Chapter 252 - 249: Diary of City Lord Gongsun Taixu - Part 1

Chapter 252: Chapter 249: Diary of City Lord Gongsun Taixu – Part 1

Outside the city, a cultivator guarding the space-time rift flew over with a bundle of grey demon wind.

“A new Qi Refinement Realm wind demon for you,” he said as he handed it over to them.

“Alright~”

After checking the token, the demon soldiers guarding the city took the wind demon away.

Once the human cultivator had left, several Qi Refinement Realm demon soldiers promptly surrounded the wind demon.

...

“Hehehe~ Wind demons are good at hiding things. How many treasures did you bring from home? Hand them over!”

Feng Xun looked disdainful.

“Just you lot think you can rob me? Even your City Lord has to speak carefully in my presence!”

This startled the demon soldiers, and then one of the more steady ones said:

“Then wait here, I’ll go call the City Lord and tell him you know him.”

Seeing the straightforward demon soldier about to go find the City Lord, Feng Xun immediately panicked.

He couldn’t expose himself as soon as he got here. He was on a secret mission and didn’t want to have anything to do with the City Lord unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if other demons didn’t take him into their circle, how would he carry out his investigation?

“Hold on! But then again… I do like to tell some minor lies, brethren, don’t take it seriously.”

…

The next day.

The noble members of the Enchanting Demon Clan all sullenly went outside Sunshine City to start tilling the wasteland…

“If there’s not enough Spirit Food, then just farm! Can living people starve to death?”

Evil Eye: “It’s living demons, City Lord.”

“Do you think I don’t know? Why are you trying to inflate your word count?”

Yang Fu looked at the laboring Enchanting Demons and sneered.

“Day by day, they don’t think about serious matters. It’s just that they haven’t worked hard enough. Let them tire themselves out for a few days, and they’ll behave.”

Just thinking about that man over 40, Gongsun Taixu, sent shivers down Yang Fu’s spine.

He had toiled for 49 years, only reaching the eleventh layer of Qi Cultivation. It would be a huge loss if the Enchanting Demons drained his cultivation!

Especially since his cultivation technique was special, needing to continuously compress his Spiritual Power to break through Qi Cultivation again, thereby ensuring he could encounter Heavenly Tribulation while in the Qi Refinement Realm.

Thunder Tribulation Body Tempering was simply too useful. As long as he could continue the tempering, he could defeat cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage with just his physical strength, just like his father had.

Thus, Yang Fu’s cultivation plan was… to cultivate a few more layers of Qi, until he could no longer suppress it, and then proceed to Foundation Establishment.

With the Divine Skill “Six Elements Return to Unity” in hand, he was not afraid of cultivators with Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, or Thunder attributes.

By drawing away the Spiritual Power of these attributes from around himself, he could prevent Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from harnessing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power in battle, reducing them to his level, and then easily defeat them in his most familiar domain.

The noble Enchanting Demons of Sunshine City being sent out to reclaim land truly shocked the demon populace.

“Even the Enchanting Demons have fallen on such days. Those damn female demons deserved to be put in their place by the City Lord!”

“Every past City Lord has been bewitched by the Enchanting Demons. Finally, we have a righteous Great Cultivator!”

“Hehe~ don’t get too happy too soon… When Gongsun Taixu the crook arrived, he too posed as a gentleman for a few days, but didn’t he still fall into the hands of the Enchanting Demons?”

“Even knowing they’ll be drained of their Essence Blood, they still persist tirelessly.”

As soon as this was mentioned, all the demons fell silent. History had shown that not just the male City Lords but even the female ones couldn’t escape the clutches of the Enchanting Demons. This was why the Enchanting Demons had been so brazen and untouchable for so many years in the city; all the demons dared not provoke them.

The City Lord of Sunshine City symbolized absolute power in this metropolis.

By fully activating the “Five Elements Demon Suppression Array,” they could refine all these demons in an instant.

“Let’s see how long this new City Lord will last.”

As the demons watched the Enchanting Demons, still beautifully dressed while doing field work, they cursed under their breath and then pulled up their trousers to attend to their own affairs.

Feng Xun, who had been forced to relinquish some minor magic treasures, had now infiltrated Sunshine City with the title of Old Demon Xun Feng.

He listened indifferently to the heated discussions among the demons.

“Hmph~ Being drained of Essence Blood by the Enchanting Demon Clan is because they didn’t learn dual cultivation techniques. If they had our Wind… Wind Demon Clan’s dual cultivation techniques, not only could they neutralize the danger of essence blood extraction, but they could also increase their cultivation.”

“Oh, isn’t this brother Hui? Weren’t you boasting yesterday that you knew the City Lord? If you have such a spell, why not offer it directly to the City Lord? That way, you’d surely be able to prosper in Sunshine City.”

Feng Xun’s face darkened as he heard the nickname given to him by the city-guarding demons.

“Don’t overdo it, you bunch! Take what’s mine and shut up. Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness!”

Wind enveloped his entire body, and a whirlwind rose beneath him, lifting him slowly into the air as he looked down imposingly at the few guards.

“Hahaha~ Brother Hui is showing his might. I’m so scared~”

“Who are you trying to fool? Wind demons from birth know how to ride the wind. Is that as high as you can fly? Too weak…”

“If I poke your jiojio, what can you possibly do to me?”

A city guard prodded the wind vortex at Feng Xun’s feet, then took a leap back, which was quite mean.

Since his youth, Feng Xun had been considered a genius, coddled and pampered; he had never encountered such dirt-leg members of the Demon Clan. Veins throbbing on his forehead in extreme rage…

“Enough! I’m going to send a few of you to meet the Demon Ancestor!”

Wind Spiritual Power surged in Feng Xun’s hands, and a furious whirlwind instantly lifted four Qi Refinement Realm city guards of the Demon Clan, leaving them without any strength to struggle, only to be held by the wind’s grip until their faces turned purple and black.

The other demons were greatly alarmed!

“This Wind Demon is actually so powerful!”

“It seems that Sunshine City has gained another great power of the Demon Clan!”

“Big brother, please take me as your little brother, I’m willing to do anything for you!”

Pfft!

Pfft, pfft!

“What are you daydreaming about! What’s wrong with poking you? Say it, what’s wrong? You’re going to kill me?”

Feng Xun snapped back to reality from his fantasy to find that the annoying demon soldier was still poking his foot.

He took a deep breath.

“Encountering me at this time… consider yourself lucky!”

Feng Xun’s mission was to go undercover among the Demon Clan, and he couldn’t be too ostentatious. At this moment, he endured the itch in his foot and snorted coldly, not bothering with those four mean demon soldiers.

“Boring, I’ll just brag about being awesome later.”

“I, Xun Feng, never brag!”

Just then, there was an exclamation from afar.

“The City Lord is here!”

Seeing Yang Fu walking this way, the demons quickly started minding their own business, not daring to misbehave.

The four irritating demon soldiers also hurriedly started selling off their meager homegrown Spirit Fruit.

“Hey! Xun Feng, come on and show your magic, the City Lord is right here.”

Feng Xun didn’t dare to use his Spiritual Sense to probe the person approaching from afar. He was afraid of being discovered by a fellow practitioner and getting exposed, as he wasn’t as sensitive and powerful with his Spiritual Sense as Li Yao, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to hide from a senior who could serve as a City Lord.

“Hmph~ I, Xun Feng, do things not as you wish. If I want to give, I give, if I don’t want to give… even the City Lord begging me would be useless.”

“Yo, yo, yo~ Xun Feng, you really got that attitude going!”

“Why doesn’t Xun Feng say he could suppress the City Lord with a flip of his hand?”

“If you ask me, Xun Feng should just suppress the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect and then take us to their Sect to enjoy the good life.”

“Hahaha~ Xun Feng suppresses through the ages!”

A group of demons found amusement with Feng Xun, egging him on.

Feng Xun’s face turned red and then black, wanting to give this group of dirt-leg demons a good thrashing and hang them up on the city wall to dry!

‘Just wait… once my mission is complete, none of you four will get away!’

….

Once aboard the Treasure Ship heading back to his Sect, Gongsun Taixu had a face full of regret.

“Finally… it’s over.”

“These years have really been… indescribable.”

“Those Enchanting Demons… not fit to be human females!”

His five years as a City Lord had been five years of being tempted and corrupted by the Enchanting Demon Clan, which he had recorded in a diary, now stored in his storage ring.

“In the future, I must take this as a caution!”

He took out his book from the storage ring.

‘Sunshine City’s Administrative Guidelines’

“???”

“Oh no!”

“Turn the Treasure Ship around! Turn it around!”

However, the Treasure Ship had already soared into the sky…

Meanwhile, Yang Fu, who had inspected the city’s current situation, returned to the City Lord Mansion and entered the former City Lord Gongsun Taixu’s administrative office, seeing a square and fair book on the desk.

‘Diary of the City Lord Gongsun Taixu’

“Presumably, this book contains records of how City Lord Gongsun governed. I must understand it well…”
