Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 737 - 211: Locust Great Immortal? A Temple Behind the Village’s Mountain!_1
The incident that occurred at the government office of Iron Mountain County spread throughout the entire county seat in a very short amount of time.
After all, the government office of a county seat can be described as the core of power within the county, and any disturbance there would attract the attention of countless residents.
Not to mention that yesterday’s date was too peculiar, and the events that took place were also exceedingly unusual.
Yes!
A day had passed since Fan Wu slaughtered his way through the entire government office of Iron Mountain County.
During this day, all sorts of undercurrents brewed incessantly, and the whole Iron Mountain County was shaken by the event—the Magistrate had died!!!
Many people, upon hearing the news for the first time, reacted with disbelief.
After all, the Magistrate had always lived a life of comfort; how could he have died so suddenly and inexplicably?
Furthermore... that Magistrate had kept so many henchmen.
With so many henchmen protecting him, how could something have gone wrong?
However, when some skeptical people went to the government office to see for themselves, they found that the news was neither false nor a fabrication, but undeniably real!
They hadn’t even entered the government office; a mere glance from afar revealed the complete mess that had befallen the office of Iron Mountain County.
Several corpses lay scattered haphazardly at the entrance to the government office; these were all bodies of government officials.
The blood had dyed the grand entrance a uniform shade of red, and the pervading scent of blood challenged everyone’s nerves.
It made one involuntarily swallow a gulp of saliva.
It was certainly enough to send shivers down one’s spine!
"Truly... there are indeed dead people! Those outsiders actually did make their way inside the government office and killed people!" the locals of Iron Mountain County who had gathered outside the office had waited an entire day before daring to come and check the situation.
Because everyone knew yesterday that the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County wanted to kill one to warn the others, he wanted to provoke the tiger on the mountain. Most people did not wish to encounter the Magistrate’s bad luck yesterday.
Of course, there were some braver individuals, but it was evident that none of those gathered outside today were particularly courageous.
So, when they mustered the courage today to come and check the situation, they found the ground littered with bodies.
After being left out for a day, the corpses faintly exuded a strange odor.
The smell wasn’t necessarily foul!
But it was not much different from foulness either.
"And they killed more than one person! I heard some brave people went inside yesterday to see the state of affairs." someone wiped off non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, "It seems the words of those brave people weren’t false."
"I remember they also said that the Magistrate was dead inside the government office." one person meekly said, "Shall we... shall we go inside and take a look?"
Uh...
Should we go in?
Frankly speaking, they had already mustered a great deal of courage to merely spectate from outside the government office.
Going inside the government office to see the conditions, for them, posed too great a challenge.
But if they didn’t go and check, how would they confirm whether the Magistrate was really dead?
In the end.
A bearded local bit his teeth and walked straight inside: "There’s no sign of life inside; I don’t believe there’s anyone alive in there!"
However, as he moved his legs, they shook slightly, indicating that his emotions were far from calm.
With one person taking the lead, the others glanced at one another, and followed suit, steeling themselves to enter.
Then the disordered state of the government office was laid bare before their eyes—they were utterly dumbfounded!
"That building has actually collapsed?" One of the locals from Iron Mountain County pointed in a direction and stuttered, "If I’m not mistaken, that should be the main hall, right?"
"Sss! Why would the main hall collapse? Could it be that there was a seismic disturbance last night? But why didn’t I feel anything? Surely the seismic disturbance would not have only affected the government office, right?"
"It looks more like it was deliberately demolished by someone, could it be that those outsiders demolished the main hall yesterday? What did they intend to do by tearing down the main hall?"
"Look over there! That... isn’t that the Magistrate?"
"Sss!!!!!"
When everyone turned toward the direction the man was pointing, they saw a very corpulent figure lying on the ground, with a pool of blood beneath the upper body.
The most shocking thing was that the clothing on this corpulent body was none other than the official robe of the Magistrate.
A few of the locals tiptoed closer to the body, and then they saw the face of the corpse frozen in an expression of terror.
This was the Magistrate they were all familiar with; they would recognize that face, even if it were burned to ash!
He actually was dead; the handful of people who were braver yesterday had not lied to them!
And those outsiders had indeed done such a thing yesterday!
"Ah!!" Suddenly, someone let out a scream of horror: "Monster... there’s... there’s a demon!!"
In this world of both gods and demons, uttering such words sent a shock through everyone.
"A demon? Where’s the demon; where is it?" Everyone couldn’t help but become panicked.
