132: The evil corpse appears! Zhang Qi's fear!

When Su Quanchuan saw Zhang Qi’s expression, how could he not know what he was thinking?

“Lord Zhang, now that things have come to this, it’s too late to regret.”

“We should still think about how to properly handle this matter.”

“Otherwise, not only will I be punished, but Lord Zhang, you will also not escape this calamity.”

Su Quanchuan then looked at the Chief Constable of the county yamen and quickly said, “Lao Feng, immediately go and inform some people for me, tell them I have important matters to discuss!”

Su Quanchuan planned to gather the remaining county yamen officials, then unify their statements to cover up this mistake.

“Hmph, Lord Su, if the Mystic Envoy blames us, I will definitely tell the truth.”

Zhang Qi was no longer bothering to feign politeness with Su Quanchuan; it was clearly his disregard and indulgence of those rumors that led to today’s situation.

Su Quanchuan watched Zhang Qi flick his sleeves and leave, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenching into fists, then relaxing.

This Zhang Qi, presuming on his noble family background, looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

Hmph!

Once I Breakthrough to the Blood Refinement Realm, I will definitely make him regret it!

That demonic thing’s power has greatly increased, it’s nothing more than a few more commoners dying.

If it allows me to Breakthrough to the Blood Refinement Realm, then these commoners will have died for a worthy cause.

Inside the inn, Lu Xuan did not leave his room, staying inside.

Until the innkeeper brought food and wine midway through.

“Guest, you still haven’t planned on leaving Lanshan County?”

“You don’t know, early this morning, I saw a large group of people queuing up to leave the county.”

“Alas, who knows when these days of fear and trepidation will end.”

The innkeeper’s words caused a ripple in Lu Xuan’s calm heart.

“Innkeeper, hearing you say that, have all the people in the county seen that dirty thing?”

“Did the people from the county yamen not come forward to deal with that dirty thing?”

“Young Master, look at what you’re saying, if we had seen that dirty thing, wouldn’t we have been scared to death already?”

“I only heard it from others!”

“As for the people from the county yamen.”

“Early this morning, they posted notices throughout the city, stating that Ren Yiwai’s entire family died from acute poison.”

“Look, is that a reason anyone can believe?”

… … … .

The innkeeper’s reply left Lu Xuan silent for a moment.

After the innkeeper left, Lu Xuan thought to himself.

If the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend does not appear after tonight.

Lu Xuan prepared to personally go to the county yamen; he wanted to see just how incompetent the officials of this county yamen were.

When the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend first appeared, they turned a blind eye, allowing rumors to spread unchecked.

Now that the entire city is in a state of panic, they are only just thinking about making amends.

“Damn Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), my future will absolutely not be ruined by you.”

At the Zhang residence, Zhang Qi, after returning to his mansion, still felt incredibly angry.

Just thinking about Su Quanchuan, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), still wanting to drag him down, made him very displeased.

Su Quanchuan, that old fox, was definitely hiding something from him.

Otherwise, how could this old fox make such a low-level mistake?

“No, when the Mystic Envoy holds us accountable, I will firmly blame that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) and absolutely not share any responsibility with him!”

And Zhang Qi, who was fuming in his room, paid no attention to the rapid passage of time.

Outside the room, the sun hanging in the sky gradually disappeared, replaced by the bright moon.

“Is it dark?”

It wasn't until the room was plunged into darkness that Zhang Qi reacted, quickly getting up and walking out the door.

Zhang Qi gently opened the door with both hands while loudly speaking towards the outside.

“Someone!”

“Light the lamps!”

Outside the door, two red lanterns were already hanging, and beneath the lanterns, which emitted bright light, stood two house servants.

Upon hearing Zhang Qi’s words, both of them quickly walked towards the room’s doorway.

“Yes, Master!”

Zhang Qi stood with his hands behind his back, presenting an extremely dignified expression before them.

As the two house servants passed by Zhang Qi, they looked somewhat timid.

After the two house servants entered the room, one of them took out a fire starter, just about to light the candle.

Under the weak light of the flickering flame, which seemed like it could extinguish at any moment.

A distorted, ugly, and terrifying green face slowly emerged, carrying a strange and evil aura.

This green face was covered with dense, visible purplish-blue veins, crisscrossing like a spiderweb.

A pair of entirely white and protruding pupils emitted an unsettling, despair-inducing, evil light.

And that blood-red mouth, lined with countless sharp fangs, occasionally exhaled wisps of strange green smoke.

The house servant holding the flame, seeing the distorted face so close, was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering and couldn’t utter a single word.

“Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and light the candle, don’t make Master wait.”

The other house servant happened not to be looking forward.

However, he felt a bit strange when he noticed the candle hadn't been lit yet.

After he turned his head to look at where the candle was placed, the next second, his eyes widened, staring in disbelief at that eerie face.

“Ghost!”

This house servant, however, did not remain silent; he screamed out frantically.

This terrified, deafening sound startled Zhang Qi, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

The dignified posture Zhang Qi had just adopted instantly vanished, and he quickly turned to look into the room.

What he saw was a scene Zhang Qi would never forget.

Under the illumination of the flickering flame, there was a mysterious figure in the air ahead, especially that terrifying face glowing with an eerie green light.

After Zhang Qi saw its face, a thought instantly flashed in his mind.

“This… is… that dirty thing!”

“Master, help!”

The two house servants, right before Zhang Qi’s eyes, turned into dried-up corpses, then fell straight to the ground.

Still asking for help!

Who will save me!

Zhang Qi’s eyes were wide, his entire body tensed, and his legs trembled, as if wanting to move but unable to.

A chilling coldness assailed him from the room, making Zhang Qi’s entire body’s blood feel as if it were about to freeze.

“Help… … ….”

I cannot die!

I don’t want to die yet!

Su Quanchuan, that damned Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow), I, Zhang Qi, am killed by you.

Even as a ghost, I will not let you off.

In Zhang Qi’s pupils, the extremely terrifying green face was reflected, slowly approaching him.

At this moment, in just a few breaths, Zhang Qi felt as if he had lived an entire lifetime, recalling every past event in a flash.

Especially Su Quanchuan, that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow)!

The next moment, a festering, black-green, eerie arm, with long fingernails that reflected a strange luster.

In an instant, those sharp fingernails had already pierced into Zhang Qi’s body, impaling Zhang Qi’s abdomen.
