Although that assassin did not possess the profound cultivation of Azure Vine, he was still many times more skilled than Lingfeng. Moreover, Lingfeng was only using a dart, yet he managed to deliver a fatal blow. The assassin didn't even realize how he died, which certainly surprised Azure Vine.
Lingfeng smiled mysteriously but said nothing as he silently approached the assassin and pulled the Plum Blossom Dart from his head. The dart was already stained with the assassin's blood, and brain matter was splattered all over it.
Lingfeng grinned slightly and bent down to clean the Plum Blossom Dart on the assassin's body before saying to Azure Vine and State Government, "This Plum Blossom Dart was given to me by someone, and it has been coated with poison. As long as it's not a deity, anyone hit by it will die instantly!"
Azure Vine and State Government exchanged glances, both secretly astonished. After a moment, State Government said, "In all my years in the Cultivation Realm, I had no idea such a vicious poison existed! The person who concocted it must be ruthless!"
The Plum Blossom Dart was sent by Mei, and the poison on it was naturally prepared by the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord. Although Lingfeng did not know much about the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord, he understood Mei well. He thought that since Mei was such a good girl, she must have received excellent education; thus, the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord must be a person of high quality. He shook his head and said, "The poison was prepared by the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord. He has a granddaughter who is a very good girl. However, the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord has been captured by White Phoenix Mountain and has not been heard from since!"
"The last time someone came to inform State Government was from the White Jade Escort Agency. When I received the letter, I thought about how although the Bear Brute and others on Wisteria Mountain are bandits, they are heroes who rob from the rich to help the poor. So I had my doubts and asked Ziren to investigate. After hearing your words today, I realize that the people from the White Jade Escort Agency are not good at all!" State Government continued.
Lingfeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Actually, I believe that the disappearance of the Phoenix Pearl is related to the people from the White Jade Escort Agency. They probably don't know what kind of object the Phoenix Pearl is; they just think it's something precious to you, so they stole it and framed Wisteria Mountain for it. This shows that the people from the White Jade Escort Agency are truly scoundrels." Lingfeng then recounted what had happened in Bai Family Town to Azure Vine and State Government while omitting details about Ziren.
Upon hearing this, Azure Vine couldn't help but furrow his brow and fell into deep thought.
Noticing Azure Vine's silence, Lingfeng asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Azure Vine sighed and replied solemnly, "That mysterious figure in State Government is a Demon Cultivator with profound powers. If there is no one stronger than him in Mandala Demon Continent, I suspect this person must be Spirit Priest!"
"Brother Ziren analyzed it this way as well and shared some information about Spirit Priest with me. Later we vaguely guessed that this Spirit Priest is lurking in Mandala Demon Continent likely to revive it."
Since the last time when the Demon Lord of Mandala Demon Continent was killed and Spirit Priest went missing, Mandala Demon Continent has begun to decline. However, Mandala Demon Continent is vast with many people; there are numerous Demon Cultivators as well. If they were to wipe them out completely, there would surely be countless casualties. Thus, after discussions among the other eight State Governments, they decided not to strike against Mandala Demon Continent for now. Unexpectedly, this ceasefire lasted over a hundred years; even more unexpectedly, this generation's Demon Lord Reincarnation suddenly appeared.
If Mandala Demon Continent revives this time, war is bound to break out again. At that time, a great battle between Celestial and Demonic forces in Cultivation Realm would inevitably harm innocents. Moreover, the killing frenzy caused last time has not yet subsided; some untrained Demon Cultivators are terrified wherever they go and must restrain their Demonic Energy. Otherwise, if recognized by some cultivators, they could face deadly consequences early on.
The three of them fell silent for a moment, each lost in their own thoughts, and quietly made their way to the State Government residence.
That evening, none of them spoke; they sat in the main hall contemplating. Just as dawn broke, the State Government sent people to look for the generals still remaining at the State Government.
Those generals received the orders and arrived early at the State Government, sitting in the main hall waiting for others.
Before the second crow of the rooster, everyone had gathered.
Seeing that everyone was present, the State Government slowly stood up, glanced at everyone, and said, "I have called you all here early out of necessity. According to the latest news, the Spirit Priest from the Mandala Demon Continent has appeared, likely signaling the revival of the Mandala Demon Continent!"
As soon as the State Government finished speaking, a burly man stood up from below, his face full of muscle, resembling a black whirlwind incarnate. He opened his mouth and said, "What’s there to worry about? We can directly unite with the other seven State Governments and send troops to attack the Mandala Demon Continent!"
He was an officer under the State Government responsible for maintaining order, named Li Ba. Last time when the State Government held a banquet for Lingfeng, he had conversed with Lingfeng. Although he was proud by nature, he was quite loyal and unrestrained, leaving a good impression on Lingfeng.
His words drew a rebuttal from an elegant gentleman. The man slowly rose, stroked his goatee, and spoke in a calm manner, "That is incorrect. Although the Mandala Demon Continent is affiliated with the Demon Realm, there are many innocent beings within it. Moreover, its residents have long suffered under the oppression of Demon Cultivators and are already in dire straits. If we rashly send troops this time, it will inevitably bring disaster upon innocent people."
He was a scholar under the State Government with no significant cultivation but was skilled in strategy; his name was Jia Tian.
Upon hearing this, Li Ba was unwilling to back down and retorted unhappily, "Then what do you suggest we do? Should we let the Demon Lord Reincarnation awaken again like last time and then gather cultivators to hunt it down?"
Jia Tian hesitated for a moment but did not respond and could only sit back down.
Seeing that there was no resolution, everyone turned their gaze toward the State Government. The State Government also frowned in silence without any good decision. The current situation was different from before; now that the whereabouts of the Demon Lord Reincarnation were unknown and with a charitable heart, they were reluctant to harm innocents. However, if they did not attack the Mandala Demon Continent now, future events could become even more severe.
"Now the Mandala Demon Continent has sent assassins specifically to target high-level cultivators. If it weren't for Lingfeng's help last night, I would have already met my end!" Azure Vine suddenly spoke up as everyone else remained speechless.
The crowd looked at Azure Vine with a mix of surprise and concern, yet they were unaware of what had truly happened.
"Many cultivators are currently facing the threat of the Mandala Demon Realm, living in uncertainty, and many have already perished. Although we don't have any good strategies at the moment, we must not let our guard down; we need to be vigilant against those assassins at all times." After a pause, seeing the astonished expressions on the faces below, Azure Vine continued, "Moreover, there are many cultivators in the State Government, and many of them are quite powerful, so you all need to be even more cautious of those assassins!"
Lingfeng and the State Government looked at Azure Vine in confusion. Some individuals were likely feeling anxious; if this was the case, it would certainly add to their worries.
Indeed, those below were showing signs of distress, and some were already unable to sit still.
Azure Vine glanced at everyone and said, "While Demon Cultivators are indeed powerful, they do not outnumber cultivators. However, if cultivators lose their composure and fail to cooperate or discuss matters calmly—if they instead attack one another—it will give the Demon Cultivators an opportunity to exploit. At that point, we might find ourselves at their mercy!" Below, Li Ba's face showed shame as he slightly lowered his head.
After hearing Azure Vine's words, Lingfeng smiled. It turned out that Azure Vine had noticed the tension between Li Ba and Jia Tian and was using this opportunity to subtly guide them.
The State Government sighed and said, "Your words are wise. After so many years of peace, the hearts of the people in the State Government have become somewhat scattered." A look of disappointment appeared on his benevolent face.
The crowd was thrown into a panic as if the State Government was about to abandon their position. They all stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "We are all willing to unite and follow your instructions!"
"Since that's the case, does anyone have any different ideas?" The State Government then regained his composure and asked softly.
However, everyone remained silent and deep in thought.
Lingfeng looked at the crowd, feeling puzzled. He wondered why no one among so many people in the State Government could come up with a good solution. Was dealing with the Mandala Demon Continent really that difficult?
"Things are too troublesome now. I don't want to harm the innocent, but I also want the people of the Mandala Demon Realm to retreat. The only way is to find the Spirit Priest," Jia Tian said.
They were still unaware that the Demon Lord Reincarnation had already appeared, so they could only shift their focus to the core figure of the Mandala Demon Realm, the Spirit Priest.
The State Government glanced at Jia Tian and said with some concern, "The Spirit Priest's cultivation is extraordinary. Even if we can find him, killing him will likely be quite difficult!"
"What's so hard about that?" Li Ba stood up again, speaking in a rough voice. "Although I have never witnessed the scene of many cultivators besieging the Demon Lord, I am confident that I can capture the Spirit Priest!"
"Oh?" The State Government turned his gaze to Li Ba and asked, "What confidence do you have?"
Li Ba had broad shoulders and a strong physique; he was also a martial arts cultivator.
Although martial arts cultivators focus on physical training and possess strength that can take on a hundred opponents, they generally do not know many high-level Spells. When it comes to dueling with cultivators of equal rank, martial arts cultivators often find themselves at a disadvantage. However, their movement speed is hundreds of times greater than that of Mind Method cultivators, which they mostly use to escape.
Li Ba raised an eyebrow and lifted his head like a victorious lion. "I have the Vajra Camp under my command, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. In terms of speed and combat ability, no one in the entire State Government can match them. It's just that we practice martial arts and lack the ability to manipulate Spells. So as long as you can send a few powerful cultivators as support, we won't have trouble capturing that Spirit Priest!"
Li Ba seemed very confident, but it was only because he had not experienced many battles. His Vajra Camp was composed of many individuals suited for martial arts training, most of whom had some level of cultivation. However, he did not understand the Spirit Priest's cultivation level and was boasting.
"The Spirit Priest has already reached Mid-Level Demon Control; it's likely that even all the people in the State Government combined would not be his match. Moreover, a Demon Cultivator's Spells are profound and could easily annihilate the Vajra Camp in an instant!" Lingfeng hesitated; he had witnessed the capabilities of the State Government and found it hard to believe that the Vajra Camp could possess such formidable strength.
