"Yeah, we're out now, there's no need to pursue it further!"

"That's right, he did it all for everyone, without any selfish motives, so you can't blame him."

"If you want to blame someone, then blame us too. We'll all apologize to you, and let's just let this matter go!"

Some people at the scene began to voice their support for Guo Zhan, and these were all civilian ghost hunters.

Seeing the atmosphere, Secretary Liu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Mr. Xia, Guo Zhan's behavior was somewhat reckless and indeed inappropriate. I will report this matter to the director and other leaders. I believe the leaders will give you an explanation on how to punish him."

Guo Zhan finally felt relieved when he saw that many people were speaking up for him.

He didn't believe Xia Tianqiong would dare to attack him under these circumstances.

Xia Tianqiong scanned the entire room with an indifferent gaze.

"I was able to get out because of my own ability. What if I hadn't been able to get out? Wouldn't I have been killed by him? Who among you has the right to ask me to let go of someone who tried to kill me?"

Furthermore, my conflict with him is a personal matter. This man is hired by the Liu family, and this is the second time he's tried to kill me. Should I spare him and give him a third chance?

After these words were spoken, silence fell over the room for a long time, and no one spoke again.

They didn't realize there was more to it than that.

Secretary Liu wanted to speak up and mediate several times, but in the end she held back.

Guo Zhan realized the danger and was about to turn around and run away when he suddenly found that his legs were frozen in place and he could not move.

"What are you doing? You can't kill me. I'm an official. Even if I've done something wrong, you have no right to punish me."

"I don't care who he is, whoever tries to kill me, I'll kill him!"

Xia Tianqiong raised his hand and used a Sky-Splitting Technique to cut Guo Zhan in half at the waist.

However, there was no bleeding from the cut surface.

"Xia Tianqiong, you can never kill me!"

Guo Zhan suddenly grinned menacingly, uttered only one sentence, and then his two body parts rapidly withered and shrank, eventually turning into a yellow paper figure.

Everyone present stared wide-eyed in shock.

They were shocked that Xia Tianqiong dared to kill someone in full view of everyone, and they were also surprised by Guo Zhan's methods, which included such a life-saving trick.

They looked at Xia Tianqiong, thinking he would be angry and resentful.

But he just smiled faintly.

"It's the paper doll substitution technique again. It seems they were prepared in advance."

Xia Tianqiong suddenly took out an orange-red hair from the bronze mirror, which then transformed into a chubby orange cat.

"Find me a person named Guo Zhan who possesses the paper doll substitution technique, and find his original body."

Meow~

The orange cat responded with a sound and turned its head to look in a certain direction.

Xia Tianqiong looked at Secretary Liu and said, "I have some things to take care of. Remember to give me points."

Everyone was speechless. This so-called "some things to deal with" was probably just a way to hunt down Guo Zhan!

It really is a fight to the death.

Secretary Liu squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Xia Tianqiong.

"Mr. Xia, could we postpone this matter and go with me to see Director Chen first? You can raise any opinions you have, and it would be best to handle this matter through formal channels!"

"This matter cannot be delayed. He will definitely not come back. He may go to Yuan Dun or seek refuge with the Liu family."

Xia Tianqiong's attitude was firm, so Secretary Liu didn't say anything more and instead asked, "Where are Captain Zhou and his team? Weren't they rescued?"

"I almost forgot about them."

Xia Tianqiong held the bronze mirror in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen people flew out from it.

Besides Zhou Boyu's team of five, there were seven or eight other members of the public.

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with shock and bewilderment.

The reason for their expressions can be traced back to when they first entered the mirror space.

Let's rewind to two or three minutes earlier.

Zhou Boyu and the others were sucked into the mirror space and were immediately shocked by the scene inside.

The rows of classical buildings with white walls and black tiles make you feel as if you've traveled back to ancient times.

They knew that Xia Tianqiong had made a contract with the Mirror Ghost and possessed a Mirror Space, but they never expected that he would make the Mirror Space look just like the real world, which was truly eye-opening.

But before they could even properly appreciate it, they were suddenly startled by a strange scream.

"They're all mine, nobody can take them from me, I want all these heads."

As everyone turned around, they saw an inconspicuous little tree next to the square, rushing towards them while shouting.
