Chapter 125: Investigating Huang Yangping’s Cause of Death? White Dao Prefecture Deputy Judge

Beside him, He Yan, hearing about the Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha from Lanshan County, furrowed his brow and inquired with Hong Zhi.

"The Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha, wasn’t that ghostly thing already eliminated?"

"Four years ago, our Profound Bird Guard dispatched five Yellow-level Profound Bird Guards to eradicate it."

"How is it revived so quickly?"

"Old Hong, could you have guessed wrong?"

He Yan was naturally aware of the current transformations of the extraordinary and strange.

However, the revival of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha in Lanshan County seemed extraordinarily fast.

This speed of resurgence of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha was hard for He Yan to accept.

"No, according to the report from the County Magistrate of Lanshan County, the manner of these deaths indeed matches that of the Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha from four years ago."

The Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha?

Lu Xuan, upon hearing this name, recalled seeing records in the archives; it was classified as a fierce level anomaly.

Since this Bloodthirsty Corpse Sha was a fierce level anomaly, Lu Xuan would not miss this opportunity.

Regardless of the truth, Lu Xuan decided he must personally visit Lanshan County.

Resolutely, Lu Xuan made up his mind and looked at Mr. He.

"Mr. He, how far is the journey from the City Mansion to Lanshan County?"

After Lu Xuan spoke, Mr. He no longer doubted and quickly answered Lu Xuan’s question.

"The Lanshan County town is not far from the City Mansion, less than a day’s journey."

"If one travels quickly with Shen Fengjun, they can reach Lanshan County town in half a day."

During these days, having observed He Yan, he noticed a certain sign in Lu Xuan.

That was.

This Lord of the Profound was remarkably interested in these extraordinary anomalies and beasts.

More than just interested, there was a sort of obsession.

So, when Lu Xuan asked him.

He Yan unhesitatingly estimated the time Lu Xuan would need to reach Lanshan County.

As expected, the facts were just as He Yan anticipated; Lu Xuan, within his expectations, made a decision.

"Mr. He, go now to prepare Shen Fengjun, this time I will personally go to Lanshan for an inspection."

Lu Xuan, after some thought, decided to visit Lanshan County alone.

Because there was no need to waste resources by taking other Profound Bird Guards to Lanshan County.

In a conversation with Mo Ronghua, Lu Xuan learned a huge secret.

The extraordinary anomalies in recent years would appear frequently, and the revival time would greatly advance.

Therefore, Lu Xuan had his own considerations, arranging for Zhao Sheng to patrol the borders of Dengfeng County and Qingyun County during this time.

He instructed Zhao Sheng to patrol within the jurisdiction of Dengfeng County and Qingyun County.

He also informed Zhao Sheng to notify the County Magistrate of Dengfeng County in advance, that if any inexplicable anomalies occur, there is no need to report to the Prefect, just send someone to inform Zhao Sheng.

Of course, Lu Xuan would not shortchange Zhao Sheng, directly issuing this as a fierce task with a reward of a spiritual object.

Regarding Qingyun County, Lu Xuan added a layer of protection, arranging for Qian Hao and Li Daren to secretly guard Lu Jiahe.

Otherwise, Lu Xuan really couldn’t be at ease about his father’s safety.

"Mr. Hong, I am aware of your situation."

"I will immediately head to Lanshan County; do you have anything else to inform me of?"

"If not, I will not be hosting you further."

Standing up at this time, Lu Xuan was observed by Mr. He and Hong Zhi, who also stood up.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s question, Hong Zhi quickly replied, "Replying to the Lord Profound, I have nothing more to report."

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Being the old fox he is, Hong Zhi naturally read between the lines of the Lord Profound’s words.

Meaning he was being shown out.

Tsk tsk, this Lord Profound has quite a different approach.

However, since this Lord Profound is handling that ghostly matter in Lanshan County personally, it has nothing to do with him.

Soon after the departure of the Prefect of White Dao Prefecture.

Outside the hall, a Profound Bird Guard dressed in the white clothing of the Profound Bird Guard, appeared at the door.

Then, he made eye contact with Mr. He, who was about to leave.

Seeing the newcomer, Mr. He stopped in his tracks, seemingly surprised.

"Su An, why are you here, do you have any leads on that case from last time?"

The newcomer was a young man appearing around thirty, a Martial Artist at the Marrow Refining Realm Perfection.

He was among those in the City Mansion Xuan Bird Guards with the best hope of breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm and becoming a Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard.

Incidentally, he was also one of Mr. He’s disciples.

Upon seeing Mr. He, Su An showed a respectful expression on his face, then saluted Lu Xuan and Mr. He.

"Subordinate Su An greets the Lord Profound, Subordinate Profound Lord."

After completing the salute, Su An addressed Mr. He: "Reporting to Master, concerning the disappearance of Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard Huang Shi, I have discovered some leads."

"Huang Shi had contact with the Associate Prefect of White Dao Prefecture, Luo Jinghe, before he disappeared."

"Huang Shi’s father, Huang Yangping, the former County Chancellor of Qingyun County, was one of the confidants of this Associate Prefect Luo Jinghe."

"The position of County Chancellor that Huang Yangping held in Qingyun County, was strongly recommended by this Associate Prefect."

Hearing this information, He Yan mumbled quietly, not noticing anything unusual about Lu Xuan behind him.

"The former County Chancellor of Qingyun County, Huang Yangping?"

Such collusion among officials was nothing surprising to He Yan.

This sort of thing happened in every era, even he had his own selfish interests.

"Yes, Master, Huang Yangping from Qingyun County was assassinated by a mysterious person some days ago."

"That Associate Prefect Luo Jinghe from White Dao Prefecture has publicly stated."

"He will not let the assassin of Huang Yangping go unpunished!"

"Presumably, Huang Shi contacted the Associate Prefect Luo Jinghe for help due to his father’s mysterious sudden death."

"However, shortly after his father’s incident, Huang Shi himself also disappeared."

Upon hearing this, He Yan’s eyes narrowed as he looked meaningfully at Su An, already knowing what Su An wanted to say.

"Master, I believe, Huang Shi’s death is undoubtedly related to that Associate Prefect Luo Jinghe from White Dao Prefecture."

"Perhaps he fears exposure of his collusion with the Profound Bird Guard."

In front of Lu Xuan and He Yan, Su An bluntly revealed the stakes involved.

He Yan was about to speak but was preempted by Lu Xuan from behind.

"You said the Associate Prefect Luo Jinghe publicly vowed not to overlook the assassin of Huang Yangping, is this true!"

Lu Xuan’s interjection, prompted He Yan to immediately step aside, allowing Su An to face Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan’s direct gaze put immense pressure on Su An.

But Su An dared not neglect, and immediately answered Lu Xuan’s question.

"Reporting to the Lord Profound, it is true."

"I have already confirmed, that the associate prefect Luo Jinghe sent people to Qingyun County town,

to investigate the cause of death of Huang Yangping, and they returned to the Luo Mansion yesterday."
