Chapter 113 Return to the Market

Until the deadline of the January period came, the number of monks who returned safely did not increase much.

Xu Feng and the other three were considered the last team to return.

Seeing this situation, the faces of the leaders of the Liu family, the Tiangang sect, and the casual cultivator alliance became more and more ugly.

Before this operation began, no one thought that the losses would be so serious.

In the end, the three forces only decided on a winner or loser in private without announcing it to the public, and then hurried back.

When we came, each family took a boat and it was full of people. When we went back, three families took a boat and none of them were full. The contrast is too obvious.

As for the monks of the Tianjian Sect and the people recruited by them, they took a large flying boat together and followed the three forces to Tianyunfang City.

Another half day passed like this, and three flying boats landed outside the gate of Fangshi.

The huge crowds of people and the grand welcoming ceremony that lined the streets as originally expected did not appear. There were only monks in twos and threes walking in a hurry, queuing up to undergo stricter inspections than before.

"It seems that the news of the evil cultivator's troubles has spread to the city."

Seeing this situation, Xu Feng guessed, glanced at Luo Xinran beside him, and they jumped off the deck together.

"Listen, you guys, Yue'er will lead you later. First, go to the courtyard where our casual cultivator alliance is specially used to receive foreign guests. When will you receive the notice, you will leave."

The great elder of the Loose Cultivator Alliance came to them and gave instructions, and then followed the foundation-building elder of the Tianjian Sect into Fang City.

"Is this considered house arrest in disguise?"

There were only thirteen monks under the Loose Cultivator Alliance who returned safely this time. They looked at each other at this moment, and the same thought emerged in their minds.

But their arms couldn't hold their thighs. Since the foundation-building monks had given orders, no matter how unhappy they were, they had no choice but to obey.

Then, under the leadership of Shifenyue, everyone underwent inspection into the city.

He had been in and out of the market before and knew the inspection procedures. He just checked his identity token and let him go.

But this time, there are several more procedures, such as appearance registration, cultivation registration, and residence registration.

The most important thing is that on the top of Fangshi's gate hangs a small yellow-green bell, about three inches in diameter.

Every monk who wants to enter or leave the city must walk under the small bell. If the small bell does not move at all and does not make any sound, it means everything is normal.

But if someone passes under the bell-shaped instrument and causes the small bell to ring, it means there is something wrong with the monk.

The dozen or so guards guarding the gate of Fangshi will immediately take action to capture this person.

Don't underestimate these dozen monks. They are all elite soldiers carefully selected from the subordinates of the three factions. They are each in the later stages of Qi refining. The leader is a rotational foundation-building monk from the three factions.

After entering Fangshi, Xu Feng found that although there were not many monks outside, there were huge crowds of people inside Fangshi.

Many people heard that today happened to be the day when the demon hunting activities ended and those who participated in the operation returned, and they wanted to come and see the excitement.

But seeing that there were only more than thirty people, the monks who came to watch were dumbfounded.

"No way. I remember there were three hundred people when I left. Why did only so few come back?"

A monk wearing a golden robe and a red face asked his companion standing aside in disbelief.

"Didn't you hear the rumors going around the city? It was said that the monks who entered the mountain this time were ambushed by demonic monks and suffered heavy losses.

At first I thought this was a deliberate fabrication by someone with deliberate intentions to create chaos.

But now it seems that it should be true. "

The companion looked at the team that suffered heavy losses and sighed meaningfully.

"Ambushing three hundred monks will get a lot of manpower. So, is the demon sect really resurrected?"

The topic the two talked about was quite attractive, and soon other monks standing aside intervened.

"It's hard to say. If the Demon Cult really makes a comeback, it will be a catastrophe for our entire Wei Kingdom's world of immortality."

One person in the crowd lamented, but this issue is relatively sensitive, so everyone just chatted for a few words and then kept silent to avoid disaster.

Among the crowds on both sides of the road, Xu Feng saw Xu Tinglan, father and daughter Liang, who came to greet him.

The three people were extremely happy to see the two of them returning safely.

Liang Wan'er and Xu Tinglan followed them to their residence. After being blocked by guards, they reluctantly left.

"Hey, I didn't realize it, but our Mr. Xu is so lovable!"

Looking at Luo Xinran's half-smiling expression and listening to her somewhat amusing words.

Xu Feng smiled calmly and explained:

"Wan'er chased me all the way, probably because of me, but Sister Tinglan ran so far, probably because she missed you."

"Humph, if she missed me, she wouldn't have walked all the way and her eyes would stay on you without moving."

Luo Xinran said angrily.

"Ahem, what, are you jealous?"

Xu Feng teased while holding her hand.

"Nonsense, whoever is jealous, I am not."

Luo Xinran's face turned slightly red, then she shook off his hand and took the lead in stepping into the residence arranged for them by the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

This place is the same as their original residence. It is also a courtyard house. The difference is that this is a large house with three entrances and dozens of rooms in it.

Everyone passed through the corridor to transfer properties, and under the leadership of Shi Fen Yue, they arrived at the innermost courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Hou, you and your team will live in the east wing; Fellow Daoist You, you and your team members will live in the west wing. For the remaining three fellow daoists, you can choose the wing to live in.

Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Luo, you two live in the main room with me. "

After giving the instructions, just as everyone was about to disperse, she added another sentence.

"By the way, although going out is not prohibited here in name, you should be aware of your current situation, so stay in your room if you have nothing to do and try not to go out."

There are three main rooms in total, and one of them is actually three rooms, but they are connected to each other and occupy an extra wide area.

"Two fellow Taoists, how about you two live in the middle and I can just pick a room on the left and right?"

Shi Fen Yue Qian gave way.

Xu Feng naturally couldn't take it seriously. He smiled and shook his head and refused:

“We are extremely happy to have a place to live, so how dare we take over the guest house?

This room should be occupied by Taoist friends! Xinran, what do you think? "

"Yes, we can live on both sides."

"Okay, let's do that. See you later, fellow Taoists."

"See you later."

After saying hello, Xu Feng and Xu Feng did not go back to the house separately, but walked into the room on the right together.
