CHAPTER 934: CHAPTER 69: THE FOX DEMON’S DEMISE

Xing Rilong was naturally suspicious and cautious. Although he outwardly showed a dismissive attitude towards Pei Laoliu’s words, his heart was nonetheless on high alert.

Several soldiers also sensed something amiss, and they raised their Long Spears and slowly approached step by step.

"Old Bear? Old Bear?"

Someone tried to call out to their comrade in front of them.

However, those two stood there motionless, as if under an immobilization spell, and did not respond.

Seeing this strange scene, the City Guard Army couldn’t help but break into a sweat on their foreheads.

They recalled all the bizarre incidents spreading through the town recently, silently fearing they might have encountered something supernatural this time.

Pei Laoliu was also fully focused on them.

The demon was very cunning, not only curling up behind the box, but also using the bodies of these City Guard soldiers to shield itself, consistently keeping an obstacle between it and the others.

At this moment, those soldiers had already come within five meters of the box.

Xing Rilong noticed that those men suddenly lowered their Long Spears and continued walking without pause, standing beside the previous two, motionless.

The whole process looked like they had intentionally walked over to be punished, which even made him, the captain, feel a trace of trepidation.

"You, what exactly are you doing...?"

Though he was unwilling to admit it, the fear in his eyes had already become tangible.

What those soldiers thought of, he could think of as well.

In recent times, many strange things had happened in the city, with a few people going missing during each incident.

If not for the City Lord ordering to seal the news, the city might have already been in lockdown by now.

In fact, the City Lord already had plans in that direction.

The deadline for solving the case that was given to them was fast approaching.

If they still couldn’t investigate clearly, the city might indeed be sealed.

Thinking of the City Lord’s methods made cold sweat continuously break out down Xing Rilong’s back.

This was also why he personally led the team to appear at the Qian Family’s place.

Now he didn’t want to miss any clue in the city.

"Alas, I’ve already said, the demon is right behind, and you just wouldn’t listen!"

Pei Laoliu sighed angrily:

"Now look, your men have been trapped by it, and any attempt I make to deal with it will be incredibly cumbersome, causing me unnecessary trouble!"

"The demon... demon!?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xing Rilong became excited.

His gaze fixed firmly on those people not far away, feeling that he might have finally found the real culprit of the events, or at least something better than returning empty-handed.

"Someone come!"

His eyes turned cold as he shouted loudly to the outside, while his gaze locked towards the direction of the box.

"Hmph, I don’t care whether you are a monster or use some unorthodox practices, but in Han Yue City, you won’t be allowed to act recklessly! Come out obediently and follow me back to see the City Lord, confess clearly what you’ve done, or suffer the consequences!"

He had initially said this as a stalling tactic, but unexpectedly, those people on the opposing side had a reaction at this moment.

The soldiers all turned their heads to face Master Liu and the others.

They all had pale faces, their eyes rolled back, appearing as if they had lost their consciousness.

One of them suddenly moved his mouth slightly, then slowly spoke in a sharp, piercing voice:

"You... all... #￥#@!%..."

His words became indistinct towards the end, only heard as a series of screeching sounds, as if the monster was not very adept at speaking the Human language.

The soldiers’ sudden speech and their eerie expressions caused Xing Rilong, who was about to strike, to pause abruptly.

Similarly, the newly arrived subordinates around were also scared by their companions’ bizarre behavior.

"Wretched beast! Stop at once!"

This time, Master Liu suddenly shouted as he stepped forward.

"Wretched beast! Do not think that by casting an Enchanting Soul Array and hiding behind these people, you have any chance of winning! If my Flying Sword is unleashed, it will surely annihilate you entirely!"

Everyone turned to look at him after hearing these words; although they were all surprised and puzzled, nobody interrupted at such a time.

The soldier being controlled also turned his head towards Pei Laoliu, and that sharp, infant-like voice rang out again:

"You... are all in cahoots... you... all deserve to die...!!"

Master Liu’s face turned cold, and the Flying Sword behind him hummed restlessly.

At his feet, Dahei bared its teeth, looking ready to attack at any moment.

However, Master Liu did not act immediately; he recalled some information he had learned, then asked:

"You demon, let me ask you, was the Qian Family murder your doing? And why did you bring these two children here!?"

Xing Rilong’s eyes lit up, putting on a look of interest as he stared at the soldier.

"Gah... gah..."

The soldier suddenly let out a few strange laughs, then said:

"The Qian Family murder... of course, it was I... who did it... that hunter’s skin... I controlled him... to peel it off bit by bit! Such a pity... he died of pain after only half was done..."

"You...!!"

Pei Laoliu’s eyes halted, even though he had anticipated what had happened, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger hearing it spoken aloud.
