Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Evil Spirit, You’re Just Too Flirtatious

Taking advantage of Song Jingsong gathering the people, Wei Fan strolled to the City Lord’s corpse and uncovered the white cloth.

The Cloud City Lord had no visible injuries, the body was intact, but though it had been less than a day since death, it was already turning black as if from poisoning.

"What a tragic death!"

What satisfied Wei Fan was the twisted expression on the Cloud City Lord’s face, as if he’d been tortured before death, far from peaceful.

That fellow had been the City Lord of Yun City for decades, never did anything humane, let demons inside and outside the city eat people without questioning it, and even condoned collusion between his clerk and demon fiends without punishment, suppressing even me.

Now killed by demon fiends, it’s a fitting retribution.

"Song Jingsong, why did you call me here? I’m busy heading to Su City, you better have a good explanation for me!"

A voice full of anger suddenly rang out.

Wei Fan looked over, seeing a richly dressed young man stepping through the office gate.

"His name is Pan Yun, the City Lord’s second son, a spoiled brat. His father died and he acts like it’s nothing," Hu Qing whispered beside Wei Fan.

Wei Fan nodded, never having met the City Lord before, naturally he didn’t know who his son was.

Wei Fan didn’t know if he was a spoiled brat, but Pan Yun sure didn’t look like someone whose father had just died.

Song Jingsong’s face darkened at these words, thinking your City Lord father is dead, and you still act high and mighty?

"We’re here to find the demon fiend that killed the City Lord. Everyone who was here last night needs to be gathered, Second Young Master, please cooperate."

Pan Yun sneered: "You useless lot, what can you find out? Don’t delay me from fleeing to Su City for safety!"

Song Jingsong was visibly angry but held back.

Being the City Lord of Yun City for decades, the Pan Family certainly had backing. Even with his father dead, Pan Yun’s arrogance showed his confidence.

At that moment, Wei Qingyuan eagerly ran to Pan Yun, whispering in his ear.

"What? That dog Wei Fan is here, Song Jingsong, why haven’t you arrested this person colluding with demon fiends?"

Pan Yun suddenly erupted in anger, evidently informed by Wei Qingyuan of Wei Fan’s presence.

Song Jingsong did not move, sternly said, "Second Young Master, please do not listen to the slanders of others, there is no evidence that Chief Wei is colluding with demon fiends. If he was, he wouldn’t be here.

Now that the City Lord is dead, it’s best to find that demon fiend and destroy it, otherwise, I’m afraid you might face danger before even reaching Su City.

Everyone knows Wei Clerk’s brother-in-law’s family colluded with demon fiends and was uprooted by Chief Wei, he hates Chief Wei to the core, think carefully, Second Young Master, those who are dead are from the City Lord’s Mansion, not Wei Clerk’s family, anyway, arresting Chief Wei won’t harm his family."

Upon hearing this, Pan Yun’s expression changed several times.

Song Jingsong had a point, those who were dead were from the City Lord’s Mansion. Even if he planned to flee to Su City for safety, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t die on the way.

Previously, although Wei Fan let things slip, resulting in his father’s death, arresting Wei Fan now would only benefit Wei Qingyuan, while those aligned with the City Lord’s Mansion would continue to suffer at the hands of demon fiends.

It’s not the right time to deal with that Chief Wei Fan.

"How dare you try to use me as a pawn!"

Pan Yun slapped Wei Qingyuan across the face, drew blood from Wei Qingyuan’s mouth.

"Song Jingsong!"

He dared not retaliate but instead turned his venomous gaze toward Song Jingsong, who had foiled his plans.

"This must be Chief Wei, indeed a man of extraordinary talent. Rest assured in your investigation, if anyone dares to trip you up, I’ll help you set them straight!"

Pan Yun changed his tune faster than a book flipping pages.

Moments before, he was calling for Wei Fan’s arrest, and now he was praising him with a sycophantic grin.

He hid it well, but Wei Fan still sensed the murderous intent deep in his eyes.

After a while, most of the people were gathered, Song Jingsong approached Wei Fan and said: "Except for two other Captains who couldn’t make it, everyone else is here. Even the maids and servants from the City Lord’s Mansion have been summoned."

Whether they couldn’t make it or didn’t want to, Wei Fan didn’t care.

The demon fiend that killed the City Lord was unlikely to be on those two Captains.

"Thank you, Captain Song, I will do my best!"

Wei Fan gripped the handle of his knife, starting to inspect the gathered crowd one by one. Starting with the City Lord’s Mansion staff, after looking at over a dozen, the panel suddenly lit up:

[Evil Spirit: True Demon Second Grade, born of resentment, feeds on human souls]

[Slay it to gain 100 years of power]

Demon fiends; in fact, demons and fiends are different entities, with fiends being much more enigmatic and savage.

Wei Fan’s heart felt a tremor; he truly found the hidden demon fiend.

Before him was a scantily clad, pretty-faced woman, her two large breasts almost bursting through her clothing.

As Wei Fan’s gaze fell upon her, she gave a shy expression, blushing and lowering her head.

"Truly bizarre!"

Wei Fan scrutinized her up and down, finding nothing amiss. Her essence, qi, and spirit appeared normal, lacking the stench typical of demons.

If not for the panel’s prompt, he would never have guessed that the woman before him had been possessed and transformed into an evil spirit, which explained why all the Captains and governmental officers had been helpless.

Unless they killed each person in the City Lord’s Mansion, they wouldn’t be able to pinpoint the demon fiend.

"Why... are you staring at me like that?"

As if unable to bear Wei Fan’s gaze, the woman shyly spoke up.

At her words, Song Jingsong and others showed perplexed looks.

Because this woman was the City Lord’s favorite concubine, even when fleeing to the Government Office, he hadn’t forgotten to spend time with her, showing her enchanting allure.

Being men, their eyes were naturally drawn to this woman as well.

These governmental officers had even seen her naked that morning, now reminiscing.

"Because you’re too seductive!"

Wei Fan suddenly quipped, stunning everyone into a momentary stupor. They all thought he was flirting with the City Lord’s concubine— even the demon fiend itself was taken aback, not expecting Wei Fan to speak such words publicly.

But in the next moment, there was the clang of cold steel, and a flash of blade sliced through everyone’s vision, slicing the City Lord’s concubine in half with a splatter.

"Wei Fan, what are you doing? No need to kill even if you’re teasing someone!"

Hu Qing shouted, while the others were dumbfounded, staring at the City Lord’s concubine now bisected by Wei Fan.

Wei Fan roared, "Fools, she’s a demon fiend, get back!"

Boom!

With that shout, everyone realized, running in terror. The demon fiend had already possessed the City Lord’s concubine.

Even if Wei Fan was audacious, he wouldn’t tease and kill.

And at that moment, they all noticed the anomaly—the City Lord’s concubine, cut into two by Wei Fan, didn’t spill a single drop of blood.

"Screech..."

A piercing scream emanated from within the concubine’s corpse, followed by a spectral form drifting out, lunging toward Wei Fan.

The specter had wild hair, glowing faintly red, as if steeped in blood.

No demon qi, no demonic qi, and lacking any soul-stirring aura, yet more terrifying.

"Meddler!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

A teeth-grinding voice escaped the specter’s mouth, morphing into a red light aiming to penetrate Wei Fan’s body instantly.

Wei Fan remained expressionless, his blade emitting a flash of violet True Qi, and with a flick of the blade tip, the red light was bounced away like a ball, inadvertently flying into Wei Qingyuan’s body where it vanished.
