Chapter 302: Observatory Tower

Xia Ziyang thought that Hua Changxi chasing that shape-shifting demon would inevitably lead to a battle. Once a battle broke out, it would definitely affect others. If they followed behind to save people, they could just harvest a wave of prestige.

"Yuchuan, we brought too few people. Send a message to Qingyao quickly and ask her to bring some people over."

Meng Yuchuan had always wanted to accumulate prestige for Meng Qingyao. With such an opportunity, he would naturally not miss it, and quickly sent the message.

"I hope Hua Changxi is reliable and don't let that demon run away."

Just like that, Xia Ziyang led Meng Yuchuan and a few others to follow the Demon-Suppressing Army, rushing through the streets and alleys of the capital.

On the other side, the snake demon knew that human cultivators didn't want to affect ordinary people, so it went wherever there were many people.

Because Hua Changxi had concerns, she didn't dare to force the snake demon too hard, for fear that the snake demon would suddenly explode and attack the ordinary people.

In addition, after activating the look, listen, ask, and feel technique, she could quickly distinguish the snake demon from the crowd. Along the way, she was very careful not to disturb the pedestrians on the street, just following not far or near, looking for a suitable opportunity to strike.

"Move aside, move aside!"

The Demon-Suppressing Army was not as calm as Hua Changxi. They could only rely on the Demon-Revealing Jade to absorb demon Qi to track the position of the snake demon and Hua Changxi. Seeing the light on the Demon-Revealing Jade getting dimmer, they chased more and more urgently.

When passing through the downtown area, they were often fiery and aggressive; plus, Xia Ziyang and his party were following closely behind. Once they passed, they made the pedestrians on the street panic.

"Did something happen?"

"Did you see that? That's the Demon-Suppressing Army. When the Demon-Suppressing Army is dispatched, either there are demons or a cultivator injury event has occurred."

"Don't watch the fun, go home quickly."

As night fell, the pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.

"Battalion Commander, the Demon-Revealing Jade has no reaction."

After leaving the East City area, Hua Dalang and the Demon-Suppressing Army under his command lost the traces of Hua Changxi and the snake demon.

Not far away, Xia Ziyang, Meng Yuchuan, and others also stopped.

Seeing that the Demon-Suppressing Army didn't continue to chase, Meng Yuchuan frowned: "The famous Demon-Suppressing Army is nothing more than this, actually losing the person!"

Xia Ziyang's face was also not good, not only because he lost Hua Changxi, but also because along the way, no one was affected. His goal of wanting to accumulate prestige was considered a failure.

Tonight, they all worked in vain!

"Battalion Commander!"

The Demon-Suppressing Army soldier responsible for watching from the eaves suddenly called out to Hua Dalang.

Hearing this, Hua Dalang immediately flew onto the roof. Immediately after, his sister's eye-catching red figure came into view.

With the bright moon in the sky, more than ten blocks away, Hua Changxi was galloping on the eaves. Every time she swept over a few eaves, she would jump down and disappear for a while, then appear on the eaves again, disappear again, then appear again, disappear again......

Seeing this, Hua Dalang immediately led the Demon-Suppressing Army to rush over there. Xia Ziyang and his party also hurriedly followed.

By the time Hua Changxi appeared again, she was standing on the eaves of a five-story inn, and the inn was full of people.

"Damn it, actually let that snake demon escape!"

Hua Changxi stomped her feet in frustration.

"Forget it, that snake demon was hit by my spiritual needles. I think it will be unable to come out and make trouble for a short time."

After muttering unwillingly for a while, Hua Changxi drove her spiritual cloud and quickly disappeared on the eaves.

Not long after Hua Changxi left, Hua Dalang led the Demon-Suppressing Army and hurried past the inn, followed by Xia Ziyang and his party.

With the Demon-Suppressing Army dispatched, the ordinary people around the inn didn't dare to hang out on the street anymore, hurriedly returned home, and closed their doors tightly.

Soon, the street was empty.

Time passed to midnight. In the silence, a green snake a foot long crawled out of the inn's woodshed.

The snake crawled very fast, its figure completely hidden in the shadows.

By the time the green snake crawled to the relatively open street intersection, in the darkness, several fire lights like lightning suddenly appeared, heading straight for the green snake.

"Ah~"

The shrill scream tore through the silent night sky.

Hua Dalang, who had found nothing, was preparing to lead his men back to the Heaven Department for handover. Hearing the scream, he was startled and flew to lead the Demon-Suppressing Army to rush in the direction of the sound.

Following behind the Demon-Suppressing Army, Xia Ziyang and Meng Yuchuan, who had been turning around the capital for several hours, looked at each other.

Meng Yuchuan hesitated: "Should we follow?"

Xia Ziyang gritted his teeth: "Follow!"

On the other side, Hua Changxi didn't expect that the snake demon could still escape after she shattered its demon core, so she could only chase after it quickly.

Chasing and chasing, she felt something was wrong.

The direction the snake demon was fleeing was the direction of the Central Street where the Heaven Department was located!

The Heaven Department, the station of the Demon-Suppressing Army. Is this snake demon rushing to die?

When arriving at the intersection of Central Street, the foot-long snake demon suddenly stopped and spoke human language: "Hua Changxi, as long as you are willing to let me go, I am willing to serve you as master."

Hua Changxi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I don't want demon beasts that have eaten people!" Spiritual Qi lingered in her hands, and fire spiritual needles condensed quickly.

Hearing this, the snake demon gritted its teeth: "Hua Changxi, you are exterminating everything. The demon race and you are irreconcilable! Even if I die, I won't let you get my body." After speaking, like a bolt of lightning, it rushed into a high-rise building on Central Street.

The moment the snake demon moved, the fire spiritual needles at Hua Changxi's fingertips also shot out.

"Bang~"

The snake demon was hit by the fire spiritual needles, but it also rushed into the high-rise building. A moment later, the high-rise building shook, as if it had been hit by some heavy object.

Then, the top of the high-rise building lit up with brilliant light. The light radiated for several miles, illuminating the entire Central Street.

Hua Changxi soon chased to the front of the high-rise building, only to find that the place where the snake demon rushed into was the Qintian Building.

Qintian Building, a place for observing stars and fortune-telling, was very mysterious before the spiritual Qi revival, only obeying the imperial family; after the spiritual Qi revival, it became even more mysterious, and even the Emperor was not allowed to enter at will.

Hua Changxi looked at the light on the top of the building, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

It is said that this Qintian Building connects to the stars of the Zhou Tian. I wonder if it is true?

If I hadn't met it, that would be fine, but since I ran into it...... I really want to go in and see.

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed with eager light. The snake demon should have died inside. She went in to collect the demon beast she hunted. This reason should be very presentable, right?

Thinking this, and seeing that the Qintian Building was hit open by the snake demon, Hua Changxi hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously stepped into the Qintian Building.

The brilliant light on the top of the Qintian Building caused too much movement, so that Yan Zhenzhen, Jing Le, and Tong Yao, who were patrolling the North City, West City, and South City, all noticed it.

Seeing this, the three of them rushed here without exception.

Qintian Building, in ancient times, was named Observatory Tower. The treasure of the town building was the Zhou Tian Star Disk, which could move the stars. The movement of the stars could manifest the trend of the four spirit world pattern.

The anomaly in the Observatory Tower must mean something happened.

At the same time, in the Heaven Department next to the Qintian Building, Wei Zhenjie looked thoughtfully at Yuan Qi, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor who was drinking tea in the room, and tested with a smile.

"The demon race appeared on Central Street. The Demon-Suppressing Army should have been dispatched to suppress it, but you stopped me from intervening, and now you let Hua Changxi enter the Qintian Building......"

"Did you divine anything?"

Yuan Qi smiled without saying a word, continuing to drink tea. ===== CHAPTER 303 =====
