Chapter 644 - 255: Fan Wubing Is Wu Wangxinger!

Following her friend’s instructions, An An left the Illusion Immortal Tower and turned into a market street adjacent to the Spiritual Canal.

She navigated through the crowd, appearing to be just an ordinary girl.

Despite her timid nature, with her strong cultivation, she could easily sense the two gazes tracking her from behind.

This made her uneasy,

"Why am I being watched? Didn’t I prepare thoroughly before and after causing trouble in Celestial Travel County? Logically, I should have erased all traces using the Anger Demon Dao. Ordinary means couldn’t possibly detect it."

"An An, this is the capital of the Immortal Dynasty, full of exceptional talents. There might be someone who can bypass the Anger Demon Dao’s abilities."

An An furrowed her brow, "Really? But Sister Jiang said that things reversed by the Anger Demon Dao can only be corrected by the Destiny Dao. Has anyone in Changning City comprehended the Destiny Dao?"

"Of course, no one has comprehended the Destiny Dao. But, An An, Jiang Sha might not necessarily be right."

An An pouted, "Sister Jiang is always right." She was a bit troubled, "I must have been careless and left some traces not entirely erased."

"Maybe."

"Wait!" An An suddenly jolted. She took a step forward, feeling that her footsteps became particularly loud.

No, it wasn’t the footsteps getting louder, but the surroundings becoming exceedingly quiet.

She looked around in panic, only to see that the bustling market had suddenly become deserted, with only the nearby Spiritual Canal still gently flowing, purifying and classifying the mixture of energies within it.

The night became particularly heavy.

At the street corner ahead, stood a man in a Demon Extermination Bureau uniform. His features were solemn, commanding respect without anger, like a deity exorcising demons.

An An swallowed, stepping back, immediately feeling as if a great mountain was behind her. She turned her head back and saw another Demon Extermination Bureau officer, brewing a massive wall of energy, thoroughly blocking her retreat.

It seemed the entire area had been "purged" silently. Only the three of them remained.

Not far away, the Illusion Immortal Tower was brilliantly lit, alive with song and dance.

A street apart, it had become two different worlds.

"What... what’s going on?" An An’s pupils trembled.

"The Heaven-locking and Earth-locking Array. Every street and market in Changning City is enveloped with such an array. An An, it looks like they’ve been preparing for this."

An An’s chest heaved, "What... what should I do?"

"An An, with your capabilities, you can easily escape the predicament. Although they value you highly, they clearly underestimated you by only sending two Third-Tier Tribulation Immortals. This won’t be too difficult for you. But..."

"But?"

"But, An An, escaping this time means next time they’ll send stronger ones to hunt you down. The longer you stay in Changning City, the more you provoke the Demon Extermination Bureau and threaten the stability of the Immortal Dynasty. Hence, they will try every means to catch, and kill, you. You must leave Changning City."

An An’s face turned pale, "No, I can’t. If I leave, what about Sister Jiang and Fan Wubing? They can’t do without me."

"An An, we all actually know. It’s you who can’t do without them. But your identity as a Demon Cultivator has been discovered, and if you don’t leave, it will only bring them endless trouble. You’ll become a burden to them."

Hearing she would burden them, An An felt a heavy weight pressing on her chest,

"Xiaoye, what to do, what should we do? I... I can’t be a burden to them!"

She always wanted to be Jiang Sha’s reliable personal attendant, to be a good buddy Fan Wubing could depend on.

But now, not only could she not help them, she even brought trouble due to her oversight.

She couldn’t accept it.

A fierce light suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Xiaoye, let’s kill them."

Her friend’s voice became exceedingly gentle, "An An, do you really want that?"

An An’s expression turned painful, "I don’t know... I don’t know if I should do this. Xiaoye, I feel awful. I like my current life; I don’t want to go back to the way things were."

"An An, I will protect you. Don’t worry, just like before, leave everything to me. Take a nap, and when you wake up, everything will be better." Her friend’s voice, like spinning silk, wrapped around An An’s restless heart.

"Alright..." Mist rose in An An’s eyes, and then her entire demeanor, even her energy, shifted.

The change alarmed the two Demon Extermination Bureau officers, who accelerated the flow of their internal cultivation energy.

The officer ahead, dignified without anger, firmly declared,

"Bold demon cultivator, surrender now!"

An An’s friend Xiaoye faced the sky, her slender, fair neck reflecting the bright moonlight,

"Righteousness, rules, order, country, incense, golden body, heavenly law, morality, destiny..."

After muttering to herself, she looked at the officer ahead, raising her right hand slightly, and a dark blue flame flickered at her fingertips,

"The kind-hearted kneel and wag their tails in supplication, while the unscrupulous stand at the summit of propriety."

The two officers couldn’t sense her cultivation, but the energy she exuded gradually unsettled them.

They promptly decided to activate a Sound Transmission Talisman to notify the Demon Extermination Bureau.

But strangely, their spiritual thoughts pouring into the Sound Transmission Talisman not only failed to send out messages, but instead, the talisman’s power surged along their thoughts, into their Purple Mansion, launching an attack on their spirits. Fortunately, the talisman’s power wasn’t offensive in nature, causing no real harm.
