Without saying a word, Mu Yuan threw the dagger directly.
The moment Li Huaiyun received the dagger, his whole body suddenly felt cold. The cold air entered from his palm and quickly traveled throughout his body.
He felt like his body couldn't use any strength at all.
Is this the impact of extreme cold on the body? Maybe my level is too low,
Li Huaiyun waved his arms lightly, adjusting his body condition and trying to keep his body in a normal state.
This weapon is indeed not something ordinary people can hold. He threw the dagger back into Mu Yuan's hands, "This weapon is not suitable!"
"It's normal. If the Yin energy is too strong, it's not suitable for ordinary people! Next time the old man asks you to choose a spiritual weapon, I suggest you choose one that is more defensive!"
Li Huaiyun raised his fist, "That's not necessary. I think offense is the best defense."
"Hmph! Young! Defense can save lives for the most part. Didn't the old man mention it to you when he asked you to come?"
"No!"
Li Huaiyun found that Mu Yuan's attitude towards Sikyong was very special. On the one hand, it was the relationship between master and apprentice, and on the other hand, it might be the identity of this woman.
Suddenly an idea came to his mind, so he clasped his fists and bowed in salute, "Mu Yuan, I have something to do and I want to ask you for a favor!"
Mu Yuan was a little curious about this, "What's the matter?"
"I hope you can help me and persuade Sikyong to let that fox demon go!"
"Last time in prison, you used your token as a guarantee, but after the case was solved, Sikyong refused to release him because he was a monster. That would cause you to lose your token!"
"The token is secondary! However, based on my understanding of Old Man Qin, what he decided will never be changed! Let alone let go of the fox demon! There are lessons learned from the past!"
"What are the lessons learned?"
"You don't need to ask any more questions!"
"Hey!" Li Huaiyun sighed. Since Mu Yuan said so, there must be nothing he can do.
As a result, there is nothing I can do about it.
Mu Yuan saw that Li Huaiyun looked a little disappointed and felt that this man's thoughts were a bit strange. "Actually, I agree with the old man's approach. As for tokens, it doesn't matter at all. Monsters cannot be treated in the same way as ordinary people."
"I remember when I was sensible, my parents taught me that I should keep my promises. This is also the reason why they were able to expand the medicinal materials business, because some of the hard-to-find medicinal materials in the family were traded with monsters."
Li Huaiyun pursed his lips, "Although they also died in the hands of monsters later."
"You have to know that the monster has harmed many people. Your behavior may have serious consequences."
"According to what I said, the best way to deal with monsters is to destroy them, because no matter what they are, they are monsters and will not be kind to people at all!"
"I agree with your opinion, but I still believe that promises must be kept."
"Since your parents died at the hands of monsters, you should hate monsters, but your current attitude?"
"Pointless hatred has no effect. It was not the monster that killed my parents!"
Mu Yuan instantly understood what he was thinking. This guy wanted to let the fox demon go. His purpose was probably to let the fox demon help him find clues about the monster that killed his parents.
But will the fox demon really help?
This matter aroused Mu Yuan's interest, and she said, "Since you have this purpose, let me help you once!"
"Really? Are you really going to help me and plead with Sikyong to let the fox demon go?"
"Tch! Do you think it's possible? That old man is very stubborn, and it's useless to beg."
"That..."
"Of course, go directly to the prison and release the fox demon directly," Mu Yuan said, "I have my own way, but there is a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Who will take the blame!"
Li Huaiyun immediately clasped his fists and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Mu Yuan helmsman, it was done by one of his subordinates."
Mu Yuan got the response she wanted, "Very good! It's not in vain for me to help you!" She waved her hand, "Let's go! Let's go to the Demon Prison!"
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan left Qianji Pavilion. They deliberately chose a place with few people and headed to the prison.
When they came to the door of the prison, two guards stopped them, "Master Muyuan, what are you doing here?"
"Sikyong asked me to be responsible for interrogating the monsters in the prison."
The guards looked at each other and said, "Sorry! Captain, we don't seem to have received anything like this..."
"I don't blame you. This case has just ended, and Sikyong just told us about it."
Li Huaiyun also asked, "Where is your leader Liu?"
"Something happened, I left the Iron Painting Pavilion!"
"So he doesn't know the progress of the case. It's normal that you didn't receive the order. Since Director Liu is not here, the issue about the fox demon will be handled by us!"
The guards glanced at Li Huaiyun. This person had indeed been interrogated before, so they didn't think much about it. "Then let me lead the way!"
Li Huaiyun followed Mu Yuan into the prison. In this dim corridor, from time to time, wailing sounds could be heard in their ears.
They arrived at the prison where the fox demon was imprisoned. Mu Yuan asked the guards to open the prison door, and they wanted to go in for interrogation.
The guard refused at first, because he knew that the fox demon had certain abilities, and if he entered hastily, he would be in danger.
However, Mu Yuan insisted that the guard could only do as he was told. He stayed by the door and kept watching the situation inside the prison, hoping that everything would be safe.
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan entered the prison where the fox demon was imprisoned.
The fox demon stood up and looked at Li Huaiyun with hateful eyes, "You are finally here!"
"Of course, I'm an honest guy."
The fox demon was quite disdainful of this and snorted, "I thought you wouldn't come back!"
"Not coming back? Since I promised you something, how could I break my promise?"
The fox demon glanced around, glanced at the guards outside, and said softly, "How are you going to take me out of this place? Without the handwriting, there is no way those guards would let me go."
Li Huaiyun turned his back to the guard outside and took out the scroll from his clothes, "I have been prepared for it!"
"Oh!" Mu Yuan saw the scroll and immediately understood what Li Huaiyun meant. She nodded. In this case, there was no need to alarm others.
The scroll I gave him is used by him like this, I am already the mastermind!
She turned around, walked outside, and said to the guard, "He is in charge of this place. I also want to go to other prisons. Please move there for me."
When Li Huaiyun saw Mu Yuan preparing to send away the guards, he cursed loudly and pointed at the fox demon, "You are an accomplice, responsible for luring women there for the official's pleasure. This behavior is enough to keep you here for the rest of your life."
He continued, "Hurry up and tell me where to bury those people who were harmed by you!"
Li Huaiyun watched Mu Yuan take away the guard, and he immediately said to the fox demon, "Letting you leave this time was an impromptu decision by me and that woman. Based on your crime, you will definitely be refined."
"So, I hope you can do me a favor while you're gone."
"Say it!"
"Find the monster who traded medicinal materials with the couple from Kyoto more than ten years ago."
The fox demon didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, "Okay! Seeing as you are so helpful."
Li Huaiyun said to the fox demon, "Then I will wrong you first!" He opened the scroll, then faced the fox demon and contained it in the scroll.
He walked out of the prison, closed the door, and went directly to Mu Yuan's location.
Since Mu Yuan was just showing off, they quickly left the prison and came out with the guards.
They left the Demon Slayer Division, called a carriage, and drove quickly to a forest outside the city gate.
After arriving at the destination, Li Huaiyun quickly took out the scroll and released the fox demon.
"I have fulfilled my promise and let you go. Please do what you promised me. I will wait in Kyoto. I hope you can abide by the agreement. Even if you can't find it, you must come here and follow it in person. I said."
The fox demon had a friendly look on his face, knowing that the other party would have to face many problems if he let him go.
"I'm afraid a lot of things will happen in Kyoto these days, and I hope you can deal with them in time!"
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he nodded solemnly, "What is the purpose of your demon tribe?"
"This matter is beyond my knowledge!" The fox demon shook his head, "Anyway, pay attention to every case that happens next."
“Don’t just understand other people”
The fox demon opened his mouth and spit out a burst of white mist. This burst of white mist enveloped everyone around him. In a world filled with white mist, he might not even be able to tell the difference between himself and himself.
Looking at the white mist that gradually dissipated around him, there was no trace of the fox demon in it.
"I have been a member of the Demon Slayer Division for so long, and I have never seen anyone release a monster privately. You are the first person! This kind of honor is rare."
"It's very difficult and very dangerous!" Li Huaiyun knew that the consequences of this behavior would be serious. He lowered his voice and slightly concealed his nervousness.
"Looking at you, you don't look afraid! Release of a monster without permission is a capital crime!"
"Say you're not afraid! That's a lie to Mu Yuan!" Li Huaiyun responded softly, "Everyone is actually afraid of death, but sometimes you will never get what you want if you don't work hard."
He sighed, "I hope if I do this, I can get a good result!"
Mu Yuan frowned and folded his hands in front of him. The outcome depends on the fox demon!
Wait until the fog completely dissipates,
They got up and left the grove, preparing to return to the city. However, when they were at the city gate, they saw a group of people standing under the big tree on the side of the city wall, whispering, and everyone had a look of horror on their faces.
"That's too much. Who did it?"
"There is no humanity left!"
"Hurry up and report it to the official. The murderer will definitely be severely punished."
Li Huaiyun was a little curious, so he said to Mu Yuan, "Why don't you go there and see what happened?"
Mu Yuan shrugged, "If you think it's okay, just go and don't ask me."
"Oh! Okay, Mu Yuan, let's go over there and see what happened." Li Huaiyun walked toward the crowd, and Mu Yuan followed.
When he was only more than ten meters away from the crowd, he stood there, raised his head, looked inside, and finally saw clearly what was going on in front of him.
Two people hanged from the tree!
