Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

This person is naturally the city lord of Zonghua City.

Ever since Ji Nanbei and Chen Qinyi visited last time, this city lord has specifically assigned people to keep an eye on the disciples of Yiyumen.

This servant was one of them.

"Lord of the City, all the disciples of Yiyu Sect left Zonghua City today. Someone followed them for a while, and they were heading in the right direction. They should be heading straight back to Yiyu Sect."

The servant reported back.

The city lord of Zonghua City was somewhat surprised.

So you're just going to give up and leave?

However, upon reflection, the city lord of Zonghua City realized that this seemed to make sense.

Those disciples of Yiyumen are young and impetuous, but how many of them can calm down and investigate matters?

These days, the various actions of the Yiyumen disciples in Zonghua City have also reached the ears of this city lord.

A group of people spent most of their time eating, drinking, and having fun in Zonghua City.

There was practically no time to investigate the appearance of demonic energy.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable for the people from Yiyumen to leave.

Naturally, they got tired of it.

However, just to be on the safe side, the city lord asked again:

"When you followed them, did you count the number of people? Did everyone leave without missing a single one?"

The maid nodded hurriedly.

"These past few days, we have already counted the number of people in Yiyumen, and each person has a dedicated person to keep an eye on them."

When they left, we confirmed that everyone was there, and we could remember their names; they had all left.

Seeing how meticulous his subordinates were in their work, the city lord of Zonghua City smiled.

"Not bad, not bad, you did a great job. Alright, everyone go and collect your thirty spirit stones as a reward, then go and rest."

Upon hearing that each servant would receive thirty spirit stones, they were overjoyed.

"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord!"

After the servant left.

The city lord turned around, pushed open the door, and entered the room.

Inside the room, a hunchbacked man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks was waiting.

"Lord City Lord, have the people from Yiyu Gate just left like that?"

The city lord flicked his hand.

"What else can we do? These disciples of the Yiyu Sect are nothing but talented but useless good-for-nothings."

The two leading disciples, after arriving at the city lord's mansion and issuing their notice, couldn't even wait.

What patience do you expect them to have to investigate carefully? They're just using this as an excuse to come to my Zonghua City for pleasure.

The city lord still remembers how Ji Nanbei stood him up.

Upon hearing what the city lord of Zonghua City said, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face nodded.

"That's good then, Lord City Lord. We will continue our search within the city."

The city lord of Zonghua City raised an eyebrow.

"You have seven more days. If you still can't find it, the time limit will be up. Even if you don't find it, you will have to leave Zonghua City."

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks was smiling.

"Of course, this was all agreed upon with the city lord back then."

And just as you all expected.

Ji Nanbei did not leave.

Instead, they walked a distance towards Yiyu Gate.

The three true disciples of the Sword Sect, along with Chen Qinyi, left the group, concealed themselves, and returned to Zonghua City.

"Senior sister, will such a simple plan even work?"

Bai Jie asked in confusion.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

"The plan is simple, but the difficulty lies in the information gap. The city lord of Zonghua City is unaware that his collusion with demons has been exposed, and he is even less aware that the people who came are not only from Yiyumen, but also disciples from my Sword Sect."

The three of them immediately understood.

The other party knew nothing about it.

Then look at what we've been doing these past few days.

Most people are misled.

Although the strategy was simple, the results were remarkable because of the unequal access to information.

"But, Senior Sister Xiao, is it alright if there are only four of us?"

Chen Qinyi asked.

A demon race that can negotiate with the city lord of Zonghua City.

At the very least, there must be someone at the Nascent Soul stage.

Of the four of them, only Xiao Jingxi was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although the other three are all true disciples of major sects, they are still young and only at the Golden Core stage.

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"Don't worry, I've also brought in other help."

Although the three were puzzled, they stopped thinking about it after hearing what the young sword immortal had said.

The so-called external aid should be elders of the Sword Sect or elders of the Jade Shifting Gate.

The four quickly made their way back to Zonghua City.

Coincidentally.

Just as the four of them arrived near Zonghua City, a demonic aura soared into the sky from within the city.

Ji Nanbei's lips twitched.

Ultimately, a large portion of the demon race is deeply ingrained with evil.

Once you've tasted the rich essence of blood and qi, and use it as the foundation for your cultivation, you'll become addicted.

They had only just left; at normal speed, they probably hadn't even reached Yiyumen yet.

Within Zonghua City, some demons could no longer contain themselves.

Sensing the demonic aura, Chen Qinyi immediately prepared to rush in and catch it in the act.

But Ji Nanbei grabbed him.

At the same time, Ji Nanbei transmitted his voice to the other side.

"It's not time yet. Let's sneak into the city and not expose ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qinyi calmed down and, together with Ji Nanbei and the other two, concealed their presence and sneaked into the city.

After entering the city, following the demonic aura, the four of them quickly arrived at the outside of a mansion.

Climb over the wall and cross the courtyard.

Once you reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, you'll need a high-level array to achieve that level of cultivation.

Otherwise, there would be nothing that could stop a few people.

At this moment, wisps of demonic energy rose from this courtyard, spreading throughout the air.

Just as everyone was following the demonic aura inwards...

A scream rang out.

Ji Nanbei immediately stepped forward.

His Nascent Soul stage speed exploded, his figure becoming a blur as he rushed out.

Before the sound had even faded, Ji Nanbei appeared in front of an open house as he crossed the courtyard.

Inside the room, a woman in her early twenties was screaming.

Ahead, there was a person who seemed to be approaching the woman.

This thing looks like a human, but its hands aren't hands; they're claws.

Those are bird claws, like those of an eagle or a vulture.

The two people inside the house were stunned when they saw someone suddenly appear at the door.

Where did this person come from? It's like they appeared in an instant. "400"

Ji Nanbei could only see that the creature with the bird claws exuded a hint of demonic energy.

Then, Ji Nanbei simply flipped his hand.

The spiritual energy condensed and crashed down.

Without using any special techniques, Ji Nanbei easily suppressed the suspected demon by relying solely on Xiao Jingxi's terrifying Nascent Soul stage spiritual energy.

Under the immense pressure of spiritual energy, the other party was completely unable to move, and even their head was pressed into the floor tiles.

Only after seeing this did the woman realize what was happening.

This is someone who came to save themselves.

"Thank you, immortal! Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Only then did Bai Jie and the other two arrive.

Upon inspection, the demon had already been killed.

"Wow, Senior Sister is so strong! This was a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage, yet she suppressed it so easily!"

Bai Jie sighed from the side.
