In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"I can see it, Senior. I knew it when I was fighting Chloe."

Shinobu let out a bitter laugh: "If Chloe really wanted to knock us out, she wouldn't have said so much to us, nor would she have just slashed us once."

"Hey, my Chloe's gentleness is very valuable."

"Senior! Even if you come, what I want to say is the same. Kanao and I are going to save my sister. Even if you try to stop me, we will go secretly."

"I didn't intend to stop you."

"senior."

"It's useless for me to stop you. If you wake up early and run in like a fool, the danger will be even greater."

It is better to bring him in directly than to have him wake up at some unknown time and then run into the battlefield to cause trouble. This is what Ouyang Xuan said based on his experience.

"Kanao and I will not hold you back! After your training, we are much stronger than before. I have also started to combine the poison techniques and swordsmanship you taught me. I will definitely be able to help you and rescue my sister together."

Kanao threw the coin and only spoke after seeing the heads on it, "We have become stronger and can rescue Sister Kanae."

"Not enough, your strength is not enough."

Ouyang Xuan didn't think that just such a short period of body training could bring about any complete transformation for the two of them.

"Yeah yeah."

Chloe nodded in agreement.

"Chloe, you go with them both, we'll split up into two groups."

"what?"

Chloe wants to fight alongside Ouyang Sun.

"I found this after you left."

In Ouyang Xuan's hand, a lifelike clay mouse appeared. It was the messenger mouse made by Lei Zi in the wine cellar.

"This is the familiar that Ruiko sent out to deliver the message. I also learned about Kanae's situation from him."

"Oh, that's right. When big brother came, he only saw Shinobu being beaten by me, but he knew about Kanae."

Chloe suddenly realized.

"They are now imprisoned in the wine cellar under the mansion. Kanae is seriously injured and must receive treatment as soon as possible. The minister Fujiwara Daichi, who was taken away by the ghost, is also in there."

"Yeah, so what's Big Brother going to do?"

"I will deal with the person with the biggest mana reaction. He should be the founder of this cult. You go underground to rescue Kanae and Ruiko."

"Chloe, you don't know how to use healing magic, and Ruizi's healing magic is not effective enough. After rescuing Chanae, you can use this to heal Chanae."

Ouyang Sun handed Chloe an octagonal talisman carved with a lifelike horse head.

"I'll use the Tongtian Scroll to seal in some horse charms. You can use it to heal Chanae's injuries, and then take them out of the mansion immediately."

"Once we get them to a safe place, I'll come back and help big brother beat up that charlatan."

Ren also wanted to say that he also wanted to help Ouyang Xuan fight, but when he thought about his own fighting ability, he could only suppress this idea in his heart. He was still too weak now. After this incident was over, he would train harder and harder to become stronger.

Kanao has the same idea as Shinobu. Behind her pair of cold, robot-like eyes, there is a desire to become stronger.

After putting on a layer of Ouyang Xuan's stealth spell, Chloe climbed over the wall with Shinobu and Kanao and sneaked into the mansion. At this time, Chloe couldn't help but sigh that Ouyang Xuan knew so many spells, including attack, defense, exploration and stealth.

Chapter 34: Riri Saotome is an absolutely dangerous person.

Infiltration is not a fight, and most of the people in the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult are ordinary people. Chloe took Shinobu and Kanao as easily as going home. In addition, Ouyang Falcon's magic was really powerful. Even if he stood in front of these believers and danced, they would not react at all. The only difficulty was how to find the basement where Ruiko and Kanao were imprisoned.

"Chloe, running around like a headless chicken isn't a good idea."

"This isn't a scenic spot. There's no floor plan. Where would the basement be in such a large place?"

"Basements are usually used to store sundries or supplies. According to the typical house design on island countries, a small house would be built in the yard to serve as a storage room. If it's a basement, that's probably where it would be."

"That thing, oh no."

Chloe continued, "My older brother and I saw this during our initial reconnaissance. This yard is empty, just sand and stones. There aren't any of those little houses that island nations use as storage rooms."

The small storage rooms that often appear in animated films on the island country are nowhere to be seen here, otherwise there would be no need to wander around. Maybe Ouyang Shun has gone to find Douma and kill him, and Chloe is still taking Shinobu and Kanao to wander around the mansion.

Kanao pulled Shinobu and Chloe, and they walked side by side in front, with Kanao walking behind. While they were talking, they didn't notice several believers coming around the corner. Kanao pulled them and pulled them aside to avoid bumping into the believers. Ouyang Sun's magic could make them undetectable, but it couldn't eliminate the collision volume. After all, Ouyang Sun was not a potato seller.

"This rich man has so much good wine downstairs in his house, but he doesn't even drink it. He makes us run out to buy it."

"The Patriarch is being considerate of his followers. Although this follower is a famous wine merchant and wealthy man in Tokyo, this mansion is only loaned to us temporarily and has not yet been donated to the sect, so the wine inside cannot be touched."

"This wine cellar was still usable before Nora came back, so why didn't we drink the wine after he came back? I think that guy must have seen the wine cellar full of good wine and wanted to monopolize it. He bewitched the Patriarch and told him to not let us drink it and let him drink it all."

"Takuchi! You are not allowed to criticize any decision of the Patriarch! How did you learn the teachings? Do you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"Master, please calm down. I was just talking nonsense. It was unintentional."

"Hmph, it seems your understanding of the doctrine is not deep enough. You don't need to come to our evening class later. Go back to your dormitory."

"Master, no, I... am the Master..."

It was like finding something without any effort after searching for it everywhere. Chloe and Shinobu had never expected that the information they had been looking for for a long time would suddenly come to them. If several people had acted together, it would have been difficult to arrest the person and ask for the information. The priest was kind enough to send one person away. It was really easy to get it without any effort.

After looking at each other, Chloe and Shinobu understood each other's idea. They wanted to catch the guy named Taguchi and squeeze some information out of him. As for whether to kill him after the information was squeezed out, it depended on whether the guy named Taguchi was sensible. If Shinobu and Kanao couldn't do it, Chloe would do it themselves.

Chloe thinks she is cute and adorable, but when it comes to taking action, she is very ruthless.

"If I can't hear the Patriarch's sermon, I won't be able to have a sweet dream tonight. Damn it, damn it, there's not even any alcohol in this place. If it weren't for the fact that I could dream about Mieko tonight, I wouldn't have come to this damn place."

A member of the sect named Taguchi, like the students of Sobu High School, has no interest in any religious morality at all. He joined the Eternal Paradise Sect just to be able to have immoral dreams with the goddess of his dreams.

As he walked towards the dormitory cursing, Taguchi didn't notice the small figure following him at all, until he passed by a room with an open door and no lights, and a small hand stretched out from the room, grabbed Taguchi's collar and pulled him in.

"What? What happened?!"

Suddenly, the world spun around, and Taguchi felt his vision go dark before his eyes. He was pushed face down to the ground, and he screamed subconsciously.

"Hey bro, I advise you not to make too much noise, or you'll lose your kidneys."

Chloe lowered her voice as the sharp tip of the knife cut through Taguchi's clothes and skin.

"This is the headquarters of the Eternal Paradise Cult. There are many of our people here. I'm warning you—"

"I'll just kill you and run away. Even if I get caught, you'll be dead, so shut up right now."

As a gangster who had seen blood and been to the dragon field, Taguchi knew that Chloe, who was pressing his head from behind and had already inserted a knife into his body, was ready to give his kidneys a chill at any time, and he was not lying.

No, I just said a few tough words according to the rules of the underworld. You should have persuaded me first and then threatened me with a knife. Why did you just use the knife directly?

"Uncle and sister, you, just ask whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything I know, but I'm just a small fry. I don't know anything important."

Taguchi wanted to cry. Why was he so unlucky?

"Where is that wine cellar you're talking about?"

"Wine cellar? It's in the house on the west side with the red painted door. Open the door and you'll see the entrance to the wine cellar."

"Didn't you lie to me?"

"No, no, that wine cellar was originally built in European architectural style. After that local tycoon took over, he simply covered it with a Japanese-style shell to make it look better. You'll see the incongruity when you get closer."

"I'm sorry you don't dare to lie to me."

"Don't dare, don't dare, look, I've told you everything you know, so you think it's time to let me go."

"Let you go? When did I ever say I would let you go?"

Hidden in the darkness, a hint of adorable confusion flashed across Chloe's cute face.

I didn't even say that. Why is this person misinterpreting what I said?

"You, you can't ignore the rules of the Tao. I've explained everything clearly. You can't kill me!"

"I'm not from your gang, why should I follow your rules?"

What Chloe said made sense, but Taguchi was not convinced. However, he had no way to appeal or refute. Chloe used the techniques that she had not used on Shinobu and Kanao on him. With a fierce blow from the blade, Taguchi's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Chloe tied him up, gagged him, and stuffed him into the closet. The whole process was smooth and fluid, leaving Shinobu and Kanao stunned.

"Do you, do this kind of thing often, Chloe?"

"This kind? Kidnapping someone?"

Chloe wondered.

"Before, I would just chop him to death without taking him captive. But this guy is a human being. I can't just kill him casually. Otherwise, Big Brother will be angry and spank me."

"There's still a huge gap between me and Chloe."

"Of course I am, because I—"

Chloe confidently pointed at herself with her thumb and said, "I am deeply trusted by Big Brother. I belong only to him as his Servant. Big Brother's essence still flows in my body."

"Chloe, are you also Senpai's lover?"

"Not yet, but it will be soon. I am very confident that I can defeat Big Brother. Then I can replenish my magic from Big Brother every night."

Although Chloe looks very confident, she seems unreliable no matter how you look at her. Judging from Ouyang Xuan's attitude towards Chloe, it seems that he does not regard Chloe as a woman.

It seems that the senior doesn't regard you, Chloe, as a person of the opposite sex who can date, but just as a younger sister. Shinobu didn't say this.

Since she had already asked about the location of the wine cellar, there was no need to delay any longer. Chloe didn't know what the progress was on Ouyang Sun's side, so she could only focus on her own work. After finishing her work, she would rescue Ruiko and Kanae, and then come back to help Ouyang Sun beat Douma.

Knowing the location made the rest of the things much easier. After Chloe and the other two arrived, they simply pried the lock and entered. Just like Taguchi said, once the door was opened, they could see the entrance to the underground wine cellar, because this Japanese-style building on the surface was really just a disguised shell. After opening the wooden and paper-pasted door, what came into view was a reinforced concrete entrance.

"The arrangement of this thing is really messed up. They're going to hide the entrance. Why not just make an island-style entrance? This feels too awkward."

It's no wonder Chloe complained. This ancient-style building hides the entrance to a modern reinforced concrete building. It's as incongruous as opening a treasure chest only to find out that it's actually a treasure chest monster. It would be fine if it was just a treasure chest monster, but this treasure chest monster was designed by someone named Miyazaki.

It was just an ordinary door lock, and Chloe could chop it apart with just one move of her knife. Moreover, because the speed was too fast and the knife was too sharp, there was not even the sound of the lock being cut open. However, if a loud noise was made in an empty room, it could be heard from far away.

Ouyang Jun can locate the basement wine cellar where Ruiko and Kanae are imprisoned based on the magic fluctuations emitted by the barrier, but he only knows where the wine cellar is and doesn't know which way to get there. If it were MC, he could open it directly from the top, but unfortunately, doing so in the real world is not cost-effective and is easy to be discovered, so he can only let Chloe take Kanae and Shinobu to find a way.

When you push open the door to the basement, what comes into view is a bright but winding staircase leading downwards. After all, this is not a horror movie, and whose way to the basement would be a dark tunnel with only a few lights? Aren't you afraid of falling to death?

"Once we go down there, we might encounter enemies at any time. You two should be prepared."

"We are ready. If we encounter an evil spirit, we will use his blood to test what we have learned from our predecessors."

"That's the kind of aura you need. You've been studying under Big Brother for so long, you're considered half his apprentices. Don't embarrass him."

"Absolutely not!"

Shinobu said with great momentum.

Chloe, as the most powerful among the three, walked in the front and took the lead. Shinobu and Kanao drew their swords and followed behind Chloe. Compared to Chloe who was strolling leisurely, Shinobu and Kanao seemed much more nervous. No matter how harsh their words were, Shinobu and Kanao lacked practical experience. Practical experience, which is forged between life and death, cannot be replaced by daily training.

Holding two swords, Chloe walked up the stairs seemingly without any preparation, but in fact her own magic power had been released to act as a radar. She didn't know this skill originally, but she saw Ouyang Falcon using magic power as a radar to search for enemies, and she thought this skill was useful, so she learned it from Ouyang Falcon.

In Chloe's spiritual vision, at the end of the winding stairs, a spherical barrier was particularly conspicuous in her spiritual vision. Although Chloe could not know the specific situation inside the barrier because of the barrier, she could guess what was inside at this time.

"Block? Even though my sister is stronger than us and is a swordsman who has mastered the breathing technique, the breathing technique is only a form of art after all. How could she actually use a barrier to trap my sister?"

Shinobu asked doubtfully.

After studying with Ouyang Falcon for a while, Shinobu also realized that simple breathing techniques were indeed not very effective in the face of those spells that could summon wind and rain, and that breathing techniques that only focused on magic could hardly threaten and effectively attack spells. Shinobu had experienced this firsthand. During his study and practice with Ouyang Falcon, Ouyang Falcon had also shown Shinobu and Kanao spells such as barriers, but the two of them tried their best but couldn't shake them at all, and the edges of their practiced swords were even curled up.

"If it's used to trap Ruiko, even though the magic and magic power she's learned aren't great, she's learning Lulutia's magic. She's only a level 10 novice magician who hasn't yet changed her job, but the magic power fluctuations look like she's at level 30. Lulutia's magic is incredibly effective for show, so I have to find a way to learn some from Ruiko."

"Is that young lady named Leizi such a big threat to them?"

After listening to what Chloe said, Shinobu thought that Ruizi was some great magician who held the sun and the moon in her hands.

"No, most of what Ruizi learned is very basic life magic. It's not that it can't be used in battle, but the effect will definitely be worse."

"If that's the case, they're so afraid of Ms. Ruiko. They seem to be just a bunch of cowards."

"That's not the case. At least we know that there must be someone in this cult who understands Europa magic. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so afraid of Leizi."

"Ok?"

After hearing what Chloe said, Shinobu became even more confused. Didn't she just say that most of Ruiko's magic were life magic that wasn't very suitable for combat?

"We know that Leizi's magic is the most basic entry-level daily magic, but those people don't know that. It's in their eyes."

Chloe turned to look at Shinobu and Kanao, revealing a meaningful smile, "In their eyes, Saten Ruiko-san is Eternal Green Page, the great magician and disciple of Lulutia Zekin. She is an absolute SSR-level enemy."
