Luo Feng left Palace Master Weiyang’s cave dwelling.
“Just another piece of trash!” Luo Feng had anticipated this outcome before the meeting, considering the Bug Lair, Trickster Bazaar, and Myriad Shadow Tower were all part of Palace Master Weiyang’s faction. This meeting confirmed Luo Feng’s judgment.
Palace Master Weiyang was indeed a piece of trash! “Maintaining the operation of a city through trade, residence fees, and rental income is understandable,” Luo Feng thought, “But he still finds it insufficient, resorting to theft, plunder, and even using the guise of screening suspicious cultivators… to continue exploitation!”
“Palace Master Weiyang, you truly are trash!”
“Thankfully, you haven’t obtained the ‘City Builder’ authority. If you had, who knows how many disasters you would cause!” Palace Master Weiyang was different from Luo Feng!
Palace Master Weiyang had long reached the level of a half-Chaotic Source Dao Comprehender, with deep accumulation in this area, making further progress difficult.
He just wanted to relax and acquire more resources, unwilling to struggle anymore!
He naturally valued Rain Ripple City greatly! Luo Feng, on the other hand, had soared in his cultivation. The Nine Rivers Sacred Realm and Rain Ripple City were merely stops on Luo Feng’s cultivation journey.
“Once my accumulation is deep enough and I break through in the Dao of Creation and Destruction, obtaining the City Builder authority, I will expel Palace Master Weiyang!” Luo Feng thought.
“Palace Master Yuanxiang!” Luo Feng walked within Rain Ripple City and transmitted a message to Palace Master Yuanxiang: “I am now preparing to investigate the entire city for lurking low-level Chaotic Source lifeforms!”
“Investigate now?”
Palace Master Yuanxiang was pleasantly surprised, smiling as he transmitted: “Brother Luo Feng, you are much faster than other elders! Having just taken office as the Sky Patrol Palace Leader, you’ve already screened all suspicious cultivators and are now starting a city-wide investigation!” “Every cave dwelling in the city is shielded by formations, so the cultivators inside cannot be checked for now!” Luo Feng transmitted.
After all, the cultivators outside the cave dwellings only accounted for a small portion of the city’s cultivators!
“Check the smaller part first!”
“Luo Feng, after you finish checking, I will arrange for the city to close the cave dwelling formations in batches!” Palace Master Yuanxiang transmitted.
“Alright!” Luo Feng replied.
His brow naturally opened the Bionic Creation-Destruction Eye, observing the surroundings. Luo Feng could vaguely see the souls of the many cultivators on the surrounding streets!
Five Luo Feng clones also flew out of his cave dwelling. Each Luo Feng, with the Bionic Creation-Destruction Eye open, along with the original, formed six Luo Feng clones, each responsible for a portion of the city, beginning a carpet-like search!
At this moment, Rain Ripple City was drizzling. The city was filled with cultivators of various appearances. Luo Feng, with just an extra eye on his brow, was not conspicuous in the city at all!
His six clones leisurely flew, looking at one place after another! “Palace Master, found a lurker carrying a Mind-Bewitching Worm clone!”
“Found a second Mind-Bewitching Worm clone!”
“Found the ninth clone!”
Even when Luo Feng discovered them, he didn’t alert them. Instead, he silently noted the cultivator’s identity and, combined with Rain Ripple City’s detailed database, could easily determine the cultivator’s identity and the location of their cave dwelling! After spending half a day, Luo Feng’s six clones had walked all over Rain Ripple City, and the six clones finally converged!
“Palace Master Yuanxiang, I have walked all over the city and seen all the cultivators outside the cave dwellings!” Luo Feng transmitted: “A total of twenty-two lurkers have been found!”
“Twenty-two?” Palace Master Yuanxiang was overjoyed. “Once killed, we should be able to capture a batch of lurkers along the causal lines!”
“In terms of observation methods, I am the best in the city, but there are still many who are stronger than me in causality!”
“I will arrange for the elders to act separately. They will kill these twenty-two lurkers! And they will capture more lurkers along the causal lines!” Palace Master Yuanxiang transmitted: “This kind of small matter doesn’t need you to worry about it!”
“Alright!” Luo Feng responded.
There were plenty of elders who could capture along the causal lines!
Luo Feng’s Bionic Creation-Destruction Eye could view the entire city, but the larger the observation range, the more the subtlety decreased. He could only see the vague aura of many cultivators, making it difficult to even glimpse their bodies clearly, let alone their souls!
“They’re moving!”
Luo Feng’s Bionic Creation-Destruction Eye had long locked onto the suspected twenty-two lurkers!
He clearly saw that twenty-two Elder-level existences acted at the same time, instantly killing the twenty-two lurkers! Then, relying on causality, they quickly captured other related clones!
In the outer city area of Rain Ripple City, inside an ordinary cave dwelling!
A red-robed cultivator lived alone inside.
“King, our mid- and low-level clansmen lurking in Rain Ripple City are being killed one after another!” A voice echoed in the red-robed cultivator’s mind. “At least thirty clan clones have been killed, and the number is rapidly increasing!”
“Mid- and low-level clan clones are being killed one after another?” The red-robed cultivator was puzzled!
“How could so many be exposed?”
“Only the leader level knows about this operation. We mainly restrain the core members! As for the mid-level clansmen… the restraint is not strict!” The voice said!
“Of course, these mid- and low-level clansmen don’t know about the operation. According to importance, their real bodies are still outside the city! They are just some sub-bug clones in the city!” The voice continued.
“Then don’t worry about it!” The red-robed cultivator!
“Be patient and wait. It’s not time to launch yet!” “Yes!” The voice responded!
On the Rain Ripple City side, following the twenty-two lurkers discovered by Luo Feng, they followed the causal lines and captured 76 more lurking clones!
And many cultivators who were related to them or suspected were sent to the Sky Patrol Palace!
Hundreds of these suspected cultivators committed suicide during the capture process! “Brother Luo Feng has truly made a great contribution. This wave of screening has now uncovered hundreds of lurkers!” Palace Master Yuanxiang was very satisfied. They had guessed that there were many lurking low-level Chaotic Source lifeforms!
In the past, it was too difficult to find them!
Now it was much easier.
Luo Feng was also tireless, sitting in the Sky Patrol Palace and looking at all the suspected cultivators. Those cultivators were caught and released on the same day, without being exploited for treasures, which caused all the cultivators in the city to discuss it!
“King, we lost 205 clan clones this time. These clones belong to 23 clansmen! They are all clansmen with mid-God Emperor and early-God Emperor strength!” That voice reported in awe!
“No need to pay attention!” The red-robed cultivator didn’t care. Some clansmen with mid- and early-God Emperor strength were insignificant to the real city-destroying operation!
“Taking this opportunity, I have ordered all members to lurk and not to take any private actions!” The voice said: “Losing so many in a row has made them lurk, and they all obediently listen.” “Be patient and wait. Once the time is ripe, it will be time to act!” The red-robed cultivator was still steady!
The red-robed cultivator looked remotely in the direction of the core area of Rain Ripple City!
“The elders of Rain Ripple City… don’t even know how many clansmen have lurked in! Roughly half of the core members of the Mind-Bewitching Worm and Soul-Devouring Serpent, the two major races in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, have gathered here!” The red-robed cultivator thought!
Only those with late-stage God Emperor strength were qualified to be called core members!
God Emperor Perfection level was the leader of a racial branch!
“Boom!” Suddenly, the entire Rain Ripple City shook violently, and a terrifying aura erupted!
The red-robed cultivator was a little surprised. He looked through the formation and looked remotely outside, and could see a rich purple light covering the entire city!
“Boom!”
There was another loud noise, and the drizzle in the entire Rain Ripple City turned into water mist, and invisible power spread to every part of the city! “Boom, boom”
“Boom.”
Various loud noises!
One secret formation after another in the entire Rain Ripple City continued to erupt, and the power of heaven and earth was extremely turbulent. The energy above the city was like a raging ocean, and the roaring sound continued!
Usually, the elders only divided a little thought to simply maintain the many defense systems of Rain Ripple City! But if it was a key moment such as a siege, the elders would do their best to activate the formation, and the power of the formation would rapidly skyrocket!
This was the case at this moment. The formations throughout the city began to be activated, and their power continued to skyrocket!
Various activations one by one meant that Rain Ripple City was not in a hurry!
“What’s going on? Why did Rain Ripple City’s formation start operating at full strength?”
The red-robed cultivator was shocked. “Could it be that the operation has been exposed?”
“No, that’s impossible. All the core members involved in the operation have been restrained, and even the detailed operation details are only known to the leaders!” The red-robed cultivator was a little uneasy!
After dozens of breaths, the many formations in the entire Rain Ripple City erupted, and the power in the city was terrifying, covering every part of the city!
This also made the cultivators in the city a little nervous! “I am Yuanxiang!”
A gentle voice resounded throughout the city: “The cultivators of Rain Ripple City don’t need to panic. Our Rain Ripple City has a method to detect lurkers of low-level Chaotic Source life. From now on, the formations of all cave dwellings will be closed in batches. After the formations of the cave dwellings are closed, please take the initiative to close the formations you have arranged to facilitate identity verification!”
“The entire verification process can be completed within a day.” Palace Master Yuanxiang’s voice resounded throughout the city! “Can the entire city be checked?”
“Great”
“All the lurking low-level Chaotic Source lifeforms should have been wiped out long ago!”
In various areas throughout the city, the vast majority of cultivators cheered! Because more than 90% of the cultivators in the city were below the ultimate level, they had almost no ability to resist those low-level Chaotic Source lifeforms!
For them, it was a nightmare. If they were checked all at once and all expelled cleanly, the safety of Rain Ripple City could be greatly improved in the future as long as there were regular screenings!
“The entire city is going to be checked!”
That voice was a little anxious! The red-robed cultivator also naturally heard the voice resounding throughout the city, and his face was ugly!
The host of the Rain Ripple City destruction operation arrived first!
“King, we have not all arrived, and each has not arrived at the scheduled action time!”
The forces in the city needed to lurk, so they arrived early, but they were all together! However, only 20% of the forces outside the city had arrived, and the rest were still on their way!
The red-robed cultivator was angry!
“Forget it!”
“Even if it is launched in advance, our low-level Chaotic Source life race may have many more deaths!” “But the certainty of destroying the city still exceeds 90%!”
The red-robed cultivator’s eyes were cold!
He knew he couldn’t wait any longer!
“The entire city will be checked soon. Pass on my order and act according to the planned plan!” The red-robed cultivator’s voice suddenly resounded in the minds of all lurking low-level Chaotic Source life, and this invisible mental fluctuation made all lurkers naturally surrender!
