Seeing Gong Mi fleeing and suffering a lot, Yuan Chaoxi's head became hot, and without waiting for Baili Ming and the others to react, he quickly chased after him.
Bai Liming hurriedly stopped: "Yuan Chaoxi, wait a minute!"
But Yuan Chaoxi ignored him and rushed into the opposite passage without hesitation.
Baili Ming didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ordered: "That holy envoy is very powerful. It is too dangerous for Yuan Chaoxi to chase her alone. I will go and stop her. Zuo Si, General Zhou, you guys go to the big cave to keep an eye on the Tongfu Gang."
People, especially Master Liang Li, don't let him get away."
Zuo Sisi nodded and said, "Don't worry, go and chase after me. General Zhou and I will go and find you immediately after we control the Tongfu Gang."
General Zhou also nodded to express that there was no problem, and Baili Ming stopped nagging. With a slight chin of his head, he pursued him as fast as the wind.
The long and narrow passage was dim, dark, damp, and the ground was slippery. Although this environment was prone to ambush attacks, Bai Liming did not dare to waste a moment.
He sacrificed a talisman and turned it into a fireball, dispelling the darkness in the passage, and swept forward with all his strength.
Suddenly, Baili Ming's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a figure slumped to the ground appeared in front of him, it was Yuan Chaoxi.
When she heard someone calling, she weakly opened her eyes. After seeing the person clearly, her eyes burst with hope.
Yuan Chaoxi urged in a hurried voice: "Hurry up and leave me alone. Don't let that witch escape."
Bai Liming ignored it and went forward to investigate. He found that Yuan Chaoxi's body energy was blocked and his magic power was not flowing smoothly, causing him to be unable to move. He was relieved after his body was fine.
Yuan Chaoxi still urged urgently: "I'm really fine. Chase me quickly and don't let that witch escape."
Bai Liming looked at the anxious look in her eyes, nodded and said, "Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he flew forward, holding his sword in front of him to be ready for any sneak attacks from the front.
After chasing a stick of incense, Bai Liming's eyes suddenly opened up. He had actually rushed out of the passage and arrived at an open area above the ground, which looked like the back garden of a manor.
Four or five feet away, the black-robed holy envoy was standing with Gong Mi in his arms. When he saw Bai Liming coming, he also showed a hint of surprise and admiration in his heart. However, because of the mask, what Bai Liming saw was still a
Weird and rigid mask.
After the black-robed holy envoy was surprised, he ignored Bai Liming, who was waiting for him, and turned around to leave. Bai Liming hurriedly asked: "Who are you? If Gong Mi commits such a crime, the Taoist sect will definitely try its best to arrest him.
, aren’t you afraid of being found out about your true identity?”
The black-robed holy envoy stopped and sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, but you are very important, so I didn't kill you. Live well, Bai Liming. The world is like a chess game, and this game is very big."
, you and I are just pawns, so there is no need to be disappointed or regretful, we will meet again, hahahaha!"
Then, the laughter and the figure of the black-robed holy messenger disappeared into the vast darkness.
…
In the late winter of the 111th year of the forty-seventh ancestor of the Dao Sect, there was heavy snowfall in Xijing City. After a while, there were no flowers or leaves to be found outside the front hall, leaving only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth.
In a quiet and magnificent courtyard of the Xijing Palace, Bai Liming, Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi and Zhou Jiang gathered in the main hall.
The house was paved with ground dragons, which was as warm as spring, and their moods were as exciting and joyful as the little animals that emerge from their hibernation in spring.
At this time, three days had passed since the incident in Qianshan County. Although it was a bit regretful that Gong Mi escaped, a huge conspiracy was discovered by them in what was originally an ordinary experience. Bai Liming, Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi, and Zhou Jiang
The four of them were praised by the team leader Yu Lu.
He said that he had informed the palace lord that everyone would receive generous rewards after returning.
That night, after they subdued the gangsters in the Tongfu Gang branch, they acted separately according to their pre-decision.
Zuo Sisi went to the county government office and notified County Magistrate Zhang to assist in the detention. But the funny thing is that the Tongfu Gang branch had great prestige in Qianshan County, and the county government office was also afraid of being bullied. When the county magistrate Zhang heard what happened, he was dumbfounded.
, hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Zuo Sisi revealed his identity as a relative of the emperor, and pulled the tiger skins of Kaiyang Palace and the Eighth Prince from Daomen, and at the same time threatened:
"County Magistrate Zhang, we have notified Kaiyang Palace and the Eighth Prince's Mansion. Both sides will send people here soon. Magistrate Zhang, you don't dare to take the credit for the achievements in front of you? Then I have to wonder whether you are Gong Mi's accomplice.
Got it!"
Hearing this, Magistrate Zhang reacted instantly as if he had been struck by lightning. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore, put on his official robe and greeted the government officials, and followed Zuo Sisi in an uneasy mood.
At the same time, Bai Liming quietly left the city with the one who had been transformed into a demon, and handed him over to Su Xia'er for his care.
After all, they were already aliens. Even if they were handed over to the Taoist sect, they would probably not be able to escape being imprisoned and guarded. Baili Ming couldn't bear it, and the other three people also supported it. After discussion, the four of them unanimously agreed to make such an arrangement.
Shopkeeper Wu also went out of the city with Bai Liming and saw his wife Su Xia'er and his beloved daughter Wu Tong'er. Shopkeeper Wu was so happy that he stepped forward and hugged his daughter and cried bitterly. Wu Tong'er was also sobbing.
Su Xia'er hated this man's weakness and betrayal, pulled Wu Tong'er over with a cold face, turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Wu knelt down on the ground, holding on to the corner of Su Xia'er's clothes, and even choked and begged:
"Xia'er, just let me go with you. I've already lost you once, and I won't let you lose me a second time this time."
Su Xia'er looked indifferent and snorted: "You and I are both human and demon. If you come with us, aren't you afraid of dying thousands of miles deep in the mountains?"
Shopkeeper Wu’s eyes were very firm and he continued to plead:
"Xia'er, I was confused before, I deserve to die. After these things, I have thought clearly. I don't care whether you are a human or a monster. I only care about you and that our family can be reunited and hold hands.
Follow each other."
Although Su Xiaer was angry in her heart, her heart trembled when she heard these words, and when she saw her daughter's pleading eyes, a hint of helplessness and heartache appeared on her originally cold face, but she still said in a cold tone:
"Wu Ming, we are no longer a family."
Shopkeeper Wu felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, and his heart was filled with despair. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaer continued: "But because you still know that you feel sorry for Tong'er, if you are willing to follow, I will not stop you. If you want to leave in the future, I will."
I won’t keep you.”
After hearing these words, Shopkeeper Wu's mood was like a swing, flying to a high point. He hurriedly promised: "Xia'er, I will not leave, never."
After the matter was settled, Bailiming stopped staying. Before leaving, Su Xiaer's family expressed their deep gratitude to him.
Wu Tong'er held onto Bai Liming's hand tightly and looked up at him with a pair of eyes as clear as water:
"Brother, will you come to see Tong'er?"
Bailiming rubbed Wu Tong'er's little head lovingly, accidentally touching the pair of furry fox ears, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart:
"It is said that demons are cruel and vicious, but this is an over-generalization. Sometimes the most vicious thing is the human heart."
Then Wen Yan said: "Tong'er, don't worry, big brother will definitely come to see you."
As he spoke, he took out a rusty and simple copper coin. The front of the copper coin was engraved with the four characters "Tai Yi Kai Yang" and the back was engraved with the pattern of the sun, moon and seven stars.
"Tong'er, if you encounter an emergency, you can use this copper coin to notify me by flying letter. All you need to do is recite the "Nine-Character Mantra", call me by name, and briefly explain the reason. I will definitely come to help you."
Wu Tong'er held the copper coin tightly in her hand, nodded solemnly, followed her parents step by step, and reluctantly disappeared into the deep mountains and forests.
Yuan Chaoxi and General Zhou were responsible for taking care of the Tongfu Gang. Yuan Chaoxi immediately sent a letter with copper coins to report Gong Mi's transformation into a demon to Master Yu Lu.
Yu Lu also reacted quickly. At dawn, three disciples from Kaiyang Palace rushed to the scene first.
The Eighth Prince also sent his confidants and led a group of cavalry to rush over quickly, only half an hour later than the Taoist disciples. Then, without stopping, he cooperated with the Taoist sect to handle the matter.
In the end, under the joint efforts of the Taoist sect and the palace, the Qianshan County branch of the Tongfu Gang was wiped out. Except for the master Liang Li and several hall leaders, they were brought back to Kaiyang Palace by the Taoist sect disciples for further interrogation. The rest of the gangsters were handed over.
Disposed by the Royal Palace.
The rescued demon clan relics were also sent home under the arrangement of the county government and given a generous sum of money as compensation.
After the matter in Qianshan County was settled, Baili Ming and the other four returned to the Xijing Palace together with the Taoist disciples and the Eighth Prince's confidants.
At this time, the four of them were staring at a table in the middle of the room with excitement.
