The next day, Lingfeng arrived at Ziren's room to discuss the matter of rescuing Grandpa Mei.
Although Ziren was currently unable to use her magical powers, having one more person meant one more helper.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ziren agreed to Lingfeng's suggestion. Just as Lingfeng was surprised, Ziren gritted her teeth and said, "They killed my Soul-Devouring Cat, so I will make them pay with their lives!"
"But last time I turned the White Jade Escort Agency upside down and didn't find any trace of the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord. Is he really not in the White Jade Escort Agency?" Lingfeng asked, puzzled.
Ziren shook her head in contemplation and after a moment said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. Although I have lived in the White Jade Escort Agency for a long time, I still haven't figured out its structure. Last time you burned down a dungeon, but I believe there are still many secrets hidden there."
After a moment of silence, Ziren continued, "It's a pity that the poison in me hasn't been cured; otherwise, if I could use the Breath Technique, I might be able to explore the White Jade Escort Agency thoroughly!"
Lingfeng glanced at Ziren with disdain. She thought to herself, "You just want to get the antidote and then deal with me? Who do you think you're fooling? With your meticulous nature, wouldn't you have investigated the White Jade Escort Agency thoroughly when you first went there? Moreover, there's an old monster in the White Jade Escort Agency; even a slight release of Spiritual Energy would be immediately detected. Do you take me for a fool?"
However, Lingfeng did not voice her thoughts. Instead, while looking down on Ziren, she laughed and said, "You know there's an old monster in the White Jade Escort Agency. Even if you get the antidote and use Spiritual Energy to perform the Breath Technique, any leakage of Spiritual Energy would definitely alert that monster!"
Ziren's plan was exposed, and her face turned red as she found herself at a loss for words due to Lingfeng's remarks.
After exchanging a few words that felt dull and uninteresting, Lingfeng decided to rise and practice the Falling Leaf Technique.
After some time, although Lingfeng had memorized some Mind Methods, she made little progress. Besides realizing that Evil Thoughts had not appeared, she did not find any other useful applications.
At this moment, under the blazing sun, Lingfeng stripped off her clothes and lay on the rooftop contemplating.
Before long, Mei rushed in from outside, calling out for Lingfeng.
Lingfeng sat up and called down from above, "Mei, I'm here!"
Mei Jian reached the rooftop and set down her basket of vegetables. She lightly jumped onto the roof and pulled out a letter from her bosom. "I just went to town to buy vegetables and found your letter!"
"A letter?" Lingfeng asked in confusion as she took the letter and looked at the envelope. It turned out to be written by Enchanting.
Lingfeng smiled at Mei and said, "Thank you!" He was actually trying to hide the joy in his heart, but with Mei present, he felt embarrassed to open the letter right away, fearing she might discover something.
However, Mei did not notice Lingfeng's thoughts and curiously asked, "Who is Enchanting? It sounds like a woman's name, and the address is from the Demon Suppression Sect!"
"Oh~~!" Lingfeng deflected, "She's my senior sister; it shouldn't be anything serious." He then casually tucked the letter into his pocket as if it didn't matter.
"Why not open it?" Mei pressed.
"Usually, there's nothing important; I'll look at it later!" But seeing that Mei wasn't leaving, he smiled and said, "The weather is really nice today; it's great to soak up some sun!"
Mei touched her delicate face and said softly, "I don't want to bask in the sun; I just want to see what the letter from the Demon Suppression Sect says!"
Lingfeng couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling helpless. In resignation, he took out the letter. After hesitating for a moment and seeing Mei's eager eyes, he sighed and thought that he might as well open it. Then, holding the letter in his left hand and the seal in his right, he tore it open with a swift motion.
Lingfeng pulled out the letter and saw that there weren't many words written on it—just a few simple phrases. Although it expressed some longing for Lingfeng, it wasn't profound; presumably, knowing that Lingfeng was safe was enough to put her mind at ease.
At the bottom, Enchanting cheerfully wrote, "I'm about to venture into the Demon Cave! Although I haven't mastered the advanced Water Control Technique, I have thought of a good plan!" After that was Enchanting's signature, with no further information.
Mei glanced at it too but found it no different from an ordinary letter and felt bored. She then asked, "Is this Enchanting really your senior sister? Why is she looking for you?"
Lingfeng played along honestly and replied, "Her magical power is average; although she knows the Water Control Technique, she isn't as skilled as I am, so she needs me to protect her!"
Mei pouted and jumped down from the house to pick vegetables.
Lingfeng let out a long sigh and looked toward Demon Suppression Mountain. Although Mei was about to venture into the Demon Cave soon, she hadn't mastered the highest level of Water Peak yet. Her good plan probably involved carrying some containers filled with water.
After daydreaming for a while, Lingfeng sat cross-legged to practice the Falling Leaf Technique's Mind Method.
Meanwhile, Ziren stepped out of the room and observed the Falling Leaf Technique's cultivation method. He then used his agility to weave through the trees like a purple specter—elusive and dazzling.
In the main hall of the White Jade Escort Agency, the Hall Master sat on his throne. White Phoenix Mountain stood below quietly listening to the Hall Master's instructions.
"News just came in from the Mandala Demon Continent that someone with high-level Demon Root has been discovered. This person is currently in the Demon Subduing Continent and we need to locate them. I cannot go out at the moment, so please send someone to investigate!"
The Hall Master, now with formidable cultivation, still dared not leave the White Jade Escort Agency recklessly. The memory of the last time cultivators besieged the Demon Lord was still fresh in his mind, causing him great alarm. Moreover, the previous Demon Lord was about to face tribulation but was killed by cultivators; how could he not be worried?
White Phoenix Mountain pondered for a moment and said with some difficulty, "Finding the Demon Lord Reincarnation is not a problem, but if the person lacks Wisdom Root, they won't be able to sense the Spiritual Energy of cultivators or Demon Cultivators. If we had a portrait of the Demon Lord Reincarnation, it would be easier!"
"That's not difficult!" The Hall Master waved his hand, and a scroll appeared in his grasp. He carefully opened it and said, "This is the portrait of the Demon Lord Reincarnation. Take it and make copies, then distribute orders to search for the Demon Lord Reincarnation at all branches."
White Phoenix Mountain quietly accepted the scroll.
The scroll depicted a young man with a sharp face and a bald head, looking rather shabby.
"This... this is the Demon Lord Reincarnation?" White Phoenix Mountain thought that even if the Demon Lord Reincarnation wasn't imposing, he should at least look dignified. He didn't expect the portrait to look like this, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
"Don't ask too many questions; just search according to the portrait!" said the Hall Master.
White Phoenix Mountain nodded and silently closed the scroll.
After a moment of silence, the Hall Master asked again, "Have there been any updates on Ziren and that mysterious cultivator?"
"They are searching diligently but have no news at all!" White Phoenix Mountain replied obediently.
The Hall Master looked at White Phoenix Mountain thoughtfully and said, "That cultivator knows Five Elements Technique; he seems to have quite a background. However, they are of no use for now, so you needn't exert yourself in searching for them. If they come again next time, I will eliminate them all at once!"
Compared to finding people and dealing with Lingfeng and others, finding people was relatively easy, which made White Phoenix Mountain quite willing.
Thus, White Phoenix Mountain sent people to copy many portraits of the Demon Lord Reincarnation and distributed them across various branches throughout the Demon Subduing Continent. Some even went so far as to post the portrait within cities without indicating who it was; they simply wrote that anyone who finds this person and provides information would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, clearly investing heavily in this search.
As soon as the news spread, an extensive search operation began across the entire Demon Subduing Continent. Some civilians abandoned their homes for wealth and embarked on their own search journeys.
There were various opinions about the person in the portrait; some believed it was the mysterious cultivator who had set fire to the White Jade Escort Agency several times, while others thought it was White Phoenix Mountain's lost son. Even more absurdly, some claimed it was White Phoenix Mountain's missing father. However, they failed to consider that given White Phoenix Mountain's age, how could he possibly have a father who looked around seventeen or eighteen?
White Phoenix Mountain is also quite amusing, but the Hall Master has issued an order to find the Demon Lord Reincarnation at all costs.
One day, Mei was out shopping for groceries when she accidentally saw a portrait pasted on the wall.
There were four guards standing by the portrait, preventing anyone from getting too close. Curious, Mei squeezed through the crowd and looked up, only to see a bald monk in the picture.
"How strange, why is someone from the White Jade Escort Agency looking for a monk?" With this thought, she approached and asked, "Excuse me, who is this person in the painting?"
One of the guards glanced at Mei, his eyes lighting up. With a lewd grin, he said, "This is the person that White Dart Master is looking for. Little sister, if you find this person, you'll be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! And who knows, you might even get a husband matched for you!" At this, the others laughed heartily in agreement.
Mei frowned in disgust for a moment but then changed her expression and winked at him, whispering, "Big brother, what does the husband look like? Is he as handsome as the person in the painting?"
"Oh!" The guard was overjoyed; how could he resist Mei's allure? He swallowed hard and replied, "Of course! He's a hundred times more handsome than the person in the painting!" He also shot a few flirtatious glances at Mei.
Blushing shyly, Mei lightly traced her finger along the guard's chin and playfully said, "Brother, how do you compare to him?"
Unable to withstand her charm any longer, he greedily inhaled the lingering scent left by Mei and gasped, "Just like me! As long as you’re willing, I’ll ask Bounty Master to reward me to you!"
"You rascal!" Mei covered her mouth and giggled. Looking around at everyone, she leaned closer to him and said softly, "Brother, can we have a word alone?"
