Soon, the town lord and his wife emerged from the Dead Star Prison with their people.
Both wore grim expressions.
Deep inside the Dead Star Prison, Zi Zhong's corpse had been smashed into a pulp. The sight was horrifying!
"Invading the sacred ancestral shrine of our Soulhunt Starhold, killing someone, and taking a criminal away-these are grave crimes!"
"Whoever they are, anyone who catches them is to kill them on sight!"
Killing intent filled the burly, middle-aged town lord's face!
His wife's expression was even darker. "Our Soulhunt Starhold has suffered one provocation after another lately. We must capture the perpetrator. Does anyone know who they are?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zi Wenbo and Zi Xiangdong.
The wine gourd at Zi Wenbo's waist swayed as he stepped forward and said gravely, "The two of us rushed over when we heard the commotion, but we didn't see anyone. However, the ancestral shrine's protective formation is completely intact, just like the one around the Primordial Evil Demon."
The town lord sneered. "We just searched the entire town and found no trace of the Primordial Evil Demon's eyes. Clearly, whoever did this must be an outsider."
Someone speculated, "Could this have something to do with that white-haired young man Zi Zhong mentioned last time?"
At that moment, the stooped Zi Xiangdong stepped forward and said gravely, "Not long ago, I heard there was trouble at the Soulsplit Mine too. A great deal of nebula ore vanished without explanation, and no one has caught the culprit yet... I have a bold theory."
The town lord glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Speak."
Zi Xiangdong nodded and continued, "The theft of the Primordial Evil Demon's eyes last time was similar to this incident. I suspect that the culprit can breach protective barrier formations!
