Chapter 278 - 245: Unintentionally Kind, Heart of a Newborn
"Tell me, how exactly were you injured three days ago?"
Zhou Ping’an had always known that the Red Lotus Sect was very interested in Qingyang City.
Or rather, in Qingyang, East Mountain, and Pinghu counties, this perpetually rebellious sect had set its sights early, laying traps and placing informants, only waiting for the right moment to strike.
However, he hadn’t expected that the first to attack, at the forefront, targeting his own City Guards, would be people from the Blood Shadow Sect.
"Brother Zhou, come with me, and you’ll understand," Tang Lin’er said, his eyes flickering with a hint of anger as he led the way while talking. "Since that day at the entrance of Yinfeng Valley, my men were ordered to thoroughly check whether any children had gone missing from all regions... and indeed, a bizarre incident was discovered."
"I specifically sought out the former Red Lotus informants, and after inquiring extensively, confirmed that within Qingyang Territory, over the past seven to eight years, the number of newborns greatly differs from the number of children currently accounted for."
"How much lower?"
"One in ten survive."
Perhaps because of this situation being too shocking, even after such a long time, Tang Lin’er was still inwardly alarmed.
Zhou Ping’an’s eyelids twitched heavily.
One in ten was far too extreme.
