On the way, when he passed by a small town, Ning Qi suddenly saw a wisp of black spiritual energy. Below him was a small town and a large mansion was surrounded by people. The black spiritual energy came from this mansion.
At the entrance of the mansion stood a dozen or so constables with solemn expressions.
"Sir, what's going on here?"
Ning Qi quietly appeared in the crowd, walked to the side of an old man, and asked.
In the mansion, there was a faint smell of blood. Ordinary people might not be able to smell it, but to Ning Qi, the smell of blood at least proved that there were at least ten corpses in this mansion! "There were eighteen people in the Duan Family, and all of them died in one night. Every one of them was decapitated, and their heads were placed neatly on their chests. I don't know which great thief did this. What a sin!"
The old man said without turning his head back.
After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Ning Qi. Seeing that Ning Qi was just a young man, he immediately frowned. "Kids shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing. Leave quickly. This is not a place for you to stay!"
Ning Qi did not argue with him and probed the mansion with his spiritual energy.
In this three-sectioned mansion, there were a total of eighteen corpses. Their hands and feet were broken and placed on both sides of their bodies. Then, their heads were placed on their chests! Every head was facing the direction of the door. When Ning Qi saw them, they also seemed to be staring at Ning Qi.
The constables were already investigating the scene, but in the end, they did not find any useful clues. The murderer seemed to have appeared out of thin air and did not leave any traces! "Sigh! Now, such fierce bandits also appeared in our Jadepool Town. Although the Duan Family is arrogant and despotic, they did not do many bad things. It's really pitiful for them to be exterminated like this. "
"If I were to say, they deserved to die. How many bad things have they done?
Some time ago, the eldest son of the Duan Family bought a wife for his silly son. Then, the wife died. It was said that she fell into a well. Who would believe that! "
"Didn't Constable Liu come to check? She did fall into a well and die."
A few people from Jadepool Town were discussing at the side. However, they all had their own opinions. Some thought that the Duan Family deserved to die, while others thought that the Duan Family was not guilty! While everyone was talking, Ning Qi was still scanning the house with his spiritual power and finally found something unusual.
He saw a soaked corpse dressed in red. Her head was draped with a red veil, and she was wearing the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes. The skin on her arms was deathly pale, and upon closer inspection, he could see that droplets of water were seeping out from the pores of her skin.
The reason why Ning Qi could immediately tell that she was a corpse was because his eyes had seen that the blood on the corpse had congealed and was no longer flowing! At this moment, a constable came to the house. He opened the door and saw the corpse at first glance. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Miss?"
The constable called out tentatively.
Naturally, the corpse could not reply and remained motionless.
Seeing this, the constable called out to his colleague. Then, he gathered his courage and went forward to lift the red veil. At this moment, the arm of the corpse moved.
The deathly pale palm grabbed the constable's wrist tightly. Without waiting for him to react, a ray of light flashed across his neck. The constable's head immediately fell to the ground! Fresh blood spurted out from the constable's neck, causing the red wedding dress on the corpse to become even brighter! "Zombie."
A trace of seriousness flashed in Ning Qi's eyes. This was a ferocious creature in the cultivation world. No wonder the eighteen members of the family had all died so tragically. Not to mention them, even an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing realm could not possibly be a match for such a ghostly creature. Her aura might even be slightly stronger than Yan Qing's.
"Constable Liu, bad news!"
A few constables hurried over. When they saw the constable's head separated from his body, their faces immediately revealed a trace of horror. They immediately sent out a signal, "The murderer is still in the Duan Manor!!"
The murderer was still in the Duan Manor?
The screams of the constables instantly reduced the number of onlookers by thirty percent. The more timid ones even retreated a thousand feet away, watching from afar.
Very quickly, Constable Liu arrived with a group of people. They saw the constable's body, but it was as if they could not see the female corpse in the red wedding dress. Even when their eyes swept across the bed, they did not stop for a moment! "How did Xiaowu die?
What did you see? "
Constable Liu asked with a gloomy face.
The few constables looked at each other. One of them shook his head and said, "We did not see anything. It was Xiaowu who said that there was a situation here, so we rushed over. We did not expect to see Xiaowu's body just as we reached this room …" "It seems that the murderer's ability is at least stronger than mine! And his Qinggong should have reached the point of perfection … "Constable Liu said with a complicated expression.
The case in front of him was obviously beyond his ability to handle.
"Let's leave the Duan Manor first."
Constable Liu made a prompt decision.
The rest of the constables did not want to stay either. Upon hearing that, they quickly packed up their colleague's body and left the Duan Manor with Constable Liu.
In Ning Qi's eyes, the female corpse lying behind Constable Liu and the others did not seem to be seen at all while they were conversing with each other.
"A smokescreen?"
Ning Qi's eyes gradually turned solemn.
"Don't crowd around here. Leave quickly, and try not to go out at night!"
Constable Liu's face immediately darkened when he saw the crowd outside the Duan Manor.
Late at night, Ning Qi arrived at the manor. Just as he reached the door of the female corpse's room …
"Heh …" A soft moan rang in Ning Qi's ears.
Following that, a bony arm slowly rested on Ning Qi's shoulder.
Ning Qi's expression was calm. When the other party's palm rested on his shoulder, he grabbed the bony arm with a backhand.
Crack! In the blink of an eye, the old man's arm was twisted like a fried dough twist. The other party seemed to be a little stunned. A trace of astonishment could be seen on his old face. However, Ning Qi did not care whether the other party was an old man or whether he should respect the old and cherish the young. From the moment the old man approached him, Ning Qi was certain that this person had something to do with the appearance of the red-dressed female corpse! This was because the old man had the scent of the red-dressed female corpse on him. This meant that he had at least come into close contact with the red-dressed female corpse and was not killed by her! "Raising a corpse, huh?"
Ning Qi sneered. His hands did not stop moving. After breaking the old man's arm, he continued to slap the old man's body a few times.
One slap after another landed on the old man's chest, causing blood to spurt out of his mouth. His chest had obviously caved in.
Ning Qi seized the opportunity to break the old man's legs and his other arm. Only then did he stop moving and threw the old man who was like a pile of mud on the ground.
From the beginning to the end, Ning Qi's actions were done in one go. It took him less than three seconds.
"… You, what are you?!"
The old man looked at Ning Qi in horror.
