I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 44 - Whoever the thief is Kill him

“Your subordinate does not know, but the Tang Family’s legitimate daughter indeed appeared during the demise of the Golden Toad Gang.”

“The person in the tavern also took out a token that represents the status of a distinguished guest of the Tang Family.”

“Master, should we halt the collection of children?”

A serious analysis came from within the shadows.

“No, I want you to mobilize all forces to kidnap the children. As for the news of the missing children, it shall not spread any further.”

“Yes, Master!”

The secret room fell into silence.

After a long while, a sound too faint to be perceived reverberated within the secret room.

“Oh sinister path, I shall devour you all!”

…

The next day, early morning.

Liang Hui frowned slightly, looking at the several figures standing motionless outside his door.

After dressing neatly, he pushed open the door.

“Child, kneel quickly, it is this noble who saved you.”

Thump!

A child with a simple, tiger-like face.

Fell straight to his knees, kowtowing.

Thud! Thud!

Liang Hui looked at the child with a swollen forehead, extended his hand and grasped the child’s shoulder, helping him to stand.

“Last night’s event was merely a convenient act, no need for such gestures.”

“In any case, our family of three will never forget the noble’s grace.”

The child’s father, along with his wife and the child himself, bowed deeply in gratitude.

Liang Hui waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

It wasn’t until the neighboring family of three had left that Liang Hui turned his gaze to the innkeeper who had been standing silently to the side.

“Innkeeper, what’s the matter?”

“My lord, I was unaware that you are a distinguished guest of the Tang Mansion.”

“For you to encounter danger while staying here is my fault.”

The innkeeper’s plump face carried an apologetic expression.

Then, he took out a string of keys from his bosom and passed them to Liang Hui.

“This is the key to the separate residence behind the tavern. From today onwards, you may stay there for free until you wish to leave.”

Liang Hui hesitated for a moment but still took the keys.

He indeed needed a spacious residence for his training.

“Innkeeper, there’s no need for a free stay, I will pay the usual rate.”

“Very well.”

The innkeeper’s face was filled with smiles.

In any case, he had managed to retain this guest of the Tang Family.

In an era where the mighty roamed unchecked, even this uncertain gesture of goodwill was quite precious.

Liang Hui returned to his room and quickly packed his things.

He followed the innkeeper to the back of the tavern, where he was greeted by several large residences.

The innkeeper respectfully brought him to the residence and then left.

He opened the courtyard door, took a simple stroll around, and a hint of satisfaction flickered in Liang Hui’s eyes.

The room and courtyard were larger than the one he had rented in Yuanshui City, and the courtyard even had a tree that was beginning to show signs of greenery, providing shade.

After arranging some unimportant miscellaneous items, Liang Hui walked towards the courtyard.

He began practicing the Golden Toad Palm he had acquired yesterday.

As he practiced the palm technique, it gradually morphed into a fist technique, and he added several other Beast Form Fist Techniques to it.

The fierce sun was high in the sky, but Liang Hui seemed tireless, practicing his fist techniques relentlessly.

Each punch he threw would activate his tendons, bones, skin, and muscles, giving exercise to every corner of his body.

Sweat continuously slid off his body, soaking a large area of the floor.

Only when he was completely exhausted did he stop practicing and sat cross-legged on the stone floor, gasping for air.

‘With the progress I have made, integrating the Golden Toad Fist into my technique should be a matter of the next few days.’

Liang Hui thought to himself.

After his physical strength had somewhat recovered,

he stood up, donned a blue robe, and walked outside.

He needed to prepare some medicinal materials for the Bone Refining Stage and take the opportunity to search the city for dream-inducing items of the Internal Refining Tier Three, as well as different Beast Form Fist Techniques.

Liang Hui stepped forward into the scorching sunlight, his silhouette elongated by the golden light.

…

Time flowed like water, in the blink of an eye.

Liang Hui had already spent more than half a month in Burntwood City.

During this time, he had combed through the entire city and had not found the dream-inducing items of Internal Refining Tier Three.

He could only look forward to the trading event four days later, hoping to find the items he was seeking.

However, regarding the Beast Form Fist, not only had he mastered the Golden Toad Fist, but he had also acquired and mastered a technique called the Flying Swallow Finger.

He felt he was only separated by a thin membrane from the punching technique he had visualized in his mind.

With one more Beast Form Fist Technique, he would be able to break through this barrier.

The handsome youth sat cross-legged in the courtyard, holding a wooden mask, leaning against a large tree, slowly ending the train of thoughts in his mind.

“With a face like yours, why do you always wear a mask?” came a cool voice from above the surrounding wall.

A graceful figure, carrying a long hammer, stood atop the wall.

And then, she leaped down.

“Aren’t you doing the same, Tang Tang?” Liang Hui placed the mask upon his face and asked in return.

There was a hint of amusement in Tang Tang’s eyes behind her mask, but she did not respond.

She strode over to Liang Hui.

“Let’s not talk about these trivial matters right now.”

“I’ve come because there is a conjecture regarding the child-stealing forces,” said Tang Tang, her tone growing more serious.

Under Liang Hui’s scrutinizing gaze, she continued:

“Over the past half month, there have been no more reports of missing children in the city, but through the Tang Family and Divine Soldiers Valley, the number of missing children is increasing daily.”

“Such a situation is already filled with anomalies.”

“In Burntwood City, there is only one family capable of this.”

Liang Hui’s eyes also grew serious as he listened to the woman’s analysis.

“It’s the City Lord’s Mansion!”

Only the City Lord’s Mansion, the highest institution of the Great Zhou Royal Court here, could do this in the city.

“Yes, all the clues point to the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Our City Lord seems not as kind as he appears on the surface!”

“What do you plan to do? You should know that if it really is the City Lord, then our enemy is of Internal Refining Tier Three.”

Liang Hui stood straight, his inquiry probing.

He wanted to know the true intentions of the woman before him—whether she intended to give up, rely on her family, or rely on the Divine Soldiers Valley—and thus make his own choices.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Her clear laughter was imbued with an unstoppable boldness.

“Tai Yi, perhaps you think too highly of a Martial Artist at Internal Refining Tier Three. With our strength, it is not impossible to confront and defeat them!”

“If it is indeed the City Lord behind this, then we’ll take him down!”
