Chapter 476: Retreat as Advance (22)

Not long after, the people sent by Wang Chongyang came back.

"Master Qi, we have inquired about the situation before the three people were killed. People who are familiar with them did not notice anything unusual about the three people. According to the people who saw them, the three people met from the disciple dormitory area and went to Yunlai together first. We will eat in a restaurant, then take over at the nearby military camp and start patrolling at night." A disciple explained the situation.

Yu Guihai frowned, thoughtfully.

"There is nothing unusual about this. Go and inquire again and find out everything about the three of them these past few days." Wang Chongyang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Several disciples left again.

"Let's go check out this Yunchai Restaurant."

Yu Guihai suddenly looked at the restaurant in front of him and said.

"What? Peak Master suspects that the Blood Demon is related to the Yunlai Restaurant?" Zhenjun Leng Yue, who had been listening, suddenly asked.

"Not necessarily, it's just that it's close here, and there are a lot of people working in the restaurant, and they all live there. If you ask more, you might find something."

Yu Guihai replied and took the lead into the restaurant.

There were disciples guarding the inside and outside of the restaurant, and the seven shopkeepers and assistant cooks were also under control.

"Did you hear anything unusual last night?"

Yu Guihai looked at everyone in the restaurant and asked.

"Senior, this disciple has never heard of it." Hearing this, the shopkeeper shook his head and said.

"The disciples never heard it."

"This disciple has always slept with his feces and never heard of it!" Others also denied it.

At a glance, Yu Guihai knew that none of them were lying, which meant that they did not notice anything unusual last night.

"The three people who were killed ate at your place before going on duty last night. Now take me to the place where they ate. Also, tell me what kind of food they ate, who cooked it and what ingredients were used."

Yu Guihai ordered.

"Huh?! Yes!" The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything and immediately called the cook and waiter to take Yu Guihai with him.

Soon after arriving at a private room on the second floor, the shopkeeper said: "Senior, Zhang Junbao and the other three are familiar with the disciples. They had dinner in this private room last night."

With that said, the shopkeeper opened the door and several people walked in.

The furnishings and decorations in the room are very luxurious, but the traces of the meal have long been cleaned up.

Yu Guihai looked around, then used the ghost soul chasing technique to look around, but found nothing.

"They ate pine flower elbow, four-flavor snake meat, wild boar stewed with blood spirit grass, and some ordinary meals." The waiter tried hard to recall.

Yu Guihai was noncommittal and walked all the way to the kitchen. The kitchen was very clean, and the various ingredients were sorted into categories and placed neatly but not cluttered.

"Did you cook the food?" Yu Guihai looked at the cook and asked.

The cook is a fat, dark man with a simple and honest appearance. He is very hard-working at first glance. His clothes are very clean, with no trace of oil stains visible.

"Senior, only the four-flavored snake meat and the wild boar stewed with blood spirit grass are made by the disciple. The disciple's family has a shallow herbal diet, so it is quite popular here. The other ordinary meals are made by the shopkeeper. Take the spoon," the black chef said naively.

"Yes, I cook the other ordinary meals. It's just because I know Zhang Junbao well that I cook. I don't usually do the cooking. There is also a second chef in charge." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Yu Guihai ignored the two of them, but quickly came to an empty display window and used the ghost chasing technique to investigate.

Then he asked: "What is kept here?"

"Spirit snake meat and blood spirit grass. That's what I used to cook for Zhang Junbao and the others that day." The shopkeeper's face changed slightly and he stammered in reply.

"There is a very faint smell of blood here. There is something wrong with these two ingredients." Yu Guihai said to Lord Leng Yue.

"Senior, I'm wronged. I didn't know this. The spirit snake meat and blood spirit grass were both bought from the logistics department." The shopkeeper's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt down to cry out.

"I didn't say it was you. I must have bought these ingredients from the logistics department." Yu Guihai said.

"Absolutely true."

"Zhenjun, I think I need to go to the logistics office."

"good!"

Late at night, Yu Guihai sat in the cave with a thoughtful look on his face.

What happened this time is basically certain. Zhang Junbao ate a meal cooked by the blood demon's hidden ingredients at the Yunchai Restaurant. As a result, the blood demon hid it on his body and was killed while on duty late at night.

However, when we arrived at the logistics office, the clues were cut off and no abnormalities were found. There is also some spiritual snake meat in the logistics department, which is from the same snake that is sold to the restaurant, but there is nothing wrong with this snake meat.

In this case, when did the blood demon attach itself to the spirit snake's flesh?

Although he had only been here for a day, Yu Guihai already felt that the Blood Demon Pass was full of fog and the water was very deep.

Once a monster like the Blood Demon is hidden in a living thing, it is extremely difficult to detect it. Even he has to be close to detect it. However, before it is hidden, the bloody atmosphere is overflowing and it can be easily discovered.

Therefore, once the blood demon breaks away from the biological body, it will be difficult to escape the discovery of human monks.

And how did that blood demon escape without a trace after killing three people last night? It is very likely that it is possessed by some person or creature.

"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, we will continue to go out of the city tomorrow to explore the traces of the Blood Demon King."

Yu Guihai couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking.

The next day, before Yu Guihai went out, a disciple came to report that another disciple on night watch was killed, this time in another location, far away from Yunlai Restaurant.

Yu Guihai felt that the Leng Yue Zhenjun had arrived at the scene.

This time, there were five Qi Refining disciples, two of whom were still in the Xiantian realm, but they all died. The way they died was the same as before, which should be caused by the blood demon. Looking at the scene, the five of them just struggled a little.

Yu Guihai performed the Netherworld Soul Chasing Technique, but he got nothing. There was no residual soul left at the scene, only a trace of the blood demon's bloody aura, as if it was a provocation.

"Did Master Yu Feng find anything?" Leng Yue Zhenjun asked coldly.

"No, the enemy seems to know my soul chasing technique, and there are no residual soul fragments left at the scene." Yu Guihai shook his head and replied.

At this time, Wang Chongyang ran from a distance and saluted the two of them, saying: "Report to the two Zhenjuns, I have inquired about the situation of these five people. There is no abnormality recently. They all ate at their own residence before going on duty last night, and they will meet up when they take over!"

"Order it down, strengthen the night patrol, and each area will have a real person leading the night patrol."

Leng Yue Zhenjun ordered coldly.

Then she looked at Yu Guihai and asked, "Does the Peak Master have any good ideas?"

"No. However, the method that the True Lord just proposed is not bad. If there is a True Lord leading the team, the Blood Demon will surely not be able to do evil again. In this case, I am relieved. I'd better go out of the city and continue to search for the traces of the Blood Demon King!" Yu Guihai replied.

"That's good!" True Lord Lengyue was silent for a while and said.

"It may take me a few days to go. Please take care of the things in the city."

"This is my job."

Yu Guihai then urged the black wooden boat to fly out of the city.
