Since the last time he was in the Immortal City, it had only been a short ten days or so.

There were less than half of the cultivators on the originally lively streets. All of the shops had now closed and were in a state of depression.

Ever since the incident of the Divine Petrification Demon and the devouring of humans in the middle of the night, many cultivators had left the Celestial City. Those who were unable to leave were all shut their doors and doors, not daring to come out.

In this bustling ancient city, an unusual aura of death suffused the air.

The arrival of Jiang Feng and the others was rather strange, but they could only try their best to disguise their identity.

The 11 of them followed their previous plans and patrolled the streets, but after a day, they still hadn't found anything out of the ordinary.

However, a sense of unease still shrouded the hearts of the crowd. It was as if a pair of eyes was watching them from the shadows.

Night gradually descended. On the streets of the Celestial City, pedestrians were hurrying to leave as fast as they could.

When the God Petrifying Stone Demon appeared at night, it did not matter much during the day. Thus, in the night in the Li Chuan Immortal City, it was like a giant invisible hand of darkness. If one was not careful, it would be caught and die.

When the last rays of the setting sun faded into the horizon, the darkness completely engulfed the Celestial City of Mount Li. The streets, mountains, and buildings were all swallowed up by fear.

"Be on high alert!" She was wearing a golden tight suit, accentuating her tall figure. Her every move exuded a heroic aura.

She was a very loyal and decisive woman. Jiang Feng had only interacted with her for a single day and already felt that it was true. Everyone did as they were told.

During the day, he would only understand the situation in advance and conduct a simple search. The night was the time when he was truly important and it was very likely that he would meet with the person from the Divine Petrification Demon, so he had to be extremely careful.

In the Celestial City of Li Chuan, there were many experts hidden. Although there weren't any domain lord cultivators, there were still a few cultivators that had reached the Soul Realm.

However, even these people couldn't do anything about it. To cause such a commotion and kill more than ten thousand people showed how scary the other party was.

The night in the Celestial City of Li Chuan was too quiet. It was so quiet that it was outrageous. Not a single person could be seen, and the streets were empty.

It was autumn and the night breeze was chilly, adding to the bleakness of the place. The figures that could be seen during the day were all hiding at home, or they could leave the city as soon as possible. There were a few shops that were open during the day, but they were all closed after nightfall.

Jiang Feng and the rest of the eleven, after walking for half an hour, they still did not see a single brightly lit shop.

Under this kind of situation, any slight movement in the wind would give them a fright.

Only after two hours had passed did the night deepen. When he raised his head to look at the sky, he could see a bright moon with a cold aura. The thin moonlight gave the streets of the Li Chuan Immortal City a dreamy feeling.

"Senior Sister Ye Ling, are we not going to expose our tracks like this? Walking on the streets like this, other than us, there's no one else. It's too obvious. That demon with a petrified expression must have sensed something wrong and definitely won't come out." A disciple who was with Jiang Feng said, afraid that they would disturb him.

"We can't hide, or else searching would be meaningless. If the other party doesn't dare to show up, then that would be a good thing. At least we won't have any deaths tonight." Senior Sister Ye Ling said calmly.

Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense and nodded their heads.

The search continued, and time slowly passed. Until the early morning, Jiang Feng's group still did not find anything out of the ordinary.

The city was quiet. With the help of the moonlight, mountains and rivers could be seen. The streets were quiet, lit up by lanterns, making people feel more at ease.

Jiang Feng and the others hadn't received any messages from the other teams either, which meant that the others hadn't discovered anything.

Moreover, in the past few hours, Jiang Feng's group had met with other teams as well, and exchanged information with each other.

Although they did not discover anything, but if the person using the God's Stone as a demon did not appear tonight, it could be considered as protecting the people in the Immortal City. Their hard work had not been in vain.

However, not finding any traces of the demon meant that the problem had yet to be solved. Short-term peace could not be exchanged for permanent safety, and only by successfully finding and killing the demon would obstacles be completely eliminated.

Not only that, there were also several blood-colored divine stones in the Celestial City. If these stones were all demonic, there would still be quite a few people who would have to find one out if they couldn't and still had to find all of them.

In the latter half of the night, Yue Lang, Jiang Feng and the others searched through a few streets, but didn't find anything.0

The tension in everyone's heart was no longer as tense as it had been in the beginning. They were slightly more at ease now.

Since the other party did not appear, it was most likely because he feared them. No matter what, this was a good thing.

However, even though their tense hearts were slightly at ease, it did not mean that their bodies were relaxed. A rock was still pressing down on their hearts, and their whereabouts had definitely been exposed.

In addition, the Divine Petrifaction Fey didn't seem to be a puppet without intelligence that killed people. The fact that they could be found without any trace meant that they had a certain level of intelligence.

For a character like this who was hiding in the shadows, it would be even more difficult to deal with him.

Time slowly passed, until the sky turned white. Jiang Feng and the others could finally sit at a corner of the street, and they heaved a sigh of relief.

In the darkness, it was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at them, causing Jiang Feng and the rest of the eleven people to feel that at some point in time, someone would suddenly rush out and attack them.

As a result, the 11 of them felt as if their backs were covered in goosebumps. Under such high tension, even their clothes were soaked in sweat. At this moment, they were lying paralyzed on the ground, several of them breathing heavily, as if they had gone through a battle to the death.

"The investigation isn't over and this is only the first night. The fact that the other party didn't show up doesn't mean that we have completed our mission. Our goal is to capture the other party and then kill him. We will rest during the day and continue our mission!" "Let's go," he ordered.

"Understood!" Jiang Feng and the rest nodded in agreement.

Their resting place was located within the immortal city. They randomly found a teahouse or restaurant and it ended just like that.

It was a rare night, and not a single person died. When the sky was completely bright, the cultivators that couldn't sleep for the entire night began to move about.

When they found out that they were safe and sound last night, they felt incomparably grateful towards the Spirit Swelling Sect. Their mood, which had been shrouded in dark clouds for more than ten days, immediately returned to normal.
