Chapter 421: Chapter 343 We Can Win Without Fighting (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_1

As soon as Li Xuan issued an order, the entire Shenyi Department bustled into action. Apart from Yue Qianqian, who stayed behind to peruse all the written materials related to the Demon Qilin, everyone else departed.

Out of the more than a hundred people, a small portion would go with Zhang Yue and Peng Fulai to investigate fresh fish and shrimp. The rest would be led by a few Six Paths Bureau Colonels to North City, to look into the residents who suffered severe blood and energy loss from nightmares.

Li Xuan wanted to use their abilities to see if any useful clues could be found there.

Li Xuan and Luo Yan also left together, quickly rushing towards the western side of the city.

Unlike Nanjing City, the Demon Market in Beijing has no fixed location. The situation for the monster species here is much worse, so the location of the Demon Market keeps changing.

As for where the market is located, they were not certain.

Luo Yan’s solution was to randomly catch a Candle Demon on the street and ask about the location of the Demon Market.

A Candle Demon, as the name implies, is a monster born from a candle and is beneficial to humans. They can assist humans in preventing fires; whenever a fire breaks out, the candles melt first.

"Impossible!" The Candle Demon, captured by Luo Yan, wore an expression of resolved death: "I will never betray my comrades–"

Luo Yan chuckled. The Hongxiu Knife flashed in her hand, and the stone wall next to them collapsed. Subsequently, she rubbed her ears: "What did you say? I didn’t hear you earlier, say it again!"

The Candle Demon took a look at the stone wall next to it, and honestly said: "It’s hidden in a large pine tree in Songshu Alley in Shiyong Lane."

Li Xuan looked at the broken stone wall and chuckled bitterly: "Wouldn’t it be better to use your illusion technique? It costs money to repair."

"Candle Demons, born from heartless objects, while they’ve gained emotions, have aberrant senses. Low-tier illusion techniques are basically useless, and high-tier ones are unnecessary. And it’s not your money." Luo Yan casually threw two teal silver coins into the yard next to them, then clapped her hands: "Let’s go back, we went in the wrong direction."

At that moment, the two had no idea that the ’Demon Qilin’ they were looking for was standing in the shadow of a tower ten miles away, staring at them with icy eyes.

A young man, about twenty-eight years old, with a stern face and holding a sword, floated next to it: "They’re looking for you, it’s a bit funny. But be careful, that Six Paths Bureau Colonel called Luo Yan is formidable, both her movement skills and sword speed are among the top ranks below the heavenly level."

"I’ve seen him in action." The Demon Qilin’s voice was freezing, surprisingly pleasant to the ear: "His speed is indeed very fast, but it can’t be compared to my Divine Power ’Years Fluorescence’. As long as there’s no obstacle between us, a single strike can send him off."

The sword-carrying young man appeared a bit anxious, but he nodded: "Either way, deal with him as soon as possible. Junior Sister, your current condition is precarious, you lost control inexplicably yesterday evening."

"It was an accident, someone boiled a basket of shrimp nearby, it aroused my beast-like nature–"

As the Demon Qilin spoke, its voice suddenly froze: "The time has come!"

It saw that Li Xuan and the others had come to a crossroads from a distance, not only were there no obstructions around, but the angle of view was proper. Numerous red electric lights gathered instantly on the Demon Qilin’s horns, making its body change from solid to phantom-like, looking like a mass of thunderclap. Only that horn was glowing brighter and brighter.

In the next instant, the Demon Qilin’s body shot out like a flash of light from the tower. Its extremely fast speed was hard for anyone to keep up with, even the sword-carrying young man, at the heavenly level, only saw a mass of red thunder light.

At this time, Li Xuan saw an old swordsman riding a green donkey coming slowly from the opposite street.

Li Xuan felt that his image seemed familiar, and after a brief moment of thought, Li Xuan bowed to him; "Subordinate, Li Xuan greets the Venerable of Qinglong Hall."

The man in front of him was the current Venerable of Qinglong Hall, the Heavenly Master’s mansion’s Zan Sect, Xue Yunrou’s Master Uncle ’True Lord Lingyou’.

However, like with Lei Zhen, he had no chance to pay his respects after coming to Beijing.

The difference was that Lei Zhen was avoiding him, while True Lord Lingyou was truly busy. Before this, he had been suppressing demons around Liaoshen.

After Li Xuan came north, he found out that the situation here was much more dangerous than in the south. There were three major sources of demons in the north: Liaodong, Bohai, and the frozen plain and North Sea located beyond the grasslands with countless big demons and great evils. Under the backing and manipulation of the Mogu people, they constantly caused trouble.

In addition, there were the Yan Mountain Range and Taihang Mountain Range, which have always been habited by demons since ancient times, but their threat was relatively smaller.

Therefore, the past Venerables of Qinglong Hall seldom stayed in Beijing and spent most of their time dealing with matters outside the city.

"Li Xuan?"

The sword carrier, who was originally reading a book on his green donkey, looked over at Li Xuan when he heard his voice and then started to laugh: "That’s a coincidence. When I returned to Beijing this time, the person I wanted to meet the most was you. I wanted to see the young hero who saved Longhu Mountain when it was on the verge of collapse–"

At the same time they were speaking, the Demon Qilin had turned into a flash of light, halfway across. But at that moment, its gaze froze slightly.

The Venerable of Qinglong Hall, ’True Lord Lingyou’?

—Why is this person here?

Without hesitation, it began to forcefully change its direction, veering sideways. The Demon Qilin was confident in its speed but understood that since it had a bit of a head start, it could not possibly be faster than ’True Lord Lingyou’.
