Morning.
Everyone in Jiang City panicked.
Yesterday, Wang Manor was wiped out, and this morning, they noticed that Zhou Manor was wiped out too.
Some people spread rumors that evil demons came to Jiang City and that they would all die.
If it was in the past, no one would believe it.
But it was different now. Many people believed that it was done by evil demons.
Some bold people saw the corpses and found it terrifying. Their blood was sucked dry, their stomachs were opened, and the organs inside were all gone.
Huang Manor.
"Father, the city is in a mess. Wang Family and Zhou Family were killed in one night, and they looked really terrifying. Do you think it was done by Chen Family?" Huang Boren asked.
One couldn't blame him for thinking that way.
Not long after Old Master Chen died, the merchants in the city started to fight for Chen Family's business. Chen Family was forced to such an extent, so there was a high chance that they would kill.
Cough cough!
Old Master Huang coughed, "No, it was Yin Demons."
When he mentioned Yin Demons, Old Master Huang's eyes were filled with terror like he hadn't recovered from what happened in the past.
Huang Boren was foreign to Yin Demons and had never heard of such a thing before.
"Didn't you always ask me why my body was like that? It isn't a disease, but when I was young, I met Yin Demons. They attached themselves to people's bodies, sucking blood and eating meat. People who are targeted by them have no way to live. "
"I was lucky and met someone. He was Zhang Tianshan. He saved my life, so I repaid him by renting Martial Path Mountain to him for 700 silver a year."
Martial Path Mountain wasn't small, and if one was smart, as long as one used it well, they would earn more than 5,000 silver a year.
However, what made Old Master Huang helpless was that Zhang Tianshan didn't have a business mind. He didn't develop in a good direction and instead developed in a bad direction, causing them to go bankrupt.
Even if they went bankrupt, Old Master Huang didn't rush them to pay the rent.
"Ah?" Huang Boren opened his mouth, "That fellow who didn't keep his word and ran without paying."
He didn't dare to believe it.
Such a person who didn't keep his word actually had such ability.
"Head to Martial Path Mountain to find Zhang Tianshan and ask him to help. If it is Yin Demons, Huang Family won't be safe." Old Master Huang said.
Huang Boren nodded his head. He only knew that the methods used to wipe out the two families were cruel. As for Yin Demons, he hadn't seen them before, so he didn't know much.
Chen Shengyao was very uneasy.
Yesterday, it was the Wang family. Today, it was the Zhou family.
How did they kill him?
Although he was happy in his heart, he was also afraid that it would be their turn. If it really was their turn, what should they do?
At the city gate.
A luxurious carriage slowly entered the city.
At that moment, the people in the carriage opened the curtains and saw people leaving one after another. They were quite curious, "Ask if something happened in the city and why so many people are leaving."
"Yes, young master."
Soon, that person returned.
"Replying to Young Master, this servant has inquired and found out that there have been two consecutive murders in the city in the past two days. Two wealthy merchant families were slaughtered overnight, and not a single chicken or dog was spared. Their deaths were extremely tragic. They suspect that demons have entered the city, so they want to leave and hide." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with an upright appearance. His eyes were spirited like an eagle's, but his eyebrows were as white as snow.
"Go to the government." The voice in the sedan was calm, but there was a hint of surprise in its tone.
The Jiang City government was just like that. The Imperial City would set up government offices in cities apart from You City and some other border cities to maintain the laws and culture of the city.
But Jiang City was too far away from the Imperial City. The Emperor was far away, so the government basically didn't exist.
It was pretty much just a figurehead for the aristocratic families.
When it concerned the aristocratic families, it wasn't up to the government to decide. Instead, they would ask the aristocratic families how to decide.
Very quickly, the carriage arrived at the Jiang City government office.
The person in the carriage got off. He was handsome and had an imposing appearance, exuding the aura of a noble.
"This is the government office?" Xiao Qi didn't dare to believe his eyes. If not for the words on the door, he wouldn't dare to believe it.
Shabby, very shabby.
Just like that, how could they show the power of the government and spread the might of the Imperial Family?
The white-browed male lowered his head, "Young Master, this should be it."
Xiao Qi's face was cold as he walked towards the government office. There were no bailiffs at the door, and after entering, he didn't see a single person.
"Who are you, why did you come in?" At that moment, a middle-aged male carried a basket and asked.
"Who are you?" Xiao Qi asked.
The male said, "I am the Jiang City Prefect, what do you want?"
Xiao Qi was lazy to talk nonsense, he hooked his finger towards the white-browed male behind him, "Make him kneel down and talk to me."
The white-browed male took out a token from his waist and passed it to the Jiang City Prefect.
"What is this …" The magistrate of Jiang City was about to say what it was, but he suddenly froze. The basket fell to the ground and he knelt on the ground. "Magistrate of Jiang City, Zhu Niancheng, greets Your Highness."
His forehead was covered in sweat.
Oh my god.
Jiang City was so far away from the Imperial City, and the Royal Highness actually came.
Xiao Qi scoffed coldly, "You look like a prefect? I think you look more like someone who cooks. "
Zhu Niancheng wailed and cried. His face was full of tears. "Your Highness, I feel bitter in my heart. I've been in Rivertown for ten years. I wanted to fulfill my ambitions, but I didn't expect the number of aristocratic families in Rivertown to exceed my imagination. In just a few days, I'm just a figurehead."
"Trash." Xiao Qi nearly wanted to kick this prefect to death.
A good official appointed by the Imperial Family actually ended up like this.
"Young Master, it is better to take a look at those corpses." The white-browed male reminded.
Xiao Qi asked, "I heard that there were many murders these two days, especially two where entire families were wiped out. Where are the corpses?"
"Your Royal Highness, please follow me." Zhu Niancheng said in panic.
He had already called people to transport these corpses back to the manor.
Such things had to be recorded in case they needed to be overturned in the future, and there were clues to be found.
Autopsy Hall.
Before they even entered, there was a stench that made people stop and not want to enter.
"Young Master, I will go in." The white-browed male said.
"It is okay, let's go in together." Xiao Qi said.
As a prince, he loved to show off to his brothers. This time, he was going around in disguise and hoped to achieve some results. He also heard about King Wutong's rebellion and hoped to find some clues. Without doing anything to King Wutong, he would kill all his supporters.
Now that such a thing happened in Jiang City, he felt like he had to investigate it.
At this moment, even if he wore a mask, the smell made him feel bad.
Within the room.
There were many corpses laid out.
When the white-browed male saw the corpses, he frowned. He had some clues but he wasn't sure. He nodded towards the Prince and started to investigate the situation of the corpses.
He hoped that he could find some clues from the corpses.
He came to a corpse and put on his gloves. He checked while saying, "This is a dried corpse, there is no drop of blood in the body; it was all sucked dry."
"The organs are gone, only pieces are left."
"The chest split open, it was ripped from the inside."
Slowly, the white-browed male didn't say anything, like he thought about something.
He changed one corpse after another.
In the end, he came to Xiao Qi's side, "Young Master, it was done by the Yin Demons."
Xiao Qi found it weird. With his age, naturally he didn't see schemes, but the Imperial Family records had records of the Yin Demons, so he was clearer than anyone else about their existence.
However, why would there be Yin Demons in Jiang City?
Forget it.
No matter why they were here.
At least, he was here now.
The white-browed male said, "Young Master, it is a problem. We don't have enough people, so we can't deal with them."
"En." Xiao Qi didn't say much and then asked, "Are there any sects nearby?"
Zhu Niancheng said, "Yes, yes, it is not far from the city on Martial Path Mountain."
Martial Path Mountain secret room.
Lin Fan temporarily called this secret room. Although he didn't know why Zhang Tianshan dug it out, it wasn't important anymore.
Cough cough!
Lin Fan stepped on the black tiles and slowly walked in. The 16 Yin Demons he caught were locked there. They struggled, but they were unable to escape.
"You might not understand me, but don't worry, I have no bad intentions towards you. At most, I will just cut off your limbs, I won't go too far."
Rage Points + 222.
Rage Points + 333.
….
The rage points came in really calmly, there were no fluctuations at all. It just jumped between 222 and 333.
The Yin Demons that were captured were furious; they wanted to roar out.
You bastard.
Are you even a human?
You even dared to offend Yin Demons. You didn't know how terrifying we were.
"Human, you better let us go, otherwise, it won't be good for you." At that moment, a Yin Demon opened his mouth.
He was different from the other Yin Demons as he could speak. He wasn't the kind that bared his teeth and only knew how to be fierce.
Although a lot of the black fog around him had dissipated, the remaining black fog was much stronger than the other Yin Demons.
The Yin Demon said, "Although I don't know who you are and why you locked us here, but very quickly, our …"
"Ah!"
Lin Fan calmly pulled out his blade and stabbed the Yin Demon.
Rage Points + 888.
Rage Points + 333.
….
This wave of rage points was well earned.
He only wanted rage points and didn't care about anything else.
He pulled out the blade, and the blade was covered in black blood. Thin lightning flowed around the Yin Demon's stomach, torturing it.
He noticed that the Yin Demons were really durable.
They were already sliced to such a state, but they still didn't die.
Did he have to slice them into pieces or chop off their heads to kill them in one strike?
The surrounding Yin Demons struggled. It was like this Yin Demon had a high status, which was why they were furious. They bared their teeth and roared out in rage.
Puchi!
Lin Fan stabbed once more.
The Yin Demon that Lin Fan stabbed did have a high status.
However, he cursed out in his heart.
He didn't speak, so why did he still stab him?
Those Yin Demons continued to roar.
"Continue to roar, I will continue to stab." Lin Fan said.
Si!
Those Yin Demons understood and continued to roar out in rage towards Lin Fan.
What the Yin Demon that Lin Fan stabbed felt in his heart wasn't something that could be expressed with just one sentence.
Can you guys stop yelling at me?
I was the one who stabbed him, not all of you.
