Chapter 60: A Restless Night
Late at night, with the moon Sining faintly, tonight’s Jinyang City was destined to be restless.
The main gate of the city lord’s mansion collapsed with a loud crash. Si Zheng stepped inside, his face terrifyingly grim.
Not long ago, the five subordinates he had sent to monitor the city lord’s mansion had their soul lamps unexpectedly extinguished. Anxious, he hurried here and found the positions where the five had hidden. All he saw was bloodstained clothes on the ground, with not a single corpse left behind!
The deaths of these five men were directly related to his orders. In a fit of anger, Si Zheng gathered the members of the Demon Slayer Department and destroyed the main gate of the city lord’s mansion, ruSing inside to find the mastermind behind all this, intending to exact a bloody revenge!
Due to the commotion, people inside the mansion hurriedly ran out, including City Lord Ye Heng and his son Ye Luoting.
Seeing his own gate destroyed, Ye Luoting shouted, “What do you think you’re doing? This is the city lord’s mansion. The Demon Slayer Department has no right to run amok here!”
Si Zheng waved his right hand, and Ye Luoting, who was hysterical, was immediately captured, unable to utter another word.
“The mansion has been infiltrated by evil spirits. Acting under the orders of the Demon Slayer Department, I will thoroughly search every corner of the mansion and gather everyone here. If anyone dares to resist…” Si Zheng put down the large wine gourd he carried, and with a bang, the ground cracked, and cracks spread in all directions.
The threat was evident!
