Chapter 27 The Blood Puppet Reappears
"Ah..."
The sudden scream immediately made Lu Fan and others who had just entered the county governor's mansion change their faces.
Lu Fan subconsciously wanted to spread his body and run to the back house.
Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that there were two outsiders, Lu Wushuang and Wu Wei, around him, and immediately looked at Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng, who had the highest cultivation.
"Jingsi, Gongran, go and see what's going on!"
"Yes!"
Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng responded and stepped into the air and flew towards the back house of the county governor's mansion.
Lu Fan was not idle either, and said to Xiahou Wei and Qin Qiong: "Shubao, Jiquan, you stay here and don't allow anyone to enter or leave. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"
Qin Qiong wanted to follow Lu Fan to protect him, but after seeing Lu Fan's unquestionable firm eyes, he immediately clasped his fists and said:
"I obey your orders!"
After quickly making arrangements, Lu Fan took Jiang Shang and Li Si straight to the back house, and Lu Wushuang followed closely with Wu Wei.
The area of the county governor's mansion is not small. The area in front of the front hall alone is half the size of a football field.
In addition to the area between the front hall and the gate of the mansion, there are also the middle courtyard and the back house.
The front hall is used for entertaining guests and discussing matters, and the middle courtyard is where the guards and maids live.
The back house is the living area of the county governor and his family.
It took seven or eight minutes to get from the front hall to the back house, and this was at a very fast pace.
As soon as he stepped into the back house area, Lu Fan saw blood and broken limbs everywhere on the open ground.
There were also more than a dozen mutilated bodies of temporary guards.
These bodies were either missing arms or legs, and there was a bloody hole in their hearts, obviously their hearts were dug out.
Looking at such a tragic scene, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel sick and wanted to vomit.
It was too tragic.
Who or what kind of existence was so cruel and vicious that he openly committed crimes in the back house of the county governor's mansion.
Lu Fan suppressed his nausea and anger, and continued to walk forward with a gloomy face.
The back house is also divided into two parts, front and back, divided by a corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, with a wooden arch in the middle.
After passing through the arch and coming to the second courtyard of the back house, Lu Fan and others all subconsciously clenched their fists.
There were more broken limbs and corpses in the second courtyard, more than 30 in total.
There were even three corpses of Xuanwu guards, all of which had their hearts hollowed out.
Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng, who had arrived first, had disappeared.
Only five Xuanwu guards including Zhang Qi, who had a pale face, and more than 20 temporary guards were left here.
They were all covered in blood, and several temporary guards had only half of their arms left.
Looking at this scene.
Lu Fan no longer felt fear and nausea, but only a strong anger and murderous intent.
At this moment, he was completely murderous.
No matter who the murderer was, he would definitely cut him into pieces and pull out his tendons and bones.
He suppressed the murderous intent and anger in his heart and went straight to Zhang Qi and others who were pale and slightly dazed.
Lu Fan's footsteps made Zhang Qi and others react from their daze and immediately kneeled on one knee.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I am incompetent!"
Zhang Qi's voice was hoarse, and his tone was filled with unconcealed fear and anger.
"Get up."
After asking them to stand up, Lu Fan said in a deep voice: "What happened? Tell me in detail, don't hide anything."
"Yes!"
Zhang Qi calmed down and told the story quickly, and Jiang Shang, Li Si and others also listened patiently.
It turned out that after Lu Fan led everyone away.
Wang Hun, Fei Yi, Xiang Chong and Duan Yu took eight Xuanwu guards and a hundred temporary guards to carefully check every corner of the county governor's mansion.
There were no problems in the two areas of the front hall and the middle courtyard.
However, when checking the first courtyard of the back house, several temporary guards found a very hidden entrance to the cave.
After opening the entrance, a terrifying monster ran out.
The terrifying monster was blood red, like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast.
After rushing out of the cave, the monster went on a killing spree and slaughtered more than 20 temporary guards in an instant.
And the monster liked to eat hearts, and the hearts of those corpses were dug out and eaten by the monster.
Fortunately, he asked Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng to come to help in time.
Otherwise, Zhang Qi and the other five people and the more than 20 temporary guards would have been killed by the monster.
Li Cunxiao, Luo Cheng and Wang Hun all went to chase the fleeing monster.
After Zhang Qi finished speaking, Jiang Shang, Li Si and Lu Wushuang were full of confusion, not knowing what the monster was.
But Lu Fan guessed the identity of the monster.
Blood puppet!
He saw the ferocious and terrifying blood puppet with his own eyes in the City Lord's Mansion of Pingchuan City.
Even Qin Qiong, who was at the first level of the Soul Condensation Realm, could not kill it and could only watch it escape.
I thought this kind of evil existence was very rare, but I didn't expect to encounter it here again.
Moreover, this blood puppet was obviously more powerful, more brutal and terrifying, and the servant behind it was probably even more complicated.
"Huh..."
Lu Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Looking at the pale-faced twenty or so temporary guards, he said:
"You should go down and rest and recuperate first."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
These twenty or so temporary guards were all scared just now, and they were just barely holding on at this moment.
So after Lu Fan spoke, they did not hesitate and turned around and left here.
As for whether they went down to rest or fled directly from the county governor's mansion, Lu Fan did not care much.
Anyway, it was just a temporary fill-in.
After the twenty or so temporary guards left, Lu Fan looked at Zhang Qi and the other five people with blood on their bodies.
"Are you okay? Do you want to go down to rest?"
Zhang Qi shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. We are fine, but it's a pity for the three brothers. They..."
"Don't worry, I won't treat their families badly."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Lu Fan glanced at the many corpses on the ground, retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Take me to the cave to have a look!"
"Your Highness, please follow me!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Qi, Lu Fan and the other five came to the rockery in the garden on the left side of the first courtyard of the back house.
There was a broken cave here, about two meters in diameter.
The gray-white mist visible to the naked eye drifted out of the cave, making people feel cold all over.
Without waiting for Lu Fan to speak, Jiang Shang, who was following him, frowned and said in a deep voice:
"My Lord, this is the core of the Jueyin Formation. It seems that the so-called monster is being nurtured in the Yin Meridian below."
This sentence made Lu Fan's expression even gloomier.
Such a ferocious and terrifying blood puppet was kept in the County Magistrate's Mansion, and not a single word of it leaked out.
It's obvious that there is something wrong here.
However, the two county magistrates who took office before him died suddenly one after another, and it should have nothing to do with them.
In this case, this County Magistrate's Mansion must have been rotten for a long time!
Thinking of this, Lu Fan's murderous intent and anger became stronger, and his fists clenched tightly together...
