Understanding the cultivation insights of Grand Momentum masters!

Luo Feng took a shallow breath. He had read a few lines of the cultivation insights and already sensed their connection to the Grand Momentum.

Xu Zhi, his gaze hopeful, looked at Luo Feng and asked, "How about it? Can you lend me a hand?"

Luo Feng closed the Secret Manual and nodded. "Alright. But I can only spare three days at most."

His Grand Momentum cultivation was exactly at a bottleneck. This manual, recording insights about Grand Momentum cultivation, was a timely blessing. Luo Feng naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Three days are enough. I already have some clues."

Realizing the difficulty of this task, he had originally planned to give up. Unexpectedly, he met Luo Feng, and his mood could be described as a sudden turn for the better, like finding a path through dense willows and bright flowers. As for the Secret Manual, he couldn't understand what was written in it, so giving it away was of no concern to him.

"Tell me what you're thinking."

Luo Feng put away the Secret Manual and walked over to a nearby rock to sit down.

Xu Zhi said, "The three small towns that were attacked are arranged sequentially from south to east. They were all attacked one after another, so it should be the work of the same Demon Beast. It is likely cultivating by absorbing the vital essence and blood of people, and it won't stop here."

Luo Feng touched his nose and pondered. "You're saying it will attack towns to the east?"

"Exactly," Xu Zhi grinned. "This Demon Beast is so bold, attacking town after town. It certainly won't stop there."

Luo Feng agreed with this point and asked, "Do you know the nearest towns?"

"Hmm, I have already investigated. From here, 550 miles to the east, there is a small town called Wushan Mountain Town," Xu Zhi replied.

"Then let's get going. Hopefully, it hasn't made a move yet." Luo Feng stood up immediately, exerting his Light Martial Arts to speed towards the east.

"Wait for me!"

Xu Zhi, who had experienced Luo Feng's speed before, immediately activated his Light Martial Arts to follow.

The setting sun slanted westwards, dyeing the few white clouds on the horizon a blood-red.

At the edge of the Blood Chronicle Wasteland, two figures, one rising as the other fell, quickly dashed towards the east.

"Luo Feng, let's rest for a bit. We may have a tough fight ahead; we must conserve our strength," Xu Zhi said, quickening his pace to catch up with Luo Feng.

Xu Zhi originally thought that his Qinggong, even if it couldn't match Luo Feng's, wouldn't be much worse. After the journey, however, he was thoroughly impressed by Luo Feng's Qinggong. He was already somewhat weary, while Luo Feng still appeared as composed as ever.

Luo Feng glanced at Xu Zhi and nodded. "Then we'll rest for a moment before continuing."

The two found an open space. Xu Zhi immediately collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. Looking at the calm-faced Luo Feng, he forced a smile. "You really are a monster."

Luo Feng chuckled, sat down on the ground, and took out a Yuan Qi recovery pill to consume.

"Luo Feng, you also examined the bodies in the town. Did you find any clues?" Xu Zhi asked, lying on the ground.

Luo Feng thought for a moment and then spoke, "Besides what you mentioned, there's one more thing. The bodies in the town didn't have expressions of pain. This Demon Beast might be able to use Illusion Techniques to bewitch its enemies, or perhaps use poison."

Xu Zhi's expression tensed. "I can't believe I overlooked that!"

Xu Zhi felt a chill run down his spine, immensely relieved in his heart that he had asked Luo Feng for help. Otherwise, if he had carelessly fallen prey to the Demon Beast's Illusion Technique, he would have been utterly at its mercy.

"Let's go. We're only a few dozen miles away; we can't let it escape," Luo Feng said, clapping his hands and standing up.

Xu Zhi nodded. The two immediately activated their Light Martial Arts, speeding forward.

By dusk, Luo Feng finally saw Wushan Mountain Town.

"We're here." Xu Zhi looked at the town in the distance and exhaled, his expression slightly weary.

"Hmm, it seems we're not too late. Let's go." Luo Feng saw people entering and leaving the town gate and strode over.

After a while, the two arrived at the town gate of Wushan Mountain Town.

Two guards in armor stood at the town gate. They had large frames, and their auras were vigorous and formidable, clearly indicating cultivation at the fifth stage of the Iron Bone Realm.

"I'll go ask about the situation," Xu Zhi said to Luo Feng and walked towards one of the guards.

"Excuse me, sir, have there been any major events here in Wushan Mountain Town in the past few days?"

The guard eyed Xu Zhi warily. But seeing the impressive demeanor of both Xu Zhi and Luo Feng, he didn't dare to be negligent and quickly answered, "What do you mean by major events?"

Xu Zhi smiled. "I heard that nearby towns have been attacked by a Demon Beast."

The guard burst into laughter. "So you're afraid of the Demon Beast! Don't worry, our Townlord is a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Ninth Heavenly Court Realm! If any Demon Beast dares to come here, it will definitely be in for more than it can handle!"

Xu Zhi and Luo Feng glanced at each other, both seeing the wry smile in the other's eyes.

Luo Feng took out a piece of Silver and placed it in the guard's hand, smiling. "Thanks."

The guard weighed the Silver, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "Kid, you're quite savvy! Since that's the case, I'll tell you some good news. Judging by your looks, you must be Martial Artists. The Townlord is holding a grand feast today, and all cultivators can attend. All the maids in the Townlord's mansion are beauties; you wouldn't want to miss them…"

As he spoke, the guard winked at Luo Feng and Xu Zhi, offering an insinuating grin.

"Alright, we will definitely go."

Luo Feng touched his nose and entered the town with Xu Zhi.

"It seems that Demon Beast hasn't made its move yet," Luo Feng commented, looking at the bustling streets once they were inside the town.

Xu Zhi, preoccupied with their mission, furrowed his brows. "So what do we do now? Wushan Mountain Town is so large. If it doesn't show up, where are we supposed to find it?"

"Since we're here, we might as well take it easy. You must be tired after traveling all day. Since the Townlord Mansion is offering free food and drinks, let's go try them," Luo Feng replied with a smile.

Xu Zhi looked at Luo Feng and said with a laugh, "You're not thinking of going there to check out the pretty maids at the Townlord Mansion, are you?"

Luo Feng touched his nose and looked at Xu Zhi. "And you don't want to go see them?"

Xu Zhi clapped Luo Feng on the shoulder, an expression of camaraderie on his face. "I, Xu Zhi, knew I wasn't wrong about you! You truly are a man of passion!"

Luo Feng smiled, his eyes twinkling.

The fact that the Townlord Mansion's grand banquet only invited Martial Artists did make Luo Feng somewhat curious. Thinking back now, he didn't recall seeing any Martial Artists among the bodies on the streets of the previously attacked small towns.

The town wasn't large. After asking around a bit, the two soon arrived at the Townlord Mansion.

What came into view was an imposing building. Its Zhu Hong gate stood nearly four meters tall, adorned with beast-headed brass nails. Through the gate, they could see an open area behind it, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, from which bursts of lively chatter emanated.

On either side of the gate stood eight brightly armored Martial Artists. People were constantly entering the City Lord Mansion, and judging from their auras, all of them were Martial Artists.

"What a lively place! Luo Feng, let's go in!" Xu Zhi exclaimed, admiring the Townlord Mansion before turning to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded, and the two ascended the steps.

"Who goes there?" a square-faced guard asked, extending a hand to stop them, his tone stiff.

Xu Zhi replied, "I am Xu Zhi, a disciple of Nanmo Palace, and this is Luo Feng from the Purple Sun School."

"A disciple of the Twelve Golden Palaces!" The square-faced guard glanced at Xu Zhi, a glint in his eyes, and said, "Please, come in, both of you."

Luo Feng, standing to the side, had a slightly chilling look in his eyes. The moment Xu Zhi had identified himself as a disciple of the Twelve Golden Palaces, he had sensed a peculiar aura emanating from the square-faced Martial Artist guard.

"Luo Feng, let's go in," Xu Zhi said, heading towards the main entrance.

Luo Feng followed behind Xu Zhi. As they passed the square-faced guard, he asked, "Is the Townlord celebrating some joyous occasion to warrant such a grand banquet?"

"You two will find out once you're inside," the square-faced Martial Artist replied coldly.

Luo Feng nodded and asked no more, his eyes flickering subtly, his thoughts unreadable.

"Xu Zhi, there's something strange about this Townlord Mansion. Be careful," Luo Feng cautioned.

Xu Zhi, unconcerned, chuckled. "What could be strange? The Townlord is a late-stage Ninth Heavenly Court Realm Martial Artist, and with so many people here, a Demon Beast definitely wouldn't dare to walk into its own doom."

Just as Luo Feng was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill, as if something were watching him. He then chuckled. "Hmm, perhaps I'm overthinking things."

After walking a short distance, the brightly lit Townlord Mansion appeared before them.

Ahead lay an open area, encircled by a small creek, with a ten-meter-long stone bridge spanning it. Across the bridge was a plaza, festively decorated with lanterns and streamers, and filled with banquet tables. Young maidservants in colorful dresses moved gracefully among the guests.

Just as Luo Feng and Xu Zhi were looking for a place to sit, a fragrant breeze wafted towards them, and a beautiful maidservant stopped before them.

"Which of you is Xu Zhi, the disciple of the Twelve Golden Palaces?" the maidservant asked with a smile, looking at Luo Feng and Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi stepped forward, cupped his fists, and smiled. "I am Xu Zhi. This is the Flowing Cloud Region's number one…"

"I am Luo Feng of the Purple Sun School, a friend of Xu Zhi's," Luo Feng interjected before Xu Zhi could finish.

The beautiful maidservant didn't look at Luo Feng, merely giving a faint nod, her gaze still fixed on Xu Zhi. "Mr. Xu, you two are honored guests. The Townlord has prepared a private room for you. Please follow me."

The beautiful young woman's voice was like a soft, continuous drizzle, sweet and tender, possessing a charm that could make one's bones feel weak. She turned and led the way.

"This Townlord certainly knows how to enjoy life. Even his maidservants are so beautiful," Xu Zhi remarked with a laugh, looking at the maidservant leading them.

Luo Feng's gaze was calm as he nodded. "Indeed, very beautiful. A pity, though… beautiful women can be a source of disaster…"

Luo Feng murmured the last few words so softly that only he himself could hear.

Following the beautiful maidservant, the two arrived before a small, secluded building.

"Mr. Xu, please come in. The Townlord will be here to meet you both shortly. There are gifts prepared for you inside; I hope you will like them," the beautiful maidservant said, opening the door.

Luo Feng and Xu Zhi walked in. Inside the room, a table was laden with food and wine. Beside the table stood six young women.

"Mr. Xu, to become a disciple of the Twelve Golden Palaces at such a young age is truly an astounding achievement…"

As soon as the two entered the room, the six young women gracefully approached. All but one, who stood beside Luo Feng, surrounded Xu Zhi, whispering intimately to him.

"Sir, come, have a drink."

The young woman standing beside Luo Feng held up a wine cup, leaning towards him. She wore only a single layer of light gauze, and in such a posture, a large expanse of her fair skin within was immediately visible. Her soft, supple body almost pressed against Luo Feng.
