2230 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

Mo Lian held in his laughter and pulled her to the side to avoid the boisterous activity of the people from the Anyi Prefecture.

At this time, the Tower of Wondrous Treasures was filled with hustle and bustle. Hence, they naturally did not attract attention when they avoided people and were whispering while invisible.

"Head Steward Hu, we have also checked upstairs. It's, it's all empty!"

"Besides the first floor, the five floors above have all been emptied, Head Steward Hu!"

When Qiao Mu watched the crowd buzzing around like headless flies, she couldn't help but find it funny.

She looked up at Mo Lian, who was currently looking down at her with a smile. He whispered into her ear, "The old man will definitely go to inform Guan Zhaotang in person. We just have to wait."

As expected, after lingering around for a bit, he couldn't stand it anymore and hurried to the prefecture lord's residence to report the situation.

Just as Head Steward Hu arrived at the prefecture lord's residence, he had yet to talk to the guards when he heard a woman's shrill calls for help from within.

Madam Hua ran out from the bedchamber with disheveled hair and messy clothes. She shrieked, "Someone, someone come quickly, come quickly!"

Head Steward Hu and several guards came up at the same time and quickly stopped the screaming Madam Hua. "Madam, what's wrong?"

Madam Hua shouted in horror, "Quickly, quickly! The prefecture lord…"

*Bam!* The door to the bedchamber suddenly got kicked open from the inside.

A figure stumbled out from the open door. He clutched his head and roared.

"Prefecture? Prefecture Lord!!" Head Steward Hu quickly identified the bloodied person that stumbled out as their prefecture lord Guan Zhaotang.

At this moment, Guan Zhaotang was in a sorry state.

Not only was he covered in blood, his eyes also seemed to have been pierced by something sharp.

He shouted in a frenzy with disheveled hair hanging around his shoulders. He held on to the wall as he stumbled around. The guards backed away in fright, afraid to go up and support him.

"Ah!!" Guan Zhaotang clasped his hands together, and all the spiritual energy in his body surged out like a tsunami.

The raging spiritual energy knocked the guards flying. They got thrown to the floor and coughed up blood, falling unconscious.

Guan Zhaotang's eyes were filled with blood, and he could no longer see anything. He clutched his head and looked toward Head Steward Hu with a distorted expression.

Head Steward Hu's heart was about to jump out from fright.

Even though he knew that Guan Zhaotang wasn't able to see him at all right now, all his hairs were standing on end just getting stared at by those bloody eyes!

"Prefecture, Prefecture Lord, how are you, Prefecture Lord?" Head Steward Hu did not know what had happened. He withstood his tingling scalp and reached out tremblingly to support Guan Zhaotang.

"Ah!!" Guan Zhaotang roared and flung away Head Steward Hu's arm. He roared at the sky.

"I'm gonna kill you! Kill you!"

"Prefecture Lord, Prefecture Lord?" Head Steward Hu looked at where Guan Zhaotang was pointing.

After a moment.

"Quick, quick, quickly." Head Steward Hu urged a group of guards that had rushed over to search the prefecture lord's room.

Soon, the guards carried out a dead person from the room.

Head Steward Hu couldn't help but be shocked.

Wasn't this Qi Lianhai?

Head Steward Hu braced himself and asked, "Pre-Prefecture Lord, th-the Tower of Wondrous Treasures has been looted…"

"Ah!"
