He didn't hide any details because he knew that this information was crucial to the National Metaphysics Group.

After hearing this, Old Wu's expression turned serious.

He nodded and said, "I understand. Please wait here for a moment, I'll contact the person in charge right away."

Qing Xuanzi sat on a chair, holding Rong Jiaojiao in his arms, waiting quietly.

Although he didn't know what the middle-aged man was going to do, he could sense that things might get complicated.

Rong Jiaojiao rested her head on Qing Xuanzi's shoulder listlessly, as if she were about to fall asleep again.

Not long after, Old Wu came out, a hint of relief on his face: "They're on their way. Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please wait here for a moment, and I'll give them directions."

“Alright.” Qing Xuanzi nodded. “But please, Fellow Daoist Wu, bring me some talismans.”

Old Wu nodded and went into the back room of the shop. After a while, he came out with a tray on which various talisman papers were displayed. He said, "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, please take a look and tell me which type of talisman paper you need."

Qing Xuanzi selected the talisman paper that Rong Jiaojiao needed for practice and said, "Give me all of these, however many you have."

Old Wu was delighted to hear this. They didn't have much else, but they had a lot of these low-level talismans, which were made by newcomers to earn cultivation resources.

He quickly got up and went inside, then came out a moment later with a sack full of low-level talismans.

Qing Xuanzi asked, "How much does it cost?"

Old Wu smiled and said, "Spirit stones, spirit pearls, spirit medicines, or other materials that are usable by the Xuanmen are all acceptable."

Qing Xuanzi glanced at Lao Wu. In today's metaphysical world, even spirit pearls are rare, let alone spirit stones and spiritual herbs.

He took out some low-level talismans that Rong Jiaojiao had used for practice and asked, "Can I trade these for them?"

Old Wu, still smiling, picked up the talisman, examined it carefully, and nodded: "Okay, but it can only be one for three."

Qing Xuanzi agreed and took out all the talismans drawn by Rong Jiaojiao, supplementing the missing ones with spirit pearls.

Old Wu took out a hundred sheets of top-grade talisman paper and asked, "Fellow Daoist, wouldn't you like to buy some of these talisman papers personally made by our group leader?"

Qing Xuanzi thought for a moment and asked, "How much?"

Old Wu held up one finger: "Five spirit stones."

Qing Xuanzi felt a pang of regret. Although he had obtained dozens of boxes of spirit stones of various qualities after acquiring the Qiankun Bracelet, he was still reluctant to use them recklessly.

But top-quality talisman paper is rare, and he eventually managed to get it.

Shortly after they completed the transaction, a series of hurried footsteps finally came from outside the store.

Qing Xuanzi looked up and saw five people in black uniforms walk in, three men and two women.

Their aura was powerful and their eyes were sharp, clearly indicating that they were members of a professionally trained metaphysical group.

The leading man quickly stepped forward and, seeing Old Wu and Qing Xuanzi sitting together, nodded slightly to Qing Xuanzi as a greeting.

Then he said to Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, we're here. What's up?"

Old Wu stood up and introduced them to each other: "This is Qing Xuanzi of the Xuanqing Sect." He then pointed to the five people who came in and introduced them to Qing Xuanzi: "The one leading them is Cang Daoquan, the person in charge of the Xuanmen stronghold in Bing City. Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, please repeat what you just said to him."

Qing Xuanzi repeated himself, and finally said, "I suspect he set up a formation in the alley to lure people from the Xuanmen sect into a trap."

"Although I could sense that his abilities were on par with mine, I had children with me, so I didn't dare to easily step into that alley."

Cang Daoquan said, "It's right that you didn't go in, fellow Daoist. Recently, many people from the Xuanmen sect have disappeared in our country. Now that I hear what you're saying, I suspect that there may be many such places in our country."

Qing Xuanzi asked, "So what are your plans next?"

Cang Daoquan asked, "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan said earlier that the person seemed to deliberately go to crowded places to attract the attention of the Xuanmen people, and then lead them into the alley?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "That's exactly what I suspect."

Cang Daoquan thought for a while before saying, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qingxuan could act as bait?"

Qing Xuanzi frowned, neither immediately agreeing nor denying. He said, "Tell me."

Seeing that Qing Xuanzi did not immediately refuse, Cang Daoquan continued, "I plan to set up a formation at the entrance of that alley to lure and capture that man in black."

“If Fellow Daoist Qingxuan appears at the train station and you see that person, you can pretend to be following him to attract his attention. When he reaches the alley entrance, we can take the opportunity to activate the formation and trap him.”

Qing Xuanzi frowned slightly. This plan sounded somewhat risky, especially since he was also taking Rong Jiaojiao with him.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can your formation guarantee that it can trap him? Also, do you have any other methods?"

Cang Daoquan pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Our formation is a carefully crafted array plate by experienced predecessors. Although it cannot guarantee that it will trap the opponent 100%, it can at least buy us enough time to make a move."

"Furthermore, we will arrange sufficient manpower to provide support from the shadows, and we will take immediate action once the formation is broken."

Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly, making up his mind that when they trapped the demon spirit, he would also set up a talisman array to protect himself.

Cang Daoquan seemed to see Qing Xuanzi's worries and continued, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuan, we understand your concerns, after all, you still have children by your side. But this operation is of utmost importance to us. We have already lost too many people in the Xuanmen, and we cannot sit idly by any longer."

Qing Xuanzi remained silent for a moment, knowing that Cang Daoquan's words made sense.

If we can catch that man in black this time, we might be able to uncover the truth behind the disappearances of the Xuanmen members and save more people.

“Alright, I agree.” Qing Xuanzi finally nodded, but he still made it clear beforehand, “However, I must also make it clear that if we are no match for them, I will leave with the child. I hope you can understand.”

Cang Daoquan nodded solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, rest assured, we understand. We will do our best to protect your safety, and we will immediately protect you and help you leave if there is any danger."

Qing Xuanzi breathed a slight sigh of relief and drew the location of the alley for Cang Daoquan.

After looking at the route map for a while, Cang Daoquan said, "Let's make the arrangements first. Fellow Daoist Qingxuan will arrive at the train station square in half an hour. If he is there, you can pretend to follow him."

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Then I'll take the child to eat first, and then I'll go to the train station. It'll be about the same time."

Cang Daoquan nodded and said, "Okay."

Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao away from the secondhand shop and headed towards a nearby restaurant.

As he walked, he whispered to Rong Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, if you sense any danger later, tell your master, okay?"
