Chapter 221 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (35)

After comforting the old man and advising him to return, the group began discussing how to locate this big demon and what methods to use.

When the old man left, a leaf from his head fell quietly into the room.

Shen Zhuo had hardly spoken throughout, except when addressed by Zhong Jin.

After finalizing their plan, the group prepared to disperse. Shen Zhuo infused spiritual energy into the Fleeting Life Mirror.

Sensing the spiritual energy from the mirror, Bai Tang opened it. The video call from the world of immortal cultivation version activated, with the high-definition camera automatically tracking the face.

Shen Zhuo softly called, “Master.”

The group, who had been about to leave, turned back.

Zhong Jin respectfully said, “Disciple greets Master.”

Sheng Tingfeng greeted, “Disciple pays respects to Master.”

The others followed suit, “Disciple greets the Law Enforcement Elder.”

As Shen Zhuo looked at the image transmitted by the Fleeting Life Mirror, Bai Tang was indeed leaning against the handle of Canglan, surrounded by darkness with moonlight illuminating her smooth face.

Bai Tang glanced over and asked, “Everyone’s here. Little disciple, what’s the matter?”

Shen Zhuo calmly replied, “Nothing much. Master, it’s the Jadewood Demon².”

Bai Tang understood immediately, “The Jadewood Demon is nothing of high rank. You can handle it. Although it’s a bit troublesome, be aware that its flowering period can cause dizziness.”

The group responded, “Thank you for the guidance, Elder.”

Zhong Jin looked at the mirror in Shen Zhuo’s hand and asked, “Master, are there more of these mirrors? They seem very convenient.”

Shen Zhuo cast a displeased glance at Zhong Jin.

Bai Tang inquired, “Little disciple, didn’t I ask you to bring one for A’Jin?”

Zhong Jin: “…”

Shen Zhuo calmly said, “I forgot to give it.”

Shen Zhuo took out another mirror from his robe and placed it expressionlessly in front of Zhong Jin. Zhong Jin shrugged, choosing not to expose his little Junior Brother.

Shen Zhuo added nonchalantly, “Master, Senior Brother slacked off and didn’t recognize the Jadewood Demon.”

Zhong Jin: “…”

Good grief, he was deliberately making things difficult for him!

Did he really not recognize that Jadewood Demon? He was just giving his little Junior Brother a chance to shine, so he wouldn’t be sidelined within the group.

The little Junior Brother, on the other hand, turned around and bit back at him.

Zhong Jin wouldn’t argue over such a minor issue and responded, “Master, it’s A’Jin’s fault for being lazy. A’Jin will make sure to thoroughly copy the notes three times when returning. Junior Brother did well, and as his Senior Brother, I should learn from his attentiveness.”

Bai Tang curled her lips and chuckled meaningfully. “Good, go back and copy it down. A’Zhuo did well—it’s also good that you remembered. I hope A’Zhuo can deeply understand, and I also hope A’Zhuo can get along well with your companions. This path of cultivation has never been a lonely one. Use your heart to feel everything, to discern. Those people don’t represent everyone.”

Shen Zhuo’s eyes softened with a hint of a smile. “I understand. I won’t let it go. I’ll root out the one hiding behind it.”

Bai Tang looked into the distance and said, “Proceed steadily. No need to rush; let him be anxious.”

Zhong Jin had some understanding of the situation, but the others were still puzzled.

Zhong Jin noticed the clouds around Bai Tang growing denser and asked casually, “Master, where are you heading?”

Bai Tang replied, “To the Extreme North, to the heart of the Extreme North.”

Shen Zhuo asked casually, “Master, what’s the purpose of going to this heart of the Extreme North?”

Bai Tang didn’t hide anything. “There should be a primordial spiritual treasure there, which is just what I need to refine Canglan. It’s becoming increasingly demanding, and even a millennium-old black iron or top-grade spiritual treasure is of no use to it. Enough about that. Be careful and cautious in everything. I suggest you reformulate your plan to deal with the Jadewood Demon.”

With that, Bai Tang ended the Fleeting Life Mirror communication.

Sheng Mingchu was confused and asked, “Senior Brother Zhong, what does the Law Enforcement Elder mean?”

Kong Qing added, “The Elder doesn’t seem to know our plan. Why would she suggest we reformulate it?”

Sheng Tingfeng, always trusting Bai Tang, said, “Regardless, following Master’s advice is never wrong.”
