118: Mo Ronghua was shocked!
Mo Ronghua furrowed his brows, staring at Zhao Sheng and the other person, and was the first to speak.
"Are you Blackbird Guards from Baidao Prefecture?"
"Has Li Chengfeng arrived?"
How could he be so fast!
Zhao Sheng, however, did not answer his question, but instead inquired about Mo Ronghua's identity.
Although the other party was most likely a Mystic Envoy from Jingtai Prefecture, Zhao Sheng still decided to inquire cautiously first.
"Sir, you are..."
"I am Mo Ronghua, a Mystic Envoy from Jingtai Prefecture!"
As he spoke, Mo Ronghua took out a dark green token from his Arms.
Indeed!
Upon seeing the dark green token, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng's wariness towards the old man in front of them lessened considerably.
"We greet Mystic Envoy Sir!"
"Hmm!"
"You two still haven't answered Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow)'s question."
"Has that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) Li Chengfeng also come?"
Mo Ronghua nodded, then asked the question he most wanted to know.
"Replying to Mystic Envoy Sir, Sir Li Chengfeng, he has already left Baidao Prefecture."
"What, Li Chengfeng has returned to Tiandu?"
Upon hearing this news, Mo Ronghua's brows furrowed tightly, seemingly deeply surprised by the news.
Why would that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) Li Chengfeng leave Baidao Prefecture at this time and return to the Li family.
Could it be because of that matter?
The once-every-five-years Artifact Comprehension!
Mo Ronghua naturally knew about this matter as well, because he also came from a prominent family in the capital.
Mo Ronghua didn't think much of anything else and asked Zhao Sheng again.
"Then who is the current Mystic Envoy of Baidao Prefecture, and where is he now!"
"When did you two arrive in Silver Stone Town?"
"I observed outside the town that there were traces left by those two Great Demons.
Have you two ever seen those two Great Demons appear in this vicinity?"
"Those two Great Demons?"
Hearing that Mo Ronghua was still looking for those two Great Demons, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng's expressions became a bit strange.
"What, did you two really see those two Great Demons?"
"Quick, tell me, which direction did they run off to!"
Mo Ronghua's expression changed when he saw the unusual expressions of Zhao Sheng and the other person.
Amidst the whistling wind, Mo Ronghua had already arrived in front of Zhao Sheng, his aged hands raised, gripping Zhao Sheng's shoulders tightly, asking with an excited expression.
Those two Great Demons, for some unknown reason, had vanished without a trace after last night.
Even his Black Xuan Bird couldn't find their whereabouts; their aura seemed to have disappeared between heaven and earth.
This situation made Mo Ronghua anxious, but he was helpless.
Now, the traces of those two Great Demons had reappeared in Silver Stone Town.
Mo Ronghua knew that this was his last chance, and he couldn't afford to fail again.
Zhao Sheng looked at Mo Ronghua, who was close at hand, and immediately felt the pressure double. He dared not conceal anything further and directly laid out the entire matter.
"Mystic Envoy Mo, those two Great Demons you mentioned were already slain by our Mystic Envoy Sir last night."
"Right there!"
The next second, Mo Ronghua, who was in front of Zhao Sheng, disappeared again, making Zhao Sheng feel relieved.
In a flash, Mo Ronghua's figure had already reached the middle of the crowd.
"This!"
"You!"
Mo Ronghua's body trembled slightly when he saw the Great Demon's head placed on the wooden table.
No one was more familiar with this incredibly ferocious demonic beast head than he was.
It was the appearance of one of those Great Demons.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng also arrived behind Mo Ronghua.
"Alas!"
"It's good that those two Great Demons are dead."
"This way, many innocent common people can be spared from the harm of these two Great Demons."
Mo Ronghua then calmed down, sighed slightly, and no longer showed any emotion.
"It is Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow)'s incompetence that allowed these two Great Demons to survive for so long and kill so many innocent common people."
Mo Ronghua stared at the demonic beast's head with a melancholic expression, muttering to himself.
He didn't know if he was speaking to that Great Demon, or to Zhao Sheng and the other person standing behind him.
"Oh, right, you two said."
"These two Great Demons were slain by the new Mystic Envoy of Baidao Prefecture,
presumably, he is still in Silver Stone Town now!"
"Could you take Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) to see him? Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) has some words he wants to discuss with him face-to-face."
The other party was able to take over Li Chengfeng's position and govern Baidao Prefecture.
Mo Ronghua was very curious to see who this new Mystic Envoy of Baidao Prefecture really was.
After all, only a martial artist at the Major Achievement of the Inner Qi Realm could serve as a Blackbird Guard Mystic Envoy for a prefecture.
He must have been transferred from the Celestial Capital Xuan Bird Guard.
Which Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) has come to An Prefecture?
Mo Ronghua's words made Zhao Sheng feel awkward.
"Mystic Envoy Mo Sir, this..."
"What's wrong? Could it be that your new Mystic Envoy has already returned to Baidao Fu City?"
"If that's the case, Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) can personally go with you to Baidao Fu City to see him."
Besides being curious about who this new Mystic Envoy of Baidao Prefecture was, Mo Ronghua actually had some ulterior motives.
It was for the matter of these two Great Demons.
After all, these two Great Demons had run from his territory to Baidao Prefecture to wreak havoc, and he still had to give the other party an explanation.
"Mystic Envoy Mo Sir, that's not it."
"Our Mystic Envoy Sir is currently in Silver Stone Town, but... Mystic Envoy Sir is in seclusion.
He instructed us two that no one should disturb him."
"Mystic Envoy Mo Sir, if you want to see our Mystic Envoy Sir, you can only wait until he comes out of seclusion."
At this moment, a bird's cry came from the sky.
A small black bird, before anyone could react, had already landed on Mo Ronghua's shoulder.
"Have they returned?"
Mo Ronghua immediately understood the Black Xuan Bird's meaning.
The few people he sent to notify the Baidao Prefecture Mystic Envoy had already followed the Black Xuan Bird and found his location.
"Very well, then Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) will wait in Silver Stone Town for your Mystic Envoy Sir to come out of seclusion."
With that, Mo Ronghua departed in the direction the Black Xuan Bird came from, leaving only a bewildered Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng.
"Old Yao, this Great Demon's flesh and blood, I'll leave it to you all to handle. I need to guard the inn where Mystic Envoy Sir is in seclusion."
Zhao Sheng hastily left a sentence, then his figure moved quickly until he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Alright, everyone, since the murderous monsters have been dealt with by us, you can all go back!"
"Fu Jun, you go organize the remaining martial artists in the town and act as the temporary town chief.
Take over Silver Stone Town for a period, maintain order, until everything stabilizes."
"Yes, Master!"
Fu Jun, as his eldest disciple, a Human Rank Xuan Bird Guard, and a martial artist of the Refining Marrow Realm.
Taking over Silver Stone Town and maintaining order here was just a trivial matter for him.
Inside the Silver Stone Town Inn!
Outside the inn, Zhao Sheng stood alone at the entrance.
Zhao Sheng appeared calm, but he was constantly perceiving the movements around him, preventing anyone from disturbing Lu Xuan.
