Chapter 229: The Culprit

ou have the guts, come at me again!""Are you sure you won't say anything" Lu Tao looked directly at the mad dog."Yo! You're quite bold, aren't you You think I wouldn't shoot" The mad dog snarled. "I'm...[ ]

"We screened Hu Minghao's call logs and zeroed in on thirty suspicious numbers," Yingmen'erlang continued.

"Brothers, after checking separately, we found that the owner of one out-of-town number was very suspicious, and he had a strange smell of herbs on him. He must be the person we're looking for!"

"Where are you now" the Judge asked in a deep voice.

He is just now having a meal at a restaurant!

"Send me the address!" The judge said, then hung up the phone.

Then, he turned to Ling Hao and recounted the situation.

Boom!

After a few minutes, the three drove away.

In less than half an hour, Xuan Pang parked his car in front of a restaurant.

"Greetings, Commander! Greetings, Magistrate!" After getting off the carriage, the three men were quickly approached by ten members of the Shadow Gate.

"Are you still inside" Ling Hao asked.

"Well! By the window in the hall, wearing a dark gray robe."

"You guard the outer perimeter and don't let anyone in for now," Ling Hao said, then walked towards the hall.

As they entered the hall, the three of them immediately spotted their target. He was eating and drinking at a table, with a small woven bag beside him.

Ling Hao then walked directly towards the other party, while Xuan Pang and the two went to walk around.

"Betray the people behind you, and I'll let you keep your whole body." Ling Hao spoke calmly after sitting down in front of the man.

At this moment, he was completely certain that the other person was who he had been looking for. As someone who had spent years raising venomous insects, their scent was unlike anyone else's. Ling Hao recognized it instantly.

"Hmm!" The man paused mid-sip, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"Sir, you have mistaken me for someone else" After draining his cup of wine in one gulp, the man looked at Ling Hao and asked.

"Don't be naive. You stand no chance, and clinging to that delusion will only prolong your suffering until the very end!" Ling Hao narrowed his eyes.

"Everyone says you've made a mistake, I don't even know what you're talking about." The man replied in a low voice.

Whew!

Before the words could leave her lips, she flicked her wrist, sending the wine cup flying towards Ling Hao's face with a whistling sound.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost simultaneously, two dark little snakes shot out from his sleeve.

Pff! Pff!

Ling Hao raised his hand and with a wave, a gust of wind swept over, shattering the wine glasses and two venomous snakes instantly. The snake's blood dripped onto the table, sizzling.

"Well!" The man obviously didn't expect Ling Hao to have such skill. His brows furrowed.

Whew!

Immediately following, with a flick of the wrist, a mass of black mist surged towards Ling Hao at an incredible speed, and its size grew larger and larger.

If you look closely, you will see that the black mist is filled with tiny black bugs, making a hissing sound.

"Heretical!"

Ling Hao's eyes narrowed, and after another palm strike, the dinner table was immediately covered with scattered bloodstains.

Wow!

At the same time, diners around were persuaded by the two judges and rushed to the restaurant door.

"How is that possible!" The man trembled, his face full of shock. "This black mist is highly poisonous, how could you be unharmed"

"Trivial tricks!" Ling Hao said calmly, "What other tricks do you have"

Whoosh!

The man seemed unwilling to give up, letting out a whistle-like sound from his mouth.

Whew!

The next moment, a snake as thick as an arm and emerald green shot out of the woven bag towards Ling Hao at lightning speed.

Pffft!

As expected, a bloody explosion erupted, followed by half a serpent's body crashing onto the table and twitching for a few moments before falling still.

"Damn it!"

The man spoke in a low voice, without any hesitation afterward. He flashed past the doorway and darted out, his speed extremely fast.

Your most powerful poisons would be like child's play to them, and staying would be a sure death sentence.

However, as just a warrior-level martial artist, how could he possibly escape Ling Hao's grasp

He hadn't taken a few steps when three silver needles shot from his waist, directly knocking him to the ground. His lower body was completely numb.

"Who... who are you Why aren't you afraid of the poison" She struggled to lift her head and looked at Ling Hao, opening her mouth.

"What ignorance!" At this moment, Xuan Pang and the other walked over: "With such a paltry trick, you dare to wound the King of the Western Region That's truly a joke!"

"What... What!” Hearing Xuan Pang's words, the man trembled all over, his face filled with boundless terror: "You... you are Ling Shuai!"

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree, the phrase "King of the Western Realm" alone is enough to fill him with despair.

Early on, they knew West King Ling was a formidable presence, even those elder figures from the Miao region would change color when his name was mentioned!

I actually ran into myself! I must have forgotten to check the calendar before leaving home!

"Alright, tell me, who instructed you" Ling Hao walked up to him: "I'll emphasize this again, don't get any ideas, or you'll wish you were dead!"

Wow!

The man let out a heavy sigh, deflating like a punctured balloon. All his bravado was gone.

He was very clear that, before this elder, if he persisted any further, it would really be self-inflicted suffering.

"It was Min Shao who asked me to intervene. He promised that as long as I helped him with this, he would provide me with a large amount of medicinal resources."

"Which one is Min Shao" Ling Hao asked in a deep voice.

"Yan Junmin is the second young master of the Yan family, one of the four prominent families in Jianghai," the man responded.

"Is he in Dongzhou" the Judge roared.

"I don't know either," the man shook his head.

"They're testing medicine on patients, and you helped them with that Did you make the medicine" The judge continued to ask.

"No, no, I wasn't involved in this." The man shook his head again.

"Kill him!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice, then walked towards the door.

"No!" the man shouted hysterically.

Hmph!

Before the words left his lips, a line of blood appeared at his throat. His body convulsed a few times before falling still.

"嚴俊旻 should be in Dongzhou. Get someone to check his phone number immediately and find him!" A short while later, the three of them got into a car, Ling Hao instructed.

"Received!" The judge nodded vigorously and took out his phone to make arrangements.

Ring ring!

After about a minute's drive, the judge's phone rang.

After listening for a while, he said, "I understand!"

"Big brother, Yan Junmin is indeed here, currently at a private manor." After putting away his phone, the Judge turned to Ling Hao.

"Very good!" A chill emanated from Ling Hao. "Take the person back to Yingmen!"

“Received!” The Judge and Xuan Pang nodded at the same time.

In two hours.

The Judge carried a comatose young master into the Shadow Gate council chamber, Xuan Pang trailing behind.

Boom!

Arriving before Ling Hao, the Judge dropped the young master onto the ground: "Brother, this boy is Yan Junmin."

"Why are you arresting me" Yan Junmin woke up, crawled to his feet, and glared at Ling Hao, shouting in a menacing voice.

"You dare to touch me, you bunch of cowards Do you know who I am"ven that of a War God, vanishing into the darkness in the blink of an eye."Honey, are you hurt" Qin Yuxin looked at Ling Hao's bleeding arm with concern on her face.“Honey, I’m fine. Let’s get in the...
