Chapter 262 - 256: Uncle of the Clan
Chapter 262: Chapter 256: Uncle of the Clan
In a dark corner of Sunshine City.
Feng Xun and a group of small goblins had been searching for months when they discovered some signs of that big-eyed tattoo, etched in some secretive locations, seemingly as a method of communication.
“These people are so concealed…”
“But… hmm~ I’ve figured out your tricks, this symbol was engraved today, probably meaning to gather.”
“Tonight, I’m going to catch you!”
Feng Xun transformed into a mischievous breeze and hid in the shadows around, while the goblins dispersed to beg, but their eyes kept watch on the passersby, tracking for Feng Xun.
...
Looking at these little guys, Feng Xun felt somewhat proud.
‘Having followers wherever I go, this must be what being a prodigy feels like…’
‘Unlike Yang Fu, who only resorts to crooked and evil methods…’
‘I’ve learned some demon techniques here, I’ll meet with you when I return!’
Feng Xun and Yang Fu’s schedules perfectly opposed one another. To avoid observation by the Demon Clan, Feng often moved about at night, hence the two had never met face to face.
…
Late at night, outside the house where the symbols were carved, a group of the Demon Clan cloaked in capes gathered…

The leader casually dropped some Array Stones, quickly setting up a Concealment Array, a faint barrier enveloping the demons, turning everything into a vanishing illusion as if no one had ever been there.
‘So there’s an Array master… no wonder I can never trace them.’
The strength of this Concealment Array is definitely Third Grade!
Feng Xun’s Spiritual Sense was blocked outside, completely unable to see the situation inside.
He was slightly impatient.
‘Didn’t they say the Demon Clan isn’t proficient in arrays? How did this Third Grade Array come about?’
‘If they escape this time, who knows when they can be caught again…’
‘No, I must break the formation!’
As the former number one prodigy of the Immortal Path, Feng Xun’s talent wasn’t a joke; not only was he exceptional in magic battles, but he also excelled in arrays, talismans, artifact refining, and many other skills of cultivation, learning incredibly fast.
‘Unless I possess several times the strength of the one who set the array, to break it… I must find the Array Eye, then use my Feng Family’s supreme skill “Wind Cloud Transformation” to directly sweep away the Array Eye, breaking the array naturally…’
As for after breaking the formation, it was bound to be a fierce battle, and Feng Xun was already prepared!
‘Within the Foundation Establishment Stage, no one can rival me!’
Even Li Yao, with his Heavenly Spirit Root, at the third level of Foundation Establishment, could only battle to a draw against first level Feng Xun.
Not to mention these members of the Demon Clan.
‘On our cultivator’s turf, my Spiritual Power is unceasing; your Demonic Qi… doesn’t recover nearly as fast.’
The fundamental reason for the lowly status of the Demon Clan on the Spirit Miao Continent was only one — weakness.
Weakness is the original sin for a race.
The Demon Clan absorbs Demonic Qi for cultivation, but on Spirit Miao Continent, Demonic Qi is extremely scarce; they can only absorb Spiritual Energy, and then gradually convert it into Demonic Qi for cultivation through their demon techniques.
This process substantially lowers their efficiency, and during magical battles, while Qi Refinement isn’t much of an issue because everyone uses the energy stored within their bodies,
it gets bad during the Foundation Establishment Stage!
Cultivators from the Human Clan can manipulate the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, whereas the Demon Clan… has too little Demonic Qi to mobilize, even after cultivating demons for many years in Sunshine City, the Demonic Qi is merely a trace.
At the same stage, a Foundation Establishment-stage human cultivator can defeat several Foundation Establishment-stage Demon Clan cultivators.
That’s the disparity!
When the Demon Clan fights in unfamiliar territories, it can’t perform to its potential, therefore it’s confined to Sunshine City.
Feng Xun was confident; unless several late-stage Foundation Establishment old demons ambushed him, he wouldn’t face any mishaps.
‘If all else fails… I’ll stir up a big commotion to draw the City Lord here, and he’ll activate the “Five Elements Demon Suppression Array,” and capture them in a moment!’
Of course, that was Feng Xun’s last resort strategy.
If he wasn’t pushed to the brink, he would definitely not want to ask for help from a stranger City Lord, as the credit and various rewards would be halved.
The rewards for this mission, for his stage of Foundation Establishment… were quite tempting.
Before attempting to break the formation, there was still one doubt in Feng Xun’s mind.
“Uncle said he would come to Sunshine City to protect me, but I haven’t seen him… Could something have delayed him?”
Feng Xun was the premier talent of the Twelve Dynasties, possessing everything that Yang Fushuo did… Unlike Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo, who brought three women, he brought the true foundation of the Feng Family…
“No matter, I need to break the formation first!”
Feng Xun activated the Wind Technique, and threads of Wind Spiritual Power seeped into the Array, probing for the location of the Array Eye.
However, once he intruded into the Array, Feng Xun felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“Is this… ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array’?”
Following this sense of familiarity, he easily located the Array Eye and broke the formation with the Magic “Wind Cloud Transformation”!
Boom!
The Array dissipated, revealing a group of demons inside.
Each one had a symbol of a large eye on their head!
These were the covert disruptors mentioned in the Sect’s mission!
There was no time to wonder why it was the ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Array,’ he had to capture the demons first!
“I’ve finally caught you! Today, none of you will escape!”
“Gang Wind Technique!”
The Foundation Establishment Stage Wind Technique of the Feng Family conjured Heaven and Earth Gang Wind, sweeping through a large group of enemies, perfect for one-to-many combat!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The Gang Wind sliced through like razors, and any demon below the Foundation Establishment Stage who took two hits from the Gang Wind would lose their combat ability!
Boom!
The lead demon swung his sleeve, releasing a stronger Gang Wind that directly extinguished Feng Xun’s swath of Gang Wind.
Feng Xun stared under the cloak at that familiar face… He opened his mouth wide, unable to believe what he was seeing:
“Uncle?”
…
“It’s truly been a fruitful day!”
“Today, we celebrate the grand opening of our core business ‘Enchantment Technique’ in Sunshine City. I’m treating everyone to meat and drinks!”
The enchantment went on till late into the night before the people from the Immortal Martial Sect were finally sent off.
Yang Fu’s treat lured continuous praises from the demon clan!
Back in the city, Yang Fu’s City Lord seal trembled slightly, warning him of violent Spiritual Power fluctuations within the city.
But the fluctuations subsided after just a moment.
“Late at night and there are demons dueling? Evil Eye, check that direction.”
Evil Eye looked over, and saw two drunken demons from the demon clan cursing each other as they separated.
“Lord City Lord, it’s just two drunkards who had a fight.”
“Some demons are hot-tempered, fighting in the middle of the night is common, but they generally don’t dare to escalate too much, knowing that the City Lord is watching.”
Yang Fu nodded.
“Then it’s nothing, let’s continue drinking and eating. But make sure not to fight after you’ve drunk too much!”
A crowd of demons chorused.
“We wouldn’t dare!”
“Instead of fighting, we’d rather practice the Enchantment Technique, to speed up and earn more Spirit Stones…”
“Lord City Lord, helping us earn Spirit Stones, we can’t thank you enough!”
“From now on, we are your people, Lord. You say who to fight, and we will fight them!”
These first beneficiaries of the Enchantment Technique professed their loyalty to the City Lord.
Yang Fu and his group ate, drank, and celebrated into the night.
“Today is a special day, Sunshine City… has finally opened a new door!”
