As time went by, some people began to get impatient.

"Officer, how much longer? We've been waiting for ages."

"Yeah, yeah, we haven't seen a single plume of smoke coming out. It's probably been extinguished by now. Can't we go back yet?"

"Ugh, what bad luck! I can't believe I ran into something like this while on vacation."

"This resort is so careless. There's such a big safety hazard. I'll never come here again."

As the tourists started chattering and making a ruckus, the police officers had to step in again to calm them down.

Some savvy tourists, however, remained silent and waited patiently.

"A bunch of idiots! Who sends SWAT teams to put out a fire? The firebreaks are already up; it's obvious something's happened. You think you're on vacation? Pack your things and get out of here!"

...

Fortunately, Chu Tianxing was extremely fast and didn't keep everyone waiting for long.

In less than half an hour, a blue-white lightning bolt streaked across the sky, striking the ground directly and then materializing into Chu Tianxing's figure.

After Chu Tianxing stood still, quite a while passed before a rumbling thunderclap finally sounded.

Such a grand scene amazed the onlookers in the distance.

After all, although there are quite a few awakened people in this society, people who can transform into lightning are rarely seen except on television.

Some people started cheering and clapping, but the police officers quickly stopped them.

Seeing the scene before them, many tourists seemed to realize that something might have really happened at the resort, and immediately stopped complaining and waited quietly.

Seeing that his companion was still complaining incessantly, he immediately tugged at the other person's clothes.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Upon seeing Chu Tianxing approach, the SWAT team captain opposite him seemed to recognize the old man, saluted, and then left.

Chu Tianxing frowned and pulled Wang Zheng and Chu Xiaoman aside, then asked, "Wang Zheng, what's going on? Xiaoman mentioned Chi Bofei to me on the phone?"

"Do you remember Qian Ruibo, whom I mentioned when I told you about discovering a new use for Holy Light?"

He's my dad's former comrade-in-arms. This is the shop he owns. I ran into him unexpectedly this time and learned that his mother was in poor health and was recuperating here. Since I'm also a healing specialist, he invited Xiaoman and me to try our healing techniques. And then…”

Wang Zheng immediately recounted his previous experiences to him in detail, without hiding anything.

When Chu Tianxing heard Wang Zheng say that his Holy Light Technique had directly dissolved the Heavenly Demon trapped inside Old Lady Qian's body, he was also very surprised. However, considering the special nature of Wang Zheng's skill, it seemed to make sense.

Chu Tianxing then led Wang Zheng and the other man back into the resort. Chu Xiaoman was so angry that she stomped her feet when she saw that her grandfather had no intention of taking her inside.

After Chu Tianxing and Wang Zheng had thoroughly searched the entire resort, experts from the Jingnan Military Region finally arrived with professional surveying equipment.

The white-bearded, kind-faced old expert in front of him immediately grasped Wang Zheng's hand: "You must be Xiao Li's son."

"Excellent! Not bad! Not bad at all! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! After hearing about your exploits on Butterfly Island, I wanted to find a chance to meet you, but I was just too busy and forgot."

Wang Zheng looked at the old expert in front of him and felt somewhat ashamed.

Chu Tianxing quickly explained, "This is Professor Gu Min from Jingnan, who specializes in the symbiotic relationship between demons and humans. She used to study alien beasts and was the former leader of the Jingnan Research Institute. After retiring, she was rehired by the military region. She is considered half a teacher of your mother."

Upon hearing Chu Tianxing's introduction, Wang Zheng immediately became serious and greeted him politely: "Professor Gu, you flatter me too much. My mother had mentioned you before, but I never expected to have the honor of meeting you. I should have visited you sooner, but I was afraid of disturbing your peaceful cultivation."

Gu Min was greatly relieved to hear Wang Zheng's words: "Good, good, I'm just a restless old man, how can I be considered a hermit?"

Haha! Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This man next to me is Captain Dang Liantao from the Jingnan Military Region. He came here specifically to protect this old man."

Wang Zheng followed his gaze and saw Captain Dang Liantao, a standard soldier with a buzz cut, square face, resolute expression, surrounded by spiritual energy and accompanied by a blazing aura. If Wang Zheng was not mistaken, he should be a fire elemental awakener.

He was dressed in military uniform, standing straight behind Professor Gu. He nodded to Wang Zheng after seeing his gaze.

As they talked, they walked toward Old Mrs. Qian's room.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Wang Zheng noticed that the brows of the group were furrowed, indicating that they could clearly sense the faint aura of the Heavenly Demon in the air.

These auras were all forced out of the old woman's body by Wang Zheng after he used the Holy Light Technique.

As soon as the group pushed open the door and went inside, they heard the instrument in Professor Gu's hand beeping, which gradually subsided after a while.

Gu Min explained to Wang Zheng, "This is an instrument we developed after a long period of research. The Heavenly Demon has a special aura, and we can detect its approximate location by detecting the concentration of this aura."

This identification method exists because they are not native species; however, if they are deeply entrenched within the human body and do not utilize their own abilities, the machine will be ineffective.
