「The next morning.」
The Zhu Family Master and Elder Wu stood in the secret chamber, their expressions dark.
Zhu Huan's handmaiden had come to his room early in the morning, only to find the secret door wide open. Both Zhu Huan and the Snake Demon had been beheaded.
"Who on earth did this?"
The Zhu Family Master gritted his teeth.
He had placed high hopes on Zhu Huan. For the Zhu Family to rise to the next level, they needed to cultivate their own Yijin Martial Artist.
But now, Zhu Huan was dead, and the Snake Demon he shared a symbiotic bond with had died along with him.
Elder Wu bent down to examine the wounds on the bodies of the Snake Demon and Zhu Huan.
"A saber... and arrows. The killer is likely a Bone Forger Martial Master, but a Martial Artist this deadly is rare indeed."
The more Elder Wu looked, the more alarmed he became. He had never seen such a ruthless and powerful saber technique.
"Investigate. I want that killer found."
