Chapter 65 Tracking the Monster

The murder in the teahouse was just a trivial matter for Xu Xian and others.

After all, they are just two Taoist warriors in the True Qi Realm, and they are not Taoist disciples. They have learned some outflow Taoist mental methods.

Such things happen every day in Linhai, so naturally the city guards will solve them. Even if they cannot be handled, they will not fall within the scope of the responsibility of the Foreign Affairs Hall - demons are foreign affairs, and people are not.

About two quarters of an hour later, the four arrived at their destination. At such a fast speed, we have to thank the convenient transportation on the island in the heart of the lake.

The degree of modernization within the jurisdiction of Daomen is indeed very high, especially the two major areas of transportation and commerce, which are even far superior to Xu Xiansheng's previous life.

Due to the existence of air channel, the island in the middle of the lake can accommodate extremely large-scale traffic flow, but it is limited to the jurisdiction of Taomen.

Because after leaving the Taoist sect's territory, there is no sufficiently complete air traffic rules outside the world, and no one can follow them - are you expecting the demon clan to wait for the red light?

What really makes Xu Xian feel inconvenient here is the field of communications.

Compared with the portable phones in previous lives, the Taoist sect also used flying swords to deliver letters, or relied on summoning objects such as demon spirits to transport letters through spiritual means.

But in the final analysis, ordinary disciples do not have instant communication methods, and there may be some inside the Taoist sect, but that is not something Xu Xian can reach at the moment.

"It's here." A young man in uniform led Xu Xian and others to a neighborhood, "Four immortal masters, this is the first crime scene. We have blocked the surroundings and have not allowed anyone to enter."

The direction pointed by the young man's finger is a three-story upright loft, which is the most popular style right now.

Due to the development of air traffic, high-rise buildings are not popular in Linhai City. Two or three-story single-family lofts like this are the mainstream, but those who are able to afford them are basically middle-class.

Xu Xian took the information and looked at it again. This family is indeed in good financial conditions. The head of the household is a classical monk in the True Qi realm, that is, he practices Taoism and does not understand martial arts.

He is a registered disciple of the Taoist sect - he did not pass the assessment in his early years, similar to Yu Yunchen, but he had no background to be taken care of - he usually made a living by making talismans, and should have a certain practical combat power.

Xu Xian and the other four walked into the attic. At this time, just one day had passed since the incident. The smell of blood in the room had not yet dissipated, and several corpses were placed as usual.

The four people checked the bodies, and as the city guards said, they were all deaths caused by gnawing on their necks, and there were obvious remains of demonic energy.

Speaking of which, Xu Xian didn't know what demonic energy was, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he immediately understood it.

The demonic energy is an extremely strange energy aura, which is completely different from the aura produced by the true energy, and is more like a power generated from the bloodline.

"It should be an ordinary monster committing the crime." Wei Lecai finally concluded, "I think we will use the demon-sensing pestle to investigate, so as not to run away."

"That's right." Tian Taiyu nodded quickly.

The so-called demon-sighting pestle is a tool specially used to track demonic energy. This mission is specially distributed, but it must be returned after the mission is over.

This kind of instrument has a simple principle and is not expensive inside the Taoist sect. Many people often have one, which can be effective when tracking monsters and ghosts.

And the only disadvantage is...it can only be used within the jurisdiction of Taomen.

It is not that the magic weapon itself has regional restrictions, but that if there are too many monsters around it and a large number of various monsters will seriously interfere with the direction judgment of the magic weapon.

Only monsters are prohibited from entering within the jurisdiction of the Dao Sect, and usually only a few demons infiltrate are more suitable for such magic weapons to exert their power.

Of course, Xu Xian had no objection to this. He was following behind, as if he was looking at the environment around, but in fact he was always observing Yao Xinrui intentionally or unintentionally.

The appearance of the former brave man was because he killed another person, which made Xu Xian seriously suspicious that the mechanism to trigger the brave man was to complete the kill.

Although it may also be an act in this process, this act itself is undoubtedly the most likely.

If Xu Xian’s guess is correct, it means that Yao Xinrui is likely to have killed someone on the ship.

And this may be the reason why she was suddenly transferred to the Foreign Affairs Hall, and Tian Taiyu followed her out of emotional factors.

Yao Xinrui seemed to notice something and turned her head as if nothing had happened. Xu Xian also turned her head with the flow, as if nothing had happened.

But Xu Xian observed that she seemed to have been staring at the body that had been eaten away - it was the 17-year-old daughter of the head of the household.

"It seems a bit strange... Even if the monster wants to hunt, why would he choose an ordinary girl? The head of the household is a monk at least."

Xu Xian couldn't help but touch his chin.

...

The search for the Demon-Spyder was very smooth. The demon clan did not seem to be good at hiding its own aura. The total amount of demon-Spyder left was very sufficient. The Demon-Spyder quickly pointed out the direction for the four people.

"To the east, it's about two miles away, and the other party hasn't run far!" Wei Lecai was indeed experienced, but he quickly asserted according to the direction of the demon-study pestle.

The four of them looked at each other and immediately stood up and rushed to the east without the need for the people from the city guards to follow. After all, this was just an ordinary mission.

As the demon-spying pestle pointed closer, the target hiding place seemed to have been exposed, which was an abandoned warehouse.

Wei Lecai couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that it's just a blood demon. If it's a half demon or a spirit demon, there is a way to hide his demonic energy and he won't hide in such a place."

After the demon clan reaches the spiritual demon realm, it can restrain its own demonic energy and not be noticed from far away unless it uses magical powers.

The half demon is a mixed blood of humans and demon races. Some half demons are born with the ability to restrain demonic energy.

Tian Taiyu is also a Taoist warrior. The short sword in his hand has been unsheathed and said excitedly: "Senior Brother Wei, let me take the lead. Please ask the three of you to support me!"

Wei Lecai was naturally happy that someone would stand up. Based on his experience, he actually understood that the demon clan who could hide in Linhai City would have some skills.

However, he would definitely not respond like this and pretended to say, "No, the demon clan has many talented magical powers, so let me go first..."

While the two were talking, Yao Xinrui suddenly said, "Why don't you go in together... Brother Wei, I can help you hold the demon-striking pestle!"

Wei Lecai couldn't help but froze, but the suggestion of "going in together" was no problem, so he had to smile and hand over the demon-striking pestle and walk side by side with Tian Taiyu.

Xu Xian naturally followed, but he fell a little behind and just behind the two of them, and instead stood side by side with Yao Xinrui.

So the four of them entered the abandoned warehouse almost at the same time. The next moment, a strong demonic aura filled the entire warehouse.

Tian Taiyu snorted coldly and said, "The monster, why don't you come out and die?!"

Wei Lecai was trembling and pressed Tian Taiyu's shoulder: "Junior Brother Tian, ​​it seems something is wrong. This demonic aura is too strong..."

Tian Taiyu turned his head in confusion, and just as he was about to speak, a hint of red began to appear on the middle of his eyebrows.

"Junior brother?"

Wei Le was stunned for a moment, then he saw Tian Taiyu staring at his eyes, piercing a finger through the back of his head, and slowly poking out from the middle of his eyebrows.
