Hearing Fang Yu's words, Bie Huzi was taken aback.
"Lord, Thunder City is too far, our reach doesn't extend that far..."
Before Bie Huzi could finish, Fang Yu stared him down with his eyes, silencing him.
"We've raised so many Little Demons, not for nothing. To think we can't even send soone to gather information, what's the use of keeping them?"
Bie Huzi quickly bowed and said, "Lord, I understand what to do now."
"Mmm."
Fang Yu lightly touched his arm.
The [Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling: Broken Sleeve], wound around his arm through the clothes.
It seems that the absorption efficiency of the Evil Qi has diminished further this ti.
It seems necessary to ask around now, lest we capsize in the gutter.
Taking a deep breath, he turned and left.
Bie Huzi hurriedly followed, holding the lamp to lead the way in front.
Handling the ss can wait, serving the master is the priority.
Only after Fang Yu left the pharmacy did Bie Huzi start arranging for his subordinates to gather information on the Six Ghost Path Rats and prepare people for a trip to Thunder City.
Having made the arrangents, he returned to the secret chamber to deal with the body.
anwhile, Fang Yu was already on his way to the Foolish Underworld.
This ti, his target was to et the Lord Hall Masters directly.
Having promoted himself to Demon Foot, it was ti for the Foolish Underworld to show their hand.
If those old fools don't yield Gold Coins, it's really difficult for , as [Qi] is too hard to comprehend alone.
However, as soon as Fang Yu returned to the Foolish Underworld, soone was already waiting for him at the entrance.
[Han ngyu: 500/500.]
"Mr. Diao..."
Fang Yu was slightly surprised and also felt a bit of irony.
The ranking officer he used to address as Lord had now changed positions with him.
"Han ngyu, what are you doing at the entrance?"
"Mr. Diao, thieves were spotted in your residence yesterday. I led the team to pursue them unsuccessfully, and during the subsequent search, we discovered that the individual had mysteriously disappeared."
Fang Yu frowned.
"I'm already aware of this, you don't need to worry about it anymore, I will personally lead the search."
Staging his own play should ensure nothing goes wrong, bringing him here would indeed risk uncovering sothing.
Fang Yu intended to gloss over the matter, but Han ngyu spoke up.
"Mr. Diao, although I didn't find anything, during my investigation, I discovered that the individual vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace."
"So rumors suggest that a demon was spotted around Shiheng Street—I suspect... that person transford into a demon. Now injured, they are hiding near Shiheng Street and preying on people. This explains everything!"
"If you wish to thoroughly investigate, I am willing to lead the team, alongside other ranking officers, to encircle Shiheng Street and search for this demon!"
Fang Yu was slightly taken aback in his heart.
Han ngyu had reached such conclusions?
Lately, have I been too focused on status over competence? Sotis, the ability to handle matters doesn't correlate much with vitality or power.
Fortunately, Han ngyu was cautious, worried about the demon's strength and didn't act alone. Instead, he ca to report and apply for a joint operation, probably also hoping for to oversee the demon hunt. Otherwise, by this morning, Han ngyu might have discovered on Shiheng Street...
Clearing his throat, Fang Yu spoke.
"rely having a demon spotted at Shiheng Street and deducing it's the thief might be a bit hasty. However, the information you've provided is indeed valuable. Let's skip the joint operation, it would attract too much attention. I'll personally investigate first, so as not to alert them prematurely."
Han ngyu's deduction was indeed based on years of experience and intuition, not daring to claim it was 100% accurate, so he didn't refute Fang Yu's statent and just nodded.
"If you, Lord, would personally take action, that would certainly be best. Even if we ranking officers could capture the demon, casualties would likely occur."
Fang Yu nodded slightly, showing understanding, and was about to leave when Han ngyu suddenly said.
"Lord!"
"What is it?"
"...Lord Li Baizhen, how is he doing?"
Han ngyu was looking down, so his exact expression couldn't be seen, but from the slight trembling in his shoulders, he appeared sowhat afraid of the answer.
So, aside from myself, others in the Foolish Underworld care about Lord Li Baizhen's situation?
But... I rember you didn't quite get along with Lord Li Baizhen.
Fang Yu scratched his head and said.
"The situation is still unclear; Ding Hui is still treating him. I will inform you if there are any new developnts."
"...Thank you, Lord!"
Han ngyu bowed deeply at ninety degrees, watching as Fang Yu walked away.
Just as he left Han ngyu, Fang Yu heard soone calling from behind.
"Diao, Diao Deyi!"
In the Foolish Underworld, not many called him by his na.
Fang Yu turned around to see it was Suo Fengxiang.
Suo Fengxiang looked haggard, seemingly troubled, and although she stopped Fang Yu, she seed distracted.
"Senior Sister Suo, what's wrong? Did sothing happen?"
Suo Fengxiang then managed a strained smile.
"Nothing much, it's just... I can't find Senior Brother You."
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.
I almost forgot about that [Evil Leopard Demon], who was caught in yesterday's demon battle.
The [Evil Leopard Demon] is actually replacing You Shuyang.
Strictly speaking, You's disappearance happened quite a long ti ago...
Fang Yu reassured her.
"Maybe Senior Brother You has gone off on so business again."
"It can't be, right? Even soone as strong as Senior Brother You would rest for a few days after completing a task before taking on another."
Fang Yu shrugged.
"I'm not sure, perhaps it's Lady Zhuo Xueer or soone upper rank who's assigned him a secret mission."
