474: Arrogance and ignorance lead to trouble

Just as the four had left, three more people arrived at this place, their strength surpassing even that of the four great famous constables.

The four great secret agents of Dragon Guard Manor, no, it should be the three great secret agents: the Heaven-ranked secret agent Duan Tianya, the Earth-ranked secret agent Guihai Yidao, and the Yellow-ranked secret agent Cheng Shifei.

As for the former secret agent Shangguan Haitang, she is now Duan Zhengchun's person, residing at Prince Kaoshan's Residence. It's impossible for her to appear here.

Upon seeing the hall full of fragmented pieces, Duan Tianya immediately covered his mouth, nearly vomiting.

Cheng Shifei directly spewed, while Guihai Yidao's expression remained unchanged, yet the shift in his eyes revealed the significant turmoil in his heart at this moment.

He had never before experienced such a bloody scene before his eyes.

"Ugh..."

Cheng Shifei was still vomiting violently to the side; experiencing such a scene for the first time, how could he possibly control himself.

"Damn, who has such Ruthless methods? Killing them is one thing, but actually chopping people into pieces." Cheng Shifei vomited until he was gasping for breath, even bile coming up.

"Someone has already been here. It seems the people from Six Doors were a step ahead of us." Duan Tianya observed the surroundings and drew a conclusion.

They had arrived a step too late; the people from Six Doors had already come before them.

"So they came, so what? We're just here to take a look. As for how to handle it, we still need to request instructions from the Divine Marquis." Cheng Shifei curled his lip and said dismissively.

"What kind of method caused this? It's better to take it back for the Coroner to examine. With my experience, I actually can't tell what weapon was used." Duan Tianya frowned.

"Judging from the wounds on these corpses, these people likely died at the hands of a peerless Sword Dao Master."

"His strength is not below the Heavenly Human Realm." Guihai Yidao spoke coldly.

"Huh? Yidao, do you know what happened?" Duan Tianya looked at Guihai Yidao in surprise.

"No, I don't." Guihai Yidao shook his head directly.

"No way, Yidao, if you don't know, why say anything?"

"Making it sound like you really know something." Cheng Shifei looked at Guihai Yidao with a depressed expression.

Guihai Yidao glanced sideways coldly at Cheng Shifei. He had always looked down on Cheng Shifei; this guy was just a street ruffian.

Who knows how he suddenly obtained such powerful strength and was even taken under the Divine Marquis's wing, becoming one of the four great secret agents.

Seeing Guihai Yidao's expression, Cheng Shifei felt indignant in his heart.

"What? Am I wrong?" Cheng Shifei said with a look of defiance, provocatively staring at Guihai Yidao.

"Idiot..."

Guihai Yidao coldly retorted.

"Damn it, who are you calling an idiot? Have the guts to say it again?" Cheng Shifei instantly couldn't take it; he hated it most when others called him that.

Even when he was a hoodlum before, he wouldn't stand for it, let alone now that he possessed such strength.

"Whoever admits it, that's who." Guihai Yidao said coldly.

"Damn it, want to fight, huh? I, your grandpa, have never been afraid of anyone." Cheng Shifei said, rolling up his sleeves to start a fight.

"Enough! We're here to investigate a case, not for you to fight here." Duan Tianya said coldly.

With Duan Tianya speaking up, Cheng Shifei waved his fist but didn't make a move.

However, he waved his fist at Guihai Yidao as if to show off.

Guihai Yidao glanced sideways and rolled his eyes.

His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.

This look made Cheng Shifei's blood boil; if Duan Tianya weren't there, he really wanted to fight Guihai Yidao.

"Alright, this matter is no longer something we can handle. Let's leave first. We still need to inform our adoptive father about this. How to proceed specifically depends on his decision." Duan Tianya said with a grave expression.

The Prince Ning rebellion just happened here, and before it's completely settled, how could so many Martial Forest people be killed again?

If this isn't clarified, the impact on the Great Ming Jianghu would be too great.

It might even affect the imperial court, who knows.

"In this situation, there aren't any concrete clues either."

"Many among them were Masters, with several at the Grandmaster level."

"Yet, they still had no power to fight back, showing how strong the assailant's strength was and how bizarre his methods."

"Logically, even if a Heavenly Human Realm Master came, he couldn't kill so many Martial Artists at once, and all with the same manner of death."

"As for the Earth Immortal Realm, it's almost impossible. Those kinds of people, which one isn't an Old Ancestor-level existence? They wouldn't come here for no reason, nor would they kill so many Martial Artists at once."

"Moreover, these are all well-established, long-famous powerhouses. Who in the Martial Forest wouldn't avoid them?"

"Therefore, this matter is probably not as simple as we think." Guihai Yidao analyzed coldly.

Hearing Guihai Yidao's analysis, Duan Tianya suddenly seemed to think of something.

Speaking of Earth Immortals, normally there might not be any, but now it's different.

It's said that King Kaoshan from the Kingdom of Dali came earlier to watch the duel between West Gate Blowing Snow and Night Solitary City and hasn't left yet, staying at the Hua Family Manor.

Although he is famous, not many people truly know him.

Could it be that these Martial Artists offended this lord, leading to their deaths?

Given this prince's methods, it's really possible he could do it.

Once he considered that this matter might be related to Duan Zhengchun, Duan Tianya knew it was not simple. He could only report to his adoptive father as quickly as possible to see how to handle this matter.

"Let's go, back immediately." Duan Tianya said, turning and leaving.

"Hey, Tianya, what's the rush? We just got out and now we're going back?"

"This matter hasn't even got a clue yet. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Cheng Shifei shouted anxiously.

Duan Tianya simply ignored him, leaving this place at the fastest speed.

Guihai Yidao understood Duan Tianya well and knew clearly that Duan Tianya must have thought of something.

Without saying anything more, he directly used his Movement Technique and followed.

Cheng Shifei was utterly depressed. Although he had obtained all of Gu Santong's Internal Energy and possessed the Cultivation Techniques of the Eight Great Sects, he still couldn't use them flexibly.

Sometimes, he still needed to refer to the Secret Manuals.

His Movement Technique was even worse; he could only circulate his Internal Energy at full force to keep up.

"Hey, slow down, wait for me!" Cheng Shifei couldn't help but shout.

However, Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao had no intention of stopping at all.

Duan Tianya didn't stop because the matter was of great importance and allowed no delay. Guihai Yidao simply looked down on Cheng Shifei.

Thus, he also had no plan to wait for Cheng Shifei.

Since you've become one of the four great secret agents of Dragon Guard Manor, you must take responsibility for your own actions.

If you don't practice your skills, who will care about you at critical moments?

Ruthless, Cold Blood, Iron Hand, and Life Chaser returned to Six Doors as quickly as possible and found Zhuge Xiaohua.

"Divine Constable, we've encountered a thorny problem this time." Ruthless said with a grave expression, looking at Zhuge Xiaohua.

"Huh? What's the situation?" Zhuge Xiaohua looked at Ruthless.

Ruthless recounted what happened outside the city, then had Cold Blood take out the dismembered corpses they brought back. Because there were too many, they could only bring back two pieces, just to let Zhuge Xiaohua see what was up with these wounds.

Zhuge Xiaohua looked at the two pieces of dismembered corpses, his brow slightly furrowed. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell these were corpses, but the wounds on these corpses were too smooth.
