Inoue Chunying insisted, so Qin Xuan had no choice but to let her follow for the time being.
After all, the other party was from a cultivation family and had some abilities.
Not to mention ignoring her completely, but at least he wouldn't have to worry too much.
He reached out and pulled Inoue Chunying up from the ground, and the two of them headed straight for the elevator to go downstairs.
The entire 20th floor was now empty.
Qin Xuan could even see open rooms with doors left ajar on the way.
However, near these rooms, there were no signs of panic. It was clear that these people were not scared away by the gunshots, but had been notified to evacuate in advance.
"Mike Jones, right..."
"When I get back, we'll settle the score slowly!"
Ding!
The elevator arrived.
Qin Xuan pulled Inoue Chunying behind him and then summoned his great shield.
When the elevator door opened, he directly pushed against it and walked inside.
He had checked the elevator before it came up.
It had stopped at the first floor for quite some time.
This would have been fine for La City, which had no rest periods.
But the problem was that after stopping, it went straight to the 20th floor without stopping at any other floors.
From the first to the 20th floor, the Palm Tree Casino Resort had at least seven or eight different leisure and entertainment areas.
Casinos, cinemas, restaurants, spas – it had everything.
Yet, in such a comprehensive luxury resort, a group of people went nowhere else but directly to the residential area on the 20th floor.
So, it was obvious that they must have been in league with the people from before.
As Qin Xuan had expected.
When the elevator reached the 20th floor, a group of men in black, carrying guns, were ready to come out.
But when the elevator door opened, they were met with a large, black, rectangular giant object!
Seeing this, everyone quickly raised their guns, but there were too many people coming.
Even though this elevator had a higher passenger capacity than usual.
It still couldn't accommodate so many people to maneuver.
Helplessly, they had to draw their handguns from their waists to prepare for a counterattack.
But they were suddenly forced back by the massive shield.
In an instant, everyone was pushed to the innermost part of the elevator by the shield.
Those who were originally close to the elevator were directly knocked unconscious by the immense impact.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan immediately retracted his shield and struck out, knocking out all the remaining people.
Originally, he had thought of simply taking out a gun and shooting these people one by one.
But then he remembered that he would need to use this elevator again, so he reluctantly gave up.
He collected all the firearms scattered on the ground again and signaled for the stunned Inoue Chunying to quickly come in.
Inoue Chunying nodded dazedly and did as she was told.
However, her mind was completely bewildered at this moment.
She didn't know where Qin Xuan had conjured such a large black giant shield from, nor why he could make so many guns disappear into thin air.
She only knew that Qin Xuan, who stood beside her, was definitely more mysterious than she had imagined.
However, before the elevator reached the ground floor, Inoue Chunying suddenly came to a realization.
What was this, and why that?
This was her future husband!
She only needed to serve him well and revive the family with him.
As for anything else, there was no need to think so much!
When the elevator reached the first floor, Qin Xuan felt that the gaze beside him had changed.
After conjuring the shield, Inoue Chunying gently hugged his arm from behind!
"Ahem, Miss Chunying."
With a light cough, Qin Xuan quickly signaled that it was not appropriate for Inoue Chunying to do so.
Inoue Chunying mistook it as Qin Xuan being worried about being unable to move freely if more enemies appeared.
After a soft apology, she quietly stepped aside.
The elevator door opened, and Qin Xuan walked towards the lobby, holding his giant shield.
But unlike before, there was no sign of anything unusual in the lobby; everything was as normal.
It seemed that although Mike Jones was colluding with Huda, he was still concerned about his resort business.
After following Inoue Chunying for a long distance, Qin Xuan finally arrived at the area owned by Huda.
As the capitalist with the most "remote" industrial location, Huda was the only magnate who became one of the Four Heavenly Kings based on the number of his industries and land ownership.
From the center of La City outwards, nearly fifty square kilometers of land belonged to him alone.
Directly occupying nearly fifteen percent of the entire La City!
Keep in mind, this was La City!
Although on the surface, there were five powers – the Four Heavenly Kings plus a substitute – dividing the territory.
In reality, behind the prosperous La City, how could there only be these five forces?
Celebrity tycoons, political capital.
In the United States, which powerful figure would ignore such a large piece of fat meat?
Just like why Chris could remain the undisputed leader among the Four Heavenly Kings?
Because he had the backing of a legendary businessman.
And the building he and that person had jointly created was called the Trump International Hotel!
"Huda's territory is ahead."
"Miss Chunying, I'll trouble you from here on."
Standing on what seemed like a normal street, Qin Xuan said to Inoue Chunying with a smile.
Inoue Chunying nodded.
She took out the paper cranes used for reconnaissance again.
With another obscure incantation, the paper cranes flapped their wings and flew out of Inoue Chunying's hands again.
Watching the paper cranes gradually disappear into the night, Qin Xuan's face was filled with curiosity.
According to his inner voice, these so-called Shikigami were actually mountain spirits and monsters that had been summoned.
As long as they had not completely transformed into human form, he could directly converse with them.
Did this mean that if he encountered an Onmyoji, he could disrupt the Onmyoji's control over the mountain spirits and monsters as Shikigami through communication?
As he was thinking, the paper crane Shikigami controlled by Inoue Chunying had already arrived at the entrances of various buildings.
They passed through the bustling and lively lobby and entered the hidden corners behind.
Everything was arranged as Qin Xuan had expected.
The prosperity outside was merely a facade to deceive Qin Xuan.
Behind these brightly lit buildings, a large number of heavily armed men in black were hidden.
And while the two were investigating the situation.
A rustling sound of footsteps gradually approached them.
"Miss Chunying, time is almost up."
"Has your demigod-level Shikigami recovered?"
Inoue Chunying nodded and took out another folded paper from her embrace.
Unlike the small paper cranes, this folded paper was so large that it even exceeded Inoue Chunying's own height.
This surprised Qin Xuan greatly.
He had always thought that she had sewn a small pocket in her chest for easy access to her Shikigami.
Now it seemed that as the head of the Kamo family, this Inoue Chunying also possessed a spatial container!
As the incantation was chanted.
The folded paper visibly began to take on a three-dimensional form.
When Inoue Chunying finished chanting, a giant bird exceeding three meters in height appeared before the two of them.
Seeing this, the people on the street no longer pretended to linger.
They all took out handguns from their waists, and hundreds of dark muzzles instantly covered the location of the two and the bird.
