I felt strange. Although I knew that the Snake Spirit's fainting and his swelling body were the side effects of eating Xiang Liu's blood, I still found it unbelievable that he was traveling while unconscious.
After hesitating for a while, I lifted my foot and followed him.
The Snake Spirit's speed wasn't fast. I caught up with him in just a few steps and grabbed his body. Unexpectedly, the Snake Spirit's strength was too great. After I grabbed him, I wasn't paying attention and staggered a few steps forward. The Snake Spirit struggled free from my hand and continued to fly forward unconsciously.
This time, I didn't go to grab him but looked in the direction he was heading. I was deep in thought.
The Snake Spirit was heading north. The last step of the dragonization that he had told me about was to head north to Luoyang.
I understood that the dragonization process wasn't something he could control. Now that all the conditions had been met, he should be heading to the place where he would transform into a dragon.
If that was the case, I couldn't stop him, but I didn't feel at ease letting him go alone.
Luckily, the Snake Spirit wasn't fast. I thought about it and decided to ignore him for the time being. Instead, I hurried back to where Zhang Kanwen and the others were.
When I returned, Wang Yongjun also arrived. As soon as he got out of the car, he looked around and saw me. He anxiously pointed at the ruins of the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop and asked me, "What happened?"
I shook my head and didn't answer him. "Is there any way to cover it up and repair it as soon as possible?"
Wang Yongjun looked like he was in a difficult position, but he nodded in the end. "It's not a big problem to repair it, but it's impossible to cover it up completely."
The previous commotion was too big and couldn't be hidden from others.
Since I was going to leave with the Snake Spirit soon, I didn't ask for too much. I just told Wang Yongjun to do his best to repair the place.
Then, I went to talk to Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande. I told them to stay with Wang Yongjun and help him for the time being. As for the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop, they weren't in a hurry to reopen it.
After I roughly explained the situation on this side, Zhang Kanwen also finished explaining to Wang Kun's family of three. Wang Li was still young and the trip to Anyang was fraught with danger. I definitely couldn't bring him along.
However, his virginity had been broken by half a year, so he would be fine for a year and a half. It wouldn't matter much whether he stayed by Zhang Kanwen's side or not.
After everything was arranged, I urged Zhang Kanwen to leave. Although I could still sense the snake spirit's location, this feeling was limited by distance. If we dragged it out, I couldn't tell if I could sense it or not.
Before leaving, I asked Tong Tong and Xiao Jin to go with me.
There was no need to talk about Tong Tong as he had never been separated from me. As for Xiao Jin, it was quite inconvenient to have him by my side. After all, he had a physical body and couldn't hide like Tong Tong.
However, I didn't feel at ease leaving him here. After thinking for a while, I decided to bring him along.
Just as I was about to set off, the silent zombie who had been standing at the side slowly walked over and followed behind me without saying a word.
I was surprised. Shi Mei had always been quiet and didn't have much presence. It wasn't that I had forgotten about him, but that his power was average. I didn't plan to bring him along this time. I planned to leave him here and let Xie Chenghua and the others take care of him.
I smiled and told him my plan. Unexpectedly, Shi Mei wasn't willing. He timidly shook his head and walked over to stand next to Xiao Jin.
This little fellow had a good relationship with Xiao Jin. It seemed that he didn't want to be separated from Xiao Jin.
I thought about it. This time, I had many things to do. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep this little fellow and Xiao Jin company. I didn't reject him. I waved my hand and brought them along.
When Xie Chenghua drove the car here, I had bought a car for the shop and let Liu Chuande use it. This time, due to the snake spirit, we couldn't take the train, so we decided to drive our own car.
I didn't know how to drive, and I didn't have a driver's license. However, Zhang Kanwen had a driver's license, so I gave him the task of driving.
I followed the snake spirit's direction and led the way to the north. Since the Antique City was located in the northern suburbs of Shenzhen, it didn't take long for us to reach a factory area. There weren't many tall buildings around, and there weren't many people around.
It was here that we caught up with the spirit snake. We followed behind it and slowly hurried on our way.
Since the snake spirit was really slow, I thought that the next few days would be peaceful. However, not long after, we heard the loud roars of cars behind us.
I turned around and saw two black, high-class SUVs speeding toward us from a place far behind us. Their speed was frighteningly fast.
I frowned, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I thought that they were just two bored racers. However, as they got closer to me, my face became solemn.
It was because I could feel traces of Dao Qi in those two cars!
At first, the traces of Dao Qi were very faint, so I thought that it was just my imagination. However, as we got closer, the ripples of Dao Qi became stronger. Not only could I clearly feel the existence of Dao Qi, but I could also tell that there was at least one person in the middle stage of Glorious Consciousness in each of the two cars!
In a place like Shenzhen, it was rare for two people with such tyrannical power to suddenly appear. Now that they had appeared here and were rushing toward me, I almost didn't hesitate to consider them as enemies. I hastily raised my head and prepared to discuss with Zhang Kanwen.
At that moment, Zhang Kanwen naturally noticed the two of them. Before I could say anything, he raised his hand to signal me not to talk. Then, he continued to drive the car forward at an extremely slow speed.
Not long after, the two off-road vehicles overtook our car. Two ear-piercing braking sounds resounded at the same time. The two cars stopped in front of us, one on the left and the other on the right.
There was no need to guess anymore. The two of them were definitely coming for me.
They were just two middle stage of Glorious Consciousness, so I didn't fear them. Just as I was about to push open the car door, Zhang Kanwen stopped me and told me to calm down.
I didn't understand, but I didn't ask. I stayed in the car and observed the movements of the two cars in front of me.
At that moment, the people in the car had already pushed open the door and walked out. I looked through the window and was shocked.
One person came down from each car, and I recognized both of them.
The person who came down from the first car was a handsome young man. It was Lu Chengping, who Zhang Kanwen and I had worked together to deal with!
The person who came down from the second car was Vice President Dan Feng, who was in charge of the Young Phoenix Gathering with Yang Shilong when I went to the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society to participate in the Young Phoenix Gathering.
Why did the two of them suddenly come here?
I subconsciously thought that they must have noticed my tracks and were prepared to deal with me. However, thinking about it, I immediately felt that it wasn't right.
Previously in the underground cave, the Han family's Celestial Master had seen me, and he had personally seen me fight against Han Wennan and Chen Yangting. The power that I had displayed was at least at the middle stage of Glorious Consciousness.
If the Metaphysics Society had really found my tracks, they definitely wouldn't have sent just the two of them to deal with me.
While I was thinking, I saw Dan Feng and Lu Chengping get out of the car. They didn't care about us at all, but instead quickly walked towards the snake spirit.
I instantly understood that the two of them must have been attracted by the huge commotion caused by the snake spirit, and followed the tracks to this place.
I lifted my head to look at Zhang Kanwen. He was still frowning, as though he was still thinking about the purpose of the two of them. He didn't want to act rashly.
However, I couldn't sit still. The snake spirit was currently in a strange state, and it definitely couldn't be disturbed.
Thus, I decided to ignore Zhang Kanwen, and directly pushed open the car door to walk out. However, before I left, I made a mental note to use the Yi Mo Bead to change myself into Zhang Wenli's appearance. Then, I chased after the two of them.
When I arrived in front of them, I didn't hide my aura at all. Dan Feng and Lu Chengping couldn't recognize my shaman aura, but they could tell that I was at the middle stage of Glorious Consciousness. After seeing me, they immediately stopped and stared at me vigilantly.
I didn't care about them at all, and pointed at the phantom snake spirit in front of me. I lifted my chin and asked, "Daoist friends, could it be that you're interested in the snake spirit that I'm rearing?
Why did you chase me here? "
Lu Chengping didn't say anything, but Dan Feng was obviously experienced. He cupped his fists at me, and revealed his identity in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "I am Dan Feng, the Vice President of the Metaphysics Society. It's not that I'm interested in your snake spirit, but there was a huge wave of spiritual power in the east of Shenzhen. It's related to a matter that our Metaphysics Society is investigating. We followed you here because of the snake spirit.
If daoist friend is free, you can bring the snake spirit to our Metaphysics Society. After we investigate this matter, daoist friend can leave safely. "
I frowned, and the corner of my mouth instantly rose into a cold smile. "What a joke!
Since when has the Metaphysics Society been so overbearing?
I'm not a member of the Metaphysics Society, so why should I cooperate with your investigation? "
My words weren't polite, but Dan Feng wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled and continued, "This matter is very important to our Metaphysics Society. If daoist friend can cooperate, then it's best if you cooperate with us. Otherwise, if we fall out with each other, it won't end well for you."
He was quite confident. I chuckled and saw that the snake spirit had gone far away. I didn't want to waste my breath on him. I gathered my shaman energy and summoned the blood plum branch magic tool that I had obtained from Zhang Cengcheng's house. I coldly said to the two of them, "Whether or not I'll end well, we'll have to try to find out!"
After saying that, I stepped forward with my left foot and used the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper Technique to guide the power of the Astral Steps into the blood plum branch magic tool. A scarlet light appeared in the air and swept towards Dan Feng and Lu Chengping.
In that instant, the two of them revealed expressions of shock. In a rush, a scroll appeared in Dan Feng's hand. After opening it, he covered the area in front of him. Lu Chengping, on the other hand, was in an even worse state. He actually activated the white cocoon that he had used to sign up and forcefully blocked my attack.
When we had ambushed Zhang Cengcheng, Zhang Kanwen and I hadn't been able to do anything to Lu Chengping. However, things were different now. In just a few short months, Zhang Kanwen and I had grown much stronger. There was no need for Zhang Kanwen to do anything. I alone wouldn't let Lu Chengping escape.
Although Lu Chengping hadn't moved after taking my attack, the white cocoon around him had dimmed. It was obvious that the white cocoon wasn't invincible. As long as one's power reached a certain level, they could still break through the defensive barrier.
It was just like when I had used the silver talisman to kill Lu Zhenyang.
Dan Feng was in an even worse state. The scroll painting in his hand had been destroyed, and there was a gash in his chest. His face was sallow, and it was clear that he had suffered serious injuries.
I looked down at the Xuemei magic tool in my hand and marveled at its power. It was no wonder that Daoist Xuemei had made such a name for herself. In terms of attack power, the Xuemei magic tool was comparable to the Yin Yang Yama Brush.
I glanced at the Xuemei magic tool, then looked away. I was on guard, ready to chase after the two of them.
Lu Chengping had fled the last time he had fought Zhang Kanwen. He obviously wouldn't fight to the death this time.
From a certain perspective, he was the mortal enemy of Mount Wen's bloodline. Regardless of whether it was Zhang Kanwen or me, since we encountered him this time, we definitely wouldn't let him escape so easily.
I was already prepared to chase after him, but what I didn't expect was that Lu Chengping didn't even try to escape. Instead, he stood there calmly and looked up at me. "Daoist's temper is a bit too violent. I am from the Lu family in the capital. Daoist doesn't give face to the Metaphysics Association, but are you not going to give face to the Lu family?"
"The Lu family?"
I sneered, not bothering to reply. I stepped forward and waved the Xuemei magic tool in my hand. I answered him with my actions.
This attack wasn't any weaker than the one from before. The scarlet shadow was like a giant guillotine, slashing down on Lu Chengping.
I was sure that he wouldn't be able to block this attack. His white cocoon of light had already been damaged, so there was no way he could block this attack!
Just as I was filled with confidence and was about to cut him down in front of me, the door of a black jeep not far from me suddenly opened, and a young man wearing a white robe slowly walked out.
His movements looked slow, but the strange thing was that when he got out of the car and slowly walked to Lu Chengping, the blood shadow that I had slashed down had just gotten close to Lu Chengping's body.
That young man, who looked somewhat similar to Lu Chengping and seemed to be a few years younger than Lu Chengping, merely raised his hand and casually waved it, completely blocking the scarlet silhouette.
