In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 106 Dog Demon and Human Calamity!
"Grandpa, I dreamt last night that our ancestral grave collapsed, and it seemed like some kind of demon was causing trouble!"

The old man was furious upon hearing this.

He immediately took Lu Yuan to the Lu family ancestral graves.

After a thorough search.

Sure enough, a nest of rat demons that feed on rotting corpses was discovered a mile away from the grave!
[You have slain a nest of newly awakened sentient rat demons, gaining 700 Heaven-Mending Points!]

"Grandpa, there's an evil spirit in the well! It's spying on me while I'm bathing!"

The old man was furious again upon hearing this.

People's hearts are no longer what they used to be, and the world is going downhill.

These demons are now even targeting children?
Old Master Lu ordered his men to dig up the well, and sure enough, they found a female corpse at the bottom!
[You have slain a century-old female corpse and gained 300 Heaven-Mending Points!]

"Grandpa, that dog demon outside the city is looking at me strangely, and it seems to be trying to harm me!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu became even angrier and once again led Lu Yuan to charge out of the city.

A cave outside Qingyun County.

A dog demon, having just finished a hearty meal, was lying on a stone slab, picking its teeth with its fingernails and letting out a contented burp.

Inside the foul-smelling cave, bloodstains were everywhere, and human bones, left over from its meal, were scattered all over the place.

But it hadn't even had time to fall asleep yet.

A streak of snow-white, sharp blade light suddenly pierced through the air, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, cleaving the entire cave in two!

The dog demon was unable to dodge in time and was instantly severely injured by the blade's edge, losing consciousness.

Followed by.

A young child, dagger in hand, stepped into the cave and casually went forward to deliver the final blow.

But just as the child was about to approach the dog demon.

The dog demon, who was originally seriously injured and lying in a pool of blood, suddenly sprang up, waving its sharp claws and lunging at the child.

It is highly skilled, and its sharp claws are enough to cut through gold and iron.

A sudden sneak attack can severely injure even a martial artist at the Qi Condensation Realm!

"This dog demon is cunning and treacherous, but it does have some quick wit; it even knows how to play dead?"

Grandpa Lu watched the scene with great interest, showing no intention of stepping forward to help.

Faced with a sudden attack from a dog demon.

Lu Yuan seemed to be stunned, standing still without flinching or making any move.

Until the dog demon pounced right in front of him.

"Crack!"

Electricity arises from the void.

A flash of cold light, like lightning piercing the darkness, suddenly illuminated the entire dim cave!

Wind and Thunder Blade Technique, First Form: Night Slash!
Subsequently.

The dagger in Lu Yuan's hand, carrying a wisp of purple light, slashed across the dog demon's head in an instant at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The dog demon's sharp claws were only half a foot away from Lu Yuan.

But this half-foot was like an insurmountable chasm, which it could not cross no matter how hard it tried!

A thin line of blood appeared on the dog demon's throat.

Followed by.

The fine line of blood circled around the dog demon's neck, severing its entire enormous dog head!

"boom!"

The dog demon's head slammed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

A foul-smelling, scalding hot blood gushed from its neck wound, staining the entire cave crimson!
[You have killed a second-grade Qi Condensation Realm dog demon and gained 500 Heaven-Mending Points!]

"Grandpa, you didn't hit him hard enough this time."

Lu Yuan walked out of the cave and said calmly.

Some demons that have gained sentience are more cunning than humans.

However, he has already mastered the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique and is now at the Qi Condensation Realm.

Even without the old man present, Lu Yuan could kill him on his own, it would just take a little more effort.

"Yuan'er, your Wind and Thunder Saber Technique is becoming more and more refined." Old Master Lu nodded and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He had been immersed in the Thunderclap Saber Technique for decades. But the Thunderclap Saber Technique was profound and complex.

Even with forty years of sword-wielding experience, he is only at the beginner level now.

Lu Yuan was only two years old, but his Wind and Thunder Blade Technique had already reached a high level!

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is his own grandson; otherwise, if someone else had such terrifying talent, the old man would definitely be so shocked that he would question the meaning of life!
The dog demon had been killed, and just as the two were preparing to leave the place.

Lu Yuan's gaze inadvertently fell on a corpse next to the cave, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

The corpse was so mangled and bloody that it was unrecognizable.

However, judging from its tall and robust skeleton, it is not difficult to deduce that the corpse was once an adult male.

What puzzled Lu Yuan was...

The corpse was shackled on both hands and feet, as if it had committed some serious crime in life.

If it were just this one corpse, that would be fine.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked around the cave, and found that most of the corpses had marks on their hands and feet where they had been shackled.

Among the corpses were several shackles that had been torn apart by brute force!

Despite its high intelligence, the dog demon is inherently violent and always kills and eats on the spot, never going to bother with anything else.

not to mention.

Where did this demon get so many shackles and chains?
"Does someone send this dog demon a batch of 'food' every now and then?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and an unbelievable guess surfaced in his mind.

"Grandpa, what is this?" Lu Yuan looked up and met the old man's aged eyes.

"It's all the work of those idiots in the government!"

The old man snorted coldly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Those fools think that as long as they feed these demons, they can keep them in line and stop harming innocent people."

"So every now and then, they would send a batch of prisoners or death row inmates to these demons!"

Old Master Lu was extremely pale, clearly already aware of the matter.

The world is full of demons and evil spirits.

Since the government was powerless to change the situation, they came up with this terrible idea.

In this chaotic world, human life is cheap as grass, so what does it matter if a few batches of prisoners die?
Moreover, some yamen runners, in order to save their lives and get promoted and make money, would inevitably collude with demons and do some dirty deals with them.

Lu Yuan shook his head with a complicated expression, judging from the old man's tone.

This is not an isolated case; in fact, it is quite common throughout the country!

The collusion between yamen runners and demons has become an unspoken rule.

It seems that the Great Ling Dynasty is rotten to the core.

The vast territory of the imperial court was filled with demons and man-made disasters.

How could a mere Demon Suppression Division possibly manage everything?

And they might not even be able to manage it...

Until then.

Lu Yuancai finally understood why the old man was always willing to grant his requests and follow him around doing silly things.

It's likely that besides worrying about Lu Yuan's safety, the old man also wanted to do his best for the common people of this world.

If we could slay one more demon, perhaps we could save a few innocent lives.

Unfortunately.

The old man was just a minor third-grade Qi Gathering Realm martial artist. What could he possibly do on his own?
Moreover, although the old man hated evil as much as he wanted, he had long since passed the age of being a hothead.

They wouldn't foolishly gamble everything and their lives to save the world.

The poor should focus on their own well-being.

The old man knew his abilities were limited, so he only asked for a clear conscience.

Lu Yuan didn't meddle in other people's business and followed the old man back to Qingyun County.

After he tasted the sweetness of picking up heads, he was preparing to continue his efforts and ask the old man to help him kill demons.

A group of unexpected guests arrived at the gates of Zhenyuan Escort Agency!
