Jiuhua City is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, and the city closest to Star Dou Great Forest is the city. In the Star Luo Empire, if you want to go to Star Dou Great Forest, you basically have to pass through Jiuhua City.
Outside Jiuhua City, there is a quiet and peaceful village with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. It is also close to Jiuhua City. The economy is developing very well. Although it is not possible to get rich, it is enough to live and work in peace and contentment.
It was now noon, a busy time for the villagers, but the village seemed very quiet at this time, and no villagers could be seen at all.
In the village, a man covered in black robes grabbed a bishop wearing Spirit Hall clothing with his hands. His sharp nails instantly pierced his body and clawed out a bleeding heart.
The man in black robe looked at the heart in his hand with disgust, released the bishop's hand, threw the heart aside, took out a handkerchief from his body, and carefully wiped the blood on his hand.
"Hurry up, we still have a mission, we need to go to Star Dou Great Forest, don't delay for too long." A voice without any emotion came from the mouth of the man in black robe.
"Yes, we can solve the problem here soon."
The man in black robe stood quietly, carefully wiping the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, while also waiting for the others...
One day later, when Bi Zihan and his group were passing by the village outside Jiuhua City, Bi Zihan, who had been concentrating in the carriage with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage and sniffed with his nose. Whether it was an illusion or not, he actually smelled a faint smell of blood, but the smell of blood was so light that it was almost undetectable.
Bi Zihan glanced around, but found nothing unusual. He took out a white chess piece from Soul Tool, crushed it into pieces, and then stretched his hand out of the carriage window.
The breeze blew by, and the chess pieces crushed by him flew in the air. Since the guards were all walking in front, they did not notice this scene.
Demon Bear, who had been hiding in the dark, discovered Bi Zihan's movements, and immediately sent a message to ask, "Zihan, what happened?"
Bi Zihan did not speak, but pointed in the direction of the village, and then took his hand back, as if nothing happened.
Demon Bear looked at his movements, moved his nose, and noticed the faint smell of blood filling the air. But he did not go to the village pointed by Bi Zihan to check. Instead, he hesitated to go to the village to check.
If he went to the village to check, Bi Zihan would not be protected secretly, and he would always feel a little uneasy. But the bloody smell in the air proved that something must have happened, and there was only this village around, and in front of the village was Jiuhua City, so the problem must have been in this village.
After a while, Demon Bear still shook his head and did not go to the direction of the village to check. He just followed Bi Zihan quietly and secretly.
Bi Zihan sat in the carriage and closed his eyes quietly, waiting for Demon Bear's answer. It had been more than half a year since Star Luo Empire arrived, and Demon Bear should have been able to tell in the dark that what he had just done was correct.
The team gradually drove into Jiuhua City, and Bi Zihan didn't wait for Demon Bear's answer, so he couldn't help but feel a little different in his heart.
"Find a place in Jiuhua City. Let's take a rest first and then go to Star Dou Great Forest!" Bi Zihan said, giving instructions to the guards outside.
"Okay, Third Prince!" The guard outside agreed, and in Jiuhua City, he found a hotel and rested.
Entering the hotel room, Bi Zihan ordered the guards outside, "No one can enter the room without my order, no matter what."
"Yes, Third Prince, as long as we are here, not even a fly can enter your room under our eyes." The guard commander patted his chest with his hand, and his voice sounded very firm.
"Yes!" Bi Zihan agreed, then reached out to close the door to the room and locked it behind him.
After doing all this, Bi Zihan took out a mask and put it on his face, walked to the window, reached out and opened the window. After removing the Dark Disguise effect of the foreign suit Soul Bone, he jumped out of the window.
He tapped his toes lightly on the ground and Bi Zihan's body landed firmly on the ground. He was surrounded by dark alleys. Just as he was about to walk forward, he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Zihan, how did you regain your appearance?" Demon Bear walked out of the dark corner, feeling a little surprised that Bi Zihan returned to his original appearance.
Hearing this, Bi Zihan turned to look behind him. When he saw Demon Bear, he said softly, "Fifth Enshrinement, I asked you to go to the village to check, but I couldn't wait for your reply. I was a little worried and planned to go to the village to have a look. But now that you are back, I don't need to go."
"What happened in the village? Why is there a faint smell of blood?"
Demon Bear coughed dryly, "Zihan, I didn't go to the villages to check the situation. I don't know what happened in all the villages." Demon Bear's face showed a little embarrassment.
"Forget it, we're out of town, let's go to the village to check it out. It won't be too late to come back. I hope I'm worrying too much." Bi Zihan shook his head, said nothing more, and walked straight to the front of the alley.
Demon Bear quickly kept up with Bi Zihan.
After the two walked out of Jiuhua City, they quickly headed towards the village where they came from.
When they arrived at the village, the sight that appeared in front of them was dried blood, corpses everywhere, and some hearts thrown on the ground.
The corpses include old people, children, and young people. Their faces are ferocious, and they seem to have suffered great pain before death.
"In Jiuhua City, what does the bishop of the Martial Soul Main Hall do for a living? Such a big thing happened, but there is no one from the Martial Soul Main Hall!" Demon Bear looked at the surrounding situation, with shock and anger in his eyes.
"The bishops of the Martial Soul Main Hall are dead. Their bodies are in the center of the village." Bi Zihan looked at the center of the village. With Divine Punishment Heavenly Eye, he could easily see the situation in the center of the village.
"What! Even the bishop is dead!" Demon Bear couldn't help but raise his voice by three points, and looked towards the center of the village.
Bi Zihan did not speak, but walked straight to the center of the village and looked at the corpse on the ground with his eyes.
In his eyes, there were eight corpses around him, one of whom was wearing the clothes of a Spirit Hall bishop, and the other seven were wearing the clothes of a Spirit Hall deacon.
