As the city defenders dragged out the entire name of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng began searching his memories and vaguely felt that his original self was a member of that family.
The city guard looked at Xiao Feng, who was standing there in a daze, and sighed: "The Xiao family is the largest family in our Zili Kingdom's Never-Sleeping City."
What's most terrifying about the Xiao family isn't just their power, but also their intricate relationships with officials of all ranks.
If you offend even one member of the Xiao family, the rest of the Xiao family might come out to deal with you.
By then, the defenders of the city will have no way to defeat the Xiao family.
The city garrison commander glanced at the county magistrate subconsciously: "So you'd better let them go. I've already called our men away."
Now, the only people guarding the county magistrate are Xiao Feng's men.
Once the Qingzong disciples left their vicinity, the magistrate was considered to have regained his freedom.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then glanced around and said, "Go tell the Qingzong disciple to deliberately let him leave. Let's see what kind of reinforcements he can find."
Now that the city that never sleeps is their territory, I'm sure the magistrate won't suffer in silence.
Hearing that Xiao Feng wanted to let the person go, those around him gritted their teeth and walked over with a face full of resentment.
Among the disciples of the Qing Sect, only Xiao Feng knew what he was doing.
If the magistrate summons someone from the Xiao family, that person might recognize him, and then he would know who the magistrate really is.
The city guard watched as Xiao Feng released the people, nodded in satisfaction, and glanced back at his guards: "You few stay with them and protect their safety."
Although the Qingzong disciples are far stronger than them, the city defenders will still need to fulfill their duties as hosts.
Since they had been invited in advance, they had a private room at an inn in the city.
Xiao Feng led the group into the inn, and the two sat in a room.
Within this city, they didn't have to worry about encountering people like those from shady shops.
Nowadays, the guards at the gate are there to protect them.
One of them gathered spiritual energy in his palm and slammed it hard on the table, his face full of anger: "We finally caught them, why did you let them go?"
Xiao Feng looked at the angry faces around him, walked up to him, and laughed loudly: "I let him go for a reason. Let's see who he can bring."
If he really was the Xiao family member he had imagined, the magistrate's fate would only be more tragic than it is now.
Conversely, if the county magistrate is not backed by the Xiao family as he thought, then his entire family could be uprooted by him.
If you're going to cut the weeds, you have to nip them in the bud. Otherwise, once they leave, the magistrate will surely continue to harm others, which would be a losing proposition.
Those around him, hearing Xiao Feng's explanation, understood that he didn't really intend to let the others go, and smiled: "Oh, I see, haha."
Xiao Feng, looking at the rapid changes in the surroundings as if by magic, kicked him with a speechless expression: "Get some rest, we still need to find that monster tonight."
Without a good mental state, their reaction time would be half a beat slower, how could they possibly deal with that monster?
Before we knew it, half a day had passed.
As dusk fell, the city guard arrived at the inn as promised and found Xiao Feng and his group resting in their room.
When Xiao Feng saw the city guards arrive at their room, he looked at them with a serious expression and asked, "Did that monster come out and attack you?"
The city garrison commander nodded with a grim expression: "Yes, that monster attacked our patrol team. Come with us and take a look."
Knowing they had no chance of catching monsters in the past, they figured they might as well bring the Qingzong people with them.
Xiao Feng greeted those around him, giving them the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to assemble the group.
The disciples of the Azure Sect all came together, so there was no reason for one or two people to be left alone inside to rest.
Seeing that the Qingzong disciples were ready, the city guard said to them, "Thank you for your hard work. If you can capture the monster, I will throw a grand banquet."
Now, the city that never sleeps has lost its spirit because of that monster.
Xiao Feng did not respond to the city guard, but instead addressed the surrounding Qingzong disciples, saying, "Everyone, be alert. That demonic beast should be quite skilled in speed."
In his eyes, there was no reason for the monster to leave in front of them; it was very likely that it had used its speed advantage to leave beforehand.
The disciples of the Qing Sect exchanged glances and quickly gathered together, fearing that a demonic beast might suddenly appear before them.
In the Azure Sect, all their fights are limited to a point.
After they left the Azure Sect, everyone's life was in danger.
Seeing that the Qingzong disciples were all ready, Xiao Feng followed behind the city guard and the group wandered the streets.
The people around looked on with surprise: "If we just wander around the streets, will that monster come out?"
The city garrison commander heard their question and nodded slightly: "From what we know, monsters like to target our lone patrol teams."
Today, their numbers are roughly the same as those of the patrol teams.
If any monsters appear, I'm sure he'll cause trouble.
Xiao Feng looked around intently, not even noticing the slightest hint of something strange.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing them all to turn their gazes back.
Several of the city's guards were knocked down by the monster, and their bodies were covered in hideous and terrifying scars.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qingzong disciples acted based on muscle memory, these guards would have all died here.
The city guard and Xiao Feng approached the guards at the same time, glanced around, and asked, "Have you seen what the monster looks like?"
When the guard heard them asking him, he shook his head in fear: "We just felt a force hit us and then we lay down."
All the guards gave the same answer; not one of them could see what the monster looked like.
The city guard looked at Xiao Feng with a helpless expression: "You see? We have no way to catch the monster."
Xiao Feng carefully scanned his surroundings, and the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique slowly rose from his body, trying to use his spiritual power to locate the demon beast.
The power of the third level of the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique shocked many people present. They did not expect that Xiao Feng had actually mastered the Qi Refining Technique to the third level.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he withdrew his spiritual power, his face full of confusion: "I didn't see it, that's a bit strange."
The demon beast had just dealt with the city guards, so he should have been nearby.
No one expected that the spiritual energy scan would find nothing, leaving him unable to calm down, fearing that the demonic beast would reappear.
