Great Luck

Chapter 16: Self-reliance

Three days later, the Demon Hunting Group returned triumphantly, each one proud and confident, especially Feng Qingwu, who ran to the front of Zi Dong Cave Mansion, showing off:

"Zi Dong, lead the Demon Hunting Group to join the Demon-slaying Department. As the Chief of the Department, I appoint you as a Chief!"

"What Chief, Chief? Are you playing tongue twisters with me, the group leader?" Zi Dong glared at Feng Qingwu in annoyance.

"The Chief is the overall commander of the Demon-slaying Department, not some tongue twister!" Feng Qingwu became even more annoyed. Zi Dong was mocking the title she had come up with so hard.

"What overall commander? That's too ordinary. We need a Commander-in-Chief!" Zi Dong immediately retorted.

"Commander-in-Chief?!" Feng Qingwu muttered to herself while staring at Zi Dong. She thought it sounded good. "If we change it to Commander-in-Chief, will you lead the Demon Hunting Group to join the Demon-slaying Department?"

"The Demon Hunting Group is at the legion level. The Demon-slaying Department is not up to par!" Zi Dong sneered and turned back to the Cave Mansion.

"Hmph, legion? I'll make you come begging sooner or later!" Feng Qingwu stomped her foot in anger and left with a cold snort.

After Feng Qingwu disappeared, Zi Dong walked out of the Cave Mansion again and headed straight to the Elder's Hall. He wanted to discuss the first mission of the Demon Hunting Group with Elder Yuanchen.

But before he had gone far, he saw Zhou Xinyu rushing over and directly stopped Zi Dong, as she had just seen Elder Yuanchen.

"Are you saying that Elder Yuanchen wants us to find the Demon Race's foothold ourselves?!" Zi Dong looked at Zhou Xinyu in surprise.

"What? Are you afraid to go?" Zhou Xinyu glanced at Zi Dong indifferently and sat directly on his cushion.

"The Demon Race's foothold must have elders guarding it. Is it okay for us to go by ourselves?!" Zi Dong frowned.

"We won't directly take action. Once we find the Demon Race's foothold, we'll immediately return. What's there to worry about!" Zhou Xinyu stood up and walked outside.

"The Elder's spiritual awareness is so powerful that before we even discover the Demon Race's foothold, those Demon Race elders will have already found us!"

But Zi Dong stood still. What a joke, he only had Second Grade luck. In front of those Demon Race elders, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

"Don't worry, I've got everything under control!" Zhou Xinyu grabbed Zi Dong's arm and pulled him along.

"You're only at the Innate Realm. Can you kill those Demon Race elders?!" Zi Dong didn't dare to believe it. Going with Zhou Xinyu would be sending himself to death.

"I have a naturally powerful spiritual awareness. My mother said it's not weaker than that of a Void Shattering Realm cultivator. Before those Demon Race elders discover us, I can confirm the Demon Race's foothold."

While explaining, Zhou Xinyu continued to pull Zi Dong along. She was indeed a Void Shattering Realm cultivator, although she had sealed her cultivation, it was enough to protect both of them.

"How did Feng Qingwu find the Demon Race's foothold?" Zi Dong grabbed Zhou Xinyu's hand from behind. He still believed that it was too risky.

"Feng Yuntian is the Vice Sect Master, a Void Shattering Realm cultivator. How do you think Feng Qingwu found it?!" Zhou Xinyu asked angrily.

"Junior Sister Xinyu, did you forget that you have a father?" Zi Dong quickly reminded her. It would be a waste not to use her father's influence.

"That old man doesn't care!" Zhou Xinyu became even more annoyed. Zhou Yunting told Elder Yuanchen that the Demon Hunting Group should rely on themselves.

"Junior Sister Xinyu, are you the Sect Master's biological daughter?!" Zi Dong boldly questioned.

"I'll ask my mother when I go back!" Zhou Xinyu glared at Zi Dong angrily and forcefully pulled him out of the Cave Mansion.

Of course, she was not Zhou Yunting's biological daughter. Why did she suddenly decide to impersonate his daughter? Why not pretend to be his sister?

As the two walked down the mountain together, Zhou Xinyu finally found the answer. How could she be an old man's sister? Being his junior sister was already a stretch!

Zi Dong kept nagging along the way, even thinking about going to ask Zhou Yunting himself. After all, he was the Sect Master's direct disciple.

"I promise to bring you back to the sect in one piece, and I will definitely find the foothold of the Demon Race!"

Zhou Xinyu repeatedly assured, almost swearing to the heavens, before Zi Dong reluctantly followed Zhou Xinyu to fly towards the outskirts of the Azure Dragon Mountains.

Due to their cultivation of devouring techniques, the cultivators of the Demon Race had a very sinister and violent aura compared to the balanced and peaceful aura of the cultivators from the Dao sects.

They couldn't escape the detection of the divine senses of the Dao sect cultivators, even if they deliberately concealed themselves, they couldn't hide from the divine sense of a Void Shattering Realm cultivator like Zhou Xinyu.

Moreover, unlike the Monster Race and the Witch Clan, the Demon Race did not like mountains and forests, and they generally hid in villages.

Although Zhou Xinyu was a Void Shattering Realm cultivator, she was still a novice in terms of experience, but she was stronger than Zi Dong.

There were also many Demon Race members in the central continent, and Zhou Xinyu's master was the one who fought against the Monster Race, the Demon Race, and the Witch Clan to enter the central continent.

Zhou Xinyu not only obtained techniques from her master, but also gained a lot of valuable experience, especially in dealing with the Monster Race, the Demon Race, and the Witch Clan.

The two of them waited in a small grove until it was dark, slowly approaching a village in the faint starlight and moonlight swaying in the night breeze.

Zi Dong had never acted alone, he could only listen to Zhou Xinyu's instructions. After all, he had come to the Cloud Heaven Sect to find his father.

Moreover, he had exchanged himself for the villagers of the Bai Family Village and became a hostage for the Demon Race. With such courage, Zi Dong couldn't help but be convinced.

After leaving the Cloud Heaven Peak, Zhou Xinyu began to spread out her divine sense to investigate, and finally found this village on the outskirts of the Azure Dragon Mountains.

The divine sense of a Void Shattering Realm cultivator could cover several villages at once, making it easy to detect subtle fluctuations in aura.

Even at night, the cultivators from the affiliated sects would patrol the outskirts of the Azure Dragon Mountains to guard against a large-scale invasion by the demons, monsters, and witches.

However, these patrolling cultivators had low cultivation levels and couldn't perceive the concealed aura of the Demon Race.

The current Demon Race was no longer just a bunch of brutes who only knew how to devour. In their battles against the Dao sects, they had also learned formations and talismans.

However, the flames of the Demon Race were not stable enough, and they were still unable to refine pills or artifacts. They could only snatch them from the Dao sect cultivators.

"I found it." When Zhou Xinyu saw the village entrance from afar, she raised her hand to stop Zi Dong, confirming that there were Demon Race cultivators in this village.

"Wow, your divine sense can reach so far?!" Zi Dong's divine sense couldn't even reach the village entrance, but Zhou Xinyu had already sensed the village.

"Otherwise, would I dare to bring you here?!" Zhou Xinyu was very proud, and then signaled for Zi Dong to return to the sect.

The reason why Zi Dong was brought along was because searching for the foothold of the Demon Race was also a task of the Merit Hall, and Zi Dong would receive a lot of rewards.

Moreover, their master and Zhou Yunting also hoped that Zi Dong would follow Zhou Xinyu to gain experience and grow quickly.

But just as the two of them turned around and were about to fly back to the small grove and return to the sect, a pair of patrolling cultivators suddenly flew over and headed straight for the village.

"What are they doing?!" Zhou Xinyu was very annoyed. She had just found a foothold of the Demon Race, and these guys came to cause trouble.

"Should we go back and gather more people to take action tonight?" Zi Dong was decisive. Regardless of the intentions of these patrolling cultivators, they would definitely alert the Demon Race if they took action now. They should lead the Demon Hunting Group to take immediate action.

"If we go back to gather more people, these Demon Race cultivators would have already fled!" Zhou Xinyu disagreed and directly pulled Zi Dong towards the village.

"What are you doing?!" Zi Dong was startled. Wasn't this seeking death? There must be a Star Refining Realm elder of the Demon Race in the village.

"There is only one Star Refining Realm elder of the Demon Race in the village, and there is also a Star Refining Realm elder among the patrolling cultivators. We should be able to wipe out these Demon Race cultivators together!" Zhou Xinyu had made up her mind and acted together with these patrolling cultivators. The two of them represented the Demon Hunting Group.
