Chapter 209 New Mission

The Wind Chime Street was bustling with tourists.

When Luo Qingfeng arrived, he found that both banks of the river were already filled with lively crowds.

In the corner, there were monkey trainers, street performers, and all sorts of other things.

Several flower boats were moored on the riverbank, with drums and music playing, singing and dancing taking place. Many high-ranking officials and nobles boarded the boats to listen to music and watch the performances, while ordinary people watched the excitement from the riverbank.

The streets are filled with delicious food and fun activities, a dazzling array of options.

Luo Qingfeng led the group on a stroll, where they ate some snacks and bought some trinkets before heading back home.

Dong Miaomiao was still not satisfied, but she knew he needed to cultivate, so she didn't say anything, only muttering a few words under her breath.

Originally, Dong Miaomiao was going to take Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei back with him, but Luo Qingfeng sent them back to Ningguo Mansion first.

As she was leaving, Xiao Tao's eyebrows were filled with tears, and she was reluctant to part with her.

Dong Miaomiao pouted and continued muttering.

Luo Qingfeng ignored him and left with Aya.

After returning home, he went into his room and continued his cultivation.

Soon, strands of starlight penetrated through the roof and entered his body, causing the ten stars within him to shimmer slightly.

After one night.

Luo Qingfeng closed his eyes and checked his current data.

[Process: Three]

[Ten-Star Realm of Creation, Progress: 25]

The growth rate is extremely slow, of course, compared to before.

When will this growth rate be broken again? When will we be able to go to Snow God City to find Nightingale and the others?

He has to go do a mission to kill demons, otherwise he'll waste his first line of data.

After daybreak.

He got up, made breakfast, ate it, told Ah Ya, and then went out.

After arriving at the North Campus, he met Captain Wu Lan.

Wu Lan told him with a grave expression, "Last night, on the Lantern Festival, two more cases of demonic possession occurred in the city. In one case, two civilians lost their lives, and in the other..."

She paused, sighed, and said, "There's another case. A female disciple from our North Courtyard was killed by a demon. The demon devoured her entire body, leaving only a skeleton. I heard that female disciple was in your previous team; you should know her."

Luo Qingfeng's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "What's your name?"

Wu Lan shook her head: "I just heard about this news too, and I haven't asked about it yet. You should go ask the team yourself."

After thanking him, Luo Qingfeng quickly left and went to a training ground.

He first encountered Liang Feng and immediately inquired about the situation.

Liang Feng had clearly not heard about this before. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback and said with a grim expression, "Really? Senior Sister Wu really said that? Is it really one of our team's female disciples?"

Luo Qingfeng frowned and nodded.

The two men stood solemnly in the training ground, saying nothing more, waiting for the arrival of another group of disciples.

There are currently five female disciples in the group. Who could they be?

After a moment, Yang Liang and two other male disciples came over. Upon hearing the news, all three of them changed their expressions.

Liang Feng said worriedly, "Waiting like this isn't a solution. Not everyone will come here to cultivate; some are at home, and some are elsewhere. Let's go ask Elder Yan and the others."

The group nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Yang Mei and two other female disciples appeared. When they saw Luo Qingfeng behind them, Yang Mei immediately stopped, lowered her head, and dared not come closer.

The other two female disciples quickly came over to greet them.

Luo Qingfeng returned the greetings one by one, his heart growing even heavier.

Of the five female disciples, three have already appeared.

So, the female disciple who was killed by the demon last night was one of the other two female disciples.

He couldn't help but recall the girl who had been waiting at the gate last night, inviting him to go to the night market.

Just as the group was about to ask the elder, Zhang Cuicui suddenly appeared from a path not far away, still dressed in a bright green dress, but her face looked rather pale.

The group stopped immediately upon seeing her.

Luo Qingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is already quite clear: the woman killed by the demon last night was the remaining woman, named Sun Hui, who has not yet appeared.

Zhang Cuicui walked over and said in a heavy tone, "I have bad news for everyone. Last night, Senior Sister Sun was killed by a demon on her way back."

Everyone looked at her in silence.

Zhang Cuicui sensed something was off and was about to ask when Liang Feng sighed and said, "We know everything."

Then he recounted how Luo Qingfeng had come to inform him of the news earlier.

After listening, Zhang Cuicui looked at Luo Qingfeng beside her and asked, "Senior Brother Luo, do you suspect that the person who was murdered was me?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, but glanced at her right leg and asked, "Is your right leg injured?"

Although the girl's walking movements seemed no different from usual, Luo Qingfeng still noticed some subtle differences.

After his physical body broke through to the tenth level of the Heaven Opening Realm and his divine soul broke through to the level of the Object Control Realm, his eyesight and perception became even more acute.

Zhang Cuicui gave a wry smile and said, "Last night when I was going home, I encountered a stray dog ​​in the alley. As I passed by it, it suddenly bit me. Luckily, the bite wasn't deep."

"Stray dogs?"

Luo Qingfeng's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Where's that stray dog?"

Zhang Cuicui said, "They ran away after biting me. I was thinking about something at the time, so I wasn't on guard. I was startled, but I didn't chase after them."

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but recall the news he had heard yesterday, and quickly asked, "Did it draw blood? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

Zhang Cuicui said, "I bled, but I applied medicine when I got back. I feel fine now, and there's nothing that bothers me."

Luo Qingfeng, however, remained grave and said, "Junior Sister Zhang, I suggest you go to the Examination Department and have an elder examine you. In the past few days, there have been several incidents of people being killed by wild dogs in the city, and traces of demonic invasion and devouring have been found on the corpses. Although you are a cultivator and it is unlikely that you would be so easily invaded, it would still be best to have it checked."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuicui's expression immediately changed: "Really? That scary?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "That stray dog ​​is very likely a magical beast."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuicui turned pale and hurriedly said, "I'll go to the inspection department to find Elder Miao right now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Liang Feng and the others were also filled with surprise.

The group inquired whether there was any other news. Luo Qingfeng, whose knowledge was limited, recounted everything he had heard.

"Recently, things haven't been peaceful inside or outside the city; there are signs of monsters and demons everywhere..."

The group chatted for a while longer before dispersing.

Luo Qingfeng returned to his cave dwelling and began to seize the time to continue his cultivation.

A day passed quickly.

In the evening, Luo Qingfeng took a bath in his cave and was preparing to go home when he received a notice to gather at the training ground.

When he arrived at the training ground, Lin Yun and the others were already there.

Lin Yun came over to talk to him, and the others also greeted him.

A few moments later, the remaining people arrived.

When Huo Man came over, she stood specifically next to Luo Qingfeng, tossed her fiery red hair, and her aggressive aura disappeared. Her tone suddenly became gentle: "Do you have time tonight? Let's go out for dinner together."

This proud and domineering woman seems to have changed her style.

Luo Qingfeng said, "No."

Huo Man turned and glared at him, seemingly about to explode in anger, but then held back and smiled. "Then tomorrow night?"

Luo Qingfeng ignored her.

Huo Man couldn't hold back any longer and clenched his fists, ready to resort to violence.

Fortunately, Li Wenshan arrived at this moment and solemnly announced, "Tomorrow morning, everyone gather at the school gate to go to the Great Buddha Temple outside the city to rescue people."

"Save them?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Li Wenshan continued, "The Buddha's light at Dafosi Temple has vanished, and demons have invaded. Many of the monks in the temple have become demons, and some of my disciples are trapped inside. Your mission this time is exceptionally arduous. You need to slay the demons and rescue those trapped inside. Many traces of demonic beasts have also been discovered in the mountains and forests, and you may have to endure their attacks. This is a test for you, and also a trial."

He then explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

"Previously, you and your fellow disciples went to the mountains below the Great Buddha Temple to search for traces of demonic beasts. You accidentally discovered a monk devouring humans in the forest, and then you found that the Great Buddha Temple was surrounded by demonic energy and had been invaded by demons, but many monks were still kept in the dark..."

"After reporting to the academy, your fellow disciples disguised themselves as worshippers and entered the temple to investigate, but they all lost contact with us..."

Everyone listened carefully and felt that this incident was particularly serious.

After giving his instructions, Li Wenshan left in a hurry.

The group frowned, discussed for a while longer, and then left.

Before leaving, team leader Wu Lan reminded them again, "We must meet at the main gate before dawn tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

With things on his mind, Luo Qingfeng left the North Courtyard.

Zhang Cuicui was waiting at the main gate. Seeing him come out, she quickly said, "Senior Brother Luo, thanks to your reminder, I checked today. Elder Miao found demonic liquid in my wound. If it wasn't removed in time, it might have seeped into my body. Elder Miao took it very seriously and immediately sent people to find that stray dog..."

Luo Qingfeng's expression hardened, and he asked with concern, "Has the demonic liquid been completely removed?"

Zhang Cuicui nodded, her face full of gratitude, and said, "It's all cleared up, Senior Brother Luo. You saved me, thank you. Tonight..."

I have something to do tonight.

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingfeng interrupted.

"oh."

Zhang Cuicui said "Oh" and didn't continue.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to explain, "Something happened at the Great Buddha Temple outside the city. Our team needs to gather at the main gate before dawn tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuicui's expression changed slightly: "Senior Brother Luo, I've heard about this too. I heard several senior brothers went there and have lost contact. I also heard two deacons took disciples there and haven't come down the mountain. Will it be dangerous for your genius team to go?"

Luo Qingfeng said calmly, "Every mission has dangers. We can't just not go because there are dangers."

Zhang Cuicui said, "That's true."

Then she sighed and said, "It's a pity that my cultivation level is too low. I'm not qualified to go, nor can I help Senior Brother Luo."

The two walked onto the street while talking.

As they parted, Zhang Cuicui said with a worried expression, "Senior Brother Luo, you must come back soon. I'll be waiting for you. You saved me, and I still want to treat you to a meal."

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

After he left, Zhang Cuicui stood there for a while before letting out a soft sigh and walking down another street.

When Luo Qingfeng returned home, he saw a wisp of divine soul floating on the roof.
