Chapter 1572 - 1467: Tragedy

At this moment, the four of them vaguely understood.

Their sense of security still lay with Qin Hao in the yard.

Now that Qin Hao was gone, they started to enter fear mode again.

"What the heck is going on!"

Luo Yong lamented miserably, "Now, what do we do? Really stay in place?"

No one answered, but everyone had the answer in their hearts.

In such a terrifying situation, staying put would drive one insane!

"Follow Chu Xi and take a look!"

Lei Xiuzhu decisively made the order, fearing that Chu Xi had already gone far, quickly dashed out the door.

The others saw this and dared not stay in place, all quickly followed.

In the night, a figure was moving farther and farther away.

Lei Xiuzhu was filled with panic and shouted to the figure, "Chu Xi! Wait for me!"

The figure stopped, at that moment Lei Xiuzhu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... a ghost?

Fortunately, Qin Hao’s lazy voice came over, "If you’re coming, hurry up, also, you need to call me uncle! Just this once!"

At this moment, Lei Xiuzhu’s heart started to beat again, she was almost moved to tears.

For the first time, she felt that hearing Qin Hao’s unpleasant voice was such a blissful thing.

"Uncle..." she shamelessly called out, quickly catching up with Qin Hao.

Soon, the other three caught up.

While the three were still catching their breath, Lei Xiuzhu shouted, "Why haven’t you greeted him!"

Huang Cuicui and Luo Yong exchanged glances, deep frustration in each other’s eyes.

But, under intimidation, they could only obediently compromise.

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa."

After they shouted, Qin Hao smiled contentedly, "Good kids, becoming more and more proactive, very good, keep it up."

The two were full of black lines, wishing they could strangle Qin Hao on the spot.

"Let’s go, let’s check out what’s happening."

Satisfied, Qin Hao patted his belly, walking towards the location of the main hall.

Actually, the layout of the City Lord’s Mansion is quite unreasonable.

The suite is located above the woodshed, far from the main hall and master bedroom.

So, when the five arrived near the main hall, it took quite a bit of time.

"This City Lord’s Mansion is really big!" Luo Yong grumbled with some displeasure, "That wailing stopped along the way, what’s going on?"

"Hehe, maybe we scared the ghost away!" Huang Cuicui’s courage grew as nothing happened along the way.

Ma Ji frowned, "Something’s not right."

"What’s not right?" Everyone was puzzled.

Ma Ji scanned the surroundings, saying with a grim face, "Have you noticed a problem? That ghostly howl had been going on for so long, could the others in the yard not hear it?"

"Yeah? This seems strange!" Huang Cuicui also mused, "The ghostly sound seemed to be around here, the servants might not hear it, but City Lord He Xi so close, didn’t hear it?"

Once this was said, everyone’s heads were filled with clouds of doubt.

Lei Xiuzhu said with a pale face, "Moreover, we haven’t encountered a single person along the way, it’s quite odd..."

This statement garnered agreement from a few people.

Such a large mansion, it’s impossible not to have trained servants.

And currently, it’s the sensitive period of the Refining Dragon Child massacre, under normal circumstances, there should be guards everywhere, patrolling day and night.

But now, haven’t met a single person?

It’s simply bizarre!

"Something’s very wrong!"

At this moment, Ma Ji’s face was extremely grim, "With such a loud noise, the servants couldn’t possibly not hear it. They didn’t come out, could it be they all..."

Before finishing the sentence, a strong stench of blood wafted in.

Everyone found it utterly unbearable.

Huang Cuicui pinched her nose, saying, "What’s that smell! It’s unbearable! I want to vomit!"

Lei Xiuzhu’s face was also ghastly pale, pointing to a nearby room, "Seems like it’s coming from over there!"

"Over there?" Everyone looked over, finding out it was the location of the lounge.

This afternoon, they were in the lounge enjoying the Dancing Girls’ performance, so there’s no way they would mistake it.

"Let’s go take a look!" Qin Hao, who had been silent for a long time, said, walking over first.

The four followed closely, quickly arriving outside the door.

At this moment, the stench of blood was even stronger, each person feeling a nauseous urge.

"Open!" Qin Hao kicked the door open and stormed in first.

Lei Xiuzhu followed closely, and upon entering, was stunned there, then her face slowly turned red as she bent over and vomited violently.

Huang Cuicui and others came after, and after seeing the situation in the room, their faces turned deathly pale, all bending over to vomit.

Only Qin Hao remained calm, looking at the situation in the room with a cold expression.

At this moment, the empty room was like a training ground.

Corpses, corpses everywhere! Bloody corpses!

Some of those corpses were lying on tables, some kneeling on the ground, others sitting in chairs.

They all bore blood on them, cause of death unknown for now, but judging from their clothing, all were servants of the mansion.

Among them were some naked women, surprisingly the beautiful Dancing Girls!

Sadly, these once stunning women before death are merely red skeletons after death.

Their bodies piled together, blood mingling with cold flesh, creating a shocking impact.

"Ugh ugh ugh!"

In the hall, the vomiting sounds of Lei Xiuzhu and Huang Cuicui could be heard.

They were all nauseated by the bloody scene, almost vomiting up their breakfast.

Eventually, they finally had nothing left to vomit.

They struggled to rise, not daring to face this bloody hell, all gazing outside the door.

Lei Xiuzhu’s voice trembled as she said, "Who on earth would do this, so cruel..."

This daughter of the Huashan Sect, admirable and revered in the eyes of many, showed rare signs of fear at this moment.

Huang Cuicui and others were completely scared stiff.

They came with high hopes, confident they could complete their mission.

But the reality was harsh.

Before even confronting the Refining Dragon Child, they were already scared out of their wits.

More exasperatingly, they didn’t even know what had happened.

Qin Hao was not surprised by their reaction.

He had expected this scene.

The competition within the Huashan Sect was fierce, but it wasn’t like there was no way of living.

On the contrary, as long as one didn’t aim too high, life was quite comfortable.

The four behind him all lived in luxury, basically had never witnessed the darkness and cruelty of the world.

Even Lei Xiuzhu, who claimed to have roamed the world.

But in reality, all she had seen and heard were mundane customs and culture.

The real bloodiness and darkness had long been intentionally isolated by Sect Leader Lei.

Therefore, this girl, faced with the bloody scene before her, was utterly scared out of her wits.

Qin Hao, however, was different, he used to be the Blood-handed Butcher, the Night Emperor renowned in Europe.

For him, killing was as natural as drinking; a life without blood and darkness was odd.

So, seeing the horrific scene before him, he didn’t even blink, only sighed with a regretful voice, "Such a pity for these beautiful girls..."
