The City Lord's Mansion of Jiangcheng.
Eighteen figures sat in chairs in front of a round square table, their faces solemn.
The one in the middle is the city lord, Xia Yuanji.
He looked around and nodded repeatedly.
In this small conference room, all the top-level forces in Jiangcheng were gathered, the lowest being A-level Stage 1.
"Lord, that little thief is hiding in the demonic tide outside the city. Although we are top-tier A-rank experts, if we rashly go out, I'm afraid...!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man who wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a scholarly appearance.
"Yes! There are S-class monsters in there, and more than one!"
"I've heard there's also a powerful Shadow Demon, whose strength is unfathomable!"
"Yes, yes, yes, shouldn't we reconsider?"
...
The others echoed this sentiment.
Seeing their reluctance, Xia Yuanji was not angry, as if it were all within his expectations.
"I wasn't originally planning to tell you, but since that's the case, you can all rest assured!"
"Around noon tomorrow, the Zheng family of Shencheng will send five S-level peerless experts. At that time, we will gather together and go into the demonic tide to search for the murderer."
In an instant, the dozen or so members of parliament and the Senate Speaker, who were initially reluctant, could not believe their ears.
"Really?" one of the councilors asked, standing up.
Xia Yuanji nodded, his expression inscrutable. Of course, he dared not say that the other party had another purpose besides taking the murderer away.
To demand an explanation.
Upon hearing about the Zheng family of Shencheng, the councilors' previously somber atmosphere vanished, and their worries disappeared completely.
"With them around, everything will be solved!"
"If you ask me, there's no need to trouble the Zheng family at all. Our eighteen warriors can still capture the murderer alive by venturing deep into the demonic tide."
“I could kill a D-level piece of trash with just one finger.”
...
They spoke as if it were a trivial matter, and their confidence soared.
Xia Yuanji looked at the clock on the wall; the time was frozen at six in the morning.
The Zheng family should arrive by the afternoon at the latest.
"Chu Feng! You made me pay such a price. After I capture you, no matter what state you are in, I will cut off your arm first to vent my hatred!"
Xia Yuanji was fantasizing about what instruments of torture would be best to use after capturing him alive.
At that moment, his personal guards pushed open the door.
"Bang!"
His arrival startled everyone.
"What kind of behavior is this!" Xia Yuanji was furious and almost strangled the other person.
He actually dared to barge into the city lord's conference room!
"Lord Xia! That! That...!" The guard's face was flushed, and he was extremely excited, as if there was something urgent.
Seeing this, Xia Yuanji was slightly taken aback, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.
The guards' disregard for the rules must mean something serious has happened.
"Speak quickly!"
"The...the demonic tide outside the city has receded!" the guard managed to say, his face beaming with excitement.
"What?" Xia Yuanji stood up, his eyes wide. The worry on his face gradually turned into joy.
The other members of parliament also stood up, each revealing undisguised joy.
This moment!
Xia Yuanji felt even more confident.
He had been worried that the other party was hidden among the endless monsters and would be difficult to find. But now, the demonic tide had receded.
Finding the other party would be a piece of cake.
Moreover, Jiangcheng also has over a thousand B-rank experts.
Outside of Jiangcheng.
Chu Feng looked at the more than thirty S-rank monsters kneeling on the ground in front of him and scanned them with his talent.
Name: Blood Demon (High-level Monster)
Strength: S-rank, Tier 2
Abilities: Blood Domain, Possession, Imprisonment, Summoning, Blood Explosion
Name: Chimei (High-level Monster)
Strength: S-rank, Tier 3
Abilities: Charm, Teleportation, Illusion, Magic Dance
Name: Bone King (High-level Monster)
Strength: S-rank, Tier 1
Abilities: Bone Sword, Soul Destroyer, Spirit Fire, Bone Stamen, Bone Devourer

Abilities: Undying Demon Body, Corpse Poison, Assimilation, Corpse Fire
Name: Shadow Demon (High-level Monster)
Strength: S-rank, fifth tier
Abilities: Shadow Creation, Shadow Clone, Dark Raid, Night Walk, Shadow Domain
...
There were five S-class monsters in front of Chu Feng.
Among them are nine Blood Demons, five Demons, six Bone Kings, seven Corpse Kings, and one Shadow Demon.
Among them, Shadow Fiend is the strongest, ranking at S-level, fifth tier.
As for the thousands of A-rank monsters, there were too many for Chu Feng to scan carefully.
I only did a rough calculation. Each of them was incredibly powerful, with an exceptionally strong aura.
White Fiend, Red Fiend, Hungry Ghost, Demon Eye, Corpse General...
However, these S-rank monsters in front of him were the force that controlled everything, and they were kneeling in front of Chu Feng.
Their posture was extremely humble, their attitude subservient, like a speck of dust.
At the same time, Chu Feng also felt immense pressure, as he was indeed wearing the cloak of a demon god.
But his true strength is only C-level. Once these guys in front of him find out that he is human...
The consequences would be far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.
The more this happened, the more cautious Chu Feng became. The illusory Yellow Springs grew even more frenzied, the throne increased by three-tenths of an inch, and even the ten-thousand-meter body increased by another hundred feet.
This maneuver made the monsters even more respectful.
The oppressive feeling stems from power.
Chu Feng planned that after resolving the matter in Jiangcheng, his next step would be to deal with these demons.
With so many powerful demons, it would be a waste of my talent not to seize their power.
