Settling Down

All four of the Zhong Kui men felt hard-pressed to defend the survival of their organization. But there wasn't much they could do.

Elder Bai glanced over at Gu Fang, wondering which side he would take if conflict erupted again. But even if he did, what would that change?

These young people here were far from ordinary. This was not the first they heard of humans suddenly discovering powers that defied that natural order.

Some of them, the Zhong Kui had already captured, trying to figure out what was happening.

But the four of them were already having trouble fighting one demon. When the woman had joined in, covered in fire, the fight had rapidly devolved into a losing battle, one of them even getting flung off the balcony.

With a third one here, ready to throw down, their chances were close to nil.

And the perennity of the Zhong Kui was more important than killing one demon, however dangerous he was.
