Moreover, according to intelligence, Ning Hao is also a master close to the sixth rank. After all, to run such a lucrative position in the capital, one cannot maintain order without considerable strength.
Zu An looked at Xiao Jianren beside him: "Do you know of any way in the world to kill someone silently in this prison?"
Xiao Jianren was a well-known know-it-all in the Embroidery Pavilion. His cultivation level was not outstanding, but he was able to become a silver medalist because he had read a lot of books and had read more or less of the Embroidery Pavilion's database.
Xiao Jianren replied, "My lord, there are three possibilities. First, a Grandmaster could kill someone remotely with divine sense. Second, there are some witchcraft techniques used by the demon races in the borderlands. Legend has it that they have a 'Seven Arrows of Nailhead' that can kill a person by having them bow to a straw doll in accordance with the target's birth date and personal belongings. Third, there are races that cultivate special abilities, such as the dragon race's power of words, which should also be able to kill him silently. It's all my fault for arranging the person in an ordinary county jail. If it were in the embroidered tower's cell, there would be special rune arrays that could isolate most of this kind of power."
Sensing his frustration, Zuan comforted him, "You handled it very well. Nobody expected this to happen, so it's not your fault."
He quickly analyzed the situation. There were only a handful of Grandmasters in the world, so how could they possibly target a casino owner? He had witnessed the Dragon Clan's Word of Power before, which was similar to his "Key Comes" ability, so it was indeed possible for them to do so. Also, although the main body of the Demon Clan lived in the remote borderlands, many Demon Clan members had also mingled in the human world due to hundreds of years of war.
Like Qiao Xueying and Yun Yuqing, whom I knew before, they have all successfully integrated into human society.
There are quite a few demon experts being raised by various factions in the capital, but it's unclear which faction they belong to.
So he immediately set about making arrangements, sending Xiao Jianren back to the embroidery tower to investigate which demon experts were being raised in the capital. He was familiar with the situation in the capital, so this was the most suitable place for him to investigate.
He stayed behind to interrogate and investigate the other people in the casino.
Unfortunately, they searched until night but found no useful information. The remaining people at the casino were all employees who didn't know anything about the boss. They only knew that he had a mysterious background and seemed to have some powerful backer in the capital, but Ning Hao always kept the identity of that backer a closely guarded secret.
Zuan knew he couldn't find anything out of this lead, so he decided to return to the capital first.
He was speeding along when suddenly he frowned and quickly tightened the reins.
"What's wrong, Eleventh Lord?" the other embroidered-robed envoys asked one after another.
Zuan did not answer, because he felt a sense of being watched.
