Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 125 - 101: The Roar of the Tiger - How Infuriating! Part 3
```
In the end, the Xuan Bird Clan relies on the Xuan Bird and the Great Witch!
As long as the Great Witch and the Xuan Bird are there, the Xuan Bird Clan shall remain unshakable like a mountain!
Once this matter was agreed upon, Shi Xintie and Yushengzi also began to inquire about the Eight Tigers under Chen Qing’s command, planning their own schemes for any who were yet unmarried.
By showcasing the Eight Tigers, Chen Qing was now firmly established in Cold Mountain City.
Next, it was time to wait for reports from the warriors beneath his command regarding the eradication of demons and Evil Cultivators.
Eradicating demons and Evil Cultivators was not as simple as directly charging into their dwellings or hiding spots.

If it were that simple, there wouldn’t be a need for annual eradication campaigns that never seemed to end.
The first step was to investigate and confirm that they were indeed evildoers.
Then came tracking, finding out their whereabouts and hiding places.
Demons actually were not too difficult to deal with; they came in two types, one that preferred to stay around its home.
And another type that wandered the world, here today, gone tomorrow.
The ones to be eradicated now were usually the home-loving type.
Evil Cultivators, on the other hand, were extremely troublesome, with difficult-to-find hiding spots and elusive traces, requiring a lot of time.
Of course, since the old priest has brought this up now, he must have some important clues, and most of the effort would be directed at capturing people.
After discussing the marriages of his subordinates in the mountains for three days, a team finally returned on horseback with more than a dozen heads hanging from their saddles.
Jiang Dahu was the first to come forward and report, "Lord Witch, your subordinate has pursued tirelessly for three days, and all fifteen Evil Cultivators of the Taiping Sect have been executed!"
Xuan Mang rejoiced, clapping his hands in approval, "Anyone who dares to touch our Xuan Bird Clan people, even the Taiping Sect, must be rooted out one by one!"

"Good, bestow my reward!"
Other teams of men and horses also began to return one after another, and Chen Qing felt quite pleased as he heard of one Taiping Sect member after another being eradicated.
See how you like being hunted down!
Three days later, most of the other teams had started to return, but there was still one team that had not yet come back.
After waiting a whole day, they were finally seen returning; out of the twenty-one who had left, only twelve remained.
The middle-aged man leading the team was covered in blood, and he came forward to report at the meeting, "Lord Witch, I have failed in my duty, please punish me!"
Xuan Mang’s eyes turned cold, "Speak, what happened?"
It was the first time such heavy casualties had occurred in the annual eradication of demons and Evil Cultivators, which made him irate.
The man reported, "We were tracking the Taiping Sect, and on the edge of Xuan Bird Clan’s territory, we discovered their stronghold, and to our shock, we found they were secretly mining a spirit stone vein!"
"I immediately led our men to storm in, but right after we eliminated the demon sect members, we were ambushed by a team from the Yuan Rang Tribe out to eradicate demons."
"We had just fought a battle and were no match for them, losing nine of our own!"
"Knowing the importance of this matter, I took the initiative to lead the men back to report to you, Lord Witch!"
Upon hearing of the spirit stone mine, Xuan Mang’s eyes flickered with a sharp gleam, but upon learning that the Yuan Rang Tribe had already taken it over, he stood up with rage and shattered the desk in front of him with a stomp.
"Fury consumes me!"
Chen Qing asked in a low voice beside him, "Isn’t it just a spirit stone vein? Is it really that important?"
Xuanping spoke softly, "Spirit stone veins are usually only found in Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and moreover, such places are likely to contain elixirs or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures deep within the veins, right at the source of the mine."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing also couldn’t help himself, stood up, and shattered the desk in front of him with a stomp.
"Fury consumes me too!"
