Dongfang Qi hadn't closed his eyes all night and only returned to the Capital Governor's office at noon, planning to catch up on some sleep. Little did he know, just as he was about to close his eyes, he was summoned by a government officer.
The Old Grand Preceptor held a position of immense power, and several corpses had been thrown into his mansion. No matter what, Dongfang Qi had to investigate this thoroughly.
But upon arrival, he found out that the corpses were all guards from the Grandmaster Mansion, including the Guard Captain. They died in a terrifying manner, with eyes gouged out, tongues cut off, and limbs severed.
"How is the Old Grand Preceptor?"
Dugu Wu put down his cup.
"The Old Grand Preceptor's complexion was already terrible. He summoned Nalan Yan'er, and I don't know what was said, but the Old Grand Preceptor spat out several mouthfuls of blood and then passed away."
