Xu Qing walked in. He saw Xu Xiulan and the others lying beside Dian Hongbo's corpse, weeping until they had become tear-stained figures. Wang Tuoba and the others wore grim, silent expressions.
"Commander Wang."
Xu Qing walked over and stood beside Wang Tuoba.
"Hmm?"
Wang Tuoba came back to his senses and only then noticed Xu Qing. "Xu Qing."
"How did Brother Dian die?"
Xu Qing asked.
"..."
Wang Tuoba fell silent for a moment before finally telling the truth. "Yesterday, we went to Gray River Village to investigate traces of the Blood Demon Cult. On the way back, we were intercepted and assassinated by Blood Demon Cult experts."
"In the end."
"Dian Hongbo died fighting with all his strength."
"Blood Demon Cult."
Xu Qing murmured. "Commander Wang, last night, Dian Hongbo's wife and children were assassinated by unknown experts. I was awakened when I heard the disturbance and immediately rushed over, hoping to save Brother Dian's family."
"Who would have thought."
"An expert calling himself 'Li Bai' killed every one of the villains. This powerful man who called himself Li Bai possessed incredibly high swordsmanship and immense strength. After killing those villains, he left."
"So."
Xu Qing paused before asking again, "I suspect that the villains who came to assassinate Brother Dian's wife and children were very likely members of the Blood Demon Cult."
"From this, it can be inferred."
"Brother Dian was intercepted by Blood Demon Cult experts, while his wife and children were also targeted for assassination. This proves one thing: Brother Dian had been marked by the Blood Demon Cult."
"Commander Wang, what do you intend to do next? How will you protect Brother Dian's wife and children? The Blood Demon Cult failed yesterday, but they will surely return like a tide."
"Rest assured."
Wang Tuoba
