Incompetent

In the quiet streets, two teams were hidden in the darkness, with only one small team of five people placed in the middle as bait.

Zhou Wei looked at the five people's nervous expressions and couldn't help but question Xiao Feng, "Will this work? I'm worried that monster won't come out."

Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak, screams came from the middle of the street.

This time, with no Qing Sect Disciple watching, the five people were killed on the spot by the Monster.

In contrast, they didn't even see a shadow, nor did they have any reaction.

The City Guard Captain came to the small team of five with an angry face, sensing that the five of them no longer had any breath.

Originally, he planned to go back and settle accounts with Xiao Feng, but who knew Xiao Feng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, using Spirit Energy to search for the Monster's faint figure.

In just a short incense stick's time, he stood up from the ground and pointed to the end of the alley: "Qing Sect Disciple, follow me. City Guard Captain, take your people away. You don't need to patrol tonight."

As long as the Qing Sect Disciple did not leave, Evernight City was safe.

The City Guard Captain watched Xiao Feng leave with the Qing Sect Disciple, understanding that they had found the Monster's location, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems asking them for help was the right decision."

At this moment, Xiao Feng led Zhou Wei slowly approaching the location he sensed.

However, that faint aura gradually disappeared, causing Xiao Feng to panic.

Zhou Wei saw that his expression was a bit off and leaned forward: "Did you sense its location? The Qing Sect Disciple are ready for your call at any time."

Now, they all knew the Monster came and went without a trace, so everyone activated the Qing Sect Qi Refining Technique, creating a barrier around themselves.

Even if the Monster came near them, they believed the Monster could only break their barrier, but would have no way to harm them directly.

Xiao Feng looked at the expectant faces of the Qing Sect Disciple and lowered his head in shame: "I just sensed the Monster's aura right here, but... it disappeared into thin air."

With just a few words, the Qing Sect Disciple exchanged glances: "That shouldn't be the case, right? A Monster can actually slip away silently right in front of so many of us?"

Although they were just ordinary Disciple of the Qing Sect, they were all Cultivators, so they shouldn't be unable to detect even the slightest fluctuation in aura.

Xiao Feng understood that they were all questioning him and took a deep breath: "The Monster's speed is extremely terrifying. I'm afraid our naked eyes cannot detect its traces."

Suddenly, Xiao Feng's gaze fell upon Shen Qingchen, and a plan began to form in his mind.

Fortunately, he had overruled dissenting opinions and kept Shen Qingchen in the team back then, otherwise, encountering a speed-type Monster this time, they would have no way at all.

Zhou Wei watched Xiao Feng stay put and not move, and couldn't help but say to him: "Then what do we do tonight...? We can't just stay here and stare, can we?"

Without a target, they could only temporarily act as the City Guard Captain's substitute and patrol the city.

Xiao Feng divided the Qing Sect Disciple into groups of three, telling them not to separate, as the Monster was very likely hiding in the dark waiting for them to split up.

As long as their people were in the same place, they didn't have to worry about the Monster attacking them.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened.

The City Guard Captain brought many guards to Xiao Feng and his group, and found that there was no sign of that Monster beside them.

Instantly, the City Guard Captain's heart sank: "You actually failed? You've disappointed this Captain greatly."

Zhou Wei was about to step forward to explain, but Xiao Feng pulled him back and shook his head: "If we didn't catch the Monster, no amount of explanation is futile."

He understood that the people in the city only looked at the result; they didn't care about the process at all.

The City Guard Captain saw that Xiao Feng had no intention of stepping forward to explain and sneered: "It seems this Captain is a bit uneasy about your strength."

Zhou Wei could originally tolerate the City Guard Captain's complaints, after all, they really hadn't caught the Monster.

Now, the City Guard Captain actually openly said that their strength was insufficient, how could he possibly tolerate his temper?

Zhou Wei walked up to the City Guard Captain with a face full of anger: "We only underestimated the Monster's speed, and you actually question our strength?"

Xiao Feng originally thought the two would just bicker, and the matter would end there.

Who knew the City Guard Captain suddenly drew the weapon from behind his back: "Whether you have skill or not, let's see the real moves with our hands."

Before Zhou Wei could react, the weapon in the City Guard Captain's hand had already swung down.

If Zhou Wei hadn't been constantly watching the City Guard Captain, he believed this blow would have taken half his life.

He used the force of the pushback to retreat a few steps, looking at the City Guard Captain with a surprised expression: "You actually have the guts to attack us?"

Xiao Feng saw the City Guard Captain directly attacking Zhou Wei and couldn't help but remind Zhou Wei: "Withdraw your Spirit Energy. They are all ordinary people."

Using Spirit Energy against ordinary people was simply a dimension-reducing attack; they definitely couldn't bully people in this way.

Zhou Wei heard Xiao Feng strictly forbidding him from using Spirit Energy, and looked at the City Guard Captain with a face full of anger: "Even with just our Qing Sect's sword technique, I will kill him."

The City Guard Captain had been the City Guard Captain in Evernight City for so long, so he naturally had no problems with his combat ability.

Xiao Feng watched the two of them fight back and forth and couldn't help but laugh: "Without the help of Spirit Energy, Zhou Wei is no match for the City Guard Captain."

The Qing Sect Disciple learned that Zhou Wei was not the City Guard Captain's opponent and were full of shock: "What? Zhou Wei is actually not a match for him, an ordinary person?"

Zhou Wei heard the Qing Sect Disciple's discussion and felt his face lose all color, glaring fiercely at the City Guard Captain: "Even without Spirit Energy, I still have the ability to kill you."

As his words fell, he used the Qing Sect's sword technique, constantly circling around the City Guard Captain.

The City Guard Captain, however, only defended and did not attack. He understood that now was Zhou Wei's strongest period, and a clash between the two would only result in himself suffering a loss.

Xiao Feng watched their entanglement from afar and learned a lot from the City Guard Captain.

Don't look at the fact that they didn't have Spirit Energy in their bodies; their fighting methods were exactly what he should be learning the most.

The City Guard Captain watched Zhou Wei's attack speed get weaker and weaker and snorted coldly: "Your speed is getting slower and slower. It seems... you are indeed inferior to us."

Zhou Wei heard the City Guard Captain's impolite words and was just about to release his Spirit Energy, but found that Xiao Feng's gaze was constantly on him.

As Qing Sect Disciple, they had no reason to use Spirit Energy against ordinary people.

Moreover, their trip to Zili Country this time was to perform a mission, how could they just conveniently kill someone else's City Guard Captain?

Just then, the City Guard Captain launched an attack on Zhou Wei. The offensive in his hand was not weak at all, wave after wave stronger than the last, making it difficult for Zhou Wei to even hold his weapon.

In just ten breaths' time, Zhou Wei was beaten back into the Qing Sect's team by him.
