The royal palace of the Qing Kingdom.
Qing Wuji could not believe his eyes.
The Marquis of Huainan, who had been pursuing the witch, had gone completely silent three days ago, but no one had thought much of it at first.
The Marquis of Huainan possessed the rare Ice-Ice Fruit ability. Even a Level Seven powerhouse might not have been able to kill him.
Yet his corpse now lay before Qing Wuji.
After dozens of hours of searching, the Qing Kingdom's men had finally found traces of the squad of over a hundred people led by the Marquis of Huainan.
More precisely, their corpses.
And among those corpses was none other than the Marquis of Huainan.
His final expression had been one of utter terror, as though he had suffered an extreme fright.
"What exactly happened??"
Below him, a minister looked at the enraged Qing Wuji and began trembling in fear.
It had been many years since the Qing Kingdom had seen anything like the massacre in Light City or the unexpected death of a Grand Governor.
That Gu Zimei really was a walking calamity!
But no one took Gu Zimei seriously even now. After all, she was simply too young.
"My king, the Marquis of Huainan must have encountered a Fierce Beast overlord."
"A large-scale battle took place there earlier. Destruction on this scale is absolutely beyond an ordinary Level Seven powerhouse."
Qing Wuji had also received footage taken at the scene, and his expression froze in an instant.
Even he, a Logia Sand-Sand Fruit Ability User, could not produce destruction on this scale.
This Fierce Beast was stronger than him!
"Could that Gu Zimei really be a walking calamity??"
"To think that pursuing her would get them caught in a battle between Fierce Beasts!"
