Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Catching Demons Outside the Domain (Part 1)

After Long Fei left, Chu Feng and his group hurriedly surrounded him.

They had seen Long Fei enter with the old Daoist and were terrified, fearing something had happened to him.

The Jade Dragon Sect was finished. There had been a fight just now, those who died fled, and the entire sect was now empty.

Lin Shanshan anxiously asked, "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Long Fei smiled and shook his head, then briefly explained what had happened inside the cavern to everyone.

The group listened with wide eyes, astonished by the unexpected opportunity.

Ji Wanyu said, "You mean, there are still two unparalleled divine items in this cave?"

Long Fei nodded and replied, "Yes, the Nourishing Soul Lotus and the Enlightenment Tea Leaves both have the effect of calming and awakening the mind. If kept close, they would definitely be of great benefit."

Ji Wanyu exclaimed, "Then let’s quickly dig them out!"

Long Fei shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, digging there is life-threatening. Just now, three Nascent Soul Realm experts were flattened to death with a slap. I suspect this Earth Immortal hasn’t actually passed away but exists within the Nourishing Soul Lotus as a special energy form. Just now I picked a few extra leaves, and almost got the old man to slap me to death."

Everyone laughed then urged Long Fei to quickly take out the tea leaves to look at them.

Each one bore the look of greedy landlords dividing up fields.

Long Fei took out a jar and gave each of them a leaf.

He hadn’t picked many, as the old man inside was quite stingy.

According to his plan, he had intended to dig up the entire tea tree.

The tea leaves looked similar to ordinary ones, but they had natural cracks filled with Dao, resembling symbols.

They treasured the leaves, planning to sit down and brew them when they had the time.

Long Fei turned around and bowed toward the collapsed cave.

This place had reshaped his worldview, giving him a new understanding of this world.

It was getting late, and Long Fei did not want to waste time in the competition, so he had everyone sweep through the Jade Dragon Sect once.

Everything they could take was carried away, and the herb garden was nearly dug up along with the soil, similar to a locust plague passing.

Fortunately, Long Fei had plenty of Storage Rings to store everything.

He hadn’t had time to study the Storage Rings obtained from the bodies, planning to look at them later.

After they left, the disciples of the Thirty-Six Cavern Dwellings and the escaped disciples of the Jade Dragon Sect returned.

The group looked stunned at the broken sect, all the Elders were dead, and the Sect Leader had been killed.

Someone shouted, "Mount Shu bandits, truly deserve a bad death."

"Yes, we should demand an explanation from the Mount Shu Sect."

"Forget it, we couldn’t even beat their disciples, let alone confront them at their door— we’d be completely massacred!"

The group debated disheartedly, frustrated and helpless.

During the battle, Long Fei had impersonated the title of Mu Qing, a Disciple of Mount Shu Elder.

Everyone thought that Long Fei was a disciple of Mount Shu.

A disciple who had returned shouted anxiously, "Not good, elder brother, our herb garden has been completely emptied."

Another followed, crying out, "Oh my God, our Pill Room has been cleared out too, even the Alchemy Furnaces were taken away."

"And the Scripture Pavilion, it’s completely empty, all gone."

"These rotten thieves, dying is too good for them!"

Someone cursed, grinding their teeth with hatred.

Someone suggested, "Fellow disciples, although we are no match for the Mount Shu Sect, we can still condemn them publicly. The Jade Dragon Sect cannot fall; we must fight them to the end."

"Yes, we can expose the incident to the Cultivation World and let everyone see the true face of the Mount Shu Sect."

"It’s certain that they wanted to rob our treasured items from the mansion, that’s why they did this. It’s too much, too shameless."

"Look at this cavern, they stole the treasures and even collapsed the cavern."

The group collectively condemned, and soon made up their mind.

Thus, a storm of public opinion arose from the Southern Borderlands, and quickly spread northward throughout the entire Cultivation World.

This world also has newspapers.

Previously, it was affiliated with the Royal Family and only circulated within the Imperial Court, known as the "Court Gazette."

Later, this medium was promoted greatly by the Chang’an Academy, and began to gather news nationwide and distribute publications.

The news on these papers was all about the Cultivation World, generally of no interest to the common people and only circulated within the Cultivation World.

The most famous newspapers included the "Chang’an Daily," which spread across the Nine Provinces of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Dragon and Phoenix Tower established the "Dragon and Phoenix Daily," similarly widespread nationwide, and specifically spoke for the Third Prince.

The Crown Prince, naturally having his own influence, established the "Great Xia Daily" to declare the orthodoxy of his position.

Disciples from the Jade Dragon Sect uncovered these three newspapers and revealed today’s events fully on them.

In just a short day’s time, the news had spread back to Chang’an City.

Those waiting in the city for news were filled with surprise when they read it, not expecting the Mount Shu Sect to commit such a disgraceful act.

They were helping with Enlightenment in someone else’s cavern dwelling, but at the slightest disagreement, they eradicated that sect.

The higher-ups of the Jade Dragon Sect knew the details, but the disciples below did not.

Sect Leader Li Yu, along with others, ambushed Long Fei and others on the way, without divulging any specific details.

The disciples merely knew that a Mount Shu disciple named Mu Qing had annihilated their sect.

This incident, along with the destruction of the Songshan Sect, became tragic cases in both the south and north.

In no time, it caught the attention of various local tabloids and quickly alarmed the Mount Shu Sect.

The Mount Shu Sect denied being responsible, stating that someone was impersonating their disciple to commit these acts.

They didn’t know the specific details either.

Not a night passed before Mount Shu published another article, solemnly stating, "Our Elder Disciple Mu Qing was slaughtered a few days ago by someone named Long Fei."

They were investigating the matter, intending to make Long Fei pay.

The Cultivation World became a chaotic mess of arguments, while Long Fei and others leisurely wandered around Phoenix City in the Southern Barbarian State.

They had missed the opportunity and were delayed by the Jade Dragon Sect for some time.

The disciples who arrived earlier had already scavenged the slave traders in this city clean.

Phoenix City, not far from the Great Xia Kingdom, had a City Lord belonging to the Demon Clan’s Peacock Tribe.

This city and the border area it was adjacent to make up a lawless zone.

As expected, all sorts of bizarre creatures could be seen.

Occasionally, a figure with a dog’s head and a human body, or a human head and a snake body, would appear, giving an eerie feeling.

Various underworld forces roamed here openly, encompassing gambling dens, restaurants, brothels, and including slave traders.

Elf sisters, Anna and Nightingale, were sold here by slave traders to the Great Xia Kingdom, then later transferred to the Capital City, Chang’an.

At this time, the slave trading market was very quiet.

The disciples participating in trials captured anyone they saw.

Although these slave traders had backing, they hadn’t yet chosen to retaliate.

Only after this incident did they receive intelligence that the Great Xia Kingdom was investigating them.

These old oilers from the underworld were very clever, choosing not to confront directly but to withdraw their people first.

After wandering for two days, Long Fei and the others found nothing.

Lin Shanshan anxiously said, "Brother-in-law, what should we do? Without any clues, where will we capture the slave traders?"

Everyone split up to act, Long Fei and Lin Shanshan as a team.

Murong Chong and Ji Wanyu were a team, and Chu Feng was with the two elf sisters.

Long Fei, along with Lin Shanshan, found a restaurant to sit down in, urging Lin Shanshan to be patient and not rush.

He believed the slave traders had entangled roots here, and he doubted that the previous disciples could have completely eradicated them.

Restaurants were always places where news spread.

Someone just happened to mention this issue, speaking mysteriously, "Have you all heard? The Great Xia Kingdom is going to take action against the slave traders on the frontier. Tell me, hasn’t this slave trade been going on for many years? Why, all of a sudden, does the Great Xia Kingdom want to take action against the slave traders?"
