"Demon!"

In an instant, Shen Qiang was dumbfounded, staring agape at Ji Wei riding a curved beam motorcycle.

Almost simultaneously, Qian Shanxue's voice came through the phone, "Shen Qiang, have you seen him? You must be disappointed now, he's just an ordinary person, this proves your deduction was wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang snapped back to his senses, his mind going blank for a moment.

His heart then trembled violently, feeling his heartbeat so quick that it was almost unbearable.

Because the legend of the mythical zombie had always existed in both the Cultivation World and the ordinary world, among them, the most famous was that of the Drought Demon!

The legend goes that during Chiyou's great battle with the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor sent Ying Long to the wild lands of Jizhou to fight against Chiyou.

Ying Long, a winged dragon, conjured a catastrophic flood to surround Chiyou.

Chiyou summoned the Marquis of Wind and the Master of Rain, and soon Ying Long's troops were lost amidst the violent wind and rain.

The Yellow Emperor then deployed the celestial maiden, the Drought Demon, to the battle.

Dressed in blue, she emanated intense light and heat.

Approaching the frontlines, she wielded her Divine Power, and the fog of wind and rain immediately dissipated, allowing the Yellow Emperor to finally capture and kill Chiyou.

Ying Long and the Drought Demon accomplished great feats but also lost their Divine Powers and could no longer return to the heavens.

Thus, Ying Long stayed in the South of the human world, where it became a land of abundant water and rain.

The Drought Demon settled in the North, making it a land of dryness. Wherever she went, she was cursed and driven away by the people and came to be known as the "Drought Demon."

Moreover, in the Huaxia legends of zombies, the Drought Demon is the only one truly recorded in history. As for the other famous and ancient so-called zombie ancestors, such as Ying Gou, Hou Qing, and Jiang Chen, they do not possess the same exalted status as the Drought Demon.

Having activated his Observation Skill, Shen Qiang confirmed once more.

The information returned by Observing the Micro indeed indicated.

That this Ji Wei was the Drought Demon.

Indeed, a zombie demon that has existed for over three thousand years.

This realization struck Shen Qiang suddenly, making him aware that his knowledge and understanding of the world were far too limited.

Before he had begun his cultivation journey, Shen Qiang thought cultivators did not exist; before encountering demons, Shen Qiang thought demons were non-existent. But now, as Shen Qiang had become a Late Bloomer in the Cultivation World, revered as the King of Demons...

A mysterious individual, using a female corpse, had thrust this mythical demon, which belonged only in legend, straight in front of Shen Qiang.

Who is this person?

What exactly do they want to do?

And it was almost at the moment Shen Qiang pondered these questions.

Ali spoke in a calm tone, "This Ji Wei is quite interesting; he seems to have a cleaning obsession, his house is spotless. Not only that, but what's even more intriguing is that all the kitchen utensils in Ji Wei's home look as good as new."

"If I weren't sure that he is just a regular salaried worker earning less than four thousand a month, I would definitely think he never cooks at home."

Startled, Shen Qiang hurriedly said, "Ali, you're still at his place?"

"Yes, I'm just looking around. So far, apart from his extraordinarily clean house, I haven't found any useful clues."

Slamming down the accelerator to head in the direction where Ji Wei had vanished, Shen Qiang shouted sternly, "Get out of there now, he's already heading back, you could die."

"Are you joking?" Ali chuckled mockingly, "I'm a Golden Core Stage cultivator. Even if that Ji Wei walks up to the door, he won't be able to detect me."

Upon hearing this, a fire surged to Shen Qiang's head, and he said angrily, "Trust me, leave now, or even if I get there in time, I'll only be able to collect your corpse."

These words made Ali pause.

Qian Shanxue, despite her tone of surprise, issued an immediate command, "Ali, listen to Shen Qiang, leave at once, that's an order!"

Twenty-odd seconds later.

Ji Wei, having locked his motorcycle with a curved beam in the residential community's bike shed, went upstairs with a smile, nodding and smiling at every passerby around him.

But when he reached the third floor and approached the door of his apartment.

His nostrils seemed to flare unconsciously.

Then he calmly opened the door.

Stepped into the room.

After glancing around, he locked the door, then crouched down and took a white handkerchief from his pocket, one as white as snow, wiping away the faint muddy watermark left by the melted snow.

His gaze turned cold.

Crouched on the ground, he calmly observed the faint muddy footprints left on the floor as they caught the light.

Then he stood up coldly.

He walked to his refrigerator with a slightly tense expression and yanked it open violently.

After that, seeing the refrigerator that obviously hadn't been touched by anyone, his gaze relaxed.

But at that moment, his ears twitched sharply, and his eyes swiftly turned towards the window.

"He's spotted me!" Ali, peeking from the corner of the external platform outside the window, felt an inexplicable surge of panic, almost uncontrollably flashing her form and fiercely leaping down from the platform.

"That's a terrifying feeling!"

Ali, with terror in her beautiful eyes, sprinted faster.

"I have no True Yuan, no surge of Spiritual Energy, no oppression of Divine Sense, but why am I so afraid? Yes, I was frightened by Shen Qiang, I am a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and that Ji Wei is just an ordinary person, I have no reason to be afraid of him."

However, almost as Ali thought this, just as she was running pell-mell and had just turned the corner, she was shocked to a standstill.

Because there stood Ji Wei, the seemingly harmless man with a white handkerchief, his gaze very cold, about twenty meters away from her on the side of the road.

"How is this possible? How could he appear there!"

All Ali could feel was her heart beating violently, and an indescribable sense of dread enveloping her like a tide on a winter night.

Thud!

Right then, a nondescript SUV collided with a trash can by the side of the road.

At the same time, Shen Qiang's voice transmission reached Ali's ears, "Leave, go to Qian Shanxue."

Following this, Ali saw the door of the SUV that hit the trash can open.

Shen Qiang, with a faint smile on his face, was already moving towards Ji Wei.

Ali hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

"Mr. Ji, I think we should have a chat, my name is Shen Qiang, and I think you might recognize me."

Watching Shen Qiang approach, Ji Wei pocketed his handkerchief and said calmly, "I don't know you."

Shen Qiang smiled as he observed Ali hastily leaving, then said, "Then let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Qiang, I own a company called Heshenghe. Inside the industry, people don't like calling me Director Shen, they prefer to call me King of Demons."

"Sounds impressive, but you are delaying my trip to the vegetable market," said Ji Wei, his gaze still calm.

Shen Qiang laughed, with no intention of stepping aside but instead continued, "The reason they call me King of Demons is that I am a natural born King, I can see right through a demon's real identity in one glance, even a zombie that's been around for thousands of years cannot escape its form in front of me."
