In just a moment of leaving, the city guard slowly approached this place. The leader, a rugged-looking man clad in armor and wielding a precious sword at his waist, exuded an aura of True Realm Peak.
Soon, they spotted a headless corpse lying in the street, with the severed head rolling nearby. Upon seeing the head, their eyes widened in shock; it belonged to the Youming Master. After examining the area carefully, they noticed another body piled in a corner, but its head was so mutilated that its features were unrecognizable.
Despite searching thoroughly around, they found no clues. The Guard Captain furrowed his brow deeply; it seemed there was a third person involved since both victims bore identical wounds. The Youming Master and this other individual must have fought against a powerful Sword Cultivator, but unfortunately, they were overpowered and slain.
The Guard Captain deduced that before his death, the Youming Master had been shocked by the strength of this Sword Cultivator, whose cultivation level was at least Xuanjing, allowing him to defeat them effortlessly. Without further thought, the Guard Captain hurriedly ordered the two corpses to be taken back to the County Governor's Office for further investigation by higher authorities.
Quickly, news of this incident spread like wildfire throughout Dongyang County City. After all, a Second-Rank Advanced Array Master had been brutally killed on the streets—this was explosive news. Especially concerning was the mysterious Sword Cultivator who had reached Xuanjing cultivation; many within the city felt fear and warned their family members not to provoke trouble.
During this time, various characters flooded into Dongyang County City, and killings occurred sporadically. Meanwhile, Yun Fan had already returned to Yun Family Mansion. He stored the black robe into a storage bag and changed into the attire of a Yun Family Disciple, revealing his handsome features.
This drew cheers from many female disciples of the Yun Family, their eyes filled with admiration and affection. Yun Fan smiled and greeted everyone before slowly making his way back to his courtyard. He pushed open his door and entered, sitting cross-legged on his bed.
From his bosom, he took out two storage bags, his face beaming with joy. The Youming Master was indeed a Second-Rank Array Master; he had encountered a Silver Medal Killer who was at Xuanjing level—there should be plenty of valuable items inside.
Upon inspecting them closely, Yun Fan's breath quickened as brilliant light shone in his eyes; there were indeed many treasures. The two storage bags contained over seventy thousand spirit stones along with various materials and pills, including more than ten Second-Order Beast Inner Pills.
Especially abundant were the Formation Materials; they were plentiful and diverse enough for him to study formations thoroughly. This would surely enable him to advance to Second-Rank Array Master status.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. The Youming Master and the Silver Medal Killer were indeed remarkable individuals, filling his empty storage bag to the brim. Yun Fan immediately began to practice the array formations, hoping to break through to the rank of Second-Rank Array Master. After all, he had seen numerous powerful formations in the Formation Secret Manual.
If he could successfully set up the Second-Stage Beast-Trapping Formation, the Second Level Defense Array, and the Second-Grade Killing Formation, he would be able to hunt demon beasts in large numbers and obtain Demon Beast Inner Pills to enhance his cultivation.
Soon, he fell into a deep silence, engrossed in his research and exploration. Time slipped away unnoticed.
A month passed quietly.
In Dongyang County City, a piece of news soon sent shockwaves throughout the area. The Heavenly Sword Sect was about to hold its recruitment examination once again.
The news instantly stirred excitement across the city. Many Qing Zidi were filled with enthusiasm and eagerness, all wanting to join the Heavenly Sword Sect for cultivation. Various families buzzed with activity as numerous young disciples gathered together, chattering excitedly about their hopes of entering the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Even within the Yun Family, many Qing Zidi clustered together, discussing their aspirations in small groups.
