In an instant, the residence of Autumn Water beca the hottest topic among the Jianghu folks within Yangzhou Prefecture. A large number of people rushed over, intending to see what actually happened at the Autumn Water Residence.
Qin Yuesheng was no exception. After leaving Yixin Residence, he imdiately hurried towards Autumn Water Residence. By the ti he arrived at Sunset Mirror Lake, the place was already overcrowded with people, with Jianghu warriors wielding swords everywhere.
"What a tragedy."
"Who could have inflicted such calamity upon the Autumn Water Residence? The thods were truly brutal."
"Could it be soone from the Demon Sect?" Hearing these speculations, Qin Yuesheng directly approached the gate of the water manor, planning to go inside and investigate.
At this mont, inside the Autumn Water Residence, people were rummaging everywhere. So with sticky fingers were even secretly stuffing things into their arms. Although their actions seed discreet, Qin Yuesheng saw through them completely.
Nevertheless, Qin Yuesheng naturally had no intention of interfering in such matters. With the demise of Autumn Water Residence, the belongings within the manor were considered ownerless; it was only natural for the quick-handed to claim them.
Qin Yuesheng took out the Spirit Fox Eye and placed it in front of his eyes. Instantly, he saw a large amount of gray air lingering within the water manor.
Hallways, rooms, courtyards—it's everywhere.
These gray airs floated like drifting strands, mainly in the form of faceless human faces, aimlessly roaming around the Autumn Water Residence.
When these gray airs passed through others' bodies, they shivered inexplicably.
"With Autumn Water Residence being a top force in Jiangnan, they should possess certain ways to handle ghostly and monstrous entities. This ti, it must have been a powerful evil presence to annihilate the entire household overnight without leaving even a single person to report." Qin Yuesheng pondered.
The corpses and severed limbs of the disciples of Autumn Water Residence were scattered throughout the manor. Just as Lan Xiaoyuan said, these dead disciples bore bizarre smiles on their faces, with eyes that smiled long and curved, looking rather eerie.
These corpses naturally awaited the authorities to arrive for handling. It must be said, their actions were truly slow. The warriors rushing to watch the excitent had all arrived, yet not a shadow of the soldiers could be seen.
Arriving at the main hall, the area was exceptionally spacious. Originally intended as the main venue for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, the main hall now lay littered with corpses—maids, servants, disciples—all mixed chaotically.
On the two main seats opposite the gate sat two headless corpses with an imposing deanor. Their conspicuous attire imdiately identified them as the two masters of Autumn Water Residence, Qiu Zhong and Shui Cangsheng.
Unfortunately, Qin Yuesheng had never even seen the faces of these two famous heroes of Jiangnan; they had already t such a tragic fate, dying without even having their heads recovered—ending with an incomplete death.
"The presence of hostility is not high, indicating that the evil presence responsible has already left." Qin Yuesheng thought as he approached the bodies of Qiu Zhong and Shui Cangsheng, holding the Exorcism Toad.
At this mont, many Jianghu warriors still remained in the main hall—so enthusiastically scrutinizing clues, others making fortunes off the dead by taking rings and jade pendants from the disciples of Autumn Water Residence, and so even excessively probing the corpses for other valuables.
A burly man with whiskers squatted beside a maid, rummaging. He didn't notice when suddenly sothing resembling a worm crawled out from the maid's neck wound, squirming towards the man's foot.
Not long after, the man felt a sting in his foot, as if bitten by an mosquito. He quickly looked down and found a small hole had appeared on his cloth shoe unexpectedly.
The sting sensation quickly passed. The man rubbed the shoe surface, not paying much attention, and stood to walk toward another nearby corpse.
Everyone in the main hall focused intently on their own tasks. Qin Yuesheng was just about to look elsewhere when a sudden shout nearby imdiately drew everyone's attention.
The whiskered man shouted in pain, clutching his chest as his face turned grayish-purple, eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
"Ah!" The man clutched his chest, trying to speak, but his throat seed blocked, producing sound but unable to utter a word.
Such a strange situation quickly attracted everyone's gaze in the main hall, staring at him inquisitively while discreetly readying themselves for any conflict.
Suddenly, the man's limbs stiffened, his body suddenly fell backward, crashing into a chair.
Everyone quickly retreated, examining from afar.
With the enhanced perception from the Biluo Eye, Qin Yuesheng could clearly observe the man's body without moving closer.
The man's abdon bulged, still swelling as if a ball were placed inside.
In just a few blinks, with a loud pop, the man's abdon ruptured, scattering a profusion of blood, fragnts of viscera, and remnants violently in all directions.
