Target Locked: Titan Academy
This time, the killer had gone even further, taking out an entire Taiyi Academy patrol squad. It was a nine-man team led by a Gold Ribbon Grand Scholar, with two ordinary scholars among its ranks.
The squad had been on night duty. They were a capable patrol team, every member a seasoned veteran with plenty of combat experience.
Yet even this team had been ambushed near Taiyi Academy once again—and wiped out to the last man!
This time, however, the massacre had left behind some different clues.
The bodies bore clear wounds, and those wounds had been inflicted by the bites of Sky Swallowing Beasts. Two of the unlucky victims had been bitten so badly that less than a third of their bodies remained.
The luckier ones could at least be identified by their faces. The less fortunate had been devoured down to nearly half their bodies.
In short, the nine-man patrol had been wiped out while making its rounds near Taiyi Academy.
No trace of the Absolute Life Domain had been found in this attack. Aside from the bite marks left by the Sky Swallowing Beasts, some of the victims also bore signs of attacks by the Fubo Clan.
In other words, judging by their wounds, the attack on the nine-man patrol bore the unmistakable marks of the four Golden Clans behind Titan Academy.
The Sky Swallowing Clan and the Fubo Clan had left the clearest traces, obvious at a glance.
There were even faint signs of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, though they weren't particularly distinct.
The already murky situation had grown even more complicated.
Who exactly was the killer? Was it the same group as before, or a different one? Even Jiu Xiu Grand Scholar couldn't give a definite answer.
