Behind the stone statue of the previous emperor, four cultivators were standing here, surrounding the earth cave at the foot of the stone statue.
They were disciples of Moon Worshipping Sect who came to capture the transformed demons for the elders in the sect.
“Brother Pei Qing, are you sure this is the right place?”
The fire cultivator who had attacked Tang Ruowei and Zuo Yanfei on the canal was also here and asked a man beside him.
The man being questioned held a trigram-shaped compass, and the pointer on the compass was moving in the direction of the stone statue. The man looked down at the compass in his hand and replied:
“According to the tracking results of the magic tool given to us by the master, the demons disappeared here.”
“Then let me use a spell to blow up everything.”
Another disciple pinched a hand pose, and there was a faint red glow at his fingertips.
“Don’t mess up.”
Pei Qing raised his hand to stop.
“This is the stone statue of the first emperor of the Ding Kingdom, it is the symbol of the royal family. Our sect has not yet had enough strength to ignore the royal family of the Ding Kingdom.”
“Brother Pei Qing, there is movement underground!”
At this time, another guy suddenly said:
“Be careful, there is something to get out!”
The other three people were shocked and dispersed, and the next moment, the ground burst, and the figures of Tang Ruowei and Zuo Yanfei appeared in place.
Seeing that no one was making a move, Tang Ruowei pouted very quietly, while Zuo Yanfei faced the other four cultivators, saying:
“I am Zuo Yanfei, a first-class soldier of the Heavenly Army. This is Tang Ruowei, a disciple of Qingming Sword Sect. What are you from?”
“Heavenly Army? Qingming Sword Sect?”
Hearing these two names, the cultivators around were shocked.
As the top five sects of the Righteous Alliance, the names of these two sects were famous within the Nine Provinces. Except for loose cultivators who accidentally entered the road of cultivation, no one didn’t know these names.
“Everyone, we are here just to investigate the case of the Crowned Prince of the Ding Kingdom.”
Zuo Yanfei waved.
“Then it’s good.”
Pei Qing laughed and said:
“We also came for this case. We found that the demon who killed the prince was hidden under this stone statue. Miss Zuo, you two might as well join us in slaying these demons.”
“After our inquiry, the demon inside did not seem to be the murderer who killed the prince.”
Zuo Yanfei glanced at Pei Yuan lightly.
“On the other hand, one of you looks very similar to the attackers we met on the canal that day.”
“Oh, the world is so big, there are always a few people with similar shapes.”
Pei Qing took a step forward while talking.
“But Miss Zou, you shouldn’t believe the demon’s words. Let’s first capture these monsters back to the Ding Kingdom, and then decide.”
“Haha.”
Zuo Yanfei glanced at Pei Qing, and suddenly gave up and sighed.
“It seems that you don’t understand the meaning of these ceremonious words. I don’t like it too, so I will say straightly: there is no problem with the demons here, and their identity is not simple. You should retreat. ”
“Oh?”
Pei Qing looked at Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei.
“So, you two girls want to defend those demons?”
“What about you? Do you believe that, in the name of Qingming Sword Sect and Heavenly Army, we can’t protect several innocent demons?”
Zuo Yanfei asked coldly.
Pei Qing hesitated a little but then sneered.
“You two girls are kind-hearted, but you have too few experiences. It is inevitable that you are tricked by the demon. Rest assured, we will not hurt you. At most, we captured the two and let the elder of your Sect come and bring you back.”
He waved his hand, and the other three cultivators gathered around, staring at Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei.
“Seriously, don’t you really think about it?”
Tang Ruowei gave a long sigh and spread her hands.
“I want to say this in advance: the sword has no eyes, you should have been killed by me on your side. My Master didn’t teach me the ability to spare people’s lives. He said that no matter what I did, protect yourself is the first priority. If we fight for real, I can’t guarantee your safety … ”
“Haha.”
Pei Qing said indifferently:
“I have heard about Qingming’s swordsmanship for a long time. Legends said in the same cultivation level, Qingming’s disciples are unrivaled. Today, I want to test that.”
“Okay, now we’re done with the chit-chat.”
Zuo Yanfei raised her eyebrows and drew two spears from under the skirt, put them together.
Tang Ruowei also sighed, twisted her wrist, and drew out her sword.
The four disciples quietly spread apart. Pei Yuan and Pei Qing faced Tang Ruowei, while the grumpy Pei Dao and another disciple faced Zuo Yanfei.
“Get ready……”
Zuo Yanfei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened it suddenly. The spear pointed towards the non-speaking disciple like a dragon.
“Ruowei, let’s kick their asses!”
