Everyone looked at Xiao Feng as he led them here, their faces full of incomprehension, wondering why he had brought them here.
Xiao Feng glanced at the Qingzong disciples present and pointed at Shen Qingchen: "Tonight, Shen Qingchen is leading a few people to set up an ambush here. Remember, you cannot confront them head-on."
Although they are fast, their true strength is only that of a first-level cultivator.
If they were to appear before the demonic beasts, they would all surely die at their hands.
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng was willing to let him lead a team on his own, Shen Qingchen pointed at herself with a look of shock: "Let me lead a team by myself? 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.
However, only Shen Qingchen can perform this task; no one else has the authority to do so.
To prevent the Qingzong disciples from ignoring Shen Qingchen's words, Xiao Feng deliberately walked up to them and gave them a serious look.
"I'm telling you to listen to Shen Qingchen, do you have any objections?"
The disciples of the Azure Sect exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections whatsoever.
Now, the city's defenders are riding on their heads.
If they don't bring the monster's corpse to the city's garrison commander, they won't be able to clear their names.
Xiao Feng had thought that some of the Qing Sect disciples would try to sabotage him, but to his surprise, they all agreed with him.
Since that was the case, Xiao Feng had no further objections. He pointed around and said, "Bring the other disciples with me. We'll wait for their information from the side."
Only if Shen Qingchen sees the demonic beast will they have a chance to take action.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to find the location of the monsters, and would just be wandering around aimlessly on the street.
Xiao Feng originally planned to let the city guards rest in the city for a day, but the city guards ignored them and arranged for the men to leave on their own.
As night fell, the disciples of the Qingzong sect sat on the second floor of the inn, with a crack in the window, staring intently at the street.
Seeing Xiao Feng staring intently outside, someone involuntarily approached him and asked, "Do you think... if we just stay here and watch, the demonic beasts will really come?"
Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly: "I don't know either. The timing of monster appearances isn't up to me."
To make sure he hadn't missed Shen Qingchen's voice, he quickly reminded those around him, "Don't talk, we need to listen carefully so we don't mishear."
They didn't even change their positions all night; they stayed in the same spot.
However, Shen Qingchen's voice never came, making Xiao Feng think that the demon beast had already discovered them.
Xiao Feng arrived at Shen Qingchen's location, shaking his head with a helpless expression: "It seems the demon beast discovered we were lying in wait for him, so it's impossible for him to come."
Before she could respond, a voice came from inside the city: "Something has happened at the East Gate; many guards have died 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 the case."
At this point, he turned his gaze to Shen Qingchen and found that she was also full of surprise.
From beginning to end, she had no idea that a monster had appeared there, so there was no way anyone could have died.
Just then, someone walked up from behind and stood in front of Xiao Feng: "What should we do? Should we go with them over there and take a look?"
Xiao Feng glanced at the surrounding people and the Qingzong disciples, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, we are responsible for the corpses found in the city. Let's go and take a look."
He walked at the very front of the procession and personally led the group to the east gate of the city.
At this moment, the city garrison commander was squatting in front of a row of guards, his face full of resentment.
"How long will it take you to catch the monsters in the city? Look how many of us have died!"
Xiao Feng ignored the city guards and instead led Zhou Wei and Shen Qingchen to the dead guards.
The guards all had the same expression: wide-eyed, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying in their last moments.
Seeing the dead bodies of these people, someone approached Xiao Feng and reminded him, "These people... must have all died at the hands of that demonic beast."
Xiao Feng didn't need their reminders; he could tell just by looking at their faces that they had all died at the hands of demonic beasts.
Just then, the city guard came up to Xiao Feng and grabbed him by the collar: "I'm asking you, when exactly are you going to bring the monster back?"
Seeing that the city guard was about to make a move, he shoved the city guard away forcefully, his face full of anger: "You can talk things out."
Other Qingzong disciples stepped forward, drawing their weapons, clearly ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
The city guard, watching his own guards confront the Qingzong disciples, couldn't help but wave at them: "You really have some tricks up your sleeve, huh? You can't beat the demon beasts, so you're attacking us?"
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a familiar shout came from the side, drawing everyone's attention to the city.
A group of people dressed in identical clothes walked over with smiles on their faces and stood in front of them.
The city garrison commander, realizing he had never seen them before, frowned slightly: "Who are you? Not just anyone can come to our City of Never Sleeps."
Originally, Zi Li Kingdom was heavily guarded, and ordinary people had no chance to come inside.
However, Zi Li Kingdom has recently lost a lot of guards, resulting in few available guards at the city gate.
Taking advantage of the moment when the guards were not on duty, Lu Xue'er actually led the Qingzong disciples to sneak in through the gate.
The group, their faces filled with surprise, took two steps forward and glanced at Xiao Feng: "Why are they here? Could it be that their mission is the same as ours?"
Listening to the analysis around him, Xiao Feng shook his head with a look of surprise: "How could they be the same? The Qing Sect has never arranged the same mission before."
Now, there are only two possibilities for Lu Xue'er to come to their side.
The first possibility is that Lu Xue'er came here on purpose to mock them, thinking that they were incapable of completing the task here.
The second possibility is that Lu Xue'er has already completed the task assigned to her by Qingzong and is simply here to watch the show.
After Xiao Feng's analysis, he felt that Lu Xue'er was highly likely to be the second type.
The tasks assigned to them by the Qing Sect must always be their top priority; otherwise, if the Qing Sect elders and sect leader find out that they have wasted time on such matters, their training will be considered a failure.
Just then, Lu Xue'er walked up to the city guard and chuckled, "I can help you solve the problems inside the city. You can trust our strength."
