Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

The Dao Alliance members were quite aware of the strength of Ximen Chuisha and the others; they were all at the peak of the Lesser Demon King level.

The three of them working together were actually defeated by that guy, which means that his strength, if nothing unexpected happened, had already reached the level of a Great Demon King.

The meaning is completely different when it comes to the Great Demon King.

Within the entire circle, not just the Dao Alliance, setting aside hatred and prejudice...

Possessing the strength of a great demon king, one can basically be considered a guest of honor of all major forces.

This level of existence is practically the ceiling, assuming the Demon Emperor doesn't appear.

Among the Five Poison Protectors of the Southern Kingdom, apart from Poison Master, the rest of them all possessed the strength of Great Demon Kings.

Within the Dao Alliance, the Great Demon King is essentially at the level of the heads of various powerful families.

If they wanted to take action against a great demon king, even the Dao Alliance would need to seriously consider it and mobilize as many people as possible.

Otherwise, it would be bad if something went wrong.

The Dao Alliance was abuzz with discussion about Lin Yu's situation, and the news spread quickly.

At this very moment, in some unknown, dilapidated temple.

A group of people dressed in various styles and wearing masks were gathered here, seemingly discussing something.

If Lin Yu were here, he would definitely be able to recognize them by the different masks on their faces.

These guys are none other than the Masked Organization, which has a significant role in the original work!

"We just received news that the guy who massacred the Celestial Academy a while ago has reappeared."

A gentle voice rang out, and the speaker was a tall figure wearing a smiling mask.

The mask looks very simple, yet it reveals a hint of "comical" flavor. It is the mask of the founder of the Masked Organization, codenamed Mr. Sword, Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye.

"Celestial Academy? This is a trivial matter, it shouldn't be very interesting, but that guy seems to be quite good at escaping, it's taken so long for news to come out."

Wearing a mask that resembled a Peking Opera mask, Li Quzhuo spoke in a somewhat lighthearted tone.

"Don't underestimate him. He took care of a small group of cultivators on his escape, and just now, he killed Ximen Chuisha, Chi Huo, and Shi Tang."

Wang Quanba shook his head and said calmly.

"I remember these three guys were pretty strong, they were somewhat famous, they should be at the peak of the Lesser Demon King level, right?"

Chapter 73 Taking a Different Approach, Approaching a Breakthrough

. . .

With a clear, crisp voice, Wang Quanzui rested his fingers on his chin, speaking as if deep in thought.

"Oh? So this guy has been hiding his strength all along, and is actually a great demon king?"

"This is getting interesting. A great demon king who colluded with the demon race and withstood the magic head-on—could this be a guy specially sent by that demon kingdom in disguise?"

Zhang Zheng, the Black Sword Master, spoke in a serious tone, his voice carrying a hint of menace as he analyzed the situation.

"I'm not particularly interested in whether he was sent by the Demon Kingdom, but his fighting style does sound quite interesting."

"His ability to withstand magic spells suggests he's quite confident in his defenses."

A glint of light flashed in Tianhou Xingmu's eyes behind the mask as he smiled and said.

"According to the information, their destination should be Tushan."

"The Dao Alliance is preparing to deploy defenses at the border. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. There's nothing else to explore for the time being, and we've already figured out the situation in Beishan."

Wang Quanba casually remarked that it was just a great demon king, which obviously didn't arouse much interest in him.

They are among the most talented and outstanding young people in the Dao Alliance.

Everyone present possesses the cultivation level of a Great Demon King, and is fully qualified to be proud.

"I'll go over there. I've got nothing else to do, and it'll be good for me to get some exercise."

Mu Shenqi was the first to speak, clearly as he had said before, Lin Yu's fighting style suited his taste.

"Heavenly Child, remember to give me some talismans and magical artifacts for tracking. I'm really not good at finding people."

"No problem, this is a minor issue. Leave it to me."

Li Quzhuo readily agreed, "I'll give it to you after the meeting."

"Count me in on the matter on Tianhou Star too."

At this moment, Ji Wuji, the Twin Wings of Wind and Thunder, suddenly spoke up.

"This guy is too clumsy. If the other party really wants to run away, he probably won't be able to catch up."

"Besides, it's easier to find people when I'm around."

"That's true. Having you around would definitely make things much more convenient."

Mu Shenqi smiled innocently, seemingly unconcerned about his companion's complaints.

When they went to explore Beishan, and even when they fought against Shi Kuan, the demon emperor of Beishan, it was always a two-person operation.

They were incredibly in sync.

"Alright, then you two can handle this matter."

Wang Quanba nodded, finalizing the matter without saying anything more.

In his view, this was not a big deal at all.

Ji Wuji and Mu Shenqi's combined strength was even enough to hold their own against Shi Kuan, so what problem could they possibly have with an ordinary great demon king?

It should be noted that even among the great demon kings, they are not ordinary beings, and their combined strength is even more formidable.

"As for the others, they can take a break for now. Everyone has worked hard during this period."

As soon as Wang Quanba finished speaking, Wang Quanzui cheered.

"Wuhu, it's holiday time!"

"Little Deng, let's go! I want to go shopping and eat some delicious food. I've been so bored lately!"

As Wang Quanzui spoke, he dragged Deng Qiyue, who looked like he was about to cry, away.

Looking at his younger sister, Wang Quanbaye's eyes, hidden behind the mask, flashed with a hint of helplessness. Her lively personality was nothing like that of a lady from a prominent family.

"Alright, that's enough for now, meeting adjourned."

The others nodded and left one after another.

Li Quzhuo then came over with a grin and put his arm around Mu Shenqi and Ji Wuji.

“Come on, let’s go to my house. I’ll get you some good stuff and make sure you find that guy before the Dao Alliance does.”

"Once we've dealt with that guy, we'll dump him at the border. Remember to use the image-capturing crystal to photograph their expressions; that'll be quite amusing."

One by one, figures faded into the distance, disappearing amidst the sounds of daily life.

The once bustling dilapidated temple suddenly became deserted, as if it had always been deathly silent.

. . . . . . .

In the mountains and forests.

Lin Yu was still working hard to improve his skills, unaware that he had been targeted by the Masked Organization.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care too much.

There's an old saying that goes, "Many lice won't weigh you down."

We've already offended the Dao Alliance enough, so what difference does it make if we add another Masked Organization?

Moreover, there is something else that has now caught Lin Yu's attention.

"Just as I thought, it really works!"

Lin Yu swallowed the remaining half of the ginseng in two or three bites, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, as he spoke with delight.

Since preparing to break through the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Technique before a complete conflict with the Dao Alliance broke out, Lin Yu had been thinking about ways to increase his speed.

Monster meat is out of the question; it's impossible to get any now.

What about the other things?

After much deliberation, Lin Yu finally focused his attention on the medicinal herbs.

In these deep mountains and forests, there are quite a few medicinal herbs, to say the least.

Especially in such ancient societies, there were almost no ordinary people who could venture deep into this place to harvest, making it a veritable natural treasure trove.

With his LV.4 medical skills, identifying herbs is a piece of cake for him.

Thus, through Lin Yu's experimentation, a path he had never imagined before appeared before him.

Medicinal herbs can also increase proficiency!

The ginseng I just ate is the best proof.

"Therefore, as long as the food I eat contains enough energy, I will be able to gain a corresponding boost."
