Ji Fengyan turned around. Qin Muyao was already standing behind her and Liu Ruse. His sharp eyes looked past everyone and at the b.l.o.o.d.y scene.
“Seems like… there’s something huge about to happen to the inst.i.tution.” There was no emotion in his voice. He slowly lowered his head and met with Ji Fengyan’s questioning gaze.
“The defense around the school of gold cultivators is very high. Even if it was the middle of the night, there would be many guards patrolling around, yet… before discovering the victim, none of the patrolling guards noticed anything abnormal. Moreover, what’s even more coincidental was that the person being attacked was actually a student from the school of gold cultivators,” Qin Muyao narrowed his eyes as he continued coldly.
“What is the issue with a gold cultivator being attacked?” Ji Fengyan asked sharply.
Qin Muyao took a glance at Ji Fengyan. “A gold cultivator was born with unique abilities. They had the ability to create gold through cultivation skills. It was also rumored that the organs of a gold cultivator had a special use for the demons. However, no one knows what use it has specifically.”
While Ji Fengyan and Qin Muyao were talking, the mentors had already started to clear up the victim’s corpse. But when they were about to lift up the skeleton, all of a sudden!
A loud explosion was heard and the blood-stained bones instantly exploded, causing countless pieces of broken bones flying towards the surrounding people!
I heard a series of miserable cries. None of the people had expected the student’s bones to suddenly explode. The students and mentors who were at the most forefront were cut by the flying pieces of bones and fresh blood instantly flowed to the ground.
Everyone was thunderstruck. The painful shrieks around made people panic even more.
The sudden explosion had shocked everyone and some cowardly young men started to run in all directions while screaming.
Ji Fengyan, Liu Ruse and Qin Muyao looked at one another. They immediately made their way through the chaotic crowd and carried those injured young men and mentors to a safe place.
The mentors who had cuts over their faces and blood flowing down did not care about their pain. They ordered Ji Fengyan and others to immediately evacuate the crowd. The guards guarding outside immediately gathered and surrounded the gold cultivation room.
But the strange incident did not happen again.
After the explosion, the gold cultivation room became even more messy. The guards investigated the scene and cleared up the mess. But when they used water to flush away the bloodstains on the ground, an eerie sight appeared before them again.
A demonic b.l.o.o.d.y ill.u.s.tration was seen on the ground. The ill.u.s.tration was round shaped and there was a sinister and bewitching ill.u.s.tration drawn using fresh blood. No matter how hard they scrubbed, the guards could not wash away the ill.u.s.tration.
Ji Fengyan realised that the ill.u.s.tration was exactly at the same spot where the victim had collapsed.
The mentor who was covered in injuries struggled to stand up. After seeing that ill.u.s.tration, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Quickly go and inform the inst.i.tution!” he said with a trembling voice. Then, he looked at Ji Fengyan and the other students standing outside the door and said with a stern look, “The inst.i.tution will settle everything that had happened today. You guys return first and do not loiter outside before daylight.”
Before the inst.i.tute director arrived, Ji Fengyan and the other students were escorted by the guards to their dormitories. After they returned, Ji Fengyan stood by her window and watched as the guards were reallocated. There was a threefold increase of guards at each inst.i.tution within one night!
