Infiltrate!

Good citizens!

Obey the law!

Escort Agency!

Head of the escort!

Be kind to others!

Wait, all these rules of the Escort Agency are forcefully crammed into these people’s heads in a stuffing manner. By using super mandatory means, they are made to submit.

For Zheng Yunqi and others before, the Starlight Master could be slightly lenient, but he never thought of doing so for the later entrants from the Yixin Sect.

Lenient? Why?

If they listen, use them while they can still be of some use; if not, beat them to death is more like it.

And this kind of differential treatment by the Starlight Master made Zheng Yunqi, Zhao Wushang, and others feel even more privileged.

Naturally, they felt more satisfied in their hearts. And with satisfaction, comes unwavering loyalty to the Starlight Master.

"We must train these people well for the Leader before leaving! Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease leaving."

Zheng Yunqi solemnly instructed everyone.

"That’s a must!"

Wu Lianlian was training several female accountants of the Yixin Sect, while Zhou Meier was beginning the reception training.

The two women were uncharacteristically strict.

The witch-like demeanor was evident.

And now the greatest motivation sustaining these 160 people is: "When the new batch comes, you also have to participate in training and management."

"Only by training yourself can you better understand and implement the rules."

Understanding and implementing it better or so, this group didn’t take it to heart, but the key is that they can beat people now.

Through personal experience these days, they have tasted almost all of those instruments of punishment, needless to say, they’ve definitely learned how to use them!

"In any case, I must use these instruments even more harshly on that group of guys! My suffering cannot be in vain! I must make others suffer more than I did!"

This is the greatest motivation and obsession.

By the third day, the Starlight Master surprisingly did not come, but Zheng Yunqi and others still strictly adhered to the Starlight Master’s instructions and conducted a strict assessment of the results of these three days.

They were even stricter than when the Starlight Master was there.

But they couldn’t help but wonder where the Starlight Master had gone.

That’s a set appointment, and such an important one, how could he not come?

...

Mr. Fang is now almost overwhelmed with work at the Guardian Hall.

Something has happened in Baiyun State.

And incidents have been happening one after another.

The situation started a day ago when a residential area in the South City District mysteriously resulted in the deaths of thirty-two people.

Thirty-two people, eight families, died cleanly.

Fang Che immediately sensed something was wrong and sent people to investigate. During the investigation, news came from the West District reporting the discovery of over two hundred civilian corpses.

Subsequently, messages from all directions of Southeast and Northwest kept coming in.

A large number of civilians were dying without reason!

Fang Che stayed busy all night without returning, continuing to collate and investigate.

Up until the early hours of the next day, over three thousand people were already reported dead.

Moreover, this number was still continuously increasing.

In two days and nights.

The currently discovered death toll was around eight thousand.

The entire Baiyun State was shocked!

The city was under strict blockade, and a large square was sealed off, with all the bodies being transported there one after another.

The cause must be found.

The forensic doctors from the Guardian Hall and Baiyun State City Guard’s criminal division were collaborating to examine the bodies.

And the Guardian Hall personnel, led by the Deputy Hall Master Fang, were checking each corpse.

The cause of death must be determined.

Fang Che, with a grim expression, inspected each corpse, feeling a sense of oppression ready to explode inside.

These were all civilians with no martial power, or at most, those with the highest martial power among them were merely Martial Disciples or Samurai, almost posing no threat.

Especially to the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, they posed even less of a threat.

Yet they died so mysteriously; if it were said that over eight thousand people suddenly and uniformly died of the same illness, no one would believe it!

The deceased had peaceful faces, showing no signs of fear.

It was like they were asleep.

Mostly, families of three to five, appeared as if in deep sleep.

"When the bodies were found, were they inside rooms, on beds, or outside?"

"Mostly on beds."

"Not poisoned. It looks like natural deaths."

"But how could so many people naturally die at the same time?"

"No wounds on their bodies either."

"..."

Fang Che turned around and commanded, "Notify the City Guardian Mansion to inspect every household throughout the city. See exactly how many are dead!"

"The inspection has already begun. All discoveries will be brought here gradually."

Zhao Ying’er felt herself trembling all over, seeing nearly ten thousand dead at once.

This visual impact was enough to make any normal person’s emotions explode and their heart shatter.

Tears welled up uncontrollably: "Who did this... it’s too cruel! Too cruel!"

Fang Che’s face was stern: "Investigate if the historical misdeeds or massacres by Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s branches in the Southeast could be similar. Besides, send inquiries to other states to see if they have similar occurrences."

"Third, check the sacrificial rituals of the Southeast branches."

"Fourth..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when his expression grew even heavier, lifting his eyes to look at the entrance on the other side of the square.

Over there, lines of carriages were approaching.

On the carriages, each one was covered with large white cloths, concealing everything.

But everyone knew what was on them.

Seeing the high-stacked wagons, it was clear that each carriage held dozens of bodies at the very least.
