The guard at the entrance of Tranquil Mind Tower, named Xu Xiasan, wore a strange expression at this moment.

Zhuo Xueer, this name, they had not heard of.

The Foolish Underworld has five divisions, each with three Captains, and under each Captain are five Deputy Captains and a varying number of Reserve Deputy Captains.

Even the guards on duty at the door don't know about everyone.

If it were the level of Captains and Deputy Captains, they might be remembered, but lower than that, there's no telling.

However, Xu Xiasan had some impression of the person before him.

Because yesterday, this person had entered Tranquil Mind Tower alongside Lord Ding Hui.

But to seek an audience with the Lord Hall Master based solely on this connection, it seemed delusional.

"This Marshal, the Lord Hall Master is not someone you can just see whenever you wish."

Xu Xiasan had no intention of reporting upstairs.

But Fang Yu still insisted.

"I've heard that our Wu Hall Master of Yangshen Hall has awakened; go and report, he should be willing to meet me."

If Wu Lvzhu had indeed woken up, naturally, he would want to meet himself.

And compared to the other Hall Masters, the likelihood of getting something out of Wu Lvzhu was obviously higher.

Only then did Xu Xiasan understand Fang Yu's intention.

The news of Yangshen Hall Master's awakening came from Jingyun Building.

But what was happening up there now, he had no idea.

Hesitating for a moment, Xu Xiasan still asked Fang Yu to wait there.

He wasn't going to report to the Lord Hall Master, but to seek instructions on how to proceed from his superiors.

After all, related to the level of a Hall Master, a mere guard couldn't handle it on his own.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped onto the stairway, Lord Ding Hui came down.

"Where is Diao Deyi? Did he come? Bring him up."

Leaving these words, Lord Ding Hui hurried back upstairs.

Xu Xiasan understood what to do.

With Lord Ding Hui's backing, he felt no more pressure.

He returned to lead Fang Yu upstairs and quickly brought him to the place.

It was where Wu Lvzhu was treated for injuries yesterday.

After watching the guard leave, Fang Yu pushed the door directly and entered.

What met his eyes were the Iron-eating Demon, tightly bound by several iron chains, and the Divine Doctors bustling around it.

And Ding Hui, was actually also among them?!

Fang Yu was startled, about to speak, when a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Diao Deyi."

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around only to see the Tea Ceremony Hall Master, An Menyi.

"Come with me."

An Menyi led the way, with Fang Yu following, they quickly entered the next room.

Once the door was closed, Fang Yu couldn't help but speak.

"Lord Hall Master, I've heard that our Wu Hall Master has awakened, but just now... it seems like he..."

Whether it was Wu Lvzhu's trust that had added some trust in Fang Yu, An Menyi spoke with a smile.

"Wu Lvzhu did indeed wake up, but he fainted again just a moment ago. Did you come here to visit Wu Lvzhu this time?"

"... Yes, and no."

Fang Yu said: "Hearing of Wu Hall Master's awakening, of course, I was preparing to visit. But beyond visiting, I also have urgent matters to report."

"What is it?"

An Menyi asked in confusion.

They had just met the night before, what urgent matter could Fang Yu possibly need to report today?

However, in the next instant, Fang Yu's words shocked him.

"Reporting to the Lord Hall Master, this morning, I have confirmed with the demons and formally advanced to the position of Demon Foot."

Demon Foot?

Promoted?

An Menyi was stunned at first, then joy appeared on his face.

Demon Tail is just a lower-level small leader among the demons, but Demon Foot already represents a mid-level cadre within the demonic powers, having access to higher-level information and ranks.

"Excellent! It seems that the sacrifices of the brothers were not in vain, ultimately raising you to this position."

An Menyi paced back and forth a few times, then looked at Fang Yu.

"In that case, the position of Deputy Captain of Yangshen Hall, even that of Captain, could be yours. But given your special identity, we cannot make this position public for you at the moment. We'll arrange for your smooth promotion behind the scenes. As for compensation, you need not worry. Foolish Underworld will treat you favorably for taking on this risk."

Fang Yu's heart stirred.

What he wanted was not these hollow offers.

His goal for coming here was clear.

"Lord Hall Master, I would like to request a Cultivation Technique."

"Which Cultivation Technique? You have made great achievements by ascending to the position of Demon Foot; whatever reward you want, just ask."

Since the Hall Master had already said so, Fang Yu didn't hold back and spoke directly.

"I'm interested in a Cultivation Method related to Qi."

Qi?

An Menyi was taken aback.

Qi is generally something that Martial Artists in the Tree Realm begin to touch upon.

But some talents could sense and cultivate it even at the mere Grass Realm.

Therefore, Fang Yu's request, though surprising to An Menyi, didn't seem too far-fetched.

However...

"Are you able to sense Qi?"

"Barely so."

"..."

Within the Foolish Underworld, Cultivation Methods related to Qi are no ordinary items; they are not available for practice unless one is at least a Deputy Captain or above.

This is comparable to the core resources of a power, only provided to those who have sworn loyalty.

As for whether Diao Deyi counts as loyal to Foolish Underworld, An Menyi was not entirely sure. Even if Diao Deyi was embedded within the demons for Foolish Underworld, An Menyi still couldn't fully trust him.

Because people with such a condition are very likely to lean towards the demons, and such incidents have happened before.

Once their identity is exposed, the threats from the demons and the temptation of benefits may lead those wavering in the middle to a point of no return.
