Before Qi Xiaomian could speak, Qilang had already shouted, "How can you, a Demon Catcher, encourage others to become Monsters? Is that appropriate?"
"What? Do you look down on demons? This world is not simply black and white; there are many demons with feelings and loyalty, but there are even more who are insincere."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaomian's eyes flickered slightly. Miss Sang was certainly not like an ordinary Demon Catcher.
Before they could delve deeper into the conversation, the situation suddenly changed, interrupting them. Perhaps it was because they were annoyed by the casual chat or perhaps they wanted to trick Yongxin Marquis once more.
The two Demon Catchers deliberately lured the demon towards them. The demon might have thought that ordinary people, even martial generals, would be easier to deal with than a Demon Catcher, so it followed their lead and attempted to escape into the woods.
Unfortunately, it completely overlooked the concealed presence of Sang Qingxiao. It threw itself right into her trap as she seized it by the neck, and under the pressure of her powerful aura, it transformed into a mottled Old Fox.
The sudden turn of events left the two Demon Catchers astonished. Before they could ask any questions, they heard the woman murmur in confusion, "Oh? You haven't eaten a human heart!"
Almost immediately upon contact, Sang Qingxiao deduced that although this Old Demon reeked of blood and bore traces of Evil Arts cultivation, consuming a heart refined from Evil Arts could alleviate its internal decay.
This fox was in tatters inside and had never been repaired by Evil Arts. Where had all those hearts gone? Could it be that there were even more formidable demons above this Fox Demon?
Sang Qingxiao's right fingers danced in the air; in the blink of an eye, a flash of golden light appeared at her fingertips as she formed a talisman.
"Drawing talismans in mid-air?! Spirit Master Mirror!" exclaimed the two Demon Catchers in shock.
In this realm, Demon Catchers were categorized into Earth Masters, Celestial Masters, Spirit Masters, and Immortal Masters, with Immortal Masters being the highest rank. Each level was further divided into nine tiers, with the ninth tier being the strongest.
Most of Great Jing's Demon Catchers were Earth Masters; only a few became Celestial Masters, and Spirit Masters were extremely rare. As for Immortal Masters, they hadn't appeared for many years.
The most distinct dividing line between Celestial Masters and Spirit Masters was their ability to draw talismans in mid-air.
What was even more astonishing was Sang Qingxiao's speed in drawing talismans; it was almost instantaneous. However, according to records, this girl was only sixteen years old—far too young for such prowess.
Sang Qingxiao paid no mind to the thoughts swirling in everyone's heads; she pressed the talisman onto the Old Demon's forehead and closed her eyes in concentration. In just a moment's snap of her fingers, when she opened her eyes again, her aura had completely transformed.
She only shouted one word, "Abomination!" What a clever scheme it was!
As soon as the words left her lips, the fox was torn in half by the woman. Her hand plunged into the Fox Demon's abdomen, pulling out a bloody demon and discarding the fox's corpse before hastily leaving.
Looking in that direction, she wasn’t heading back to the city. Qi Xiaomian wanted to follow, but after a moment of thought, he decided against it. It was better to avoid her when she was angry.
Yet there were always those who lacked sense; one such person directly blocked Sang Qingxiao's path, casually greeting her with a formal bow, unaware of her name.
Qi Xiaomian recognized him as Huang Hai, a Demon Catcher stationed at the Office of Censors. He was known for being cunning and enjoyed setting traps for others.
Sang Qingxiao glanced at him and said, "Step aside!"
She had never seen this girl in Jingjing City before and wondered where she had come from and why she appeared here. As a newcomer, perhaps she was unaware of the rules governing the Demon Catchers in Jingjing City. To arrive on someone else's territory without prior introduction was one thing, but to snatch someone’s achievements in broad daylight was quite another.
