Chapter 311 Don’t lead the apprentice astray (5)
The distant aunt followed her great nephew back to the inn where he was staying. After agreeing with Meng Xiang on the time and place to meet the next day, the three of them separated.
Yun Qian glanced at the street through the window of her room. It was getting late and the people on the street had almost dispersed. She looked away and closed the window.
"Master, is it really okay for you to get involved in this matter?" Kou Bai picked up the white porcelain cup on the table and poured Yun Qian a cup of tea.
Yun Qian came over and sat down, "The rules are strict and punishment is inevitable, but we should resolve the current matter first."
"Meng Xiang can't handle it alone."
Yun Qian looked solemn, and she took a sip of tea, "It's strange. Normally, there should be very few demons like this coming out to do evil without restraint. Why is it like today?"
The fairy world has its commandments, and the demon clan has its rules. The three clans are currently in a delicate state of balance. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
There must be some reason that directly caused this to happen.
"The current demon king of the demon clan died inexplicably. Now the demon clan is leaderless. It is probably because no one is in charge." Kou Bai lowered his eyes and spoke lightly.
Yun Qian was surprised for a moment: "Dead? So sudden?"
Kou Bai nodded slightly.
"How could this be so..." Yun Qian murmured to herself, and then she asked doubtfully: "How did you know?"
I don't know why, but when Yun Qian asked, Kou Bai's eyes dodge for a moment, which was not obvious.
He said: "When I subdued that little devil a few days ago, I heard him mention a few words."
The people of the demon clan naturally have a better understanding of what is happening in their own clan.
"Did he say anything else?" Yun Qian asked.
"He also said that as soon as the Demon Lord died, his former right-hand man and right-hand man turned against him. Now he is fighting to the death for the position of the Demon Lord, and he doesn't have much time to care about the people below him."
No wonder, Yun Qian thought, no wonder so many demons came out to cause trouble. It turned out that there was no one to control them.
"This is difficult to handle." Yun Qian frowned.
Kou Bai curled his eyebrows and smiled, "Master, think about these things tomorrow, your disguise hasn't faded yet."
Yun Qian then remembered that she was still disguised, but she did not take off the disguise immediately. Instead, she looked at Kou Bai with a smile: "What's wrong, my dear nephew, doesn't my face look good?"
"Good nephew" sighed helplessly: "Master..."
"Okay, now that my apprentice is older, I don't need to be teased anymore." Yun Qian pretended to sigh deeply.
"Master!"
"It's wrong, it's wrong, let's make a joke."

Late at night, on the eerily quiet streets, a man was walking staggeringly like a zombie, his head drooped, his limbs as if they had just been attached, and his movements stiff.
But soon, after taking a few steps, the man's walking posture became normal and gradually became no different from ordinary people.
The man raised his head, his pupils were dilated, and the black eyeballs almost occupied the entire eye socket. He looked very scary, and his body was that of a burly young man.
"Although this body doesn't look good, it's in good shape and can be used temporarily for a day or two." The man made a hoarse and jerky voice.
He walked leisurely on the deserted street.Suddenly, his nose moved, as if he smelled something, and his black pupils lit up.
Following the smell, he walked towards the fork in the road on the right. In front of him was a tall young man with a straight back, meticulously tied hair, and clean white robes that were incompatible with the surrounding darkness.
Such a good skin can be said to be very attractive to him, and he began to dislike the body he possessed.
"If you take off this appearance, maybe you can taste what it's like to be a human girl." He thought to himself, with unsatisfied greed in his eyes.
The next second, a black mist emerged from the originally burly man's body. The man's body lost support and fell to the ground instantly, with abnormal blackness remaining on his fingertips.
Black mist rushed straight towards the tall young man in front of him. Just when he was about to approach the young man, a sword stood between Black mist and the young man. Although Black mist had no form, it was clear that he paused urgently.
After that, the young man in front of him suddenly disappeared. Hei Wu realized something was wrong and wanted to run away, but found that he seemed to be tightly bound by something, unable to find any opening to escape.
"Do you think you are doing something very clever?" The cold voice was tinged with the chill of the night, and the black mist froze slightly.
"Who are you?" Hei Wu shouted loudly, his hoarse voice slightly broken due to the sudden rise in pitch, making it appear harsh.
The black mist was controlled to rotate, and then faced a pair of blood-colored pupils. He wore an exquisite silver mask on his face. The mask blocked the upper half of his face, only revealing his graceful lips and a high bridge of nose. The skin color is extremely cold white set off by the silver mask.
Kou Bai's lips curved in a playful manner, "You don't need to know who I am."
"You just need to know that I'm here to kill you."
The black mist became violent almost instantly, roaring and enlarging the thing that restrained him, "I don't know you, and I have no enmity with you, why do you want my life?"
The thing that restrained him was too strong, or in other words, the force that restrained him was too arrogant. The black mist only expanded it, and then restrained the black mist tighter.
This is a complete crushing of power!
The playful curve of the boy's mouth turned bloodthirsty, but the emotion in his blood-colored pupils was very light, "I can't help it, who made you involve someone you shouldn't involve."
In the end, Hei Wu didn't know who he was involved with and who he shouldn't be involved with. The last thing he saw was the cold blood-colored pupils under the young man's mask shining strangely.
If the black mist has an entity, then his body must be like the many people he possessed and left, dying with no eyes open.
The body of the burly man was discovered early the next morning by a vendor who got up early to set up a stall. Yun Qian and others rushed to the government after receiving the news.
Yun Qian got permission from the government officials and went in to check the corpse. It was exactly the same as the previous corpses and was made by that demon.
"It must have been him who did it. There is nothing wrong with it." Meng Xiang frowned tightly and spoke firmly.
Yun Qian leaned over and looked at the hands and faces of several corpses, and found something wrong: "The remaining traces of magic power on their hands were gone."
The fingernails had turned into the pale color of a normal dead person. Yun Qian used her fairy power to explore and found no more traces of magic power. It was as if... it was as if they had never existed at all.
Generally, there is only one reason why this phenomenon of magic power disappearing is that the demon that used evil magic on them is dead.
Meng Xiang was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Senior, are you saying that the demon may be dead?"
Yun Qian straightened up and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Kou Bai stood next to Yun Qian, glancing at the corpses casually, and then turned away indifferently. Only when his eyes touched his master did he gain some warmth.
"You can take a look at your mission statement." Yun Qian said.
The task book is said to be a book, but in fact it is just a piece of paper created by magic. After completing the task, the name or code name of the task object will turn red.
Meng Xiang quickly took out his mission book and found that the name of the mission target on the mission book turned red, indicating that the demon was really dead.
"But...who could it be?" Meng Xiang asked.
Yun Qian thought of what Kou Baitong said about the current situation of the demon clan, and could not rule out that it was the result of the demon clan hurting each other: "Maybe they killed each other."
As soon as the word "cannibalism" came out, Kou Bai rubbed his nose with his fingers and said nothing.
