"Hmph! Zhou Tian's Shunpo Illusion Technique, this small formation is right in front of me showing off!" Zhou Qing coldly laughed. He had long discovered that someone was following him and didn't expect the opponent to make a move in broad daylight on the street. However, Zhou Tian's Shunpo Illusion Technique was an illusion technique that confused the enemy, then moved the enemy into a formation prepared in advance, and then slaughtered them. The illusion was nothing special, but this moving technique involved spatial changes, consuming more spiritual energy, and also required excellent treasures to cooperate. The stronger the formation, the harder it was to move in, and the consumed spiritual energy increased tenfold. Few people did such an unprofitable thing. If you want to deal with the enemy, it's better to fight directly.
They must have known that fighting on the main street would be shocking and dared not to come, wanting to move themselves four people to a quiet place for disposal.
Zhou Qing finally understood the difficulties of the demon, and on a whim, pulled out three people to take a walk, forgetting to cover up the aura on their bodies for a moment. The Taoist priest who subdued demons and evil spirits came to the door. Liao Xiao Jin was fine, originally human, others couldn't tell, but Zhou Chen and Little Fox had thick demonic energy on them, anyone with some cultivation would know they were not human.
Zhou Qing didn't flinch as the situation unfolded, and could have easily broken through Zhou Tian's teleportation illusion. However, he wanted to see what kind of powerful being his opponent was, so he held onto the three people and remained vigilant, allowing the formation to teleport the four of them away.
In a flash of light, the four people who were originally on the street disappeared without a trace. The street was once again filled with crowds of people, and yet, the surrounding crowd seemed to have no feeling about the disappearance of the four people.
In an instant, the four of them appeared in a small grove, Zhou Qing looked around and found the environment very familiar, it was indeed the suburbs not far from the city. Zhou Qing thought to himself, it seems that this person who used the array is not very skilled, the highest level of Zhou Tian's teleportation technique can instantly move people thousands of miles away, now it's just a few dozen miles, but it's also possible that the opponent did it on purpose.
He gave Liao Xiao Jin a wink, and Liao Xiao Jin didn't know what to do. He had been following Zhou Qing for so long that he knew him better than the worms in his stomach. Taking a step forward, Liao Xiao Jin bowed towards the seemingly empty forest and said loudly, "Fellow Taoist He, why are you playing this kind of trick on us?" The display was so impressive that even the little fox couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm! Monster! Who is your Taoist friend!" A clear but somewhat rude tone came out, making Zhou Qing very uncomfortable. A woman and three men appeared from the woods. They were all in their early twenties, and the three men were all handsome and elegant, comparable to Liao Xiao Jin, but without the noble aura that Liao Xiao Jin had due to his vampire heritage. Adding to that, Liao Xiao Jin was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, making him look more refined than the other four.
Zhou Qing felt a bit uncomfortable with the subtle arrogance on the faces of the three men and one woman. The girl was holding a palm-sized mirror that emitted an aura, which was likely the treasure that activated Zhou Tian's teleportation technique. The hands of the three men were flashing with colorful lights, and there was a faint wave of magical power emanating from them.
The treasures in their hands are not ordinary goods, should they kill people to rob them? Zhou Qing thought to himself. Those three men and one woman had no idea that they were being considered by Zhou Qing as candidates for killing or sparing.
The girl stepped forward and shouted in a coquettish voice: "What kind of monsters are you? Are you registered? How can you wander around in the crowd in broad daylight, don't you know about the ban?"
When the girl's words came out of her mouth, not to mention Liao Xiao Jin, even Zhou Qing felt inexplicable. What registration, what ban, how could such fresh words be related to monsters? Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Chen with suspicion.
Zhou Chen naturally understood the meaning and quickly explained: "We demons are in a weak position, but we also have great influence. The country is afraid that we will cause trouble, so they have been working with the Taoist sect to suppress our existence. Although the Taoist sect is powerful, it's impossible for them to wipe us out completely. They're also afraid that if we become desperate, we'll cause some kind of incident. So several decades ago, they came up with this rule: all demons must register with a government department and stay in one place. We're not allowed to cause trouble or harm humans, and we're not allowed to appear in public during the day. There are roughly three prohibitions. The Taoist sect won't come looking for trouble, and it's considered peaceful coexistence. However, there are also some powerful demons that don't follow these rules, and neither the country nor the Taoist sect can do anything about them. Tian Xuan Blood Demon is one of them."
"Monster! Miss, I'm not a monster!" Although it was very quiet, Liao Xiao Jin also heard Zhou Chen's explanation. He secretly pitied the situation of Chinese monsters, who seemed to have lost their personal freedom. His good impression of this group of people suddenly dropped to negative numbers. However, seeing that Zhou Qing didn't speak up, he couldn't make a move either, so he just played along.
"Shut up! We weren't talking about you, we were talking about those two foxes. You get out of the way and don't interfere, you seem to have some skills too, being with a demon and all. Later on, I'll take you back and interrogate you properly." A man said haughtily.
As soon as he heard the two words "fox spirit", Zhou Cang's face changed and he was about to take action, but was pulled back by Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Qing, who was calm and composed, and whispered to Zhou Cang: "Sister, don't be reckless, they are from the National Security Department, arrogant and spoiled, we shouldn't clash with them."
"We're both registered, this is our ID." In Liao Xiaojin's astonished gaze, Zhou Chen took out two red books and handed them over. Another man took the documents, flipped through them, and casually threw them on the ground. Liao Xiaojin's face turned cold, his mouth slightly open, about to shoot out his flying sword to kill someone. Zhou Chen saw his movement and naturally knew what Liao Xiaojin was going to do, so he quickly pulled him back secretly and transmitted a message: "Master brother, they are national personnel, we can't beat them, don't be impulsive, let's see what Master says."
Liao Xiaojin remembered Zhou Qing's warning to himself, and indeed, the people of the country were not easy to move. Seeing Zhou Qing being indifferent there, Liao Xiaojin could only give up.
As soon as Zhou Chen picked up the two documents, the three men burst out laughing and said: "So you're a seductive fox spirit! Indeed, it's quite flavorful. However, you've broken the taboo by appearing in a crowded place during the day. We need to take you back for investigation."
"And you! You too, come with us!" The girl also spoke up, pointing at Zhou Qing and Liao Xiao Jin. "Which sect are you disciples of? Why are you together with a demon? You'd better explain clearly, or we won't be polite!"
"You've been too polite to us!" Zhou Cang said indignantly upon hearing the girl's words.
That girl suddenly became furious: "What are you, a wild fox dare to talk back to me!" With a wave of her hand, a burst of golden light shot out from the Bagua mirror and flew towards Zhou Cang. The golden light could absorb the spiritual energy in the air, becoming more and more dazzling, and the air also emitted a sharp and strange whistle. Zhou Chen didn't know that the girl would suddenly make a move, and seeing the golden light flying towards him, he himself didn't have such speed to resist, and was frightened into fleeing to the sky.
Bang! Zhou Qing waved his hand, and without seeing him use any magic weapon, the golden light was dispersed. Zhou Qing stepped forward two steps and said: "Why hurt people when you can talk things out?"
Seeing Zhou Qing effortlessly disperse the golden light emitted by his "Xuantian Bagua Mirror", the girl and the three men were all shocked. They knew exactly what the Xuantian Bagua Mirror was, a powerful treasure. Seeing Zhou Qing's boldness, one of the men stepped forward with a stern expression: "We are disciples of Mao Mountain, members of the national Dragon Team, ordered to monitor the movements of monsters. You dare to stop us from performing our duties, do you not want to live?"
"We'll just go with you!" Zhou Chen said, afraid of getting into big trouble.
"Hmph! You will definitely follow us, but to prevent any unexpected moves from you, I'll seal your powers!" a man said. The other two men and one woman nodded in agreement. Liao Xiao Jin and Zhou Chen's faces looked very unsightly, being sealed of their powers was like being fish on the chopping board, completely at the mercy of others, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Liao Xiao Jin and Zhou Chen both looked at Zhou Qing, letting him think of a solution. Zhou Qing's expression remained unchanged, calmly saying: "Little fox, take care of yourself, you two! Xiao Jin, Chen Chen! Make sure to finish the job cleanly, don't leave any survivors!"
