As a peak Lv. 8 with a long lifespan, Xu Jingming naturally had enough patience.

Every step on the evolutionary path had to be taken steadily. If one was impatient and veered down the wrong path, their mental strength might stagnate or even decline.

To the Demon Vanquishing World. Xu Jingming immediately turned into a beam of light and flew into the Demon Vanquishing World.

Demon Vanquishing World.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi arrived in front of a huge, towering city.

“As expected of the state capital.” Xu Jingming looked at the majestic city in front of him.

The city wall was hundreds of feet tall, and it extended to both sides without end. There were also a large number of guards stationed on the city wall.

“This is the center of Scarlet Cloud State.” Wu Qi, whose hair had turned white, gazed at the city in front of him in surprise. “I heard that the state capital is more than 300 kilometers long and wide, and it has a population of tens of millions. Over the years, we’ve visited all the prefectures in Scarlet Cloud State. We’ve finally arrived in the state capital.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

He had been in Scarlet Cloud State for so many years. There were more than 100 prefectures in Scarlet Cloud State, and the various prefectures were quite vast. Xu Jingming traversed ten prefectures a year on average and visited many county cities; he traveled quickly enough.

“Since I was born in Scarlet Cloud State, I naturally have to come to the state capital to take a look. Let’s enter the city.” Xu Jingming led Wu Qi through the wide city gates and entered the city.

On the city wall, the guards looked down.

Huh? One of the black-armored guards glanced at Xu Jingming, took out a thick book, and quickly flipped through it to a page—

Wu Ming: High-realm Demon Vanquisher (suspected to be at the eighth realm). Born in Cheng’an Prefecture, White County’s Chen family as Chen Qi, but he later changed his name to Wu Ming. This man travels the various counties of Scarlet Cloud State and has a chivalrous heart. He also subdues weak demons when he encounters them. He has killed more than 100 Earth Demons to date and uncountable ordinary demons.

He had once stood up for ordinary people and fought Zhang Ke, a high-realm Demon Vanquisher! Zhang Ke was defeated and fled in a sorry state.

A Heaven Demon, Zhang Ke, and two high-level Demon Vanquishers later surrounded Wu Ming. The outcome of this battle was a draw.

Wu Ming travels all over the world with a spear holster on his back. Beside him is a hunchbacked old servant named Wu Qi, and he practices Wu Qishan’s saber technique.

Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming? The black-armored guard looked at the portrait attached to the piece of paper. The portrait was lifelike—it was Xu Jingming walking with a spear holster on his back.

Another high-realm Demon Vanquisher is here. We have to report it immediately. The black-armored guard instructed his companion and immediately descended the city wall silently.

Xu Jingming and Wu Qi arrived at a restaurant and sat by the window. They ordered a few of the restaurant’s signature dishes and chatted as they ate.

“As expected of the state capital. Their culinary skills are really not bad.” Wu Qi ate happily and gave his praise.

“How can they open such a restaurant in the state capital without some culinary skills?” Xu Jingming held his wine cup and glanced at Wu Qi in front of him.

Uncle Qi had taken good care of him all these years, and Xu Jingming didn’t have a heart of stone. After interacting with him for a long time, he regarded Uncle Qi as a family member.

Uncle Qi is getting old. They signed a contract in reality, blocked their memories, and descended into the Demon Vanquishing World to become natives. However, the contract is set to expire. Once the time is up, they will die and wake up in reality.

No matter who it was—even if they were demons who were known to have undying obsessions—all of them would die once their lifespans were up. After all, almost all of them were planetary lifeforms in reality. Their lifespans were limited, so it was impossible for them to stay in the Demon Vanquishing World forever.

I wonder how long it will be before Uncle Qi passes away, Xu Jingming thought.

Suddenly—

A person walked into the restaurant. His skin was fair, and it was difficult to tell if he was male or female. He wore white and smiled as he walked to Xu Jingming’s table.

“Brother Wu Ming, may I have a seat?” the white-robed man asked.

“Ah, Brother Mijia. Be my guest.” Xu Jingming nodded. Having traveled the various prefectures and counties of Scarlet Cloud State, he had information on the high-realm Demon Vanquishers in the state, so he naturally recognized the other party.

The white-robed man glanced at Wu Qi and then smiled at Xu Jingming. “I’ve long heard of your name, Brother Wu Ming, but you travel all over the world, and your whereabouts are unpredictable. I haven’t had the chance to meet you until today.”

“I go wherever the world brings me. The world is my home,” Xu Jingming said. “Brother Mijia, is there something for me?”

“The Demon Vanquishing Sect I’m from, the Holy Light Sect, has some influence in Scarlet Cloud State. There are nine high-realm Demon Vanquishers in the sect! I’m here today to invite you to join us, Brother Wu Ming,” the white-robed man, Mijia, said. “After you join us, we can join forces to deal with Heaven Demons. The chances of capturing a Heaven Demon are higher.”

“Heaven Demons are difficult to capture.” Xu Jingming nodded.

It was difficult. He had only encountered a Heaven Demon once in the past decade or so.

The Heaven Demon was disguised as the concubine of a wealthy businessman and lived an ordinary life. Xu Jingming couldn’t tell when she restrained her aura.

Xu Jingming was willing to help ordinary people, and when he was investigating a case, he found the source—that concubine.

Although he had the advantage in the battle, he failed to take down the concubine.

At this moment, the high-realm Demon Vanquisher, Zhang Ke—who had come to exact revenge—secretly attacked with his two companions, hoping to seize the opportunity to snatch the Heaven Demon. Xu Jingming counter-attacked in fury, and the Heaven Demon seized the opportunity of the Demon Vanquishers’ grudge to escape.

“All Heaven Demons have their own powerful means. It’s very difficult to find them, and it’s even harder to kill them,” said Mijia with a smile. “Our chances will be much higher if we join forces.”

“I appreciate the thought. I haven’t joined any faction in all these years,” Xu Jingming said. “I still don’t have any plans for that.”
