At the same time, I was sitting in a police car with Zhao Sanbao and Wu Jie, heading towards the location of Wang Hongtao.
I glanced at the two beside me and immediately felt a headache coming on. Although I had anticipated that Huang Ping would call me for help, according to my plan, I just needed to take Zhao Sanbao to He Ying's shop, where Liu Zhenxian was stationed. The mastermind behind this would definitely not dare to confront Liu Zhenxian.
However, Zhao Sanbao stubbornly refused to go to He Ying's shop; he insisted on staying by my side, claiming it made him feel safe. Thinking of the three hundred thousand reward from Zhao Sanbao, I had no choice but to let him stay.
As for Wu Jie, he simply wanted to tag along to witness my methods. He had just opened Wisdom Eye yesterday and had never seen how a Taoist Master dealt with Ghostly Beings. Driven by curiosity, he stubbornly followed me. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t leave, so I eventually allowed Wu Jie to stay by my side.
I reached into my backpack and pulled out the Demon-Subduing Staff, handing it to Zhao Sanbao with a serious tone. "Director Zhao, be alert. If there's danger, make sure to dodge quickly. I might not have the time to protect you. Hold onto this artifact for self-defense; if a Ghostly Being charges at you, you can fight back."
"Jiang Ling, don't worry. I won't be a burden; I'll take care of myself," Zhao Sanbao replied with a nod and a smile. He examined the Demon-Subduing Staff closely and noticed the ancient patterns engraved on it, which clearly indicated it was no ordinary item. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he gripped the staff tightly.
Seeing that Zhao Sanbao had received the Demon-Subduing Staff for protection, Wu Jie looked at me eagerly, expecting that I would also give him an artifact for self-defense. After waiting for a while and realizing I had no intention of doing so, he awkwardly cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Master Jiang Ling, there are Ghostly Beings around; I'm so weak—aren't you going to give me something for protection?"
I shot Wu Jie an annoyed look and replied curtly, "Wu Jie, so you finally realize how weak you are. If you're scared, you can get out of the car now. I won't have time to protect you later."
Wu Jie sheepishly rubbed his nose and laughed, "Master Jiang Ling, I believe you're not that heartless. Look at how well we get along; can you really bear to see me get killed by those Ghostly Beings?"
Without hesitation, I nodded with a smile and said, "Wu Jie, rest assured—I can definitely bear to watch you go to your death."
Wu Jie was taken aback by my bluntness and could only pretend he hadn't heard me. He continued to flatter me shamelessly in hopes of getting an artifact for protection.
As the saying goes, flattery never gets old. Hearing Wu Jie's compliments made me feel quite pleased inside, though I didn't show any sign of it on my face.
“Wu Jie, enough with the flattery. I'll give you a protective artifact,” I said as I rummaged through my backpack for a moment. Finally, I handed the Longevity Lamp to Wu Jie. I only had three artifacts on me: this rather useless Longevity Lamp, the Buddhist Demon-Subduing Staff, and the Rusty Sword I obtained from Lin Hanyu.
When Wu Jie saw the Longevity Lamp in his hands, his expression instantly fell. Compared to Zhao Sanbao's Demon-Subduing Staff, it was clear that the two artifacts were not even in the same league.
Wu Jie looked at the Longevity Lamp with some disdain and asked, “Master Jiang Ling, do you have any other artifacts? Can we trade for something else?”
I shook my head and extended my hand towards Wu Jie. “Forget about other artifacts; you can take or leave this Longevity Lamp. If you don’t want to use it, just give it back.”
Wu Jie quickly cradled the Longevity Lamp in his hands and put on a smile. “Master Jiang Ling, I was just joking. This Longevity Lamp looks pretty good; I can use it.”
While we were talking, a police car finally drove into the street where Wang Hongtao was located.
The driver was a man in his forties who turned to glance at me and politely said, “Master Jiang Ling, we’ve arrived. Please get out of the car and follow me; I’ll take you to find the Yellow Team.”
I looked out the window and noticed a dense crowd of people ahead, causing me to frown. Personally, I didn’t want too many people to see my face; I was used to keeping a low profile and didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble.
After thinking for a moment, I turned to the driver and asked, “Brother Jing Ha, can you drive the police car in there? There are too many eyes around; I really don’t want anyone seeing my face.”
My reluctance to show myself stemmed mainly from concerns about the Ten Thousand Evil Hall looking for revenge since I had stolen a Soul Nourishing Stone from them. My cultivation level wasn’t strong enough yet; any delay would be beneficial.
The driver hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded. “Master Jiang Ling, just wait; I’ll drive the police car in.”
He activated the siren and slowly approached the crowd of pedestrians. Despite the throngs of people outside, they instinctively parted to make way for the police car as it approached. So even though we were moving slowly, we managed to enter that street without issue.
As soon as I stepped down from the police car, I sensed a strong aura of Evil Qi emanating from deep within the street. My expression grew serious as I reached into my pocket and pulled out the Tiger Origami.
I placed the origami in the palm of my left hand, then quickly cast several Spells with my right hand, infusing a strand of Daoist Magic into the paper. At the same time, I recited, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods. Open spirit and grant the path, seek energy and trace its source. All things are law, Paper Spirit, heed my command. Go!"
After finishing the incantation, I blew gently on the origami in my palm. It emitted a faint glow of Dao light and floated in mid-air. After pausing for two or three seconds, it suddenly darted deeper into the street.
I glanced at Wu Jie and Zhao Sanbao beside me and said, "I'll go ahead; you two be careful."
With that, I followed the origami as it led me further down the street. Along the way, I ran into Huang Ping; we exchanged a few nods before I continued pursuing the origami into the depths of the street.
After a while, the origami flew in front of Wang Hongtao's shop. It circled in mid-air a few times before spontaneously igniting without fire, instantly turning to ashes.
I looked at the shop before me, a glint of insight flashing in my eyes as I muttered to myself, "It seems that the one using the Twelve Fiends Resurrection Technique is hiding inside this shop."
