Chapter 388: First Demon Vanquishment (3)

Translator: CKtalon

It wasn’t cheap to hire Demon Vanquishers to deal with demons! This was because Lv. 7 and Lv. 8 experts descended into Demon Vanquishing World to deal with demons. If they failed, they would lose 100 million cosmic dollars, or even worse, their minds would be damaged. Therefore, the price the natives had to pay to hire them wasn’t small.

“We are still a few days from the prefecture capital. Please get some rest in the carriage.” Third Master Yu was very enthusiastic. He immediately emptied a carriage and specially invited the Demon Vanquisher to rest in it.

“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded and immediately invited his good friend—Zhao Zhen—and Mr. Zhao’s family to the carriage with him. The carriage could still fit the few of them.

“Your surname is Wu?”

“Chen Qi is actually a Demon Vanquisher!”

“The Chen family is really blind to have expelled such a powerful Demon Vanquisher from the Chen family.”

“If the Chen family learns of this, they will probably go crazy with regret. A powerful Demon Vanquisher! A demon that even the Yu family’s caravan couldn’t stop… was finished off by Young Master Chen Qi. Such a Demon Vanquisher was actually removed from the family register.”

“He’s not called Chen Qi anymore; he’s called Wu Ming! We have to call him Mr. Wu.”

“He took his mother’s surname.”

Many people in the caravan discussed softly when they saw Xu Jingming enter the carriage. They were excited about surviving the calamity and were also grateful to Mr. Wu for saving their lives, so they naturally stood on his side.

…

In the carriage.

Mr. Zhao and the others were a little reserved.

“Chen…” Zhao Zhen couldn’t help but say, “You changed your name? Wu Ming?”

Xu Jingming nodded.

“That’s good. Change your name and cut ties with the Chen family.” Zhao Zhen agreed with his friend, but he couldn’t help but ask, “How did you suddenly become a Demon Vanquisher? I heard that it’s very difficult to cultivate to become a Demon Vanquisher. You need opportunities and luck.”

“Yes, the requirements are also very harsh.” Xu Jingming nodded.

Mental strength was the greatest threshold. For example, when Xu Jingming first reached Lv. 7, his mental strength could probably only reach the first realm of Demon Vanquishing before the mysterious land’s test. After passing the test and cultivating the Primordial Star legacy, he reached the ordinary standards of a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform, allowing him to reach the second realm of Demon Vanquishing.

He had reached the third realm not only because he had cultivated visualization for more than two months but also because of the Ice Flower Spirit Liquid’s help.

From this, it was obvious how high the threshold for Demon Vanquishing was!

“I’m definitely not cut out for it.” Zhao Zhen sighed.

Xu Jingming smiled and didn’t say anything.

…

“Third Uncle, you want to give a courtyard to that Demon Vanquisher?” His nephew couldn’t help but say, “Our Yu family’s courtyard in the prefecture capital costs at least 2,000 taels, right? You want to give it away just like that?”

“Demon Vanquishers don’t care much about money.” Third Master Yu glanced at his nephew. “If he finds you to his liking, he’ll be willing to help you deal with the demons without any payment. If he’s unwilling, he won’t even look at you even if you give them 100,000 taels or more! Therefore, it’s very important to build a good relationship with powerful Demon Vanquishers. If you usually serve them well, it’s easy to get their help at critical moments.”

His nephew nodded slightly.

“Mr. Wu is a scion who was expelled from the Chen family. He’s so young, but he’s such a powerful Demon Vanquisher. It’s obvious that he’s extremely talented,” Third Master Yu said. “Perhaps he will be an influential figure among the many Demon Vanquishers in Cheng’an Prefecture for a long time.”

His nephew understood. “Third Uncle, I understand.”

******

Xu Jingming didn’t have the intention of hiding his identity. Only when he was famous enough would others seek him out, allowing him to find demons more efficiently.

The journey became much smoother, and the Yu family served him well. Along the way, all kinds of fruits, wine, and food were carefully prepared.

Eleven days after they left White County, the caravan finally arrived in the evening.

“We’ve arrived at the prefecture capital.”

“We’ve finally reached the capital.”

“Prefecture capital, here I come!”

The caravan became lively, and many people were excited.

Xu Jingming also lifted the carriage curtain and saw a huge city in front of him—it was also the largest city in Cheng’an Prefecture.

“The prefectural capital.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly. He would settle down first before visiting Qi Xiao.
