Actually, Asmodeaus stopped. What was his ultimate goal? Not to destroy a single estate, but to destroy everything. Or rather than destroy, leave it in a state better than it was before he met it. No matter what that state may be. From the ultimate good comes ultimate evil, or so they say.

So Asmodeaus was apprehensive about blood-washing the Dongfeng Estate. Wouldn't people notice? It's fine if just a few stragglers are taken away but if someone important goes missing problems will naturally arise promptly.

It's worth noting that ultimate evil doesn't breed ultimate good; evil only breeds more evil. To breed good you need kindness, and Asmodeaus' kindness was running very thin these days. But is it a bad thing to breed evil?

So Asmodeaus got Dogleg 1 and Dogleg 2 to call the unpopular maids and attendants in the manor to his building. Then he used Blood Nerve to drain them of their cultivation and enhanced his own level. In just two days Quebai raised himself from the 3rd Qi Condensation realm to 5th Qi Condensation realm. However, this was accompanied by a large number of missing servants and skeletons 3 feet deep in the ground outside.

Asmodeaus decided to switch his targets to the entire city, lest he be discovered.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

So he took Dogleg 1 and Dogleg 2 and decided to go for a stroll. Asmodeaus came upon a girl with a sign saying "selling body to bury father" around her neck. There were people around shouting "10 teals of silver"

"20 teals!"

"30 teals."

The most prominent were a fat businessman and a young master from the Qing family. The Qing family was one of the three families of Blackiron town, like the Dongfeng family, but they majored in weaponsmithing instead of the Dongfeng families' herbal business.

Quebai(Asmodeaus) came up and said "70 teals."

There was a silence. Why skip 40 teals? What a waste of silver. Of course, they didn't know that Dongfeng Quebai had no intention of paying it off from the start. He just wanted to win the impromtéu auction.

The Qing family young master slanted his mouth "Why, isn't this Young Master Dongfeng, to what do we owe the pleasure?"

Asmodeaus lifted his eyebrow and looked at Dogleg 1 encouragingly.

Dogleg 1 said "What thing are you to question our young master? Go back to whence you came, foul beast."

Young master Qing's face twitched "80 teals." He said.

"90 teals!"

"100 teals."

"150 teals."

There was a silence. Buying a girl for 150 teals was too much, even if she is slightly pretty. She could even look better if she wasn't in rags.

So Dongfeng Quebai(Asmodeaus) won the bidding. He took the girl around a corner and tore her heart out of her chest and ate it then and there.

"Not a virgin? Hmm"

"She should only have had one lover though, as her heart still has a certain purity."

"My heart-eating virgin detection skills are top notch, there's no mistake."
