Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 481 Iron Coffin

Fang Xianyu knew nothing about the secrets of the Prince of Duguang.

After confirming King Du Guang's intentions, she felt relieved and began to assign various tasks related to the "human sacrifice workshop" matter.

Thanks to the player hiding in the human sacrifice workshop, Fang Xianyu finally found its location after tracking for a while.

Unexpectedly, yet logically, it wasn't a particular building, but a magic weapon!
It is an "iron coffin" that is constantly moving underground!
In fact, the underground of Duguang City was very lively. There was not only an iron coffin, but also many things that came and went. They crossed the roots of many Jianmu trees and ran rampant right under the nose of King Duguang.

Naturally, there was no prohibition against underground passage of magical artifacts in the Du Guang Kingdom, so no one would have imagined that the "human sacrifice workshop" that had been repeatedly dealt with but never completely eliminated was located among these underground magical artifacts.

After an unknown amount of time, the iron coffin finally stopped moving.

Fang Xianyu used the system's energy points to gently pull it out of the ground and bring it to the outside of the main hall in the center of Duguang City.

The area was very open, and General Huang and a dozen other powerful demons, presumably on the orders of King Du Guang, were waiting there.

One of the great demons, with a large number of light yellow feathers hanging from his back, stepped forward and said, "Sect Master Fang, you have worked hard. Please allow me to break this thing!"

Fang Xianyu took a few steps back and watched from the sidelines.

The great demon took two golden three-edged darts and stabbed them at the iron coffin, one in front and one behind.

Then, crimson blood began to flow from the outer skin of the iron coffin, and a foul stench spread, causing Fang Xianyu to frown.

The iron coffin trembled incessantly, on the verge of breaking, and a thick plume of black smoke continuously billowed from it.

Strangely, the black smoke did not seem to spread out, but instead went underground, and it was also faintly accompanied by a ghostly aura!

"I see that you are not up to the task, so I will do it."

As Fang Xianyu spoke, he raised his hand and condensed a spiritual power formed from the system's energy points, directly shaving off a corner of the iron coffin!

Then, she cast out a "net" made of spiritual energy, which was about to catch all the black smoke.

The great demon, however, looked somewhat anxious. He stepped forward to stop him, saying in a stiff tone, "Sect Master Fang, aren't you overstepping your bounds?"

Fang Xianyu sneered: "Oh? Why is this fellow Daoist stopping me? Is there something you're ashamed of?"

After speaking, before the great demon could even defend itself, she swung her "net" and caught the great demon inside.

The great demon was both ashamed and furious: "Sect Master Fang, what do you mean by this? Do you human cultivators intend to bully my Du Guang Kingdom again?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the great demons glared angrily at Fang Xianyu. If it weren't for King Du Guang's prior instructions to the demon cultivators not to clash with Fang Xianyu, the two sides would probably have started fighting immediately!
General Huang, with his impetuous nature, was the first to be provoked, shouting, "Sect Leader Fang! My Du Guang Kingdom has always treated the Taiyin Sect with great courtesy. What are your true intentions in acting like this?!"

The other demon cultivators chimed in, "Sect Master Fang, don't push your luck too far!"

"Du Guang Kingdom is not a place where you can run wild!"

Fang Xianyu chuckled, glanced at the Yellow Feather Demon King who was cowering in pain in the "net", and said, "You don't need to twist the truth like this. I have already spoken with King Du Guang. She will deal with the demon cultivators under her command, but I cannot abandon my disciple who is trapped in the human sacrifice workshop!"

Then, she said sternly, "You know perfectly well whether your actions just now were to tip off the culprit or to deliberately let the culprit escape!" After she finished speaking, the "net" extended out on its own, trapping the black smoke as well.

As soon as the black smoke touched the "net," a shrill scream suddenly rang out, startling the demon cultivators.

Then, the black smoke in the "net" transformed into a strange human figure—it had a single horn on its head, hooves on its feet, and three wings on its back, two on each side and one on each side.

The entire figure was pitch black, exuding a ghostly aura and heavy yin energy, making it look extremely eerie.

General Huang was taken aback, the hair on his ears standing on end. He instinctively jumped back twice and shouted, "What, what is this?!"

"I don't know either, but I suppose this fellow Daoist should know something about it, hmm?"

As Fang Xianyu spoke, he looked at the yellow-feathered demon in the "net" with a half-smile.

General Huang looked at the great demon Huang Yu in disbelief: "Lu Zhi Dong, you really...?"

The great demon Huang Yu, also known as Lu Zhi Dong, roared from within the "net": "Listen to her nonsense! What would I, a mere luo bird, do to eat people!?"

One of the demon cultivators immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Zhi Dong has never eaten meat, let alone human flesh. Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Another fiery demon cultivator shouted, "Human cultivators always believe everything they hear! When did it become her place to interfere in the affairs of my Du Guang Kingdom? You'd better release Lu Zhidong, or we will not let you off easily!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xianyu curled the corners of his lips and asked with interest, "Oh... so you cultivators from Guang Kingdom are used to using your power to suppress others when something happens, without asking right or wrong?"

These words left the demon cultivators speechless, and their initially fierce momentum vanished by more than half.

Fang Xianyu found it increasingly amusing.

She always thought that demon cultivators were simple-minded because they were both "reasonable" and "unreasonable".

"Reasoning" means not distorting the truth with one's words, unlike the cultivators in human sects and forces who avoid the important and use euphemisms to make the dead seem alive and black seem white.

Therefore, when it comes to verbal sparring, they can easily confuse the demon cultivators with just a few words.

Naturally, demon cultivators won't give up just because they can't win an argument. When they're not as good at talking, they'll choose to compete using their cultivation techniques.

Just then, as the dozen or so powerful demons were rendered speechless by Fang Xianyu's words, one of them suddenly erupted in anger, shouting, "How dare you run wild in my Duguang Kingdom!" while unleashing several streaks of azure light formed from demonic power, aiming at Fang Xianyu.

The demons were shocked. No one expected that someone with a short temper would actually start a fight despite King Du Guang's instructions. However, everyone could see that the demon cultivator only wanted to teach Fang Xianyu a lesson and did not intend to kill him. Therefore, they only verbally dissuaded him and did not make any physical moves.

General Huang, being straightforward, immediately channeled his demonic power to block the attack after his initial surprise, but he was too late and could only watch helplessly as the extremely fast demonic blades struck Fang Xianyu's face.

then……

A golden light flashed, and all the demonic blades disappeared, disappearing into the golden light surrounding Fang Xianyu.

Fang Xianyu remained standing there quietly, a slight smile on her lips.
