Lu Xueer arrives
Everyone looked at Xiao Feng leading them here, their faces filled with confusion, not understanding why he brought them here.
Xiao Feng swept his gaze over the Qing Sect Disciples present and pointed at Shen Qingchen: "Tonight, Shen Qingchen will lead a few people to set up an ambush here. Remember, do not confront them head-on."
Although their speed was relatively fast, their true strength was only that of a first-order Cultivator.
If they were to appear in front of the Monsters, he believed all of them would die at the hands of the Monsters.
Shen Qingchen heard that Xiao Feng was willing to let her lead a team alone, her face filled with shock as she pointed at herself: "Let me lead a team alone? I can't do it."
Xiao Feng knew that Shen Qingchen had never led a team before and was not particularly popular in the Qing Sect.
But this time, only Shen Qingchen could do this task; no one else had this authority.
To prevent the Qing Sect Disciples from not listening to Shen Qingchen, Xiao Feng specifically walked to their front, his face serious as he scanned them.
"I told you to listen to Shen Qingchen. Do you have any objections?"
The Qing Sect Disciples exchanged glances and all shook their heads, indicating they had no objections at all.
Now, the City Guard Captain was even riding on their heads.
If they didn't bring the Monster's corpse to the City Guard Captain, they would have no way to clear their name.
Xiao Feng originally thought that some Qing Sect Disciples would try to cause trouble for him, but no one expected them to all agree with his opinion.
Since that was the case, Xiao Feng had no other opinions and pointed at Zhou Wei: "Bring the other Disciples and follow me. We'll wait for their information nearby."
Only when Shen Qingchen saw the Monster could they possibly take action.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to find the Monster's location and would just wander aimlessly in the streets.
Originally, Xiao Feng planned to let the City Guard Captain's men rest in the city for a day, but who knew that the City Guard Captain simply wouldn't listen to them and arranged for his men to come out on his own.
As night fell, the Qing Sect Disciples sat on the second floor of the inn, the window opened slightly, staring at the street.
Zhou Wei, seeing Xiao Feng constantly staring outside, couldn't help but walk up to him: "You said... we just watch here, and the Monster will really come?"
Xiao Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I don't know either. The time when the Monster appears isn't up to me."
To avoid not hearing Shen Qingchen's voice, he quickly reminded Zhou Wei: "Don't talk. We need to listen carefully, don't mishear."
They didn't even change their position for the entire night, just sitting there.
However, Shen Qingchen's voice never came, making Xiao Feng feel that the Monster had already discovered them.
Xiao Feng went to Shen Qingchen's location, shaking his head helplessly: "It seems the Monster discovered that we were waiting for it. It's impossible for it to come now."
Before she could respond, a voice came from inside the city: "Something happened at the East Gate. Many guards are dead there."
Xiao Feng was shocked to learn that many guards had died at the East Gate of the city: "Guards died? That shouldn't be."
At this point, he looked at Shen Qingchen and found that she was equally surprised.
From beginning to end, she hadn't sensed the Monster appearing here, so it was impossible for people to die.
Just then, Zhou Wei walked over from behind and stood in front of Xiao Feng: "What should we do? Should we go there with them and take a look?"
Xiao Feng looked at Zhou Wei and the Qing Sect Disciples' eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Of course. Since there are corpses in the city, we can't shirk our responsibility. Let's go and take a look."
He walked at the front of the team, personally leading them to the East Gate of the city.
At this moment, the City Guard Captain was squatting in front of a row of guards, his face filled with resentment.
"How long will it take you to catch the monster in the city? Look how many of our people have died?"
Xiao Feng ignored the City Guard Captain and instead brought Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen to the front of the deceased guards.
The expressions of these guards were all the same, their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying in their last moments.
Zhou Wei looked at the way these people died, leaned towards Xiao Feng, and reminded him: "These people... should have all died at the hands of that Monster."
Xiao Feng didn't need them to remind him; he could tell from their appearance alone that they had all died at the hands of the Monster.
Just then, the City Guard Captain came to Xiao Feng, grabbed his collar, and demanded: "I'm asking you, when will you catch the monster and bring it back?"
Zhou Wei saw that the City Guard Captain seemed to be about to take action, fiercely pushed him away, his face filled with anger: "You can speak properly if you have something to say."
The other Qing Sect Disciples all came out, drawing their weapons, showing signs of taking action if there was any disagreement.
The City Guard Captain watched his guards and the Qing Sect Disciples confronting each other and couldn't help but wave his hand at them: "You really have good methods. Can't beat the Monster, so you beat us?"
Just as the two sides were confronting each other, a familiar shout came from the side, causing everyone to look towards the city.
They saw a group of people wearing the same clothes walking over with smiles on their faces, standing in front of them.
The City Guard Captain asked himself if he had ever seen them before, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Who are you? Our Evernight City isn't a place where just anyone can come."
Originally, Zili Country was heavily guarded, and ordinary people had no chance to enter.
However, Zili Country had recently lost many guards, resulting in very few guards left at the city gate.
Taking advantage of the guard's emptiness, Lu Xue'er actually brought the Qing Sect Disciples and mixed in from the entrance.
Zhou Wei took two steps forward with a surprised look on his face and glanced at Xiao Feng: "How did they get here? Could it be that their mission is the same as ours?"
Xiao Feng listened to Zhou Wei's analysis and shook his head in surprise: "How could it be the same? The Qing Sect has never arranged the same mission."
Now, there were only two possibilities for Lu Xue'er coming here.
The first possibility was that Lu Xue'er specifically came here to mock him, thinking they were incapable of completing the mission here.
The second was that Lu Xue'er had already completed the mission assigned to them by the Qing Sect, and this time she was simply here to watch the show.
After Xiao Feng's analysis, he felt there was a high possibility that Lu Xue'er was the second type.
The mission assigned to them by the Qing Sect must always be put first, otherwise if the Qing Sect Elder and Sect Leader knew that they were delayed by this matter, the training would be considered a failure.
Just then, Lu Xue'er walked up to the City Guard Captain and chuckled softly: "I can help you solve the trouble in the city. You can definitely trust our strength."
