My Fairy Growth System

True Lord Mingyang gazed at the spot where True Lord Songzhi had vanished, a complex emotion surging in his heart.

Yu Qingtan had not expected True Lord Songzhi, the assassin from Misty Rain Tower, to be so resolute and crazed, not even resisting before self-destructing.

However, having eliminated the Nascent Soul assassin Nether from Misty Rain Tower was like collecting a huge interest from them.

At this time, many cultivators from the Tri-Sun Sect were alerted by the commotion in Tri-Sun Hall and rushed over.

Among them was a person Yu Qingtan recognized; the Supreme Elder of the Tri-Sun Sect, True Lord Lieyang Pei Lie.

True Lord Lieyang had once forced back the Howling Moon Demon King in Suichuan Immortal City, and Yu Qingtan had also seen him at the Nascent Soul ceremony of True Lord Xinghe from Wendao Sect.

True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Songzhi were both from the Pei family of the Tri-Sun Sect, but True Lord Lieyang was two generations senior.

The sect leader of the Tri-Sun Sect, True Lord Mingyang, explained the situation to the Nascent Soul cultivators via transmission and dismissed those below the Nascent Soul level to return.

After hearing about the incident, the expressions of the Nascent Soul cultivators varied; some nodded to Yu Qingtan as a greeting and then left, while others departed directly.

True Lord Lieyang cast a deep glance at Yu Qingtan before being the last to leave.

"Fairy Qingtan, do not worry. Elder Lieyang is a reasonable man and will not hold a grudge against you for this," True Lord Mingyang explained after everyone had left.

"Mm-hmm, no worries." If True Lord Lieyang bore a grudge against her, he would regret it.

"Sect Leader Wang, since Nether has been dealt with, the people of Suiyang Immortal City's City Lord's Mansion and those close to Nether should still be thoroughly investigated."

"Definitely, definitely, I'll personally handle this matter!"

Soon, True Lord Mingyang personally led a team and arrested all direct relatives of True Lord Songzhi in the Tri-Sun Sect and those from Suiyang Immortal City's City Lord's Mansion, interrogating them carefully.

Indeed, among the people of the City Lord's Mansion, another assassin from Misty Rain Tower was discovered.

It was the same Golden Core Cultivator who had disguised himself as the top card of Pleasure Red Pavilion when Yu Qingtan destroyed the Misty Rain Tower branch, code-named Charm Demon.

The Charm Demon's clone had been destroyed by Yu Qingtan, and not only was she unable to recreate a clone for a short period, but her soul had also been injured and was recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion of Suiyang Immortal City when she was caught red-handed.

From her, it was learned that Pei Songzhi, during his Foundation Establishment Stage, had joined Misty Rain Tower during his travels by chance.

Moreover, Pei Songzhi found that he greatly enjoyed the thrill of assassinating enemies, so he actively took on assassination missions, gaining not only rich rewards but also a strong sense of satisfaction.

During the Golden Core Stage, he used the Contribution Points from Misty Rain Tower to exchange for a Third Stage Nether Silkworm Gu, gradually making a name as Nether.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, he undertook many major deals, including the assassination of his own elder, which was True Lord Mingyang's junior sister. With the resources obtained from assassinations, he not only advanced to the Mid-Nascent Stage himself but also cultivated the Nether Silkworm Gu to the mid Fourth Stage.

Charm Demon was a ten-year-old girl he saved while on a mission during his Golden Core stage. Due to her decent Spirit Root, he secretly took her in and trained her to be an assassin for Misty Rain Tower. Of course, she also became an outlet for his desires.

Unfortunately, when True Lord Mingyang and Yu Qingtan wanted to interrogate her about information on Misty Rain Tower, Charm Demon also succumbed to a special Soul Constraint and perished on the spot.

Yu Qingtan was not surprised, but True Lord Mingyang felt somewhat regretful.

...

After dealing with Nether and Charm Demon, Yu Qingtan and her group duly visited Suiyang Immortal City, Jingyang Immortal City, and Ningyang Immortal City for "inspections," then left the Tri-Sun Sect to head for the territory of the Zongheng Sect.

Similarly, they began their inspections from lower-level Golden Core forces such as the Startled Swan Gate, the Floating Light Sect, Drunken Moon Villa, Misty Rain Manor, Fortune Spring Sect, and others.

When Yu Qingtan and her companions arrived at Fortune Spring Immortal City, belonging to the Fortune Spring Sect, the city's residents thronged the streets just to catch a glimpse of the legendary Fairy Qingtan, truly leaving the city deserted.

Yu Qingtan and her group, led by the Enforcement Team, patrolled the streets and shops of Fortune Spring Immortal City before heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Cheng Zhaohui welcomed Yu Qingtan warmly, and the two conversed with great enthusiasm.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Several loud explosions sounded, not far from the City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Qingtan and the others stepped out of the guest hall of the City Lord's Mansion and could see thick smoke rising from a distance.

"City Lord Feng, let's go have a look," said Yu Qingtan.

"Hmm," Cheng Zhaohui's expression turned somewhat somber. He had not expected trouble on the day the envoy from the upper sect arrived, and he was all too familiar with that location.

Yu Qingtan and Cheng Zhaohui transformed into beams of escape light, arriving at the scene of the accident in just a few breaths.

Actually, both of them had already sensed the gist of the situation through their divine senses.

A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator of the mid-stage had barged into a small courtyard and used three thunder grenades to kill over a dozen people, including a late-stage and an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, within that household. Two children were among the victims.

The scene was somewhat gory, with severed limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere.

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment culprit, a young man with a somewhat haggard appearance and a scruffy beard, stood dazed at the scene of the crime, showing no intent to flee.

With a point of her finger, Yu Qingtan activated her spiritual power to seal the man's cultivation level, simultaneously extinguishing some of the flames that were still burning.

Then she landed not far from the man, her brows tightly furrowed, and her tone carrying a hint of authority, "Who are you? Why commit such an utterly heartless act?"

The man remained expressionless, his gaze vacant, ignoring Yu Qingtan as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

"Fairy Qingtan, this courtyard was inhabited by a distant relative of mine, their entire family wiped out by this crazed villain. I think we should just execute this man on the spot as a warning to others," Cheng Zhaohui said, a mix of sorrow and anger in his voice.

"We still need to understand the reasons to prevent similar vicious incidents from happening in the future."

By this time, the Enforcement Team had also arrived at the scene, detaining the murderer, and then came to greet Yu Qingtan and the other.

"Do you recognize this person?" Yu Qingtan asked.

The members of the Enforcement Team exchanged hesitant glances, not daring to speak. The team's captain even stole a glance at City Lord Cheng Zhaohui, clearly apprehensive.

"Ah, I won't conceal it from Fairy Qingtan, I have some knowledge of this man," Cheng Zhaohui said helplessly.

"His name is Zhong Sheng, an outer city loose cultivator born here. He has been orphaned since childhood.

Luckily, he had a decent spirit root and a certain talent in the Talisman Dao. After struggling for several decades, he succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Later, he earned quite a few spirit stones by making talismans and even broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. He was discussing marriage with Miss Du Bingqing from the Du family.

But consumed by lust, he defiled Miss Bingqing before they became Dao companions; hence he was caught by the Enforcement Team. All his wealth was used as compensation for the Du family, and he himself was sentenced to ten years of labor in the mines."

"I did not defile Du Bingqing, I did not! I have sworn by the Heavenly Oath, why don't you believe me, why!"

Suddenly, Zhong Sheng, who was restrained by the members of the Enforcement Team, shouted loudly, his voice full of despair and indignation.
