He Yan, who was beside him, frowned upon hearing that it was the bloodthirsty corpse demon from Lanshan County, and questioned Hong Zhi.
"Bloodthirsty corpse demon, wasn't this thing already eliminated?"
"Four years ago, our Blackbird Guard sent five Yellow-rank Blackbird Guards to eliminate it."
"How could it have revived so quickly?"
"Old Hong, are you mistaken?"
He Yan was naturally aware of the changes happening with the extraordinary and strange.
However, wasn't the revival of this bloodthirsty corpse demon in Lanshan County a bit too fast?
The speed at which this bloodthirsty corpse demon revived was a little hard for He Yan to accept.
"No, according to the news from the magistrate of Lanshan County, the deaths of these victims are indeed exactly the same as those caused by the bloodthirsty corpse demon four years ago."
Bloodthirsty corpse demon?
Hearing this name, Lu Xuan remembered the records he had seen in the archives, a Calamity-level entity.
Since this bloodthirsty corpse demon was a Calamity-level entity, Lu Xuan would certainly not miss this opportunity.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lu Xuan had to personally go to Lanshan County.
Immediately, Lu Xuan made up his mind and looked at Vice Envoy He Yan.
"Vice Envoy He, how far is it from the Prefectural City to Lanshan County?"
After Lu Xuan spoke, Vice Envoy He Yan no longer doubted anything else and quickly answered Lu Xuan's question.
"Lanshan County is not far from the Prefectural City, less than a day's journey."
"If we travel quickly with the Divine Wind Steed, we will arrive in Lanshan County in half a day."
Through He Yan's observation these days, he had discovered a sign of Lu Xuan.
That was.
This Envoy seemed very concerned about these extraordinary, strange, and demonic beasts.
No, it wasn't just concern, but a kind of obsession.
Therefore, when Lu Xuan questioned him.
He Yan did not hesitate to estimate the time it would take for Lu Xuan to reach Lanshan County.
As a result, the facts were as He Yan expected, and Lu Xuan made a decision as he had predicted.
"Vice Envoy He Yan, send someone to prepare the Divine Wind Steed now. This Envoy will personally go to Lanshan for an inspection."
Lu Xuan thought about it and decided to go to Lanshan County alone.
Because there was no need to waste so many resources by taking other Blackbird Guards to Lanshan County.
In his conversation with Mo Ronghua, Lu Xuan learned a great secret.
That was that extraordinary events would occur frequently in the next few years, and the revival time would be greatly accelerated.
Therefore, Lu Xuan had his own little thoughts, and arranged for Zhao Sheng to be stationed on the border of Dengfeng County and Qingyun County during this period.
Let Zhao Sheng patrol the territories of Dengfeng County and Qingyun County.
He also notified the magistrate of Dengfeng County in advance that if any inconceivable and unusual phenomena occurred.
There was no need to report to the Prefect, just send someone to notify Zhao Sheng.
Of course, Lu Xuan would not treat Zhao Sheng badly, and directly issued this task as a Calamity-level mission, rewarding him with heaven and earth spiritual objects.
As for Qingyun County, Lu Xuan added a layer of protection and arranged for Qian Hao and Li Daren to secretly guard Lu Jiahe's side.
Otherwise, Lu Xuan was really worried about his father's safety.
"Prefect Hong, I am aware of your matter."
"This Envoy will leave for Lanshan County immediately. Do you have anything else to tell this Envoy?"
"If not, this Envoy will not entertain you."
Lu Xuan had already stood up at this time, and Vice Envoy He Yan and Hong Zhi stood up as well after seeing this.
Hong Zhi heard Lu Xuan asking him, and he quickly said, "Reporting to you, Envoy, this official has nothing to report to you."
"Then this official will take his leave first."
As an old fox, Hong Zhi naturally understood the hidden meaning of this Envoy's words.
That was to issue an order to leave.
Tsk tsk, this Envoy's style is really unusual.
However, since this Envoy is going to personally deal with that thing in Lanshan County, then this matter has nothing to do with him.
Not long after the Prefect of Baidao Prefecture left.
Outside the hall, a Blackbird Guard in white Blackbird uniform appeared at the gate.
Then, he met the eyes of Vice Envoy He Yan, who wanted to leave.
Vice Envoy He Yan stopped after seeing the person, seeming a little surprised.
"Su An, why are you here? Have you made any progress on the case last time?"
The person who came was a young man who looked only about thirty years old, a Marrow Refining Realm Perfected martial artist.
He was the most hopeful person in the Blackbird Guard of the Prefectural City to break through to the Blood Refining Realm and become a Yellow-rank Blackbird Guard.
Coincidentally, his other identity was one of the disciples accepted by this Vice Envoy He Yan.
Su An showed a respectful expression on his face after seeing Vice Envoy He Yan, and then saluted Lu Xuan and He Yan.
"Subordinate Su An has seen Envoy, Vice Envoy."
After finishing the salute, Su An then said to He Yan, "Reporting to Master, regarding the disappearance of Human-rank Blackbird Guard Huang Shi, this disciple has found some clues."
"Before Huang Shi disappeared, he had contact with Luo Jinghe, the Vice Prefect of Baidao Prefecture."
"Huang Shi's father, Huang Yangping, who was the former County Magistrate of Qingyun County, was one of the confidants of this Vice Prefect of Baidao Prefecture."
"Huang Yangping's position as County Magistrate of Qingyun County was strongly recommended by this Vice Prefect of Baidao Prefecture."
After hearing this information, He Yan muttered in his mouth, but did not notice the abnormality of Lu Xuan standing behind him.
"Former Qingyun County Magistrate Huang Yangping?"
He Yan was not surprised by this kind of collusion and conspiracy between officials.
This kind of thing is like this in every era, and even he himself has selfish motives.
"Yes, Master, the Qingyun County Magistrate Huang Yangping was assassinated by a mysterious person some time ago."
"That Baidao Prefecture Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe has publicly released the news."
"He will definitely not let it go!"
"Presumably, Huang Shi once sought help from Baidao Prefecture Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe because of his father's bizarre death."
"However, Huang Shi also disappeared not long after his father had an accident."
Hearing this, He Yan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Su An meaningfully. He already knew what Su An wanted to say.
"Master, this disciple believes that Huang Shi's death must be related to that Baidao Prefecture Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe."
"Perhaps he is afraid of exposing his relationship with the Blackbird Guard."
Su An nakedly stated the stakes in front of Lu Xuan and He Yan.
He Yan was about to speak, but Lu Xuan took the lead.
"You said that Baidao Prefecture Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe publicly said that he would not let go of the person who assassinated Huang Yangping, is that true!"
Lu Xuan interrupted, and He Yan immediately stepped aside, letting Su An face Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's direct gaze put a lot of pressure on Su An.
But Su An did not dare to neglect and immediately responded to Lu Xuan's question.
"Reporting to you, Envoy, yes."
"Subordinates have already found out that the Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe sent to Qingyun County to investigate Huang Yangping's cause of death,"
"Yesterday he returned to Luo's mansion."
