Huo Fei remained adamant, refusing to budge even when Old Man He pleaded with him in person.

He compromised for too long.

The cultivation world seemed to have grown accustomed to his compromises, repeatedly provoking him. He needed to make an example of someone to intimidate others, and He Bingquan was the best candidate.

Old Man He: "This unfilial grandson has offended a senior. I beg you to be lenient and not hold it against him."

When Huo Fei refused to help again, Old Man He aged several steps in an instant.

He was heartbroken. He Bingquan was the representative of the He family's current generation. After discovering his talent, he had devoted the entire clan's resources to nurturing him. Unexpectedly, after only two years of being released, he had ended up like this.

The He family's hard work of two or three decades was destroyed just like that.

Old Man He felt resentment, but he couldn't muster any hatred. He knew that hatred would be futile; he couldn't shake Huo Fei's power. Right now, saving his grandson's life was the most important thing.

Moreover, these old guys still have something to ask of Huo Fei. They can only befriend him, not offend him.

The younger generation was unaware of Huo Fei's power, but the older generation had witnessed it firsthand.

The prison break incident back then caused heavy losses to the cultivation world. It was a chaotic battle, and most of the demons who escaped from the prison were killed, but in the end, both sides suffered heavy losses, and the cultivation world also suffered heavy losses.

The Yokai Prison of that time was not the same as the Yokai Prison of today.

Back then, the demons in the demon prison were the reserve materials for all cultivators. Their skin, blood, tendons, bones, and demon cores could all be used to provide cultivators with materials for alchemy and weapon crafting. At that time, demons and cultivators were natural enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle. Exorcising demons was the duty of every cultivator, who would show no mercy to demons who had committed evil deeds.

Even the most compassionate cultivators will exterminate demons. Because their compassion is never directed at the demon race.

Cultivators are also a great source of nourishment for demons; when a demon devours a cultivator, its cultivation level immediately rises.

After dealing with the mass prison break, they went to invite Huo Fei to guard the prison. However, Huo Fei became enraged after witnessing the demons' miserable state.

He was silent and still, yet his single, emotionless gaze was enough to make everyone feel suffocated. In his rage, he flapped his wings and effortlessly crippled the cultivator who had committed the most killings in the hunt for demons.

You can imagine how terrifying he was.

The cultivator world has a very limited understanding of Huo Fei, and very few people have actually seen him in action. All they know is that he was born at Luohan Temple, is the guardian of the Bodhi tree, and possesses a demonic body with a Buddha-like appearance, unlike any other demon.

And since when, no one knows, Huo Fei has become the most powerful demon in the records. He has existed for so long that if the Xuanmen hadn't calculated that he was still alive, everyone would have thought that he had already perished.

Amidst the wafting sandalwood incense, in the solemn temple, Huo Fei devoutly bowed to the Buddha statue enshrined in the center of the hall, then slowly rose.

He turned around, his sharp eyes staring directly at Old Man He. His thin, hard lips pursed slightly as he said ruthlessly, "It's too late. I told him that day that I would bring you to me within three days, but he didn't seem to take my words to heart. A month has passed, and his dantian and meridians have been destroyed by the demonic energy. Even if I remove the demonic energy, he will be a cripple from now on."

Old Man He's face darkened, and after a long silence, he said sorrowfully, "He's crippled, but it's for the best. He's learned his lesson..."

He's ruined... ruined... so be it. Hopefully, this lesson will teach him a lesson he can truly understand the world. Not everyone is his grandfather... who will pamper him and indulge him.

When he was first put in charge of the Security Bureau, he gave him a lot of instructions and repeatedly told him to restrain his temper.

The world of supernatural arts is unpredictable and dangerous; one wrong move and you could lose your life. He realized that there are always people more powerful than him, and that even though his grandfather had some influence, he wasn't someone anyone could buy his services from.

Oh well, even if I'm crippled, at least I'm still alive.

The He family is not just He Guan's family. The reason why this generation put forward their grandson as the representative is simply because he is talented, skilled, and can intimidate everyone.

The He family doesn't necessarily need him.

Upon hearing this, Huo Fei turned around, his deep gaze falling on He Bingquan, who was placed in the center of the hall. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly grabbed forward with his large hand. The demonic energy, shimmering with a faint glow, slowly emerged from He Bingquan's lower abdomen and then dissipated into the air.

"Alright, take them back." Huo Fei stopped, his gaze fixed on He Guan, a faint threat in his eyes: "He Guan, my patience has its limits. I'll give you three days. Within three days, withdraw all the spies you've planted in Penang. Three days later, my young novice monk from Luofa Temple will be going down the mountain to perform, and then..."

Huo Fei was determined to take this opportunity to drive out all the forces that had infiltrated Penang, clearing a clean space for Yin Huan. When she returned, she could grow up carefree in this place.

Yuan Chi, who had been quietly waiting by Huo Fei's side with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing his master's veiled threat and added, "Master, you're mistaken. Not only is the little novice monk going down the mountain, but I, this old monk, am also going down the mountain to preach."

Yuan Chi decided to cooperate with his master's actions and clear out all the hairy Taoist priests who had sneaked into the vicinity of his Luohan Temple, thus providing cover for what his master was about to do.

After Huo Fei returned from Shanghai, Yuan Chi was released from the demon prison. Ever since he saw Yin Huan in the small pavilion behind the temple that day, he knew that his master seemed to be plotting something.

To be able to become the abbot of a temple, Yuan Chi is certainly not a fool.

While the Special Security Bureau was gathering information on Luo Tengshe, he also secretly rummaged through the ancient books in the temple. He didn't find what he was looking for in the ancient books, but he did find a shocking secret elsewhere.
