Ch 143: The Demon Race’s Plot!
That shouldn’t be right. There’s a 90% probability that this woman was the one who was tailing him a short while ago.
Either Du Feng and this woman’s relationship is extremely well-hidden, unknown to others, or he’s mistaken, and Du Feng isn’t the mastermind behind the people tailing him.
He still thinks it’s more likely that this woman is related to Du Feng. Given Du Feng’s strength and influence, his scheming is definitely not as simple as it appears.
Lu Qing’an looked at Zhen Yongfu and said, “I need to go see my Master first, and then I have to go to the Alchemist Guild. You can cultivate in Liuguang Hall first, and I’ll send you a voice transmission when I find you. Don’t get busy chatting this time.”
Zhen Yongfu scratched his head in embarrassment, “I won’t this time.”
So the two went their separate ways. Lu Qing’an first sent a message to Du Feng. After confirming that Du Feng was free, he flew towards where Du Feng was.
At the same time, in a Grand Hall near the Xianjian Sect’s High-Level Life Extension Secret Realm entrance.
Du Feng put away the Voice Transmission Jade Slip, then picked up an Intelligence Jade Slip from a subordinate on the table, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
“Demons appeared near the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, but by the time others arrived, the Demons were gone, leaving only the corpse of a Peak Liuli Realm Demon? And this corpse was coincidentally discovered by Xu Qingying’s team?”
As soon as the intelligence from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave was sent back to the Sect, he received the first-hand information, and he couldn’t help but connect this to his newly accepted disciple, Wu Ciren.
Because his disciple and Zhen Yongfu’s task was to go there, and not long after arriving, this happened. Everything was so coincidental.
“Is there a hidden connection? But given their strength, there shouldn’t be a connection.”
Du Feng shook his head secretly. His subordinates had already gone to investigate. Judging from the battle traces, there had been a fierce battle involving at least one Saint Spirit Realm Expert, possibly more. Coupled with the disappearance of five Liuli Realm disciples a short time ago, it’s almost certain that one or two Saint Spirit Realm Demons appeared there.
Xu Qingying and his disciples couldn’t possibly have participated in a battle at the Saint Spirit Realm level.
The strength gap is too great.
Although his disciple Wu Ciren is quite mysterious, his strength is only at Peak Xuanguang Realm.
“Regardless, their luck is excellent; they instantly gained over a thousand Contribution Points.” Du Feng shook his head and smiled, then looked at a black figure beside him: “Pass the order, continue to increase the search efforts for Demons near Wangxu City.”
The figure was extremely tall and burly. After hearing the order, he nodded, then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
This person also possesses Saint Spirit Realm strength.
“Demons have appeared within our Xianjian Sect’s territory. This is a serious matter. It seems there’s something in the vicinity that the Demons are willing to risk their lives to obtain.”
“And the Search Demon Formation mentioned by Bai Lu, that Eighth-Rank Formation Master, Old Master Long, is there really a chance he deployed it? If we really have the Search Demon Formation, then my name, Du Feng, will surely resound throughout the entire Immortal Realm.”
Du Feng had just finished muttering when he shifted his gaze to outside the Grand Hall.
At this time, outside the hall, Lu Qing’an flew in from a distance.
From afar, Lu Qing’an saw the Secret Realm Entrance hovering high in the air.
Several strong individuals were guarding it. Although the strength and defensive capabilities of the guards were slightly inferior to the Longevity Pool, the Shouhuan Secret Realm is located on top of the Xianjian Sect Main Peak, and this place is not far from the Sect Leader’s Hall. If an enemy attacks, the Sect Leader can arrive instantly and eliminate them.
“I’ll get in there sooner or later,” Lu Qing’an thought to himself, then floated down towards the majestic Grand Hall.
“Disciple, what is it you seek?” As soon as Lu Qing’an landed, he saw Du Feng smiling and standing with his hands behind his back.
“Master, I have something I wish to ask.”
Lu Qing’an immediately switched to disciple mode, a smile on his lips, his gaze fixed on Du Feng.
His purpose in coming here was mainly to talk to Du Feng and see if he could stop sending people to follow him, as it would affect his efficiency.
For example, he would soon change his mask, go to the Alchemist Guild to seek out Murong Yinxue, buy a large amount of Immortal Medicine, and then go to Liuguang Hall for seclusion to cultivate.
After all, this seclusion would take quite some time. He needed to prepare enough Immortal Medicine for the Black Dragon so that it wouldn’t be bored.
So that it could happily burn Immortal Medicine every day and not waste precious time.
Secondly, he also hoped to find out from Du Feng the reason why Demons appeared near Wangxu City.
He would find the answers from those Demons later, but if he could know some information in advance, he could be more efficient during interrogation.
He didn’t know yet whether these Demons were also stubborn.
Anyway, he had interrogated Rage Demons before, and it left some shadows on him. The Nu Mo Clan is really loyal and stubborn.
“What do you wish to ask?” Du Feng led Lu Qing’an to a large stone beside the Grand Hall, sat down casually, and gestured for Lu Qing’an to sit beside him.
Lu Qing’an also sat down without paying attention to his image. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel refreshed. Sitting here, he could overlook the entire Wangxu City, taking in the magnificent scenery, as if the vast landscape was in his hands.
“Not long ago, I just returned from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave with Yongfu and the others, and we discovered that Demons appeared there. Demons appearing near the Xianjian Sect really startled me. Has this ever happened before?”
Demons appearing in small towns and cities some distance from the Xianjian Sect is understandable, but this is the first time they have appeared in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, which is not far from the Xianjian Sect.
Of course, only he and Zhen Yongfu knew that Demons had been hidden in Wangxu City for a long time.
If this were to spread, the entire Xianjian Sect would surely be shaken.
However, after this news spreads today, the Xianjian Sect will surely conduct a thorough investigation of Wangxu City, and the Demons hiding in the Wang Family will dare not act rashly.
Du Feng shook his head lightly: “This is the first time in many years.”
“Master, do you know why they appeared here? Is there some conspiracy? Or is there something they desire within the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?”
Lu Qing’an put on his best acting skills, pretending to be an ignorant newbie.
Seeing his concern, Du Feng smiled: “You seem very interested in the Demons.”
Lu Qing’an nodded heavily, his expression resolute: “I came from Panlong City and witnessed the cruelty of the Demons. They are like beasts, treating our Human Race as food! A friend of mine from the Mortal Realm disappeared in Panlong City, and it is most likely that they were eaten by Demons! I came to the Xianjian Sect because I heard that the Xianjian Sect takes Demon Extermination as its responsibility!”
“The appearance of these Demons is indeed unusual. If I’m not mistaken, there must be something they need here in Wangxu City. More Demons may appear here.”
Du Feng shared his speculation. Since Lu Qing’an was curious, he would tell him more to strengthen their Master and Disciple relationship.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’an became even more certain.
He guessed that the Demons’ appearance here had some kind of plan; either a grand conspiracy, or there’s something the Demons particularly want here.
It’s even possible that, like in Panlong City, there’s a base of the Vast Life Array here, sealing a powerful Demon.
Perhaps even stronger than the Black Dragon was back then.
And the Black Dragon was a Universe Realm Peak Expert.
If there really is a sealed strong person here, it could be the highest realm in the Immortal Realm, a Dao Saint Realm Expert!
