Cinian, too, smelled the scent of blood.
His brows lightly furrowed.
Fortunately, the Imperial Guard had not yet removed the body of the Qi Refining warrior. At Qi Mu's order, they immediately carried the body inside.
The other smaller Zen Masters immediately changed their expressions upon seeing the body.
"Master..." one of them murmured.
Cinian raised his hand, signaling for them to remain calm.
Nanli still had the task notice, and she used her spiritual power to send it over.
"Zen Master, please take a look," she said.
Cinian took the notice and glanced at it. His brows furrowed even deeper. "This task notice doesn't carry Island Master Yan's spiritual power."
"Who would inject their own spiritual energy when doing something evil?" Nanli replied, "Elder Liang Jie's body is just outside the capital. If you don't believe me, go and check for yourself."
Elder Chen and Uncle De's eyes widened in shock.
