After leaving the Heaven and Earth Alliance's courtyard, the two went straight back to their own courtyard.
"Xiaomai, you rest first. I'll go and sweep around the town." Zhou Quan didn't want Li Mai to go out in the middle of the night; he could go out alone.
Li Mai nodded, "Okay, go directly to the woods behind North Mountain and find those caves where people can live."
"Hmm, Xiaomai, who was that man in black back then?" Zhou Quan asked before leaving.
“Gu Zhe, that man who claims to be my father from my past life.” Li Mai waved her hand, and a bamboo basket appeared in her hand, filled with oranges.
“He brought it over, saying he heard me say last time that I like sour food.” Li Mai placed the bamboo basket on the table.
“We don’t have this here. It seems he really is from the Southern You Kingdom. You can eat this first.” After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he opened the door, went out, and flew away.
Li Mai felt that Zhou Quan's current strength was more than enough to deal with a few small alien beasts.
After Zhou Quan left, he quickly used his divine sense and hearing to scan the town. After confirming that the strange beast's aura was not in the town, he quickly placed a restriction around the town and flew towards the back mountain.
In order not to alert the other party, he concealed his presence.
But he used his hearing ability, and he could hear any sound from miles away immediately.
Soon, he pinpointed a mountain area three miles away. When he arrived, he could already sense a strong supernatural energy emanating from the cave in front of him.
Such a powerful force must be from more than one entity.
He slowly approached, hiding in a tree opposite the cave, and used his divine sense to probe the situation inside. When he saw the bloody scene inside, he was shocked and immediately enraged.
There were five men in black in the cave, but in Zhou Quan's eyes, they were five strange beasts.
Before them was a magic circle, and in the center of the magic circle was a wine jar. From the demonic aura emanating from the mouth of the wine jar, Zhou Quan knew that the hearts they had dug out were soaking there.
It is true that the heart is soaked in wine, but there should also be five evil creatures inside to help them transform the power from the fresh heart into demonic energy for them to consume.
For these strange beasts, since they cannot absorb spiritual energy, they can only absorb demonic energy to cultivate.
However, since their demonic energy was less than one percent of the spiritual energy, the five strange beasts were extremely weak at this moment.
Among these five strange beasts, there is also a small Qilin.
Zhou Quan was furious. Had the Qilin family invited a Guanyin Bodhisattva who grants children? How come the Qilin reproduces so easily, and they don't even care about raising their offspring?
Zhou Quan surveyed the surroundings again and found no other strange beasts. He rushed in and decided to deal with these five first.
The five strange beasts were originally sealing off the Five Absolutes to absorb demonic energy, and they were no match for the power of the strange fire passed down from Zhou Quan's ancient divine beast.
In particular, Zhou Quan's primordial spirit was a second-generation divine beast, while those others had multiplied countless times, and their original divine power had been diluted to almost nothing.
Soon, the five animals were burned to ashes before they could even utter a sound.
Zhou Quan used his spiritual power to burn their newly formed primordial souls to ashes.
Afterwards, Zhou Quan dealt with the evil creature in the wine jar and the three hearts before returning home.
After Zhou Quan left, a dark figure vanished instantly from the cliff opposite the cave.
Li Mai had already prepared a change of clothes for him. "Go to your space and take a shower first!"
With a thought, Li Mai led him into the space.
Watching him take a shower, Li Mai sat silently to the side, wondering what was going on.
“Just now, Gu Zhe told me that when he arrived here, he detected the aura of strange beasts in this town, and he even chased one away. He said that with our arrival in this world, the primordial spirits of some mutated beasts also came with us. We don’t know the exact number; we can only deal with as many as we encounter,” Li Mai said softly.
Zhou Quan paused for a moment, "It seems that the man in black that the senior high school student mentioned saving their lives must be Gu Zhe."
Li Mai nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen recently. I've already dealt with those five. I've also placed a protective barrier in the town. If any more beasts venture into our territory, they'll explode and die instantly," Zhou Quan reassured her.
"Okay, so you can even cast such advanced restrictions now?" Li Mai raised an eyebrow and asked him.
Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Yes, with your help, my cultivation speed is faster."
“It seems we can’t go back to the village tomorrow. Go to the government office first thing in the morning and tell the town magistrate to send someone to comfort the three families who were victimized. Tell them that the Heaven and Earth Alliance also contributed this time, and that the government should incorporate them into the government. It’s good to have these people protect the people of this town,” Li Mai said.
Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that those people wouldn't do bad things again one day. This time they did very well and were wholeheartedly trying to do good. However, this was also because they knew that there were two people in this town who could suppress them: herself and Zhou Quan.
However, if they are guided onto the right path, even if Zhou Quan and I are no longer in the town, they can still turn towards the light and no longer turn towards bloodshed and darkness.
Zhou Quan nodded. "Alright, I'll mention it to the town magistrate. As for whether the government will take them in, it depends on whether the government will pay their monthly salary. If the government asks them to work, their thoughts will be different. They might complain about not getting paid or getting paid too little and become lazy. It's not a long-term solution."
Li Mai remained silent for a while, then carefully considered what Zhou Quan had said, and it made sense.
“You make a good point. Go see what the town magistrate says tomorrow. If he thinks it’s impossible to incorporate them, then give them a plaque and let them establish their own sect. They can stay in our town and do business to make money and support their sect. They should also make their own rules to regulate their disciples.”
"And the first thing they must do after becoming a legitimate sect is to protect the people of this land and not to harm them. Otherwise, the entire martial arts world can hunt down anyone from their sect," Li Mai added, sharing her thoughts.
Zhou Quan nodded, "That's a good idea. They've already declared themselves the Heaven and Earth Alliance, which shows they want their group to be recognized by the government."
For a sect to emerge in a certain place, it must obtain official approval; whether or not it has a plaque is secondary.
However, if the town magistrate could give them documents and a plaque, that would be the greatest reward for what they had done.
This is also the most opportune time to guide them onto the right path.
Zhou Quan also thought this method was good. In fact, the people from the Heaven and Earth Alliance in this town were just petty thieves, stealing things from ordinary people to make a living. As for killing people, they had never actually killed any ordinary people.
Zhou Quan and his team had heard about all this during their six months of doing business in town. Otherwise, Li Mai and Zhou Quan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to save their little boss tonight.
