Chapter 422: Chapter 343 We Can Win Without Fighting (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_2

Yet, judging by its current state, barging in recklessly would be like walking into a trap.

The very next moment, its face slightly changed as the direction it was looking at was, shockingly, the palace city!

Li Xuan at the crossroads remained oblivious to all of this. He only noticed a flash of red light in the periphery of his vision, followed by a thunderous explosion coming from the direction of the palace city, kicking up clouds of dust.

"What is that?"

Li Xuan turned to look and his face changed, muttering incredulously, "Could it be that Demon Qilin? That’s the palace city. This beast really has the audacity of a bull."

He used the vision of the Azure Phoenix Niulang to gaze from afar and found that a section of the palace wall had collapsed. There was a black monster resembling a dragon colt appearing and disappearing erratically, before it turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.

True Lord Lingyou could no longer be calm. He shot up into the sky, "I’ll go and check on the situation. Li Xuan, I am aware of your Shenyi Department issue, just be patient for a few days. The Qinglong Hall has countless cases piled up every year, having someone share the load wouldn’t hurt."

He rode his sword and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Once True Lord Lingyou had left, Li Xuan and Luo Yan exchanged glances. The latter scratched his face, "Should we continue to investigate the case? I’m afraid the Demon Qilin is doomed this time."

"We’ll see."

Li Xuan continued to use the vision of the Azure Phoenix to observe, he saw that the area was flickering with the glint of blades and sword shadows, booming with Gang Qi, suggesting intense combat taking place.

However, the black fog then disappeared without a trace. A large number of palace guards and forbidden army troops surged out from the palace walls, dispersing into the surrounding streets for a search.

Li Xuan guessed the Demon Qilin must have run away. He shook his head, he spurred his mounts and continued towards Shiyong Lane, "Let’s proceed, unless the Demon Qilin has been captured, we cannot stop. The spots for its settling and hiding, which are related to the dream bugs, are still quite important."

They quickly arrived at Songshu Alley and found the large pine tree --which took ten people to encircle-- that the Candle Demon had mentioned.

Li Xuan glanced at the tree hole that could only allow one person to pass through, and as he extended his hand to point, the view in front of his eyes changed. There was a long street behind the tree hole, where one could see all sorts of monsters walking about. There were various stalls on both sides, along with numerous tightly-packed buildings.

Upon Li Xuan and Luo Yan’s entrance, these monsters immediately jumped in surprise, the whole street became a complete mess, total chaos ensued.

"Someone’s turned up, run!"

"The newcomer is the captain from the Liudao Division!"

"Don’t run, it’s only a captain, let’s gang up and take him down——"

"You go ahead if you want to fight, I ain’t messing with them."

In just the blink of an eye, half of the monsters on the street escaped. The remaining few had an aggressive expression on their faces, baring their teeth at them. Some even revealed their true form and started growling.

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and Shen Kui Lei Yin burst out. Purple and red Hao Qi began to suppress the entire field.

In that instant, almost all the monsters within a hundred feet around him had their ears bled. Those within twenty feet fell unconscious under his Hao Qi impact.

Then the street became completely devoid of monsters, all those left standing ran away in fear and panic.

"Quick, run! It’s the Purple Air! He was around here a few days ago."

"Serious trouble, he’s just an officer but he’s got some clout."

"Purple Air, he is the Hufa of Neo-Confucianism! The man the Demon King warned us not to mess with."

"Damn it, this guy’s Hao Qi is our bane."

Li Xuan looked at the emptying street before him, and couldn’t help but be speechless.

He only wanted to use his Hao Qi to intimidate these monsters, but he didn’t expect them to be so easily frightened.

"Come this way—" At this point, Luo Yan, holding a pair of Hongxiu Knives, entered the most luxuriously decorated bar nearby.

A large group of monsters was blocked inside by her. Anyone daring to escape was immediately killed. This made the numerous grotesque monsters inside the bar shiver in fear.

Upon entering, Luo Yan swept her gaze over the large hall and walked directly to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, I have a question. In the past few days, have there been any Dream Bugs gathering in Beijing? Where are they located?"

The shopkeeper, the most human-like among the monsters, clasped his fists towards Luo Yan and Li Xuan with a cold expression: "The two of you, us monsters have our principles too! All other monsters may fear you, but not I! If you can hear a single word from me today, consider it my loss.

Furthermore, this Demon Market belongs to His Majesty the Demon King. Your actions are like digging a hole in the head of the year of Dragon, His Majesty the Demon King definitely won’t let you off. If you’re wise, leave quickly, otherwise——"

Luo Yan smiled upon hearing this, revealing a hint of purple in her eyes: "Or what?"

The shopkeeper’s eyes seemed to burn with purple fire, he then laughed and bowed: "I was just joking earlier, just joking. I almost didn’t recognize you, it’s Duwei Luo. Regarding the whereabouts of the Dream Bug gathering, I’m not sure, who would be interested in such things?

However, there have been some odd occurrences in two places in Beijing these days, as if they’re on the verge of producing numerous monsters! It is said that regardless of the level of cultivation, all monsters disappear without a trace once they get close. His Majesty the Demon King intended to send someone to investigate, but she has yet to find a suitable candidate."

The many monsters in the bar silently watched the shopkeeper who claimed to have principles. Luo Yan shared a look with Li Xuan behind her, then grinned: "So, where are these two places?"

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Demon Market, the Songshu Alley, several figures quietly arrived.

The one at the front was Zhu Chiling, but this Fumo Zhonglangjiang was wearing a set of black clothes and had a tiger mask on his face. He looked at the entrance of the Songshu Alley, complaining discontentedly: "I just don’t understand, why do we have to dress up like this?"

"Afraid you’ll scare off the monsters, Zhu Chiling?" Mu Qiangwei, with her hands behind her back, jokingly said: "Bear with it! The deputy Venerable is holding a grudge this time, anyone can catch that Demon Qilin, but not the Tiger of Jinling. If our Shenlei Mansion loses to him, neither of us will have a good end."

She too was wearing a set of black clothes and a fox mask.

Following behind them, both disguised, Han Chuji and Sikong Yuan were looking at each other with a glance of meeting a worthy opponent.

"How impressive, Sikong Xiaowei. I thought my speed was the fastest. How did you find this place and why are you here?"

"What else could I be here for but the Dream Bugs?" Sikong Yuan said indifferently: "The Eunuch in charge of the Nine Doors had the formula for the bricks being used since the former Yuan Dynasty to prove his innocence. The formula contains a large amount of Star Blue Stone, which can block dreams.

Since the Demon Qilin doesn’t have the ability to freely traverse dreamscapes, it must rely on external tools. After much thought, I figured the only possibility was the Dream Bugs. I wonder how Han Xiaowei found this place?"

Han Chuji laughed: "I don’t have Sikong Xiaowei’s level of knowledge, but I found some fragments of Dream Bugs in Nanjuxian Lane."

Just as the four of them were preparing to enter the tree hole and step into the Demon Market, ripple-like distortions suddenly appeared at the entrance of the tree hole. A man and a woman walked out from inside.

"Li Xuan?" Zhu Chiling exclaimed in surprise, looking at the two people with utter astonishment.

Li Xuan looked puzzledly at the four, finding their voices somewhat familiar. However, their voices seemed to have been altered and he couldn’t recognize them after listening more closely.

"Do you know them?" Luo Yan looked them over while asking: "They’re acting suspiciously, they don’t look like good people."

"I don’t know them. They hide their faces, who knows who they are." Li Xuan shook his head, and then headed west: "Let’s go, catching the Demon Qilin is more important."

Behind him, Zhu Chiling’s face hidden by the mask was swelling with veins, and Mu Qiangwei was grinding her teeth. At this moment, she even had the urge to attack.

Han Chuji and Sikong Yuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with concentration and confusion. How did this guy manage to get there before them?
