The Matter On Hand

"You're too kind, City Lord. I'm just a small cultivator. I'm far from being worthy of the title Immortal Master," said Chu Feng.

"Haha, you are indeed humble. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go in and talk. To be honest, Immortal Master, there are already many fellow Daoists waiting inside," the City Lord said.

With that, he welcomed Chu Feng with a big hand and brought him into the manor.

Arriving at the living room, invisible gazes shot towards Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked up.

Most of them were older cultivators.

They were probably lone cultivators, but he did not know why they were here.

The City Lord brought Chu Feng to the front and introduced him to everyone, "This is the Immortal Master sent by the Star Luo Sect. With the addition of the Immortal Master, there will be enough powerhouses to protect the tens of thousands of people in Yuehua City!"

Before they came, everyone was dissatisfied with the cultivators sent by the Star Luo Sect.

However, no one dared to say anything when Chu Feng was right in front of him.

The biggest difference between sect disciples and lone cultivators was legacy.

Sect disciples relied on the inheritance of the sect and possessed even more perfect Dao Techniques, cultivation techniques, cultivation resources, and so on and so forth.

These were not things that lone cultivators could compare with.

Just like the lecherous demon Chu Feng had encountered before, he was also a lone cultivator.

Therefore, even though his strength was one realm higher than Chu Feng's, he couldn't block Chu Feng's Dao Technique at all. In the end, he was miserably killed!

But even with such a huge gap, the people below were still unhappy. After all, Chu Feng was a half-grown child.

If they gave in to his status, where would they put their face?

Hence, the atmosphere turned tense.

The people below didn't speak, and Chu Feng naturally didn't speak either.

The City Lord coughed awkwardly.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to trouble all of you for your help this time. Yuehua City has met with a great catastrophe. With our strength, we can't resolve it at all!" The City Lord sighed and said.

"City Lord, what's the matter? We're here to settle it for you." Someone asked.

The City Lord sighed again and said, "To be honest, from the first day of this month until now, hundreds of people have gone missing for no reason."

"I have sent a large number of people to search for it. In the end, I only found a corpse with a monstrous demonic aura. When I brought the corpse for examination, I immediately concluded that a demon had invaded, so I increased the search."

"In the end, I managed to corner the demon, but the demon wasn't weak. My subordinates couldn't stop him at all. If he hadn't left in a hurry, I would have died under his hands!"

After saying that, the City Lord sighed.

"That damned Demon Sect thief! With so many fellow Daoists here, we'll definitely kill him!"

"That's right. City Lord, please rest assured. If that demon dares to appear, we will definitely tear him into pieces!"

"This is insane. He actually attacked an ordinary person who couldn't even fight back!"

…

The people below were all filled with righteous indignation and wished they could stab the demon to death immediately.

But Chu Feng didn't join in. Instead, he thought of the key point and asked, "Is the corpse that was killed by the demon still here?"

To get more information, corpses were usually the most useful.

Chu Feng had already understood this point through countless life and death battles.

The City Lord nodded. With a wave of his hand, a few guards brought the corpses up.

After placing it in the main hall, Chu Feng stepped forward and pulled open the white cloth.

Instantly, a thick stench wafted out.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses.

Chu Feng didn't mind. He used his hands to examine the wounds on the corpses and the demonic aura that pervaded the air.

There were many wounds on the body, covering nearly the entire body.

However, none of them were fatal. He had clearly bled to death!

What a cruel method to kill.

It seemed like this demon's cultivation technique was related to blood.

After a simple analysis, Chu Feng grasped some crucial clues.

Everyone looked at Chu Feng seriously and couldn't help but ask, "Did this little brother see anything?"

Chu Feng didn't raise his head and continued to examine the corpse. He casually said, "This person must have died from blood loss. There are 185 wounds on his body, and the attacks have accurately cut the 108 blood vessels in the victim's body. The victim's blood was completely drained."

Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"How cruel!"

"I can't imagine how vicious this demon is!"

"Damn Demon Sect. It's one thing to kill people, but they have actually used such a cruel method to kill."

…

Chu Feng nodded without saying anything.

Everyone quickly joined forces against a common enemy and began to prepare for a large-scale search throughout the city.

Chu Feng didn't join them.

The City Lord had already said a few times that he couldn't find anyone in the entire city.

This was obvious.

One possibility was that the demon wasn't in the city, but this was obviously impossible. Even Chu Feng couldn't capture and bring hundreds of people out of the city without making a sound.

The other possibility was that there were demons in the search team. This was very possible.

Demons were crafty and this was very possible.

But now that he had no evidence, the best thing to do was to wait.

Since that demon committed crimes in this way, he must have some ulterior motive.

Naturally, he could not let go so easily. Therefore, the best solution now was to wait!

At the thought of this, Chu Feng went into the mirror world in the room arranged by the City Lord and continued his challenge.

At this moment, he had to desperately increase his strength.

This time, his luck wasn't bad. Chu Feng had successfully challenged Ding Yifeng and obtained the Greater Mastery stage Wind Blade and the Dao Technique he was proficient in, Violent Wind Dance.

The two Dao techniques were very powerful, but it was not suitable for him to experiment with them now, so he could only give up.

As for the Ancient Wind Spirit Root Qi Cultivation Technique that Chu Feng couldn't forget, it was still not fated with Chu Feng!

This troubled him greatly.

…

The night gradually deepened.

As expected, the search party found nothing.

Many people were frowning and were all drinking in the hall.

Just as Chu Feng was about to continue challenging the mirror projections, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Chu Feng asked.

"Immortal Master, I am the City Lord of Yuehua City."

Chu Feng tidied himself up and opened the door.

Opening the door, it was indeed the City Lord.

"May I know why the City Lord is here?"

Chu Feng said.

"Sorry for disturbing you!" The City Lord said with a bitter expression, "I had a feeling that something big was going to happen tonight, so I wanted to ask you if you had any plans."

"Something big?" Chu Feng frowned slightly.

Then, he looked outside. His eyes were filled with spiritual energy.

At this moment, the pitch-black sky was filled with a demonic aura that was even denser than the daytime.

Furthermore, the area covered was even larger than that during the day. It had almost filled half of the city.

It seemed that tonight was the devil's home ground!

Chu Feng couldn't help but think.

"City Lord, your senses are sharp. If my guess is correct, there will definitely be unusual movements tonight!" Chu Feng said.

"Damn it!" The City Lord gritted his teeth and said, "What is this damned demon trying to do? Why did he choose this place? The citizens here are all innocent!!"

…
