Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

hoohoo!

Outside Mofeng City, a large number of demonic beasts crowded together, their roars continuous and rising one after another, along with various hissing sounds of claws clenching and teeth clashing, making them appear extremely ferocious.

Not only that, but some demonic birds spread their wings and soared into the sky, then suddenly swooped down towards Mofeng City.

As if receiving a signal, the horde of demonic beasts on the ground bared their fangs and claws and charged forward, fiercely rushing towards the front of Mofeng City, intending to break through the city gates and storm in.

Swish!

Just then, ripples spread out outside Mofeng City, followed by beams of light rising up and instantly enveloping the entire city.

Moreover, layers of restrictions emerged on the light screen, intertwining and unleashing terrifying power.

The next moment, beams of light surged out from within Mofeng City. Upon closer inspection, one could see that those beams were actually killing techniques such as golden lightning, fire, and wind blades.

puff puff!

In the blink of an eye, blood splattered among the horde of demonic beasts charging forward, and the sounds of flesh being torn apart rose and fell, accompanied by mournful howls.

However, these sounds were quickly drowned out by the continuous roars and stomping of the monsters, who seemed indifferent to the murderous attacks.

Even if many of their kind die, they show no fear; their pupils are blood red, their sharp teeth are bared, and they want to tear everything in front of them apart.

"These demonic beasts that emerged from the Ancient Green Mountain are indeed troublesome."

On the city wall of Mofeng City, a group of high-ranking officials of the city had gathered here, and the leader was a dignified middle-aged man dressed in purple robes.

He was tall and straight, with his black hair tied up and a jade crown on his head. His aura was incredibly solid, surging and profound. He was none other than Yuan You, the city lord of Mofeng City, and also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who was quite famous in the area.

Yuan You stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed as he looked down at the horde of demonic beasts charging towards him. No matter what methods they used, the beasts refused to give up.

Even though they didn't even touch the formation of Mofeng City, and even though they suffered heavy casualties, these demonic beasts still surged forward one after another, their ferocity was truly rare.

"This can't go on forever. Fine, pass on my order to open the battle merit list."

Yuan You watched as the continuous stream of light crashed down, bombarding the horde of demonic beasts. He then said in a deep voice, "Any cultivator who hunts demonic beasts can use the beast's corpse or aura as proof to claim merits in my Mofeng City."

"Battle merits can be exchanged for various resources and materials within my Mofeng City. The stronger and more numerous the monsters you hunt, the more battle merits you will receive."

Yuan You could see very clearly that the army of demonic beasts in front of him was just an appetizer; the second-tier demonic beasts hadn't even made their appearance yet.

If he makes a move prematurely and reveals his trump card, giving those second-tier demonic beasts an opportunity to take advantage, then things will be troublesome.

Moreover, these demonic beast armies are all fearless and ruthless. Relying solely on the resources of Mofeng City is probably insufficient. He can only open the battle merit list to attract capable cultivators to lend a helping hand.

"Yes."

One of the high-ranking officials of Mofeng City immediately bowed and then went down to announce the news within the city.

In an instant, the entire city of Mofeng was abuzz with excitement. Many cultivators, attracted by the items on the battle merit list, immediately volunteered to join the demon-hunting team of Mofeng City.

Xu Yun naturally received the news as well, but he chose to wait and see, mainly because the battle merit list released by Mofeng City did not have anything that attracted him enough.

To expect him to risk his life to fight against demonic beasts is truly wishful thinking. Moreover, he has earned a considerable amount of spirit stones through the Tianhe Tower channel during this period, and his wealth has increased significantly.

To Xu Yun's surprise, his sworn brother Lin Zuibai chose to join the ranks of demon hunters.

That evening, the sworn brothers and sisters gathered together again because of this incident.

"My mind is made up, so there's no need for you to try to persuade me any further."

Inside the Shuiyun Manor, Lin Zuibai sat upright in the main seat, looking at his two sworn brothers. Finally, his gaze fell on his family, a resolute look appearing in his eyes. "For the sake of my two children's future cultivation resources, I must take a gamble!"

"Father..."

Upon hearing this, the two children, who were being held by Yao Lin, whose eyes were red and who was sobbing uncontrollably, couldn't help but cry out.

They now have a basic understanding of the cultivation world and know that their father's journey is likely to be fraught with peril, which fills them with sorrow.

Lin Tanyu, in particular, believed that she had been indulging in playing and frolicking, which had delayed her cultivation, and that was why her father had no choice but to risk his life to do such a thing.

"Waaah, Daddy, please don't go! Tanyu promises to cultivate diligently from now on and never sneak away to play again."

Hearing his youngest daughter crying, Lin Zuibai's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, but he forced it down and looked solemnly at his two sworn brothers.

"Sister Wen, Brother Xu, if anything were to happen to me, please help my family."

For Lin Zuibai, there were no people more trustworthy than his two sworn brothers.

Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the complex emotions deep in each other's eyes.

In particular, Wen Lingyu originally wanted to accompany her older brother to join the demon-hunting team in order to increase his chances of survival, but was firmly rejected by the other party.

"Don't worry, brother. Good people are always protected by heaven. You'll be fine."

In the end, Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu agreed, and they even gave Lin Zuibai some protective talismans and pills as a token of their appreciation.

"By the way, if you need any materials from demonic beasts, you can let me know. Maybe the demonic beast army outside Mofeng City has some."

Although Lin Zuibai refused repeatedly, he couldn't persuade Xu Yun and the other two to accept it. However, to express his gratitude, he said this sentence.

By hunting down the demonic beast army outside Mofeng City, all the demonic beast corpses will belong to you, and you can also go to Mofeng City to collect battle merits and exchange them for rewards.

That is why many cultivators are willing to join. Lin Zuibai felt that he had received many things from his two sworn friends, and he would feel uneasy if he could not properly express his gratitude.

"If you insist on doing this, then please help me search for any traces of Bloodflame Beasts among the demonic beast army outside."

Xu Yun pondered for a moment before uttering these words. In fact, he had already considered the possibility of the Bloodflame Beast appearing in Mofeng City before the city was attacked by the monsters.

After all, the Ancient Green Mountains are the largest habitat for demonic beasts in the Yuan Kingdom, so the Bloodflame Beast clan should probably be located there as well.

If that's the case, then Xu Yun might be able to break through to the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique even faster than he expected.

Of course, these are just his conjectures, and even if he possesses divine sense, he would still need to go outside and face the demon beast army directly to conduct investigations.

After all, both second-tier high-grade formations and those Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding them will affect the performance of divine sense.

That's why, when Lin Zuibai said those words, Xu Yun also took the opportunity to make the same request.

"Alright, if possible, please do your best, brother."

Lin Zuibai nodded heavily, agreeing to Xu Yun's request. As for Wen Lingyu, she had no such need, only reminding him to be careful.

The next day, Lin Zuibai joined the demon-hunting team and went to hunt down the attacking demonic beasts outside Mofeng City.

However, to Xu Yun's surprise, a few days later, Lin Zuibai delivered an unexpected message to him.

There are indeed traces of Bloodflame Beasts among the demonic beast army outside Mofeng City!
