Chapter 52 Demonic Cultivators

As the Qing Lu Sword Sect's young sect master, Song Tang very quickly heard the news about the demonic cultivators.

"Ye City's inner security is impenetrable. Most of the buildings have protection spells that can detect demonic cultivation. Moreover, they link directly with the City Lord. However, during the Flower Picking Festival, the base camps of each sect didn't have the same protection. The City Lord's people posited that demonic cultivators concealed their whereabouts and hid in one such place."

After conferring with the City Master's attendant, Song Tang notified the sect's disciples to coordinate with the black-armored guards for patrolling. He also explained the situation to Luo Mingchuan's trio.

"My sect is the host. Now that such a thing has happened in this city, we will not shirk our duty."

Luo Mingchuan frowned and said, "Is there anything that I can do to help? Do not hesitate to ask."

The demonic cultivators' reappearance was a major issue, not only for Ye City, but also for the entire Southern Continent.

Song Tang grimly replied, "Many thanks."

Luo Mingchuan, the head disciple of Cang Ya Mountain, was currently a mid-stage Lesser Vessel cultivator. Whether it was position or cultivation realm, both were reassuring for people. If he joined the city's patrol groups, he could stabilize the situation, further ensuring the safety of the civilians inside of the city.

Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan originally wanted to help, but they acknowledged their cultivations were insufficient, deciding that it would be better not to cause any trouble. Thus they brought the black-armored guards back to Lake Qiu, and accepted inspection by their own accord.

The young captain took a talisman paper and tested for demonic traces, and when leaving he politely thanked them.

After breakthrough, cultivators' five senses became even more acute. The two could clearly hear them quietly converse by Lake Qiu.

"Didn't expect that this time would actually go so smoothly."

"Yeah, with regard to the great sects, the difference in sect principles is really too big!"

Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan listened for a while, but they still did not understand. It seemed like...they were inexplicably being commended.

They didn't know that the city guards had first gone to the courtyard by Xinshui Bridge.

They had barely stated their purpose, when the disciple that opened the door hurriedly said,

"Our sect is the great Zong School; you dare suspect that we harbour demonic cultivators!"

The platoon captain innocently replied, "Of course not."

The Bao Pu Sect disciple imperiously declared, "Then for what reason do you inspect us?! Clearly you doubt us! This bullying has gone too far!"

The young captain didn't know how to explain, "This... every place will be checked."

"Nonsense! What is the purpose of you people?!"

"..."

There was no way to communicate.

Finally, one of the Ye City's attendants came, and only then did they solve this problem.

Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan arrived at the city center, wanting to see if they could find any clues.

Compared to before, when the flow of people was like the tides, the streets were now emptied a lot more. Yet there still wasn't a large-scale panic; the stores and restaurants on the main street were still open and welcoming guests. The black-armored guards solemnly patrolled the great streets and little alleyways, gazes sharp as a blade.
