Chapter 249: Chapter 247: Feng Xun’s Task: Undercover in the Demon Clan (Two in One)

A golden task scroll fluttered down from the skies to the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, and Feng Xun, like a gust of wind, flew out from the middle and caught it with ease.

“Task: Infiltrate the Demon Clan.”

“There is an interdimensional space rift on the Spirit Miao Continent that connects to other worlds. Demons come through it, but their strength is feeble and poses no threat to the Human Clan. After deliberation among the major sects, to avoid unnecessary killings, they decided to leave them be and strictly supervise them. Over time, this formed a city inhabited entirely by demons, named Sunshine City.”

“Recently, we have received intelligence that the normally docile Demon Clan seems to be secretly conducting some sort of evil ritual; the purpose is currently unclear.”

“Your task is to go undercover in this city, disguised as a new demon that has just emerged from the rift. Investigate the reality and specific purpose of this ritual. (Note: Since the Evil Eye Clan within the Demon Clan possesses a special ability to see incredibly distant events, the task necessitates a new disciple who has never left the Sect.)”

“Although the demons on the Spirit Miao Continent are weak and lack Golden Core Stage cultivators, you must remember to be careful of the Enchanting Demon Clan. They have the ability to fundamentally harm human cultivators. Do not provoke the Enchanting Demons unless necessary!”

...

“Task Magic Treasure: Wind Demon Cloak (will disguise you as part of the Wind Demon Clan, adept at using Wind Techniques)… Mid-Grade Demon Crystals: 10 pieces (use them with the Wind Demon Cloak to disguise your Spiritual Power as Demonic Qi.)”

“After uncovering everything, you can return to the Sect to report. Remember not to expose your identity! If you need help, the City Lord of Sunshine City is also a disciple of our Sect, you may seek assistance from him…”

Upon receiving the task, Feng Xun’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Finally, it’s time for me to show my prowess! It’s truly boring to stay in the Sect without any battles! Just when I’m about to teach someone a lesson… turns out he’s a pervert.”

“Now the sky’s the limit, and the ocean is full of opportunities!”

“Without that pervert around, my path to enlightenment is unobstructed!”

Feng Xun finished packing his luggage and took Fengwu Villa’s long-distance Treasure Ship to Sunshine City.

Upon landing.

Feng Xun donned the Wind Demon Cloak specially prepared by his Sect. His body twisted and changed, gusts of wind rose from underfoot, and his legs sank into a grey vortex of wind. The aura of a Human Clan Cultivator vanished from his body, turning into wisps of Demonic Qi.

The vortex of wind at his feet seemed to become part of him, not dissipating even without maintaining it with Spiritual Energy, as if he was naturally born from it.

With a slight movement, Feng Xun took to the sky amidst the whirlwind, appearing very demonic.

“Kekeke~~ Old Daoist Wind Demon has arrived!”

A wisp of grey smoke drifted toward Sunshine City.

….

“Yang Fu, why have you come to our Sunshine City?”

At the city gates stood two large eyeballs, with dozens of tentacles supporting them from below on the ground. The flexible and sticky tentacles wriggled slowly—a sight that drained one’s sanity just by looking at it.

This was the gatekeeper demon of Sunshine City, from the Evil Eye Clan.

At that moment, the two large eyeballs gently pulsed, projecting strands of Spiritual Sense into Yang Fu’s mind, and he heard the voice of the Evil Eye in his own head.

“You recognize me?”

“Hehe~ there’s nothing in this world that our Evil Eye Clan can’t see.”

“Then help me check what my master, Long Hong, has been up to lately. Has he returned to the Earth Spirit Pavilion? I’ve left him an important letter.”

The two Evil Eyes’ eyeballs hesitated slightly, then pulsated.

“But then again… caring about everything consumes a lot of spiritual focus, and we’d rather not watch trivial matters.”

“How about taking a quick look now?”

“Yang Fu, I know what you’re here in Sunshine City for…”

“You can see that too? Then you guys should totally be working for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!”

Weren’t these two more amazing than the calculating Taoists of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect? With such an ability, why bother guarding the city gates!

“Huh? You know that our Evil Eye Clan occasionally works for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?”

“Really now… impressive, impressive. Hurry up and check if my master has seen the letter when he got back?”

“You’re just looking for trouble! The moment our Void Eyes appear near Long Hong… they’ll be refined in an instant!”

“Then how do you recognize me?”

The two large eyeballs exchanged glances, displaying a cunning look.

“Hehehehehehe~”

“Speak!”

“We know you, just know you, hehehe~”

The demonic tune irritated Yang Fu, making his teeth itch.

So maddening, playing riddles at the crucial moment.

“Open the gate!”

“We won’t open it for Yang Fu, teehee~”

The two eyeballs jolted slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Yang Fu’s negative emotions, greedily absorbing strands of the atmosphere, thoroughly enjoying it.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Yang Fu pulled out the City Lord Token issued by the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, shining with dazzling light.

Evil Eye: No teehee.

“Huh? Why aren’t you two talking now, born not fond of speaking?”

The two Evil Eyes sent out waves of silence.

Soon, sensing the aura of the token, the original City Lord flew out.

An eager old man approached Yang Fu with a sprightly step, grasping his hand excitedly.

“Hoping for stars and moons, finally you have arrived! Quick, let’s hand over duties today!”

“Uh… elder, there’s no rush for the moment, right? I still have some things I need your advice on.”

“It’s urgent! My wife is giving birth at home, I must hurry back.”

“Ah? This… I’m new here and don’t understand anything, how can I be the City Lord?”

“The city has a Fourth Grade Array set up by the Sect; there should be no trouble. You just need to keep an eye on the demons, prevent them from causing chaos, and oh, make sure they don’t starve. I’ve left you a work manual with the policies I’ve implemented as City Lord over the years. Take a look and you’ll understand. I’m in a hurry, off I go!”
