In Morality City, in front of the Demon Suppression Monument at the southern gate.

"Venerable One, although this 'Devil Slaying Sword isn't as impressive as your Godly Sword, it's still a superb sword that had to be refined for months to complete. Please, accept it." Nie Yuan held out the sword in both hands and said respectfully.

Below him was the tough and sturdy man, Hu Fen.

"Don't fawn over someone without reason… no," Vigilante A glanced at the pitch-black Devil Slaying Sword and suddenly stopped, "don't get a reward if it's not deserved. What do you want?"

As expected, although this sword was far inferior to Vigilante A's precious sword, it had its own unique features. He was very interested in it.

Nie Yuan was overjoyed in his heart and his expression became more respectful. He bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "Venerable One, the people of the Upper Realm are becoming increasingly unbridled. They wantonly interfere with Earth's matters, and even forcefully collect vitality by glorifying it as increasing income and saving on spending. However, they're actually monopolizing it for those immortals and buddhas to enjoy in the future. This behavior is despicable and serious, and utterly shameless."

"Oh, is that so?" Vigilante A did not express an opinion.

Even without being told of the Upper Realm people's conduct, both Fang Ning and Sir System already learned about it from the Five Arhats from before.

"Indeed. If we don't plan ahead, it'll be too late to regret it when their power grows too large." Nie Yuan said seriously. He did not exaggerate anything; everything was stated from facts.

After two years of experience, he understood that truly wise men controlled the hearts of the people. It was not necessary to play tricks to control the situation. The reason why a certain brother always failed was that he was too skillful in playing with politics, but he ignored the people's situation.

"Hm, you sound like you already have a plan?" Vigilante A said.

Fang Ning was very surprised. This person used to be a person who only played petty tricks before. Who would have thought that he would become like this today and learn how to pull the strings from the back. He was definitely trying to achieve an ulterior motive.

However, he did not make the System stop the other party from promoting himself. After all, the System Maxim was there.

This person had never done any evil things that were too atrocious. He was just naturally indecisive and greedy for power. He first followed Elder Ancestor Bai, then took refuge with the Devil Lord, and then got involved with Cang Lang. He was a true 'Slave of Three Surnames'. 1 "

Now, he wanted to see what this little man was up to.

At this moment, Nie Yuan spoke, "The Elder Ancestor mentioned to me before that there are some cracks between this land and the Upper Realm, and he has a way to seal those cracks. If the Elder Ancestor is released I believe he'll definitely confine the people from the Upper Realm and prevent them from appearing frequently. At the very least, it'll make it harder for them to descend."

"Hiss…" Fang Ning sucked in a breath at his words. He now understood why Axiom Daddy wanted to keep this old demon…

Indeed, Heaven and Earth did not differentiate between good and evil, because evil people were equally useful.

As a wise man once said, evil was extremely hateful, but it could compel people to rouse to action in order to defend against degeneration.

He did not doubt Nie Yuan's words, because when he met with the River God of the Sky River before, he had already perfectly explained how good Elder Ancestor Bai was at trapping his fellow Upper Realm companions.

As the saying went, a transmigrator's greatest enemy was a transmigrator.

'He was the first to descend, and even though he had the advantage of starting first, it mustn't have been easy to build a foundation. However, he was suppressed by me. I'm guessing he must have had a thousand MMPs 2 in his heart.

'He definitely won't be willing to allow others to reap his peaches, so no matter what, this old demon will definitely help this world's Heavenly Axiom seal off the passage between Earth and the Upper Realm…'

"Mr. Rich Host, is what he said reliable?" Sir System hesitated.

It had no way of estimating the advantages and disadvantages of a huge situation like this. After all, it was previously just an idle game, not some kind of deep learning high-grade intelligence.

"It sounds reliable. However, there's a problem with the Earth's Heavenly Axiom itself. Will it be able to cooperate with that old demon?" Fang Ning said in concern.

The moment he finished speaking, his expression immediately changed. He waved a hand and the macaw and green-skinned frog appeared at once.

"Boss, Axiom Daddy told me to quickly agree to that person." The green-skinned frog hurriedly said.

"Yeah, he also told that to me." The macaw fluttered its wings and said, equally hurriedly.

"I see, thankfully Sir System didn't kill you back then." Fang Ning could not help but rejoice.

"Shut up, I couldn't have killed it anyway, alright? It had so many achievements and virtues. If I had killed it, how much Heavenly Merit Points would have been deducted?" The System said righteously.

"Oh, so that's it. You were just being miserly, but succeeded by a lucky stroke and ended up laying down the groundwork for the Heavenly Axiom's counterattack today." Fang Ning mused.

"Damn it, you're secretly scolding me again. A kind System really gets bullied by others. It's clear that I have great merits, okay?" The System felt very wronged.

"No, there was another reason. I told you not to act directly because I was worried about Cang Gongzi's face." Fang Ning immediately snatched the merit. This was related to his position in the Heavenly Axiom's thoughts.

"Hmph, whatever you say. I'm still the one with the greatest credit." The System said with force.

"Well, speaking of, if we want to release this old demon, we have to consider Xiao Cang's feelings as well. That'll be a little troublesome." Fang Ning scratched his cheek.

"You're so indecisive. What's the point of being overcautious? I saved the true spirits of all of Xiao Cang's family, wait, I think I missed one. It'll take some time and several rare items to recover back into the state of a soul, but there's always hope. Isn't that enough?" The System said disdainfully.

"Sigh, what do you know? Hate isn't something that you can let go off just by saying so. It depends on him. After all, his entire family was killed, so his hatred is as deep as the sea. Plus, he was saved by the son of his enemy. Gratitude and grudges tangled together, it's basically a palace drama." Fang Ning reprimanded.

The System did not know anything about the ways of the world at all, so how would it be able to understand that?

"I don't get it, just handle it. In any case, you better not let that old man out too long. After all, he'll definitely go against us." Sir System said shrewdly.

"Hm, I have an idea. Can you make a copy of the saddle you put on Tom the cat?" Fang Ning asked.

"Of course I can, but the other party has to be willing as well. After all, I'm a heroic System, not an evil god. I can't force others to put on shackles." The System explained.

"I know that already. Just hurry up and do it, stop wasting time." Fang Ning urged.

"Why're you so diligent today? That's weird…" The System said gloomily.

"Isn't it good that I'm diligent?" Fang Ning also became gloomy.

"I'm just worried that you're under a spell or something." The System said confidently.

"That's impossible and will never be possible, because I'll only stay in the System Space." Fang Ning said triumphantly.

"Shut up. When you were in the Land of Sanguinity, you were hit by that memory loss debuff…" The System sneered.

"Damn it, wasn't that your fault in the first place?" Fang Ning immediately grew furious when the System brought it up.

"Uh, I'm going to build a mousetrap now. Bye." The System backtracked and quickly escaped.

Fang Ning did not understand that retard. He returned to his body and said to Nie Yuan, "In that case, I'll give you a chance."

Nie Yuan was overjoyed at his words and could not help but look at the stone monument.

Under the monument, there was a faint figure that seemed to be excited.

After being suppressed by more than a year, he had thought that he would only be released after centuries.

Who would have thought that there was the hope of being released now? Even if Elder Ancestor Bai was extremely shrewd, there would definitely be something revealed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Venerable One. I'll definitely repay your actions in the future." Nie Yuan said earnestly.

"Wait, I still need to prepare some things to release him, so you go back first. Right, leave the sword behind." Fang Ning said.

"Understood. I'll look forward to hearing from you." Nie Yuan respectfully placed the sword on the ground and left without any hesitation.
