It seemed that using the reverse origin had consumed a lot of energy. No wonder he didn’t want to help. He said,”East City, Little Six Restaurant!”
“Where?” Zhang Ronghua frowned.
“You know about it?”
“That place is the Earth Fiend’s branch in the capital. Previously, it was wiped out by me. I didn’t expect that these guys were still hiding there, playing under the light.’
Looking at Little Four, Zhang Ronghua said,”Have a good rest. I’ll ask her to cook three tables of feast later.’
He called out.
“Let’s go!”
Yang Hongling also knew that time was of the essence. She had to catch them as soon as possible and solve the case as soon as possible. If they sensed the wind and escaped, it would take more effort to catch them.
After leaving the Fate Academy, the two of them rushed to the Little Six Restaurant in the eastern part of the city without stopping.
It had been some time since Old Ghost, Iron Demon, and the others were killed, and Little Six Restaurant was sealed. Even now, the door of the restaurant was still sealed.
The strange thing was…
After such a long time, this property had not been dealt with by the government.
In the capital, even a toilet was worth a fortune. The restaurant was so big and the location was not bad. If it was auctioned, it would cost at least a few hundred thousand taels.
With the government’s greedy nature, they actually didn’t make a move!
On the surface, Little Six Restaurant was still the same as before. It was deserted and lifeless, but there was a hidden world underground.
Previously, when Zhang Ronghua brought his men to destroy this place, they had searched it once. There was no secret room or secret room.
It had only been a short period of time, and they had built an underground secret chamber in such a short period of time. Moreover, they were able to hide it from the surrounding people. Combined with the above information, the East City County Government was not clean. There were their people!
Underground, there was a huge secret chamber that was as large as an acre.
It was divided into two parts. The middle part was separated by a wall. On the left side was a huge blood pool. Some young women were hanging on the wall. Some were dead, some were still alive. Whether they were dead or alive, they all had one thing in common. Their ankles were cut open, and blood flowed out of the wound and dripped into the blood groove below. Then, it flowed into the blood pool.
These blood grooves were also engraved with an array formation. It was only a low-grade yellow-grade array formation. Its power was average, and its effect was very simple. It sucked blood! It would make their blood flow faster until it was all gone!
Their mouths were stuffed with a piece of cloth, and their hands and feet were tied. They wanted to ask for help, but the sounds they made turned into choked sobs. Their intense struggle was useless, but it made their blood flow faster.
Their faces were filled with despair. and their eves were dead. There was no
hope of survival.
There was also an array formation set up in the blood pool. It could purify the blood and make it purer without any impurities.
There were a total of four people. They were dressed in black and wore a hood, revealing only their eyes. The division of labor was clear. Two of them were responsible for storing the purified blood essence, and the remaining two were responsible for handling the corpse.
The right side of the hall was luxuriously decorated. There were tables, chairs, soft cushions, and everything else. In the middle of the hall, there was an expensive sandalwood incense. An old man in a green Taoist robe with snow-white hair sat cross-legged on the soft cushion. He looked kind and looked like an old man from the neighborhood. There was a piece of dust placed between his legs. His name was Taoist Priest Xuan Ci. He was a Taoist priest, but his real identity was the sect master of the Earth Fiend. As long as he had the right money, he would do all kinds of bad things. He would kill, set fire, and rob. Or exterminate an entire family, and so on.
In the martial world, especially near the capital, the Earth Fiend had a bad reputation, but it was also very big. It was deeply liked by some people!
Behind him was a beautiful young woman kneeling. She was not wearing any clothes, but a thin coat that was as thin as a cicada’s wing, revealing a large part of her body. She was mature and alluring. Her two jade arms were pinching his shoulders, and her face was fawning. Her name was Mei Niang, the deputy sect master of Earth Fiend. Although her cultivation was not good, she was in charge of daily work and was deeply loved by Taoist Master Xuan Ci.
Mei Niang revealed a worried expression and voiced out the doubts in her heart, “The capital is in such a mess now. If we take their job and collect the blood of the women waiting for the pavilion and purify it for them, will the True Dragon Palace investigate?”
Taoist Priest Xuan Ci took a bunch of grapes that had been washed by the side, picked one, and threw it into his mouth. He spat out the grape skin, shook his head, and said with certainty,”No! “There are so many people in the capital city. We’ve investigated some of them before we started. The families of these women don’t have much power. They don’t have any high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Even if some of them are officials, they’re just minor officials. Plus, we’ve scattered our actions and caught some of them in each market. Even if their families report to the government, the government will try to break the case if they can. If they can’t, they will delay the case. If they can’t, they will shirk the responsibility. If they want to alert the departments like the True Dragon Palace, they will have to get some big shots involved!’”‘
He took the initiative to ask.
“Have you investigated Zhang Ronghua’s information?”
“Yes.” Mei Niang replied softly.
He’s only at the sixth tier of the Zongshi realm. He has made some contributions recently and was transferred to the Scholar Hall by the Crown Prince. He has already become the manager and is in charge of the daily affairs of the Scholar Hall. We’ve also investigated the situation at home. Zhang Qin’s cultivation is average, and there are still some guards in the residence. There aren’t many who can fight. It was the same for Zheng Shan’s family. Other than Zheng Fugui, who was barely enough to look at, the rest could be killed at will!”
“We still haven’t found the person who killed Lady Blood Hand?”
“We’re still investigating!”
Taoist Master Xuan Ci used a little strength to spit out the grape skin in his mouth and sent it flying into the wall. He narrowed his eyes and his killing intent soared.”Once we extract their blood, the mission will be considered complete! At that time, he would send their family on their way..”
