Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

With a loud shout from the short, thin man, he summoned the Second Infant King.

In an instant, a chilling wind swept through the dimly lit factory, accompanied by the mournful, shrill laughter of dolls.

Seeing that the secondary infant king had been successfully awakened through blood sacrifice, the short, thin man who had been troubled by Chen Xuan's fearlessness in the face of a gun finally smiled.

He understood that even in China, the Second Infant King was a top-tier Kumanthong, and if Longxia, this old stronghold, weren't so important, the higher-ups wouldn't have arranged for the Second Infant King to be enshrined here.

"The Second Infant King has been awakened, so no matter if you are from Bureau 749 or not, you are going to die."

Wang Wenjing, being held hostage, could naturally hear the short, thin man's words. Having traveled to Southeast Asia, she had heard of the famous Kumanthong and knew even more about the existence of the secondary and primary infant kings among Kumanthong.

Wang Wenjing looked at Chen Xuan, attempting to remind him through her eyes and micro-expressions.

However, Wang Wenjing later discovered that the environment was too dark, making it impossible for her to get through.

"Uuuuuu——"

Sensing the change in the surrounding aura, Chen Xuan simply smiled slightly.

Despite the surrounding fog and the gusts of cold wind that made it invisible to the naked eye, Chen Xuan's Yin spirit, with its Qi Refining stage power and 30 years of cultivation, was unlikely to be afraid of a mere ghost.

Although the black shadow that the Kumanthong had transformed into was darting around, trying to confuse people with its elusive movements and create psychological pressure to reduce their anger and righteousness, this might work on ordinary people, but it was useless against Chen Xuan.

With Chen Xuanyin's current strength, he has no fear of the so-called Kumanthong.

Let alone Kumanthong, he was confident he could take care of the sorcerers behind the creation of Kumanthong even if they were here.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

Chen Xuan uttered these words with a cold laugh, seemingly provoking the Kumanthong that was lurking nearby.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared, rushing out of the darkness at an extremely fast and tricky angle to grab Chen Xuan's back.

Chen Xuan simply stepped to the side and grabbed the dark figure by the neck.

At this point, the Kumanthong's skin had changed from its original orange-black to orange-yellow, clearly indicating that it had absorbed too much of the short, thin man's blood and had temporarily regained its mobility.

Its eyes bulged out, and it looked at Chen Xuan with bared teeth and claws, like a monkey that had failed to ambush and was captured instead. However, the sound it made was extremely eerie.

After Chen Xuan grabbed the Kumanthong by the neck, he immediately learned about the Kumanthong's origin through cause and effect.

This Kuman Thong is also a person with a tragic fate. His mother became pregnant with him at a young age because her husband was away from home and was having affairs.

When his father returned from working away from home, he discovered that his wife's pregnancy and due date were completely out of sync, a full four months early. At that time, his wife was already nine months pregnant and about to give birth.

The woman who was about to give birth was left penniless. His mother had no choice but to cruelly induce labor and throw the nine-month-old fetus into the trash can. A kind person found the dead baby and buried it, but unexpectedly, it was dug up by a sorcerer that very night and was then turned into a Kumanthong.

Furthermore, because the baby was killed during childbirth, it harbored immense resentment and was extremely vicious. Under the careful nurturing of the sorcerer, it transformed into the second-infant king among the Kumanthong in a short period of time.

After learning this information, Chen Xuan, holding the Kumanthong, strode toward the short, thin man restraining Wang Wenjing and said with a sneer, "Your biggest reliance isn't this little thing, is it?"

At this moment, as Chen Xuan approached, the short, thin man finally saw the Second Infant King in Chen Xuan's hand.

His eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and he even involuntarily tightened his arms around Wang Wenjing's neck.

"How could you?"

"How could you possibly defeat the Second Infant King? The Second Infant King is that carefully cultivated and capable general, impossible! This is impossible!"

The man screamed in terror, somewhat hysterical, and even more afraid of the young man in front of him.

He knew that if this matter could not be resolved perfectly, and if the internal affairs of the sand plant were exposed, not only would he and his companions die, but their families back home would also be killed by the organization.

As Chen Xuan approached step by step, the short, thin man immediately turned his gun towards Wang Wenjing's temple.

"Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll kill her!"

He was now resigned to his fate, thinking that even if he died, he would not let this person successfully rescue the hostages.

"Stop! Put down your gun!!!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out from not far away.

Immediately following was the beam of a wolf-eye flashlight, which shone directly on Wang Wenjing.

When Li Jianguo discovered that the assailant was threatening Wang Wenjing with a gun, he immediately became nervous. He understood that in this situation, the hostage could be shot dead on the spot if he was not careful.

Meanwhile, the other flashlight beam belonged to Sun Xiaoxiao, and she also saw what Chen Xuan was holding through the beam.

Upon seeing the grotesque and terrifying child, Sun Xiaoxiao screamed in fright.

She had just graduated from police academy; where had she ever seen such a bizarre and evil creature as a Kumanthong?

Even a low-level Kumanthong figurine is frightening enough, let alone a Kumanthong of the Lesser Infant King level, which can move after being sacrificed with blood.

"Taoist priest, be careful, he has a gun!"

Although Sun Xiaoxiao was terrified of Kumanthong, she still mustered up the courage to remind Chen Xuan.

Li Jianguo is very anxious. The special police haven't arrived, and no reinforcements have come. The situation has developed to this critical point, and he has no idea how to control the situation.

Chen Xuan then turned to look at Li Jianguo, his eyes filled with reproach.

Li Jianguo also saw Chen Xuan's eyes and felt guilty. If he hadn't taken Chen Xuan's information so lightly, things might not have developed to this point.

"Longxia Government Office!"

Upon seeing Li Jianguo and his companion, the short, thin man went berserk. He knew he was doomed; this matter was bound to be exposed.

However, upon learning that there were only two officials present, the short, thin man finally decided to take the plunge.

He pressed the gun against Wang Wenjing's temple, glaring venomously at Chen Xuan. "Kill them both now, and I'll let her go!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo and Sun Xiaoxiao were both stunned, knowing that they both had handguns.

Isn't this thug forcing Chen Xuan to his death?

Upon hearing the short, thin man's words, Chen Xuan turned to look at Li Jianguo and the other man.

After making eye contact with Chen Xuan, for some reason, a layer of wrinkles suddenly appeared on the back of Li Jianguo's body.

"Yes, with your skills, you can definitely kill them. This is your last hope. You don't want this woman to die, do you?" The short, thin man added fuel to the fire as soon as he saw a glimmer of hope.

Chen Xuan shook his head and looked at the short, thin man, saying, "You don't actually think you can threaten me into doing something just because you have a pistol, do you?"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan completely disregarded Wang Wenjing's life and safety, and carrying the Second Infant King in one hand, he strode towards the short and thin man.

"Stop right there! Stop right there!!"

"Damn it, let's all die together!!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan was acting completely unpredictably, the short, thin man immediately pulled the trigger and fired.

At this moment, Chen Xuan had already formed his sword fingers and uttered a low shout, "Possession with golden light!"

brush--

boom!

The moment the short, thin man pulled the trigger, Wang Wenjing was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden light.

clang!

Despite the bullet's close proximity, it failed to penetrate the Golden Light Mantra and kill Wang Wenjing. Instead, Chen Xuan secretly activated the Golden Light Mantra within Wang Wenjing, which sent the short, thin man being held hostage flying.

The man crashed heavily to the ground, a sight that drove him completely insane. He yelled as he got up, raised his gun, and fired at Wang Wenjing, but two bullets instantly blew his head open in the next second.

The shooters were Li Jianguo and Sun Xiaoxiao, who were not far away.

The two men shot and killed a vicious armed robber, and they are still in shock from the shooting.

Chen Xuan had already walked up to Wang Wenjing. After experiencing such danger, let alone a 21-year-old girl, even a 30- or 50-year-old man would have been scared to death.

As the golden light covering Wang Wenjing's body faded, she lost all support and her eyes rolled back as she was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan put one arm around Wang Wenjing.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to use his magic to stabilize Wang Wenjing's mind, the Kumanthong in his left hand began to struggle.

Chen Xuan placed Wang Wenjing on the ground, looked at the Kumanthong, then made a gesture with his right hand, drawing a talisman in the air before pointing a finger at the Kumanthong's forehead and saying, "Seal."

A spirit-suppressing talisman directly resealed the soul of the Second Infant King into his body.

At this moment, Li Jianguo and Sun Xiaoxiao also rushed over to check if Wang Wenjing was dead, after all, they had witnessed the gunshot wound to the temple.

However, as Chen Xuan rushed closer, Wang Wenjing not only showed no obvious head injuries, but she also miraculously woke up after Chen Xuan drew a few lines on her forehead.

Li Jianguo and Sun Xiaoxiao were speechless for a long time after seeing this.

Upon waking up and seeing Chen Xuan, Wang Wenjing burst into tears and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go.

"Uuuuuu——"

Chen Xuan is now a Yin spirit, and his body can freely transform into the ethereal and the real. Seeing Wang Wenjing like this, he comforted her, saying, "You are saved this time thanks to your mother. If it weren't for her, your fate would have been terrible."

"Yes, yes, I will never dare to run away to a far place without saying goodbye again, waaaaah."

Chen Xuan helped Wang Wenjing up and looked at Li Jianguo and the other person, who were still in shock. "The matter here is over, so I'll take her and leave first."

Before the two could speak, Chen Xuan continued, "The witnesses and evidence are all in the room inside. You'll understand once you rescue them. I don't want this case to be publicized by the government, understand?"

Li Jianguo didn't understand what Chen Xuan meant, but he still asked Sun Xiaoxiao to take a flashlight to check the inner room.

"Captain, they are abducted women! They are all missing persons from all over the country recently!"

Li Jianguo looked at Chen Xuan with gratitude in his eyes when he heard this. He knew that once this case was over, he would definitely be promoted.

“I’ll take this Kumanthong back and deal with it, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”

"Yes, yes, Master Chen, rest assured, I will handle the government's aftermath. The details of this matter will not be disclosed to the outside world; at most, it will be seen by the higher-ups."

Chen Xuan knew that the government used body cameras to record law enforcement actions, so it was impossible for them to miss anything that happened tonight.

"very good."

At this time, Sun Xiaoxiao also rescued the abducted women from the small room.

Chen Xuan turned his head and said, "The reason I didn't rescue you earlier is because I can only protect one person's safety from a distance."

Actually, Chen Xuan didn't need to explain; the abducted women inside already knew.

After all, the door wasn't closed, and they heard the whole thing.

Then, seven or eight women who had recently suffered torture all knelt down and kowtowed.

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he nodded to Li Jianguo and then left with Wang Wenjing, who was still in shock.

"Master, do you live in the Feixian Temple deep in the Tangwu Mountains?"

Chen Xuan didn't turn around and said, "When you have time someday, you can bring your youngest daughter to the Taoist temple. I'll give him a couple of acupuncture needles and he'll be able to speak again."

This statement came out.

Li Jianguo shuddered, his eyes then slightly moistened, and he bowed to Chen Xuan, saying, "Thank you so much, Daoist Master."

"You can call me afterward if you are a suspect in a human trafficking case. I know where she is hiding."

On a quiet path outside the desertification control plant.

Just as Chen Xuan brought Wang Wenjing out, reinforcements from the government's special police arrived.

With Chen Xuan's talisman blessing, Wang Wenjing's mind and spirit had recovered to about 70-80%.

"Young Taoist priest, where do we go next?"

Chen Xuan felt uncomfortable being called "brother," and said, "I'll take you to a hotel."

"okay."

Wang Wenjing was delighted to hear this and did not feel it was abrupt at all.

After this incident, she realized that she had completely fallen for this man.
