Qingzhou City, Dashun Temple

  On the second floor outside, a small table held two cups of green tea.

  Li Xinhans face was cold and expressionless as he sat down, with Li Muzhen standing behind him. The siblings quietly looked at each other from across the room.

  The thin-faced, bearded middle-aged man smiled: "You two don't have to be so tense, I'm just here at the request of Mr. Kang Yun to keep him company."

  "Hmm."

  Li Xinhans sneered and said, "In Qingzhou City, you still need to bring a Jingdan realm attendant when going out. The courage of your group of young masters is really getting weaker by the year."

  "What's your hurry? I just asked you out for a cup of tea."

  Zhao Kangyun slightly raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at the distant city wall.

  He had arranged for someone outside the city to come ahead of time, and today he received some news, so he hastily invited a guardian to offer sacrifices, and then hurriedly called out Li's siblings.

  As both are top-notch forces' direct descendants, a real fight is impossible.

  At least, put the bench back in its original place on that day.

  "Thud thud thud..."

  As time passed, the footsteps became more frequent. Many young people who were present that day quickly came to the second floor and crowded the corridor tightly.

  Nor did they speak, all with a look of indifference staring at the distant city wall.

  “……”

  The Li siblings exchanged a glance, roughly guessing what was going on.

  Who else can bring these people together except Shen Yi?

  But isn't this also too fast?

  It had been two days since he left Qingzhou City, and just the round trip would take a day and a half.

  There's only half a day left, and they need to investigate the cause, gather evidence, and capture the abbot of the Golden Gate Temple, all with just over 120 people led by Shen Yi - it doesn't seem very possible no matter how you think about it.

  It's likely that this group of people also had such an idea, which is why they let Zhao be so arrogant.

  "I told you, don't be in a hurry, just sit there honestly."

  Zhao Kangyun withdrew his gaze, lazily fanning himself and teasingly looked at the sister and brother: "Who told you two to go out without bringing someone? Next time remember it well."

  They were all dignified people, but that day they were too careless. The other side relied on Shen Yi to be arrogant and didn't give themselves any face. Today, they came fully prepared, just waiting for the situation to reverse, and then it would be time to regain their composure.

  Zhao's family smiled faintly and didn't want to get involved in the young people's petty squabbles, picked up his teacup and took a slight sip.

  Come to Dashun Zhai, actually also has a home meaning.

  The Demon-Slaying Department has always been rough in its handling of affairs, but it rarely makes mistakes. It's not often that they encounter a young and inexperienced new attendant who handles things so crudely. Of course, this is an opportunity to be seized - write up a petition and submit it to the Demon-Slaying Department's yamen, reminding these eagles and hounds not to be so overbearing again.

  Apparently, Zhao Kangyun received a fairly accurate message.

  The sun has just risen to the zenith.

  A group of horses had stopped outside the city and, as usual, dismounted before entering the city.

  Zhao Kangyun's sharp eyes counted the number of people, 124 went out and 123 came back, with a bewildered expression on everyone's face.

  The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up into an arc, just as he had guessed.

  No casualties, yet they returned so quickly, without even catching a single Golden Gate disciple, probably just a wild goose chase.

  Hong Lei walked at the end, leading a demonic horse, but on its back was no longer the figure with the fierce and stern killing intent from last time.

  "It's embarrassing and doesn't want to show its face."

  Zhao Kangyun no longer put on a polite face, slapped the fan shut, stood up and reached for the wooden bench that had been prepared beside him, grasping it in his hand: "I think, after making such a big mistake, Young Master Li should also be too ashamed to go back and report."

  The rest of the family's children are still staring outside.

  They came for Shen Yi, but they didn't dare get involved in the dispute between the young masters of the Li and Zhao families.

  Just listening to Zhao Kangyun's words, their faces didn't change color, but a hint of relief still welled up in the bottom of their eyes.

  The Demon-Slaying Department is ruthless and merciless, not only to outsiders but also to their own people. With such a big fanfare, several lives were lost, and in the end, they hastily concluded the matter without any explanation or accountability.

  Li Xinhans face turned cold, he raised his eyes and stared at the other person: "You talk too much nonsense, I still have to go back and report my work."

  "Awesome."

  Zhao Kangyun's face was full of smiles, and then a sly intention flashed in his eyes. The ruler in his hand came down heavily on the student's head!

  In an instant, a slender hand grasped his wrist.

  Zhao's servant whispered: "Young master, it's time to go home."

  "What do you mean!"

  Zhao Kangyun suddenly turned his head and looked over, a mouthful of stagnant air stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

  How come people from the Zhao family can be insulted at will, while people from the Li family cannot tolerate even a little bit of grievance?

  At this moment, he noticed the gaze of the offering and looked in the direction indicated, only to see Hong Yue leading the demon horse walking closer, with a floating leather bag tied on its back.

  Taking a closer look, the flat leather pouch had all four limbs intact and was still hanging onto its shiny head.

  It can't be anyone else but Jin Gang Men's abbot.

  Zhao Kangyun was struck as if by lightning, his hand clutching the stool frozen in mid-air.

  The rest of the young masters also breathed in unison, and their eyes flashed with astonishment.

  In Qingzhou, what is known as a second-rate power refers to having a strong family member who can rival the Condensed Dan boundary. Whether they obtained it through an unusual encounter or took some unorthodox path, as long as they can suppress the Jade Liquid boundary, that's all that matters.

  As for the top forces, in addition to needing more real Condensing Dan Realm strongmen to sit and stabilize, they also need to grasp a stable path to break through the Condensing Dan Realm, such as the Sword Pool of Qingfeng Mountain, so that the position can be solidified without being cut off.

  Jin Gang Men's decline into a second-rate sect is precisely due to the expansion of its abbot's domain.

  At this moment, the strong man who had just gained fame was tied to a horseback in just two days, with no breath left, and running to Pingkang Mountain to kill a chicken would be nothing more than that.

  It really makes one suspect that Shen Yi had prepared his own corpse in advance and was just putting on a big show to intimidate us.

  "What exactly do you want to do?" Li Mu asked with raised eyebrows.

  "I'm tired of sitting on this chair, can I change to a stool and stretch my legs?" Zhao Kangyun pressed the stool to the ground and panted heavily.

  "Shen's last time, he rode his horse back home, that was because the opponent was Qingfeng Mountain. What is Jingang Gate? The demonic gate that can be easily destroyed with a wave of his hand, does it deserve him to show up in person? I don't know what you bunch of pig brains are thinking."

  Li Xinhans expression was calm and collected, with a hint of disdain as he swept his gaze over the crowd.

  Li Mu-jin shot him a speechless glance.

  Hearing the commotion coming from upstairs.

  Hong Lei slightly raised his head, and then dazedly withdrew his gaze, turning around to look at the colleagues behind him, only to find that they were not much stronger than himself.

  General Chen Qiankun made his move on Qingfeng Mountain, and it took him more than a month.

  Shen Yi personally led the school lieutenant to exterminate the demon, simply and crudely going up the mountain, killing the old monk, and then coming down the mountain, from start to finish not exceeding an hour.

  It's more relaxing than going out for a meal, and maybe the dishes haven't even been served yet, but it's already done here.

  If it weren't for notifying the local authorities to take over those people poisoned by drugs, they might have returned even faster.

  This achievement is... quite embarrassing.
