Late night bottoming out
As the City Guard Captain revealed the name of the Xiao Family, Xiao Feng began to search through his memories, vaguely feeling that his original body belonged to that Family.
The City Guard Captain watched Xiao Feng stand frozen on the spot and sighed, “The Xiao Family is the largest Family in our Zili Country’s Evernight City.”
The most terrifying thing about the Xiao Family was not just their strength, but also their intricate relationships with officials of all sizes.
If one person from the Xiao Family was offended, it was believed that other members of the Xiao Family might come out to deal with them.
At that time, the City Guard Captain would have no way to defeat the people of the Xiao Family.
The City Guard Captain instinctively glanced at the Magistrate: “So you’d best let them go. This general has already called our people away.”
Currently, the only people guarding the Magistrate were Xiao Feng’s people.
Once the Qing Sect Disciples left their surroundings, the Magistrate would regain his freedom.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Wei beside him: “Go tell the Qing Sect Disciples to intentionally let him leave. I want to see what reinforcements he can find.”
Currently, Evernight City was their territory, and he believed the Magistrate definitely wouldn’t suffer a silent loss.
Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng wanted to let the person go, gritted his teeth, and walked over with a face full of unwillingness.
Among the Qing Sect Disciples, only Xiao Feng knew what he was doing.
If the Magistrate brought people from the Xiao Family, it was possible that the person who came might recognize him, and then he would know exactly who the Magistrate was.
The City Guard Captain watched Xiao Feng let the person go, nodded with satisfaction, and looked back at his guards: “A few of you stay by their side and protect their safety.”
Although the strength of the Qing Sect Disciples far exceeded theirs, the City Guard Captain needed to fulfill his duty as a host.
Since they were invited in advance, they had special rooms in the inn within the city.
Xiao Feng brought Zhou Wei to the inn, and the two of them sat in a room.
In this city, they didn’t have to worry about encountering people like those in a den of iniquity.
Currently, the guards at the door were protecting them.
Zhou Wei gathered Spirit Energy in one palm and slammed it fiercely onto the table, his face full of anger: “We finally caught them, why let them go?”
Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Wei’s angry face, walked up to him, and laughed loudly: “I let him go, naturally, for my own reasons. I want to see who he can bring.”
If he was truly the person from the Xiao Family that he had expected, he believed the Magistrate’s fate would only be more miserable than it was now.
Conversely, if the Magistrate’s backing was not the Xiao Family he had thought, then their entire Family might be uprooted by him.
When cutting grass, the roots must be removed, otherwise, if they left here, the Magistrate would definitely continue to harm others, which would be a loss.
Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng’s explanation and understood that he didn’t truly want to let the others go, a smile appeared on his face: “So that’s how it is, haha.”
Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Wei’s face-changing speed, which was like a magic trick, and kicked him with a speechless expression: “Get some rest early, we still have to go find that monster tonight.”
Without good spirits, their reaction speed would be half a beat slower, so how could they deal with that monster.
Unknowingly, half a day had passed.
The sky gradually darkened, and the City Guard Captain arrived at the inn as promised, finding Xiao Feng and his group who were resting in their rooms.
When Xiao Feng saw the City Guard Captain arriving at their room, he looked at them with a serious expression: “Did that monster attack you?”
The City Guard Captain nodded with a grim face: “Yes, that monster attacked our patrol team. Come with us to take a look.”
They knew that even if they went, they wouldn’t be able to catch the monster, so they might as well bring the people from the Qing Sect along.
Xiao Feng greeted Zhou Wei and gave them fifteen minutes to gather the team.
All the Disciples of the Qing Sect came together, and there was no reason for one or two people to stay inside and rest alone.
The City Guard Captain saw that the Qing Sect Disciples were ready and couldn’t help but say to them: “Thank you for your hard work. If you can catch the monster, I will host a grand banquet.”
Currently, Evernight City had been made listless by that monster.
Xiao Feng didn’t respond to the City Guard Captain but said to Zhou Wei and the Qing Sect Disciples: “All of you, cheer up. That Monster should have some skill in speed.”
In his eyes, there was no reason for the Monster to leave in front of them; it was very likely that it had left early by utilizing its speed advantage.
The Qing Sect Disciples exchanged glances and all walked together, afraid that the Monster would inexplicably appear in front of them.
In the Qing Sect, all their fights were stopped at the right point.
And when they left the Qing Sect, everyone was in danger of losing their lives.
Xiao Feng watched as the Qing Sect Disciples were all ready and followed behind the City Guard Captain, the group wandering on the streets.
Zhou Wei scanned the surroundings with a face full of surprise: “Do we just have to wander on the streets, and that monster will come out?”
The City Guard Captain heard their question and nodded slightly: “According to what we know, the monster likes to target our lone patrol teams.”
Currently, their number was not much different from the patrol teams.
As long as the Monster appeared, he believed it would definitely cause trouble.
Xiao Feng looked around with a serious expression, not even smelling a hint of strangeness.
Suddenly, a sound came from behind, causing them to all look behind them.
They saw several of the City Guard Captain’s guards knocked down by that monster, with terrifying and hideous scars on their bodies.
If it weren't for the Qing Sect Disciples acting based on muscle memory, he believed these few guards would have died here.
The City Guard Captain and Xiao Feng both came to the guards at the same time and looked around: “Did you see what the Monster looked like?”
The guards heard them asking and shook their heads with faces full of fear: “We just felt a force hit us, and we fell down.”
All the guards gave the same answer, not a single person could see what the Monster looked like.
The City Guard Captain looked at Xiao Feng with a helpless expression: “Did you see? We have no way to catch the Monster.”
Xiao Feng carefully scanned the surroundings, and the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique slowly rose from his body, wanting to use Spirit Energy to find the location of the Monster.
The strength of the third layer of the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique shocked many people present; they hadn’t expected Xiao Feng to have already cultivated the Qi Refining Technique to the third layer.
In just a short fifteen minutes, he withdrew his Spirit Energy, his face full of confusion: “I didn’t see it, that’s a bit strange.”
Originally, the Monster had just dealt with the City Guard Captain’s people, so it should have been nearby.
No one expected that the Spirit Energy scan found nothing, which made his heart unable to settle down, afraid that the Monster would appear again.
