Dual Cultivation: Ying Yang is way to Chaos-Chapter 294: Instill Fear

"Junior brother, I think this mission will only waste your time. You should try some other ones. I have some missions suitable for you in this branch as well." Huan Meiqing spoke, as she thought that finding that devil was truly luck based.

Lin Feng shook his head. "It is fine, senior sister Huan. I have enough time. By the way, do you have any portrait of that devil?"

They must have had one, or else this mission would not have been posted for Spirit Origin realm disciples, as none of them could truly find him otherwise.

"Yes, we do, but I think it is not reliable. He must have disguised himself in some way." Huan Meiqing said. That was why she believed Lin Feng would only waste his time here.

Lin Feng took the last sip of his tea and nodded. "I see..." He was not interested in the portrait either way.

"Senior sister, is the fact that you are searching for him known to the whole city?" Lin Feng asked, as it was important for what he wanted to do.

"No, but the fact that some of our disciples are walking the streets while asking about the portrait has likely given most people the idea that we are searching for someone." Huan Meiqing said and placed her tea cup aside.

"Alright..." Lin Feng nodded and looked at her. "I want you to do something, senior sister."

Huan Meiqing raised her eyebrows. "What is it, junior brother Lin?"

"Just spread a rumor..."

...

An hour later, a rumor spread throughout the entire city. It was the news of the presence of a devil cultivator hiding inside the city.

This news would normally have caused great unrest, but since the city lord himself stated that he was keeping an eye on the whole city, everyone took it much more calmly.

There was another piece of news as well. The Frozen Heart Sect had brought someone who could identify this devil using a treasure, and they were confident they would find him within a few hours.

This calmed the people of the city even further. The Frozen Heart Sect never boasted. If they said they had a way to find the devil, then they truly would.

This news was unpleasant for only one person, the devil himself, and that was exactly what Lin Feng was trying to achieve.

...

"Everything is ready, junior brother. When do you want to go?" Huan Meiqing said, standing alongside several other disciples of the Frozen Heart Sect who usually searched for the devil using the portrait.

"Let us go then." Lin Feng did not need to prepare anything. His only preparation had been to instill a little fear in the devil. Now, all he had to do was walk through the city calmly.

Huan Meiqing nodded. She did not understand what he was trying to achieve, but since he wanted to do it, she would let him. It was not as if they had any better method.

There were five of them in total, including Lin Feng, and they began walking through the streets. The disciples walked in front, while Lin Feng, clad in a robe and mask, walked behind them.

It was not because none of them wanted to walk beside him. It was simply because he wanted to walk a little behind, to entice the devil’s inner thoughts.

Even if one was afraid to act because of the risk of being caught, their inner thoughts were not something that could always be controlled or hidden.

They began roaming the city from the center and moved toward the back side first. As they walked, people on the streets gave way to them, bowing respectfully as they passed.

The reputation of the Frozen Heart Sect was immense in the Northern Region. Unlike other top sects, the Frozen Heart Sect genuinely helped wherever need arose, so the people always respected their disciples.

Lin Feng was not ignored either. According to the information spread, he was the one capable of finding the devil cultivator, so people bowed to him as well.

Lin Feng did not react much to their bows and continued observing the city, as if searching for something.

The back side of the city was also a prominent area, especially for inns and restaurants, as they offered a beautiful view of the lake.

The city wall on this side was also lower, allowing an unobstructed view of the lake.

They walked through the entire back side of the city, but Lin Feng did not find what he was looking for. It seemed the devil was not hiding there.

"Should we go toward the front side now?" They were standing exactly where they had started, in front of their branch.

Lin Feng nodded. "Yes, let us go, senior sister Huan."

They continued onward, walking through each street toward the city entrance. Huan Meiqing and the others chatted among themselves, while Lin Feng kept shifting his gaze from place to place.

Just as they passed an inn that looked old and desolate, Lin Feng felt a faint killing intent. He stopped immediately and extended his spiritual sense toward the source.

He sensed a cultivator standing behind a curtain in a window of the old inn. When his spiritual sense brushed against him, the man became slightly alert.

Huan Meiqing and the others stopped as well when they saw Lin Feng halt. Before they could ask what had happened, Lin Feng used nearly all his strength and moved.

His speed was so fast that even Huan Meiqing only saw a blur before he reached the window. She was thoroughly shocked.

BANGGG!

The window shattered as Lin Feng burst inside and grabbed the neck of a startled man wearing a plain mask similar to his own.

Lin Feng removed the mask with flick of his fingers and the devil came to his senses.

"What are you doing, senior? You cannot attack someone inside this city... ungghhh!"

Lin Feng was holding a man who appeared to be fifty or sixty years old by mortal standards. He smiled faintly.

"You really know how to act. Do you think using blood to shrivel your skin would fool me?"
