Chapter 958.
What appeared in front of Wang Dust was a huge grotto.
This underground grotto was not exquisite, the walls on all sides, including the dome, were as if they had been plowed out by a dog, and the surface was covered with a deep claw mark, as if it had been rushed out in a crude manner.
There was a long bright lamp hanging on the wall, and the dim light shone on the blood pool located in the center of the grotto!
This blood pool was three feet square, and there was half a pool of dark red plasma inside.
In the air, there was a thick smell of blood.
What was even more frightening was that there were dozens of corpses hanging above the blood pool!
These corpses were tied to the ropes, their limbs and bodies were almost strangled into cicada chrysalises, with their heads down and feet up, and their brains were all broken open with a bloody hole.
Each corpse was grim-faced, with incomparable despair and pain in their bulging eyes.
And crimson blood overflowed from the wounds in their heads, falling drop by drop into the pool of blood below.
Such an evil scene would give anyone nightmares just by looking at it!
“Da, my lord.”
A trembling voice came from behind Wang Chen.
The person who came was none other than Duan Yongfeng.
This Blood Clothes Guard Chief Flag had just come down, with the intention of following Wang Dust to show some performance, and anyway, with the powerful Wang Dust at the forefront, he felt that it was still safe.
He never thought that he would come down here and see such a horrible scene!
Duan Yongfeng is not a timid and cowardly person, but this kind of scene is still beyond his bottom line.
Without turning around, Wang Dust said indifferently, “Those missing people, they should all be here.”
He was ordered to come to Guangping to investigate the disappearance case, and now it could be considered closed.
“It’s a pity that a few ran away.”
Wang Dust’s gaze looked in the direction of the right side, where there was still a cave entrance, dark and unable to see inside.
But it didn’t need to probe to know that it was bound to be the exit of another secret passage.
As the saying goes, a sly rabbit has three caves, the demons that are entrenched here have created multiple secret passages to escape, it is a normal thing.
The three demons that Wang Duan encountered just now were obviously just castaways.
The real BOSS had already escaped!
Although Wang Chen was a bit regretful, he didn’t have any thoughts of chasing after it.
He turned to Duan Yongfeng and said, “Immediately send a message to the Prefecture City to report the situation here.”
Duan Yongfeng bent his head and bowed down, “Yes!”
Wang Chen nodded, then left this devilish cave filled with blood and evil aura.
What happened next was undoubtedly something that the common people of Guangping City could talk about seeing for the rest of their lives.
The matter of the famous Peony House being detected as a demon quickly spread throughout the entire county as if it had grown wings.
This is a world where martial arts is the norm, and people who practice martial arts are much bolder, even if they only know how to throw a couple of punches or kicks, they are still more courageous than normal people.
Therefore, the people who heard the news and came to see the fun could be described as hordes of people!
Then countless ordinary people saw a scene that they would never forget.
One after another headless snake body was carried out by the blood-clothed guards from the Peony Building, and one of the black pythons looked particularly shocking, emitting an aura that made people inexplicably terrified.
As a matter of fact, this was what Wang Chen had specially asked the Blood Clothes Guards to do, in order to realize the crimes of Peony House, and to prevent its behind-the-scenes forces from working.
Not only that, those treasures hidden in the secret room under the wigwam were also lifted out one by one.
Together, they were sent to the guardhouse for storage.
These are all evidence!
Originally, this kind of plagiarism food, the participation of the county court and the guards will have to share a piece of meat to eat.
After all, they also contributed.
However, both the county magistrate and the military generals were silent, pretending that this was not the case.
After such a big incident in Guangping County, it would be impossible for them to say that they weren’t responsible for it.
If they were to compete with the Blood Clothes Guards, who were organizing this matter, for the spoils of war, it would simply be self-defeating!
However, Wang Chen still had Duan Yongfeng send a box of gold and silver to the guards.
Another heavy reward was given to the constable who discovered the secret passage!
At Duan Yongfeng’s suggestion, this constable was directly recruited into the Blood Clothes Guards.
The reaction from the capital city accelerated, on the same night that he received the news, Zhenfu Envoy Yao Peng brought his men to Guangping City and took over the case from Wang Chen.
It is not that Yao Peng wants to grab the credit, but the matter is too big, Wang Duan’s weight is not enough to take charge of this matter.
Anyway, Wang Dust’s credit is certainly not escaping!
Under normal circumstances, as the head of the government guards, Yao Peng couldn’t lightly leave the premises to avoid attracting untoward disaster.
But this case was so serious that he had to come!
The first thing Yao Peng did when he rushed to Guangping County City was to come to the Peony House’s underground devil’s cave to examine the corpses hanging on the pool of blood in the company of Wang Duan to determine their identities.
“Well done!”
This Lord Zhenfu Envoy said to Wang Dust with a grave expression, “This time, it’s fortunate that you discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!”
The blood pool in the Devil’s Cave was not built for fun, it had a name called the “Demon Ascension Pool”, simply put, it was used by demons to raise their level of strength.
The raw material of the ascension pool is the blood of the martial artist, but not all martial artists are applicable, it is said that there are special instructions, involving the bloodline and the root and bone and so on the physique.
And the ascension pool is also a taboo name, people who know the inside information can never easily leak out.
Yao Peng was fortunate that this Demon Ascension Pool had not yet been fully formed.
That meant it hadn’t been utilized by the demon that built it.
“Right.”
Yao Peng handed Wang Dust another piece of official paper, “This is the reward oracle issued by the Du Wei Yamen, congratulations, Thousand Household Wang!”
Wang Dust was promoted again!
Relying on the great merit of killing Soul Breaker Gun Huang Jue, Wang Duan was once again promoted to Blood Clothes Guard Thousand Household.
The reward was one thousand taels!
This promotion makes Wang Chuan the youngest Thousand-Household since the establishment of the Blood Clothes Guards.
It could be said to be unprecedented!
Yao Peng looked at Wang Duan, and his heart was filled with emotion.
A sixteen year old Thousand Household, placed in the Imperial Capital of Daye, was also an explosive existence!
The problem was that Wang Chen had now made a new feat, and it was only higher than the feat of killing Soul Breaker Gun Huang Jue.
What kind of reward would he receive then?
Yao Peng estimated that after this matter was reported to the government, it would be a huge headache for the government.
Their rewards could not even compare to the speed at which Wang Chen had established his merit!
“Thank you!”
Wang Chen was also happy in his heart.
Because being promoted to Thousand Households meant that his fortune would rise again.
“Let’s go.”
Yao Peng patted Wang Dust’s shoulder and said, “I’m not qualified to control this matter, let’s wait for the higher-ups to send someone.”
When it came to the Demon Ascension Pool, even he, the Zhenfu Envoy, had far less weight.
The Blood Clothes Guards from the Capital Guard Yamen arrived in the evening of the following day.
And the ones who came were a team of elite men, including two fifth-ranked Martial Sectors!
Now Wang Dust was considered to have completely spilled the beans, and his task was only left to report the details of the case to the people coming from above.
