When they walked out of the sixth ward, Group Leader Qi and Old Meiās faces were clouded with gloom.
Clearly, they were not in a good mood.
Because from the mouths of those six kidnappers, they couldnāt learn anything useful.
Just like Bald with a Beard, these six people were all drained of blood by the zombie, but none of them saw the zombieās appearance.
Their memories all stopped before entering that Yin Coffin.
After entering the Yin Coffin, they immediately fainted, losing consciousness.
They didnāt even know whether it hurt when the zombie bit their necks to suck blood.
It can be said that everyone has been waiting in vain for these three days.
"Leader, I think we should start from that Qingfeng!"
The young man surnamed Ma suggested.
"Yes, we are completely in the dark about the situation with the vampire zombie."
"To complete the task, we must utilize Zhenyuanās fortune-telling ability."
"And currently, only Qingfeng can contact Zhenyuan, so we must get him to cooperate with our actions."
The young man surnamed Kong nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Group Leader Qi thought for a while and found that this was indeed the only option left.
"But what if he refuses to cooperate with us?"
He looked at the two beside him and asked softly.
"For the bigger picture, since heās a Dragon Country citizen, he must cooperate with us, no matter what!"
The young man surnamed Ma replied without hesitation.
"Exactly!"
"For the bigger picture!"
Group Leader Qi muttered to himself.
...
"Little Taoist, Iāve already told you everything I can say."
"Weāve worked together quite happily before, so Iām reminding you to be careful of the other people in the Religious Affairs Bureau..."
Director Li finished speaking, patted Lu Hengās shoulder, and turned to leave the room.
Watching his departing figure, Lu Heng couldnāt help but frown.
No wonder Elder Song wasnāt seen earlier.
It turns out the Religious Affairs Bureau changed directors!
"These people really have some imagination, trying to recruit āZhenyuanā?"
Recalling what Director Li had just said, Lu Heng couldnāt help but let out a cold laugh.
Since you donāt show me any respect, donāt expect me to give you any either.
He casually tore a piece of white paper and wrote a few words on it.
Then, he activated an Earth Escape Talisman and instantly disappeared from the room.
At the same time, the emergency response teamās vehicle also arrived at the main residence of the Yan Family.
After visiting Old Mr. Yan, Group Leader Qi and his team went to Yan Yaās courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, they saw Qingling playing chess with Qingming.
"Excuse me, does Taoist Qingfeng live here?"
Group Leader Qi asked with a smile.
"No, heās not here."
Seeing the two unfamiliar young men from the hospital the other day, Qingming shook his head in reply.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"If Qingfeng doesnāt live here, has he moved to the heavens?"
The young man surnamed Kong immediately stood up, looking angry.
"Then why are you asking if you already know?"
"A rhetorical question?"
Qingming said with a not quite sincere smile.
"You..."
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Kong turned red with anger.
"Itās good that Taoist Qingfeng lives here."
"Could you ask him to come out and meet us?"
"We are from the Religious Affairs Bureauās emergency response team and have some matters to request his help with..."
Group Leader Qi maintained his smiling face, showing no change from start to finish.
"No, he canāt."
Qingming shook his head again and then pointed to the chessboard in front of him, expressing helplessness: "Weāre playing chess, and itās a critical moment!"
"Checkmate!"
At that moment, Qingling timely took one of Qingmingās red pieces and shouted loudly.
"No way, how did you checkmate me?"
"And why did you take my cannon?"
Qingmingās eyes widened instantly, his face showing displeasure.
"Your cannon was right there. Why shouldnāt I take it?"
Qingling also replied discontentedly.
Seeing the two arguing about a chess move right in front of him, Group Leader Qiās smile froze.
"Leader, maybe we should look for him ourselves!"
The young man surnamed Ma suggested helplessly when he saw this.
"Alright then!"
Group Leader Qi took a deep breath, adjusted his stiff facial expression, and nodded in agreement.
Next, the young man surnamed Ma and the young man surnamed Kong stepped forward and started knocking on each roomās door.
But after knocking all around, no one answered.
What to do?
The two looked at each other, eye to eye.
"Forget it, let me do it!"
Group Leader Qi, feeling helpless, took out his phone and made a call to Old Mei.
After confirming which room Qingfeng was staying in, he knocked hard on the door and called out: "Taoist Qingfeng, are you there?"
He knocked several times and called several times, but still, no one responded.
"Leader, let me try!"
The young man surnamed Ma quickly stepped forward and rammed the door open with force.
"Qingfeng, are you deliberately not opening the door?"
The young man surnamed Kong shouted coldly into the room after barging in.
But inside the room, besides his echo, there was no other sound.
Group Leader Qi also walked in, carefully looking around, somewhat bewildered.
Whereās the person?
"Leader, thereās a note here!"
A female team member picked up the white paper Lu Heng had left behind and called out to Group Leader Qi and the others.
Everyone came forward to take a look and saw that the paper had five words written on it: "Something came up, left first."
This time, it was everyoneās turn to exchange bewildered glances.
With Qingfeng gone, where would they find Zhenyuanās whereabouts?
...
At seven in the evening, in a small town along the border.
Having just finished dinner, Lu Heng calculated with his fingers and realized it had been quite some time since his last livestream.
He donned his old outfit again and put on the Illusion Demon Mask, transforming into "Zhenyuan."
For tonightās livestream, he planned to reveal his location and also expose himself a bit.
He now had a bit of a foundation and no longer needed to be as cautious as in the beginning.
Moreover, with the Religious Affairs Bureauās changing attitude, it was time to bring the "Zhenyuan" card onto the table.
The Religious Affairs Bureau isnāt just dreaming wildly, wanting "Zhenyuan" to train cultivators for them, is it?
Then Iāll use "Zhenyuanās" identity to overturn the table, letting everyone know about the "Spiritual Qi Revival."
Iām curious to see, after the "Spiritual Qi Revival" is exposed, what capabilities your Religious Affairs Bureau has to handle the various forces within the Dragon Country?
Fueled by the thought of "Iām upset, so Iāll overturn the table," Lu Heng directly went live as "Zhenyuan" for tonightās stream.
The Douhu platform immediately pushed the live broadcast notification to the viewers.
Upon receiving the notifications, everyone quickly flocked into the livestream room.
"After so many days of waiting, finally the Daoist has gone live again!"
"Iāve been so restless with anticipation, not even interested in admiring art films."
"Huh? Thatās not right, Daoist, why arenāt you wearing a mask?"
"Whoa! The Daoist is actually showing his face during the livestream?"
"Daoist, are you planning to open your own package?"
"Daoist, your ethereal and immortal demeanor looks just like how I imagined an Immortal might."
"Wah wah wah... Daoist, you look just like my grandfather. Could you be my real grandfather?"
"Your grandmother: 6!"
