Anomaly in the Thick Smoke

"Captain, is this really Li Lepeng's corpse?"

Li Yang looked at the grotesque, twisted, smoke-blackened mummified corpse and felt a chill in his heart.

With this evidence in hand.

Yang Jian had no choice but to conclude, "This mummified corpse is most likely Li Lepeng's body. After all, the Fierce Ghost Zone was sealed off long ago. Ordinary people wouldn't
