However, before the middle-aged man could even grip the amethyst tightly, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind him and grabbed at him, but the middle-aged man was completely unaware.
Linghu Lan's heart was in her throat.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; who knows what important figure is coming next?
The enormous hand gently patted the middle-aged man's neck, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground without even a single exchange.
Such strength is unparalleled.
Linghu Lan had once heard from Beast that the president's strength was a sixth-grade Spirit Venerable, and only a seventh-grade Spirit Saint could slap down a sixth-grade Spirit Venerable.
There are only a handful of seventh-grade Spirit Saints in this world...
Thinking of this, Linghu Lan's heart pounded wildly, her gaze fixed on a spot in the darkness.
A handsome man with a refined and elegant appearance slowly walked out of the night sky. His dark eyes, illuminated by the starlight, seemed to light up the entire night.
A tiger-like pet was perched on the man's back. When the pet looked up and saw Linghu Lan, it jumped off the man and into Linghu Lan's arms.
Linghu Lan picked up the beast and gently stroked its fur twice. The beast stayed contentedly in her arms and even let out a long sigh.
Linghu Lan: "..." How much does she not want to go with Shenji?
She raised her head, looking at Shenji with a complicated expression.
She was heartbroken when she learned Shenji had left yesterday morning, but his timely return today has brought her immense comfort. He has become her whole world, and yet he doesn't want to stay in her heart? How absurd!
She said softly, "You're back? I was just about to come look for you."
Shenji silently observed Linghu Lan, instantly recognizing the complex emotions of sorrow and joy in her eyes, a strange feeling flickering within him. He turned his back and replied, "I'm here to find him!"
He brought Beast with him, and with Beast's guidance, they finally arrived at the location of the Monster Association after many hardships, only to find that apart from a few old, weak, sick, and disabled people, the rest of the Monster Association was nowhere to be found.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the monsters had found a post online that might indicate the whereabouts of the amethyst. The entire Monster Association mobilized to search for the amethyst, and in the end, even the association's president couldn't sit still and went there personally.
Shenji was immediately annoyed. With the internet so advanced now, even monsters use mobile phones and computers, and messages are transmitted much faster. Although he set off early, he was late.
He found his computer and read the news about amethyst posted online, and he felt terrible.
The address for the amethyst listed above is clearly that of Jiliang's little shop.
At that moment, his heart was struck by immense anger and pain. He had only been careless for a moment, and she had managed to provoke so many monsters!
Does she have a death wish?
Shenji didn't have time to think much and immediately rushed over. He also sent messages to several friends from various sects along the way, asking them to help intercept members of the Demon Association when they encountered them, especially the leader of the Demon Association.
Using this method, he finally caught up with the president of the Demon Association and stopped Linghu Lan from delivering a fatal blow.
It's fortunate that this method was used, otherwise there would have been even more monsters coming to Jiliang's shop.
After calming herself down, Beast glanced at Shenji and whispered to Linghu Lan in her mind, "Do you know how much he paid to come back so quickly?"
