Chapter 37: The Strange Yuehua City
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hiss!
Upon seeing Chu Feng's terrifying battle accomplishments, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
"How terrifying, how terrifying. If it were me, I would have no chance of surviving!"
"Is this the Dao Technique Wind Blade?"
"Impossible, how can the wind blades be so terrifying?"
"So powerful. Is this a sect disciple?"
"Damn it, I suspect we were dealing with different enemies!"
"Sigh, I've indeed become old. I can't even deal with this kind of zombie!"
"Is this the difference between us?"
…
At this moment, the Yuehua City Lord's expression could not help but change.
Everything in front of him had exceeded his expectations.
He did not expect the person in front of him to be so strong.
Even the Star Luo Sect cultivators who came to Yuehua City earlier did not have half of this person's strength!
Thinking up to this point, the City Lord hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Immortal Master is indeed powerful. The tens of thousands of citizens of Yuehua City can be saved!"
"That's right. Immortal Master is too powerful. If not for you, we would all have died today!"
"I didn't expect the demon to be so powerful. However, with Immortal Master here, he won't be able to escape!"
"Immortal Master, we have offended you in the past. Please accept our apology."
…
Chu Feng glanced at them but didn't say anything.
However, their strength greatly disappointed Chu Feng.
He didn't expect them to be so weak!
Their strength was even worse than the lecherous demon from before.
To dare to get involved in this mess with such strength was simply courting death!
In truth, Chu Feng didn't know that compared to sect disciples, it was difficult for lone cultivators.
It was fine if they had no weapons or Dao Techniques, but most of the cultivation techniques the lone cultivators had were even incomplete.
Under such circumstances, for them to still be able to walk the path of cultivation, they needed to have unyielding perseverance.
…
"Immortal Master, are you going to chase him?" The city lord asked.
Chu Feng shook his head. The situation was unclear and the city was dark. It was easy for him to injure someone innocent. Therefore, he couldn't give chase.
Hence, he said, "Have a good rest tonight. We'll see how it goes tomorrow."
Everyone had been shocked by the event tonight.
With so many people dead, they no longer had the high spirits they had during the day.
As such, they no longer clamored about killing people. Instead, they found a random place to sit down and wait for dawn to arrive.
Time passed by in a flash, and dawn arrived.
The demon seemed to have been frightened by Chu Feng's strength and didn't come to assassinate people again.
Everyone heaved a huge sigh of relief.
After dawn, everyone started looking for a place to rest.
Chu Feng stepped out.
"Immortal Master, where are you going?" The City Lord asked.
"I'm going to take a look around the city," Chu Feng said.
"Why don't you take a rest and have breakfast before you go?" the City Lord advised.
Chu Feng shook his head and walked out.
He had his own reasons for coming out now.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and it was precisely the time when the demonic qi would settle down.
If Chu Feng was lucky, he might be able to catch a trace of the demonic aura's tail and drag it out.
After leaving the City Lord's manor, Chu Feng chased after the demonic aura in the sky.
But it soon disappeared.
Chu Feng had no choice but to look around.
It was early in the morning and many people woke up early.
Chu Feng strolled leisurely. The spiritual energy in his eyes shifted slightly as he looked around.
There was something wrong with these people.
There was a very faint demonic aura on their body.
What exactly happened in this city?
Why were there so many ordinary people with demonic aura on them?
Chu Feng walked past an alley where a man was lying on the ground.
Chu Feng looked over and saw that this person's demonic aura was even stronger.
Then, he walked up and removed the robe covering his face.
This person's face was deathly pale, and his entire body was icy cold while his limbs were stiff. Obviously, he'd been dead for a long time.
Did he freeze to death?
Chu Feng guessed.
Then, he shook his head. This person wasn't a beggar and there wasn't any obvious smell of alcohol. There was no reason for him to die here.
It looks like it was caused by the demonic qi!
After that, Chu Feng continued walking. In a short half an hour, he had walked through half the city.
What he did not expect was that everyone he saw had demonic qi on them!
Seeing this, Chu Feng knew that there was something wrong with this city.
Then, he flew onto a tower and looked around.
The entire city was filled with visible demonic qi.
Then Chu Feng looked towards the City Lord's manor.
To his surprise, there was no trace of demonic qi in the City Lord manor.
This made no sense.
The City Lord manor was in the middle of the entire city.
If the whole city had been infected with demonic qi, how could the City Lord's manor escape unscathed?
Could this be the reason why the black shadow wanted to attack the City Lord's manor yesterday night?
This did not make sense.
The City Lord was only at the Eighth level of Qi Refinement.
With that black shadow's strength, killing the City Lord was as easy as slaughtering a pig. How could he possibly camp there to assassinate the City Lord?
Chu Feng shook his head but couldn't think of an answer.
However, in his heart, he kept an eye on everyone in the City Lord manor.
Afterward, Chu Feng walked towards the City Lord manor. He wanted to ask what happened to Yuehua City during this period of time.
After returning to the City Lord manor, the bloodstains from the night before had already been cleaned by the servants.
Those cultivators who were sitting in the main hall hurriedly went up to welcome Chu Feng upon seeing him return.
"Immortal Master, have you discovered anything?"
Chu Feng nodded and then looked at the City Lord in front of him. "Everyone in the city seems to have demonic qi on them. Do you know about this?"
"Demonic qi? Everyone?"
Chu Feng's words were like a heavy bomb. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you sure?"
"That's impossible, right? Could it be that the people inside the city are all from the demon race?"
"That's impossible. They weren't like that when I had just arrived. Did something happen again?"
"This won't do! We have to leave as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the demonic qi erupts, we'll all die!!"
…
Chu Feng ignored them and looked at the City Lord.
At this moment, the City Lord revealed a trace of panic after hearing Chu Feng's words.
However, he quickly suppressed it and said with a pitiful expression, "Impossible, impossible. How could this be? There are tens of thousands of people here. Is this demon so cruel?"
With that said, he couldn't help but shed a few tears.
A few cultivators at the side hurriedly advised.
"City Lord, this demon has an unknown origin. I'm afraid he's not that easy to deal with. Leave quickly!"
"That's right. As long as there's life, there's hope. After we leave, we can ask the sect to send a Foundation Establishment cultivator down. At that time, we'll definitely be able to take down the demon!"
"City Lord, don't be too sad! This is a demon. He is in the dark and it is impossible to guard against him. I believe you will not be blamed if you report this to the Imperial Court!"
"It's only a matter of time before ordinary people die from the demonic qi infection. There's nothing we can do about it. We should leave as soon as possible!"
…
The City Lord looked at the people around him who were advising him and couldn't help but shake his head. A few drops of tears flowed out of his eyes as he said, "Everyone, I was the one who dragged all of you down. It was my fault. You should leave quickly. As the City Lord, I will stay here even if I die!"
