In the southwest of the Demon Hunting Forest, there was a small city called Demon Hunting City.
At this moment, this small city, which was inhabited by hundreds of Immortal Cultivators and more than two thousand mortals, was filled with panic.
The hundreds of immortal cultivators living in the city were all disciples of the Golden Crow Sect who had come to the Demon Hunting Forest to train, and the two thousand mortals were there to serve these hundreds of disciples.
If it was any other time, these trial disciples of the Golden Crow Sect would have left the Demon Hunting City and headed to the dark forest to kill the demons.
But today, hundreds of trial disciples were gathered outside a courtyard in the city, whispering in groups of three or five.
In a spacious stone room in the courtyard, a young cultivator with a cold face was holding a small knife and skillfully cutting open the stomach of a demon wolf whose limbs were locked. He took out the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and other organs from the demon wolf.
This level seven demon wolf had a very strong vitality. Even after all its organs were taken out, it still did not die.
"Human, you will get your retribution!" The demon wolf cursed at the young cultivator with its consciousness.
A mocking smile appeared on the young cultivator's face as he said slowly,""At least 50 demons have said this to me, but until now, I still haven't seen what retribution looks like!”
After saying that, the young cultivator ignored the demon wolf and turned to a grey-robed cultivator standing outside the stone room."What happened outside?"
"Senior Martial Brother Lu, there have been disciples who have gone missing for the past few days.”
The young cultivator's name was Lu Feng, and he was one of the few cultivators in the city who had reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
"How many people are missing?" Lu Feng asked.”
" The first time the trial disciples went missing was three days ago," the grey-robed cultivator said." Three trial disciples didn't return to the city three days ago. Then there were two more people the day before yesterday, and four more yesterday. Today, everyone was a little panicked. Most of the trial disciples did not leave the city anymore.”
Lu Feng frowned slightly.
In fact, it was not rare for trial disciples to go missing. After all, trials were risky. If you wanted to kill demons, the demons would not just stand there and let you kill them.
Although human cultivators were stronger than demons at the same level, there would always be some disciples who were not strong or unlucky who would die in the mouths of demons every year.
However, generally speaking, disciples who failed to kill demons and were killed by demons instead only accounted for a small portion of the total trial disciples. In a year, there were at least three to five people, and at most more than ten people.
But now, nine people had gone missing in three days. This was very abnormal!
"What kind of disciples are missing? Was he an outer sect disciple or an inner sect disciple?”Lu Feng asked again.
"Of the nine missing trial disciples, five are inner sect disciples, and two of them are elite disciples," the grey-robed cultivator said.”
" What?" Lu Feng's expression changed slightly." There are two elite disciples?"”
Like most of the cultivation sects in this world, the Golden Crow Sect was also divided into outer and inner sects.
The Golden Crow Sect had over three thousand disciples in the outer sect, but less than eight hundred in the inner sect. Because the treatment and status of inner sect disciples far exceeded that of outer sect disciples, outer sect disciples all desperately wanted to enter the inner sect.
According to the rules of the Golden Crow Sect, if an outer sect disciple wanted to enter the inner sect, there were four ways:
The first way was for the outer sect disciples to reach the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm before the age of 20.
The second way was for the outer sect disciples to reach the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm before the age of 30.
The third way was for the outer sect disciples to break through the Qi Refinement Realm and reach the Purple Prefecture Realm in their lifetime.
The fourth way was that the outer sect disciple had made a great contribution to the sect.
These four pathways were arranged from easy to difficult.
The outer sect disciples racked their brains to enter the inner sect, but there were also different levels in the inner sect.
Disciples of different levels had different statuses and treatments.
In the inner sect, disciples were usually divided into ordinary disciples, elite disciples, and direct disciples.
The direct disciples were the direct descendants of the inner sect elders. They were treated the best and had the highest status among all the inner sect disciples.
Lu Feng was the personal disciple of the Golden Crow Sect.
"Can you tell me the details?”Lu Feng said to the grey-robed cultivator with a solemn expression.
" Senior Brother Lu," the grey-robed cultivator said." Two of the three disciples who went missing two days ago were elite disciples of the inner sect, and one was an ordinary disciple." The two elite disciples were called Zhang Congxian and Zhou Lishi, both of whom were at the eighth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. There was also a female cultivator called Yao Bihong, who was at the sixth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.”
"Zhou Lishi, I've heard of this name before. I remember that he cultivates fire-type spells, right?" Lu Feng muttered.”
"That's him." The grey-robed cultivator nodded.”
Seeing that Lu Feng did not ask any more questions, the grey-robed cultivator continued,""Two more disciples went missing the day before yesterday. These two disciples were both ordinary disciples of the inner sect. One was at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and the other was at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. Then, four more disciples went missing yesterday. These four disciples were all outer sect disciples. Three of them were at the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and one was at the second level of the Qi Refinement Realm.”
"Why did he even put a second level Qi Refining Realm cultivator into the small world?”Lu Feng asked unhappily.
"This second level Qi Refinement Realm disciple is said to be the grandnephew of an outer sect elder, so the guard in charge of guarding the entrance of the small world made an exception.”
" Humph!" Lu Feng snorted coldly." I think that elder of the Outer Sect must be senile. Otherwise, why would he send his grandnephew here to die?"”
The man in gray smiled and did not dare to discuss this topic with Lu Feng. Lu Feng was the direct disciple of an inner sect elder and was not afraid of an outer sect elder at all. However, this grey-robed man was only an ordinary inner sect disciple and did not dare to provoke an outer sect elder.
"Nine disciples have gone missing in three days, and two of them are elite disciples at the eighth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm. It seems that another powerful demon has appeared in the Demon Hunting Forest!”Lu Feng muttered to himself as he strode out of the courtyard.
At this moment, there were already more than a hundred disciples gathered outside the courtyard. When they saw Lu Feng come out, they all cupped their fists and bowed.
"Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, I've just learned about the disappearance of the trial disciples in the past few days. I'm about to leave the city to investigate the situation. Before I return, you can stay in the city for the time being.”After Lu Feng finished speaking, he took out a silver flying wheel from his storage ring and threw it into the air. Then, he jumped and disappeared from everyone's sight on the flying wheel.
"Oh, great!" If Senior Brother Blood Hand were to appear, the demons in the Demon Hunting Forest would be in big trouble again!”A Qi Cultivation Realm level six cultivator said softly.
The reason why this cultivator addressed Lu Feng as Senior Brother Blood Hand was because Lu Feng's nickname was Blood Hand.
"How long do you think Senior Brother Blood Hand will take to return to the city this time? How many demons could he bring back when he returned to the city?”A Qi Cultivation Realm level seven cultivator said to his companion.
His companion thought for a moment and replied,""I guess Senior Brother Lu will be able to return to the city in four hours at most. When he returns to the city, he will bring at least five demons back!”
