Unexpected

Luo, the Guardian, and the bodies of his subordinates were discovered by an old woodcutter who had gone up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs.

From a distance, he had seen what looked like a lot of strips of cloth hanging from the trees on the summit. But when he got closer, he realized they weren't strips of cloth at all.

They were headless corpses, one after another, hanging from the trees.

The old woodcutter had spent his whole life cutting wood and digging for herbs in the mountains, but he had never seen anything like this. He immediately dropped the herb basket on his back and the little iron shovel in his hand, then ran back to the village in a panic. He shut the gates and refused to come out.

It took three days for the old woodcutter to finally recover enough to tell the village head what he had seen on the mountain.

Then the village head took several young men up the mountain to look. When they found the old woodcutter had told the truth, they immediately decided to report it to the authorities.

The constable sent from the nearby county office to investigate the case came from a Martial Arts Family and had some experience.

He immediately recognized that the robes worn by the bodies hanging from the trees were Daoist robes worn by Cultivators. So he didn't have his men take the bodies down. Instead, he went straight to the Empty Mountain Sect's Consulate Office in the nearest city and reported the matter to the Consular Disciple stationed there.

After several twists and turns, Guardian Huang was the first to learn of the matter. He led a group of men to the barren mountain.

And then came the present.
