In the following days, Lu Yi and Jiang Fan would cultivate inside the palace during the day and go out at night to try their luck, hoping to run into that devil cultivator.
Unfortunately, they never encountered the devil cultivator.
As for Bai Yulong, he had been so happy that he forgot to return ho, wandering through the various pleasure houses in the capital.
Lu Yi expressed disdain, although he felt a tinge of envy in his heart.
Similarly, the disaster relief work was in full swing.

Starting the next day, corrupt officials were being raided in Mohe Country's capital. Their assets were seized and used for disaster relief. Suddenly, the officials within the capital trembled with fear, deeply worried that their houses would be next.
Various orders were issued from the Royal Palace, all pertaining to disaster relief.
Among the displaced people, stories spread of an Immortal Master's compassion for the victims. Even when Lu Yi went out for a stroll, he could hear them.
Lu Yi felt a little smug about this.
......
Ti flew, and eight days had passed.
One night, as Lu Yi was cultivating in his room, a presence landed within the palace, and a female voice rang out, "Taoist Lu, Taoist Jiang! We've found the devil cultivator's trail!"
Lu Yi's eyes snapped open, a glimr of light flashing through them.
The next mont, his body disappeared from the spot, and the door was already open, though no one knew when.
In the courtyard of the palace, a middle-aged woman stood with an anxious face. Her na was Qin Fang, one of the two Qi Cultivators Lu Yi had t before, aside from Li Qing. Her cultivation base was at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
She was not young and possessed only diocre talent. Like another middle-aged cultivator, she had stumbled upon a Cultivation thod by chance and had beco a Loose Cultivator.
Just as Qin Fang was becoming extrely anxious, Lu Yi's body suddenly reappeared exactly where it had been, speaking out, "Where is he?"
Qin Fang was so scared her heart nearly stopped.
When had Taoist Lu co here?! How did she not feel his presence?
Doesn't he know that scaring soone like that could frighten them to death?
Qin Fang hastily reported, "He's to the north of the city. Mr. Li has already gone ahead!"
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow. In the past few days, he and Brother Jiang had visited every part of the capital. The central area was the Royal Palace, rchants thrived in the east, officials and wealthy rchants lived in the west, ordinary people resided in the south, and the north was ho to the lower classes with various gangs rampant and chaos reigning.
When Lu Yi and Jiang Fan first entered that area, so ruffians, seeing their fine clothes, had even thought about robbing them...
As Qin Fang spoke, Jiang Fan also ca out, his ordinary face bearing a serious expression. He said, "Junior Brother Lu, shall we go?"
Lu Yi nodded and asked, "What about Brother Bai Yulong?"
Jiang Fan's mouth twitched slightly, "I just went to find him; he's still in the pleasure house. It's not far from the north of the city, on the way."
Lu Yi rubbed his forehead, looking speechless, "Let's take him along then."
Jiang Fan nodded in agreent.
Lu Yi turned to Qin Fang, "Taoist Qin, you go first. We will be there shortly."
Qin Fang nodded and left.
Lu Yi and Jiang Fan instantly turned into streaks of light, disappearing within the palace.
Lu Yi's speed goes without saying, and Jiang Fan's talent was also rather impressive. Otherwise, he would not have apprehended the Foundation Establishnt Skill at just the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, his speed naturally not slow either.
Under Jiang Fan's lead, Lu Yi quickly arrived at a pleasure house called Spring Breeze Pavilion and found Bai Yulong.
Once Bai Yulong heard that the devil cultivator had been sighted, he hurriedly left the room, dressing as he went, and with him ca two ladies who looked at Lu Yi with lingering sadness, making him feel rather awkward.
Jiang Fan, on the other hand, remained composed, saying, "Let's go, we're setting out."
"Wait, let finish getting dressed!" Bai Yulong called out as he fastened his belt.
The three moved swiftly across the eaves, with Bai Yulong slightly lagging behind Lu Yi and Jiang Fan.
Lu Yi glanced at Bai Yulong and teased, "Brother Bai Yulong, speed up a bit, will you? Don't tell that frolicking in the flowers has left your legs weak?"
Bai Yulong stiffened, replying defiantly, "You two bastards were already faster than , okay?! A few days won't have any impact on !"
Jiang Fan also laughed, "Since Brother Bai's legs are weak, we shouldn't wait for him."
"Can't you two understand human speech?!" Bai Yulong's face turned dark.
Just then, a loud boom sounded.
The expressions of Lu Yi and his companions changed, and they quickly looked toward the source of the sound.
They were now in the western part of the city, and far away, low straw huts stretched out. Among them, one hut was torn apart, Spiritual Energy diffused, and shockwaves rippled through the air.
A blood-red streak of light shot out instantly, heading into the distance.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan's expression darkened, "Is that the devil cultivator?! Damn it, he's trying to flee!"
Bai Yulong's brows furrowed deeply, "He's too far, can we catch up? Li Qing couldn't stop him!"
They were still a considerable distance from the devil cultivator.
As the two spoke, they saw a streak of white light flash by, whirling with a wild wind that carried wisps of cloud.
Lu Yi, ensconced in clouds, surpassed them in just a few breaths and charged toward the crimson streak of light.
Seeing Lu Yi's speed, Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong gaped in shock.
"Is that Junior Brother Lu?! That speed... isn't it a bit too fast?!" Bai Yulong exclaid.
Jiang Fan was equally astonished, "With such speed, he would likely outpace an ordinary cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt second or third layer... No wonder Junior Brother Lu has always been at the top of the Qi Cultivation Trial List."
