The Thousand-Corpse Pit

The entire camp was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Their gazes toward Qin Yan were now filled with apprehension and fear; the general was serious.

Han Cui and the others held their breath, not daring to breathe.

Everyone realized that Qin Yan was very different from previous generals.

He also told himself that he must obey Qin Yan's orders!

It's true that following Qin Yan could lead to promotions and wealth, but one had to be alive to live until then.

"Han Cui, Jin Shizhong, Guo Hai!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

The three answered in unison!

They were also extremely nervous, afraid that Qin Yan would make an example of the three of them.

"You who dared not speak your command are hereby given ten strokes of the military rod!"

Qin Yan spoke calmly, then looked at everyone. "Those who are beheaded will have their immediate superiors dismissed, and their next superiors will receive twenty strokes of the military rod."

If such a thing happens again, follow today's procedure!

"We obey."

Han Cui and his men no longer dared to harbor any illusions; they were certain they would be beaten today.

At the same time, Heavenly King Hong was furious upon learning of Xiao Mu's death.

"Among Qin Yan, none of my Taiping Army are capable; he has successively killed my generals."

Heavenly King Hong's eyes were bloodshot. Hu Zhanfeng and Xiao Mu were among the few strategists under his command who could lead an army!

Hu Zhanfeng was one of the earliest followers of his, and his death caused him immense heartache.

"Qin Yan a young genius who has recently risen to prominence in Da Great Li. His talent is so amazing that he will surely become a Supreme Grandmaster in the future."

Most importantly, his archery skills were terrifying; he could kill someone from a kilometer away!

Moreover, the arrows he shot were extremely special; they couldn't even withstand a single arrow from a sturdy city gate!

His level of threat to us is probably no less than that of Supreme Grandmaster!

This person must be eliminated to prevent any unforeseen complications.

Zuo Wenqing said in a deep voice, "He is one of the few brilliant commanders in the Taiping Army."

Naturally, they noticed the strategic significance of Qin Yan himself!

The more impressive the opponent's performance, the stronger his killing intent became.

"Qin Yan must die."

Many of the generals present spoke up, feeling a chill run down their spines at Qin Yan's record.

To shoot and kill a master of Xiantian or higher from thousands of meters away.

How many of those present could withstand the opponent's attack?

Just thinking about encountering them on the battlefield sends chills down my spine.

Almost all the generals in the Taiping Army wished they could get rid of Qin Yan as soon as possible!

Seeing the crowd so indignant.

Heavenly King Hong also fell into deep thought, as he was well aware of the pressure Qin Yan had brought to everyone.

"This person must be eliminated!"

Heavenly King Hong's eyes were sinister!

"This person's Archery are enough to threaten Grandmaster. To be on the safe side, I, the Heavenly King, have decided to bring two Grandmasters and one Supreme Grandmaster with me."

We must bring back this man's signboard as a tribute to my deceased brother!

"The Heavenly King is wise!"

Hearing that Heavenly King Hong had sent out a Supreme Grandmaster and two other Grandmasters, it was clear that such a lineup could easily defeat even a Supreme Grandmaster.

This put their minds at ease for a while.

"Immortal Master Minghe, I'll have to trouble you to take this matter!"

Heavenly King Hong looked to his left at an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face!

"Rest assured, Heavenly King Hong, this old Daoist priest will definitely bring back Qin Yan's head."

Immortal Master Minghe smiled calmly.

At the same time, news came from Chaowen Prefecture.

Strange things have been happening at the place where Qin Yan burned the 'Wild Boar Forest' since the day before yesterday.

Every midnight, countless figures, burned by flames, appear in the Wild Boar Forest!

Everyone let out a piercing wail.

The entire mountain forest is like this.

Even after death, they still won't stop.

Upon seeing the intelligence report, Qin Yan snorted coldly.

If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time.

Moreover, it's a job that matches their major.

"Han Chen!"

What are your orders, General?

Han Chen responded by clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Something has happened in the forest where the Taiping Army burned down; I, the general, must go and deal with it."

You stay at the camp and guard the house for me."

Qin Yan donned his armor and gave instructions to the other party.

"The world these days!" Han Chen gave a bitter smile. "The probability of evil spirits being born is getting higher and higher."

Your subordinate has heard that there are an increasing number of bizarre cases stemming from the war.

"That's how the world is; we can only try our best to eliminate potential threats!"

Qin Yan was also somewhat helpless.

Logically speaking, even if the Taiping Army left any corpses behind, they would have burned them a second time.

The unusual activity that has occurred now is likely due to the immense resentment generated by the deaths of too many people at once.

This trip!

Qin Yan brought Bai Yi and a group of personal guards with him!

Qin Yan burned Wild Boar Forest to the ground, leaving the roads covered in a thick layer of ash!

"General, do people really become ghosts after they die?"

Looking at the desolate place before him, Bai Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

The same applies to the personal guards who follow him.

"Theoretically speaking, if one harbors enough resentment in life, it is quite common for them to become Yin Soul after death."

These Taiping Army were burned alive by me; they harbor immense resentment, and are at least Vengeful Ghost spirits.

Qin Yan used his Qi-Reading Technique.

A Sha Qi emanated from the nearby ravine!

"Walk!"

Qin Yan spoke in a low voice, and soon the group arrived at the location.

The Sha Qi emanates from this soil.

"Who was responsible for burning the bodies back then?"

Qin Yan's expression was extremely grim.

"Leave the cremation of corpses to He Zhiwu!"

Bai Yi was taken aback, wondering why the general was so angry.

"Damn it, the bodies weren't even burned, they're all buried down here."

No wonder strange things are happening.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi and the others felt a chill run down their spines; this meant that what was buried underground were all corpses.

"Go and find him for me, and inform the prefect that someone must be sent over as soon as possible to dispose of the body."

Otherwise, if the zombies turn into monsters, the entire Chaowen City will suffer.

Bai Yi also knew the seriousness of the matter. "I will take care of it immediately."

Not long after!

He Zhiwu was pressed down.

"General, what crime have I committed this time?"

He Zhiwu looked somewhat frightened when he saw that he had been taken to the Wild Boar Forest.

"You dared to neglect your duties when I was tasked with handling the body!"

If you incite a mass of evil spirits, your entire family will be executed!

He Zhiwu terrified, his face turning deathly pale. "My lord, I did everything you asked!"

But he seemed to realize something soon enough.

He said tremblingly, "There were too many corpses at the time, so we transferred some people from the Chaowen Prefecture to handle them together."

The problem likely arose around this time.

Qin Yan took a deep breath. "You should be thankful that no one has died yet."

One person's dereliction of duty is not enough to be punished, but he will go back and receive fifty lashes!

Notify the Demon-Suppressing Bureau Chaowen Prefecture to investigate which animals ate the bear's heart and the leopard's gallbladder. If the bodies are not disposed of, bury them on the spot!

The Demon-Suppression Commandant Chaowen Prefecture died in battle while guarding Chaowen City, and some positions within the Demon-Suppressing Bureau are now vacant.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Qin Yan's turn to handle this matter.

As the group dug away the soil, a stench assaulted their nostrils, and some of the corpses were on the verge of mutation.

At least a thousand corpses are buried here.

The person who did this has been found.

He was a labor foreman in Chaowen City. After receiving the order, he found it troublesome and secretly ordered his men to bury the body!

He's been taken into custody and is unlikely to be released.
