Did you catch a monster?

Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming exchanged glances, both perking up, but neither interrupted the shopkeeper.

Seeing that the two distinguished guests were captivated by his topic, the shopkeeper became even more animated, revealing his gossipy nature: "The Qu family has really lost face this time! At the banquet for the eldest son of the Qu family's Daoist partner, the bride openly reneged on her promise; and a demon even appeared at the banquet, revealing itself in front of tens of thousands of people and claiming to be related to the Hidden Sect. If it really is related to the Hidden Sect, the Qu family has probably stirred up a hornet's nest!"

"Little...monster," Ji Fengming couldn't help but ask, "How little?"

The shopkeeper hadn't expected Ji Fengming to focus on this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's said that the demon looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and before it revealed its true form, it was quite handsome..."

The more Ji Fengming heard the name, the more it sounded like Feng Hua. He rushed over and grabbed the shopkeeper's hand.

"I don't know about that, but he had a young girl with him who claimed to be the second young lady of the Hidden Sect..." The shopkeeper paused, then stared at the anxious Ji Fengming, and froze: "Young masters, you..."

"Don't be afraid, shopkeeper. We have nothing to do with the demons." Black Owl knew what the shopkeeper was thinking and made up a story. "Our sister was kidnapped by a demon, and we are looking for her everywhere. The demon that the Qu family captured is very likely the one that kidnapped our sister, which is why they are so anxious."

"Oh," the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, then looked up at Hei Xiao and Ji Fengming in shock: "So you are the Hidden..."

"It cannot be said," Black Owl said with a slight smile, feigning mystery.

Seeing his demeanor, the shopkeeper became even more convinced that they were from the Hidden Sect. Only someone from the Hidden Sect could be so mysterious!

The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel excited at the thought that he had actually made business connections with the Hidden Sect.

You should know that the three major sects and eight great families of Danling Continent are all talking about the Hidden Sect, which is something that even they cannot defeat when they join forces!

He is the absolute number one giant on the Danling Continent!

"Do you know what the Qu family did with that demon and the little girl beside him after they captured him?" Ji Fengming couldn't hide his anxiety and continued to press for answers.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of that. I guess the Qu family is having a headache right now, since it involves the Hidden Sect. I suppose they arrested people that day to save face, but now that they've calmed down, they don't dare to kill anyone rashly."

Ji Fengming breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his expression still betrayed his worry.

He patiently accompanied Black Owl as he selected several more pieces of furniture and utensils.

After agreeing on a pickup date with the shopkeeper, Ji Fengming hurriedly pulled Hei Xiao out and turned into a quiet, deserted alley.

"Xiao Chen, I think the little devil captured by the Qu family is Feng Hua. We have to go to Tianque City to save him," Ji Fengming said anxiously through telepathy, gripping Hei Xiao's sleeve tightly.

Black Owl glanced down at his sleeve, which was crumpled into a ball, and said, "Don't be in such a hurry."

The process of spiritual practice leading to complete demonic transformation is an extremely painful and lengthy one.

My suggestion that Feng Hua might have become a demon is just my personal speculation, and it may not be correct.

Moreover, Feng Hua disappeared in the Northern Region, which is so far from Tianque City. With his current strength, he might not be able to get there in such a short time.

"That's true, but I'm still worried," Ji Fengming said, his anxiety unabated.
