In the plaza, the heads of Hody's captured group rolled to the ground, blood spraying from their severed necks like blooming flowers.
Everyone shuddered.
What was going on?
The Dragon Palace Soldiers escorting them looked at one another, then down at their weapons.
There was no blood on them, which meant they had not cut off Hody and the others' heads.
