After a long while, Qian Renxue put down the intelligence in her hands and fixed her golden eyes on Shi Yang below.
"The intelligence states that the first slaughter occurred seven days ago. Within a few days, another village was brutally massacred. Adding the village we arrived at, that means three villages have been brutally massacred so far."
"Yet after investigating for so long, you only concluded that the victims' method of death was almost identical, suggesting it was the work of the same person or the same group of people?"
Qian Renxue looked at the Main Hall Master, Shi Yang, her voice devoid of any emotion.
"Y-yes."
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, although Shi Yang really did not want to admit it, he had no choice as it was the truth, so he nodded slightly.
"If you couldn't investigate any useful information, why didn't you report it to the Spirit Hall? If the Spirit Hall couldn't handle it, you should have reported it to the Supreme Pontiff Palace in Spirit City."
Ye Xi looked at the Main Hall Master and the deacons, speaking quietly.
"We were prepared to report it to the Spirit Hall and have them send someone down to investigate, but just as we were about to report it, the two Elders arrived with you."
Shi Yang revealed a smile, but that smile, no matter how one looked at it, had a bitter feeling.
"Alright, we understand."
"You there, send someone to clean up the village thirty miles outside of Fengning City, and while you're at it, bring back the bodies of the three deacons who fell there and bury them properly."
"We will stay in Fengning City for a period of time; we will handle this matter."
Qian Renxue reached out and pointed at Shi Yang below, signaling him to arrange for people to do it immediately.
"Yes, I will arrange for people to handle it right now."
After agreeing, Shi Yang hurriedly instructed several deacons to handle the matter Qian Renxue had mentioned.
After Shi Yang had finished giving the orders, Qian Renxue waved her hand at him, signaling that he and the deacons could withdraw.
Upon receiving Qian Renxue's signal, Shi Yang did not hesitate at all and immediately led the deacons to withdraw, closing the door behind them.
"Ye Xi, you all should take a look at this intelligence."
Qian Renxue handed the intelligence in front of her to Ye Xi and the others, signaling them to take a look first.
After taking the intelligence, Ye Xi and the others immediately began to examine it.
"There are no useful clues; this matter is a bit difficult to handle."
After finishing the intelligence, Ye Xi's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Although there are no valuable clues, we still have to investigate."
"Ghost Leopard, I'll have to trouble you. Go and investigate all the villages mentioned in the intelligence and see if you can get any useful information."
Qian Renxue gently rubbed her temples with her hand and said softly.
"Young Lord, I will go now."
After Ghost Leopard agreed, he rose from his seat and walked out of the room.
He was an agility-attack system Titled Douluo; speed was his specialty, so this matter would not take much time at all.
"Let's rest in the Spirit Hall Main Hall for a while and wait for Ghost Leopard to return."
Qian Renxue said softly, but her gaze was directed towards the direction where Ghost Leopard had left.
"I hope Ghost Leopard can investigate some useful information."
