Chapter 69: 069: Summoning the Demon Feast (Part 1) – Coming Tomorrow

"I've checked," Wang Wu said with a smile. "There's nothing tampered with up there."

Since the Silver Vein Divine Sect is a world‑top assassin organization, all kinds of anti‑recon techniques are naturally included.

The techniques of the Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect had already given him fire‑eye vision, letting him see things ordinary people or monsters can't, and the Silver Vein Divine Sect, specialized in assassin arts, is even more so.

The technique supplied by Assassin Brother has already given Wang Wu many benefits; even though it's just the lowest‑grade Ninth‑level technique in Assassin Brother's world, its system's completeness, its powerful functions, and the detailed manual far exceeded Wang Wu's expectations.

Even without any tutorial, the manual alone was enough for Wang Wu to fully grasp every detail of the technique book.

This gave Wang Wu great anticipation for the higher‑grade Eighth‑level technique, but there is one problem now: he has no money.

He lacks that world's currency and any bank cards. Moreover, because of his "outsider" status, even when the internet works and he can reach search engines, many results display: "According to relevant laws and regulations, this entry is not available to foreign nationals."

Every time Wang Wu sees the preview image of the Eighth‑grade Extreme Heaven Vajra Sect technique that Assassin Brother sent him, he feels a gut‑wrenching anxiety yet remains helpless.

Forget it, let's just look at the ten‑thousand‑jin of food in front of us, family.

"Wow, so much meat!" Wu Er Niang crouched down, inspecting the bag of cured beef. "It's all beef; we can have a roast beef feast tomorrow."

"Oh right, there's something else I need to tell you," Wang Wu said, looking at the three female demons with a serious expression. "From today onward, we may not be able to go out."

"Huh?" The three demons were startled, but then quickly realized something.

"Did Yuan tell you, Wu Lang?" Zhu San Niang asked.

"Mm." Wang Wu nodded. "You remember, right? Yuan was awakened because someone robbed her tomb. Those who stole the starship and other treasures from Yuan's tomb are probably still up in the mountain doing something else."

"This place used to be the Tongtian City of the Shang Dynasty, dedicated to human sacrifices and holding Summoning Feasts to please demon gods for blessings. Those who robbed Yuan's tomb are likely the masterminds who started the Summoning Feast in the mountain."

"Now all the demons have awakened, searching everywhere for food. In this forest, there may be no living creatures left soon."

"We have Divine Stones here, which is relatively safe, but it's best not to leave the ruins' perimeter," Wang Wu said gravely.

"But Yuan is also a demon; why could she come here?" Shu Niang asked curiously, and Wu Er Niang and Zhu San Niang both nodded, looking at Wang Wu.

"I think she's just more special," Wang Wu patted Shu Niang's head. "Her mind is crystal clear, she can communicate with me, and it's normal she's not afraid of the Divine Stone. After all, she cultivates the demonic path; before death she completed feeding and swallowing demons, becoming a true‑realm demonic cultivator who fully controls a demon body."

Without transforming into a Heavenly Demon, Wang Wu's top speed is about 200 km per hour.

Using the Extreme Heaven Leap Technique lets him burst to higher speed briefly; at his current level, he can dash 200 meters in one second, equivalent to 720 km per hour.

However, the Extreme Heaven Leap Technique cannot sustain long‑term dashing; without affecting other techniques, the Geng‑metal true Qi in his body can only support a dash for about ten minutes, roughly 120 km.

Without becoming a Heavenly Demon, Wang Wu's current strength is roughly early True Realm entry, already stronger than Zhu San Niang. If he transforms into a Heavenly Demon, his combat power would leap to the True Realm.

Assassin Brother's Earth martial arts all have such attribute‑enhancing transformation skills; the most terrifying part is that many sects' transformation states incur no cost—only positive effects, no drawbacks.

As for those with extra cost, the boost is even heavier, like the universal transformation form "True Martial" that only Fourth‑rank Warriors can unlock. Wang Wu doesn't know why that skill has a cost; it looks a bit junky.

But thinking that only Fourth‑rank Warriors can unlock it, he knows that thing can't be simple.

"Anyway, to be safe," Wang Wu said, "we'll stay inside for the rest of this year; absolutely no going out at night. Tomorrow daytime I'll go to other ruins to fetch more Divine Stones and place them around outside, because we still have few Divine Stones nearby."

"We should also store more inside the house," Wu Er Niang agreed. "The kitchen, the restroom… the place where we draw water should all have some."

"The water‑drawing spot already has some," Wang Wu said, pulling out the fresh meat the humans delivered. The Spatial Ring can't preserve food; items spoil over time, so some things can't be kept inside for long.

The kitchen storage room has several refrigerators, called "Ice Cabinets" here, storing plenty of fresh meat.

They look just like the Warring‑States bronze Ice Cabinets Wang Wu once saw in his hometown museum, said to be the world's earliest refrigerator. However, these are real refrigerators, functioning like the ones from his home, with preservation and freezing capabilities.

But these devices need no electricity; they run on something called "Mystic Stone." Monster‑detecting Stone, Demon‑Extinguishing Stone, and Demon‑Driving Stone are all by‑products of Mystic Stone ore.

After learning of Divine Stones, Wang Wu stocked many of them in his home, all sourced from other external ruins.

"We have plenty of Divine Stones inside, should be enough," Wang Wu said, scanning the living room. "The main concern is outside; daylight is getting shorter, most of the time it's night, so it's better to keep those things farther from where we live."

"Then I'll go with you, Wu Lang," Shu Niang volunteered.

"Me too," Zhu San Niang echoed.

"Me as well!" Wu Er Niang grabbed Wang Wu's hand.

"No, I'll go alone," Wang Wu refused, his expression serious. "I'm afraid something might happen to you, and I'm fast and have a Spatial Ring, so going solo is fine."

"Fine…" Though they wanted to help Wang Wu, the three demons knew they couldn't be a burden, so they nodded.

"Let's set that aside for now, Wu Lang," Zhu San Niang pressed against Wang Wu, unbuckling his belt, and said, "You've been out there all day, why not take a shower first?"

Late night.

After a high‑pitched scream, Wang Wu lay on the bed, letting sweat drip from his forehead, enjoying the quiet night.

The bedroom lights stayed on, the pillar lamp in the corner shining so brightly the room looked like daylight.

Time passed slowly; Wang Wu savored the tranquility, the comfort of the beloved—uh, beloved demon—by his side, his thoughts drifting far, contemplating the past, present, and future of humans—no, monsters.

"Wang Wu."

"What's wrong?" Wang Wu replied.

"Wang Wu."

"What's wrong?" Wang Wu turned his head toward Wu Er Niang.

"Wang Wu…"

In an instant, Wang Wu sprang up from the bed, looking around.

"Wang Wu—"

The voice sounded again, and Wang Wu's eyes grew intensely solemn at that moment.

At that moment, the three female demons each rose, glancing around and at the people nearby.

Finally, they all turned their gaze toward Wang Wu.

"Someone's voice is calling me."

The four demons each uttered the same sentence, and in an instant their faces turned extremely grim.

At that moment, an extremely sharp roar sounded at everyone's ears, as if right beside them. The sound was huge, nearly piercing their eardrums:

"Wang Wu!!!!!!!"
