Just as Shen Qiang, Xiu Ju and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing were discussing the demon's identity in the Mortal World.

Near the dance academy, Qian Shanxue, watching the female corpse being loaded into a vehicle, coldly said to a Dragon Group investigator standing aside, "There are six more people, we must find that demon in the shortest time possible."

Looking at Qian Shanxue, the Dragon Group investigator said seriously, "Though I hate to admit it, my experience tells me that this will be an unsolvable case."

Qian Shanxue frowned and asked, "With the high-end forensic technology we have now, how can such a case be unsolvable?"

The Dragon Group investigator said earnestly, "We've pulled all the nearby surveillance footage and found nothing. The body didn't provide any clues either. Taking your information into account, we've thoroughly searched through all the dancers in Provincial City, even checking for any visiting dancers from other places."

"But you know what? There are very few professional dancers who are that tall, because such height means they have difficulty finding a compatible dance partner."

Qian Shanxue frowned, "Perhaps we could approach it from another angle."

The investigator gave a wry smile, "Provincial City has a population of over three million, not counting those who move in and out daily. In such a vast crowd, if you're just looking for someone who's one meter ninety tall, I could find you a bunch, but to search for a demon that can instantly kill someone and drain their blood is even harder than finding a needle in a haystack."

"Besides, it's a demon. It can evade detection and leave no trace. Unless it slips up and confesses to the crime itself, finding it is as hard as reaching the heavens."

Ali, refusing to accept defeat, said, "We've solved many major cases and caught many criminals."

The investigator laughed and remarked, "That's because the cases you've taken on involved violent scenes, so it was easy for you to recreate the scenarios with your abilities and start tracking immediately, but this case is different."

"Without traces of a fight, without clues, no matter how strong your reconstructive abilities are, the only scene you can recreate is her dancing with someone."

"The location might be a stage, or it could be her home, it might even be on the street. Therefore, trust my experience—this case is unsolvable, and not only that, our archives are filled with many such unresolved cases."

"We can confirm that the suspect is a demon or a Cultivation practitioner, but beyond that, we're powerless. Aside from routine investigations and trying our luck, there's nothing we can do."

Having said that, the Dragon Group investigator left with his team.

Watching their retreating figures, Ali stamped her foot in frustration, "Colonel, why are they all so lacking in fighting spirit? And Shen Qiang, just walking away like that. Why didn't you stop him, sir? He has some influence in Provincial City now. Though it's not much help, at least it shows some initiative. He just left with a smile. What's that supposed to mean?"

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue looked at her in surprise and said, "Shen Qiang is right, his role is the team doctor, providing us with medical support. So, there's nothing for him to do here."

Ali was taken aback.

At that moment, Qian Shanxue asked, "Xiu Xiang, how's the situation on your end?"

Ye Xiaolei frowned and replied, "It's strange. There's no scent on the female corpse other than her own. I can't find any suspects."

Qian Shanxue frowned, then sighed as she adjusted her military cap and said, "Let's go."

But just then, the Dragon Group investigator who had previously left with his team suddenly returned, rolled down the car window and said, "Colonel Qian Shanxue, go check the Immortal Realm Forum. This matter is targeting Heshenghe!"

Qian Shanxue was stunned.

At this moment, in the moving van, Xiu Ju was patting Shen Qiang in shock.

"Quick, look at this."

While speaking, Xiu Ju placed the laptop in her hands in front of Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang immediately saw a post in the Immortal Realm Forum's Jianghu Grudges section titled "The King's Contempt."

At the same time, the post included a picture of that female corpse, but it was pixelated and didn't show anything explicit.

After reading what the poster had written in the post, Shen Qiang's gaze turned icy cold.

"Shen Qiang, do you really dare to falsely claim the title of King of Demons? You are truly overestimating yourself! To command the myriad demons, one must be no less than the Human Emperor. Do you have this ability? This is a welcome gift. There will be one each day for six days. If you can't find me after a week, then you are nothing but blind even with your eyes open. To be King of Demons, wait for your next life!"

Such taunting words, coupled with the image of the mosaic-covered female corpse who was still very beautiful.

Therefore, many people who saw this post on the forum and those who replied to it were very active.

"Hahaha, well said. Shen Qiang is just a junior; he's far from becoming King of Demons!"

"Blind even with eyes open, this adjective is just too apt."

"Just a junior wanting to command the myriad demons, he can keep on dreaming."

"Exactly. Shen Qiang is nothing but a leader of a few little demons. He can only show off against inconsequential sects like the Long Yan Sword Sect. Anyone truly capable wouldn't bother with him. Isn't he trying to act tough? Look, he can't even handle the trivial matters of a small place like Provincial City."

"Hehe, when the Long Yan Sword Sect was around, nothing like this ever happened in Provincial City."

Watching the one-sided mockery.

Shen Qiang calmly made a phone call to Hao Deben, asking him to investigate the poster.

The response came quickly. The poster had used the free public WiFi at the bus stop opposite the train station and was now offline. Hao Deben was tracking through cyberspace methods and suggested that Shen Qiang should try to get the surveillance video from that bus stop to find the poster.

This suggestion disappointed Shen Qiang.

Such an arrogant person, brazenly using a female corpse as intimidation and deliberately choosing the high-traffic train station as a place to go online, certainly must have foreseen everything. So, trying to find him through the nearby train station's surveillance footage was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, there were too many surveillance devices around the train station. Even if it were possible to get them, by the time all those surveillance videos were watched, the week would have long passed. By then, the guy who killed seven young girls, if he were to hide, there would be even less hope of finding him.

"Shen Qiang, the other side is deliberately provoking you; don't get obsessed, or you'll fall into their trap," said Xiu Ju, looking earnestly at Shen Qiang. "So I think it's time for us to have a meeting. Many hands make light work. Bianyi, Jiang Hanyang, they're all very smart, and the four seniors from the Happiness Sect are also..."

"The truth is sometimes in the hands of the few. If you have too many opinions, you'll be unable to discern which one is useful." Looking at the female corpse on the forum, Shen Qiang's eyes became brighter and he said, "I suddenly feel that as long as we react quickly enough, maybe we can catch him today."
