Unrivaled Tang Sect: Xiao Ding Zhen Tian

Chapter 104 Guess
This snack street is located at the junction of the North City and East City of Qi Jue City. Walking out from the end of the street, you will reach the North City.

Although he brought Zhang Lexuan out to eat, Xiao Yun actually had a lot of ideas when choosing this place.

The North City is the most poorly managed area in Qi Jue City and is also known as the refugee area of ​​Qi Jue City.

The vast majority of those cases occurred in the North City area.

"It seems that the impact of these cases is really bad. There are not many people on the streets." Xiao Yun was holding a skewer of meat in his hand. The fresh meat was roasted golden and crispy. The boss who sold the skewers was a very honest man. The meat on each skewer was very big and tasted very delicious.

After finishing the skewers, Xiao Yun's eyes became more serious. "Sister Le Xuan, do you think those evil soul masters have left?"

"They may have left, or they may not have left. Our mission is to find them and kill them." Zhang Lexuan's tone was no longer as gentle as before when she said this. Most people have the same attitude towards evil soul masters - they hate them!
No one is born an out-and-out evil soul master. Perhaps there are unknown twists and turns, but no matter which evil soul master it is, they do not know how to be forgiven by others.

After all, it is you who chose to take this path, and you are the only one responsible for your own life.

"I don't think they left." Xiao Yun took a deep breath. "Although I don't know much about Qi Jue City, when I was chatting with the shop owners and customers just now, I found that this area is indeed a very suitable place for evil soul masters to kill."

Zhang Lexuan glanced at him and asked, "Because this place is not valued?"

Xiao Yun nodded. "The area of ​​Qi Jue City is much larger than my hometown Maple Leaf City, but the strength of the City Lord's Mansion is not much different. Maple Leaf City where I live already has some areas where poor people live, so Qi Jue City will naturally have more, not less."

"The North City District is a famous civilian area in Qi Jue City. There are almost no soul masters here. It is naturally very easy to kill people here." At this point, Xiao Yun took a deep breath, "For those evil soul masters, this place is a natural slaughterhouse."

It was hard to imagine that Xiao Yun, a boy of only twelve years old, would utter such cold words, and there was no fear in his tone at all.

To be honest, if Zhang Lexuan hadn't known Xiao Yun when he had just awakened his martial spirit, she would have really thought that this little guy Xiao Yun had lied about his age.

"So, where do you think those evil soul masters will hide?"

"It definitely won't be in the North City District." Xiao Yun said.

Zhang Lexuan was stunned, "Why do you say that?"

“An evil soul master, no matter how low his cultivation is, cannot completely conceal the aura of his soul power. If they were hiding in the North City District, they would have been discovered long ago.” Xiao Yun smiled slightly, “I think the place where they are more likely to hide is in the West City District, which is the most prosperous area in Qijue City.”

"There are all kinds of people there, and there are quite a few powerful soul masters."

Nodding, Zhang Lexuan didn't think that what Xiao Yun said was completely right, but it was undeniable that what he said made sense.

“Why don’t we go there?”

"I want to take a look at the crime scene first. I think I can find some clues." Xiao Yun replied, "Since these evil soul masters are hiding their identities, their strength should not be very strong. Otherwise, they would not have to hide like this. But even so, evil soul masters are a group of guys whose strength cannot be judged by common sense. If you want to deal with them, you still have to find out some of their abilities first."

Looking at Xiao Yun, Zhang Lexuan suddenly smiled and said, "I think you really have the talent to be an inspector."

"To be honest, I don't have much interest in the Inspectorate." Xiao Yun shook his head. "Of course, I'm not saying that the Shrek Inspectorate is a bad organization. The main reason is that my biggest concern right now is to practice and become stronger as soon as possible. If I become an Inspectorate, I will often have to go out on missions from time to time, and I guess my practice time will be greatly reduced."

"Although almost every student will join the Shrek Supervisory Group after entering the inner courtyard, I think you should be an exception." Zhang Lexuan looked at Xiao Yun with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, "I can feel that your heart is not entirely in the academy."

Hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, Xiao Yun's eyes trembled slightly, but he did not hide it. Instead, he nodded and said, "Almost. Shrek Academy is a very good place for me to practice. You also know that I have discussed some conditions with Dean Yan in private. As long as the academy is willing to give me satisfactory conditions, I will still help the academy."

"But in fact, I don't really want to rely on any one force. To be honest, the eldest lady of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian, ​​once extended an olive branch to me and invited me to join their sect. When I was a child, the Tianhun Royal Family also lobbied me, but I rejected them all."

"Is that so?" Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, "No matter what, I am still your Sister Lexuan."

Xiao Yun didn't say anything, but just held Zhang Lexuan's hand tightly.

From the time we left the base until now, we have never been separated.

Looking at the boy beside her, Zhang Lexuan asked inexplicably, "Xiaoyun, you and Yuner should have a good relationship, right?"

"She's fine. She's gentle and obedient. She's a very good girl." Xiao Yun couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lexuan. "Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing. After all, you are my adopted brother. As a sister, I should care about you." Zhang Lexuan remained calm, but she felt inexplicably lost in her heart.

Is it good?
"Here we are."

Xiao Yun's words pulled her out of her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw that they had unknowingly walked to the outside of a very old courtyard.

The area of ​​this courtyard was not large, and the entirety of it could be seen at a glance. But even before the two of them entered, they could still smell the lingering bloody smell in the air.

What made Xiao Yun feel a little disappointed was that even though such a big thing had happened, the City Lord's Mansion still did not send any personnel over.

In the hearts of these nobles, have the common people really been abandoned by them?

Is this behavior very different from that of an evil soul master?
After pushing open the door, accompanied by an unpleasant noise, two people walked into the yard one after the other.

Xiao Yun did not sense any fluctuations in breath and energy when emitting spiritual power. After calming down slightly, Xiao Yun walked straight into the house.

As soon as he walked in, an extremely unpleasant smell of decay and blood hit him in the face. Even when Xiao Yun smelled this smell for the first time, his face changed instantly and he almost vomited.

Not to mention Xiao Yun, even Zhang Lexuan, who had carried out many missions, frowned when she smelled this smell, and she looked equally uncomfortable.

Inside the house, dried blood was everywhere. Four bodies that had decayed beyond recognition lay quietly on the ground, looking so pitiful and lonely. Xiao Yun had never expected that after such a long time, no one had collected the bodies.
"What a beast!"

Xiao Yun cursed softly, but he didn't know who he was cursing.

Zhang Lexuan also frowned and walked to Xiao Yun's side. Feeling the anger in the boy's body, she quickly placed a hand on his shoulder. Even though the environment here was extremely depressing, she still spoke to comfort Xiao Yun, "It's your first time to carry out a mission, so you must be scared, right? The purpose of our Shrek Supervisory Group is to prevent such things from happening again on the mainland."

Xiao Yun did not answer, but just looked at these four corpses that he had never seen before and seemed to have nothing to do with him, and the anger in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

They will suffer extremely painful torture before death, and after death they cannot be buried, but will be left here alone.

Is this what the common people of Douluo Continent do? Is this what those powerful people do?
Enduring the dual discomfort of psychology and physiology, Xiao Yun approached the four bodies and began to observe them with a frown.

Even though the bodies could no longer be recognized and even their skin had rotted and broken, Xiao Yun could still see what kind of torture these people had suffered!
Their festering bodies were covered with streaks of blood, each of which was extremely deep, but they would not cause their immediate death.

There was a large patch of dried dark blood under each corpse. It was obvious that they were tortured to death by being bled again and again.

"It's a special weapon, probably made by a weapon spirit." Zhang Lexuan spoke up at this time, "Judging from the knife marks on these corpses, it should have been done by one person."

"The academy doesn't have any information on this kind of weapon spirit?"

“Yes, but the number of this kind of martial souls is not small, and generally speaking, many of the martial souls of evil soul masters are caused by mutated martial souls.” Zhang Lexuan sighed softly.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go to other crime scenes and take another look. If the wounds are similar, it's probably caused by one person." Xiao Yun took a deep breath. "If it's just one person, then it will be difficult to find him."

"I asked Zhang Long. The total population of Qijue City is nearly two million. The population of the North City District is definitely less than one-tenth of that. In other words, we need to find one person among more than one million people. Moreover, there is a high probability that he is in the most prosperous area of ​​Qijue City."

"After all, it's much harder to track the whereabouts of one person than several people."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Lexuan looked at Xiao Yun. At this moment, she did not treat this boy, who was more than ten years younger than her, as a junior, but put him on an equal footing to communicate.

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and said, "In fact, I think that instead of looking for his trace, it is better to wait and see."

"Sister Le Xuan, do you think it's easier to find someone in the other three districts of Qi Jue City, or wait for someone to come over in this shabby district where few people live?"

"You are right, but we need to discuss this matter with President Cai again."

"You can just go back." Xiao Yun looked at Zhang Lexuan and suddenly said this.

Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned serious, "Xiaoyun, do you want to stay here alone?"

"more or less."

"Are you crazy? We don't know how many evil spirit masters there are. Everything we just thought of is just our current inference, not the actual situation! What's the difference between you staying here alone and committing suicide?"

Listening to Zhang Lexuan's rather harsh words, Xiao Yun was not angry, but felt warm in his heart.

"Let's go somewhere else first." Xiao Yun took the initiative to hold Zhang Lexuan's hand and smiled at her.

Seeing Xiao Yun's smile, Zhang Lexuan couldn't be angry anymore. She just warned Xiao Yun a few more times before following him out of the yard.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour, the two of them wandered around the northern city for a while before returning to the city's border.

"From what I just learned, I think it's very likely that there is only one evil spirit master, and he hasn't left." Xiao Yun took a deep breath and told Zhang Lexuan his thoughts. "First of all, judging from the scale of his recent crimes, the number of targets he has chosen is increasing, which means his needs are also increasing. At first we thought he was torturing and killing these civilians, but in fact, he should be using their blood, which may have a lot to do with his martial spirit."

"Secondly, this person's cultivation level is not very high, and it will not exceed six rings at most. Perhaps a strong person above the Titled Douluo can hide his cultivation level very well, but spirit masters below that level generally do not have any particularly powerful hiding methods. If it was above the sixth ring, it would have been exposed long ago. I even feel that this person's cultivation level should be only four or five rings."

"His martial spirit should be a weapon spirit of a short sword or dagger, very sharp, and should be between the agile attack system and the strong attack system. I think it is more likely to be a martial spirit of the agile attack system. After all, it will make it easier for him to run around in Qijue City."

"As for the time of his crime, it should be at night, and not late at night. After all, a torture and killing incident that suddenly occurred in the middle of the night would be easily discovered. The best time to commit the crime is only at night, and when the family happens to be together."

Listening to Xiao Yun's analysis, Zhang Lexuan found this little guy more and more terrifying.

Is he really a twelve-year-old?
After speaking out his own inference, Xiao Yun raised his handsome face and looked at Zhang Lexuan in front of him, "So, tonight or tomorrow night is the time he should choose to commit the crime, and it is also the most likely time. Sister Lexuan, I want to stay."

After a pause, he added, "I'm alone."

"no!"

As expected, Zhang Lexuan rejected Xiao Yun directly after hearing his words, "Do you think I will let you stay here alone? Not to mention that you are not the Inspector General yet, even if you were, I would never agree!"

"Xiao Yun, for us, this is a mission and our responsibility. But for you, this is just a test! You don't have to put yourself in danger for a test."

"Sister, you are right. This is indeed just a test for me." Xiao Yun took a deep breath, "But at the same time, I am a human being and a civilian."

"I'm not a person with lofty ideas, and I don't want to be the kind of person who is high and mighty and looks down on others. I just simply feel that I'm already very unhappy now."

He looked into Zhang Lexuan's bright eyes and said word by word, "I want to kill that evil soul master."
