"Report—"
The loud call of the messenger soldier sliced through the back hall of Dong'an City's Inspectorate.
Li Dazhi had not yet had time to raise his head when the teleportation formation in the neighboring courtyard lit up, and the elder Tianli, accompanied by three Golden Immortals, stepped out of the light column and appeared before Li Dazhi in a flash.
"Stop reporting!"
Elder Tianli said, "Everyone here already knows what's going on, you may leave."
The messenger Celestial Soldier bowed and excused himself.
"Did you find him?" Li Dazhi's voice trembled slightly.
"We found him," Elder Tianli's expression was somewhat complex, "There's good news and bad news; let's start with the bad."
"No, elder, you ... Go ahead, please!"
"The bad news is, Ping'an was captured by a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Demon Race who's skilled in escaping."
"What!"
