

Wear it, this was originally prepared for you guys.

Fang Yuan tossed out two bracelets.
I call them ‘Concealing Bracelets’. They’re low-class Demon Weapons, but their only function is to conceal the dark presences on both of your bodies. Unless you’re face to face with a Titled Demon Hunter, no one should be able to see through you.

After making preparations, he moved forward and carried Almon to the horse carriage with Peter.

Leave this place, the further the better.

Accompanied by Fang Yuan’s command, the horse carriage began to move instantly and left Kotori City without any surprises.

Hmm?

The process was very smooth and was beyond Fang Yuan’s expectations.

Unless an Evil Demon triggered her blood, but not for chaos? A good willed Evil Demon?


He somehow had a prediction.
The existence that triggered Almon’s blood and made it awaken would most probably come looking for her.
However, it wasn’t necessarily out of evil intentions.
…
When the horse carriage left the area of the city, Fang Yan handed out a money bag and chased away the driver that was very thankful to him. He drove the horse carriage himself and went onto a narrow road.
After traveling for half a day, a farmhouse appeared in front of them.
However, the farmhouse was deadly silent. The farmer, his wife, and their playful child had all disappeared. Only a few wild dogs were left roaming around in the cottage, while different types of poultry walked out on the street without any restrictions.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan sighed.
When the Evil Demon had surrounded Sacred Mountain, they had moved a lot of cannon fodder from the surrounding areas.
Although they were under a mind spell and might’ve had the hope of being saved, they might’ve also been killed or burned to ashes.
This was the tragedy of being a civilian in this chaotic world.
Even though they had no quarrel with the world, disaster would still find them one day.
However, Fang Yuan was only slightly emotional for a while. He promptly found a farmhouse and moved Almon inside and began to set up an alchemy array.
Although he had a secret motive for going down the mountain, he still had all the ingredients prepared. Peter was dumbfounded when he saw everything.

Since the Evil Demon’s blood is already alive in her body, we don’t need to find an Evil Demon ingredient. If she doesn’t become an Evil Demon Hunter, she would become a degenerate demon!

Fang Yuan wore gloves and promptly took out an enormous syringe.
Peter, do you want to save your sister? If you want to, let me draw your blood, as much as I want.

Not only did this brat have shocking determination, but his body also produced a kind of purity that was best used as blood suppression medicament.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to restrict the Voodoo Corpse within his right arm and even turn it into his own weapon with just his abnormally strong will.

Come on!

Little Peter was very brave, even though he saw his blood getting drawn in large portions, his expression didn’t change.
On the other hand, Almon’s condition had finally stabilized slightly after the
purity,
that was urgently extracted out, was injected into her.

By relying on her own will, she wouldn’t be able to win against the chaotic will in the end!

However, Fang Yuan could foresee the outcome.
If it wasn’t for his last-minute suppression, then this female robber would probably become a true demon.
Even when she had suppression applied, bits of scales appeared on her cheeks, and two bumps formed on her forehead.

Evil Demon Transformation?

Fang Yuan laughed and drew a compact ritual on the floor before placing Secret Silver and other different ingredients down.
After the duration of two hourglasses had passed, a complicated array appeared, glimmering with a mysterious light.

Although I’m not able to reproduce the ancient ritual, I’ve created this with the aid of Black Magic technique, so there shouldn’t be any problems!
Fang Yuan encouraged himself, immediately making his spirits rise,
It’s beginning!
