The next day, outside the magistrate’s office, dried corpses were laid on the ground.
Magistrate Li Mu’s face was ashen. This was already the fifth batch of corpses.
A few months ago, when the first batch of corpses appeared, they didn’t take it seriously.
After all, there were many refugees at that time, and people were dying every day. So what if there were a few more corpses?
However, a second batch appeared, followed by a third and a fourth.
A batch of corpses would appear almost every month.
Moreover, the interval between the appearance of the corpses was getting shorter and shorter, which made the magistrate realize that something was wrong.
Therefore, Li Mu asked the coroner to examine the corpse carefully. In the end, he made a shocking discovery.
These corpses did not seem to have been killed by humans or beasts.
“Fiendish demon martial artists!”
“It must be the work of those legendary demon warriors.”
“When a country is about to fall, there must be a monster! Now, even the demon martial artists have appeared…”
Li Mu had a headache.
Fiendish demon martial artists were almost legendary existences.
However, the government had always had records of demon and monster martial artists.
Every time the fiendish demon martial artists appeared, they would bring disaster to the world. Usually, at the end of a dynasty, a large number of fiendish demon martial artists would appear.
It had been more than 300 years since the Big Fish Dynasty was established. It was indeed the end of the dynasty.
“Big… Your Excellency, if it really is a Monster Race martial artist, what about the yamen?”
The constable asked nervously.
Legend had it that demonic martial artists were actually humans, but after practicing demonic martial arts, some could even “demonize” themselves, turning themselves into terrifying monsters that were neither human nor ghost.
It was just that usually, demonic and demon martial artists were like normal people. They hid extremely deeply and were very difficult to find.
Now that a demonic martial artist had appeared in Nanyang Prefecture, they would not dare to investigate if they were asked to.
It was fine if they didn’t find out, but once they did, these constables would definitely die without a burial place.
” There are so many martial arts centers and sects in Nanyang Prefecture,” said Li Mu coldly.” There are also many martial artists recruited by the wealthy and powerful. There are many martial artists in the Visceral Refinement Realm among them.”
“Gather them all and let them investigate.”
” Humph, it’s fine if they didn’t contribute to the matter of the 13 Desert
Cavalry last time. Now that the Monster Race and Demon Race’s martial artists have appeared, they still don’t want to contribute. It’s not up to them!”
Li Mu was quite dissatisfied with these forces.
Although the world was in chaos now, Nanyang Prefecture was not affected much. The imperial court still controlled Nanyang Prefecture.
As a magistrate, his words carried considerable weight.
Therefore, the yamen began to post notices everywhere, offering rewards for some strange martial artists or suspicious people.
Lu Changsheng walked past the government office.
He saw that everyone was gathered together, so he squeezed forward. Then, he saw the corpses on the ground and the notice posted by the government office.
“Fiendish demon warriors?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised.
He knew about martial artists, but what was with the fiendish demon martial artists? This was the first time he had heard of it.
However, looking at the notice posted by the yamen, it was obvious that they knew about the existence of the demonic martial artists.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the dead body on the ground.
The bodies were all dried up, which made Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrow. He immediately thought of the bodies he saw last night.
“Could it be that those corpses were killed by the demonic cultivators?”
Lu Changsheng took a deep look at the dead body on the ground, then went to Miao Ren Hall.
Many apprentices in the Wonder Benevolence Hall were also discussing the matter of the demon warriors.
Lu Changsheng glanced at Wang Ruhai. Wang Ruhai was an experienced and knowledgeable man.
” Doctor Wang,” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but ask,” do you know what a demon warrior is?”
Wang Ruhai shook his head and let out a long sigh.” Fiendish demon martial artists. It’s been so many years since they’ve appeared. Anyway, things about them are just legends.”
” I’ve heard some legends since I was young. The demonic cultivators used to be humans, but they practiced evil techniques and thus possessed some of the demonic beasts ‘strange abilities.”
“Many yaomo use living humans to practice. Or it could devour the flesh of living people. It was extremely terrifying. Only martial artists at the Divine Power Realm and above can deal with demonic martial artists.”
Lu Changsheng pondered.
“Doctor Wang, I heard that the source of demonic cultivators is demonic beasts. Have you ever seen a demonic beast?”
Lu Changsheng asked again.
“Demons? I’ve never seen or even heard of this.”
“Perhaps demons and devils are just rumors. It was just something people made up. The demonic martial artists are just a group of people who practice evil techniques. Because they are too evil, they use living people to practice, so they are called demonic martial artists.”
Wang Ruhai did not seem to believe that there were any demons.
They even felt that the fiendish demon martial artists were just ‘smearing’.
It would be more appropriate to call them “evil martial artists”.
Lu Changsheng didn’t ask further.
He felt that if he wanted to know more about the Monster Race and Demon
Race martial artists, he had to go to the magistrate’s office.
As a magistrate, Li Mu must know more about the situation of the demonic and human warriors.
However, Li Mu was the Magistrate, and Lu Changsheng couldn’t ask him to tell him about the demon warriors.
However, Zhuang Shisan might not be the same.
At dusk, Lu Changsheng quickly returned to the Miracle Hand Garden.
He waited until it was dark before he changed his appearance into Zhuang Shisan and left the Miracle Hand Garden quickly, rushing towards the magistrate’s yamen.
At this moment, the magistrate’s office was brightly lit.
During the day, Li Mu gathered the rich merchants and the Jianghu forces in Nanyang Prefecture. He used all kinds of methods to get the forces to take action and track down the whereabouts of the demonic and human warriors.
However, he was still worried.
What would he do after he found the demonic martial artists?
There were no Divine Power Realm martial artists in the yamen..
