Opening it, there were many strange things in the bag. Disguising tools, clothes, evil spell techniques, and so on.
Among them were two yellowed books.
Zhou Jing picked up the book and flipped through it. Suddenly, his eyes flickered.
Of these two books, one was the “Secrets of Yin Yang Fusion”, and the other was the “Dark Valley Records”. They were both cultivation manuals from a sect called the “Dark Valley Sect”. They contained several types of spells, but not all of them were evil techniques. They were most likely the manuals practiced by Mei Zhanqing.
After taking a few glances, Zhou Jing put it away, planning to read it in detail in the future.
!!
He did not plan to cultivate the spell system of this world for the time being, but it was also a good thing to broaden his horizons.
In addition, no one in this world should be able to learn his elemental sorcerer system.
If he needed to nurture some people one day, these two secret manuals would be useful…
Not long after, the small boat returned to the docks. Zhou Jing carried Mei Zhanqing ashore.
At this moment, this place was already surrounded by people. When they saw Zhou Jing, they revealed shocked and terrified expressions and retreated, not daring to approach.
Most people only saw Zhou Jing cause the Azure Dragon to appear, but they did not know the cause and effect. They could not figure out Zhou Jing’s intentions, so they were naturally afraid.
Seeing everyone’s terrified expressions, Zhou Jing threw Mei Zhanqing down and placed his hands behind his back, before indifferently speaking,
“Everyone, don’t panic. I’m doing this to capture this demoness. It has nothing to do with you. This demoness wants to escape through ship, so I used some methods to force the ships back to port. Not long after, the scene of a dragon sucking in water will dissipate on its own.”
Hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved and started discussing.
At this moment, the deputy commander of the prison camp rushed over with his soldiers. He separated the people to maintain order and bowed to Zhou Jing in fear.
“The power of the Perfected One is profound. It’s really like an immortal descending to the mortal world. I’ve really broadened my horizons today.”
“Hmm,” Zhou Jing merely grunted noncommittally.
The Deputy Commander looked down at the unconscious Mei Zhanqing and asked curiously, “Is this the demon that the Perfected One wants to capture?”
“That’s right.” Zhou Jing nodded. He looked around and raised his voice, “This woman’s name is Mei Zhanqing. She possesses evil techniques and has killed more than ten people in the city. When she was pursued by me, in order to delay us, she used her spells wantonly. Many of you present have already been attacked by her. If you don’t treat her in time, you will definitely fall seriously ill, and your lives might even be in danger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people present went into another uproar.
They did not know much about Mei Zhanqing, and when they heard that they had also suffered from her tricks, they immediately became afraid of this demoness.
At this moment, Zhou Jing spoke again, “But everyone, don’t panic. I know how to exorcize evil. Come to me, I’ll naturally exorcize evil for you.”
“Thank you for saving me!” “Daoist is profound!”
Many citizens immediately bowed down in gratitude and praised him without hesitation.
Zhou Jing directly set up a temporary medical point at the docks and pointed out the citizens who had been invaded by the evil aura. He drove away the evil aura one by one, while the rest watched from the side. The guards at the dock had tied Mei Zhanqing up and were guarding at the side, not daring to leave.
After a while, Wei Zifu, the Ye Family, the Zhang Family, and the others finally arrived at West Gate Docks. This was the scene they saw.
Immediately after, their gazes were involuntarily attracted by the water tornado that was still wreaking havoc on the river. They were all stunned.
What kind of situation was this?
There was such weather in Ning Tian Prefecture?
Wei Zifu couldn’t care less about anything else and quickly squeezed into the crowd. When he saw Mei Zhanqing, who had been caught, and carefully verified her identity, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly went to Zhou Jing’s side and cupped his hands excitedly, “Thank you for your help, Perfected One. You’ve finally subdued this demon.”
“It was nothing.”
Zhou Jing nodded.
At this moment, the people from the Ye and Zhang families also heard the entire story from the commoners. They were left speechless as well.
Ye Shunzhong looked at the waterspout on the river in a daze and admiration.
Zhang Wentao subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Zhou Jing. He felt that this person was like a towering mountain. He no longer dared to have any thoughts of going against him, and his attitude became even more respectful.
Not long after, Zhou Jing finished exorcizing evil for the people at the docks. Under the grateful gratitude of the people, he returned to the city with Wei Zifu and the others.
The group did not delay. After Wei Zifu crippled Mei Zhanqing’s cultivation, he directly handed her over to the officials.
When Zhao Xing’an heard the report, he quickly held a trial and sentenced her to pay with her life for the crimes she had committed. He temporarily detained her and waited for the Justice Department to review and approve before executing her.
In addition, the government also issued a notice and posted it all over the city to carefully recount her crimes and explain the whole story.
In just two days, the rumors of “the demoness wreaking havoc in Ning Tian and the Perfected One being captured” had already spread throughout the city.
The commoners, who had never experienced it themselves, heard about this from word of mouth. They all pounded their chests and stomped their feet, feeling very regretful that they had missed such a strange thing.
However, at that time, West Gate Dock’s Azure Dragon Out of the Water image lasted for more than an hour. Even in the city, one could see it clearly, so it could not be fake. Many people witnessed such a wonder and were convinced of the matter.
The deeds of the “Azure Dragon Soars to the Sky” became another topic of conversation for the people of Ning Tian. This time, it was even more shocking than Zhou Jing’s previous deeds. Everyone who heard it was shocked.
There was even a rumor circulating in the city that this demoness, Mei Zhanqing, was a demon from the heavens. She was a female bat demon who had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court and avoided the lower realm, wanting to cause trouble. Perfected Master Windwalker was actually the Heavenly Lord Protector of the Immortal Thunder Division. He had descended to Ning Tian Prefecture from the Immortal Realm this time to capture this demoness.
