I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons
Chapter 200: Sinister Domain! Total Annihilation! Fan Wei’s Frantic Escape!
Fan Wei recounted the bizarre events, startling the government officials behind him.
"What, vanished!"
"Old Fan, are you sure this is true?"
"Who would be so bold to lay hands on our prefecture’s men?"
"Chief, is our visit to the Wu family manor related to them?"
Fan Wei gently raised his right hand, indicating for everyone to be silent.
"Alright, be quiet. Once we enter the Wu family manor, form groups of three. Look for anything suspicious."
"Remember, leave no corner unchecked!"
"The prefect has ordered us to find our four missing men and Wu Wei’s body within three days."
Fan Wei had no time to explain to them, as his steps quickened once again.
In front of the Wu family’s manor, two gaunt-looking servants hurried over upon seeing the official attire of Fan Wei’s group.
"Greetings, officers!"
The two Wu family servants displayed a fawning, humble demeanor, bowing and greeting Fan Wei’s group.
"Spare the idle talk. I am the chief constable of the prefecture, Fan Wei."
"You two, lead the way immediately. I need to search the entire Wu household.
Fan Wei ignored the sycophantic servants, gesturing to the officials behind him.
This time, Fan Wei brought elite members from the prefecture.
Among them were four chief constables at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, and the others were martial artists at the Refined Flesh Realm.
Each of the Bone Marrow Refining realm martial artists was paired with two government officials to search a designated area.
The two servants, shaken by the mention of the chief constable’s rank, dared not resist.
This notable figure was unexpectedly here to search the entire Wu household - was it related to the master’s death?
Yet, they dared not show an ounce of defiance.
"Yes, this way, officer!"
Upon entering the Wu family manor, the four chief constables each took two men to search separately.
Meanwhile, Fan Wei, accompanied by two others, headed directly toward the main hall.
In front of the main hall, two large white lanterns were hanging.
On the wall beneath the white lanterns were two couplets, serving as eulogies for Wu Wei.
Inside the main hall, several figures were standing.
In front of these people stood a coffin, with the Wu family’s patriarch Wu Wei’s memorial tablet before it.
At that moment, an older servant quickly ran into the main hall. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Breathless, the elder servant spoke to the few people ahead.
"Young Master, Second Master, Third Master, the chief constable of the prefecture has arrived!"
Upon learning of the chief constable’s arrival, the three men, setting aside their grief, turned to the elder servant.
The man in the center, the eldest of the Wu family, hurried forward, clutching the elder servant’s shoulders tightly.
"Mr. Wu, are you certain it’s the chief constable of the prefecture?"
"Didn’t the officials take our father’s body to the magistrate this morning?"
"Why are they here again?"
"And it’s the chief constable?"
"Does this mean the cause of Father’s death has been uncovered?"
Before Mr. Wu could respond, Fan Wei, with two others, arrived outside the main hall.
The three sons of Wu Wei, upon seeing the official uniforms of Fan Wei’s group, hurried out of the main hall.
The imposing presence of Fan Wei left the three sons of the Wu family awe-struck, with no room for doubt.
"Greetings, officers."
Fan Wei, noticing their mourning attire, deduced their identities.
"Are you three Wu Wei’s sons?"
"Indeed!"
Upon receiving confirmation, Fan Wei did not hesitate, motioning the two behind him to search the main hall.
Seeing this, Wu Wei’s sons were confused.
"Officer, what is this?"
"This morning, the four officials I sent to the Wu family and Wu Wei’s body vanished mysteriously at Shuimen Lane."
"Therefore, by the prefect’s order, we must search the entire Shuimen Lane, including the Wu household!"
After speaking, Fan Wei ignored the pale-faced and bewildered sons of Wu Wei and entered the main hall.
Surveying the surroundings, Fan Wei slowly approached the place where the memorial tablet and coffin stood.
"Strange?"
Since entering, Fan Wei felt a mysterious sensation.
However, his internal energy detected nothing amiss.
Suddenly, a chill was felt from the empty coffin beside him.
"This feeling isn’t good!"
Yin energy!
It’s the Yin energy of those ghostly things!
With decades of experience, Fan Wei hesitated not a moment.
His whole body’s energy surged violently, as he darted like an arrow toward the exit.
Once outside the main hall, Fan Wei fled desperately into the distance.
While escaping, Fan Wei noticed the coffin’s strange change.
Blood!
The entire surface of the coffin began gushing fresh blood.
"This!"
"Brother, look at that coffin!"
"Father!"
"It’s Father!"
"Run!"
"Father is seeking revenge!"
Within seconds of Fan Wei’s departure, everyone at the Wu household noticed the coffin’s changes.
Especially Wu Wei’s three sons, whose faces were filled with terror.
However, when they attempted to move, it felt as if their legs were frozen, immobile.
Inside the main hall, the blood flowing from the coffin began to spread.
Whenever the blood touched a living person, they seemed to be consumed, gradually decaying into skeletons on the floor.
This bizarre scene caused Wu Wei’s three sons to weep in horror, crying unclearly!
"Father, I was wrong, it was Brother’s idea. We’re not involved!"
"Yes, Father, it’s nothing to do with me and Third Brother. Brother killed you!"
"Father, spare us!"
However, their pleas for mercy went unanswered.
"Blame that wicked woman!"
"Father, that wicked woman betrayed you, yet you opposed the Celestial Sea Gang because of her."
"If I didn’t kill you, our Wu family would be destroyed!"
"I..."
Instantly, the whole Wu family was enveloped by a terrible Yin energy, everyone turning into bleached bones!
"Wicked woman?"
"That wretched Yurong!"
A twisted, terrifying face appeared above the Wu household, then vanished!
As for Fan Wei, since the emergence of Wu Wei, his energy surged uncontrollably.
When Wu Wei’s eerie domain approached, Fan Wei had inadvertently left his left leg inside the Wu domain.
Ignoring the pain, Fan Wei swiftly drew the blade from his waist, slicing into his left leg.
For a martial artist at the Blood Refining Realm, even with one leg, Fan Wei could still unleash terrifying speed.
Such ominous Yin energy!
It’s actually the legendary eerie domain!
Never thought my suspicions would be true.
Calamity-level ominous entity!
Run!
The wound on Fan Wei’s left leg was enveloped by his energy, preventing blood from spilling.
