Boom!
The door was kicked open.
The man was sent flying backward, landing motionless on the bed.
Li Nanshuang let out a cold harrumph as she turned and left.
It was only after the girl had walked far away that the man played dead no longer and suddenly got up, shouting:
"I’m telling you, the kid was yours from the start, don’t end up regretting when he becos soone else’s, you hear , girl."
——
Jiang Shouzhong arrived at the Murong Family’s mansion, where many guards were patrolling.
There were also a few Governnt Officials and plainclothes internal guards constantly entering and exiting through the courtyard gate.
Jiang Shouzhong scaled a high wall near the rear courtyard and stealthily infiltrated the morgue where Murong Nan’s body had previously been stored.
After dual cultivating with Xie, his cultivation had improved trendously.
The once relatively weak Water Taoist Body and Wood Taoist Body had both reached the Great Profound Sect Master Realm.
One could say that all five of his Taoist Bodies were now of the Great Profound Sect Master level, only a step away from the Heaven Desolation Boundary.
It must be said that dual cultivation, with the aid of the Taoist River Map, indeed had many benefits.
Especially when dual cultivating with a super-skilled female expert.
Jiang Shouzhong pushed open the door of the morgue, and a chilling cold that penetrated the skin hit him in the face, as the room was gloomy and dim.
Inside, there were still two bodies.
Only the body of Zhang Lanlan with black grape-like features was gone, replaced by that of Murong Shuo.
Jiang Shouzhong lifted the white cloth and looked at Murong Shuo’s corpse.
The body was protected by special talismans, used to prevent decay, and the knife wounds appeared even blacker.
"It really does look quite like the Seven Kills Blade."
Jiang Shouzhong observed the wounds, murmuring to himself.
The perpetrator had deliberately chosen a knife akin to the Seven Kills Blade to kill Murong Shuo and then left behind his Identity Token... As for the scent left on the bed by the red skull demon, it had unintentionally aided the perpetrator.
Just who is trying to fra ?
Jiang Shouzhong was at a loss, taking a stool and sitting next to the corpse, closing his eyes to sense his surroundings.
As for the so-called sensing, he had later figured out so of the reasons behind it.
It seed to be the innate death energy in his body that was awakening the dead.
But as always, it’s all about luck.
So dead bodies could not be awakened while others could.
However, this ti, Jiang Shouzhong was lucky, and soon, a familiar feeling enveloped him, and he found himself within a pitch-black space, with black liquid beginning to spread on the ground and the corpse abruptly sitting up straight.
"Who killed you?"
Jiang Shouzhong directly asked the critical question.
Murong Shuo’s face was pale, and his mouth slowly moved, "Jiang... Mo..."
?
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned.
Could it be that while he was dual cultivating with Xie, his spirit wandered and involuntarily killed the person?
He had not expected this outco.
Dead people don’t lie.
That ans, until his death, Murong Shuo believed it was Jiang Mo who had killed him.
It seems that at the ti, soone had worn a disguise mask similar to Jiang Mo’s and, coupled with the evening’s darkness, and the fact that the two weren’t familiar with each other, a mistake was made.
"What color clothing was he wearing?"
"...Black."
As expected, only black could blend into the night, offering better camouflage.
Jiang Shouzhong continued to inquire, "Did he have any strange behavior at the ti, or was there anything unusual about him?"
"His... right hand was missing the little finger..."
The black liquid continued to spread to the mouths of both of them.
Jiang Shouzhong could no longer ask the fourth question as the liquid engulfed them, and his consciousness returned to the morgue.
Familiar intense pain swept through his body.
Jiang Shouzhong curled up, retching continuously, his face deathly pale.
After a while, so color returned to his face.
He caught his breath as he straightened up, starting to analyze the clues he had obtained.
Firstly, the person could steal the Token from his room, indicating they were very familiar with where he stayed.
Inside Liushan Division, there were no shortage of guest rooms.
Secondly, the person could use a disguise mask to impersonate him, which indicated that they had seen him from up close and had observed him.
After all, as a Ministry of Justice official, even in the darkness, Murong Shuo had a certain ability to distinguish features; even the slightest flaw in a disguise mask could be spotted by an observer.
Thirdly, the person’s right hand was missing the little finger.
This was the most crucial clue.
Such a distinct physical characteristic would make the search much easier.
Who could it be?
