Chapter 392: The Fall of Qingfeng City!
Lin Fengmian studied the map for a while, got his bearings, and quickly flew towards Qingfeng City.
On the way, he took out a Heavenly Deception Sect disciple’s uniform from his storage bag and put it on. He then used his Thousand Illusions Technique to change his appearance to that of the disciple he had seen earlier.
With a flick of his body, he transformed into a Heavenly Deception Sect disciple and headed towards Qingfeng City with confidence.
The Thousand Illusions Technique could deceive even higher level cultivators, and as long as he wasn’t facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, no one could see through his disguise.
On the way, Lin Fengmian encountered many Heavenly Deception Sect disciples, some in groups of three or five, while others were alone.
For these people, as long as they weren’t a group of Core Formation Realm cultivators, he would approach them using his disguised identity and kill them with a single strike before quickly leaving.
He traveled and killed, making good progress, but his mood was far from joyful. Instead, he felt increasingly anxious.
From the situation on the way, it seemed that Qingfeng City was in a dire state!
A day later, Lin Fengmian looked at the battered Qingfeng City, with smoke still rising from within, and his hands and feet turned cold.
Qingfeng City had fallen!
As Lin Fengmian approached, a group of disciples from the Heavenly Deception Sect flew towards him.
There were five of them in total, all looking disheveled and injured, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle.
The leader, a Core Formation Realm cultivator, looked at Lin Fengmian and asked loudly, “Which peak are you from, brother? Why are you alone?”
Lin Fengmian quickly flew over, took out his token, and bowed, “Gui Du Peak’s Ju Ming pays his respects to the senior brothers.”
“I was separated from my fellow brothers and happened to come to this side. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
The other party took the token and examined it, showing no signs of suspicion, and nodded, “You’re Ju Ming, I’m Li Yuming from the Inner Gate’s Chonghua Peak.”
“Since you’re alone and it’s a special time, we’re short handed. You can follow us for now.”
Lin Fengmian wanted to sneak into the city to take a look and nodded, “Yes, thank you, Brother Li, for taking me in.”
Li Yuming seemed to be in a bad mood with a cold expression and said, “Alright, follow us into the city and search for the Joyful Union Sect’s female cultivator. Let’s see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.”
Lin Fengmian hastily bowed, “Yes!”
He didn’t dare ask any questions, and followed Li Yuming and the others as they flew over the city, using his Divine Sense to scan the area.
From high above, he saw that the doors and windows of every household in Qingfeng City were closed, and there wasn’t a single person on the streets.
The city was filled with signs of magical battles, and many houses had been destroyed, but it was unknown what had happened to the people inside.
Lin Fengmian looked anxiously toward the outskirts of the city where his parents lived and felt extremely worried, but he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.
After all, there were three other patrol teams like theirs in the city, with a total of over a dozen people, including three Core Formation Realm cultivators.
Even if he could handle one Core Formation Realm cultivator, he couldn’t take on three, along with over a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Moreover, he didn’t know if Liu Mei and the others had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Deception Sect, so he had to bide his time.
After a rough search, the three Core Formation Realm cultivators met and decided to split into pairs and search the city house by house.
After all, the divine sense of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could only reach about ten meters, so they couldn’t search too far and had to get close.
Lin Fengmian was paired with a cultivator named Li Hao, and they were assigned to search the outskirts of the city.
Li Hao was a fat man who loved to talk, and his cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, making him someone Lin Fengmian was confident he could take down with a single sword strike.
At this moment, Li Hao didn’t know that he was standing next to a God of Death who was chatting with him in a friendly manner, bragging about his own heroic deeds.
Lin Fengmian was worried about the situation and didn’t know what had happened, so he intentionally guided the conversation, occasionally flattering Li Hao.
“Brother Li, I am new here and do not know what is going on in the city. Why are you all injured and look like you just came from the battlefield?”
Li Hao sighed and said, “You’re right, brother. This Qingfeng City has just been breached this morning.”
” That Cao Cheng’an is a second-generation young master, and I don’t know what deep grudge he has with these female cultivators. As soon as he arrived, he had us fight to the death to take over the city”.
“We fought for a whole day and night, and many of our fellow disciples died. Finally, we broke through the female cultivators’ formation and entered the city.
“We didn’t know that those female cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect are not only skilled in bed, but also on the battlefield.”
“One of them used a zither, and as soon as she started playing, we couldn’t help but think about…ahem…and lost our will to fight.”
Li Hao said indignantly, “We were trying to fight, but it was like we were holding our guns up and those female cultivators were… ahem… taking advantage of us.”
“The other two female cultivators, one with a sword and the other with a crescent moon blade, took advantage of our weakness and suddenly attacked. It was a bloody mess, with heads rolling and arms flying everywhere!”
“If I weren’t so skilled in my Dao, I would have died like those unlucky ones, and I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the… ahem… hospitality of the Joyful Union Sect female cultivators.”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes flashed with a cold light, but he smiled and said, “The female cultivators may be powerful, but they were still defeated by brothers. It’s clear that brothers are the stronger ones.”
“It’s a pity that I came too late and didn’t get to see your heroic deeds. I wonder if all the female cultivators were captured by us?”
Li Hao smiled proudly and said, “You’re a smooth talker, brother. Except for two Core Formation Realm female cultivators who escaped, all the other female cultivators were captured by us.”
Lin Fengmian was surprised and said, “Two of them actually escaped?”
Li Hao became angry and said, “Yes, they were the ones who used the zither and the sword. That Cao Cheng’an scolded us for it.”
Lin Fengmian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan hadn’t fallen into Cao Cheng’an’s hands. He just didn’t know if any of the captured Joyful Union Sect disciples were his acquaintances.
“Brother Li, why bother with this second-generation young master? You were able to return from the battlefield unscathed, and you will surely achieve great things in the future.”
Li Hao was delighted by Lin Fengmian’s flattery and patted him on the back, saying, “You’re lucky, brother. If you had arrived one day earlier, you might have died.”
Lin Fengmian pretended to be excited and rubbed his hands together, saying, “It’s all thanks to luck. We finished the battle, and now I get to enjoy the… ahem… hospitality of the Joyful Union Sect female cultivators.”
Lin Fengmian asked, “But brother, if we’re patrolling here, doesn’t that mean that no one is watching the Joyful Union Sect female cultivators? Aren’t you afraid that they will escape?”
Li Hao waved his hand and said, “No way, Cao Cheng’an is watching them with two Core Formation Realm brothers.”
“That’s why Brother Li is so unhappy. He was kicked out to patrol by that second generation young master.”
Li Hao cursed and said, “Damn it, we risked our lives to take the city, and that kid is hiding in the city playing with the female cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect.”
Lin Fengmian agreed with Li Hao’s words, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Given Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan’s personalities, they wouldn’t give up on the Joyful Union Sect disciples in the city easily.
He had to take care of the Heavenly Deception Sect disciples in the city before Liu Mei and Chen Qingyan threw themselves into the fray.
