"That was a big mess, and it caused great damage to the Demon Sect. I won't go into the details, but the undead child created by the Demon Sect using the blood erosion technique and blood vines was secretly controlled by an old demon called Blood Vine Patriarch using some special secret medicine."
"Because it is so easy and convenient to cultivate immortal children, almost every demon sect has many immortal children. As a result, a large number of demon sects have been infiltrated by the Blood Vine Ancestor. He wanted to use this to swallow up the demon sects and unify the demon path, but unfortunately he failed in the end."
"After him, the Demon Sect no longer dared to train Undead Children. Until thirty years ago, the Ghost Sect conducted some research and trained many Undead Children. However, in the end, all the other Undead Children died, and only one survived. He successfully advanced to the sixth level and obtained some strange magic source. He is the 'Blood Dark Undead Child'."
"Xue'an Undead Child is an extremely powerful assassin in the Ghost Extreme Sect. To be honest, I never thought that you could survive his assassination. Logically speaking, this is simply impossible."
Shi Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It's just luck." If this had happened two or three days earlier, he would have been dead.
Yueyaer folded her hands in front of her chest and said, "In other words, the one who wants to kill me is from this damn Ji Sect
Xu Xiaoyan said, "Yes, and this kind of secret training of singing girls, concubines, and all kinds of prostitutes, letting them infiltrate wealthy families, sounds like the style of the Guiji Sect. Women like this have a unique name in the Guiji Sect, called 'female ghosts'."
"Ghosts are intangible and unpredictable. These prostitutes of the Demon Sect who lurk in other sects are called 'female ghosts'. In the three sects of the Evil Lotus, women have a much higher status. They would never bother to train women to be concubines or singing girls for others. This is not in line with their purpose."
Shi Hao said: "The Demon Sect also has its purpose."
Xu Xiaoyan said unhappily, "How could a sect like this, which has been lurking in the dark for a long time and has been able to survive for hundreds of years, not have its own purpose? If there is no unified purpose, people's hearts would have been scattered long ago. Even the Ghost Extreme Sect has their own magic sect purpose."
"It's just that the purpose and philosophy of the Demon Sect must be psychologically twisted and shocking to many normal people."
Shi Hao thought about it and felt that it seemed to be right. It was indeed the truth.
He and Xu Xiaoyan looked at each other quietly, remembering that they had only taken a stroll in the "lower nine classes" that day when they were found by the Guiji Sect.
It seems that there is indeed a gang in Daxing City that has a close connection with the Guiji Sect and is the "white gloves" of the Guiji Sect.
Yueyaer said, "Your injury should not have healed yet, rest here first." She pointed at Xu Xiaoyan and said, "She will help me analyze the information."
Shi Hao stood up: "I'm fine..."
Yueyaer walked to the bedside and pushed him down directly: "How can you be okay? The doctor said that you have serious internal injuries. Lie down here. Don't worry, this is my room, no one dares to disturb you."
Shi Hao said: "I..."
Xu Xiaoyan said, "Well, you can just rest here. Leave the intelligence analysis to me. You'll just be a nuisance if you're there anyway."
Shi Hao had no choice but to lie down. To be fair, Xu Xiaoyan was indeed much better than him in intelligence analysis.
The collected information was placed downstairs, and Yueyaer and Xu Xiaoyan quickly walked out through the curtain.
Although the internal injuries have recovered, the bones still ache a little.
Shi Hao simply lay there and continued to sleep.
After a good sleep, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look when he heard some noise.
Following the rustling sound, he saw the slender figure facing him, taking off the colorful woolen clothes, revealing the smooth back and the knot of the coat tied on the back.
On the way, the girl looked back and he quickly closed his eyes again.
The girl changed into colorful clothes and went out again quickly.
This made Shi Hao, who had just had a good sleep and was in good spirits, feel like he was in a dilemma whether to get up or not.
I had to lie down for half an hour before I got up.
I stretched, put on my shoes, and went downstairs. In addition to Yueyaer who had changed into pink clothes and Xu Xiaoyan who still stayed here, I also saw Zhao Wencheng and his wife.
Seeing him coming down, Xu Xiaoyan said happily: "Jinlongmen's suspicion has been cleared. Some time ago, they did arrange a group of girls to come to Daxing City, but it was to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival.
"Those girls are from poor families. Jinlongmen has discussed this with their parents. At the Lantern Festival, these girls have to follow the lights and scatter flowers on them or perform, so they entered Daxing City in advance and were arranged to train."
He glanced at Yueyaer and said, "But they were obviously misled. Someone discovered their investigation and deliberately designed to lead the clues to Jinlongmen, so it turned out like this."
Yueyaer bowed to Zhao Wencheng and his wife and said, "This is all a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Zhao Wencheng and his wife were flattered and hurriedly returned the gift.
Shi Hao knew that even though it was a misunderstanding, if he had not chased him on the spot, with the interrogation method of the Eighteen Flying Riders of Zhui Lei, Zhao Wencheng would have been either dead or disabled.
Xu Xiaoyan said, "Jinlongmen's deputy leader, 'Drunken Spear' Shen Haixiong, has also been here. He didn't know what happened, so he followed his men here. We just discussed it with him based on the intelligence here, and we think the most suspicious one is the Leopard Sect among the three gangs and six associations."
Shi Hao asked: "Leopard Gate?"
Zhao Wencheng explained: "The Leopard Sect has developed very rapidly in Daxing City in the past few years. The leader Jiao Han is a fifth-rank master, but his specific origins are difficult to find out."
"The Leopard Sect is in the brothel business. There are many brothels in Daxing City. They were either built by them or acquired by them. We have also studied their methods of expanding their business, but we found that many of their transactions in the brothel are blind expansion without considering the cost. This is not doing business for the purpose of making money at all."
Shi Hao said: "It may also be that they want to monopolize the market and make a lot of money, so they invest a huge amount of money in the early stage."
Zhao Wencheng said: "The strange thing is that if you want to expand and form a monopoly, you must have a huge background. But the Leopard Sect originally had no foundation in Daxing City, and it didn't seem to have any background outside of Daxing City, but they had so much money to expand."
"Of course, only people like us who are good at calculating would think that there is something wrong. Most people only see that the Leopard Sect has opened brothels one after another and that they are enjoying unlimited glory. Because they cannot calculate the accounts, they do not know the risks behind this blind expansion."
"In addition, in addition to the leader Jiao Han, there are several sixth and seventh rank warriors in the Leopard Sect. They were not well-known in the martial arts world before, but they suddenly appeared in Daxing City."
Shi Hao seemed to be thinking: "From this point of view, the possibility that the Ghost Sect is behind the Leopard Sect should be quite high. They are engaged in the brothel business, even if it is to transfer and train girls, it is natural. Such a romantic place is also conducive to making friends with various wealthy families.
"Only a large organization like Guiji Sect can invest huge initial costs for them. At the same time, Guiji Sect was originally a demon sect and is good at hiding. This is also the main reason why the backstage of Baomen Sect is difficult to track down."
Yueyaer crossed her arms and said, "If it were just one or two things, it could be a coincidence, but if you add all these together, there shouldn't be anything else."
Zhao Wencheng whispered, "As far as I know, there is an extremely secret place of entertainment in Baomen, called Baogong. Most people don't know the existence of Baogong. Not only the dignitaries in Daxing City, but also the princes and nobles from other places would visit Baogong from time to time."
Yueyaer asked, "Who is the accountant in Leopard Sect?"
Shi Hao thought, you still want to play this game
Zhao Wencheng shook his head. "A big gang like this must have a main account book, but outsiders have no way of knowing it. We have some business dealings with Baomen, but basically when their brothels open, they ask Jinlongmen to help design the lottery and create the scene. There is not much communication in other places.
"There is almost no larger business dealings, so we have no way of knowing."
Shi Hao pondered for a while and asked, "Where is that Leopard Palace?"
Zhao Wencheng said: "I know this..."
Li Jingya turned to look at him.
Zhao Wencheng quickly explained: "Actually, I haven't been in there either. It was only the last two times when I was discussing business with the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce that the people there insisted on going to the Leopard Palace. I just accompanied them to the door and then waited for them outside."
Li Jingya asked: "Really?"
Zhao Wencheng hurriedly said: "It's true..."
Yueyaer smiled and said, "That's what all men say!"
Zhao Wencheng hurriedly said to Li Jingya: "Madam, I really didn't go in. At that time, there was also Liu San who drove the carriage, and Chen Da and Chen Er who escorted us. They can all testify..."
Yueyaer said: "They are all men, they concealed it together."
Zhao Wencheng almost knelt down to Yueyaer: "Miss, please don't say anything more, I really didn't go in."
Chapter 88 Leopard Palace
Seeing how anxious Zhao Wencheng was, everyone thought that either he really did not enter the Leopard Palace and was wrongly accused, or he was afraid of his wife.
Shi Hao said to Zhao Wencheng: "Tell me the location of the Leopard Palace."
Yueyaer and Xu Xiaoyan looked at him together.
Shi Hao whispered, "Maybe we can check it out and see if we can find any useful clues."
Zhao Wencheng told him where the Leopard Palace was, and then said, "But ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, cannot get in. The first time you go in, you must be accompanied by a regular customer of the Leopard Palace. The regular customers of the Leopard Palace are basically wealthy families or well-known figures in the government or gangs."
Shi Hao looked at Xu Xiaoyan.
Xu Xiaoyan took a step back and folded her hands over her chest: "You want me to accompany you to that kind of place?"
Yueyaer's eyes turned and she suddenly said, "Since only the wealthy and prominent people can go, how about I go?"
Everyone looked at her together... Stop it!
Is that a place for a rich lady like you to go
Yueyaer put her hands on her hips and said with a smile, "I will directly mobilize the troops and go there and tell them openly that I am going to investigate them. Anyway, they dare not do anything with the support of the Zutan and my Yueketai family. Humph, you dare to hire assassins to kill me, do you really think I am easy to bully?"
Xu Xiaoyan said, "It's useless! Even soldiers can't suppress a big gang like this for a few days. And if we bring soldiers in, we won't find anything. They have plenty of tricks."
Zhao Wencheng and Li Jingya could not help but nod their heads together... No matter how powerful the government is, it can only suppress the gangs, but it is difficult to eradicate them.
In which era, the government did not hope that there would be no more gangs in the world, that everything would be decided by the government, and that there would be no other powerful organizations except the government
But in fact, since ancient times, no dynasty has been able to truly do so.
Not to mention, although the current imperial court is powerful in terms of combat capability, it can no longer control the grassroots.
The Leopard Palace also used this place of entertainment to establish connections with many princes and nobles. Yueyaer had a backer, so it might be possible to ban her for a day or two, but any more than that would be wishful thinking.
Of course, on the other hand, if Yueyaer really led the officers and soldiers to "investigate", at least for that moment, the Leopard Gate would have to endure it no matter how dissatisfied they were.
After all, no matter how many connections they have, they are all in secret. On the surface, the court is the court and the gang is the gang.
Shi Hao said, "Let's see if we can sneak in and try to find some clues. If that doesn't work, we can think of other ways. It's hard to find anything useful from a gang like this that's involved with the Demon Sect by relying solely on the government."
Yueyaer crossed her arms and said, "If you need to dispatch troops, come to the Qionghuayuan Palace and tell me."
She gritted her teeth and said, "If Shi Hao hadn't been here today, I would have been dead! If I don't take revenge, I'm not a woman!"
Seeing her tigress's ferocious appearance, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan knew that this time, Leopard Sect was in real trouble, and Guiji Sect would also suffer heavy losses.
Of course, we can only say that Gui Ji Zong was really unlucky this time. Under normal circumstances, the Blood Dark Undead Child hid in Yueyaer's boudoir to kill people, and the Eighteen Thunder Chasers would be guarding outside and would not come in. It is very likely that no one would know that Yueyaer died in there.
Since the Blood-Dark Immortal Child was able to sneak in, he could naturally sneak out as well. By then, others would only know that Yueyaer was killed, but would have no idea which force did it.
Even if they found the Blood-Dark Undead Child, they would at most feel strange. How could the killer be a child
Only someone like Xu Xiaoyan, who has a deep understanding of the Demon Sect, can know that it is the "Blood Dark Immortal Child" based on the opponent's characteristics, weapons, and assassination methods.
I'm afraid most people in the underworld have never even heard of this killer, so there's no way to find him.
From this point of view, if Yueyaer had not brought Shi Hao to her "boudoir", she would have turned into a cold corpse by now.
—
At night, Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan sneaked into the streets of Daxing City together.
At this moment, they still used the Evil Shadow Disguise Technique and changed into a set of warrior's tight clothes. Shi Hao went to get Yingye's fierce knife.
They did not go directly to the Leopard Palace, but first passed through a flower street.
They noticed several gang members saw him, two of them quietly followed them, and the others quickly left.
They left, quickened their pace, shook off the two men, and hid on a tall building in the distance.
When they looked again, a large number of people had already spread out to search the place where they disappeared.
Shi Hao whispered: "Sure enough, behind the Leopard Sect is the Ghost Sect."
Those gang members were from the Leopard Sect. In order to obtain the Emerald Beauty, the Guiji Sect had obviously assigned their appearances to the Leopard Sect members so that they would always keep an eye on them.
The Leopard Clan is one of the three gangs and six clans in Daxing City. If they had no idea about this matter beforehand, they would have been surrounded and had no idea what was going on.
The reason why "Hei Rui Xuan Mei" Huan Tingting came to them was actually to warn them.
The three Evil Lotus sects all want the Emerald Beauty, but are afraid that they will fall into the hands of the Ghost Extreme Sect.
Shi Hao pulled Xu Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go!"
The two walked through dim alleys, sometimes climbing over walls to avoid the main road.
At night, Daxing City was not as quiet as imagined. From time to time, a few figures would jump out, guarding against them, while being guarded by them at the same time, and then they would go away.
In a quiet alley, two groups of people were killing each other, with swords flashing and corpses filling the ditch.
The areas near Flower Street are always the most lively, forming a sharp contrast with other areas.
Until we arrived at the outskirts of the Leopard Palace, there were flower towers all around. Behind the flower towers was a mountain, a circular mountain, and the Leopard Palace was inside that mountain.
If no one points the way, no one would have thought that there is something special about the mountains.
The two men used their skills to avoid the warriors scattered around the brothel.
The moonlight is very faint, but the surroundings are full of lights and wine, and the place is bustling.
There were open lanterns everywhere, with lanterns of various patterns, stretched out on the streets or hung from high up in the buildings in rows, which was a dazzling sight.
Cars were coming and going. Although it was already night, there were still merchants with rich minds, celebrities dressed in gorgeous clothes, and knights with swords on their waists, coming and going in an endless stream.
—A magnificent high-rise building, with three large characters "Drunk in Spring Breeze" inscribed on a golden plaque at the top.
This is the largest brothel in the area, and if you want to enter the Leopard Palace, you have to pass through this "Drunk Spring Breeze".
For many wealthy businessmen and gentry, this "intoxicating spring breeze" is enough to satisfy them, but only the real and prominent figures know that this large flower building, as gorgeous as if it were decorated with gold threads, is just a step leading to higher enjoyment.
Shi Hao and Xu Xiaoyan looked at each other.
