After a short while,
when they reckoned that both had changed clothes, Luo Shuang came back.
Su Heng was wearing Wang Xindong's trousers and a long robe with a white base and gold patterns.
The originally loose robe looked like a tight-fitting garment on Su Heng's frame, almost bursting at the seams. Fortunately, the Demon Suppression Bureau used special materials in their clothing that had considerable stretch, which barely allowed it to fit his body.
Wang Xindong was in a tight vest on the upper body and big boxer shorts on the lower.
His furry thighs were exposed, and he wore black leather boots on his feet, spreading his legs wide, and he just stood there beside Su Heng with ease.
"Not bad, you have a good physique, young man," Luo Shuang's gaze lingered on Su Heng for a moment before she cheerfully spoke.
"You're Luo Shuang?" Su Heng extended a large hand, "Li Daoxuan has mentioned you to me."
"First impressions are certainly lasting," Luo Shuang reached out and gave a gentle handshake.
Her comment wasn't mere politeness, it came from the heart.
Hong Jizhen's half-body was still propped up on the ground, with large clumps of flies buzzing around.
Luo Shuang had a profound experience with his tough body cultivation when they sparred before. Yet in Su Heng's hands, Hong didn't land a single blow and half of his body was directly blasted apart.
It was too exaggerated, too bloody and cruel.
"We received a message, the nobles were meeting with the high ranks of the demons. Li Daoxuan sent us to come and support, but I didn't expect that things here had already been resolved," Luo Shuang took the initiative to state their purpose.
"Thank you." Su Heng nodded his head.
"How's the situation at the Demon Suppression Bureau?" He felt that the nobles wouldn't limit themselves to minor skirmishes this time.
"That old fox Hong Jiuxiang personally led people to guard the gate," Luo Shuang spoke solemnly.
"Only Li Daoxuan alone," Su Heng was surprised, "That old man is quite confident. We'd better hurry and head out quickly."
"You're right," Wang Xindong agreed.
"There's one more thing," Su Heng said, "in the territory of the White Deer Demon King, there are many demon corpses. These corpses are useful for my cultivation, help me send someone to bring them back."
"Small matter." Wang Xindong subconsciously reached into his chest to search, only to come up empty.
A feeling of impending storm, increasingly oppressive, was building.
Demons, nobles, Demon Suppression Bureau, the contradictions among the three had been intensified.
Now, it was pretty much a complete face-off, and what followed would be the final battle to see who would emerge as the ultimate victor.
After a few words with Li Daoxuan,
Su Heng left the study and returned to the Demon Suppression Tower.
Two days later, all the demons from the territory of the White Deer Demon King had been collected and transformed, coming together.
Rumble!
At the end of the gloomy and solemn corridor, the stone doors slowly opened.
Su Heng's broad and majestic figure came towards, slipping off the black robe from his shoulders and casually placing it on the coat rack in the corner.
The firelight flickered.
Elder Li Xunhao of the Demon Suppression Tower bowed his head as he approached Su Heng.
"How's the blood pool coming along?" Su Heng asked in a low voice, striding forward.
Li Xunhao, being of normal height, had to jog to keep up with Su Heng's pace, but he showed no dissatisfaction and respectfully replied, "These past two days, the whole tower has been preparing with all its might, supplying the resources you need with the highest priority."
"As of now, the blood pool is essentially complete."
"Good," Su Heng nodded slightly, a smile crossing his face.
The so-called blood pool was actually an advanced version of the Tai Sui Fungus Strain.
After upgrading the Tai Sui Fungus Strain to the Fierce Level of the second stage, the abilities of the other fungus strains were also enhanced.
Su Heng merged the Parasitic Species with the flesh fungus strain, conducting several experiments, and finally found a method to preserve the essence of the blood energy within the demons to the greatest extent.
And the application of this method was the blood pool that Su Heng had created using a vast amount of resources and the flesh and blood of the demons.
Walking along the dark corridor, Su Heng moved swiftly, the fire basins hanging on chains on both sides swinging back and forth with a whooshing sound.
He arrived at his study in the Demon Suppression Tower.
