Chapter 32: Fishing on the Main Street

He observed the exterior for a moment.

But he did not go straight in or knock to pay a visit.

Now it was basically certain that the mastermind behind the scenes was definitely related to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce; they were people from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

This Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was the enemy's base camp, and for him to rashly break in would be equivalent to breaking into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

It was fraught with danger.

He was no fool, and he would not do such a thing.

Although he did not fear the mastermind lurking behind the scenes, nor the many Weird, that did not mean he wanted to increase the difficulty by running into their home turf to fight them one-on-one.

Even if he were to infiltrate, he would have to make thorough preparations.

Of course, the best method was to beat the grass to startle the snake and lure the snake out of its hole. Thinking to this point, Li Heng had a rough plan in mind. Thus, he immediately abandoned his previous intention.

Standing before that gate—which was neither gold nor copper, and made of a material that was definitely extraordinary—he knocked on the door lightly.

Dong dong!

Li Heng's backhand struck the gate, emitting a dull, loud sound directly; the entire door began to tremble, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"Who is it? This is the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce! Are you looking to die by knocking so loudly?" From inside the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce came an impatient voice, filled with anger.

Immediately following, the gate opened. An old man of about seventy or eighty stood before Li Heng, looking furious.

"Where did you come from? Do you know where this is?"

"You actually dare to offend the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce? Do you believe that tonight you'll be sinking to the bottom of the Tongtian River to feed the fish?"

The old man's tone was extremely unfriendly.

Li Heng's expression remained completely calm as he directly displayed his Token. "An Official Exorcist from Bei'an City has come to visit. Please call the person in charge of your chamber of commerce; do not delay."

The old man had initially been dismissive—an Exorcist? Did he really think Old Man Qin was scared easily? He had been with more women than this wet-behind-the-ears youngster!

He had intended to mock him like that.

Until he took a closer look at the Demon Suppression Division Token and was suddenly stunned.

He revealed an expression of disbelief, rubbing his eyes with his rough palms, only then confirming he hadn't seen wrong.

"This... this... so it is an Exorcist lord."

"I, this old man, will go notify them right away, I will go notify them right away."

This Old Man Qin was so frightened that his speech became somewhat stuttered, but the expression on his face changed extremely quickly, turning into a fawning smile before he hurriedly ran into the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

Li Heng's expression was calm; this was the effect he wanted.

Beating the grass to startle the snake.

He was not afraid of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's mastermind knowing he had found this place. As long as he did not enter someone else's home turf and fall into an enemy ambush, he feared nothing.

Even if an enemy he could not deal with using all his strength truly appeared, he still had ten points of Source Power, which was exactly enough to use his trump card once; this was one of his sources of confidence.

Otherwise, he would not have accepted this mission in the first place, nor would he have happily run to this Sanshan Gathering to hunt and capture Weird.

Soon, surrounded by seven or eight sturdy men, that Steward Wang walked before Li Heng with a cold and stern expression.

"I wonder what business this Exorcist has coming to my Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?" This Steward Wang cupped his hands, saying with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"There is no other matter, I have only come to notify you."

"Last night, there was a Weird intrusion at my Demon Suppression Division station. Although I subdued it, there may still be Weird existing at the Sanshan Gathering, so I have come specifically to notify you to make preparations."

Li Heng said indifferently, then immediately turned and left.

"Since you already know, I should go notify the next place. Tell your people to prepare more."

Hearing this, Steward Wang's expression was uncertain.

But he did not dare to make a move, and could only watch Li Heng leave, surrounded by the many men. After Li Heng had completely departed, his expression turned completely gloomy.

Why would this Exorcist suddenly come knocking? Could it be that their affairs had been discovered? But why, how could it be so fast? Steward Wang frowned in thought.

No!

Regardless of whether this Exorcist knew or not, he still had to report this matter to the Second Young Master and let the Second Young Master decide!

Arriving in one of the courtyards, Steward Wang spoke respectfully, directly recounting what had just happened.

"Oh? Truly interesting. This Exorcist from the tiny Bei'an City actually has such ability? Finding us so quickly?"

The Second Young Master's voice came out, carrying a hint of a chuckle.

"Then leave this to that Laogui to handle. Let him take action to resolve it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

"Yes!" Steward Wang replied, turning around immediately.

This courtyard fell back into silence. If someone were to accidentally wander in here and open the door to this room, they would definitely discover that there was absolutely no one inside the room.

"Laogui, the Second Young Master has ordered: resolve that Exorcist with all speed, no mistakes allowed!"

Steward Wang brought the Second Young Master's written order.

Laogui fell silent. Was it really a case of fearing something and having it happen? Was he really not going to be given any time to prepare?

"Laogui, according to reports from my Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's informants at the gathering, that Exorcist should still be on the main street."

"So, you should understand."

Steward Wang said indifferently.

Although killing someone on the street and having Weird cause trouble in broad daylight was a matter that damaged the national customs of Great Li and did not conform to the rules of the game.

But now, the Node was approaching, and the Wave was coming.

Not to mention the vast territory of Great Li, even just within the scope of this Bei'an City, and even Beijun, everything would rot, or even be lost.

On the eve of this moment.

So-called laws and regulations could still be violated once or twice.

This was indeed good news; Laogui felt a surge of joy in his heart. In that case, he didn't need to prepare much; he could just suddenly erupt on the street and kill him.

The key was to take him by surprise.

If the strike fails, he could conveniently let himself get injured and flee a thousand miles away; that way, he would have an explanation for that Second Young Master. He couldn't possibly be expected to risk his life, could he?

A Guest Elder contract is not a slave contract.

"Fine, I will set off immediately!"

Laogui hurriedly gathered his things and left the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Steward Wang followed closely behind. A Rune lit up on his wrist; it was something the Second Young Master had bestowed upon him.

Li Heng was extremely relaxed and content.

After leaving the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he stopped to buy paper and a brush, wrote a casual letter, and handed it to He Qing, telling him to rush to Bei'an City and deliver it to Meng Lingyun of the Demon Suppression Division.

That's right, he was preparing to call for reinforcements.

In any case, his goal was to hunt Weirds and obtain Source Power. As for how to hunt them? Well, there were plenty of options.

Calling people over for a group beatdown was certainly a good method.

At the same time, it could also reduce the risks he might encounter himself.

Although Li Heng did not promise He Qing any reward, He Qing was very happy. Because he felt that delivering this letter to Bei'an City might be his opportunity to return to Bei'an City.

He left at high speed right under Xu Liang's puzzled gaze.

Xu Liang was somewhat confused; why was this kid He Qing smiling so happily over an errand with no reward?

He did not understand this point and continued to follow Li Heng's instructions.

Monitoring that family.

One has to admit, that old woman's son was truly a beast. After seeing that his sister could not be found, he even set his sights on this old woman, who was his own mother.

This left someone as pure as Xu Liang deeply shocked.

"If that son really does commit such a beastly act, just break his legs directly."

Li Heng said indifferently; this old woman did not deserve such a fate.

Afterward, he left directly to stroll along the main street, buying things and eating delicious food—how happy he was.

And while he was at it, he would do a bit of fishing.
