Chapter 1328: Chapter 58: Done by the Dream Demon! [Double-Length]
The Golden Horned Flood Dragon hovered in midair, devouring death energy.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
Fang Che sighed, "Even though we know the outcome, let’s check it out."
Xue Wanren clapped his palms together, and with a boom, a Heaven Splitting Palm landed on the vermilion gate.
With a boom, the gate shattered open.
Behind the door, two bodies like wooden stakes fell down, still maintaining their standing posture from life, holding spears in their hands.
Walking through the place, it was a shocking sight.
Inside Qingyun Manor, corpses were everywhere.
Everyone maintained their posture as if they were doing something before death, dying on the spot.
A woman doing laundry had her hands in the basin, already breathless.
A chef cooking held onto a spoon, fallen to the ground.
Everyone looked peaceful.
As if they all passed away together peacefully.
In the manor master’s house, men, women, young, and old, from the elderly with white hair to babies in arms, were no exceptions.
All died an unnatural death.
Horses died quietly in their stalls; the family dog passed peacefully in front of the kennel, countless chickens, ducks, and geese died in their pens.
All around, death was all that could be seen.
No sign of life.
Everyone swiftly made their way around Qingyun Manor once.
No exceptions.
All were dead!
"This is... extermination! Truly leaving no survivor!"
The faces of the eight were extremely somber.
"All wiped out!"
"Yet the manor’s possessions remain untouched. No sign of battle anywhere! Everything is unchanged!"
Xue Wanren’s face turned pale.
This matter is truly terrifying.
So many lives, gone all at once!
"This Qingyun Manor, at the very least, had over ten thousand lives, nearly twenty thousand! All dead! Not a single clue left behind!"
The corner of Feng Xiangdong’s mouth twitched, and he looked up at Dongyun Yu in amazement.
Everyone reacted the same: turning their heads straight to look at Dongyun Yu.
Because, they remembered clearly.
Yesterday, Dongyun Yu had said, "Perhaps everyone in Qingyun Manor is dead!?"
At the time, hearing Dongyun Yu say this, everyone felt he was just talking nonsense!
But who could have thought that such an absurd remark would become a grim prophecy!
Dongyun Yu’s scalp was tingling as he felt a layer of goosebumps rising all over.
Walking through such a ghostly place, unable to withstand the instinctive reaction, he blurted out, "Why... why are you all looking at me?"
"Nothing... just feels ridiculously coincidental. Even such nonsense turned out to be true!"
Fang Che sighed.
Everyone nodded, sharing the sentiment.
"Boss..." Feng Xiangdong’s face turned pale as well, "Doesn’t this resemble the methods of Wei Wo Zheng Sect? To achieve this... the only one I can think of is the Dream Demon!"
"Indeed!"
Xue Wanren and the others reacted simultaneously, "Correct! Dream Demon! Only this Old Demon has such means!"
Fang Che frowned in thought.
Among all people, only Fang Che could be 100% certain.
This was definitely not the work of the Dream Demon!
Because the Dream Demon had long contributed to his Sea of Divine Consciousness!
No matter what, it wouldn’t come out to harm anyone again.
Yet he couldn’t voice this fact.
Frowning, he said, "Indeed, this does resemble the Dream Demon’s methods! But this matter is already beyond our handling capabilities."
Meanwhile, a thought struck his mind: "Dream Demon? This place can indeed create the illusion that the Dream Demon exists!"
He immediately took out the Communication Jade to send a message to Zhao Shanhe: "General Zhao, we have discovered that all people in Qingyun Manor in the north of the city have died, as if they all died in their sleep... possibly the work of the Dream Demon!"
"Over twenty thousand, none spared!"
"Clues regarding the disappearance of traded young children have suddenly vanished!"
"We are at Qingyun Manor, awaiting the Chief’s next instructions."
Zhao Shanhe received the message, and the shock it brought was extraordinary.
His dignified face instantly turned deathly pale.
Dream Demon!
With a thunderous motion, he jumped up, hurriedly issued instructions.
"Stay put over there! Do not make any rash moves... do not disrupt the scene, we’re coming immediately!"
With a pale face, he immediately commanded, "Everyone come with me right away! North of the city, Qingyun Manor, critical situation! Suspected appearance of the Dream Demon!"
Everyone was universally taken aback!
Dream Demon!
This cannot be delayed.
Zhao Shanhe ran outside while continuously messaging Fang Che: "Do not move, do not act! The Dream Demon is not someone you can handle... do not, in any case, move!"
Now he had only one thought.
Qingyun Manor being wiped out was irrelevant, but Fang Che and the eight of them couldn’t afford to lose even one!
Oh my ancestors, please don’t move...
Zhao Shanhe assembled his troops like a wildfire and immediately took off toward the north of the city.
Fang Che and the others walked within Qingyun Manor.
Feng Xiangdong and others silently observed.
"It must be the Dream Demon! Definitely the Dream Demon!"
Such a bizarre method of death, it’s hard to find another like it on the entire continent.
Everyone spoke in unison.
Truth be told, if not for Fang Che knowing otherwise, he would have thought the same.
This Qingyun Manor was definitely not anything good, that was certain, but seeing so many die at once, Fang Che still felt a sense of bleakness.
What an exceptionally cruel method.
"They have been dead for about two days, everyone died at the same time."
Dongyun Yu flew around, checking the entire Qingyun Manor from south to north, east to west.
