Chapter 1024 Golden Flower
At dawn, a thousand rays of golden light illuminated the city of Wanjiang.

Sun Changyue, who was actually Leng Tieya, arrived at Chengde Tower and strolled up to the second floor.

Chengde Tower is located in the center of Wanjiang City. The three-story building is twenty zhang high, like a giant bird about to spread its wings and take off.

The wine flags fluttering in the wind shimmered with golden light high in the sky, attracting passersby from all directions.

Leng Tieya found the first floor too noisy and chaotic, while the second floor was much quieter yet still lively.

The second floor requires a tea fee, which deters ordinary drinkers.

The tea fee could buy a pot of good wine, which they felt was not worth it.

Leng Tieya sat down at a table by the window. When the waiter greeted him with a smile, he casually ordered a few signature dishes and two jugs of wine.

As the delicious dishes were served, he sipped his wine and admired the scenery outside, looking completely relaxed and carefree.

He pricked up his ears, sifting through the various sounds and messages around him.

There are everyday family matters, grudges and affections, brotherhood, and lovesick men and women.

As he listened to these chaotic reports, his understanding of the entire demon realm was rapidly increasing.

He can absorb the soul orbs of powerful demons, thereby viewing their memories and absorbing their experience.

The demon race, however, could not be absorbed; they only possessed demon crystals and could not absorb their memories.

Therefore, the only option is to use the cumbersome method of gathering information bit by bit to increase our understanding of the demon race.

Even if one were to perform the Reincarnation Marriage Technique again, one must choose carefully and be extremely cautious.

To make a good choice, one needs to have a sufficient understanding of the demon realm.

"Have you heard? The Ghost Bone Flower has actually appeared in our city!"

Suddenly, a murmur of conversation jolted Leng Tieya awake, and he turned his ears to the northwest.

It turned out to be four old men gathered together, each with white hair and youthful faces, and vigorous spirits, clearly having achieved success in their cultivation.

"Shh—!" an old man whispered.

Another old man scoffed: "What's the big deal? Can't we even mention it?"

"Don't mention it!" an aged voice lowered its volume: "Mentioning this name will attract those evil spirits!"

"Old Zhong, is it really that strange?"

"It's even more bizarre than I described! ... They can transform into countless forms, and no one knows where they will appear. It is said that they have a special sensitivity to these three words, and once they are mentioned, they can sense them."

"But I've heard plenty of guys mention it!"

"Alas... What a sin! Mentioning this name will surely invite evil spirits!"

"Old Zhong, you're talking nonsense! That thing has already come to our city, who brought it? Besides those evil spirits, who else could get their hands on that thing?!"

"...Indeed." The aged voice sighed, "Our Wanjiang City is doomed. Let's hurry and leave while there's still time!"

"Go? Where?"

"Anyway, we need to get out of here!" the old voice said in a deep voice. "Wherever those demons go, countless innocent people will die. Alas—!"

"So what if I die?"

"Old Zhang, you're getting on in years and tired of living, but what about those young people? Wouldn't it be a pity if they just died like that?"

"Since we're all going to die sooner or later, there's nothing to regret. It would be best if we could take care of all these demons before we die."

"That's impossible! Not only will your death not kill the demons, it will actually strengthen them!"

"I'm annoyed!"

"Let's go. Let's leave after we finish eating, and we can come back in a year or two!"

"Are you really leaving?"

"go!"

"……Fine."

They ultimately decided to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Leng Tieya frowned.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the others; several tables were whispering about the matter.

They were also discussing leaving.

Leave Wanjiang City as soon as possible and avoid the Yougu Sect disciples, as they can no longer sense any fighting spirit.

Has the Nether Bone Sect already gained such a prestigious reputation?
This is the demon race, feared to the core, and known for its recklessness and ferocity.

In his mind, the demon race, even when faced with dire straits, would fight fearlessly and never back down.

But none of the demons I see here have said anything tough or wanted to fight the disciples of the Nether Bone Sect to the death.

Are the disciples of the Ghost Bone Sect really that terrifying?
This is the result of years of accumulated power.
He sipped his wine casually while listening to the various discussions, his heart filled with murderous intent.

Demons and humans are enemies, and he wishes that as many demons as possible would die.

The Nether Bone Sect has been harming the demon and monster races. According to the logic that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, we should let the Nether Bone Sect off the hook and allow it to grow stronger.

But he had no such thoughts and couldn't help but want to wipe them out.

The Nether Bone Sect not only eradicates demonic and monster-like nature, but also humanity.

To keep such a scourge around would be disrespectful to the way of Heaven.

The Heart of Destroying the Nether Bone Sect is a tribute to the path of justice and kindness that transcends race.

After finishing his drink, he went downstairs but didn't rush back. Instead, he strolled around the city streets, looking at the various stalls and shops on both sides, and occasionally went into teahouses and places similar to brothels for a bit of fun.

He looked like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the big city, made a fortune, and was now just loafing around doing nothing, with no ambition whatsoever. Halfway there, he discovered that two disciples of the Yougu Sect were following him.

Leng Tieya smiled.

They finally found us!

He deliberately tainted himself with the scent of the Ghost Bone Flower.

The disciples of the Yougu Sect were extremely sensitive to this aura. In their eyes, he was like a lamp in the night, visible no matter how far away they were.

The disciples of the Yougu Sect sensed him and went to find him.

Leng Tieya didn't rush to completely conceal his aura, but continued to release it outwards.

An hour later, he turned and left the city.

Upon reaching the mountain peak outside the city, he completely suppressed the aura of the Ghost Bone Flower.

Four young men were hurrying along when they suddenly stopped and frowned.

They were all thin and looked weak and lacked vitality, indicating that their cultivation was mediocre.

This ordinary young man walked the streets of Wanjiang City without attracting much attention.

There are many such good-for-nothing offspring in the eyes of the demon race. Not every demon is a brave and diligent cultivator; there are always some good-for-nothings.

The four youths frowned and quickened their pace, stopping when they reached the place they had sensed earlier.

Cold Iron Cliff had already appeared three miles away, its light shining on the four of them.

The four youths met on the mountaintop, looked at each other, and then scanned their surroundings.

They sensed nothing, realizing they had lost track of them.

"Feng Chang of the West Second Altar".

"Zhao Xifeng of Dongsantan".

"Zheng Lingzhi of the Second Altar of the West".

"Zhao Xiyang of Dongsantan".

They clasped their hands in a fist salute, their expressions solemn.

"That guy escaped. Does anyone have a way to track him down?"

“…I have a Red Emperor Bee here that can catch him!” said Feng Chang, the young man who spoke first.

He took a small porcelain jar out of his pocket.

The small porcelain jar is about the size of a thumb and has several air holes, making it quite different from a porcelain bottle.

The white porcelain base is decorated with a thick, vibrant red flower pattern.

He carefully opened the mouth of the porcelain jar, and a red bee flew out gracefully.

A bright red bee, about the size of a fingernail, circled three times a meter above his head before flying away into the distance.

He perked up: "Found it!"

The other three youths were also invigorated. The Crimson Emperor Bee was very famous, and they never expected that Feng Chang would actually keep one.

The Crimson Bee has an amazing sense of the Ghost Bone Flower; it can smell it even from a hundred miles away.

Raising a single red queen bee requires a great deal of effort and patience.

They assumed they didn't have the patience or energy to raise a single red queen bee.

They activated their movement techniques, closely following behind the Crimson Emperor Bee, while also focusing their attention, ready to attack at any moment.

They felt that someone who could disappear from their senses was no ordinary expert, but one that required careful handling.

The red queen bee flew a mile away and landed on the bank of a wide river at the foot of a mountain, then circled around the river.

Outside Wanjiang City, there are many such wide rivers.

The surging river flowed down, and the red royal bees hovered above it.

The four youths were immediately disappointed.

"They actually managed to hide it from the Crimson Emperor Bees?" Feng Chang frowned.

"Did they throw the Ghost Bone Flower into this river?"

"Hey? Look, what's that?!" A young man suddenly pointed to the middle of the river.

The other three youths looked on and their expressions immediately changed.

A huge cluster of ghost bone flowers slowly emerged in the middle of the river, a golden ghost bone flower with a face as large as a man's.

A golden hibiscus flower in full bloom.

The morning sun was bright, but it paled in comparison to the radiant golden light of this elusive flower.

"Golden Ghost Flower!"

Their faces lit up with ecstasy, their eyes shining brightly.

His body instantly surged with vigorous masculine energy and boundless blood energy.

At the same time, their expressions quickly changed from ecstasy to tension, and as they stared at the golden ghost flower, they glanced at their three companions.

Leng Tieya stood on the mountaintop next to him, with Chu Liezhao standing beside him.

Chu Liezhao revealed a cold smile.

He came directly from the underground library through a portal.
