Chapter 10 Murder
Yunji's words of "playing with fire and self-immolation" are a warning.
Demons are much more dangerous than fire. Even wild beasts will not be manipulated by humans, let alone more ferocious demons.
King Xuan didn't take it seriously. He had used this method many times and was already familiar with it.
However, King Xuan felt that Yunji's unruly tone was right for him, so he gave him his name.
King Xuan's real name is Ji Guxuan, and his younger sister is Ji Qingyao. This man is extremely ambitious and has an iron fist. He has already won over more than half of the generals in the army. He can be said to have responded to a hundred calls. He has already had the strength to fight against the emperor, otherwise he would not have faced Yunji in front of him.
The stranger's face revealed the true purpose of the trip.
The only thing that King Xuan lacks is the most powerful frontier army. As long as he takes the last move of the frontier army, he will not be far from the throne.
The change of throne is destined to be full of blood, and Yunji has no interest in this muddy water.
Although Wanghai Town is safe for the time being, we should not be careless. There are more than a thousand monsters outside the city. If they attack the city, Wanghai Town will become a dead place within half an hour.
ah!!!!!!
The tragic wails rang out from the city and spread far and wide in the quiet night.
"Someone died tragically before midnight. It seems that King Xuan's guarantee has no effect." Yunji's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The screams may not be caused by monsters, but by desperadoes." King Xuan's face darkened a little.
"Unless you are a desperado who likes to kill, you can only be a demon if you scream heart-breakingly." Yunji could hear how miserable the screams were, and it was definitely not as simple as being hacked to death with a sword.
"You can tell whether it's a human or a monster just by looking at it, Ayao." King Xuan said in a deep voice.
The girl nodded, silently felt it, and quickly pointed in a direction and said: "The heavy smell of blood is in the west of the city."
The girl has a keen sense of talent and can detect the presence of bloody smell.
Ayao led the way, and King Xuan and Yunji rushed to the place where the screams came from, accompanied by two palace guards with long breaths.
After passing through several streets and alleys, the group came to the scene of the accident.
The courtyard door was wide open, and there were several neighbors outside the door, pointing and pointing, but no one dared to go in.
When we arrived at the door, we could smell the strong smell of blood.
There are dead people inside, and more than one.
Yunji took the lead and walked in, followed closely by King Xuan. The two palace guards stepped forward to stop him, but King Xuan turned his back with his eyes.
If he is not even afraid of a commoner boy, how can he, King Xuan, be weaker than the queen?
There were two bodies lying in the room, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
The two deceased men looked similar in age, they looked like brothers, and their wounds were exactly the same, both on their hearts.
"My heart is gone... vomit..."
A Yao turned pale immediately after seeing the corpse, retched and hid away.
There are two holes in the hearts of the two corpses, and their hearts have been hollowed out!
"Taking out the heart, such a cruel method." King Xuan glanced at the corpse, unmoved. He had seen many worse things than this.
"These two are students of Wuyuexuan." Yunji recognized the corpses as the last two students of Wuyuexuan. He had seen these two people when he came to Wanghai Town last month.
"The injury was caused by sharp claws. The claws are divided into five fingers, like human hands. What on earth is killing people?" King Xuan used his own hands to check the wound in the heart of the corpse, frowned and looked at the two guards beside him.
The man shook his head slightly, still unable to see the true identity of the murderer.
"Fox demon." Yunji gave an affirmative answer.
King Xuan was surprised. He followed Yunji's gaze and found a clue. A thin hair was stuck on the shoulder of the corpse.
One of the guards stepped forward and picked up the hair, which showed a fiery red color under the firelight.
"There are many monsters with long hair. How can you identify a fox monster with just one hair?" King Xuan didn't care about the corpse, but he was very interested in Yunji's identification techniques.
"A butcher can smell pig blood with his nose. Practice makes perfect," Yun Jida said.
"An old butcher who has slaughtered countless pigs can identify pig blood with his sense of smell. Could it be that you have also killed many fox demons." A palace guard questioned.
"Fox demons, I have killed some. Their fur is really warm. Our villagers have a fox fur coat." Yunji replied.
"The fur of wild foxes is also quite warm." Another palace guard was even more unconvinced, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
There are at least a hundred people in a village, and one fox skin may not be enough to make a complete fox fur coat. In total, nearly a thousand fox demons must be killed.
It is not difficult to kill a thousand wild foxes, but the fox demon is not a wild fox.
Even if it is the lowest low-level fox demon, if it wants to kill thousands of them, these two guards with high status in Prince Xuan's Mansion cannot do it, let alone a young Qi practitioner.
They didn't believe it, and Yunji didn't explain. He crossed his shoulders and looked out the door, with some doubts and some worries in his eyes.
The two students died suddenly, and Wu Yuexuan was right on the street.
"Is there still a body?" King Xuan asked. One of the guards immediately went out to investigate and returned soon.
"There are two bodies in the backyard."
"Go and have a look."
The corpses in the backyard were that of an elderly couple. They were bleeding to death from all the orifices, their skulls were cracked, and their eyes were staring with inexplicable horror. It was unknown what kind of horrific scene they had seen.
"The hearts of these two people are still there. If the fox demon committed the crime, why did he only rip out the hearts of those two brothers?" King Xuan was curious. Although the corpse in the backyard was in an ugly state of death, there was no wound on the heart and the heart was still there.
"Maybe it's to relieve hatred." Yunji said something incomprehensible, turned around and left.
"Jiehen? Who hates them?" King Xuan immediately followed, with two guards following closely behind him.
Yunji walked quickly and headed straight to Wuyuexuan facing the street.
He had an ominous guess.
The courtyard door of Wuyuexuan was wide open, but there was no one in the room.
The candle burned alone and was about to be extinguished.
The candle oil is like tears, slowly sliding down.
"Wuyuexuan, what a name." King Xuan followed Yunji into the study and said, "The student died at home and the master disappeared. Wanghai Town is not at peace, Ayao."
The girl's nose twitched, then she frowned and walked towards the woodshed in the backyard.
"There are bones." Ayao stood in front of the firewood shed with a certain tone.
King Xuan made a gesture, and two guards broke in. After a while, they found several bones under a pile of wood deep in the woodshed.
The bones were very small and looked like those of a child.
"He killed people, cut their bones and buried them in the woodshed. It seems that the master here is a heinous murderer." King Xuan said.
"It's not Master's fault, it's a demon that eats people and hides their bones here." Yunji remembered what the craftsmen said about children being lost in the town recently. Unexpectedly, all the lost children were hidden in Wuyue Xuan, and only the bones were left.
"With so many children's bones hidden in the firewood shed, even if it was done by a fox demon, the owner of Wuyue Xuan would not be able to escape his involvement." King Xuan said with a smile, not caring about the murder.
The demons outside the city were caused by him, but the demons in the city had nothing to do with him, King Xuan.
"Fox demons are good at enchanting, Master, I'm afraid that he has fallen into the trap." Yun Ji said.
"Human beings are fox puppets, killing lives, and thus becoming the minions of the demon. Brother Yun must have a close relationship with Wuyue Xuan. What would happen if Master here associates with the demon?" King Xuan said with great interest.
