103: Killing two birds with one stone

Silver Sparrow City is known to be near the Red Lotus Mountain Range, and Cultivators often enter it to hunt Yao Beasts, capture some Yao Beast cubs, or collect Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine.

Sometimes, these Cultivators would raise the captured Yao Beast cubs as pets. Perhaps the cub of the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger was captured by a Cultivator and brought into the city.

Lin Feng told his idea to the other Cultivators, and they all agreed that he made sense. So, they began to split up and investigate the homes of Cultivators who frequently dealt with Yao Beasts.

After some effort, they finally found a clue in a Cultivator's home. That Cultivator was actually raising a young Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger, but the cub looked listless at the moment, as if it had been startled.

Lin Feng and the others were overjoyed at the sight. They knew that this cub was very likely the one the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger had been searching for. So, they carefully took the cub, preparing to hand it over to Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming.

However, just as they were about to leave, the Cultivator suddenly returned. Seeing Lin Feng and the others taking his cub, he became enraged and tried to snatch it back.

This person was not a local Cultivator of Silver Sparrow City and had a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. When Silver Sparrow City and the Yao Beasts erupted in conflict, he, not being a local Cultivator, was naturally able to avoid the City Lord's summons.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others quickly took up their stances, preparing to fight. They knew that since this person dared to snatch the cub, he must have some backing. Moreover, they could not let this cub fall into the hands of a Yao Beast again.

The Cultivator roared and pounced on Lin Feng and the others. Lin Feng and the others dared not be careless, and all of them cast their Spells, engaging in battle with the Cultivator. For a time, Spell light flickered in the hall, and the booming sounds of colliding Spiritual Artifacts were incessant.

After a fierce battle, Lin Feng and the others finally subdued the Cultivator. This person daring to fight with them in Silver Sparrow City was purely courting death.

Lin Feng and the others took the cub, preparing to hand it over to Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming as soon as possible. They knew that only by finding the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger could they resolve the crisis in Silver Sparrow City.

They arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and handed the cub to Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming. Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming's faces lit up with joy upon seeing the cub. They knew that this cub was very likely the one the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger had been searching for.

Zhang Baiming said, "Young Friend Lin, you all did very well. This cub is very likely the key to resolving our Silver Sparrow City's crisis. Now, we must quickly find the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger and return the cub to it to appease its wrath."

Lin Feng and the others nodded in agreement. They knew that this crisis was not yet over, and they had to continue to work hard to protect the safety of Silver Sparrow City.

As for returning the Yao Beast, that was no longer Lin Feng and the others' concern. Lin Feng and the others handed the Cultivator who captured the cub to the City Lord. He was now concerned about the situation of the Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators he had framed who had come to the city during this time.

Lin Feng, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation, arrived at the City Lord's Mansion hall, only to see several Foundation Establishment cultivators being interrogated by Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming. These Cultivators were all from Qingfeng Stronghold, and their faces were filled with panic, clearly knowing that they were doomed this time.

Lin Feng secretly rejoiced, knowing that his plan to frame Qingfeng Stronghold had begun to show results. He quietly moved to the side, silently observing the interrogation.

Facing the Golden Core Ancestors' questioning and pressure, these individuals revealed their true purpose for coming here, as well as some secrets of Qingfeng Stronghold. It turned out that they were indeed looking for a Cultivator named Wang Sicong, and this Wang Sicong was Lin Feng's alias.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng secretly felt fortunate. He hadn't expected that a name he had casually made up would actually be related to Qingfeng Stronghold's actions. This strengthened his resolve to use this opportunity to completely strike down Qingfeng Stronghold.

After hearing the confessions of the Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators, Liu Tianfeng and Zhang Baiming imprisoned all of them. Although they were not involved in the matter of the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger, the Immortal Cave of the Great Master of Artifact Refining mentioned by these Cultivators greatly interested them.

Lin Feng chuckled inwardly. Not only had he visited that place once, but Qingfeng Stronghold had also visited it once. And they didn't know that Wang Sicong was Lin Feng. This way, with these Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators captured, he could breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Lin Feng no longer used the alias Wang Sicong in the future.

This crisis in Silver Sparrow City not only eliminated the Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators who were searching for him, but also allowed him to gain merit by catching the fellow who captured the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger cub.

Subsequently, these Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators were also taken away. As for how to send away that Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger cub, it was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could participate in. This would depend on how the two Golden Core Ancestors and the Third-Tier Peak Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger outside the city negotiated.

Lin Feng watched the Qingfeng Stronghold Cultivators being led away, feeling a surge of satisfaction. Although this crisis had not been completely resolved, at least it meant he wouldn't have to worry about these guys for a while.

He turned and left the City Lord's Mansion, preparing to return to the South City Wall to continue guarding Silver Sparrow City. However, just as he was about to exit the City Lord's Mansion gate, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Lin Feng stopped and looked back, only to see a Foundation Establishment cultivator hurrying over. The Cultivator saw Lin Feng and quickly said, "Brother Lin, this is bad, something has happened at the South City Wall!"

Lin Feng was startled by the news. Today was exactly the tenth day. He hadn't expected the Yao Beasts to start attacking the South City Wall already? He quickly asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The Cultivator, panting, said, "Just now, a group of Yao Beasts suddenly attacked the South City Wall. Our Cultivators suffered heavy losses, and we urgently need reinforcements!"

Lin Feng's expression became solemn upon hearing this. He instructed the Cultivator to inform the City Lord of the matter.

And Lin Feng, along with the Cultivators who had come out of the City Lord's Mansion with him, immediately went to reinforce. As long as they held on for a short period, he believed the City Lord and Senior Zhang would bring the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger cub to resolve the matter.

Arriving at the South City Wall, Lin Feng saw smoke billowing over the city wall, with Cultivators and Yao Beasts fiercely engaged in battle. He immediately joined the fight, wielding his Magical Artifact, repelling the Yao Beasts one by one.

Soon, Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng arrived on the city wall. They looked at the Yao Beasts, a cold glint flashing in their eyes. Then, with their powerful strength as Golden Core cultivators, they broke through the Yao Beasts' encirclement and flew into the distance.

Lin Feng and the others were overjoyed at the sight. They knew that Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng were likely going to negotiate with the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger. If the negotiation succeeded, the crisis in Silver Sparrow City might be resolved.

They continued to hold their ground on the city wall, awaiting the return of Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng. Time passed minute by minute, and the battle on the city wall grew fiercer. Although Lin Feng and the others fought with all their might, they still could not withstand the fierce offensive of the Yao Beasts.

Just as they were about to collapse, a roar suddenly came from afar. Lin Feng and the others looked over, only to see Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng flying towards them with a massive Yao Beast.

That Yao Beast exuded a powerful aura; it was precisely the Third-Tier Peak Realm Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger. Lin Feng and the others secretly prayed, hoping that Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng could successfully negotiate and make this Yao Beast retreat.

The Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger arrived on the city wall. It looked at Lin Feng and the others, nodding towards them. Soon after, several Cultivators arrived on the city wall, carrying a cub and escorting a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Upon seeing the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger, the cub immediately broke free from the Cultivator holding it and ran to the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger's side, rubbing affectionately against its body. The Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger also lowered its head, licking the cub's body with its tongue, its eyes full of tenderness.

The Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's face turned pale at the sight, and his body trembled slightly. He knew that he was doomed this time.

Zhang Baiming and Liu Tianfeng walked to the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger's side and conversed with it for a while. Subsequently, the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger let out a roar, and the Yao Beasts besieging Silver Sparrow City all retreated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The Cultivators of Silver Sparrow City cheered at the sight. They knew that this crisis was finally resolved.

And that Foundation Establishment cultivator was swallowed whole by the Qingyue Xuan Ying Tiger. Lin Feng, seeing this, also felt a surge of emotion.

After the crisis was resolved, the Cultivators of Silver Sparrow City began to rebuild their homes, repairing the city walls and houses destroyed by the Yao Beasts. As for Lin Feng, he bid farewell to Liu Tianfeng and returned to his residence to continue his diligent cultivation.
