More than an hour after the city was placed on high alert because of the assassins, Su Zhen, who had also been observing the search operation, received a report that shocked him.
He received news that several high-ranking officials of the city, including the commander of the City Guardians, along with some people close to him, such as elders of his family, had been assassinated.
Su Zhen immediately flew back to the manor with fury clear on his face. When he arrived, the sight that greeted him was the corpses of several elders of his family. They had been killed inside the City Lord's Manor with the same wounds as the other victims of the assassins.
Su Zhen was truly furious. He had not expected the assassins to target the elders of his family, who lived inside a manor protected by tight security, from detection formations and trapping formations to constantly patrolling guards.
