69 Inexplicable Chill

The restaurant is the family property of a certain nobleman, and those who can come here are all rich. Even dining in the lobby on the first floor, the expenses are astronomical for ordinary people.

Shen Ao looked for the source and went from the top floor to the middle floor. The pointer pointed to one of the private rooms. He kicked it open. There were some dandy boys inside, drinking and enjoying themselves.

Everyone felt very unhappy when the door was violently kicked open, but when they took a closer look at the man in golden armor, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say anything.

The general who protects the country is a high-ranking figure to them. At this time, he is coming fiercely. Is it possible that one of them has committed some serious crime?

Shen Ao's eyes swept over everyone present, and the dandy boys lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at him.

"Everyone stand up." Shen Ao knew that this group of cowardly cowards could not be behind the scenes, but they were descendants of nobles after all. There was a demon king above the fifth level of divine transformation hidden here, so they should be protected.

No one dared to disobey, everyone obeyed.

"Come here." Shen Ao called people to him one by one, while paying attention to the compass' direction.

After a while, everyone was called out of the room. The compass did not change. Shen Ao knew that the murderer was still hiding in the room and sneered: "Come out, stop hiding."

No response.

After changing back to his original form, Liu Xu, who was hiding behind the mural, was not stupid. He had been hiding for thousands of years, and this was not the first time he was hunted down. He was very confident in his ability to hide.

Although he didn't know what went wrong this time, he believed that he would always escape a disaster, just like before.

Shen Ao took out his weapon and stood quietly in front of the mural. The compass pointed directly at the mural. Although Shen Ao didn't know where the demon was hiding, he did not hesitate. He directly penetrated the wall with his knife. The mural turned into debris. A catkin flew out from the hole in the wall and gradually turned into a The obscene human figure spitting out green juice fell heavily onto the street outside the restaurant.

"Impossible!" Liu Xu got up in shock. How did the other party accurately find his hiding place?

"A mere wood demon dares to cause trouble in the imperial city. I advise you to surrender and capture him. You have no way to escape." Shen Ao slowly descended from the sky, like a god of war descending to earth. He didn't use all his strength in that move just now, otherwise the attack from the sixth level of divine transformation would be enough to instantly kill Liu Xu, who thought he was safe and didn't take any precautions.

How could a normal demon be captured without any help? Liu Xu wanted to escape, but the elite soldiers around him had already set up a powerful formation. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice on the fifth level of the Transformation God was in charge of the formation, and there was no way to break through.

Don't be afraid, Master Peng will definitely save me!

Liu Xu raised his head and looked towards the top floor, but did not find Master Peng at all.

Liu Xu knew at this moment that Master Peng was ready to abandon him.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Once you come forward to negotiate with the human race, Master Peng will be punished by the family afterwards. It is impossible for him to take risks because of a demon with no background like him.

"Catch the demon!" Shen Ao gave an order and activated the formation. Liu Xuneng's range of movement became smaller and smaller, and he didn't even intend to resist.

Since he was abandoned, Liu Xu also decided to confess everything after being caught, showing that he only accepted the order to see if he could exchange for a chance of survival.

Unfortunately, it backfired. An extremely powerful light from an unknown magic weapon fell from the sky and hit Liu Xu directly. Liu Xu didn't even have time to scream, and was instantly wiped out. The surrounding guards were also injured by the aftermath.

Shen Ao had experienced many battles and reacted extremely quickly. He immediately rushed into the air, but there was no suspicious figure anywhere, and he didn't even know from which direction the attack came.

"His tits! You're just playing dirty tricks, aren't you?" Shen Ao yelled. Just as he was about to catch the murderer, he didn't expect that his accomplices would silence him at the critical moment.

"Everyone in the vicinity must be inspected for the demon-hunting magic weapon! Anyone who refuses will be shot to death!" Shen Ao immediately sealed off the scene and organized manpower.

On the top floor of the restaurant, Master Peng looked calm, drinking tea as if nothing had happened. If anyone can kill Liu Xu instantly and avoid detection immediately, he is the only one who is at the tenth level of the Demon King.

The demon kings who had been asked to leave before now returned to the room, all of them looking extremely nervous.

They know Master Peng's temperament well. To say he is generous, he is really generous, but to say he is ruthless, he is really ruthless.

If Liu Xu is caught, he will undoubtedly become a burden. Only by eliminating the burden can he not be a drag.

"Master Peng, the human race plans to use magic weapons to search for us on a large scale..."

"Take this, you can avoid detection." Master Peng waved his hand, and each demon king got a delicate bead in his hand.

The demon kings have calmed down a lot. If they can avoid detection, they can still be saved. They are really afraid that Master Peng will abandon them like Liuxu. After all, with Master Peng's identity and status, his followers can be replaced at any time.

As for Liu Xu's death, they didn't care at all. Willow Beard is a half-born wood demon. They are born monsters and they look down on Willow Beard.

"Master Peng, what should we do now?"

"Wait. When they find the murderer, they will naturally disarm the formation. Don't cause trouble during this period, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes." The demon kings are not stupid. In this sensitive period, who dares to act recklessly?

The imperial city guards acted very quickly, and someone came to the door for testing in about an hour.

The demon kings were fearless, but the magic weapon did not respond. After the guards left, the demon kings wanted to find a place to sit down and practice to kill time. At this time, Master Peng gave them a task.

"Telling you not to cause trouble doesn't mean that you all stay here. Go out and find out the news for me, young master, where did the human race get the magic weapon, and how did they find out Liu Xu's whereabouts."

Hearing this, the demon kings rushed out of the room. This was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

"Don't let me know who did it!" Master Peng slammed the table, and the sturdy special stone table instantly broke into pieces.

Liu Xu's ability is very special. Compared with other demon kings, Master Peng is more optimistic about Liu Xu. Being ruthless and decisive doesn't mean he doesn't care about his talents. How could he be happy after something like this happened?

————Royal Palace

Ye Yong, who was called to the Royal Garden for night tea by Zhou Suren, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

"What's wrong?" Qin Shimeng was sitting next to him and naturally noticed that Ye Yong was shaking for a moment.

"It's okay." Ye Yong also found it quite strange. How could he feel so cold when he was so good? But it was winter, so I didn’t think much about it.

Zhou Suren and Ye Wen were chatting. At this time, Shen Ao, who was wearing golden armor, came over, bowed his hands to Zhou Suren, lowered his head and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, please punish me! I failed to catch the criminal!"

"Oh?" The sky was already a little bright at this time. From 0:00 to now, at least more than two hours have passed. Zhou Suren has always believed in Shen Ao's ability and obviously did not expect this result: "Elaborate ”

Shen Ao will capture the wood demon, kill the wood demon, and recount the process of a large-scale investigation of his accomplices.

"In other words, there is a more powerful demon hiding in the imperial city?" Zhou Suren pondered: "What is the connection between Mei Renxing and the demon? Why did you take the risk and come to the human city to assassinate him?"

Ye Yong also fell into thinking. There is no such plot in the novel. Could it be that he triggered another butterfly effect?
