"Is anyone coming to visit today?"

Standing in the middle of the yard, Bayer looked at the black and red stains left on the ground, but his face was surprisingly calm.

Eddie quickly bowed and responded:

"Back...back to your lord, as far as I know, there are no outsiders visiting today..."

"No one? Where did these blood stains come from?"

Bayer stared at Eddie beside him with his sharp eyes like a falcon, and asked: "Where are the guards in charge of security? Call them all over here!"

"Yes Yes..."

Eddie's face turned pale, he bowed and slowly exited the yard, running into the distance as if he had been granted amnesty.

After a long time, a panicked Eddie ran back to the yard alone.

But when he stepped into the courtyard, he hesitated for a moment.

Bayer ordered him to look for the guards, but after searching around, he couldn't find even a single figure in the house.

Such a change occurred in the city lord's palace, and he, the captain of the city defense army, would inevitably bear the brunt and be the first to be punished by Bayer.

If this happened in the past, even the heaviest punishment from Bayer would only be a scolding and some physical pain at most.

After all, his soul power was there, and Bayer couldn't arbitrarily impose drastic punishments.

But the situation today is very different.

Not to mention that Bayer killed people profusely, he didn't even know the means by which Bayer killed people.

The unknown terror frightened him even more than the apparent disparity in soul power.

Because he doesn't know at all whether he can resist Bayer if he kills him.

Just as Eddie moved step by step and walked slowly into the yard, a slightly dazzling golden light reflected in the grass in the yard against the moonlight.

"That is..."

Eddie looked puzzled, but in order to divert Bayer's attention, he could only change the topic to that weird thing.

He ran two steps quickly, pushed through the dense grass, grabbed the thing that reflected the golden light in his hand, and said in surprise:

"Why is this thing here?"

He did not dare to delay any longer and quickly handed the things in his hands to Bayer respectfully:

"Look, sir, I just found this in the grass over there. Maybe this thing is related to the anomaly tonight."

"Ok?"

Eddie successfully drew Bayer's gaze to the exquisitely crafted hairpin made of gold and jade.

He picked up the hairpin pole and carefully looked at the green luan bird carved from exquisite jade:

"Where was this thing found?"

Eddie, who did not dare to raise his head due to Bayer's power, could only blindly point to the approximate location in the grass behind him:

"Sir, just...in that patch of grass."

Bayer glanced at the grass not far away, and then looked at the stain at his feet that was already red and black.

He rolled his eyes, held the hairpin in his hand, and walked towards the grass with his hands behind his back:

"Have you seen this thing before? Do you know where it comes from?"

Eddie blinked his eyes twice and said hesitantly:

"This...according to the villain's observation, this hairpin should be a token of a certain force. If the villain guesses correctly, it is most likely from the Qingluan Sect."

"Qingluan Sect..."

Bayer nodded in agreement, then squatted down and looked at the slightly messy grass in front of him.

Although it was already late at night, I could still see clearly a few footprints left in the grass with the faint moonlight.

He stretched out his hand to remove the grass in front of him, looked at a deep hole in the ground and three pairs of clear footprints next to it, and ordered:

"Come over and have a look and recall if anyone has the corresponding characteristics."

"Yes Yes..."

Eddie hurriedly ran to Bayer and squatted down, looked at the three pairs of footprints, and responded: "Sir, I really can't tell anything based on these, but I should be able to roughly guess who left these footprints. A woman and a man, and as for the third pair of footprints, they don’t look like they were left by humans, could they be spirit beasts?”

The reason why Eddie's guess is like this is actually because Gan Jia deliberately left a few clues.

The footprints of the woman and the man were naturally those of Neli and Yuan Ting, while the other pair of footprints were left by Chang Ye, who for some unknown reason turned his whole body into dead wood and vines.

Originally, Gan Jia wanted to leave all the footprints of the six members of the Divine Lord Alliance somewhere in the yard, intentionally or unintentionally.

But when I thought that too many clues would make things look unusual, I gave up that idea.

It is better to hide a little and reveal a little, so as to better reflect the value of this 'clue' and attract the attention of Bayer or the followers of the Soul Resurrection Cult.

Moreover, Chang Ye's footprints on dead wood and vines can be regarded as giving Gan Jia a greater space to perform.

After all, with the blessing of the Qingluan Chai, a token of the Qingluan Sect carried by Nei Li, there was no need to worry about not being able to find the Deadwood Vine martial spirit of the Deadwood Sect.

Bayer stretched out his palm and covered the three pairs of footprints one by one.

After a moment, Bayer's face instantly turned gloomy through the comparison between his palms and footprints.

He placed the Qingluan Chai in his other hand in front of his eyes and shouted in a deep voice:

"You bastard! A few medium-sized sects dare to act recklessly in my city lord's mansion. How audacious!"

Eddie, who was always confused, slowly raised his head, looked into Bayer's angry eyes, and asked softly:

"Sir...sir, who are you talking about? Qingluan Sect?"

Bayer snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the room where Wush lived:

"Who else could it be if they weren't them?! When I take care of the affairs in the palace, none of them can escape! If they dare to openly break into my city lord's palace, where is the majesty of the empire!"

"But..."

Eddie swallowed secretly and followed tremblingly: "Sir, those people from the Soul Capture Cult, and Master Wush..."

Unexpectedly, Bayer's footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned his head slightly and looked at Eddie with eyes full of cold murderous intent:

"Yes, there are also Lord Wushi and others. Their disappearance for no reason must be the fault of those sects. We cannot let those sects go!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door in front of him.

In an instant, an icy air flow swept towards Bayer and Eddie's bodies.

The instant alternation of hot and cold made Eddie's body shiver unconsciously.

But when Bayer faced this icy airflow, a hint of surprise flashed subconsciously on his face, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

He touched the thin layer of frost on the tables and chairs in the house, his eyes rolling around.

Eddie rubbed his arms, looked at the furnishings in the room, and said in surprise:

"What's going on in this room? Why is it so cold..."

Bayer narrowed his eyes slightly, looking vaguely at the slight bulge on his chest.

He rubbed the Qingluan Chai in his hand and ordered:

"Pass my order to make it known to the public that Qingluan Sect and Kumu Sect broke into our city lord's palace, and put these two sects on wanted list! In addition, you can send another team of people to Xingluo City to report what happened here. Tell the Empire and the Soul-Taking Cult exactly what happened!"

As he said that, he threw the Qingluan Chai in Eddie's hand.
