Just as Tang Chao leapt into the maple forest with Tang Jing on his back, two figures suddenly descended from the sky, blocking his way midair.

Immediately, Tang Chao's movements retreated, bringing him back to his original position. The two figures followed closely and landed about five meters to the left and right of Tang Chao and Tang Jing.

"Young man, impressive Qinggong skills!" said the man standing on the left side in front of Tang Chao and Tang Jing. He was thin and gaunt, and his voice had a strange intonation, sounding rather effeminate.

Tang Chao's expression turned solemn; just by observing the Qinggong skills of the two men before him, he knew that his martial arts and inner strength were far inferior to theirs.

"Who are you?" Tang Jing asked with a frown. In contrast to Tang Chao, because she was unaware of the depth of the two men's inner strength, she appeared much more composed. "Are you with Wang Chuan?"

"Hmph!" The man standing on the right, his eyes squinting with a strange light and his grim face full of murderous intent, took two steps forward toward Tang Chao and Tang Jing. His walk was a limp. He said coldly, "I'm afraid you'll have to come with us—don't force us to make a move!"

After he spoke, a strong aura suddenly formed around the man. To Tang Chao, also a martial artist, this aura seemed to be spinning, twisting and distorting the air around him.

His inner strength was immeasurable! Astonishment gripped Tang Chao's heart as he stared, agape.

It was only after the man had seized his arm that Tang Chao snapped back to reality. He turned to look at Tang Jing, who was held by the shoulder by the effeminate man and was struggling to break free. Tang Chao frowned and shook his head repeatedly, pleading with Tang Jing to stop resisting to avoid greater pain.

Understanding Tang Chao's gaze, Tang Jing suddenly stopped resisting, her face etched with confusion. But she knew that if there weren't any chances of winning, her brother Tang Chao would not yield to others without any resistance.

Five minutes later, the two were brought to the middle of the maple forest.

By this time, the maple trees and grass in the center of the forest had been uprooted to create a circular formation with a diameter of ten meters, sprinkled with a layer of white glutinous rice. Under the crimson moonlight, the originally pearl-white rice took on a faint red hue.

Around the perimeter of the circle, incense and red candles were inserted everywhere, making the area smoky and the air filled with a thick scent of burning incense. Moreover, yellow talismans inscribed with dog and black chicken blood hung from the maple trees.

"Are you planning to activate some ancient forbidden array?" Tang Jing inquired.

"Exactly!" The effeminate man sneered, his laugh sharp like that of a woman.

At that moment, Wang Chuan suddenly appeared from behind a nearby maple tree and approached the group.

The limping man holding Tang Chao's arm looked at Wang Chuan and said, "We've just caught these two, this young man has quite the Qinggong skills!"

Wang Chuan merely glanced over Tang Chao and Tang Jing with an expressionless face and said coldly, "Take them over."

"Yes!" the two men nodded.

Half a minute later, they brought Tang Jing and Tang Chao in front of an RV on the east side of the circle. Near the RV, a fire burned, and beyond the fire, to the north in the dim forest, there was a cage.

As they passed the raging fire, they heard Ren Deshan's voice coming from the cage, "Tang Chao, Tang Jing!"

Hearing his voice, Tang Chao and Tang Jing were startled. As they approached the cage, they were shocked to find that, in addition to Ren Deshan, the cage also held Xie Da, Xie Xiaofeng, Liu Yongping, and several other Onmyoji, along with two police officers in uniform.

After Tang Jing and Tang Chao entered the cage, Ren Deshan immediately came up to them and asked, "How did you two get here too?"

"Chen Hao phoned us to come here," Tang Jing explained, filled with worry in her voice. "He is on his way back now, probably an hour away from getting here."

"So, does this mean President Chen already knows about Wang Chuan's conspiracy?" Ren Deshan's face showed a hint of surprise. However, his joyous expression quickly faded when he glanced at his watch. "Sigh, it's already six thirty-five, and Wang Chuan will activate the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation at seven. I wonder if President Chen will get here in time. And even if..."

Ren Deshan looked towards the two figures gradually disappearing in the firelight and sighed, "And even then, their martial arts are so formidable. No matter how strong President Chen is, he's still just an Onmyoji who exorcises spirits and demons. I'm afraid he might not be able to handle those two."

"Well," Tang Jing was skeptical, not quite agreeing with Ren Deshan. She thought to herself that Chen Hao had an undying body, and his left eye possessed a powerful enchanting force. He might not be as agile as those two, but he would definitely have a one hundred percent chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

Just as Xie Xiaofeng had said, Chen Hao is like a cheating existence to everyone!

Thinking of Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing urgently asked, "By the way, have you seen Xie Xiaofeng?"

"My brother's over there!" Xie Xiaoluan, who was sitting on the grass, spoke up, his eyes fixed on the circular formation. In the darkness of night, his eyes were flickering with bright red anger. "Not long ago, my brother absorbed the mana from a Five Elements Stone. So Wang Chuan wants to take all the Five Elements Magic within him to activate the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation."

Tang Jing was shocked and at a loss for words.

After a pause, Xie Xiaoluan suddenly asked, "Will Chen Hao be able to make it back in time?"

"Yes!" Tang Jing replied firmly.

"And will he be able to stop all of this?"

"Of course!" Tang Jing still answered firmly, and this time, Tang Chao echoed her sentiment.

Xie Xiaoluan chuckled softly, then asked again, "Why are you both so sure?"

"Because he's Chen Hao." Tang Jing's voice grew firmer with each word. After speaking, she lifted her head to gaze at the blood-red moon. Two seconds later, as if she saw the outline of Chen Hao's face on the moon, she continued inwardly, "The omnipotent Chen Hao who brings hope to people!"

At this very moment, Chen Hao, who was racing back to downtown Y City in a car, suddenly sneezed and then joked to himself, "They say a sneeze means someone is thinking of you. I wonder who's thinking about me now?"

After saying this, Chen Hao shook Ye Yuqiao, who was resting with her eyes closed on his shoulder, and asked softly into her ear, "Your Majesty the Queen, are you thinking about me?"

Long after, Ye Yuqiao didn't respond, still feeling a bit angry about the earlier unpleasantness.

"Your Majesty the Queen, if you ignore me any longer, my heart will break, and then you'll have to remember to use glue to fix it!"

Finally, Ye Yuqiao gave a light hum and muttered, "Mischievous, annoying! Do you realize what you did wrong?"

"Yes, yes!" Chen Hao nodded repeatedly and then reached out to curl his hand around Ye Yuqiao's slender, delicate waist. "I know I was wrong."

After seven o'clock.

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "You bastard, use Nether Vision to look towards the east of Y City, see if you can spot anything unusual?"

"Right, I can see that far!" Chen Hao thought to himself in surprise. At once, he utilized the Nether Vision Technique, looking towards the eastern outskirts of Y City.

A minute later, Chen Hao's vision finally pierced through the mountains, forests, rivers, and the city, to the outskirts of Y City's maple woods.

Instantly, his face was one of sheer astonishment. Above the maple woods, he saw the legendary and extremely rare Onmyoji sky!
