"I understand," Qianxun nodded, fearing that Huo Tianzun might be freezing, she extended several tails to wrap around his body.
Then she ordered Diao Ling, "Go check on that Taoist Bai He, bring him back for questioning."
Tonight’s events were no mere coincidence.
She wanted to know who was the puppet master behind the scenes!
Upon hearing her order, Diao Ling immediately responded, "Yes, sister-in-law!"
Before, his admiration for Qianxun stemmed from her ability to subdue someone as formidable as their boss, but now, it was reverence he felt for her.
She was a Great Demon mentioned in the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’, not someone that they, mere demons, could compare to.
And indeed, the combat power of a Great Demon was terrifying!
Fortunately, he had never offended sister-in-law before!
Ten minutes later, the agents from the Demon Management Bureau indeed arrived.
Upon seeing the tails on Qianxun, the demons who rushed over were all stunned for a moment.
If Diao Ling hadn’t appeared in time to explain, they would have thought it was Qianxun who harmed Huo Tianzun.
"This is the boss’s wife! We owe the boss’s rescue to sister-in-law’s timely arrival. Say your greetings fast!" Diao Ling said to the demons.
As soon as these words were spoken, these demons, who had never seen Qianxun before, hurried to greet her, "Greetings, sister-in-law!"
Although the headquarters of the Demon Management Bureau was in Yanjing, there were branches in every province.
So, while the demons from the headquarters had all seen Qianxun, those from the branches had not.
After hearing the demons’ greetings, Qianxun merely nodded faintly, "Let’s head back first!"
Afterward, Qianxun, carrying Huo Tianzun, left with them from Guhuai Village.
But after Qianxun had left, a dark shadow emitting a ferocious aura appeared in the pitch-black forest.
Then, the shadow rapidly moved through the woods and knelt before a figure.
"Master, Huo Tianzun has been rescued!"
"What did you say? Worthless trash, how could you fail at this?" The person’s face turned vicious.
They had gone to great lengths to capture Huo Tianzun this time, mobilizing many demons, even deploying Evil Ghosts, and using several special Formations.
And just when they had severely injured Huo Tianzun, he had still managed to escape!
How would he explain this to his superiors now?
The shadow hastily replied, "The woman who rescued Huo Tianzun is a Nine-tailed Fox. Her power is too frightening; I couldn’t beat her, so I had to retreat temporarily."
Although he had become a Ghost King, the power of the Nine-tailed Fox was too daunting, and he dared not confront her directly.
"A Nine-tailed Fox? Did you see clearly?" The man said in a heavy voice.
"This subordinate saw it absolutely clearly; she is, indeed, a Nine-tailed Fox!" The Ghost King hurriedly replied.
"I see, you may leave now."
After the Ghost King left, the man removed the ghostly mask from his face, revealing an aged visage.
If Huo Tianzun had been there, he would have recognized this individual as one of the elders of the Huaxia Xuan Sect, Taoist Yun, skilled in geomancy and highly sought after by many wealthy families.
Yet who could have known that this figure, held in high regard by many business magnates, was but a mere subordinate to certain individuals?
After leaving the village with Huo Tianzun in her arms, Qianxun saw a helicopter.
Once on the aircraft, she wrapped Huo Tianzun’s body with a blanket and stayed by his side, continuing to feed him Spiritual Energy.
Seeing this, the demons wisely kept their distance. Internally, however, they couldn’t help thinking: Never would they have imagined that their boss, a demon hunter, would end up with a demon as his partner!
