Under the cover of night, the two of them returned to the mansion's other courtyard without any problems. Sikong Haoxuan threw Nan Xing, who had a belly full of questions, towards his room and activated the years on his body. He returned to his room and cultivated with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened tonight, everything was so natural.

The city guards were worthy of being one of the elite troops guarding the imperial capital, shortly after Sikong Haoxuan returned to his house, they discovered the anomaly of the surveillance target. The battalion commander in charge of the surveillance did not dare to be negligent and was busy reporting the matter.

Within a very short period of time, the city guards' commander came in person. Under the intrusion to check out, one by one, as if the face of the enemy city guards could not help but change greatly, fifty thieves were killed in the room without exception.

City guards commander Karnak black face will be responsible for monitoring the battalion commander after a reprimand, the heart can not help but begin to think about how to explain to the superior. Joking, in a whole battalion of city guards surveillance, let a person noiselessly kill fifty people without knowing, not to mention the face of the city guards, such a dereliction of duty his city guards commander's head will also be unstable.

At the time when Karnak was worrying about his own head, Sikong Buqun, who was in charge of the empire's military affairs, had already gotten disappeared. In the study of the Sikong residence, he summoned Karnak, the commander of the city guards, overnight.

In the study, Sikong Buqun was sitting in the center of the room, staring closely at Karnak who had hurriedly arrived. Sikong Buqun had always been satisfied with this personally promoted foreign member of the family, a capable person, and he was also very puzzled in his heart as to how such a big mistake could occur in such an important matter.

Sikong Buqun said to Kanak who stood respectfully in front of him, "Do you know, the consequences of this matter?"

Kanak didn't dare to raise his head and knelt on the ground, "Yes, please chastise the family master!"

"Chastisement? Can chastisement make up for the faults you have committed? Do you know that if this matter is not handled properly, you will be kicked out of your position as the City Guard's Grand Commander. You know that His Majesty is personally in charge of this matter, why are you still so careless? Do you think that the other few clans will easily let this matter go in front of His Majesty?" Sikong Buqun said angrily.

Looking at Karnak, who was kneeling on the ground without saying anything, Sikong Buqun closed his eyes and calmed his emotions, "Have you investigated the scene, and have you found any traces left by the murderer?"

Karnak said: "my subordinate has ordered people to investigate the scene, from the murderer's route, the murderer is very familiar with the city guards' defense, so my subordinate boldly speculated that it is within the city guards or the family within the people. From the footprints found at the scene, I presume that the murderer was two people. Footprints are small and short, first ruled out the dwarves, because the footprints are shallow, with the average weight of the dwarves could not have left such shallow footprints. The rest is the dwarf race, but my subordinate is really unable to analyze why the dwarf race, which has been rare, would risk killing the Blood Pirates."

Karnak said here in one breath and continued with some hesitation, "Judging from the footprints, there is also, there is another possibility, that is, underage children. But to say that two children killed fifty elite members of the Blood Pirates is even more absurd. In addition, the murderer's killing method is very special, it seems to be a habit, and all fifty Blood Bandits were killed by crushing their throat bones." After Kanak finished speaking, he presented the written report to Sikong Buqun.

Sikong Buqun looked at the report in his hand was very satisfied with Karnak's performance, after the change, able to react quickly, "It seems that the footprints and this special killing habit is the only clue left by the murderer, let the magician go to do the footprints of the duplicate?"

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"A magician from the city guards has been asked to go there, but because the footprints are too shallow, the compression of the earth's earth element is limited, so the magician will need a not-so-short period of time to fully restore the footprints left on the ground."

Sikong Buqun nodded and said, "You go back first, and order the city guards to blockade the nine gates and arrest anyone under suspicion."

After Kanak exited the study, Sikong Buqun handed the report in his hand, to the person beside him, "Mr. Xi, how do you feel about this matter?"

Mr. Xi, who usually lived in deep seclusion, appeared to be mysterious. No one in the Sikong Mansion knew what his name was, but it was clear to everyone that Mr. Xi was definitely deeply trusted by Sikong Buqun.

After carefully reading over the report, Mr. Xi, who was holding his beard, said: ''Kanak is indeed a talented person, and his adaptability is very fast. To be able to make such a detailed report just after the incident, it is indeed not easy. Only, this murderer's killing method is indeed puzzling. Shattering human throat, is rarely seen on the continent's killing techniques, but the army scouts commonly used to such techniques, it is also very likely that the murderer's intentional cover-up. There is also a possibility that a few other clans had their eyes on the position of the Chancellor and couldn't stand the loneliness."

Sikong Buqun's eyes flashed with brilliance, "Not going to analyze who the murderer is for now, let's first think about how we can keep one of the positions of the city guards' chancellor in tomorrow morning's court. Want to hit my Sikong family's idea, humph!"

It was night, the Sikong family head's study, the lights were on all night. Sikong Haoxuan did not know in the slightest that what he thought was seamless was already calling out under the analysis of several people. Magic, Sikong Haoxuan was still in the ignorant stage of the core skills of this world.

Early in the morning, Sikong Haoxuan opened his eyes on time, washed and dressed under Xue'er's careful waiting. A maid had come over early to inform that Song Ziyan was going to have breakfast with Sikong Haoxuan today.

Bringing the properly packed Xue'er with him, Sikong Haoxuan walked towards his mother's private courtyard. Although the early morning air was so fresh in the Sikong mansion which was full of trees and flowers, Sikong Haoxuan's heart was still frowning at the large section of the road to his mother's private courtyard, and was calculating that he would need to make a sedan chair quickly.

On the way, Sikong Haoxuan had been calculating and designing his own sedan chair. Although the scenery in the mansion was beautiful, it no longer attracted Sikong Haoxuan who was in it every day.

If one concentrates on a particular thing, time always seems to be relatively short, and without realizing it, he arrives at his mother's private courtyard. Song Zi Yan who had not seen Sikong Hao Xuan for a few days appeared to be very happy, "Xuan'er, not coming to mom's place for a few days, did you forget about mom after you gained benefits?"

Sikong Haoxuan knew that Song Zi Yan was referring to the Amethyst card that she had given herself on her birthday, the crystal coins there were incomparable to the usual pocket money that the housekeeping of the mansion allocated to her. Sikong Haoxuan hurriedly stepped forward to hold his mother and said: ''Mom, see what you're saying. How could I forget to greet you. It's really because you're not close to my courtyard, and as you know, your son is just a bit lazy. It will be fine after a few days, I've already thought of a way to come over to see you every day in the future."

Seeing Sikong Haoxuan has long been full of joy Song Zi Yan, that will really go to blame the son, pulled Sikong Haoxuan at the table to sit down, waved his hand to signal the maid can open the meal.

Song Zi Yan received a golden wine pot of pure color from the maid's hand and said: ''Xuan'er, this is a special product sent by your father from the Southern Border, and it is a very precious thing in the Southern Border. This is what he sent to honor your grandfather, and mother gave some to Sikong to let you taste it as well."

Song Zi Yan personally filled the wine cup in front of Sikong Hao Xuan with a transparent liquid containing a few strands of bright red blood, "Xuan'er, this is the blood of the Golden Beast that is a specialty of the Golden Forest in the Southern Border. Your father sent it but it hasn't been blended with a trace of water, quickly taste it."

Sikong Haoxuan had sensed that this liquid was a type of blood as early as when Song Ziyan poured out the liquid. Soul Sorcery, in the ancient times, was known as the most cruel and bizarre sorcery that harmed heaven and earth, because the foundation of Soul Sorcery was Blood Sorcery, and it was only after ingesting the blood of a living creature to stabilize the foundation of the sorcery that it was able to ingest the soul of the living creature to cultivate Soul Sorcery. By chance, Sikong Haoxuan had directly condensed an innate powerful soul in his mother's body, and although he had skipped the stage of blood sorcery, he still had an innate keen perception of blood.
