Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

After Fang Bupo finished speaking, he stared at Li Zhi with a sharp gaze.

His eyes were sharp and incisive, as if he wanted to catch any sign of abnormality from Li Zhi's expression and face.

However, Fang Bupo's expectations were dashed.

Li Zhi's face was as calm as water, without the slightest ripple, just like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to glimpse the mystery within.

Li Zhi's expression was natural, not betraying any suspicion. He calmly replied, "Yes, I am indeed from the Yongguo Night Patrol."

Fang Bupo nodded and continued, "I have already sent someone to notify the relevant personnel to come and verify your identity. I hope you will be patient. If I have offended you in any way during this process, I hope you will forgive me!"

Li Zhi smiled understandingly and replied, "That's fine. This is what should be done."

After that, the room fell into silence.

Fang Bupo did not leave, but sat there quietly, staying in the room with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was initially curious as to why Fang Bupo, the great general of Qi State, could sit here with him so leisurely.

But soon, he figured out the reason.

It seems that Fang Bupo saw Li Zhi's attack just now, and he was worried that Li Zhi was too strong and the soldiers could not suppress him.

If Li Zhiyong's identity as the Night Patrol Officer is fake, a conflict will surely break out when his identity is exposed.

By that time, if the soldiers failed to capture Li Zhi and let Li Zhi escape, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, Fang Bupo, a great general, condescended to come here to guard Li Zhi.

After realizing this, a helpless smile appeared on Li Zhi's lips again.

He knew very well that although the current situation was a bit embarrassing, his true identity was not false at all, so he naturally did not need to worry about being exposed by others.

The two of them just sat there quietly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

However, this calm did not last long.

Not long after, a rapid bird call was suddenly heard outside the house.

“Chirp—”

Li Zhi's brows jumped suddenly, and just when he became alert, he heard a loud "boom" and the roof above his head seemed to be lifted up by a huge force and shattered into pieces in an instant.

As the roof collapsed, a huge red bird appeared above like a small mountain.

It spread its wide wings, completely blocking out the sunlight above, causing the space where Li Zhi was to be instantly shrouded in a large black shadow.

The red bird looked aggressive and seemed to be full of hostility towards Li Zhi.

Without even saying hello, it stretched out its sharp claws and pounced towards Li Zhi like lightning.

Faced with this sudden attack, Li Zhi frowned slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, the Qi in his body began to circulate rapidly like surging waves. It was obvious that he was ready to use all his strength to teach this ignorant monster a severe lesson.

However, just as Li Zhi was about to make a move, his eyes inadvertently swept across Fang Bupo standing beside him.

What surprised him was that there was no trace of surprise or panic on Fang Bupo's face. Instead, he seemed extremely calm.

Li Zhi's heart stirred. He had been preparing to use all his strength, but he forcibly withdrew 40% of it. He suddenly stretched out his fingers and pointed directly at the huge claw.

There was a loud "bang" and the powerful force contained in the Spirit Pointing Finger hit the red bird like a bolt of lightning.

The bird was violently knocked back by the force and let out a sharp cry.

“Chirp—”

The red bird didn't seem to be hurt too much, but rather seemed a little excited. It raised its head and yelled, the sound echoing in the air, as if provoking Li Zhi.

Just as it was about to continue its attack, Fang Bupo beside it suddenly said, "Enough!"

Fang Bupo's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

The bird above suddenly froze in its tracks when it heard Fang Bupo's voice. Its wings fluttered slightly, as if reluctantly, but eventually it slowly retracted itself.

Then, a surprising scene happened—the red bird began to change!

Its body gradually shrank, its feathers slowly faded away, and finally it turned into a human form!

Li Zhi widened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling doubtful.

Is this a monster in disguise?

This thought immediately popped into his mind.

However, when he carefully observed the monster that had transformed into a human form, he found that there was not a trace of demonic energy on it.

This surprised Li Zhi a little. Generally speaking, monsters would emit a strong demonic aura, but the one in front of him had none of that at all.

However, Li Zhi's doubts did not last long, because he soon heard the man in red speaking.

"I am Yan Ji, the head of the Night Patrol Division of Qi State! Nice to meet you, fellow Daoist. You are so powerful, you are worthy of being a member of the Night Patrol Division of Yong State!"

The man in red smiled and bowed to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was naturally aware that Qi had a Night Patrol Office.

However, Li Zhi knew very little about the specific personnel situation within the Qi State Night Tour Department. However, he knew very well that the person who could hold the position of the head of the Qi State Night Tour Department was definitely not a monster.

Therefore, Li Zhi speculated that Yan Ji should have used some kind of transformation technique.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi smiled and bowed to Yan Ji in return, saying, "Sir Yan's transformation skills are really eye-opening for me."

Then, Li Zhi was also curious, and he continued to ask Yan Ji: "I wonder how Yan Si Shou was sure that I was from Yongguo Yeyousi?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ji burst into laughter, then pointed his finger at his head and said, "This is all based on my intuition!"

Li Zhi was a little surprised when he heard this answer.

He had originally thought that Yan Ji would have a more rigorous method to confirm his identity, such as using some special magic weapon or spell to detect whether he was lying. But he didn't expect Yan Ji to make a judgment based on intuition alone.

Li Zhi turned to look at Fang Bupo who was standing beside him. He was surprised to see Fang Bupo say, "Yan Si Shou's intuition is always very accurate. If he says it is, then it can't be wrong."

This sentence made Li Zhi feel helpless. He originally thought that Qi State was so serious and cautious that it should use some magic weapon or spell to verify his identity.

Unexpectedly, in the end, I had to rely solely on Yan Ji's intuition to make my judgment.

Yan Ji looked at Li Zhi's stunned expression, laughed, and said, "Although my intuition is very accurate, but... the necessary procedures still need to be followed. Fellow Daoist, please come with me to the Night Tour Division!"

After hearing what Yan Ji said, Li Zhi naturally would not refuse. He responded: "Then please let Yan Sishou lead the way."

After saying that, Yan Ji took Li Zhi away.
