Wei Hua is dead.
Died a horrible death, lying on the dormitory bed, head dangling off the edge, eyes wide open, dead without peace.
And his internal organs were all pulled out.
The entire dormitory, the walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all smeared with fresh blood.
The scream came from the dormitory cleaning lady, who, while cleaning during the day, saw such a horrific scene and couldn't help but scream in fright.
In fact, it wasn't just her.
Even when Zhou Qing and the Dean, Sun Yuan, arrived and saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Back in the day when they were young and adventurous, blood was not uncommon, but after becoming school instructors, living in comfort for many years, they hadn't experienced life-and-death struggles for a long time.
Suddenly seeing such a horrific scene, they were really quite unaccustomed to it...
"Immediately seal off this area, report to the armed police!"
Zhou Qing immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Seal off the teaching building, no one is allowed in or out, also, everyone stay away, don't destroy the scene."
The blood was still warm, the culprit hadn't gone far.
They weren't professionals; if they investigated rashly, they might end up destroying the scene instead.
And Zhou Qing glanced at the wide-open window, without a doubt, the culprit escaped through here.
He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped out the window to chase.
But he returned shortly after.
Irritated, he said: "Not even a footprint left, too cunning, it seems we'll have to wait for the police to arrive."
Half an hour later.
Several hovering police boats swiftly entered Qingyang High School.
The dormitory building was quickly surrounded.
Professional armed police had already started investigating the scene.
A murder in Qingyang High School, this matter was extremely serious.
Ji Roufeng and Zhang Ziqian also arrived at the scene, along with the five disciples... although they hadn't officially joined the sect yet, they were only a step away.
Seeing them in traditional clothes, the armed police sensibly did not obstruct them.
Even Xu Lingjun and Guo Zheng quietly blended in.
A dead person was not surprising, but to die in the school, and it was a prominent figure at the ninth rank Body Tempering level who died.
The perpetrator must be at least a Qi Gathering realm martial artist to have done this.
A murder happening around them, they naturally couldn't help but want to pay attention... this was already a matter of their personal safety.
"Hua'er."
Wei Hua's parents rushed over upon receiving the news, and at the first sight of the body, his mother couldn't help but gasp in shock, directly collapsing to the ground unconscious.
"The perpetrator was not human!"
After a serious inspection of the scene.
The coroner said gravely, "The culprit should be a demon beast, and moreover, this demon beast is very fierce, the deceased was eaten alive for his organs, enduring extreme pain before he finally passed away!"
"A demon beast?"
"What kind of demon beast could break into our Qingzhou City?"
Wei Hua's father Wei Ziqi, tears streaming down his face, roared angrily, "What kind of demon beast could break through the layers of human encirclement and come to the school to kill my son?"
"Breaking in isn't easy, but it's not impossible."
One of the armed police, Zhao Kai, replied earnestly, "Demon beasts are no less intelligent than us humans; although human flesh is tempting to them, under normal circumstances they also know that attacking humans bears no chance of luck. For demon beasts that have tasted human flesh, human tolerance is zero, so..."
"So my nephew is dead already!"
Wei Hua's aunt, Wei Hongmian, was much calmer than her brother and sister-in-law, she said coldly, "From what you say, Hua'er died so horrifically... Guo Xu, my nephew died in your place, you owe me an explanation."
Guo Xu smiled wryly, "There will certainly be an explanation for this matter, but for now, if there really is a demon beast that infiltrated here, the most important thing is to capture it, prevent any further victims."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then asked, "The deceased just came back from the Outer Realm yesterday, could this be related?"
"Are you saying a demon beast followed your return journey and came to the city?"
Zhao Kai nodded, "We can't rule out this possibility. I've also heard about the events at Qingyang High School recently. On this trip to the Outer Realm, did you provoke any formidable demon beasts?"
Zhou Qing smiled wryly, "No, to ensure the students' safety, the three of us tutors basically went ahead first, to drive away those powerful demon beasts, these students didn't even have the chance to see a powerful demon beast."
Zhao Kai thought seriously, looked at Guo Xu, and said earnestly, "Principal Guo, I suggest closing the school. For a demon beast capable of tearing apart a ninth rank Body Tempering reserve martial artist, its strength is at least a Level 4 demon beast. If this kind of strength goes on a rampage in Qingzhou City, it would cause great casualties. It's best to contain it within the school."
"It's necessary, I have to be responsible for the students!"
Guo Xu said, "I'll go out and inform the students immediately, everyone leave at once, close the school, uncertain if this demon beast has left, we can't let anyone stay here."
He hurriedly went out.
Xu Lingjun and Guo Zheng exchanged glances with Li Lei.
The three of them quietly backed out as well.
They all looked a bit pale, even Xu Lingjun, the most mature mentally, was shaken beyond measure.
The one who died was their companion, their schoolmate.
Just the day before, they were still greeting each other, today he's dead, and died in such a gruesome way.
For them, this was the first experience of such kind.
"What happened?"
Wang Qingya came running, and upon seeing Xu Lingjun, she asked.
"Sister Yaya, don't go in."
Xu Lingjun grabbed her hand and pulled her out, saying softly, "Someone died."
Wang Qingya appeared much calmer.
She was a top student at Zhanzheng Academy, specializing in war weapons... though she might not have seen a death personally, she was certainly not unfamiliar with it!
She gently nodded, gripping Xu Lingjun's hand back, softly asking, "Has the culprit been caught?"
"No, the perpetrator should be a demon beast that sneaked in from the Outer Realm, so there might be a suspension of classes."
Xu Lingjun said, feeling somewhat fortunate... fortunate that he had previously proven his strength to Teacher Zhou, otherwise if the classes were suspended until the Dragon Gate Examination, he might still be at the Body Tempering Eighth Rank, probably not even qualifying to apply to the Four Great Martial Mansions.
Although the suspension might not last that long, they could not ignore this fact.
On the playground.
Upon hearing that a ninth rank Body Tempering student died in school,
all students were pale with fright, especially upon hearing that the culprit was a demon beast, uncertain if it had left Qingyang High School... it further weakened their limbs.
Upon hearing that classes were suspended from now on,
almost all students didn't even care to return to their classes to pack their things.
One by one, under the cover of armed police, they left school promptly, each returning home.
Needless to say, once all students are evacuated, the armed police will conduct a thorough search of the entire school, now they only hope the demon beast does not leave the academy, otherwise, if the rampage spreads throughout Qingzhou City,
the pressure on them will be tremendous.
Knowing that the demon beast sneaked into Qingzhou City, this thing is incredibly severe.
