A gunshot rang out, precisely hitting the man’s knife-wielding wrist. Amid the man’s loud scream, the child fell, and Luo Yingbai rolled to catch and protect her.
By now, the thick smoke and flames were about to burst out.
Xia Xianning stepped forward, blocking in front of Luo Yingbai, forming a seal with his hands, chanting with changing gestures:
“Purple ascending heaven, crimson clouds unmoving, water essence requested, supreme ultimate circle, by my command, retreat!”
Standing alone, his magical seal formed, blue light splashing, actually forcing the fire to retreat, sealed within a circle, temporarily unable to spread.
The fire department had also arrived. Seeing the little girl successfully rescued, they immediately began firefighting and evacuation. Those following Xia Xianning pressed the two suspects down. Due to the swift actions of both sides, no personnel were injured.
Luo Yingbai was already standing, holding the child. Xia Xianning patted the dust off him: “You okay?”
Luo Yingbai always felt happy seeing him, with his smile returning to his face. He shook his head: “Not bad, you weren’t slow.”
Xia Xianning gave a light snort: “No need for your praise.”
Saying this, he still extended his fist to bump with Luo Yingbai’s, both their faces showing amusement.
He was originally going to look for traces of yin energy, but before he could start, he received a message from Luo Yingbai at the window: “No ghost shadows seen, authenticity suspicious.”
But yin energy and murderous energy are separate, traces hard to discern, seems to be sealed.
“No ghost shadows seen” – could it mean that the “ghost” the children spoke of was not a real ghost? If not a ghost, what could it be?
After he thought of this, the seal on the boy’s corpse was dropped by blood energy on Luo Yingbai’s side, and the yin energy suddenly burst out without obstruction, allowing him to determine the exact location. When he arrived, he had just successfully coordinated with Luo Yingbai.
Luo Yingbai touched the little girl’s forehead, knowing she was probably just drugged and her body was unharmed, which finally put his mind at ease. Looking at the firelight, he said, “Didn’t expect this matter to blow up so big.”
