Rong Jiaojiao gripped Qing Xuanzi's clothes tightly and whispered, "Master, Jiaojiao feels danger right now."
Qing Xuanzi immediately became alert, his divine sense spreading outwards: "Where is the danger coming from?"
Rong Jiaojiao said, "It's the one from this morning. Jiaojiao's back has been cold the whole time, like this."
She shivered and her body trembled.
Qing Xuanzi really wanted to give her a good whack on the head; she was just too scary.
Although I felt relieved, I also realized that I might have underestimated the other party's methods.
Rong Jiaojiao's intuition has always been sharp. She could sense the danger, which meant that the other party might have marked her in some way, and that the other party could make a move at any time.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, Master is here."
Qing Xuanzi gently comforted Rong Jiaojiao while carefully searching her body with his divine sense, but found no marks.
Helpless, he had no choice but to continue with the plan.
After thinking for a moment, he placed a top-grade exorcism talisman and a top-grade defense talisman on Rong Jiaojiao before taking her to a restaurant for dinner.
It was past lunchtime, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. Qing Xuanzi saw that several dishes were sold out, so he ordered two servings of dumplings, handed one to Rong Jiaojiao, and said, "Jiaojiao, have some dumplings first. We still have things to do later."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, took the dumpling, and took a small bite.
Each serving of dumplings came in a large bowl. Rong Jiaojiao ate half of it but couldn't finish, so Qing Xuanzi ate the rest. After they finished eating, he took Rong Jiaojiao to the train station.
Qing Xuanzi held Rong Jiaojiao the whole time, and the closer they got to the train station, the tighter Rong Jiaojiao's arms tightened around Qing Xuanzi's neck.
Upon arriving at the train station, Rong Jiaojiao whispered to Qing Xuanzi in a trembling voice, "Master, that wicked thing that wants to eat Jiaojiao is here again."
Qing Xuanzi tied Rong Jiaojiao tightly to his front with a cloth bag, then enveloped the two of them with his divine sense, pretending not to notice anything amiss, and carried Rong Jiaojiao to the ticket office.
At this moment, a strong, cold aura erupted from afar. Qing Xuanzi scanned the area with his divine sense and, sure enough, it was the same person from the morning. He immediately turned around and chased after that person.
When the man saw Qing Xuanzi chasing after him, he led Qing Xuanzi towards the alleyway in a winding and circuitous manner, just like he had done that morning.
Qing Xuanzi cursed inwardly. Sure enough, they deliberately lured them here. They failed in the morning, and now they were trying to use the same trick again.
However, this time it's not up to him to make the decision.
Qing Xuanzi pretended to be afraid of losing him and followed the man closely. Sometimes, he could see the man pausing and waiting at the corner.
Only after seeing that Qing Xuanzi had discovered him did they continue walking towards the alley.
Qing Xuanzi was speechless. The purpose of this lure was too obvious. Was the demon spirit stupid or too confident?
He deliberately let his aura show slightly to attract the other person's attention, while using his divine sense to firmly lock onto the other person's movement trajectory.
The man seemed completely confident in his plan, utterly unaware of Qing Xuanzi's ulterior motives.
He led Qing Xuanzi towards the alley, completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap carefully set by Qing Xuanzi and the metaphysics group.
As they approached the alleyway entrance, Qing Xuanzi suddenly quickened his pace and charged towards the man.
The man was clearly not prepared for Qing Xuanzi's sudden acceleration. He paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and sped up his pace.
"Hmph, trying to run away?" Qing Xuanzi deliberately spoke loudly, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and talismans flew out from his hands, chasing after the person.
The talismans drew brilliant streaks of light in the air, instantly enveloping the person.
Just as the man was struggling to deal with Qing Xuanzi's talismans, the array at the alley entrance was activated instantly. Golden rays of light rose from the ground, forming a huge barrier that trapped the man firmly.
After being trapped by the barrier, the person showed no panic in their eyes, and even seemed to have contempt.
He coldly looked at Cang Daoquan, who had appeared outside the formation, and moved his lips, his chilling voice saying, "You think you can trap me like this?"
He smirked, as if mocking Qing Xuanzi and the others for overestimating their abilities.
His hands suddenly formed a seal in front of him, and streams of black mist surged out from his body, instantly filling the entire array barrier.
The black mist seemed to have a life of its own, frantically rushing towards the edge of the barrier, causing the golden barrier light to flicker violently, as if it might be broken at any moment.
Cang Daoquan shouted, "Attack together! We can't let him escape!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and the light of the array instantly became even more dazzling. Golden runes flowed across the barrier, continuously reinforcing its power.
The other four also joined in, simultaneously channeling their spiritual energy into the formation to help support its attacks.
As the black mist dissipated, the figure's aura suddenly erupted, and an even more powerful force surged from his body, directly crashing into the barrier.
The barrier's light flickered violently, and it looked like it could shatter at any moment.
Qing Xuanzi was shocked to see this. He thought this person was at the same level as him in the morning, but he didn't expect that the person was actually at a higher level than him and that he was hiding his strength to fish.
Knowing he couldn't delay any longer, he shouted and clasped his hands together. Golden talismans flew from his hands, instantly transforming into golden arrows of light that shot towards the man.
The light arrows drew dazzling trajectories in the air, carrying powerful energy as they struck the man fiercely.
The man was struck by the arrow of light, and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly recovered.
He formed hand seals again, and thick black energy surged from his body, instantly enveloping him and forming a huge black energy shield.
The golden arrows of light struck the protective shield, making a hissing sound, but they could not penetrate it.
Upon seeing this, Qing Xuanzi swiftly changed his hand seals, and even more dazzling talismans flew out from his hands, instantly transforming into golden dragons of light that coiled around the man.
The light dragons tumbled in the air, carrying powerful energy, and slammed into the man's black aura.
The black protective shield began to crack under the impact of the light dragon, but the man didn't care. He waved his hands, and streams of black mist surged out of his body, instantly repairing the cracks.
Qing Xuanzi frowned. His opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations, and it seemed that he had a backup plan.
Realizing that if they could not subdue the opponent quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable once the opponent broke through the barrier.
Qing Xuanzi quickly took out eighteen top-grade Heavenly Thunder Talismans. He had drawn these talismans using top-grade talisman paper and talisman ink made from the powder of necromantic insect eggs. Each one contained powerful heavenly thunder power, and he felt heartbroken every time he used one.
But he knew that only by using these powerful talismans could he possibly kill his opponent in one fell swoop.
