C2948 Cause and Effect
Jiang Ting did not respond to the magistrate. Instead, he found an empty chair and sat down. Whether it was him or Green Bamboo, there was a high chance that they had only come to Gilded.
As for how to make the decision, it would be fine to leave it to Jing Peng and Fu Zheng.
As for the fierce battle, they could just leave it to the two of them.
Since the fiendish cultivators were unable to defeat Jing Peng... and there was also Fu Zheng who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, it would definitely be more than enough. Why would he need to interfere? Why would he need to fight for the limelight?
The wind would definitely destroy the trees that stood out in the forest.
Jing Peng nodded his head in satisfaction at Jiang Ting's low profile.
Then, he said, "Although that devil cultivator is cunning, However, senior brother, I have been guarding Zhao for a long time. It is not easy to deal with him. I have already roughly locked onto the area where the devil cultivators are. "
Fu Zheng instantly stood up, his face filled with battle intent." Then what are we waiting for? Let's move out now and eliminate that fiendish cultivator. "
"No." Jing Peng hurriedly stopped him.
Fu Zheng looked displeased. "Why not?"
Jing Peng shook his head and sighed lightly when he heard this. "That devil cultivator left a mark on my body when he escaped from me. Now, I'm still unable to expel him. If I were to head there, I would definitely be noticed by the devil cultivator, and I would not be able to completely eradicate him in a short period of time."
"Are we just going to wait like this?" Fu Zheng was even more displeased.
Due to Fu Zheng's talent, Jing Peng did not get angry. After all, if nothing unexpected happened to Fu Zheng, it would not be difficult for him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Why would he rashly offend him?
Therefore, Fu Zheng smiled. "This is also the reason why Senior Brother asked for help from the sect. ... Although I have a mark on my body, you have not met that fiendish cultivator before."
"Senior Brother, you want us to find that devil cultivator first and then stall him?" A look of understanding appeared on Green Bamboo's face.
"That's right." First, he nodded, then Jing Peng stood up. "After that fiendish cultivator met me, he must have known that the Purple Frost Sect had already noticed him. Although he hasn't escaped, he's still hiding in the northeastern region."
The northeastern region?
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up. The mountain village was to the east of Chang Ning County.
He had passed by the mountain village and the two nearby villages, but they were all very calm. It did not seem like there were devil cultivators.
Fu Zheng did not waste any time. "Alright, let's go look for traces of demonic cultivators now."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother."
Jing Peng hurriedly stopped him, and then exhorted, "The tokens on your bodies are all covered with formations. By activating them with magic power, you can send out signals... Fiendish Cultivators are fierce. After you find the Fiendish Cultivator, apart from entangling him, remember to send out a signal at the first possible moment to inform the others not to be harmed by the Fiendish Cultivator."
Green Bamboo's thoughts were much more meticulous, and she frowned." The northeastern direction is not small. It will be very difficult to investigate all of them in a short period of time. "
Fu Zheng also frowned. It was obvious that he had been too impulsive previously and had not been able to think about it carefully.
Jing Peng looked at Jiang Ting. "Junior disciple Jiang, do you have any countermeasures?"
He didn't really want to ask this question. In his life, the ninth level of Qi Refining would come to an end. Jiang Ting was still young, and he was also a disciple of Purple Frost Sect. He didn't want to become enemies for no reason.
That was why he was asking at this moment to give Jiang Ting a sense of existence.
"Just listen to senior brother's instructions." Jiang Ting revealed a smile.
He really did not believe that Jing Peng would not be able to do anything after waiting here for close to a month... It was better to leave the limelight to others.
After rushing for more than a month, and after accepting the mission, he rested in the sect for seven days... All in all, if it wasn't close to a month, what else could it be?
Jing Peng's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he instantly concealed it. "This investigation is not difficult. That fiendish cultivator is already at the 9th level of Qi Refining. He is ambitious and is trying to collect souls to use the formation to break into the Foundation Establishment stage..."2
According to Jing Peng, according to the latest information he had received, that devil cultivator had been stuck at the 9th level of Qi Refining for many years. As he aged, his chances of breaking through would be infinitely lower.
In his despair, the demonic cultivator fell into his turn. He had obtained the demonic method from somewhere and was preparing to kill living beings and collect the souls of living beings. He had set up a formation to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Because of this, Jing Peng was certain that the devil cultivator would not hide in the forest. On the contrary, he would hide in a village outside of the county and look for opportunities to slaughter living beings.
And because Jing Peng had fought with the devil cultivator before, the devil cultivator was worried that he would attract the attention of the Purple Frost Sect, so he definitely would not dare to make a big move within a short period of time. Therefore, if he went to the mountain village in the northeast direction to search, he would definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the devil cultivator.
Once they found him, they would send out a signal to surround him. As long as they could delay the devil cultivator for a while, the devil cultivator would undoubtedly die.
"What characteristics does that fiendish cultivator have?" The more detailed Green Bamboo asked.
"You don't know?"
Jing Peng shook his head. "Fiendish cultivators are actually very easy to recognize. After falling into the demonic path, their auras are no longer clear, and they are filled with turbid air. Furthermore, that devil cultivator has already slaughtered many people before revealing himself. He has collected quite a number of living souls, and the aura around him is definitely insatiable. As long as you are able to find him, you will definitely be able to recognize him at the first possible moment. "
After discussing for a while, Jiang Ting and the other two decided on their respective directions.
Although it was said to be the direction, it was actually just a few villages in the northeast of Chang Ning County. The three of them would search separately. In this way, they wouldn't have to worry about the devil cultivator discovering something fishy and escaping ahead of time.
In the middle of the discussion, the sky unknowingly lit up.
Before setting off, Jing Peng exhorted: "Junior Brothers, Junior Sister Green Bamboo, the fiendish cultivators are savage. When you find her, remember to send a signal immediately."
"Senior Brother, don't worry. We won't act rashly." With a reply, Green Bamboo and Fu Zheng leaped out of the pavilion. The two of them were searching in a northeastern direction, one to the north, and the other to the northeast.
Because they were leaning against the mountain village, Jiang Ting chose to search in the east direction.
Jiang Ting was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he cupped his fists at Jing Peng and left.
The sky was completely bright.
The chubby county magistrate revealed a slightly fearful expression. "Immortal Master, can we catch that devil this time?"
Jing Peng laughed in spite of himself. "Don't worry. Although many people have died, it was the devil who did it. The imperial court won't make things difficult for you."
"That's good, that's good..." The County Magistrate immediately relaxed. He rubbed the black circle and felt a little sleepy.
Because of Jing Peng and Jiang Ting's arrival, he had not slept for the whole night... It would be strange if he could still be energetic now.
...
After Jiang Ting left Chang Ning County, he decided to go to the mountain village first without any hesitation.
It was not that he was worried about something happening in the mountain village. Instead, he was prepared to search the north with the mountain village as the center. He could make a trip to all the villages that he needed to investigate.
As for the devil cultivators, they would cause trouble. If it was not for the mission from the Purple Frost Sect, he would not be interested in the devil cultivators. He had seen too many things. The earlier he died, the later he died.
If fate was destined to die, then he was destined to die. Even if devil cultivators plundered him, he wouldn't die.
In short, it was all fate. There was nothing to worry about.
