Long Xiao retreated from the graveyard, picked up the yellow talisman paper placed on the ground, and began to draw talismans rapidly. Every time he drew a talisman, he had Xiao Ming throw the spiritual talisman into the fire.
Hit multiple times by the energies drawn out by the spiritual talismans, the malevolent energy within the two ghoul corpses rapidly diminished. Just as Long Xiao was about to run out of yellow talisman paper, the two ghoul corpses finally ignited.
The conflagration illuminated the night sky, and soon police sirens wailed. Long Xiao and Xiao Ming hastily bid farewell to the villagers and left.
As soon as the two drove away from the village, two police cars stopped nearby, and several officers ran towards the burning graveyard.
On the road, as Long Xiao and the others reached the outskirts of the city, intending to wait for Zhang Minlan and the others, they received a call from Zhang Minlan.
"Xiao Ming, something has happened here. Hurry up and come help us."
Zhang Minlan's voice was extremely flustered, clearly indicating they had encountered a situation they couldn't handle.
Without time to ask further questions, Xiao Ming told Long Xiao to drive the car and go to pick up Zhang Minlan and the others.
The Zhang family was a family of mystical arts practitioners. A situation that three Zhang family members couldn't handle must be extremely serious.
Long Xiao drove, while Xiao Ming inquired about the situation. They soon learned that the three of them were surrounded by over twenty police officers. Since they couldn't harm the officers, they didn't know how to proceed.
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "Didn't you tell them you're from the Zhang family?"
"We did. No matter what we said, they insisted on arresting us."
"Just kill them. It's only twenty-odd people; you can finish them in less than half an hour."
"Xiao Ming, how can you say that? These police officers are here to uphold law and order. My grandfather doesn't allow us to kill police officers."
"Minlan sister, don't worry, we'll be there soon."
In less than half an hour, Long Xiao's car stopped at the edge of the village. Five police cars were parked on the road, and there were lights in the distance, suggesting a large number of people.
Long Xiao and Xiao Ming got out of the car and walked towards the crowd in the distance. As they approached, they were stopped by two police officers.
Long Xiao domineeringly pushed the two officers aside and said, "We are from the Heavenly Dragon Guard. Intel indicates the appearance of ghouls here."
The two police officers were stunned upon hearing "Heavenly Dragon Guard." They had never heard of such an organization in China.
While the two officers were unsure whether to stop them further, Long Xiao and Xiao Ming had already walked towards Zhang Minlan and the others.
The leading police officer, seeing two more people arrive, shouted loudly, "What are you all doing? Why are more people coming?"
Long Xiao walked up to the leading officer, raised his hand, and slapped him. "You dare to stop me? You dare to obstruct us, the Heavenly Dragon Guard, from carrying out our investigation?"
"Heavenly Dragon Guard, what does the Heavenly Dragon Guard do?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You've been researching for so long, don't you know what kind of organization the Heavenly Dragon Guard is?"
"Do you know who I am?"
Long Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Of course, I know. Ghouls must be eliminated. If you dare to obstruct me again, I'll kill you too."
Long Xiao's domineering attitude shocked all the police officers.
None of them knew what the Heavenly Dragon Guard was, but they all knew that their leader had been slapped by Long Xiao, and their leader hadn't dared to retaliate.
While the leading officer was contemplating whether Long Xiao was a genuine member of the Heavenly Dragon Guard or a fake, Long Xiao had already walked to Zhang Minlan's side and was directing a few villagers to continue digging up the graves.
As the grave was about to be unearthed, the leading police officer drew his gun and pointed it at Long Xiao, shouting, "Stop, or I'll shoot!"
Using the 'Chimei Xiaoyao Step', the police officers couldn't even see Long Xiao's movements clearly. The leading officer's strength was not low; although he could see Long Xiao's movements, he couldn't evade them.
His grip loosened, and the gun in his hand was now in Long Xiao's. Just as he retreated a couple of steps, Long Xiao kicked him in the stomach.
The leading officer was sent flying, landing on the ground. Long Xiao pointed at the fallen officer and shouted, "Handcuff him!"
All the police officers, guns in hand, looked at Long Xiao in panic, unsure who to deal with.
The leading officer rolled more than ten meters on the ground, then sprang up and turned to run.
Long Xiao threw the gun on the ground and said, "Xiao Ming, bring him back."
Xiao Ming chased after the fleeing officer, while Long Xiao looked at the villagers who had stopped their work and said, "Hurry up and dig. You'll understand when you dig it open."
After the grave was dug open and the coffin was revealed, all the police officers crowded around. One officer exclaimed in shock, "How is it him? Isn't this the person who went missing a few days ago?"
Long Xiao pointed to another fresh grave and said, "Dig that one open too."
The second fresh grave was also dug open, revealing another person who had gone missing a few days ago. All the police officers were even more confused.
Soon, Xiao Ming returned, dragging the escaped officer with him. The man was beaten black and blue, his head resembling a pig's snout.
Xiao Ming threw the leading officer on the ground and asked, "Brother, how should we handle him?"
Long Xiao pointed at the bruised and battered officer on the ground and said, "This guy is not Chinese. Hand him over to the local police, and they can report it to the relevant authorities."
The bodies exhumed from the two new graves, though they carried some malevolent energy, were not particularly potent, so Long Xiao did not order them to be burned.
Watching Long Xiao's operation, the three Zhang siblings were dumbfounded. None of them had expected things could be handled this way.
Now, all the police officers believed that Long Xiao was a special operative of the Heavenly Dragon Guard. They began preparing to take the two bodies back as evidence for the case.
Long Xiao subtly nudged Zhang Minlan, who was examining the bodies, along with the Zhang brothers. The three of them quickly retreated with him. By the time the police officers finished and looked for Long Xiao and the others, they were already in the car.
Zhang Minlan got into Long Xiao's car again. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Long Xiao and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you really from the Heavenly Dragon Guard?"
Long Xiao asked without looking back, "What does the Heavenly Dragon Guard do?"
"You said you were from the Heavenly Dragon Guard, so how do you not even know what they do?"
"Girl, are you stupid? I just made up a name to fool those police officers. You actually believed it." Long Xiao said with a chuckle.
Zhang Minlan looked at Long Xiao with a dejected expression and asked, "You really don't know what the Heavenly Dragon Guard does?"
"Of course not. Is there really such an organization?"
Zhang Minlan nodded and said, "Of course there is. The Heavenly Dragon Guard is one of the Five Dragon Guards of the Long family. Its members are primarily from the Long family, and their mission is to maintain national security."
"Don't joke! I casually made up a name and there's actually such an organization. I can't impersonate someone from the Heavenly Dragon Guard next time. If they find out, I'll be in big trouble."
"Naturally. The Heavenly Dragon Guard is very mysterious; very few people have seen their members, but the Heavenly Dragon Guard is everywhere," Zhang Minlan said.
Upon returning to the city, Long Xiao drove Xiao Ming directly to the entrance of the Zhao family villa, asking him to go in and get some documents, while he and Zhang Minlan waited in the car.
