"My lord!"
"The outskirts of the city have been cleared!"
Lingqu City's Left Guard Captain Yuchi Youde stepped into the mansion, frowning slightly. He smelled the faint scent of blood in the air.
In the gloomy darkness, a weak voice sounded.
"... How is it?"
"There was indeed a Yin God explosion."
Kneeling on one knee, Yuchi Youde said in a low voice, "The identity is unknown. Only fragments of a broken sword were found at the scene."
"Understood."
A fatigued voice from the pavilion replied, "You may leave."
"Foster father."
Yuchi Youde did not leave immediately.
He looked up, hesitantly gazing at the screen in the pavilion, "You… what's the matter?"
"Hiss!"
The darkness was illuminated by a light.
Zong Bi emerged from behind the screen, holding a candle.
Blood flowed down his arm inside his wide sleeve, condensing at his fingertips before dribbling to the ground.
Yuchi Youde's expression turned strange.
