The answer would naturally become clear once he reached White Path Prefecture City.
Azure Cloud County was still too small. In such a small place, Lu Xuan could obtain too little information.
County Yamen Mortuary!
Six corpses lay on several sturdy wooden beds.
Before the wooden beds, several county office coroners were carefully examining every part of the corpses.
Three more people stood behind the coroners in the mortuary: Ye Qingshan, Chen Shi, and Liang Shanhai.
Before long, the county office coroners looked as though they had seen ghosts, terror written across their faces.
The way these people had died was far too bizarre, completely beyond anything they could imagine.
One of the older-looking coroners stepped before Ye Qingshan and spoke with grave seriousness.
"My lord, all of them died the same way. Their bones were ground into powder and mixed with their mangled flesh."
Who knew how the killer had done it.
Their skin had remained completely unscathed, yet everything inside their bodies had been churned into a lump of rotten sludge.
"Mm. You may all leave."
Ye Qingshan replied flatly. From the moment he had seen Huang Yangping's corpse, he had already known his cause of death.
To kill a Martial Realm warrior at the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm in a single blow, and in such a manner, could only have been done by a warrior at the Blood Refinement Realm or above.
In tiny Azure Cloud County, there was actually another Blood Refinement Realm warrior besides himself.
Moreover, judging from the scene of Huang Yangping's death, there had not been the slightest sign of struggle or resistance.
The other party was very likely stronger than him, at the very least a peak Blood Refinement Realm expert—someone as powerful as that Blackbird Guard, Li Yanran.
Wait!
