Chapter 40 Truth and Falsehood



Lu Xue'er gleaned some information from the conversations around her, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Demon beasts? There are demon beasts in this city?"

As her voice faded, an invisible spiritual force began to spread out from her center.

Those around him glanced at Xiao Feng with embarrassed expressions, not expecting that he had blurted it out.

Now, if he denies the existence of the demon beast, it would seem like he's trying to cover something up, so he might as well give her more information.

Xiao Feng pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Come sit down here, and I'll tell you the information we've gathered."

The disciples around him and in the group exchanged glances, then approached Xiao Feng with puzzled expressions: "Dude, what's going on...?"

They were just arguing, and now they want to share all the information; there's a significant difference between them.

Seeing their puzzled looks, Xiao Feng couldn't help but nod to those around him, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it.

Lu Xue'er mistakenly thought that Xiao Feng really needed her help, and sat down with a cold expression: "I knew you would know what was good for you, otherwise the reputation of the Qing Sect would be ruined by you."

The people around him were filled with anger, but they had no way to vent it.

Now that Lu Xue'er was sitting in front of him, Xiao Feng didn't try to hide anything. After pondering for a moment, he said, "There is a low-level demon beast in the city that is good at hunting down guards."

When the city garrison commander heard Xiao Feng mention his men, his face turned ashen.

In the past few days, the disciples of the Qing Sect were unharmed, while he lost a considerable number of his guards.

Since what he was saying was something the city garrison commander didn't want to hear, the commander simply called out to the guards behind him, "Let's go."

Xiao Feng watched the guards leave, then looked at Lu Xue'er: "Recently, the guards have been frequently appearing on the city walls. We suspect that the demonic beasts are looking for an opportunity."

Upon learning that the demonic beast might be near the city wall, Lu Xue'er sneered, "You all just sit here and wait. We'll go and capture the demonic beast and bring it back for you to see."

Without saying much to them, she reorganized her group and left with her people.

As soon as they left, the crowd gathered around Xiao Feng and burst into laughter: "What a mix of truth and deception! I wonder if she'll believe us?"

Since they arrived here, the monsters have shown no interest in attacking the guards on the city wall, so Lu Xue'er's investigation of the city wall will yield no results.

Now that Lu Xue'er's people have left, Xiao Feng couldn't help but greet his disciples: "Everyone, get some rest during the day, and proceed according to plan tonight."

The reason we didn't see any monsters yesterday was because the city garrison commander had arranged for his guards to patrol the city.

Having suffered such a loss yesterday, the city's defenders would never arrange for other guards to patrol the city.

The disciples in the group exchanged glances and then walked over to their rooms.

After spending the entire night on the streets yesterday, everyone is now feeling exhausted.

If they use this method to ambush monsters, they might not even be able to recognize them even if the monsters walk right up to them.

Just as the disciples in the group left, Lu Xue'er stormed in through the door, her face full of anger.

Before Xiao Feng could respond, Lu Xue'er gathered her spiritual power in her palms and swung them hard at Xiao Feng's head.

Seeing that Lu Xue'er attacked without saying a word, Xiao Feng summoned the Mountain and River Sword and used it to resist Lu Xue'er's determined move.

Those around noticed the two exchange a blow in the room and glared angrily at Lu Xue'er: "Are you crazy? We are all disciples of the Qing Sect, how dare you attack us?"

Lu Xue'er wasn't originally this angry; no one expected that someone would dare to gossip.

This time, Lu Xue'er turned her attention to her surroundings and unleashed a powerful palm strike at him.

Xiao Feng knew that Zhou Wei was no match for Lu Xue'er, so he flicked his finger at the Mountain and River Sword, and the sword landed beside Zhou Wei.

In an instant, a sword's cry rang out, and the spiritual energy that Lu Xue'er had just unleashed was blocked.

She was about to continue her attack when Xiao Feng's somewhat annoyed voice rang out: "Lu Xue'er, what exactly are you trying to do? If you're planning to cause trouble, I ask you to leave."

They were carrying out their training mission down the mountain according to their plan, and no one expected Lu Xue'er to pull this stunt.

When she heard that Xiao Feng intended to report what had happened here truthfully, her heart tightened for no reason.

If they were the ones who ultimately captured the demon beast, the sect leader and elders might not blame them.

If Xiao Feng and the others manage to capture the demon beast, Lu Xue'er will likely be punished.

Just as Lu Xue'er was pondering, Xiao Feng called out to those around him, "Let's go. If she follows us, write it down and report it to the sect leader."

All the teams have completely different missions, and Lu Xue'er has now come to Xiao Feng's mission location, clearly to cause trouble.

As the two of them left, Lu Xue'er slammed her hand hard against the pillar, unable to utter a single word.

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

Xiao Feng led the surrounding disciples to the ambush site from yesterday, and glanced at Shen Qingchen: "The demonic beasts will definitely come tonight, so be on your guard."

Now that there are no guards patrolling the city, the monsters will definitely cause them trouble.

Hearing their reminders, Shen Qingchen nodded solemnly, "We will do our best."

Xiao Feng looked at Shen Qingchen's serious face and walked up to her: "No matter what, you need to prioritize saving your own lives and make sure you don't get hurt."

The fact that the monster could leave right in front of them suggests that it was quite powerful.

Although Shen Qingchen had a way to keep up with the demonic beasts, her own strength was simply too weak.

If the demon beast intended to harm Shen Qingchen, she would have no way to resist it.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng led the other disciples back to their familiar seats and sat down.

Those around them glanced ahead with speechless expressions: "Are we going to have to stay here all night again?"

They hadn't encountered any monsters yesterday, and the group had sat there for so long, feeling incredibly miserable.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to answer, the people around him looked at him from behind with expressions of horror.

When he saw the expressions on the faces of those around him, he had basically figured it out. He quietly turned his head and immediately saw the monster sitting in the middle of the street.

At this moment, the disciples of the Azure Sect were ready, as if they could make a move at any moment.

Xiao Feng then gestured to them: "Try to drive the demonic beasts towards Shen Qingchen, so that they will be within our encirclement."

In his mind, as long as they didn't lose sight of the monster, they were guaranteed success; capturing it was just a matter of time.
