As Erna Zroma contemplated whether to continue fighting, Li Bing slowly floated into the air. His face showed no signs of tension as he calmly looked at Erna Zroma and said, "If you want to keep fighting, you don't need to think too long. I will cooperate with Fang Lin Kong and ensure that you die quickly. If you don't plan to continue, then come with us to find a place for a late-night snack and chat about your background."
Li Bing's experience far surpassed that of Fang Lin Kong. He had already noticed something was off with Erna Zroma, and Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying's actions in the Arctic had not been particularly secretive; they often appeared on various news websites run by monsters. Li Bing was well aware of the news that Zhou Qingzhe had unearthed the Celestial Charm. Additionally, rumors about Erna Zroma's escape had been circulating. The Earth was already shrouded in layers of Spiritual Wave from various powerful beings, allowing them to instantly sense anything happening in any corner of the planet if they wished.
After considering Li Bing's suggestion for a long time, Erna Zroma finally nodded in agreement to a ceasefire. This outcome surprised Fang Lin Kong, who had been prepared to fight to the bitter end, and deepened his admiration for Li Bing.
Once the three descended to the ground, Ding Chihong immediately waved for his subordinates to bring over his vehicle. He approached the trio and said, "At this late hour, if we are looking for a place to eat, nothing is more convenient than one of our Chifeng Army's hotels. If this young lady has nowhere to stay, our presidential suite happens to be available."
Erna Zroma was unsure of these people's background, but she sensed no hostility from them, which gave her a sense of goodwill. Moreover, after battling Fang Lin Kong for so long, she had developed a strange familiarity with him. Under Ding Chihong's invitation, they all drove straight to the hotel.
Zhu Xiaotian had plotted against Fang Lin Kong many times in the past. Since Fang Lin Kong returned to this city and demonstrated significant improvement in his abilities, Zhu Xiaotian had refrained from confronting him. Today, upon witnessing Erna Zroma's and Fang Lin Kong's strength, he completely lost heart and no longer wished to oppose Fang Lin Kong.
After Fang Lin Kong, Li Bing, Erna Zroma, and the Chifeng Army members left, Zhu Xiaotian gloomily prepared to depart as well. At that moment, two figures approached him at high speed.
Zhu Xiaotian looked up and saw it was Zero Sakura and Yu Beiyao! He asked in surprise, "What do you two want? I'm quite annoyed right now; even if there's something going on, don't come looking for me!"
Yu Beiyao stepped forward and said to Zhu Xiaotian, "To be honest, we are members of the Chinese Army Demon Subduing Team. Our small squad of five has just taken on a case related to Fang Lin Kong. According to regulations, Fang Lin Kong has violated the agreement signed between humans and monsters; however, currently there is no power capable of punishing him. We are helpless in this regard; thus our plans against Fang Lin Kong have been temporarily shelved. We sisters came here to invite Mr. Zhu to join us. After all, there aren't many monsters with skills as good as yours!"
Zhu Xiaotian frowned and replied, "I am a monster; I have no interest in joining such an odd organization."
Yu Beiyao smiled slightly and said, "As a monster living among humans, you must face many inconveniences, right? The Chinese Army Demon Subduing Team was originally composed of disciples from reputable sects forming a non-governmental organization. Later on, due to agreements involving conflicts between humans and monsters, they began accepting monsters like us as well. Monsters who join the Demon Exorcism Team must have a clean background with no criminal record. Mr. Zhu happens to meet this criterion."
Zhu Xiaotian let out a noncommittal hum, and Yu Beiyao continued, "You must wish to have a legitimate identity in society, a certain status, and the need to interact with others of your kind. I suspect your cultivation has been a self-exploration all along? Our Demon Exorcism Team has a wealth of texts from various sects available for members to study!"
Initially, Zhu Xiaotian had no intention of joining an organization that seemed so inexplicable to him. However, after inadvertently getting involved with Yu Beiyao and her group and helping them with a few tasks out of mutual need, he found himself intrigued by her offer. The prospect of accessing "a wealth of texts from various sects, freely available for browsing!" piqued his interest.
"Alright! I agree! However, I want to participate for a while first to see if it suits me before deciding whether to stay with you."
Yu Beiyao nodded and said, "We originally intended to invite you to join only after establishing mutual trust with you, but today we are in urgent need. A powerful monster that consumes large amounts of humans has appeared in our city. This is absolutely unacceptable for us. However, our Demon Exorcism Team only has two members here and lacks the ability to capture this brutal monster, so we hope you can lend us your assistance!"
Zhu Xiaotian pondered briefly before agreeing, saying, "Although I am also a monster, I strongly oppose harming others without cause. Eating people is a barbaric act, and I am willing to intervene to stop such atrocities."
Yu Beiyao finally let out a sigh of relief and pointed southward. "That brutal monster is currently residing in the high-tech development zone of the city. We can catch him off guard if we head there now!"
Zhu Xiaotian nodded slightly, and in an instant, the three of them vanished into the darkness.
Erna Zroma gazed at the table full of delicious dishes in astonishment. The digestive system of the Divine Charm Clan was quite similar to that of Earth’s creatures. Erna Zroma's taste was also closer to that of humans. Therefore, when her tongue savored the exquisite dishes, a sense of satisfaction welled up within her.
"This is amazing! I can't remember the last time I ate anything. These delicacies are so different from the food on our planet; they are incredibly delicious!"
With millennia of wisdom, Li Bing and the cunning Ding Chihong quickly grasped Erna Zroma's background with just a few casual remarks. They were shocked by Zhou Qingzhe's intentions; Erna Zroma's strength was not yet at its peak. According to her, her five sisters were even stronger than she was. If Zhou Qingzhe managed to control them, the consequences would be dire. In the Dark World, countless methods existed to make someone pledge loyalty—whether through curses or brainwashing—could easily turn Erna Zroma's five companions into Zhou Qingzhe's personal combat force.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ding Chihong vigorously invited Erna Zroma to join the Chifeng Army. After all, his Chifeng Army had already positioned itself against Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying's faction and was not worried about offending them further. Besides, the Chifeng Army still had Li Bing and Fang Lin Kong as major forces. If things escalated seriously, Wen Zhongda could also be brought in as backup. Unless Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying planned to go all out against them, they did not need to worry about ordinary assassins from the International Demon Alliance. If Zhou Qingzhe and Zhang Rongying intended to muster their forces to occupy this inconsequential Northeast city, it would depend on whether Zhuang Lou, Grand Master—who was feeling quite frustrated—wanted to escalate matters further.
Fang Lin Kong felt much better after eating his fill and turned to the hesitating Erna Zroma. "You are alone against an organized crime lord with a background. Without our help, do you know where you would go to rescue your sisters?"
Erna Zroma felt quite anxious, and this did not escape the eyes of those around her, who secretly mocked her. The girl from the mysterious planet truly seemed like a fledgling who understood nothing at all, revealing all her cards for everyone to see.
Fang Lin Kong spoke in a few words, leaving Erna Zroma confused. A multitude of correct, incorrect, and intentionally misleading messages intertwined, blurring the lines of truth. Holding onto her beauty but feeling dazed, Erna Zroma ultimately agreed to Ding Chihong's invitation.
Li Bing observed coldly from the side, saying nothing more than, “I’m full now; I’m heading home. You all can figure out your own matters.”
Fang Lin Kong wiped his mouth and stood up alongside Li Bing. As for how to handle this strange woman, that was a concern for their leader, Ding Chihong.
Walking down the street together, Fang Lin Kong said to Li Bing, “It seems like something big is about to happen. I just wonder what role we will play then. As long as I’m not cannon fodder, I’ll be satisfied!”
Li Bing chuckled and replied, “You’re always stirring up trouble. However, this time Zhou Qingzhe might be too busy. I can clearly sense the presence of Yuan Qian Kun’s Old Monkey drawing closer to this space. Once Yuan Qian Kun returns, this world will revolve around him. Zhou Qingzhe has prepared for so long; I wonder if he has any chance at all! It’s still a mystery how he managed to banish Yuan Qian Kun into the dimensional space in the first place!”
Fang Lin Kong spread his hands and said, “I just hope for some excitement that won’t threaten my life. I’m not keen on living too dangerously.”
Li Bing patted Fang Lin Kong on the shoulder before turning and walking away, leaving Fang Lin Kong standing there silently gazing at the sky, thinking to himself, “My bad luck doesn’t seem to have passed yet!”
Just as Fang Lin Kong was about to strike a pose and shout, “Come out! I’ve seen you all along!” two figures that had been following him and Li Bing suddenly appeared right in front of him.
