Luo Mengxuan took out the token of a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect and infused it with her true energy.

An aura of authority immediately emanated from the token, intimidating the two guards.

In fact, neither of the two guards recognized the token of a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect; they did not possess such broad knowledge.

However, the imposing aura emanating from the token made them realize that the token in the woman's hand was no ordinary object, which meant that Luo Mengxuan and Ye Feng were of extraordinary status.

So the two of them quickly apologized, their arrogant demeanor followed by their obsequious attitude was quite amusing.

"Why aren't you reporting to your city lord?" Luo Mengxuan said coldly.

Yes, yes, yes.

The two guards quickly agreed, and one of them hurriedly ran into the city lord's mansion to report to the city lord of Fenghua City.

Before long, a beautiful woman dressed in a very elegant and luxurious manner walked out quickly.

This beautiful woman looked to be around forty years old. Her graceful figure was striking, and her gentle face was pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, she exudes the unique aura of a mature woman from head to toe, and even has a strong maternal scent.

It's obvious at a glance that she has given birth to children; otherwise, she wouldn't exude such a maternal aura.

"Are you two disciples of the Xuanji Sect? I am Zhou Xinrui, the city lord of Fenghua City. Please forgive me for not greeting you properly," Zhou Xinrui said.

"I am Luo Mengxuan, a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect. This is my junior brother, Ye Feng, an inner disciple," Luo Mengxuan said.

"Are you two here to help deal with the strange monsters in our Fenghua City?" Zhou Xinrui asked.

“Exactly!” Luo Mengxuan nodded.

“Please follow me,” Zhou Xinrui said immediately.

Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan then followed Zhou Xinrui into the city lord's mansion.

Upon arriving at the inner hall, Zhou Xinrui summoned a maid to serve hot tea to Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan, and then recounted the matter of the demon beast to them in detail.

"Speaking of this monster, it is truly bizarre."

"Two weeks ago, my daughter and I returned to Fenghua City from Goron City. After we got back, this happened. The maids, old women and even guards in the city lord's mansion died one after another."

"Moreover, their deaths were all extremely gruesome, as if their essence had been drained away, leaving them as withered, dried-up corpses, which was quite terrifying."

"I issued a summons, calling on the warriors in the city to search the city lord's mansion, but we still couldn't find any trace of that monster. That monster still comes out to harm people from time to time."

"I had no choice but to ask your sect for help. I've been waiting for you for so long, and now you've finally arrived. I hope you two can help me solve this problem and get rid of that strange monster."

The night wind couldn't help but frown.

Although City Lord Zhou Xinrui said a lot, she didn't provide much information about the demonic beasts.

She didn't know what kind of monster it was.

She didn't know what that monster looked like.

She still didn't know what rank that demonic beast was.

They knew absolutely nothing when asked.

Luo Mengxuan also felt somewhat troubled. She was supposed to deal with a demonic beast, but she didn't even know what kind of demonic beast it was, which made things very difficult.

"Perhaps we can find some clues from the victims," ​​Ye Feng said telepathically.

Luo Mengxuan immediately understood, nodded to Ye Feng, and then looked at City Lord Zhou Xinrui and said, "City Lord Zhou, would it be convenient for you to take us to see the bodies of the victims? We want to examine the bodies and see if there are any clues on them."

“Then come with me,” Zhou Xinrui said.

Zhou Xinrui stood up and walked outside, with Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan following immediately.

After leaving the inner courtyard and arriving at the backyard of the city lord's mansion, Zhou Xinrui pointed to a woodshed in the distance and said, "Those corpses are kept in the woodshed. You can go and see for yourselves. I won't go; I'm a little... scared..."

Zhou Xinrui was just an ordinary woman, so it wasn't surprising that she was afraid.

Ye Feng then said, "Then please wait for us here, Lord Zhou. We'll be right back."

“Okay, please go ahead.” Zhou Xinrui nodded.

Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan strode towards the woodshed and soon entered it.

Inside the woodshed were rows of corpses, all of them white-haired, with withered flesh and shriveled skin, looking like skeletons covered with a layer of skin.

Luo Mengxuan felt a little disgusted, but Ye Feng's expression didn't change at all.

Night Breeze even took the initiative to step forward and carefully examine the corpses.

But after examining it for a long time, Ye Feng's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Junior brother, did you find anything?" Luo Mengxuan asked.

Ye Feng pointed to the neck of a corpse and said, "Senior sister, keep an eye on this."

Luo Mengxuan then went closer to take a look and immediately noticed a ring of teeth marks on the corpse's neck.

"That was the fatal wound, but he wasn't bitten to death. Instead, after the attack, the monster drained his life force and essence, which is why he looks so emaciated, like a dried corpse," Ye Feng said.

“But based on this alone, we still can’t determine what kind of monster is causing this,” Luo Mengxuan said.

“Yes, this is indeed a bit tricky,” Ye Feng said.

Luo Mengxuan smiled and said, "In that case, we'll have to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days. Perhaps during our stay, that demonic beast will make a move, and then we might discover some clues."

“Okay, let’s do it that way,” Night Wind nodded.

After Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan came out of the woodshed, City Lord Zhou Xinrui asked expectantly, "Did you two gain anything?"

"We've examined the corpse in the woodshed, but we can't determine what kind of monster it was based on the body alone. Of course, we didn't come away empty-handed," Ye Feng said.

Luo Mengxuan then said, "Lord Zhou, if you don't mind, would you allow us to stay in the Lord's Mansion for a few days? That way, if that demonic beast makes a move, we can capture it immediately."

Zhou Xinrui was naturally more than happy to accept this.

She had originally wanted to persuade Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan to stay, and now that Luo Mengxuan had taken the initiative to stay, it suited her wishes perfectly.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Ye and Miss Luo," Zhou Xinrui said.

"Lord Zhou, you're too kind," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Zhou Xinrui said, "If you don't mind, just call me Aunt Zhou. City Lord, City Lord, is too formal!"

Zhou Xinrui is quite down-to-earth.

But that's normal. Judging from her temperament, she's not the aggressive type. Besides, as the city lord, she's really no match for Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.

After all, Fenghua City is not a large city, but only a small one with a total population of only 100,000.

Such a small town is nothing compared to a prestigious sect like the Xuanji Sect.
