"It doesn't have that chance."
Night Wind said coldly, raising his hand and grabbing the White Demon Devouring Python.
The white, man-eating python, as thick as an adult male's thigh, tumbled and struggled in the air, trying to break free from the constraints of the night wind.
But it was all in vain.
Luo Mengxuan didn't just stand by and watch.
The moment the night wind subdued the White Demon Devouring Python, Luo Mengxuan drew her sword again.
Streaks of sword energy erupted from Luo Mengxuan's Broken Flower Sword, creating hole after hole in the White Demon Devouring Python's body.
The White Demon Devouring Python's body, which looked like smoke, became increasingly thin, and the aura emanating from it became weak and feeble.
Finally, the White Demon Devouring Python exploded with a bang and disappeared without a trace.
A round, pale white bead fell to the floor.
The White Demon Devouring Python is dead, and the pale, round bead, about the size of a walnut, is the demon beast's inner core.
"Finally, we've taken care of this guy," Luo Mengxuan said with a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, his expression gradually relaxing.
Only then did Zhou Xinrui finally dare to breathe heavily.
She clutched her chest, as if afraid her heart would leap out of her chest: "That monster is dead? My daughter is alright?"
"Yes, Lord Zhou, you don't need to worry," Ye Feng said.
"That's great, thank you so much!" Zhou Xinrui said excitedly.
The commotion that just happened here was quite significant, so the guards and servants inside the city lord's mansion were all drawn over.
Zhou Xinrui smiled and said to them, "Don't worry, I'm fine here. Just now, Young Master Ye and Miss Luo caught that monster and fought it fiercely. Now that monster is dead, our City Lord's Mansion is safe."
Hearing Zhou Xinrui's words, the guards and servants were overjoyed, and they all looked at Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan with gratitude and admiration.
You should know that they have been restless and unable to eat or sleep these days, and many of them are already considering leaving the city lord's mansion to find another way out.
Now that the wicked beast has finally been dealt with, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Ye, Miss Luo, there shouldn't be any more problems after this, right?" Zhou Xinrui asked with a smile.
"Yes, there won't be any more problems," Ye Feng nodded.
Zhou Xinrui said gratefully, "I really owe you all this time. If it weren't for you, many more people might have died here, and my daughter would probably have died a violent death as well."
“Lord Zhou, there’s no need to be so polite. We’re here to carry out a mission,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
Luo Mengxuan picked up the demon beast core of the White Demon Devouring Python, wiped off the dust, and then asked curiously, "Junior brother, what is the use of the White Demon Devouring Python's inner core?"
“It can be used in medicine and alchemy,” Night Wind replied.
"Then I'll keep it. Junior brother, just ask me for it if you need it."
Luo Mengxuan said with a smile, and stuffed the inner core of the White Demon Devouring Python into her storage ring.
With the matter settled, Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan did not linger at the City Lord's Mansion any longer and immediately took their leave.
Zhou Xinrui kept trying to persuade Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan to stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a while.
However, neither Ye Feng nor Luo Mengxuan agreed.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Luo Mengxuan took out the Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud from her storage ring and tossed it into the air.
So the small, colorful auspicious cloud, which was only the size of a palm, swelled with the wind and quickly expanded to a radius of three zhang. After Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan leaped onto the colorful auspicious cloud, they flew towards the Xuanji Sect.
"Luckily you're here. If I were alone, I definitely wouldn't have been able to kill that White Demon Devouring Python without harming Lord Zhou's precious daughter," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
"You flatter me, senior sister."
Night Breeze said very modestly.
Luo Mengxuan asked with a smile, "What mission will we take after we go back?"
“Any task is fine,” Ye Feng said calmly.
Luo Mengxuan said, "How about we go and cultivate spiritual flowers and herbs for Elder Zijing? This task doesn't require us to leave the sect, so it should be very easy."
“Okay, let’s do it that way,” Night Wind nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the colorful auspicious clouds suddenly trembled and then shrank abruptly.
Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan quickly leaped into the air and stood upright.
Fortunately, both of them were martial artists skilled in flying, otherwise they would probably have fallen straight down from the sky.
"What's going on? The Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds are acting up again?" Luo Mengxuan asked, completely bewildered.
The Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds had a problem before, and it was Ye Feng who helped Luo Mengxuan re-refine them.
This time, the auspicious five-colored clouds malfunctioned again, which made Luo Mengxuan quite puzzled.
Did Ye Feng's last attempt to refine the Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds not solve the fundamental problem, but merely address the symptoms without addressing the root cause?
"Let's go down first," Ye Feng said.
So Luo Mengxuan followed the night wind and landed on the ground.
This is a vast mountain forest, full of lush trees with verdant canopies that resemble large, open umbrellas.
Luo Mengxuan handed the colorful auspicious cloud to Ye Feng for inspection.
Night Breeze infused its true energy and carefully examined the five-colored auspicious clouds, a hint of confusion appearing on its face.
"It seems there's no problem..." Ye Feng said.
“How could there be no problem? It clearly lost control just now,” Luo Mengxuan said.
"Senior sister, don't worry, let me check again," Ye Feng said.
“Okay, junior brother, you can check it. I’m not in a hurry,” Luo Mengxuan nodded.
Night Breeze sat on the ground, intently examining the auspicious five-colored clouds.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Feng finally found the key to the problem. He smiled and said, "I know what's going on. There's something wrong with the materials used to refine the Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds. Your master used Smoke Dust Sand Crystal to refine the Five-Colored Auspicious Clouds, but Smoke Dust Sand Crystal itself is not pure. Your master must not have refined it further when he was refining it, which is why it turned out like this."
"Then what should we do?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
“I can reforge it for you using Smoke Cloud Gold, but changing one of the refining materials is very troublesome and will probably take several hours,” Ye Feng said.
"Okay, a few hours it is, I'll wait patiently," Luo Mengxuan said nonchalantly.
Since there's nothing urgent, spending a few hours here refining a magical artifact isn't a bad thing.
But just as the night wind was preparing to reforge the five-colored auspicious clouds, a convoy came from afar.
The convoy consisted of about fifteen carriages, ten of which were freight carriages, all loaded with goods.
The remaining five carriages were used for carrying people and transporting supplies.
The caravan was surrounded by guards mounted on tall horses, the lead guard looking fierce and menacing.
