But—
The instant Feng Wende fled, his body exploded in midair, scattering a shower of bloody mist.
Before a mighty Heavenly Being cultivator,
Divine sense alone
Was enough to slaughter an ordinary Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
What was more,
Feng Wende was not even in the Divine Martial Realm. He was only at the peak of the Manifestation Realm.
The fall of a Manifestation Peak cultivator.
Caused no small disturbance.
Especially with so many experts in the marquis's residence, including Divine Martial Realm cultivators, they naturally noticed what had happened.
Almost the instant Feng Wende's body exploded,
Before the bloody mist had fully settled,
More than a dozen figures flew through the air and landed directly before the Marquis of Northcloud.
"My lord, what happened?"
Li Guang'an looked at the falling bloody mist and asked gravely.
The others spread their divine senses as well, but detected no other enemies.
With his hands behind his back, the Marquis of Northcloud said evenly, "Feng Wende betrayed the Imperial Court and defected to the Demon Race. Relay my command: exterminate three generations of the Feng Family's kin!"
"Yes!"
Everyone lowered their heads and answered.
No one asked why Feng Wende had defected to the Demon Race, or whether there was conclusive evidence.
In Northcloud Prefecture,
The Marquis of Northcloud's word was the strongest evidence.
Everyone could foresee the fate awaiting the Feng Family.
After the others left to carry out his orders,
The Marquis of Northcloud turned his gaze back to the pond.
Whether Feng Wende was a Demon Race sleeper agent,
He knew perfectly well.
But one thing was certain.
Even if the man was not a Demon Race sleeper agent, he undoubtedly belonged to another faction and had wanted to coax the marquis into being the first to stick his neck
