“Screeeech, screeeech.” The cry of a night hawk in the pitch-dark night stirred apprehension in people’s hearts.

On a little muddy road 150 kilometers from the capital, there was a funeral procession team of about 10-20 people braving the drizzle.

The team slowly walked forward, their path dancing with paper money flying all over the sky like snow.

After the procession oppressively treaded a block of road, the rain started growing heavier.

In the dark sky, the cry of a giant bird soaring past pierced their ears.

The people at the front of the funeral procession suddenly stopped when a murder of crows flew toward them head-on, causing people to wave their arms around in panic.

All of a sudden, an icy, pale hand crept out from under the lid of the coffin.

Someone in the procession shrieked.

Then, the coffin clattered onto the ground with a heavy bang.

Under the spa.r.s.e light granted by the dismal stars, there was a paunchy woman dressed in white with her long hair draping over here face, just standing there.

The woman slowly lifted her head…

She met the people’s jaw-trembling expressions of shock and, without any hesitation, charged forward with a yell.

On the official road, there was also a troop of horse riders braving the rain.

Yu Xiu, who had a woven rush raincoat wrapped around him, reined in his horse and tilted his head to listen with a frown. Then, he urged his horse forward with a pat to catch up to Crown Prince Mo. “My lord, do you hear any strange noises?”

Crown Prince Mo nodded. There were not only strange noises but also a faint scent of blood drifting toward them with the wind, letting him know that there must be an unforeseen event up ahead.

“Everyone, be careful,” Yu Xiu waved his arm and commanded the following 20+ youths in black.

They were about to reach the capital. With the temper of those few individuals, they would not have a chance to act if you don’t attack now.

Crown Prince Mo absent-mindedly swept his eyes over the road ahead of him, an icy smile drawing on his lips.

Although there was not a woven rush raincoat over his thin and ethereal white clothes, the rain that drifted to his side instantly evaporated into smoke and disappeared without a trace.
