Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 261 Tiger Hunting
With the division of labor among the three Shenzang realm masters, the people below also chose their own direction according to the pace of the three big guys.

The Demon-Slaying Division, which is headed by Senior Brother Wu, has always focused on slaying demons and eliminating evil.

Most of these combat monks chose to explore Pingmo Mountain as their direction and gather intelligence on the monsters in the area.

In addition, there are the temple priests who are in charge of Master Yu.

In addition to the priests who are responsible for boosting morale and organizing programs, there is the judges who are the most feared by everyone.

The Department of Judges also focused on fighting, but all of their methods were more oriented toward targeting people.

It is their job to check water meters at homes and arrest wanted criminals.

Master Yu, a monk who had worked his way up from outside the domain, was well versed in human nature and had his own means. With the help of the temple's team, he had developed a number of talents.

Now he is leading this group of talents into Tiger Town to investigate the situation of local practitioners.

Be ready to take down one or a group of them as needed.

At last.

After Shen Ningxiang joined the An Ning Society, Chen Jing handed over the Mana Forest and the Yun Tui Guan system to her for management.

Mainly responsible for diplomacy and foreign trade.

The people under her have a clear purpose, which is to find people from all walks of life in Tiger Town, improve their reputation, gain favor, etc., and use peaceful means to achieve their goals.

This operation is also known as "tiger hunting".

……

Outside Pingmo Mountain.

Ye Fan's figure appeared here.

He originally thought that after coming to the underworld, he would have to face many monsters and demons.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, this place is even more stable than Suizhou.

For the first time ever, they started to fight, but they were still defeated.

But he likes it.

If you fight on your own territory, even if you win, you will suffer various losses. On the contrary, if you fight outside, you can let your hands and feet go freely.

"Follow me closely. All my spells will be greatly reduced when cast in the lower realm. However, I have the cultivation level of the Mysterious Seal Stage. If you follow me, you can restore some of the power of my spells."

Lin Fan turned around and spoke to the three people behind him.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye. This isn't our first mission."

A baby-faced man laughed.

"Be more careful than before. If you die in Anning Mansion, Lord Chen will give your family a large sum of money. But here, your death will be in vain. We all signed up voluntarily." Lin Fan reminded him again and again.

"understand!"

The three of them nodded together.

At this time.

The woman who was fiddling with the talisman array on the ground raised her head and said, "As expected, this is the magic talisman array technique I got from the outer sect. It has increased the precise detection range of my spiritual sense by one mile, and it is even more concealed. I touched the side of a third-level monster, and the monster didn't even notice it."

"Of course not. Just this talisman array costs one hundred spirit stones... oh no, it's spirit notes now. A full one hundred spirit notes are needed to buy the materials."

The male monk who had remained silent said.

"I can make my money back by killing a second-level monster, and the talisman formation can be used many times." The female monk said happily.

"Xiao Nan is right. We can save on everything except the detection array."

Ye Fan smiled.

The female monk continued to use the talisman array to amplify her spiritual awareness.

After a while.

"We didn't find any monsters, only a group of monsters, including one level three and five level two monsters. Brother Ye, do you want to go?" Xiao Nan asked.

"go."

Ye Fan said without hesitation.

Although they receive subsidies from the government when they work, the real big payout comes from the monsters themselves.

Selling a second-level monster can bring in nearly a hundred spirit stones. If you sell one every day, you can make three thousand a month, which is a very good income for an individual.

But Ye Fan is the team leader after all, and he can't let go of any fish, big or small, otherwise it would be better for him to go it alone.

The four of them arrived at the detected location and began to examine the monster.

Monsters and demons are two different things.

The demons are actually no different from humans. They are born with seven orifices, have wisdom, and have civilization and heritage.

Monsters are simply powerful wild beasts, without any senses or abilities, only relying on instinct.

Although some monsters and beasts, through acquired opportunities, open up their seven orifices and gain wisdom, and open up their nine orifices and gain supernatural powers, thus transforming from beasts into monsters.

But the offspring born by this kind of monsters are still beasts without any sense of hearing.

Without a stable path of inheritance and without the accumulation of the tribe over the years, civilization cannot be derived. Even if it claims to be a certain monster, it is actually still a beast, not a monster.

“See those trees?”

Ye Fan carefully pointed out the direction with his spiritual sense.

"Treeyad?"

"No, it's the vines on the tree. There's a kind of insect monster that wraps around the tree like a vine."

"Most of the monsters in the lower world are insects." Several flying swords quietly rose beside Ye Fan, "Suppress the fire, I will break its weak points!"

The flying sword cut through the air, whistling sharply as it flew past, cutting down trees as thick as human waists.

The insect demon entangled in the tree immediately twisted.

For a moment, the whole forest was filled with the dancing of insects, and high-frequency hissing sounds were heard.

At the same time, there were noises coming from behind.

The female monk threw out several talismans, which turned into a talisman formation that sealed off the four directions and generated a force to suppress and destroy evil.

The male monk scooped up a ball of fire.

The flame spread out and immediately turned into a fire-shaped beast that ran around, igniting the body of the insect demon and biting it.

The baby-faced monk carefully looked around to prevent any unexpected situations.

Even though the insect monsters had the advantage in numbers and paper quality, they were unable to fight back due to the sophisticated coordination of their magic spells and were soon beaten to death.

Just finished here.

Ye Fan received the message.

"Old Ye, did you get any information?"

"What information do you have in the deep mountains and old forests? I just came in and killed a group of monsters. You can help me find out if this vine-like monster is valuable. I have never seen anything like it in Suizhou."

"Okay, no problem. By the way, I have some information. Do you know why Tiger Town is called Tiger Town?"

“Because there’s a big tiger living there?”

"That's right. There are two tigers. There is a tiger in Tiger Town, and there is a big monster with a tiger attribute outside the Demon Screen Mountain. Go in and kill the monsters slowly..."

"I've got that in mind. Thank you. Is your preaching going well over there?" Ye Fan said.

"The people here are extremely vigilant, and the inheritance method is surprisingly difficult to pass on."

The other party said helplessly.

Ye Fan said: "Even if it is a scam, there will be people who take the risk. There is only one possibility that the method cannot be passed on, and that is that it has been obstructed."

"uh-huh."

The other party affirmed and said, "There is a big family in Tiger Town, no, it should be called a gang, the Fierce Tiger Gang. They violently control almost all ways of making money in the town. All the people have to look up to others to make a living. If there were no monsters to hunt in Pingmo Mountain and the monks were not controlled by the Fierce Tiger Gang, this broken place would have no hope at all."

"Doesn't the sect here care?"

"Not at all. I thought the Qing Nang Sect had already stopped caring about things, but now I realize that compared to the Xiong Hu Gang, the wealthy families on our side are not unfair to say that they are fair and just. It can't be explained in a few words. In short, it's shocking."

"..."

"Okay, let's stop here."

Ended the call.

Yun Tui Guan, who had contacted Ye Fan, muttered, "It's so fast. They killed a nest of monsters. I have to work faster. Tell the Judge about that bastard who has been obstructing my preaching."

……late at night.

Tiger Town Center.

The top leaders of the Fierce Tiger Gang were holding a meeting. A group of monks dressed in very evil clothes gathered under the dim light, their shadows shaking with the candlelight.

"I think everyone knows about the Peace Society that suddenly appeared near us."

"It's such a big event, everyone knows about it."

"What are your thoughts? Tell me."

The leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang was wearing a purple tiger-patterned robe, with broad shoulders and a strong body, like a giant beast lying dormant.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the first person on his right.

"What do you think, Second Boss?"

"In my opinion, we should report it to the sect and let the immortals from the Black Sand Mansion and even the White Bone Sect take a look at the situation here." The second gang leader said in a sinister voice.

"The upper sect may not be unaware of the An Ning Society, but since they haven't taken any action, they are probably unreliable. Let's talk about the practical matters. Surrender or flee?"

The third person in line snorted and said while crossing his legs.

"Let's run away. The Bone Road is far away and they don't bother to care about us. But the Peace Society is nearby, so it's better to stay away from them. Before we leave, we can sacrifice the blood of these people to make up for the loss."

"Then you might as well surrender. The An Ning Society came here just because they have their eyes on the people of this town. You have made a blood sacrifice, and we will definitely hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

"Everyone, the An Ning Society came to bully us, but no one dared to fight them?"

"Huh? Fight? That woman with the fourth realm of cultivation came to my house today, but I didn't see you having such a guts."

"I don't hit women!"

There was a lot of quarrel.

As the snort of the Tiger Gang leader finally stopped, he looked at his confidant.

The confidant immediately said, "In my opinion, we should surrender."

"Oh?"

"My Xionghu Gang has been operating here for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation. We pay tribute to the Black Sand Mansion and the Anning Mansion. Since the Black Sand Mansion and the White Bone Sect don't care about us, we are just changing the boss."

The confidant said immediately.

The leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang said, "Well... you can surrender, but the inheritance method cannot be passed down in Tiger Town. Who will negotiate with the envoy of the Peace Society tomorrow?"

Everyone understood what the gang leader meant and stopped discussing the previous trivial matters.

but.

Suddenly.

The originally dark space was suddenly illuminated by the light from outside the window.

Everyone looked immediately and saw lotus flowers in full bloom, paving out a holy road, and a figure slowly descending from the holy light.

A refreshing fragrance comes.

Shen Ningxiang raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Everyone, it seems that you have finished discussing it?"

"you……"

"Since you have agreed to surrender, you are considered a member of the Peace Society. According to the laws of the Peace Society, you... don't deserve to live."

The last word was uttered.

She stretched out her hand and thousands of stars appeared behind her.

The top leaders of the Xionghu Gang were shocked to find that the luxurious courtyard they were in was wrapped in a huge white lotus, and Shen Ningxiang in front of them was holding up the lotus and standing thousands of feet in the sky.

One of the deputy gang leaders spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body turned into blood light and fled at an astonishing speed.

Available soon.

Above the nine heavens, under the fierce gale, the blood light quickly faded.

Immediately afterwards, the man's body was revealed and blown away by the strong wind.

"I've heard that the cultivators in the lower realms have first-rate escaping skills. It's worth it that I specially invited you to the Gangfeng Layer to be punished."

Without the fourth realm of cultivation, one cannot withstand the strong wind.

Because the wind in the Gangfeng layer comes from the ninth heaven above Shenzhou, ordinary spiritual power and matter will be dispersed by the wind.

"No, let's surrender!"

"I am willing to sign a soul contract and be a slave for a hundred years!"

"I have done nothing evil, I am innocent!"

Everyone immediately shouted and used various means to save their lives.

But all this was in vain in front of Shen Ningxiang, who was in the Dharmakāya stage. She stood in the strong wind layer with her long black hair dancing.

"The Peace Society has already investigated your actions and will definitely not let you go. Be a good person in your next life."

She reached out and plucked the lotus. Without the protection of the white lotus, the remaining leaders of the Fierce Tiger Gang were blown into fine sand one by one.

However, the storage magic tools were intentionally preserved by Shen Ningxiang, but she did not open them to look. Even through the storage magic tools, she could sense the resentment and bloodiness inside.

I don't know what kind of filthy things are stored there.

The top leaders of the Xionghu Gang have been dealt with here.

Fighting also broke out below.

The judges had sneaked into various places in Tiger Town early on, keeping an eye on the thugs of the Tiger Gang one by one.

"Robbering people's property, taking human lives, using human blood and bones to refine magic weapons, damn it, I can't believe that this is something that a mere Soul Condensation Realm dares to do in broad daylight."

"If we don't allow this cultivator to kill people, the monsters will eat them. The people in the lower realms have been like this since they were born. The cultivators kill only a small number of people..."

"I don't care. Let it live a little longer. It's bad luck for the beast to meet us."

Not long after.

The signal to act sounded.

The group of priests of judgment used their own methods, starting with a set of spiritual magic that affected the mind, and then a set of zero-cost magic. Because they did not need to capture anyone alive, they showed no mercy when they attacked.

When the light of the magic faded, it was discovered that the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were dead.

"Damn it, he's so weak. I prepared so many tricks, but I didn't use any of them."

"After all, he is just a coward who bullies ordinary people. How capable can he be?"

The priests of judgment hung his body on the most conspicuous and tallest tree in the village, and looked back before leaving.

In the houses hidden in the darkness, behind the quietly opened windows and doors, are pairs of relieved, tearful eyes.

"Let's go. The brothers from the Mana Forest will be here soon to clean up the mess."

"Ah."

The priests rushed to the next location.

Shortly after the judging priest left, some brave people came over to take a look, and soon after, the villagers rushed over to whip the corpse.

The next morning.

The cloud officials of the Mana Forest rushed here.

They descended from the sky on little paper cranes, and the magic spells to calm the inner demons were contained in their voices, soothing the emotions of the villagers.

Then, while taking out the eggs, he educated the villagers about the upcoming Tranquility Meeting.

After a while of popular science, eggs are distributed in a circle, and then random questions are asked. Those who answer correctly will get an extra egg.

Whether these people believe it or not, the name of An Ning Society and Chen Jing have spread throughout Hu Town.

Gu Xingqiu and his disciples watched everything the whole time.

His disciple asked, "Master, this An Ning Society is really remarkable. They investigated for three days and took action in one night. Such a big town changed its owner in an instant."

Gu Xingqiu nodded: "At first, it was within my expectation. The leader of the Tiger Gang was killed. However, the follow-up was indeed unexpected... The disciples of An Ning Society have an orderly division of labor. Some killed the leader, some eliminated the remaining gang members, and some cleaned up the aftermath. Each of them has their own methods and they are all in an orderly manner, just like refining elixirs and making talismans. There is no chaos at all. It is enough to show that the people of An Ning Society are united and talented."

"Yes, I thought about what the people in our sect would do. I guess they are already looting, burning, killing, and taking people to refine treasures in the chaos." The disciple sighed.

Gu Xingqiu stroked his beard and said expectantly.

"This matter is not over yet. There are two tigers in Tiger Town. The Fierce Tiger Gang is just a cat disguised as a tiger. It is not difficult to get rid of it. Let's see what skills An Ning can show against the tiger outside the Demon Screening Mountain."
