I Am Your Natural Enemy

There’s no trace shown of him leaving the group at night, indicating that he didn’t carry any trackable device during his night departure.

Continuing the investigation, when the trace of the return was found, it was very close to the village, and the timing matched.

”It’s him!”

Wen Yan brought up this person’s information, which was very ordinary, nothing special, probably just someone possessed by the Great Demon.

Finding this person might not have much effect.

But it’s still a significant progress.

The progress was steadily advancing. Wen Yan looked at the current information, pondered for a moment, even the old man would be affected, meaning that even if this Great Demon didn’t intentionally harm people, he didn’t care what he did.

Wen Yan continued to mobilize, checked the situation of the aunt neighbor of Su Mu’s Home, and found no information.

He continued to examine the data, continued to ponder, then found information related to the Yellow Mouse who previously surrendered and the cow cat.

He reorganized the pieces of information into a timeline.

The Yellow Mouse and cow cat staged an accident, in between, encountered the Great Demon-possessed neighbor aunt, and the cow cat and Yellow Mouse were frightened.

The cow cat, to save the Yellow Mouse, flung it away, at the same time, the Great Demon was outside Su Mu’s Home, talking to someone inside.

Combining the testimonies of the Yellow Mouse and the cow cat, the person talking to the Great Demon was Su Mu.

Then the Great Demon left, and immediately after, the Yellow Mouse went to surrender, involving Su Mu, finally causing Wen Yan to visit and see Su Mu personally.

After listing the obtained information in chronological order, Wen Yan noticed the problem.

The Great Demon didn’t know what was said to Su Mu, after which the Great Demon did nothing and left directly.

Looking at it now, Wen Yan felt that the conversation was probably not pleasant, something made the Great Demon hesitant, but then, Su Mu immediately got involved with the Scorching Sun Department, yet this Su Mu genuinely seemed to have issues.

To say this was a coincidence, Wen Yan certainly wouldn’t believe it.

Wen Yan outlined the character of this Great Demon in his mind: adaptable, both arrogant and vengeful, cruel and ruthless, indifferent to face issues, would admit cowardice in person but stab in the back, flee immediately when slightly careless, often hiding for decades or even centuries.

Wen Yan thought about it and came up with a way to slightly pursue on the surface, yet not alert the guy to flee a thousand miles away.

Since Su Mu was pulled out, most likely the Great Demon stabbed in the back, then publicly start with Su Mu as the entry point.

According to Wen Yan’s speculation, with the current information collected, this Great Demon certainly had no friends, and that Su Mu certainly wasn’t an ally of the Great Demon.

So leading the Scorching Sun Department by the nose, letting them target Su Mu, if the Great Demon knew, he would be quite pleased, right?

Wen Yan made a call to Feng Yao.

”Do you remember this person, Su Mu?”

”I’ve seen the information, what’s up?”

”I need a person now, go to that community, no matter how you do it, I need to know the current situation of that aunt, what’s different from before, I need to know everything, is it manageable?”

”It’s not difficult, the Scorching Sun Department excels at grassroots work, targeting that Su Mu, right?”

”At most, just let people know that it’s targeting Su Mu.”

When Wen Yan said this, Feng Yao immediately understood and promptly reminded Wen Yan.

”You don’t need to tell me more.”

”Alright.”

After hanging up, just as Wen Yan was about to continue piecing together the puzzle, his personal phone rang; it was from the Scorching Sun Department’s logistics. The logistics personnel dared not enter the community rashly, so they called Wen Yan.

After receiving the express delivery, Wen Yan opened it and saw it was a box of books.

He thought it was sent by the Fourth Great-uncle Master, but upon a glance, the sender was Taoist Li Qi Xue from Wudang.

Last time, Taoist Li Qi Xue said he would send him a book, recording the deeds of Wudang’s Ancestor, for Wen Yan to reference, because Taoist Li thought Wen Yan was too lenient, even when enemies are at the door, only the highest-ranking elders were killed.

Unexpectedly, this time, so many books were sent, many classic classics, some martial arts books, some cultivation related books, a big box, with a wide variety, some were obviously not the kind of classics that can be freely uploaded online.

On top was a book titled ”Demon-Sweeping Chronicles.”

Inside the book was also a letter, where Taoist Li Qi Xue said that upon hearing the Wudang Sect Leader, more Wudang classics were included, though not of great use, yet stones from other mountains could polish jade, for Wen Yan to use as reference.

Then Taoist Li Qi Xue specifically recommended Wen Yan to read the ”Demon-Sweeping Chronicles,” as it contains detailed records of the deeds of Wudang’s Ancestor.

Anyway, in between the lines, it’s made clear that it wasn’t his idea, but the Sect Master felt that Wen Yan could learn to be more aggressive from the book, with his personality, aiming for ”glare at me and I’ll kill your whole family,” that’s just about right after a few steps.

Wen Yan was dumbfounded; Taoist Li Qi Xue was indeed a character.

He picked up the ”Demon-Sweeping Chronicles,” glanced at the opening introduction, and understood what the title meant—it refers to when Immortal Zhang was young, with quite a fiery temper, once encountering demons harming people, flew into a violent rage.

From that day, started the Demon-Sweeping Jiazi, pursuing and killing various demons, killing for a full sixty years, relentlessly to the point that various demons’ hearts nearly exploded and were almost extinct.

Afterward, experienced The Last Dharma, another heavy blow, leading to the present where the Scorching Sun Department has been established for decades, the cases involving demons they’ve handled are few and far between.

Among the demons and monsters, the number of demon-related cases is even less than the smallest category ”monster” in the other three categories.

So much so that now they are almost overlooked, collectively termed as ghosts and monsters.

The beginning of this situation was when Immortal Zhang, in a fit of rage, swept away demons for a full cycle year.
