Chapter 44 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

The smoke and dust followed the arrangement of the figures, and took up residence in this house full of corpses. The gray-black figure took Xiao Nuan's body away, leaving only Yanchen to live alone in the firewood room.

After a few days, the door outside the house is full of people, every passerby will stop when they pass by here, looking at the bloodstains in front of the door, it is obvious that they think that no one has stepped out of the door for many days, and they feel very strange, until the city lord personally came to investigate, they only knew in hindsight that the original family had already died, and they did not know which vicious murderer had killed them!

When the city lord and everyone entered this lifeless mansion together, they were frightened by the scene in front of them, the corpses lying on the ground all over the ground, soaked in blood, staining the original yellow earth into a bright red, but only part of the earth was infected with a small amount of blood, and many corpses did not flow blood at all, as if the blood was sucked away before death!

Looking at this scene, the city lord's expression gradually became solemn, Sunset City under his management, showing its original vitality, but now there is a thorny case of slaughter, which will definitely make people panic, over time, fear will spread in Sunset City, making people feel uneasy, they will imagine a knife hanging above their heads at all times, which will make the entire Sunset City fall into chaos.

So the first thing the city owner did was to send someone to bury the corpses in the cemetery to the north, and then send some people to clean up the bloodstains, but some subordinates would ask questions.

"City Lord, don't you need to investigate?" The subordinates next to him looked at the city lord respectfully and said, the city lord is the pillar of Sunset City, and only this person in front of him can suppress this matter, others are afraid that they have little ability, but this kind of suppression is only for a while, and it can't solve the problem from the source at all, so doing this is just to temporarily dispose of these dead and bury them properly, which is considered to be respect for the dead!

"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, and it will not be so simple to find out the murderer thoroughly!" the city lord said with a sigh. Why didn't he want to give everyone an explanation, every corpse of these dead people was as if they had been sucked dry of blood! Such a method was similar to what he had encountered on the battlefield back then, where the soldiers were sucked dry of blood by an unknown object overnight! The reason why he was able to survive was that he was captured in the enemy camp, and then he heard that there were no soldiers in his army left, and the death of each soldier was very tragic, some were disemboweled, some were cut out, and the heart was pierced, but there was a very strange scene at the scene, a large number of corpses gathered together without a drop of blood, which made the enemy camp inevitably a little panicked, and the army's heart began to be unstable, and in the end, those enemy soldiers all fled from the battlefield, and finally the captured city lord was able to escape, and only then came to Sunset City to become the city lord step by step!

And now he has encountered the same difficult case back then, he can't help but be a little panicked, but he knows that panic can't solve the problem, he can only see if he can suppress this matter, and then gather forces to issue an arrest warrant and search the whole city.

But just when they were thinking about sealing the house first, a little boy walked out of the firewood room, his eyes glazed, as if he had lost the happiness that a boy should have!

The city lord stared at the little boy in front of him, his heart was full of doubts, after all, the appearance of such a little boy in such a murderous mansion made him and even everyone's hearts tremble!

Everyone thought to themselves that the little boy might know that he was the only witness to the case, but they had doubts in their hearts, would the person who could kill the entire mansion let such a little boy go?

"I've seen the murderer, and he's headed north of the city. The boy was not at all afraid of the crowd in front of him, and the corpses on the ground did not make him feel any fear.

"Child, are you alone?" the city lord squatted down and stroked the little boy's face, but the little boy was indifferent.

"Send the order down and inform the mysterious person who has appeared in the north of the city, can the child describe the characteristics of that person?"

"The man was very tall, with a scar on his face, and a large knife in his hand. The boy said slowly, and after hearing this, the subordinates of the city lord rushed out of the house and headed for the north of the city. The boy did exactly what the gray-black robed figure had arranged, and the man wanted to get rid of the pot himself!

The city lord looked at the boy who still had countless doubts on his body, and he wanted to ask the boy something, but when he saw Yanchen hanging his head and looking at the ground, the city lord could only give up the idea of asking about the situation.

"Child, why don't you go with me to the city lord's building to take care of the county lord?" the city lord smiled and invited Yanchen.

Hearing this, Yanchen remembered that the guy who promised to save Xiao Nuan said that he wanted him to enter the city lord building over there, the purpose was to get close to the county lord, he knew that person's plan by heart, and he wanted to save Xiao Nuan at all costs!

"Good. In this way, the smoke and dust smoothly entered the tall and majestic city lord building, and the murderer who slaughtered the entire mansion was also caught, it was the one described by the smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust at that time were still a little surprised, after all, there was no evidence to prove that the person was guilty, and it was very likely that they didn't want to put this matter into an unsolvable problem, so those subordinates randomly found someone to be the scapegoat, so that the mysterious man could get away with it.

Gradually, Yanchen invited the mysterious man into the city lord's building, he claimed that he was a wizard and would save the little county lord, and the boy saw that the wizard gave him a look, he quickly agreed, and said that the little county lord was haunted by demons and needed to be treated with blood every day, how could the city lord agree?

But what the city lord didn't know was that the smoke and dust he saved back then had already belonged to the wizard's gang. And now the city lord doesn't have those soldiers by his side, so the city lord is now isolated and helpless.

"City Lord, don't you look at the environment you are in?" the young man Yanchen smiled faintly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and when the cup of tea was raised above his head, he suddenly let go of his hand.

Click!

The teacup fell to the ground, and the teacup, which was still intact, instantly turned into glass slag and spread all over the ground. The city lord was obviously stunned by this scene, but the city lord's eyes were vicious, and he could see at a glance that the young man Yanchen and this wizard were in the same group!

"When the teacup is intact, anyone wants to touch it, and when it turns to slag, how many people want to approach it?" After saying that, the wizard beside him came to the back of the city lord in the blink of an eye, grabbed the city lord's head with his right hand, and made a low and sharp voice: "City lord, do you like tyrannical yourself?"

"What?!" The city lord found himself completely unable to move, and could only allow the wizard to use a special means to control his mind, and from then on, the good city lord was no more, replaced by a tyrannical human puppet!

And then there was a childhood encounter with Xingliuer!

Smoke and dust slowly walked to the window, the sun was shining, countless rays of light shone into the dim hall, once upon a time, he no longer knew what the sun was like, but this time he didn't need to hide in the dark again!

I saw him jump slightly, the aura fluctuations suddenly erupted, and a subtle aura spike penetrated a subordinate who resisted him in the hall below, and the aura spike penetrated his heart at that moment, and before the person could react, the breath of life gradually passed, and his face froze into a panicked expression, it is estimated that he never thought that he would die in this hall today, even if he is a respected spiritual cultivator, the realm is in the late stage of the spirit gathering realm!

Such a rebel of the Spirit Gathering Realm was wiped out under the gaze of others. The others now looked at the young people in front of them with a deep fear in their eyes, their strength was not as good as those absent commanders, but the city lords often dealt with those official positions such as those in charge of finances and other things on weekdays, they were not spiritual cultivators themselves, and those who had spiritual energy were completely inferior to Yanchen in the cultivation realm, so Yanchen dared to kill the rebel who was only in the late stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm so easily.

Although these people in the hall are not strong, they have the right to decide who will be the city lord, the old city lord treats them well, they are naturally willing to follow, but at the moment, this young man named Yanchen is seeking to seize the position of the city lord, they want to stop the strength is completely insufficient, and some of the leaders who are loyal to the old city lord are not here at the moment, so they are afraid of violence and their own status, they can only choose to compromise!

"Since no one resists, then I am the rightful city lord, pass the order, and the new city lord will patrol the whole city at night tonight!"

"Yes!" they could only echo at this point.
