Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Dog Demon and Human Calamity!

"Grandfather, last night I dreamt that our ancestral grave collapsed, it seems there could be a demon causing trouble!"

The old man was furious upon hearing this.

He immediately took Lu Yuan to the Lu Family’s ancestral grave.

After a careful search.

Indeed, about a mile from the grave, they discovered a nest of Mouse Demons that feed on corpses!

[You have killed a nest of Mouse Demons with initial intelligence, gaining seven hundred Heavenly Repair Points!]

"Grandfather, there’s an evil presence in the well, it even spied on me while I was bathing!"

The old man was furious again upon hearing this.

The hearts of men are no longer sincere; morals are declining.

Now these demons even dare to prey on children?

Elder Lu ordered the well to be dug up, and sure enough, a female corpse was found at the bottom!

[You have killed a century-old female corpse, gaining three hundred Heavenly Repair Points!]

"Grandfather, that Dog Demon outside the city gave me a strange look, intending to attack me!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lu was enraged again, and once more took Lu Yuan outside the city for a hunt.

Outside Qingyun County, in a certain cave.

A Dog Demon had just finished a hearty meal and was reclining on a stone slab, picking its teeth with its claws, burping contentedly.

But the cave was filled with a foul stench, the ground was smeared with blood, and human bones that it left from its meal were scattered everywhere.

Yet before it could fall asleep.

A streak of fierce white blade light suddenly cut through the air, with a sharp whistle, slicing the entire cave in two!

Unable to dodge, the Dog Demon was instantly severely wounded by the blade light and fell unconscious.

Immediately after.

A young child with a dagger stepped into the cave, leisurely moving forward to deliver the final blow.

But just as the child was about to get close to the Dog Demon.

The Dog Demon, lying in a pool of blood, suddenly sprang up, swinging its sharp claws, pouncing towards the young child.

Its Dao Practice was profound, its sharp claws could cut through metal and stone.

Even a Martial Artist at the Vein Condensation Realm would be severely injured by such a sudden ambush!

"This Dog Demon is cunning and sly, it even pretends to be dead?"

Elder Lu watched this scene with interest, having no intention of stepping in to help.

Facing the Dog Demon’s sudden attack.

Lu Yuan seemed to be petrified by fear, standing still without any movement.

Until the Dog Demon pounced right in front of him.

"Crack!"

Electricity flickered in the void.

A streak of cold light, like a thunderbolt splitting the darkness, suddenly illuminated the entire dim cave!

Wind and Thunder Saber Technique, First Move: Night Slash!

Then.

The dagger in Lu Yuan’s hand, with a wisp of purple light, sliced through the Dog Demon’s head at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The Dog Demon’s sharp claws were only half a foot away from Lu Yuan.

But that half a foot was like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how hard it tried with all its power, it couldn’t cross it!

A thin blood line appeared on the Dog Demon’s throat.

Immediately after.

This thin blood line circled around the Dog Demon’s neck, directly cutting off its huge head!

"Boom!"

The Dog Demon’s head fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

A gush of foul, steaming hot blood sprayed from its neck wound, dyeing the entire cave red!

[You have killed a Second Grade Vein Condensation Realm Dog Demon, gaining five hundred Heavenly Repair Points!]

"Grandfather, your strike was a bit too light this time."

Lu Yuan walked out of the cave with a calm expression and said.

Some demons with awakened intelligence are even more cunning than humans.

However, his Wind and Thunder Saber Technique had already reached Great Success, and now with a Vein Condensation Realm cultivation.

Even without the old man’s presence, Lu Yuan could slay it on his own, just with a bit more effort.

"Yuan’Er, your Wind and Thunder Saber Technique has become more and more masterful." Elder Lu nodded, unable to help but marvel.

He had been immersed in the Thunderbolt Saber Technique for decades.

Yet the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique was mysterious and complex.

Even with forty years of saber training experience, he had barely reached the Entry Level.

And Lu Yuan, at only two years old, had already achieved Great Success with the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique!

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was his own grandson, otherwise, if someone else had such terrifying talent, the old man would definitely be frustrated to the point of doubting his life!

With the Dog Demon already subdued, just as the two were about to leave.

Lu Yuan’s gaze inadvertently swept across a corpse beside the cave, and his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

That corpse was so devoured and bloody that it was no longer recognizable.

However, judging by its tall and sturdy frame, it was not hard to deduce that this corpse once belonged to an adult man.

What puzzled Lu Yuan.

Was that the corpse had shackles on both hands and feet, as if it had committed some grave offense in his lifetime.

It wouldn’t have been notable if it were just that one corpse.

Turning to survey the cave, Lu Yuan discovered most of the corpses had marks of having been shackled.

Moreover, some cuffs, torn apart with brute force, were scattered near a few corpses!

Despite its high intelligence, the Dog Demon was naturally brutal, always killing and eating on the spot, never wasting effort unnecessarily.

Furthermore.

Where would a demon get so many shackles and cuffs?

"Could it be that someone regularly delivers a batch of ’food’ to this Dog Demon?"

Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, an incredible speculation flashed through his mind.

"Grandfather, is this?" Lu Yuan looked up at the old man’s ancient eyes.

"It couldn’t be those fools from the government office!"

The old man snorted coldly, his expression dark as coal.

"Those fools think that by feeding these demons, they can keep them content and prevent them from harming innocent civilians."

"So, periodically, they deliver a batch of prisoners or death row inmates to these demons!"

Elder Lu was extremely indignant, obviously knowing about this for a long time.

In a world ravaged by demons and corruption.

The government office, powerless to change this situation, came up with this terrible idea.

In these chaotic times, human life was as worthless as grass; what mattered if a few prisoners died?

Moreover, some government officials, to save their lives and climb the ranks, couldn’t help but collude with the demons, engaging in disgraceful deals.

Lu Yuan shook his head with a complex expression, understanding from the old man’s words.

This was not an isolated incident but rather common across the country!

The collusion between officials and demons had become an unwritten rule.

It seemed that the Great Spirit Dynasty was already rotten to the core.

Throughout the vast imperial territory, chaos caused by demons and humans was widespread.

How could a mere Demon Suppression Bureau manage to oversee it all?

Besides, they might not even be able to handle it...

It was only then.

Lu Yuan finally understood why the old man was so obliging, willing to accompany him on these reckless adventures.

Perhaps, beyond his concern for Lu Yuan’s safety, the old man also wished to do his part for the greater good of the people.

If slaying one more demon could save a few more innocent lives.

Yet unfortunately.

The old man was nothing more than a small Third Grade Qi Gathering Realm Martial Cultivator; what could he achieve with just his own strength?

Although he was righteous and loathed evil, he was past the age of reckless folly.

He wouldn’t foolishly risk everything including his life to save the world.

A pauper keeps to themselves.

The old man, knowing his own limits, only seeks a clear conscience.

Lu Yuan didn’t meddle further, following the old man back to Qingyun County.

After he found the thrill of taking heads, he planned to keep going, to continue having the old man help him slay demons.

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