Chapter 161: Chapter 14: Divine Farmer Bureau, Demon Shedding Technique (2-in-1)_2

The so-called "herding demons and straightening out the order," sounds elegant, but its true meaning is to enslave all the Demon Race under heaven, establishing a hierarchy with humans at the top.

In the view of the Divine Farmer Bureau, it’s that those who are not of our kind must have different minds.

No matter if you are a good demon or a bad demon, as long as you are a demon, then you are equivalent to a beast, and they will slaughter an entire Demon Race settlement without hesitation.

However, the Divine Farmer Bureau enjoys one of the best reputations among cultivators.

Because if one strips away the Demon Race aspect, the people of the Divine Farmer Bureau are upright and good-hearted individuals; naturally, to uphold human supremacy, there must be a point of "respect," and all matters concerning human conduct are meticulously adhered to.

And for the most part, the newly awakened Demon Race indeed finds it hard to control their emotions and desires, often treating the Human Race as food.

Or, when in a state of confusion, they are hunted down by the Divine Farmer Bureau, filled with hatred towards the Human Race.

The Divine Farmer Bureau often indeed plays the part of justice.

If one considers hunting demon fiends, the first thought goes to the Divine Farmer Bureau.

"Today at dawn, when yang energy is at its peak, is the best time to suppress the strength of demon fiends. I request everyone to prepare early and join me in subduing this Ancient Great Demon Fiend."

Shen Xingzhu nodded and said indifferently.

The elderly man in blue robes, the "Rain Master," inquired, "Hiss... Fellow Daoist Shen, please forgive my impertinence, but are you truly sure that under the Liang Imperial City, it’s that Eternal Self Moon Demon being suppressed?"

"It’s not that I’m questioning the Earth Spirit True Monarch, it’s just that this Ancient Great Demon hasn’t been heard of for nearly ten thousand years and hasn’t shown any traces. And now it’s actually buried underground here, it’s hard not to find it baffling..."

"Could it be other demons disguising or closely resembling it?"

Shen Xingzhu’s eyes grew more solemn: "Senior, no need to be anxious."

She landed on the adjacent mountaintop, squinting her eyes to gaze at the riverside: "By dawn, the truth will naturally be revealed, let’s wait a bit."

The "Millet Man," holding his grains, looked at the riverside in surprise, his pupils suddenly constricting:

"That is...?!"

Both the "Rain Master" and "Wind Marquis" looked over, only to see a plain-looking, dark boy stepping off the waves on the river.

The aura emanating from him was as unfathomable as an abyss, causing the waves on the river to instantly freeze.

Suddenly, the entire world seemed as if only this dark boy remained.

Or rather... it was behind him—the

Martial Saint!

...

Shen Meinan stumbled behind the two brothers, Shen Liangcai and Shen Liangce, his gaze blank for a long time before coming to his senses.

"Troubling you both."

Chen Kuang bowed to the two brothers of the Jiangning Shen Family.

The two brothers immediately returned the salute.

Meanwhile, Shen Meinan instantly snapped out of it, eyes widening, covering his mouth in disbelief, his cheeks turning beet red as if about to steam.

He he he... he really...

Shen Meinan covered his mouth, tentatively sticking his tongue out to lick his lips, emitting strange sounds.

Luckily, he was able to control the volume and did not draw attention from others.

On the other side.

Shen Liangcai took out an exquisite little box from his sleeve, solemnly saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for escorting our young lady all the way."

"This Mermaid’s Tears is a top-grade item I acquired from a demon beast trader a few days ago. Whether used to refine miraculous Spiritual Treasures, perform some unconventional magic, or grind into powder to make an Elixir, it is an excellent auxiliary material, truly invaluable."

Chen Kuang did not take it but looked at Shen Liangcai with a playful smile:

"Is it your Shen Family thanking me, or is it you thanking me?"

Shen Liangcai smiled: "Of course it’s both. This Mermaid’s Tears is on behalf of the family, and only the family can afford such grand gestures."

"For us small households, all we can afford is the box to hold the Mermaid’s Tears, I hope Mr. Chen doesn’t mind."

Box?

The tone of Shen Liangcai clearly hinted at something.

Chen Kuang squinted, looking at the exquisite little box in his hand.

The "Through Fire Insight," which hadn’t been triggered for a long time, was suddenly activated.

Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow.

The box has some trickery?

In his vision, the box was indeed not simple.

At the base of the box, there was a hidden compartment, and inside it seemed to be densely filled with tiny words.

Chen Kuang mentally read the first line.

Demon Shedding Technique...

Chen Kuang glanced down a couple of lines, his pupils immediately contracting, recognizing the extraordinary nature of this item.

He took a deep breath and looked at Shen Liangcai: "This box is a bit too precious, aren’t you afraid of losing it?"

Shen Liangcai replied: "Of course not, what’s truly valuable is rare indeed. Moreover, this box is rarely used by anyone, and no one dares to use it. Now that Mr. Chen has it, at last, it finds its purpose."

"I used to travel and trade extensively with demon beast traders from various remote places, whether near the Northern Plains or the Southern Barbarian Netherland, these traders often have to engage with various Demon Race."

Demon beasts are essentially Demon Race with their intelligence just awakening.

For many Demon Race, they are half their kin, but some Demon Race are naturally proud and view demon beasts like humans view monkeys or apes.

Most demon beast traders indeed contact the Demon Race, and usually, it’s not particularly friendly, while on the contrary, demon beasts and Demon Race naturally become very close in such situations with a common enemy.

And between Demon Race and demon beasts, there are unique ways to identify their identities.

Therefore, a small number of demon beast traders somehow came up with a very sinister Secret Technique.

They used the remains of Demon Race, along with the Curse Technique of the Southern Barbarian Blood Calamity Sect, melding souls and flesh to create entities similar to puppets.

The exterior aura of these puppets is entirely Demon Race, but internally they remain human and cannot use Demon Race abilities.

It’s merely a human wearing a Demon Race skin.

This method is known as the Demon Shedding Technique.

These demon beast traders would have Demon Shedding Puppets pretend to be Demon Race and approach demon beasts, lure them into traps, then capture them all.

But over time, a few demon beast traders took another step further.

They figured out how to convert humans... into demons. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

However, the Demon Shedding Technique in this box contains only the most basic form.

The consciousness and flesh of a Demon Shedding Puppet are connected to its master, even serving as a spare body.

When the master’s body dies, it can directly revive in the Demon Shedding Puppet.

Almost akin to reincarnation.

It seems beautiful, but the greatest disadvantage of this technique is already stated on the surface, which is that after reincarnation, one becomes almost truly part of the Demon Race.

And worse still, if the conjured body’s talents are insufficient, one could be trapped forever.

Hence, these demon beast traders generally have their underlings do the Demon Shedding.

"This box, although scarce, can be considered a very rare item."

"Hardly anyone in the world knows there is such craftsmanship, paired with this Mermaid’s Tears, giving it to you, Mr. Chen, seems quite fitting."

Shen Liangcai extended the box again, emphasizing slowly:

"Mr. Chen, this Mermaid’s Tears is an excellent auxiliary material."

Chen Kuang reach out and took it, sighed: "The two of you are really attentive."

Shen Liangcai and Shen Liangce exchanged glances: "You’re too kind, we just hope Mr. Chen can make good use of it."

Chen Kuang nodded: "Naturally."

Shen Liangcai added: "Additionally, there’s one piece of news offered."

Chen Kuang asked: "What news?"

Shen Liangcai’s expression turned solemn: "Recently, someone climbed the Dao Transmission Stele of Tai Mountain, but suspiciously did not attain enlightenment, instead was summoned to meet the Martial Saint."

"After leaving the Martial Saint Pavilion, they made their way south, entering Yang Kingdom territory, and now, they should be near the Liangyang border."

What is meant to come will indeed come...

No wonder the two brothers gave me this Demon Shedding Technique.

Chen Kuang took a deep breath: "Understood."

He secured the box, bid farewell to the brothers and the reluctant Shen Meinan, and returned to the ship.

Looking at Wen Si, Chen Kuang asked: "Senior brother, what is the ’Dao Realm’?"
