Chapter 1223 Plan
Chu Zhiyuan was filled with helplessness.

There's a strange feeling, like I'm accompanying a woman shopping.

That night, seven groups of demons were killed; three groups consisted of a whole host of demons, while the remaining four groups consisted of only two or three demons each.

She paid no heed to the number of demons, stealthily approaching them before launching a sudden attack that was fatal.

She combined her lightness skill, swordsmanship, and newly mastered secret techniques with increasing skill and power.

In the later two waves, these demons died without even knowing what had happened.

One of them was a group of eight demons who kept their distance from each other in a forest so as not to interfere with each other's breathing, but she killed them all in one go without making a sound.

Her assassination skills became increasingly refined and formidable, which excited her immensely.

As dawn broke, they were getting further and further away from the imperial city and had no choice but to turn back.

Otherwise, she would have continued killing, yet she felt no fatigue throughout the night.

Ding Huanchun quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's talk another day, this is..."

"I've killed quite a few demons," Chu Zhiyuan said, shaking his head. "Too lazy to clean up."

Ding Huanchun's eyes lit up, and he chuckled, "Leave it to us, I'll send someone over to take care of it."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's too far away. You can handle the area within fifty miles."

He swiped his fingers.

The fingers move like a pen, drawing lines on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a map appeared on the ground.

On the map, mountains and rivers are clearly visible, and forests are also marked on them.

Several of these places were specially marked as places to slay demons.

"Great, great, great!" Ding Huanchun grinned from ear to ear. "With this, we'll find it very quickly."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now."

"Go back and rest quickly." Ding Huanchun hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting and said warmly, "These demon corpses will all be collected and presented to the emperor."

"Thank you for your trouble." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Their teamwork is already extremely seamless, so there's no need to say more.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu entered the city gate, and the noise immediately rushed towards them.

Vendors calling out loudly, children laughing and playing, and parents shouting and scolding—all filled the bustling, wide street.

Chu Zhiyuan and Lu Xiaolu walked through the crowd, talking as they went.

The dense crowd around them did not hinder their movement or conversation in the slightest.

He was speaking casually, but he was using a very subtle method of telepathy, with only his lips moving.

Lu Xiaolu said, "Junior brother, let's come again tonight!"

Chu Zhiyuan quickly waved his hand: "Senior sister, let's skip it tonight."

Lu Xiaolu's energy was so abundant that even she herself couldn't keep up.

Lu Xiaolu immediately pouted her red lips.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "With Senior Sister's abilities, she is capable enough on her own."

“But I can’t find them,” Lu Xiaolu said.

Finding those demons won't be easy. Even with Chu Zhiyuan with him, he can easily find seven or eight groups.

But if you search on your own, you can only cast a net in one direction at a time.

Searching in one direction might lead you to some people, but you're more likely to encounter other martial arts practitioners rather than evil spirits.

After all, the outside world is too vast, and finding these evil spirits is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "We have almost wiped out the evil spirits around us. If we want to find them again, we would have to go a hundred miles away. It would take too long to travel back and forth, and it would be a waste of time."

Lu Xiaolu asked in disappointment: "Gone within a hundred miles?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Very few. The Wanxiang Sect and the Feiling Sect suffered great losses, and those evil demons are starting to run away."

They had overheard a lot of the demons' discussions last night, and it was clear that the failure of the Wanxiang Sect and Feiling Sect's joint attack had dealt a huge blow to the morale of the entire demonic community.

This defeat completely crushed the morale of the demons.

The Myriad Manifestations Sect and the Flying Spirit Sect are considered top-tier evil sects. Even with hundreds of experts joining forces, they were unable to break into the city.

The city guards, who looked weak and vulnerable, actually had such potential.

This made them suspect that everything that had happened before was a deliberate act of weakness by the city guards, a bait to lure them into their deaths.

In their self-reflection, they suddenly realized that they had unknowingly lost many of the evil sect's masters.

The city guards suffered only limited losses. This increasingly resembled a hoax, whether it was the malfunction of the imperial city's divine artifacts or the treasures of the Flying Snow Cave held by the four major sects, it all seemed like a scam.

In the end, they failed to break into the imperial city, nor did they obtain the treasures of the Flying Snow Cave, and they didn't even know what treasures the Flying Snow Cave contained.

The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous and pathetic it seemed, and I suddenly felt like giving up.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly said, "If they want to run away, then we should chase them down even more. It will be even harder to kill them if they all run back to their lair."

Everyone has the right to kill evil spirits. If these evil spirits all flee back to their lair or hide away to do evil in secret, they will be really hard to kill.

Now is the best time.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and gently shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu's eyes lit up immediately, and she giggled, "What kind of scheme are you plotting now?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

Lu Xiaolu urged hurriedly, "Tell me quickly, why don't you hurry up and chase after them?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Now that they've all been killed, how are we going to find their lair?"

Lu Xiaolu was taken aback, then clapped her hands excitedly: "Let them lead the way?"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

"But how can you track so many demons? You can't handle it all by yourself."

"If the four sects' experts are not enough, ask the Exorcism Division for help and try to capture as many as possible."

"Then...did we kill too many people last night?" Lu Xiaolu asked hesitantly.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "If we don't kill them, how can we scare away the demons in the distance?"

"Was killing those last night enough?" Lu Xiaolu asked. "Should we kill another batch?"

"Almost done, almost done," Chu Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

If we keep killing them, we'll really lose track of their hideout.

"Alright then." Lu Xiaolu said with some regret, then excitedly added, "I'll go with a demon to find their lair, and then we'll secretly raid it!"

With my current abilities, could I quietly infiltrate their lair and kill them one by one without alerting the entire sect?

This is an enormous challenge.

Her eyes lit up at the thought, and she became full of energy.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Which sect of demons are you planning to join, Senior Sister?"

"Can we still choose?" Lu Xiaolu asked curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "If it's the Myriad Manifestations Sect or the Flying Spirit Sect, I can find them directly. The rest are a bit harder to find, and it depends on luck."

"The Myriad Manifestations Sect!" Lu Xiaolu said without hesitation.

The Myriad Manifestations Sect is one of the most troublesome evil sects. If one could infiltrate it and destroy them, it would be a tremendous achievement.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "The Wanxiang Sect is currently weakened, so it is indeed a good time to take action."

Lu Xiaolu pouted and said coquettishly, "Junior brother, are you implying that I'm a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, saying, "The Myriad Manifestations Sect is weak now, but they will be even more troublesome. Senior Sister, do you really want to deal with them?"

“That’s right,” Lu Xiaolu scoffed. “I’m going to choose the Myriad Manifestations Sect!”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Alright, I'll help you find a demon from the Myriad Manifestations Sect tomorrow night, and Senior Sister can secretly follow along."

"Can you really find it?"

"It's not a big problem."

"Row!"

……

Zhu Lingyun was sitting cross-legged in a courtyard, a small courtyard in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

He hadn't expected to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple so easily.

Such a mysterious and powerful place, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, is so easily infiltrated.

This was beyond his expectations.

He has changed completely and has become a different young man.

He was both delicate and handsome, and his figure was also a bit thinner.

These are all methods used by the Myriad Manifestations Sect. By simply wearing a mask, they achieve the effect of changing their appearance.

An ordinary mask would never fool a top expert, but this mask can.
