At 8:53 a.m., the investigation department's vehicle arrived at Longxing Temple.

At this time, all the tourists who came to offer incense and most of the monks were dispersed to a distance of 300 meters from the temple.

As several cars entered the temple in an orderly fashion, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

Why were they suddenly kicked people out?

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"It's probably due to an archaeological discovery."

"If it's archaeology, then it's archaeology. Why are you kicking people out? My child is about to take the college entrance exam, and I still need to burn incense and pray!"

The guards showed no expression as they listened to their chatter and complaints; they simply stood ramrod straight and used the yellow tape to block everyone from entering.

At the same time, Du Wang and Cheng Huo got off the van and arrived at the side gate of Longxing Temple.

Temples typically have three doors, with the one in the very center called the "empty door," which is used by monks or during major religious ceremonies and is not opened at other times.

Ordinary worshippers use the side entrances.

However, both side gates of Longxing Temple were tightly closed at the moment, and there was not even a monk to greet anyone, as if they did not intend to let anyone in.

"Strange, why aren't they opening the door? Do they expect us to jump over the wall to get in?" Cheng Huo asked, his face full of surprise.

Du Wang pressed the call button on his headset: "Wang Di, please inform the people at Longxing Temple for us."

Wang Di replied with a puzzled tone, "I have already notified them through official channels, but they have not responded at all."

"Um?"

Du Wang and Cheng Huo exchanged a glance and simultaneously realized that something was wrong.

Cheng Huo glanced at his watch: "There are only 5 minutes left. If we are not prepared before the demons descend, we will not be responsible for any accidents that happen."

Wang Di said, "Don't worry, I'm reporting this to my superiors, and we'll get a reply soon."

Just then, the side door suddenly creaked.

Then, a middle-aged bald monk wearing a yellowish-brown robe appeared in front of the two.

"You must be the team members sent by the investigation department."

He was broad and stout, with a smiling face, and looked very kind and gentle.

Du Wangdao said, "That's right, Master, who are you?"

The monk introduced himself: "I am the abbot of Longxing Temple, and my Dharma name is Yongfang."

During the Yuan Dynasty, Zen Master Xueting Fuyu established a seventy-character generational naming system for the Shaolin Caodong lineage. Among them, the character "Yong" belongs to the 33rd generation, the same generation as the current abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Since the other party could mention the Investigation Department, they must be someone who knows the inside story of the arrival.

Therefore, Du Wang speaks very directly:

"Master Yongfang, please leave the temple as soon as possible. Leave the matter to us."

Unexpectedly, Master Yongfang shook his head: "No rush, no rush, come in with me first."

Du and Wang, unaware of his secret, carried the weapon case into the temple.

Longxing Temple was deserted, with no one in sight, only ancient trees surrounding it and layers of halls and pavilions.

Master Yongfang led them into a teahouse, and after they sat down, he patiently poured them a cup of tea.

Cheng Huo was looking at his watch anxiously.

"Master Yongfang, why don't you leave first? This matter is rather urgent, we don't have time for tea."

"Haha." Master Yongfang sat in his chair and laughed, "Do you all think I don't understand the descent incident? Don't you know the dangers of demons?"

Hearing this, Du Wang and his companion were even more puzzled.

Cheng Huo said, "Since you know the dangers of demons, why did you bring us here? Do you think demons will descend from here?"

"No," Master Yongfang explained, "Demons can descend anywhere, but they could never appear here."

Du Wang raised his eyebrows, vaguely sensing the other party's meaning.

"You mean we don't need to handle it?"

Master Yongfang nodded approvingly: "You two young brothers can rest here."

Now both of them realized that Longxing Temple had obviously made preparations in advance.

Cheng Huo frowned and said, "Handling the arrival incident is the task of the Investigation Department; you cannot stop us."

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Master Yongfang explained, "Our temple has cooperated with the Investigation Department a lot. Hengchong is also an unofficial member of Mobile Team 2, so he is naturally familiar with your regulations."

"However, since this demon has appeared at Longxing Temple, it's natural that our temple has the priority to handle it, wouldn't you agree?"

Seeing the other person's smiling face, Du Wang understood completely that he and his companion had been turned away.

Longxing Temple has its own superhumans who intend to deal with this demon alone and take the relics.

So he calmly said, "I need to ask for instructions."

Master Yongfang nodded: "No problem, I have already spoken with your superiors. This small matter can be handled by our temple."

Du Wang pressed the earpiece: "Wang Di, did you hear that?"

Wang Di replied, "I heard you, I'm communicating with my supervisor."

A few seconds later, she continued, "Your superiors have ordered you to halt operations and remain where you are."

"Does Captain Chen know about this?"

"Team Leader Chen...she probably doesn't know that this was an order personally given by headquarters."

The investigation department is not a monolithic entity.

The organization is divided into four departments: the Command Center, the Intelligence Analysis Center, the Operations Center, and the Research Center.

Wang Di belongs to the intelligence analysis department and is responsible for logistics.

Du Wang and Cheng Huo's mobile team belonged to the Operations Department and was responsible for carrying out their work.

Although the Operations Department has the most superhumans and the greatest authority, they can act freely and without restraint most of the time.

But that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

Obeying orders during missions is clearly stated in the manual, and any violation will be severely punished, even by Captain Chen.

Out of a sense of duty, Du Wang decided to give the other party one last reminder.

"Master Yongfang, I must remind you of something. Demons are not human; their behavior and abilities do not follow our predictions. If something unexpected happens, it could cause irreparable damage."

"If you agree, we can assist you from the sidelines to prevent the demons from escaping."

Master Yongfang said confidently, "Don't worry, we've thought of everything more thoroughly than the Investigation Department."

"Heng Chong is already at level 2, and he has two level 1 junior brothers with him. With the combined strength of the three of them, this demon cannot escape."

"They are also more familiar with the temple and know how to protect the Buddha statues from damage."

Cheng Huo curled his lip, thinking that the other party was mocking the Investigation Department for not considering things thoroughly and only sending two Tier 1 superhumans.

In reality, wild superhumans and official superhumans are not comparable at all.

After all, wild superhumans wouldn't deal with demonic descents so frequently, much less challenge dangerous ghost realms with a death wish.

Whether in terms of experience or mentality, official superhumans can crush ordinary wild superhumans.

Moreover, despite the fact that the two of them are at level 1, in Cheng Huo's mind, he is only one step away from being promoted, and can be considered half a level 2.

Old Du possesses three abilities, making him stronger than a typical Tier 2 player.

The two of them are perfect for dealing with the powerful demon.

If it were any other Tier 1 transcendent being, tsk, I wonder how much of their strength they could muster against someone several times more terrifying than the treacherous man.

Judging from Master Yongfang's expression, the other party seemed to take the Li-level demons completely insignificant.

Thinking this, Cheng Huo suddenly couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and had to cover it with his hand.

Master Yongfang glanced at the reddish-brown-haired youth and could tell that the other party was clearly gloating.

Is it...

There's no problem.

Master Yongfang shook his head inwardly. One Tier 2 Transcendent with two Tier 1 Transcendents was clearly stronger than the two opponents.

Sending them here from the investigation department is practically playing with the safety of Longxing Temple.

He raised his wrist.

Time quietly slipped to 9:01.

Demons have descended.
