"Bang!"
A crisp sound came from the confrontation spot, as if someone had cracked a loud whip. The witches outside the mud pond let out a collective, gentle "ay ya" of surprise.
Right after bending down, Zheng Qing quickly straightened up and turned to look over. Because he did it so fast, a few clumps of mud went flying and splattered onto Li Meng, causing the little witch to mutter low complaints.
Zheng Qing paid no mind to her complaints.
When he looked at the confrontation spot, he just saw an orange light spot slowly fading away. The light was located between the patrol officers and the Fishmen, seemingly some sort of cautioning magic.
Zheng Qing let out a deep sigh of relief.
"It's the 'Palace Yellow Curse' from the 'Charm of Five Sounds and Colors,' a preliminary cautioning magic," Xiao Xiao, who was equally focused on the standoff, promptly explained to the others, "…Overall, the situation is still under control."
