So what the Xu Guo alchemist was chasing... was a demon.
And this is the kind of monster that the Privy Council is most afraid of - powerful, and not afraid of the human world, relying on its outstanding talents to swagger through the towns.
Such monsters are far more threatening than those wild monsters that live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Once discovered, the Privy Council will definitely take action to eliminate it!
Yan Qing slightly felt a little strange that he was chasing all the way from Xu State to Qi State, and he had never heard from the Privy Council over there about this matter before.
But now is not the time to delve into such matters.
Because the other party showed obvious hostility.
There is a huge difference between this demon and Li - it can be seen from the two alchemists lying on the ground that the other side has no fear of killing people and almost no compassion. She suspected that as long as she said the word yes, the other party would immediately take action.
As an alchemist, she also has the obligation to eliminate evil spirits for the people and protect the peace of the world!
"Say-are you here to catch me too?"
The demon asked again.
"I don't know these two people." Yan Qing has raised the Qi injected into the "Spider Web" to its peak. The weapons are not good enough, so she can only rely on herself to make up for it. "What they want to do has nothing to do with me, but I am also -"
"That's good." Those vertical pupils blinked quickly, "Otherwise I will have no choice but to kill you."
The real pressure in the dark alley receded like a tide, which made Yan Qing greatly surprised. Why did it sound like this demon had its own principles and would actually ask for a reason before taking action.
"So the reason you killed them was just because they wanted to catch you?"
"Otherwise?" Yao sneered, "When the other party threatens my life, do I still have to take into account the differences between humans and monsters, and be patient and restrain myself at all times?"
The other party did not shy away from being a demon. Yan Qing realized that not only that, the demon even had an arrogant air when talking about the difference in status, as if he was proud of his origin.
This was the first time she had encountered a demon with such an attitude.
At this moment, a gap appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and a faint moonlight shone down from above, illuminating this corner of the deep alley.
The darkness shrank to both sides, revealing Yan Qing's figure.
At the same time, she also saw the other party's true face.
It had to be said that the appearance of the demon was completely beyond her expectation - the owner of the vertical pupil was a woman, and her cold voice was consistent with her. What was really surprising was that she did not have a big mouth, nor did she have much appearance. ferocious. The previous sense of oppression gave Yan Qing the illusion of facing a wild beast. Even in human form, he should be tall and strong, like a hill. But in fact, the other party was less than four feet five, and his young face only showed the appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, which was a whole circle smaller than Li.
What's even more incredible is that the demon is not standing talking to her, but sitting on a chair leisurely, with one leg raised, the body slightly tilted, and one hand supporting his cheek - even though the height is limited, he is forced by her Sitting there gave me a sense of majesty overlooking all living beings.
Of course, she obviously didn't bring this chair.
Yan Qing noticed that there were four men standing next to the demon. Their identities were unknown, but judging from their posture and status, they seemed to have a master-slave relationship with the woman. The clothes of these four people are also quite distinctive. Their clothes are uniform plain robes with yin and yang diagrams embroidered on the hems. Cloud shadows and golden snakes are embroidered on the sleeves. They all wear a bunch of exquisite lotus crowns on their heads. There is also a gold hairpin inlaid with jade inserted in the crown.
Does this monster... actually have such a rich family fortune
Yan Qing quickly recalled that not only did there not be any aristocratic family dressed like this in Qi State, but the customs between it and Xu State were also very different.
"You don't look like you are from Xu State."
"Indeed not."
"Then where are you from?"
"What's the point of knowing the answer to this question?" Yao showed a half-smile, "If I was born in Qi State, would you regard me as a Qi State person?"
"I can at least deduce your purpose of coming here." Yan Qing said calmly.
The demon paused for a moment, as if examining her, "So, you are stronger than these two trackers. Your confidence in strength makes you regard yourself as a judge. Anyone who is not a human must go through you. Judgment." At this point, she sighed softly, "Humans...when did they become so shallow and full of prejudice?"
Yan Qing couldn't help but be stunned.
"Master Chi, please don't be discouraged. There must be wise people in this world who can understand you."
The four people finally couldn't help but speak.
"It's time for you to stop it!" These words were undoubtedly directed at Qing Jian, "If the fire from the top of the city hadn't fallen down and burned down the houses, Master Chi would not have exposed himself at all. He would have been hunted for helping but he was the alchemist. The so-called patronage side?"
"If you still persist in your stubbornness, we will not show mercy - unlike Lord Chi, we are only human beings, so you can take action as long as you want!"
Exposed to put out a fire
Demons are respected and protected by people
Just a few words caused Yan Qing's thoughts to become temporarily confused. Li has now integrated into the human world, but that is entirely because of Xia Fan, an alien. If he had not proactively expressed his wishes from the beginning, Li would never have been able to stay in the world so smoothly. To be honest, when listening to Li talk about her experience with Xia Fan, Yan Qing always had a premonition that this guy had ulterior motives, so she left the magic weapon necklace behind and was ready to take Li away from the dispute at any time.
"I can't confirm whether what you said is true... but I don't rule out the possibility that it does exist. In addition, I also have a demon... friend." She said carefully, "I will not take the initiative if it is not necessary. Take action against the demon.”
"Friends of the demon?" The demon with vertical pupil seemed to be interested. She put down her raised leg, turned back to her body and said, "Where is this demon? How did you get to know each other? Judging from your strength, you should belong to It’s only right for the Privy Council, does the Privy Council of Qi State have different views on demons?”
"It's a long story, but this is just my personal reason and has nothing to do with the Privy Council Office - I am no longer an alchemist in the Privy Council Office."
"Can't they even keep people like you?" The other party chuckled, "Well, for the sake of the other demon, I'll tell you where I came from and where I'm going."
"I'm listening."
She returned to the reclined sitting position, her expression relaxed, but giving people a sense of calm and self-power, "I come from Penglai Island, west of Mao Kingdom. I have traveled to various countries for ten years, and Qiguo is the last one. One journey. As for the current destination, it is naturally the capital of Shenzhou—Jinxia City."
"..." Yan Qing twitched the corner of her mouth, is it really such a coincidence
"Now that you know where I'm coming from and where I'm going, can you deduce my purpose now?" the other party seemed to be provoking.
Qingjian waited in silence, the monster's movements were like mist, making it unpredictable.
"I knew you couldn't guess it." She showed an expected smile, "I'll tell you all together. I have only one purpose in leaving Penglai Island - to find a suitable husband for myself."
