Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

When Song Xun and Yun Zhou arrived, all the city's guards and disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were on patrol. Upon seeing Yun Zhou arrive, the city's supervisor hurriedly stepped forward.

"Master Yun, you've finally arrived."

The position of "Zhuli" was a special official post created by the imperial court for cities jointly managed with the imperial clan, and its position was roughly equivalent to that of a county magistrate.

"Manager Zhuang, what's the current situation?"

"The demon is still in hiding. The garrison and your sect's disciples are searching for him, but so far they have not been able to find him."

"It seems this demon is quite clever. By the way, this is Song Xun, the trusted peak master of Qingxuan Peak in my Beast Taming Sect."

"I've long heard of Peak Master Song's heroic youth, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary."

As a court official, Zhuang Wen was naturally exceptional in his eloquence. As he spoke, he bowed to Song Xun.

"Manager Zhuang, have you found the source of the demon's origin?"

"The source has been found; it was the blood of a demonic cultivator who was contaminated by that commoner and subsequently became a demon."

"Because he killed civilians and drank their blood for several days in a row, he has now evolved to the Nascent Soul stage."

It seems there are demonic cultivators active in or near Yanbei City, Song Xun pondered quietly.

"Has the blood of the demonic cultivator been properly disposed of? Make sure no new demons are created."

"Rest assured, Peak Master Yun, that area has been sealed off and purified, but the demonic cultivator's whereabouts have not yet been found."

"It's alright. Demonic cultivators have many strange methods. It's fine if you can't find them."

Yunzhou waved his hand, then took out a high-level tracking talisman and handed it to a disciple beside him, instructing him to imprint the demon's aura onto it.

Such advanced tracking talismans also exist in Yanbei City, but the effects they bring will naturally differ depending on the cultivator's level.

A demon at the Nascent Soul stage would naturally require a cultivator of a higher level to use a tracking talisman to find it.

Soon, the duty disciple of Yanbei City brought over the tracking talisman. Yun Zhou silently recited the activation incantation and then infused it with spiritual power. Soon, the tracking talisman floated up and flew towards the south of the city.

"Peak Master Song, come with me to take a look. Manager Zhuang can stay here."

As a civil official, Zhuang Wen's cultivation level was naturally not high, so his going there would only cause more trouble.

The cloud boat carried Song Xun and Huang Bulang, taking off directly into the air to pursue the tracking talisman, with the soldiers and disciples following closely behind.

Following the tracking talisman, the two quickly arrived at a small courtyard in the south of the city. The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and from the outside, one would only assume that the family was afraid to go out in order to avoid the demons.

Interestingly, ordinary demons usually release a great deal of demonic energy, but the demon that appeared this time did not show much demonic energy. It was precisely because of this that the garrison of Yanbei City and the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect did not detect it immediately.

Something was off; that was Song Xun and Yun Zhou's first impression.

"It seems this is probably not just a matter of a single Nascent Soul Realm demon."

As Yunzhou spoke, he handed a necklace to Song Xun.

"Peak Master Song, if I get caught up in the battle later, I might not be able to protect you. This magic artifact is the Golden Light Shield Necklace, which can help you resist a lot of attacks."

"If you find that things are not going well, Peak Master Song can simply retreat and go find reinforcements."

"Thank you very much, Peak Master Yun!"

Song Xun accepted the golden light shield necklace and put it on. Although Yun Zhou still thought he was a scoundrel, he was actually a very good person.

Once the two were ready, Yunzhou summoned his beast, the Azure Cloud Leopard, a creature with Earth-level bloodline. As soon as the Azure Cloud Leopard appeared, Song Xun felt Yunzhou's aura surge wildly.

Then, the Azure Cloud Leopard charged directly into the courtyard. It seemed that the pressure released by the Azure Cloud Leopard caused the restrictions in the courtyard to collapse, and in an instant, demonic energy soared into the sky and overflowed.

Sure enough, someone had set up a shielding barrier here, allowing this courtyard to remain hidden.

Qingyun Leopard led the way, followed by Yunzhou and Song Xun. After entering the courtyard, the demons inside the house seemed to sense their arrival and all activated their berserk mode.

All the demons surged out, and Song Xun looked closely and saw that there were a total of eight demons.

From the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, they all stared at Song Xun and Yun Zhou in the center of the courtyard with bloodlust and rage.

"Peak Master Song, be careful."

Yunzhou turned back and gave a word of advice, then ordered the Azure Cloud Leopard to charge towards the demon with the highest cultivation level, the Nascent Soul Realm, while he himself charged towards the demon beside him.

Yun Zhou himself possessed the combat power of the early Nascent Soul Realm, and after exchanging a glance, Song Xun and Huang Bulang also joined the battle.

At this moment, the soldiers and disciples of the Beast Taming Sect from Yanbei City had arrived. All of them were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, for some reason, another restriction was suddenly activated in the courtyard.

Everyone was trapped outside and unable to enter. At this moment, they were all attacking the barrier with all their might, trying to get in and help.

"I was careless."

Yunzhou naturally noticed the situation as well. The two of them were now trapped in the courtyard and unable to escape, so they could only fight against the demon.

Although the Azure Cloud Leopard was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, it still struggled greatly when facing four demons at the same time.

As the battle intensified, the restrictions within the courtyard suddenly tightened, instantly suppressing the combat power of both Qingyun Leopard and Huang Bulang.

"Damn it, this is coming for us. They've even set up a restriction to suppress the demon race."

Originally, Song Xun's side had the upper hand on the battlefield, but as Qingyun Leopard and Huang Bulang's combat power was suppressed, the situation instantly reversed.

The Azure Cloud Leopard fought alongside the four demons but was no match for them. It retreated and transformed into a beastman with a leopard's head and a human body, standing side by side with the Cloud Boat.

The Daoist lineage cultivated by Yunzhou and Qingyunbao is the Great Dao of Power. At this moment, Yunzhou is in charge of the true meaning of gravity, which can amplify the surrounding gravitational magnetic field and suppress the opponent.

At this moment, Yunzhou also activated the gravity magnetic field, instantly suppressing the speed of the demons in the courtyard, but they were outnumbered after all.

Song Xun and the others continued to retreat in defeat. At the last moment, a Nascent Soul Realm demon suddenly pounced on Yun Zhou, who was entangled in a battle with another demon and could not dodge in time.

Clang! A collision sound rang out.

Song Xun used short-range teleportation to instantly move to Yun Zhou's side and block the attack for him. Song Xun only felt that his tiger's mouth was hurting from the shock and there were already bloodstains.

"No, we'll definitely lose if this continues," Song Xun said to Yun Zhou.

"Master Yun, to catch the thief, first catch the king. Huang Bulang and I will distract that Nascent Soul demon, while you have Qingyun Leopard seize the opportunity to strike and kill him."

Yunzhou, who had just recovered from the demon's sneak attack, nodded in approval.

Subsequently, Song Xun and Huang Bulang were of one mind and simultaneously used teleportation anchor on the Nascent Soul Realm demon, preparing to launch an attack.

Unbeknownst to them, several demonic cultivators were secretly observing them from the shadows.
