Central City
Garrisoned in the Southern Exorcism Camp
Snap—
Murong Anhe's face was ashen, his angry expression ferocious and terrifying. He slammed his hand on the table and roared:
"What a bastard! Was that murderer just trying to fool us? He actually told us someone was dead? Did he see it with his own eyes, or did he kill him himself?"
“My lord, I have cooperated with him many times. Judging from this, I guess the reason he responded to us like this is because he doesn’t want to get involved in this mess.” Zhong Kang said with a gloomy face, “It seems that he knows the monster’s abilities and does not intend to offend him.”
"Hmph, what a coward!" Murong Anhe said coldly.
Zhong Kang narrowed his eyes, his gaze revealing cunning:
"My lord, why don't we try a different approach and find out the demon's weakness from that murderer?"
Murong Anhe stroked his chin and nodded. "For ordinary people who are greedy and forget morality, all they care about is their lives and money. They will never be fooled by us once! Zhongkang, you are in charge of this matter!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhong Kang said respectfully, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Murong Anhe changed the subject, squinting at Zhong Kang and saying, "I've had you studying under Tianzhi for quite some time now. Is he willing to teach you anything?"
Upon hearing Murong Anhe's words, Zhong Kang's face immediately darkened, and he spoke with a bitter expression:
"My lord, it seems that Tianzhi has not yet recovered from the grief of losing his son, and I am afraid he still refuses to accept me as his disciple."
Murong Anhe, his face cold, pounded the table and said angrily, "Hmph, he really is stubborn and foolish! Does he plan to take all his knowledge to his grave? At a time like this, he's still hiding his talents! Really..."
At this point, Murong Anhe looked worried, while Zhong Kang spoke calmly and coldly, "As far as I know, the fox demon came to the Zhi residence at Tianzhi's invitation. I suspect that if we hadn't discovered the fox demon's identity, Tianzhi would have taken him as his disciple!"
Hearing Zhong Kang's words, Murong Anhe's face darkened even more. "If that fox demon were to truly inherit Tianzhi's mantle, this world would definitely become a world of demons and monsters. I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"
Thinking of this, Murong Anhe revealed his killing intent:
"That fox demon is seriously injured now and can't possibly escape within a hundred miles. After finding out the fox demon's weaknesses, we must immediately leave the city to surround and capture him. We must eliminate him before he recovers!"
Zhong Kang nodded solemnly, "Yes!"
At that moment, Murong Xiaoxiao, who was hiding outside the door, heard that Murong Anhe was chasing a fox demon. Her heart tightened immediately: Oh no, Father has discovered the fox demon! Father said he was seriously injured, and he looks very badly hurt…
After thinking about it, Murong Xiaoxiao decided to go find Gu Liyan!
——
The lockdown order on the central city was lifted, and as soon as the city gates were opened, countless people fled, fearing that demons might invade the central city and bring disaster.
For a time, most of the people in the central city chose to leave, and now only large businessmen who could not leave quickly and ordinary people who had lived there for a long time remained.
The four city gates are under martial law and guarded by exorcists to prevent any demons from sneaking in and escaping...
Among the queuing crowd, a bloated fat man pressed down his straw hat, afraid that his true face would be discovered. This fat man was none other than Master Duxiu, who had come to Central City with Gu Liyan!
"If I'd known it was the Murong family guarding the city, I would have waited a few days before leaving, given how tense things were!" the fat man lamented. "If we'd run into that guy..."
"Miss, are you leaving the city?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man's anus tightened, and he subconsciously looked towards the speaker. He saw Murong Xiaoxiao swaggering out of the city: "That's right, I can also help find that monster! You guys keep a close eye on him, don't slack off!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Watching Murong Xiaoxiao leave, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness it wasn't her..."
Just as they were about to reach the fat man, a figure rushed over in a flurry, shouting, "You bunch of idiots, how could you let that stupid girl Murong Xiaoxiao out? Don't you want to live anymore?"
The one speaking was Murong Xiaoxiao, who was disguised as a man.
"I'm sorry, young lady..." the guard said in a panic.
"Get out! Call me Young Master!" Murong Xiaoxiao shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes, young master!" The guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Seeing that Murong Xiaoxiao wasn't paying attention to him, the fat man lowered his head and prepared to slip away in the chaos. Just as he stepped out of the city gate, Murong Xiaoxiao saw a back view that she would never forget for the rest of her life—
"Hey fat guy in front, wait a minute!"
Upon hearing Murong Xiaoxiao's words, the fat man stopped in his tracks, and without saying a word or turning his head, he took off running!
Upon seeing this, Murong Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted, "Pang Zi! So it really is you, you heartless bastard! Stop right there!"
The guard who had been scolded by Murong Xiaoxiao was speechless: Didn't she just call you "Young Master"? How come she's calling herself "Old Lady" now...?
The fat man didn't even turn his head, throwing down the words, "Stop chasing me! Even if you do, I won't marry you!"
Murong Xiaoxiao was immediately enraged and embarrassed. "Bastard! I don't need you to marry me! You stop right there!"
Just as Murong Xiaoxiao was about to chase after someone, she suddenly bumped into someone and was knocked to the ground, landing on her back.
"Ouch..."
The fat man glanced back at Murong Xiaoxiao with a hint of concern in his eyes, but seeing that she was alright, he ran off.
The guards rushed forward and helped Murong Xiaoxiao up. "Miss, are you alright?"
"Call me Young Master!" Murong Xiaoxiao said angrily.
"Yes, yes, young master."
Murong Xiaoxiao watched Pang Zi disappear into the distance, completely unable to catch up. She stomped her feet in anger, yelling, "That bastard! If he falls into my hands next time, I'll make him pay!"
