This Dao Ancestor is too young.

Zhang Yuanzhu gripped the sword hilt tightly, his eyes filled with thought.

The woman did not urge him, but simply waited for the young man to make his choice.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhang Yuanzhu nodded slightly on his forehead:

"I also wish to slay all demons and eliminate all bandits."

No matter what schemes or plans the other party has, he is willing to take action as long as the process can cut off the collusion with evil forces.

Upon hearing this, Constable Huang's red lips curved into a smile as she pointed to the wooden chair behind the long table:

"sit!"

Zhang Yuanzhu didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and, with a flick of his sleeve, a teapot appeared.

He reached out and picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one cup towards the woman:

"Which forces within the city are colluding with the demon race, and when does the head constable plan to make his move?"

The woman sat down again, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then responded:

"The Dragon Worship Society in the East of the City, wipe them out tonight!"

His voice was icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

She toyed with the teacup, her eyes holding a complex emotion, and whispered:

"The Dragon Worship Society is relatively weak, so it's perfect to use them as the 'chicken' in the 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey' scenario!"

"Moreover, the Dragon Worship Society is one of the main forces that stirred up trouble and led the cultivators to Guanglan Street."

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand, pulled the teacup in front of him, lowered his eyes, and concealed his emotions.

Killing chickens to warn monkeys?

Either kill the monkey to scare the chicken, or kill both the chicken and the monkey; why go through all this trouble?

However, since the woman had made the arrangements, he did not raise any objections.

"I will join forces this evening to annihilate the Dragon Worship Society."

The woman nodded, raised her teacup, drank the tea in it, and carefully examined the boy.

A moment later, her red lips parted slightly:

"Your cultivation method is water-based, while mine is fire-based. Water and fire are mutually exclusive, but they also have similarities. If you have any questions, you may ask."

"Let us discuss this matter further."

In an instant, Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes lit up.

He knew this was the benefit the woman was going to give him after she asked him to do it.

Since he embarked on his spiritual practice, he has relied on scriptures, techniques, and supernatural powers to cultivate, but has never studied systematically, and still has many doubts in his heart.

Without hesitation, he directly stated his thoughts:

"Water is gentle, concealed, and ever-flowing. Its momentum is slow, calm, and still, like the ocean embracing all rivers and bringing together all paths. Perhaps it can be the source of all paths in the world. What do you think, Chief Constable?"

In an instant, the nonchalant attitude in Huang Butou's eyes vanished, her brows furrowed, and she retorted:

"Your Excellency speaks arrogantly. Do not say that the Dao Ancestor's Yin-Yang Dao can create all things and is the mother of all Daos. How could we Fire Law practitioners be subordinate to Water Law practitioners?"

"The four courtyards of Qingyangzhai, the Tai Ri Dao lineage of Xianbing Valley, and the Yu Yang Divine Temple of Wuliang Palace all practice fire magic, which is incomparable to water magic!"

"Water magic can be used for supplementary purposes, treatment, healing, and warming, but how can it be the source of all other methods?"

When it comes to one's own spiritual path and the principles one practices, no one can remain calm.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm, his heart unmoved.

Throughout history, it has never been the roads that are remarkable, but the creatures that walk on them.

The way of Yin and Yang in the future will be like this, and the way of water today will also be like this.

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Snapped!

"Water benefits all things without striving, therefore none in the world can rival it!"

"Giggle~"

"What is the point of contention or non-contention? Fire moves within, melting metal, burning wood, steaming water, and transforming earth, causing the four elements to cycle endlessly!"

......

As the argument between the two intensified, Huang Butou felt as if she were conversing with someone of the same realm, and she began to share her cultivation insights without reservation.

The young man made no attempt to hide anything, demonstrating water magic and explaining the various insights he gained after being possessed by supernatural powers.

In the end, it was the woman who persuaded the boy.

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips twitched as he gazed at the delicate hand resting on his shoulder, feeling the power emanating from it. He stopped discussing water techniques and instead inquired about basic cultivation knowledge:

"Low-grade magic artifacts, mid-grade magic artifacts, then how are artifacts classified?"

The woman gave Yan the boy a strange look. He didn't even know such basic cultivation knowledge. Was he really from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce?

Withdrew his hand from the boy's shoulder and answered:

"High-grade magic artifacts and top-grade magic artifacts are used by those in the Qi Refining stage. After that, only Foundation Establishment cultivators can use spiritual artifacts."

"It is said that this kind of magical artifact possesses a spirit and can unleash its power independently to fight enemies."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanzhu nodded.

The two then chatted for a long time before the boy finally stopped asking questions.

He finished the tea in the pot, slowly rose, and clasped his hands in thanks:

"I am deeply grateful to the constable for clearing up my doubts."

"There's no need for that. You fight for the Divine Arrest Bureau, and I'll answer your questions. It's only right that we do this."

Zhang Yuanzhu straightened his back, his hand falling to rest on the hilt of his sword:

"Now that the matter is settled, I will leave for the time being. I will be heading to the east of the city as night falls."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, the boy turned around and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to cross the threshold, a woman's voice slowly drifted over:

"My name is Huang Jiu. May I ask how you should address me?"

"Little Snake Mountain—Zhang Bairen!"

He took a step, crossed the threshold, and disappeared into the house.

For a moment, only the woman remained seated, gazing at the open door.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a burly man clad in heavy armor approached, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed.

"Officer, that person has already left."

He paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but he still spoke:

"Does the constable really trust this man and let him participate in this bandit suppression? What if..."

Huang Jiu lowered her eyes, gazing at the jade cup in her hand, her expression serene:

"Zhang Bairen".

The woman murmured the name softly, her eyes filled with emotion.

"So he was Zhang Bairen!"

"This person is of excellent character and would never betray or divulge anything."

She had heard of this name during the demonic calamity that struck Jiao Yuan City, and knew a little about the other party's deeds, but had never seen the real person.

The burly, armored man beside him remained silent for a moment, then continued speaking:

"Miss, let's put Zhang Bairen's matter aside for now. Do we really want to wipe out the Bailong Society? That's your father..."

"Regardless of status or strength, wrong is wrong, and that cannot be changed."

Her voice gradually turned cold.

bang~

The jade cup in his palm exploded, turning into powder that slipped from his fingertips.

"By staying here, and even stationing most of the Divine Arrest Sect's experts at the City Lord's Mansion, who do you think I'm guarding against?"

The armored giant remained silent.

The young lady stayed here, and even summoned all the Divine Arresters recruited during this period, as well as the Divine Arresters experts sent by headquarters, to work here. He naturally knew her intentions.

But they are father and daughter, why did it have to come to this!

A thousand words in my heart turned into a soft sigh:

"Your subordinate understands. We will not let the bandits get away with it. The entire Bailong Society will be wiped out!"

The woman raised her arm and waved.

"Go down, don't overthink it. The Dragon Sacrifice will end, the bandits will be wiped out, and the chaotic land will usher in true order."

She spoke earnestly, enunciating each word carefully:

"This is the will of Heaven, unstoppable and unchangeable. I am saving him."

The armored man remained silent, slowly retreating and leaving the house.

"I believe you, Miss!"
