I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 795: A Great Demon Emerges

No one is born a thief, so that child naturally had an unhappy family and a miserable childhood.

At this moment, he belonged to a small gang in Weizhou Prefecture that specialized in petty theft, doing sneaky deeds daily, neither full nor starving.

What to do?

No way!

At least Yan Hongxia had no way, nor did Lu Zheng. It was only in modern times, with surveillance everywhere and everyone using mobile phones, that thieves were greatly diminished.

In ancient times?

Better just wash up and go to bed...

However, while saving on a large scale wasn't possible, it was still possible to save one person. This child appeared to be just about ten years old, not yet set in his ways, and could still be saved.

Knowing he hadn't eaten, Yan Hongxia tugged his ear and brought him back to the Li Family.

Upon returning to the Li Family, after listening to Yan Hongxia's explanation, the Li Family quickly found the child's single mother, hired her as a maid in the backyard, giving her a stable income.

The child, knowing gratitude, knelt on the ground furiously kowtowing, then cried uncontrollably in his mother's embrace.

...

In the afternoon, Yan Hongxia no longer had any interest in continuing to shop, so she returned to her room to cultivate in seclusion, while Lu Zheng and Shen Ying took a break in an empty tea pavilion in the backyard.

The Li Family served a pot of tea, which was a fine local variety. Although not as good as February Fragrance, it wasn't much inferior.

Lu Zheng took a sip, let out a content sigh, and with nothing better to do, took out the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror.

Shen Ying blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Lu Lang, what are you doing?"

"That man just now seemed strange, and I'm a bit bored, so I'll take a look."

"Which man?" Shen Ying asked.

Lu Zheng said, "The man whose purse was stolen."

"Him?" Shen Ying recalled, "What was strange about him?"

"Don't you think his expression was a bit fake when he realized his purse was stolen?"

"Ah? Really?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "For an acting moment that requires emotional outburst, he didn't perform well. His expression was artificial, slightly exaggerated. In fact, he already knew his purse was stolen."

"Really? I didn't notice."

Shen Ying, of course, trusted Lu Zheng and couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't he catch the child? Was it deliberate, knowing the child's difficult life, and voluntarily giving money?"

Before Lu Zheng could speak, Shen Ying shook her head, "Impossible. The purse contained quite a bit of Copper Coins. Even if he were kind enough to send money, he wouldn't give away his whole purse."

Lu Zheng nodded in agreement.

"This is strange..."

Shen Ying pondered with furrowed brows but couldn't figure out why, so she looked up and asked Lu Zheng, "Lu Lang, can you tell?"

Lu Zheng smiled, "I can't tell either. I just suspect he doesn't want to create too much commotion."

"Oh?" Shen Ying raised an eyebrow.

Lu Zheng had a friend who was a police officer, and he had heard a similar story before.

It was said that two undercover police officers were monitoring a target, not far from the target in a public place, and coincidentally, one of them caught a thief's eye.

As a result, to avoid alerting the target, the two police officers endured it and let the thief take one of their wallets, naturally pretending not to notice. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"He didn't want to create too much commotion; was he doing something shady or did he have issues with his identity that he couldn't let the authorities see?"

"I don't know!" Lu Zheng shrugged, "Isn't it just that we have nothing to do, so we might as well take a look?"

Saying this, he performed a spell, and the mirror surface of the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror began to reveal layers of clouds, which gradually dispersed to reveal the scene of Weizhou Prefecture.

Looking at the bird's-eye view in the mirror, Shen Ying asked Lu Zheng, "Weizhou is so large; how do you plan to find him?"

Lu Zheng smiled, flipped his palm, and a teacup lay in his hand—it was the same one the man used to drink tea at the teahouse that morning.

Shen Ying shook her head speechlessly, "You really are something, having prepared in advance."

Lu Zheng chuckled, "If he was planning something harmful, as a guardian of the Great Jing region, shouldn't you intervene?"

Shen Ying cast a charming glance, "I can only manage Peach Blossom Plain and its small territory."

Lu Zheng laughed heartily and executed a seal technique, extracting a wisp of Qi from the teacup and injecting it into the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror.

The next moment, the mirror surface moved accordingly and quickly shifted to the second floor of a restaurant.

This restaurant was, in fact, in the opposite direction of the Li Family Mansion.

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

But the next moment, Lu Zheng saw the man suddenly look at him, and he couldn't help feeling a tightness in his chest, his face turning pale.

At the same time, the mirror surface of the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror instantly blurred and was obscured by layers of clouds, making it impossible to see the man's face or location.

Then...

A faint but pure demonic Qi rose into the sky from a mile north of the Li Family Mansion.

"Heartless True Desire Demonic Qi!" Shen Ying exclaimed.

"It's even more intense than the Black Heart Demon's Qi who ambushed Yi Qingtian!" Lu Zheng's eyes widened, wondering if the true body of the Great Black Heaven Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor was here, and if he had caused trouble.

The next moment, the source of the demonic Qi flickered and then disappeared without a trace.

"Demon!"

"Where are you going, Demon!"

"Arrogant disciple of the Heartless True Desire Old Demon, how dare you act under the old beggar's nose?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Four distinctive voices rang out, and instantaneously, streaks of light flashed across the sky. The old beggar Liu Zong was the fastest, appearing in an instant mid-air.

His sharp eyes scanned the scene, then he let out a cold laugh and extended his right hand, raising it in a gesture.

"Boom!"

A bolt of Lesser Yang Divine Thunder struck from the clear sky, and in the middle of the air, where there had been nothing visible before, a ripple suddenly appeared, revealing a figure—it was the middle-aged man whose purse was stolen earlier.

In the next moment, Lin Yi, Zen Master Jin Ye, and Zen Master Xingfeng arrived simultaneously, surrounding him from four directions.

The middle-aged man's face turned black, sinister and twisted, glancing at the four of them, his eyes shimmering with pure blackness, then turned his attention toward the Li Family Mansion on the periphery.

...

In the Li Family Mansion, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying floated in the air in the backyard, watching from afar. When they saw the man look over, both of them couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Ao Qi and Yan Hongxia also floated up, joining Lu Zheng and Shen Ying and watching together.

Yan Hongxia saw the man's appearance and gasped, "It's him?"

Ao Qi blinked, "Who is it?"

Yan Hongxia was stunned, "Wasn't this guy the one who had his purse stolen in the morning? He was possessed by a demon in the afternoon?"

Lu Zheng turned his head, "Haven't you considered that he might have been possessed since the morning?"

Yan Hongxia was dumbfounded at the words, "Ah?"

...

"Amitabha Buddha! Such profound demonic Qi!"

Zen Master Jin Ye proclaimed the Buddha's name, his eyes flashing with golden light, "When the Great Black Heaven Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor fled the Central Plains, he took his four disciples. If the old monk's senses are correct, you must be the Profound Heart Demon?"

"So what if I am?"

The Profound Heart Demon with the appearance of the middle-aged man coldly replied, "This time you're lucky, but next time, you won't be so fortunate!"

Liu Zong chuckled at the words, "You think there will be a next time?"

Simultaneously, Lin Yi pointed his finger, and a golden light flew from his sleeve, instantly transforming into a three-foot-long sword.

This sword was different from an ordinary flying sword, with a sword blade and hilt, Pure Yang Qi permeating heaven and earth, enveloping all directions, and it shot unerringly towards the Profound Heart Demon's chest.
