Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

The middle-aged man standing in the very center was about 1.7 meters tall and had a plump figure. He was the magistrate of Dengfeng County.

The Dengfeng County magistrate looked at the three people sitting in front of him without any dissatisfaction. Instead, he had a flattering smile and cupped his hands in greeting.

"This humble official, Zeng Fan, the magistrate of Dengfeng County, greets you, esteemed Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) adults!"

He was overjoyed to see them.

A week ago, the murder that occurred in the county town had made him tremble with fear.

Unable to withstand the pressure, he immediately reported it to the prefectural governor of Baidao Prefecture.

Then these Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) adults arrived in Dengfeng County early this morning.

Facing the flattery of the Dengfeng County magistrate, the three Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) ignored him directly.

The middle-aged man sitting in the center was the leader of this team, a martial artist in the Great Perfection of the Blood Refinement Realm.

The other two Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) were martial artists in the Minor Completion of the Blood Refinement Realm.

"Alright, Master Zeng, no need for formalities. The three of us were personally dispatched by Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) to rush here. It's important to take care of official business first!"

"This is our token, Master Zeng, please confirm it first."

Then, the middle-aged man took out a blue-green token from his waist. Seeing this, the two people next to him also took out two tokens at the same time.

"Zhao Sheng, Qian Hao, Li Daren."

Dengfeng County Magistrate Zeng Fan glanced over it roughly and saw the names engraved on the token.

Seeing that the names above were consistent with the information sent by the prefectural governor, the smile on Zeng Fan's face became even more enthusiastic.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"What Master Zhao said is correct. This humble official also thinks so. It's important to take care of official business first, so as not to delay the precious time of you adults."

After Zeng Fan finished his greetings, a trace of worry was hidden deep in his heart.

The Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard), who are usually rarely seen, now three of them suddenly appeared, and they are still Huang-level(黄级: Yellow-level) Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard)!

As an official of the imperial court, Zeng Fan naturally knew the situation of the Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard).

Every Huang-level(黄级: Yellow-level) Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) is a terrifying existence in the Blood Refinement Realm, possessing terrifying blood energy and unfathomable strength.

You should know that he controls the resources of a county and has cultivated for most of his life, but he has only barely reached the Great Perfection of the Marrow Refinement Realm.

Unexpectedly, this time, three Huang-level(黄级: Yellow-level) Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) adults could personally come to Dengfeng County.

It seems that the strength of the ghost that appeared this time cannot be underestimated.

"Then please move, everyone. Please follow this humble official. All the deceased have been placed by this humble official in a heavily guarded place."

County Magistrate Zeng Fan and other county government officials surrounded the three Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) like stars surrounding the moon, and walked all the way to the westernmost side of the county government.

On the westernmost side of the county government, there was a mortuary temporarily built with green stone bricks, which looked like a large house that could accommodate about a hundred people.

County Magistrate Zeng Fan raised his finger and pointed to the green brick house, and then said to Zhao Sheng, the leader of the Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard).

"Master Zhao, this is where the deceased are stored."

Zhao Sheng looked in the direction pointed by County Magistrate Zeng Fan, and then without saying a word, he directly accelerated his speed and walked towards the house.

Seeing this, the two Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) next to Zhao Sheng also took the lead and followed closely behind Zhao Sheng.

Guarding outside the gate of the green brick house were six yamen(衙役: Yamen Runners) runners from the county government.

The six of them saw Zhao Sheng and a group of adults from their county government from a distance.

Therefore, these six yamen(衙役: Yamen Runners) runners were also very sensible. When they saw Zhao Sheng walking over like an arrow, they stood aside one after another, leaving a path open.

"We have seen you adults!"

The yamen(衙役: Yamen Runners) runner closest to the door directly opened the gate of the green brick house, allowing Zhao Sheng to walk in.

The moment the door was opened wide, a faint white chill visible to the naked eye rushed towards him, making people feel like they were in an ice cellar, with a bone-piercing chill.

The moment Zhao Sheng went in, the internal scene of the house was unobstructed and came into his eyes.

There was not much decoration in the house, it was very simple and ordinary. An iron cage almost occupied the entire area of the room.

Inside the iron cage, there were about twenty hard wooden plank beds. On top of each wooden bed lay a corpse, with its face covered by a white cloth.

On the walls outside the iron cage, there were more than a dozen large wooden basins, filled with many large ice cubes.

Zhao Sheng frowned upon seeing this scene.

Then he walked to the iron cage door, stretched out a hand and forcibly snapped the iron lock above.

Then, under the surprised gazes of a group of county government officials, Zhao Sheng opened the iron door nonchalantly and walked in quickly.

Zhao Sheng walked to the nearest wooden plank bed and used his hand to lift the white cloth covering the corpse's face.

An extremely terrifying face appeared in front of Zhao Sheng. That face no longer had the cover of skin.

The bright red and eerie flesh on the face was exposed to the air.

The two eyeballs filled with fear stared fixedly at the ceiling.

Without the protection of lips, the deep yellow teeth were exposed, curving into an astonishing arc, as if smiling.

Standing behind Zhao Sheng was a middle-aged man named Qian Hao.

When he saw the corpse's face, a solemn look appeared on Qian Hao's face. He suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Lao(老: Old) Zhao, it seems that Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) did not guess wrong, it was indeed done by it!"

"Human-Faced Ghoul!"

Zhao Sheng nodded in conviction after hearing Qian Hao's words.

"Yes, it should be correct."

"Lao(老: Old) Qian, Lao(老: Old) Li, we must be more cautious this time,"

"You two should understand the terror of the Human-Faced Ghoul without me saying it."

As soon as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, Li Daren, another Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard), also stopped being silent.

I saw Li Daren looking at the corpse on the bed with a strong look of doubt on his face.

"Lao(老: Old) Zhao, I remember that Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) had already eliminated this Human-Faced Ghoul once seven years ago, didn't he?"

"How could it recover so quickly?"

According to the records of their Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) for so many years, the time for transcendent anomalies to recover after being scattered is generally more than ten years.

And the recovery time of this Human-Faced Ghoul has obviously been advanced, a full three years earlier.

If it hadn't been for the prefect of Baidao Prefecture personally sending someone to notify the Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard), they would have suspected that someone was so bold as to dare to play with their Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard).

Zhao Sheng looked up at the other corpses, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said.

"I don't know, I asked Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy), and he wasn't very clear either."

"However, in recent years, the number of occurrences of transcendent anomalies and demon beasts has become increasingly obvious."

"In particular, the recovery time of transcendent anomalies has also become abnormal."

"Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) originally wanted to come here in person to investigate the reason for the early recovery of the Human-Faced Ghoul."

"However, there are suspected news of the demon people of the Pure World White Lotus Sect appearing in Lingshi County, and there seems to be an elder."

"Therefore, Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) personally led the team and took most of the elites in the Xuan Niao Wei(玄鸟卫: Black Bird Guard) to Lingshi County to wipe out the remnants of the Pure World White Lotus Sect."

"Therefore, Xuan Shi(玄使: Mysterious Envoy) had to send the three of us to Dengfeng County in a hurry to solve the Human-Faced Ghoul here."
