The wolf guards were all crestfallen as if they had lost their parents. They had mobilized so many people, but the real culprit had escaped right under their noses. This was a great humiliation to them.
"Chase, the culprit can't have gone far in such a short amount of time. Even if we have to scour the ground, we have to find the culprit."
Lang Yuan's chest rose and fell rapidly as he ordered through gritted teeth. He then turned around and strode out.
"Yes!"
The wolf guards all held their breaths and responded loudly. They followed behind Lang Yuan and rushed out like a swarm of bees, searching in all directions.
On the ground, there were dozens of corpses lying in pools of dark red blood that had already congealed. It was a very desolate sight.
One of the corpses, whose face was covered in blood and wore the clothes of a slave shop worker, moved slightly. It opened its eyes and carefully observed its surroundings.
After confirming that there was no one around, the corpse stood up and took out a storage ring from his bosom. He took out a corpse that was dressed exactly like him and carefully placed it on the spot where he was lying before. Then, he quickly took off his clothes and put on a set of clothes that was exactly the same as the Wolf Guard's. Then, he tiptoed out of the courtyard and arrived at the entrance of the trading firm.
He stuck his head out of the shop's entrance and discovered that the closest wolf guard was carefully searching a thousand meters away. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he muttered to himself, "Idiot." He took out a handkerchief that was soaked in water and carefully wiped the blood stains on his face to reveal a handsome and delicate face. He then lowered his head and quickly walked out.
As he was wearing the wolf guard's clothes, the young man easily blended into the group of wolf guards. As the group continued to search, he quickly escaped the encirclement when no one was paying attention and entered a small alley that had already been searched.
The young man let out a sigh of relief after passing through the narrow alley. After confirming that there was no one around, he took off the wolf guard's clothes and changed into a white shaman's robe. He then quickly made his way to the ancient building complex where the fox clan resided.
The young man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here and easily avoided the guards at the entrance. He made several turns in the ancient building complex and arrived in front of an abandoned ancient temple. He straightened his clothes and solemnly pushed open the unlatched door of the temple and walked in.
The temple was ancient and dilapidated and the ground was covered in a thick layer of dust. But strangely, the young man did not leave any footprints wherever he walked.
There was a black statue that was so dilapidated that its original appearance could not be seen. The young man knelt respectfully on the almost decaying mat in front of the shrine and murmured with a pious expression, "Master, Lu Qi has already successfully killed that thief according to the plan."
If someone heard this, they would be greatly shocked. So this young man was Mister Lu Qi of the famous Rainbow Deer Clan of the Three Dukes and Four Beauties.
The broken statue didn't have any reaction, but Lu Qi seemed to have heard something and nodded repeatedly, his face couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.
The general's residence was filled with mournful cries.
The female slaves that had just been bought were interrogated by the wolf guards with terrified expressions. The girls that had been saved by Ding Ning all stood in front of the ruins with sorrowful expressions, their faces covered in tears.
Although they had cut off their mental connection with Ding Ning, they knew that the handsome young man was the benefactor that had saved them from their misery. But their benefactor had died like this. How could they not be sad?
The servants of the Marshal's residence stood solemnly in front of the ruins with their heads bowed. It was difficult to hide the sorrow on their faces. On one hand, they mourned the untimely death of the Marshal, and on the other, they were deeply worried about their future.
Although that young and handsome marshal was a little absurd when it came to women, he was very good to the servants. He had always been kind to them and never put on airs. Like this.
A master who was easy to serve was hard to come by in a thousand years. Coupled with the generous treatment, they did not want to leave the general's residence to make a living elsewhere.
Zi Que 'er and the other ten wives of the Great Marshal rejected everyone's offer of help. Together with their nominal son, Kong Xuan, they dug out Ding Ning's shattered bones bit by bit and pieced them together with great difficulty, forming an incomplete human-shaped skeleton.
Ding Ning's skeleton was very recognizable. Although it had a dim luster, it was enshrouded in a faint purple color.
Looking at Ding Ning's incomplete skeleton, the dark eye sockets on his bald head seemed to be staring deeply at them, filled with reluctance.
The girls were filled with sorrow. They knelt in front of the skeleton and cried their hearts out, hovering between life and death. The three sisters cried until they fainted a few times but they insisted on not going back to their rooms to rest. They knelt in front of Ding Ning's skeleton and wiped their tears continuously.
Kong Xuan wept silently. He did not want to give up and continued to dig in the ruins. Even when his tender little hands were scraped, he was unwilling to give up. He insisted on finding his father's skeleton. Even if it was a proper burial, he wanted it to be more dignified.
The entire general's residence was immersed in great sorrow. Whether the emperor and the eight great lords were really sad or pretending, they all silently lowered their heads and mourned for the deceased general!
No matter what they thought in their hearts, no one could deny Ding Ning's achievements. If not for his sudden appearance, the Ten Thousand Demon Imperial Court would not be in such a state today.
Bai Lian 'er had arrived long ago. But when she heard the news of Ding Ning's death, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted from crying. Her deep feelings moved everyone.
Bai Xun 'er originally hated her very much and even suspected that she colluded with outsiders to harm Ding Ning. But when she saw her sincere expression, she knew that she did not mean to harm Ding Ning. She also felt relieved.
"Mother, I found daddy's this."
Kong Xuan suddenly said in a childish voice. He waved the black Stone Golem in his hand, and the tears and dust on his delicate little face mixed together, making him look very dirty. He looked quite funny, but no one could laugh at him.
Kong Xuan held back her grief, wiped her tears and said softly, "Xuan 'er, be a good boy. Give it to me quickly. That was my father's pendant. Now … now that he's gone, let it accompany … accompany my father."
As she spoke, Kong Xuan's tears flowed uncontrollably. She choked with sobs and could not continue.
Ding Ning's death was an unbearable pain for her. She had been alone for most of her life and finally found a husband. But she didn't expect that not long after they got married, her husband would leave her again. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because she was a jinx, and whoever she married would be unlucky. That was why Ding Ning died.
"En, mother, here!"
Little Kong Xuan ran over and obediently handed the black stone man to Kong Xuan. He showed a maturity that did not match his age.
Kong Xuan took the stone man. She could not help but feel heartache. She suddenly hugged Kong Xuan and wailed. Her husband was dead. She only had this son who was not her biological son. She had placed all her feelings on Kong Xuan. Otherwise, she would have gone with Ding Ning.
The women were already grieving. But with Ding Ning's death, they were the only women left to support the face of the General's Mansion. They could not lose the dignity of the General's Mansion. That was why they had been suppressing their grief and discussing how to deal with Ding Ning's funeral.
At this moment, seeing Kong Xuan wailing, the pain in her heart was aroused again. She could not help but wail. The servants and the rescued girls also wept. Their cries were sorrowful and resentful, like cuckoo weeping blood. Those who heard it would cry and those who heard it would be sad.
"Alright, put the pendant on my husband first. After all, it was what he cared about the most when he was alive."
Zi Que 'er was older and was once the leader of a clan. She comforted her with red eyes.
Kong Xuan cried until she was out of breath. She could not face Ding Ning's remains. She handed the stone man to Zi Que 'er.
Zi
Que 'er wept silently. Together with Bai Xun' er and Kong Lei, she lifted Ding Ning's head and put the stone man on his broken neck.
Ding Ning had been blown to pieces, but this stone man was not injured at all. Even the black thread that connected the stone man was not damaged. How could they not see that the stone man was not ordinary?
But the person was gone. No matter how extraordinary a pendant was, it was not as important as a finger of their husband in their hearts.
Thud thud thud!
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Everyone turned to look and saw a donkey walking in leisurely with its legs splayed out.
Bai Xun 'er was sad and happy at the same time. She bowed and said, "Senior, you're late. He has already left."
One had to know that all the demons living in the Thousand Demon City were in human form. At most, they would have some special characteristics of their race. They would only reveal their true form during battle. But this donkey had always maintained his demon form. It could be said that he was an exception.
Everyone looked at this strange donkey in shock. They did not know where he came from. Bai Xun 'er was actually so respectful to him.
Old Donkey nodded. His face was expressionless as he walked in front of Ding Ning's corpse in a leisurely manner. He circled around the corpse and stared fixedly at the black stone man.
"Senior, can he still be saved?"
Although Bai Xun 'er did not have much hope, she could not help but ask. In her heart, the old donkey was omnipotent. Perhaps he really had the ability to save Ding Ning.
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. They looked at the old donkey in disbelief and secretly guessed his identity.
Those who knew Bai Xun 'er looked at the old donkey with fervent gazes. Those who did not know her snorted disdainfully. He had already been blown to pieces. How could he still be saved? This woman was really too grief-stricken.
The old ancestor of the Winged Clan frowned. She suddenly thought of the mysterious Soul Transformation expert behind Ding Ning during the final battle. Could it be this donkey?
The old donkey did not answer Bai Xun 'er's question. He also ignored the expectant gazes of Zi Que' er and the others. He continued to walk around Ding Ning's corpse, as if he was making a difficult decision.
Everyone became nervous from his unfathomable appearance. They could not help but hold their breaths. The scene was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Everyone retreat. Xun 'er, stay behind."
After an unknown amount of time, after who knew how many rounds, Old Donkey finally stopped in his tracks and instructed in an unquestionable manner.
"Okay!"
Bai Xun 'er revealed a look of surprise. She quickly pulled Zi Que' er and said, "Hubby might still be saved. Big Sister Zi, quickly lead them away."
Although Zi Que 'er did not really believe it, it was already like this. There was no harm in giving it a try. She quickly nodded in agreement and organized everyone to retreat.
It was just that the wolf guards and the people in the residence were easy to deal with. She could not directly chase the emperor and the eight King Lords away. She could only apologize and said, "Emperor, King Lords, please leave for a moment. Please go to the backyard and have some tea."
"Hmph, where did this donkey come from? I have never heard of the dead coming back to life, "Yuan Hua sneered.
If there was anyone present who did not want Ding Ning to come back to life, it was naturally him.
"Shut up. Scram."
Before Zi Que 'er could say anything, the old donkey turned his head and shouted. The terrifying aura that overflowed made Yuan Hua's heart tremble. His face instantly turned red.
"Little Ke 'er, you are still the emperor of the imperial court. Watch these people's mouths. Don't let anyone disturb me."
The old donkey ignored Yuan Hua and grinned at the old ancestor of the Winged Clan, revealing a mouth full of snow-white buckteeth. He looked extremely annoying.
