"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Just as the crackling incantation talisman was about to be placed on his forehead, the man in black finally succumbed to the pressure and spoke in a trembling voice.

In those green eyes, fear overwhelmed resentment.

Qiqi stopped what she was doing, her little hand holding the talisman hovering in mid-air, her big eyes staring at him without blinking.

"Then tell me quickly! Why did you release little monsters into the hospital to harm people?"

Huo Yuwei and Bai Xuan also came over, forming a triangle to surround him and prevent him from playing any tricks.

“I…I was just following orders…” The man in black’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of resentment. “Someone…someone needs a lot of pure life force, especially the life force of children, which is the purest existence. That’s why they ordered me to go and get it for them.”

"Who is it?!" Huo Yuwei asked sharply, pushing his military bayonet forward another half an inch.

The cold blade almost touched the man in black's neck.

The man in black trembled, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke with difficulty, "I... I only know that everyone calls him 'Your Excellency,' and no one has ever seen his true face. He always finds me through special means and gives me instructions. He also provided me with tools like the Soul-Eating Demon. He also told me the target location, and after the mission is accomplished, he will give me a portion of his soul power as a reward."

"Your Excellency?" Qiqi tilted her head. "Is it a name or a title?"

"It's probably a title. He never reveals any personal information, even his voice is disguised." The man in black smiled bitterly. "That's all I know, really! I'm just a gofer, doing this to improve my cultivation..."

"To improve one's cultivation level?" Bai Xuan's cold voice rang out, carrying undisguised sarcasm. "To improve one's cultivation level by devouring the souls of innocent children, such a wicked and heretical method, does it even deserve to talk about the word 'cultivation'?"

The man in black was rendered speechless and lowered his head.

Although Huo Yusen didn't know much about cultivation, he could glean some clues from the conversation. He frowned and asked, "How long have you been doing this kind of 'transaction'? Besides the hospital, where else have you made your move?"

"It started about three months ago," the man in black confessed honestly. "It started in a few orphanages and primary schools in remote mountain villages, where security was lax and there were many children. Later, we discovered that the ICUs in hospitals were full of seriously ill children whose soul power was weak but of high quality. Moreover, even if these seriously ill children died, it wouldn't arouse suspicion, so we began to focus on hospitals."

“Three months…” Huo Yuwei’s face was ashen. “How many children were harmed during that time?”

"I...I'm not sure. The Envoy sent several people like me to operate in different areas. I'm only responsible for the southern part of the city." The man in black's voice trailed off. "That's all I know, really! Please, let me go. I was forced into this."

"Forced?" Qiqi puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Those children are the ones who were harmed by you! Their soul power was stolen, and at best they will fall into a coma, at worst they will never wake up again! You are a bad guy!"

As she spoke, she still stuck the mantra talisman in her hand onto it.

After all, we need to confirm whether this guy is lying.

The moment the talisman touched the black-clad man's forehead, golden arcs of electricity flashed, his body trembled violently, and his eyes became vacant.

"What are the characteristics of the envoy? How can we contact him?" Huo Yuwei asked quickly.

“Every time, he contacts me first. Through a bronze mirror…” the man in black answered mechanically, unable to lie under the influence of the truth talisman, “The mirror lights up when I am alone, transmitting his commands. When he speaks, blood-red runes appear on the mirror surface.”

"Where is the bronze mirror?" Bai Xuan asked.

“In the secret room of my residence, the address is No. 73, basement, West City Old Street.”

After confirming the exact address, Qiqi removed the truth talisman.

The man in black collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with terror once they regained their clarity.

He knew he had revealed all his cards.

Now, his life or death is entirely in the hands of these people in front of him.

"What do we do now?" Huo Yuwei looked at Qi Qi and Bai Xuan. "Should we just search his residence?"

Bai Xuan pondered for a moment, "This person has been captured, and that 'Envoy' is likely aware of it. We need to split into two groups, one to search the residence for clues, and the other..."

He looked at the jade bottle in Qiqi's hand, which contained the captured Soul-Eating Demon. "Perhaps we can trace its origin through this Soul-Eating Demon. These low-level demons often come from the same breeder and will carry similar aura marks."

"That's right!" Qiqi's eyes lit up. "Xiaobai, you're so smart!"

She carefully drew out a wisp of the Soul-Eating Demon's aura from the jade bottle and attached it to a specially made tracking talisman.

After coming into contact with the demonic energy, the cinnabar patterns on the talisman began to glow faintly red, pointing in a certain direction.

"Southeast!" Qi Qi pointed in the direction where the talisman was trembling, "The lair or breeder of the Soul-Eating Demon might be over there!"

Huo Yuwei made a quick decision, "Xiao Jiu, you and Qi Qi go and follow this direction. Bai Xuan and I will take a few people to search No. 73, Old Street in the West of the City. Be careful, and contact us immediately if you find anything."

Although Huo Yusen was worried about his elder brother, he naturally wanted to stay with Qiqi.

Moreover, this is the most reasonable arrangement at present.

He nodded in agreement and added, "Big brother, you all need to be careful too."

"Don't worry!" Huo Yuwei patted the two little children's heads, then turned and left with Bai Xuanyi.

The troops split into two groups, and the operation began.

Huo Yuwei, along with Bai Xuan and several elite bodyguards from the Huo family, headed straight for the old street in the west of the city.

Huo Yusen and Qi Qi followed the direction indicated by the tracking talisman.

Qiqi attached wind-riding talismans to each of them, allowing them to travel on the wind quickly and easily.

However, at this moment, Qiqi began to miss Tiger Eagle.

I should have brought Little Tiger along.

Otherwise, Z could have made him revert to his original form and carry them away.

The little tiger sits on something safe and soft, it's incredibly comfortable.

Qiqi held the continuously glowing tracking talisman in her small hands, sighed, and her little face was full of regret.

Huo Yusen flew beside her. This was his first time experiencing the effects of the Wind Control Talisman, and he found it incredibly magical.

Luckily it was late at night, otherwise if someone saw two children flying in mid-air, it would scare them half to death.

"Qiqi, if there's any danger later, be sure to hide behind me immediately, okay? Brother Xiao Jiu will protect you!" Huo Yusen instructed as he flew.

"Okay, Little Nine Brother." Qiqi nodded obediently, but then shook her little fist. "But Qiqi is also very strong, she doesn't need Little Nine Brother's protection! She can even help fight bad guys!"
