That is why he confidently got on the carriage.
Li Fengyi and Yu Hong both looked grim; these demon fiends were so audacious to appear openly before the Demon Suppression Guard.
Of course, if Wei Fan and the others hadn’t noticed the problem, it would be very hard to discern a demon fiend who hadn’t eaten humans and had transformed into one.
"This incense indeed has a problem; its color has changed!"
Li Fengyi communicated telepathically.
Wei Fan looked and noticed that the smoke in the incense burner, which was previously pure white, now had a faint tinge of yellow. If they hadn’t been aware of the issue and kept a close eye on the incense burner, they would never have noticed such a subtle change.
"It’s Mind-Bending Fragrance; it needs poison, which suggests the demon fiend isn’t very powerful."
Yu Hong also spoke telepathically. He hadn’t believed Wei Fan before, but out of caution, he hadn’t said much. Now he was convinced.
Everyone calmed down internally; since it needed poison, it proved the demon fiend behind it wasn’t very powerful.
Thud thud...
Sounds like heavy objects falling came from inside the carriage, causing the ’captains’ on horseback to smile, but out of caution, they didn’t move.
The carriage kept moving until it reached Wu Family Village. Only then did Li Wenchang get off his carriage and come to pull back the curtain of Wei Fan’s carriage: "Gentlemen, we’ve arrived at Wu Family Village!"
There was no response to his call. He gave Yu Hong, who was closest to him, a nudge: "Young brother, we’ve arrived at Wu Family Village, why are you all asleep?"
He got no response from the nudge. Li Wenchang let out a sigh of relief: "Looks like they’re really knocked out."
The ’captains’ jumped off their horses: "No matter how cautious they were, they couldn’t have imagined that you, the County Magistrate, were already one of our people, quietly sneaking into town, not knowing that our people had already recognized them. Hu Meiniang’s plan was seamless, and one step was bound to catch them!"
Hu Meiniang?
Feigning unconsciousness, Wei Fan’s heart skipped; had that Fox Demon Hu Meiniang from Yun City come to Bamboo Sea County?
If it really was Hu Meiniang, it would be a perfect opportunity to resolve the unfinished business in Yun City altogether.
Li Wenchang looked at the demon fiends and said in a slightly deep voice: "Now that the people are knocked out, you can take them away. I hope you keep your word; this is the first and last time!
Leave Bamboo Sea County quickly. Once I go back, I have to report this. The Demon Suppression Bureau will surely send experts when they hear about these three."
One of the ’captains’ chuckled: "We will leave soon, Li Wenchang; rest assured. You are our Fox Race son-in-law. We would harm anyone but you, and who knows, we might need your help in the future.
You did well this time, and once the ancestral transformation is complete, you will be rewarded."
"Pah!"
Upon hearing the words Fox Race son-in-law, Li Wenchang couldn’t help but spit: "You shameless scoundrels tricked me; this is a lifelong disgrace to me, no more words.
I will not help you again. Give up, or I will fight you to the death."
"Fight to the death, do you have the guts?"
One of the ’captains’ had his face darken, and his hand instantly became a bear claw, with sharp claws extended. He stepped forward and scratched Li Wenchang’s chest, making him bleed profusely.
Li Wenchang screamed miserably, his face turned pale: "Xiong Guangneng, you bastard, you break your promises, are you going to kill me to silence me..."
The demon fiends burst into laughter upon hearing this: "With such courage, how dare you talk about fighting to the death."
The demon fiend called Xiong Guangneng said, "Why would I kill you? I might need to ask for your help later. If we all ’captains’ and the Demon Suppression Guard were dead, how would you explain without some wounds?"
Li Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing they weren’t going to kill him but were just causing him some injuries.
"Hurry up and leave, or if you’re late, you might bleed to death on the way back. Don’t worry, we won’t come looking for you again anytime soon. After all, if incidents like this happen too often, the Demon Suppression Bureau will get suspicious; we must work slowly and steadily.
Once the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau leave, I’ll have Qiaoqiao bring your son to see you."
To hell with the son!
If possible, he would rather crush that son to death with his bare hands.
Li Wenchang’s eyes were ablaze with fury, but he could only watch helplessly as Xiong Guangneng and the others drove the carriage away.
