The soldiers and the men in hats moved swiftly, surrounding the seven members of Tianji, not even sparing the air. If they wanted to escape, they would probably have to burrow underground.
Tianji was shocked. He never expected that these officials would arrive so quickly. The situation, which was clearly in their favor, suddenly became so troublesome.
He quickly surveyed his surroundings and noticed that the soldiers and men in hats were well-trained, with determined eyes and weapons in their hands, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.
One of them, holding a megaphone, said to them, "You are surrounded. Release the children now."
Tianji shouted, "What are you doing? We captured a harmful demon! Why did you suddenly surround us? We're just mortals; we can't tell what's real from what's fake..."
Shang Lin suddenly shouted, "You people are all capable of illusions and tricks. What monster can't you conjure up, let alone demons? So you say this child is whatever you want, but that's just you trying to escape your guilt by deceiving ordinary humans."
Shang Lin believed that as long as Tianji used any magic, Huangli, this little brat, would reveal his true form, and then nothing would be clear. It would be better to strike first.
Tianji was immediately enraged: "You brat, you're utterly ridiculous! We are a reputable sect, and evil is evil, and you won't escape us."
As Mo Rong pulled a pistol from his waist, he asked Shang Lin, "Which mountain did these old fogies come from? Do they think the world is still the same as it was a thousand years ago?"
After saying that, Mo Rong strode towards the seven people from Tianji. "Old guys, if you have your own strongholds, you should stay put. What are you doing running into the crowd? A prestigious sect? Exorcising demons? Do we need you? Give them to me and release them."
With each step Mo Rong took, the seven members of Tianji felt the pressure coming at them grow stronger, with an aura like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down from behind him.
This person's strength far surpasses theirs, and most importantly, they cannot even determine whether this person is human or some other demon or monster.
The seven members of Tianji instantly formed the Big Dipper Formation to counter the pressure brought by Mo Rong. However, Shang Lin took the opportunity to use the Servitude Contract to summon Huang Li back to the Dragon Spirit Tower.
Mo Rong's aura was too strong. If he got any closer, Huang Li would be exposed in no time. Even he himself would probably be affected if he held on for a little longer.
However, Mo Rong's aura is somewhat similar to that of the legendary fallen gods! It's almost a waste of his talents that he's taking over Situ Pojun's job in this small place.
Because of Shang Lin's preemptive strike, the sudden disappearance of the almanac didn't seem unusual to ordinary people. Moreover, Mo Rong's powerful aura was impossible for others to ignore; it was difficult for them not to feel it.
Seeing Mo Rong getting closer, Tian Xuan hurriedly said, "Stop! We're here to pick up our nephew. We don't want to cause trouble. If you attack us, it won't benefit anyone."
Mo Rong readily agreed and stood still. "Alright, then you'll come back with us obediently. Once we've investigated the matter thoroughly, we can let you leave."
Tianji immediately refused, "No, we still need to take our junior nephew back!"
Mo Rong sneered, "As expected, they are a bunch of old fogies who can't even understand human language. In that case, we should take them back and teach them a lesson. Let's do it."
