System evaluation: The magical treasures are plentiful, but the cultivation level is meager.

After reading the system's evaluation, Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

While the system's argument makes sense, it's not much better!

"Host, I don't understand, why don't you use the Spirit Gathering Pill and the White Ginseng?"

"Stupid system, what if the demonic cultivators come knocking on my door while I'm in seclusion?"

"You're just too cautious."

"..."

Lin Feng toyed with the Frost Sword in his hand, his expression somewhat gloomy and unreadable.

According to the latest news, the destination of the demons moving through the Sunset Mountains is actually the City Lord's Mansion in Yunyang City.

He had previously encountered a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator lurking in Yunyang City, and now another batch was coming.

"It seems Yunyang City is about to be in turmoil." He sheathed his longsword.

A secluded courtyard in Qinglin City.

The three people who were cultivating almost immediately sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the courtyard.

The three of them stepped forward together and bowed in greeting.

"I've come here to take you back to your sect."

"Master, has something happened to the demonic cultivators in Sunset Mountain Range?" Liu Yushu asked softly.

"Those demonic cultivators are heading towards the City Lord's Mansion in Yunyang City. I suspect they'll make a move once they get there, and we'll probably need to take action from Qingyun Palace then."

"I wonder what good stuff it is!" Chi Yao exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Feng glanced at Liu Yushu and saw that her face was gloomy, as if she was thinking about something.

"It's possible that they would do anything, whether it's for treasure or to harm people."

"Boss, is there any way to play support? I'd like to help too!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng took out more than a dozen high-grade cultivation techniques from his storage ring, all of which were prizes he had obtained from Zhao Qian.

"Choose for yourself."

They set off back to Qingyun Palace that evening.

As soon as they landed on Little Bamboo Peak, an inner disciple came to greet them.

"Peak Master Lin, the latest location of the demonic cultivators from Sunset Mountain Range has entered the territory of Yunyang City and arrived at Anping Town."

Lin Feng nodded: "I understand, you may leave."

After the person left, he couldn't help but frown.

Based on his intuition as someone chosen by the system, he felt that this matter was probably related to the mission.

Lin Feng took out his storage bag and used a spatial teleportation talisman.

The city was bustling with pedestrians, giving it the feel of a large town, and there were many vendors on the streets.

It seems no one knows that more than a hundred demonic cultivators have been lurking in the city.

Lin Feng landed outside the city lord's mansion and then used his divine sense to search the inside. He found no demonic aura, but there were carriages coming and going.

"Is there a happy occasion at the City Lord's Mansion today?" Lin Feng casually asked a pancake vendor on the street ahead.

The vendor, flipping the pancakes, replied, "The city lord's daughter is back! I heard she's been studying under a master at the Xuan Yang Sect for several years and hasn't been home. She's returned to celebrate the city lord's birthday."

"Xuanyang Sect?"

"That's right! It's said that she has exceptional talent; an elder from the Xuan Yang Sect personally came to take her as his disciple."

Lin Feng smiled but didn't reply.

Xuan Yang Sect is one of the top four sects in the Great Chu Kingdom. For an elder to personally come and accept a disciple, the disciple must be a prodigy.

"Host, congratulations on guessing correctly!" a soft, cute electronic voice announced.

"Ding! Detected that Chu Lingyan, daughter of the City Lord of Yunyang City, is the reincarnation of an Empress, possessing profound fortune. Please take her as your disciple; generous rewards will follow."

"Task Time Limit: One Day"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

Why are these demonic cultivators making such a big fuss about coming to Yunyang City? Are they after Chu Lingyan?

He concealed his presence and quietly sneaked into the Dao City Lord's mansion.

Inside, many helpers dressed in dark gray cloth were setting up a banquet, while outside, lanterns and decorations were also on display.

He went straight to Chu Lingyan's room; she was the only cultivator in the city lord's mansion.

knock --

"Who?" A clear and gentle voice came, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains.

"Someone wants to kill you."

Crunch, crunch—

The doors and windows in front of them opened automatically without any wind.

Lin Feng also saw the woman standing in front of the mahogany square table inside.

She wore a light green, wide-sleeved, flowing dress with a light silver trim at the neckline.

With fair skin and a beautiful face that surpasses even the peach blossoms of spring, her moist eyes seem to be soaking in a mountain hot spring.

She looks just like a green-clad version of Little Dragon Girl, Lin Feng thought.

Chu Lingyan gripped the hilt of her sword, her eyes filled with wariness: "Who are you?"

"Who I am is unimportant. What's most important right now is that over a hundred demonic cultivators have infiltrated Yunyang City, and they're all after you."

Chu Lingyan stared at him for a few seconds, her eyes blank: "How did you know?"

"This group of demonic cultivators passed through my Qingyun Palace mountain range on their way forward."

"Moreover, the leader of that group of demonic cultivators was a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Chu Lingyan's pupils constricted, and she trembled: "I'm going to tell my father!"

"I can help you deal with them, but you have to become my disciple," Lin Feng said, arms crossed. "Or, you can run now."

"But I must remind you, you can run for a while, but you can't run forever."

"The last person they targeted because of their exceptional physique has already been wiped out."

Chu Lingyan subconsciously took a few steps back, her fair hands bracing themselves on the table.

Her fingers tightened slightly: "Are you serious?"

Whether it's a lie or not, we'll find out tonight.

Chu Lingyan frowned deeply and quickly walked to the window to look outside—the courtyard was calm and peaceful, and the servants were still busy hanging red silk.

She gripped the window frame, her fingertips turning white.

"What methods do you have to deal with them?"

Lin Feng leaned close to her ear and whispered, "..."

Midnight, Yunyang City.

The lanterns under the eaves of the city lord's mansion were lit, and a scarlet cloud pattern had been laid out outside the white jade steps. Exquisite lanterns of good fortune and longevity hung on the jade pillars with coiled dragons on both sides.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the center of an antique-style room. Many ginseng stems lay on the ground, and spiritual energy surged in the air, but it was all concealed by his purple robe.

Outside the mansion wall, the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard.

A dozen or so demonic cultivators scaled over the east wall.

A Nascent Soul demonic cultivator appeared in the center of the mansion, his black cloak fluttering in the night wind.

He unleashed his divine sense over the entire city lord's mansion.

The next second, a deep voice rang out, a voice that seemed to have been steeped in the waters of a thousand-year-old icy pool: "Search that room."

His finger pointed directly at Chu Lingyan's bedroom.

Several figures wearing black hoods sped away.

Another voice rang out: "Hmph, they're playing the 'empty city stratagem'. What's the point of leaving one person alive inside?"
