Shen Qing and the others didn't have to wait long before an officer, covered in dust, hurriedly rushed in and said, "Lord Shen."
Shen Qing asked in a deep voice, "Speak, what's the situation?"
"Lord Chief Officer, the entire family of the Prefectural Governor has been devoured by demons!"
The officer took a breath and continued, "Just now, we don't know when a Great Demon snuck into the county government. The demon's power was overwhelming, and the Prefectural Governor's family couldn't resist at all. Now there are no remains left."
At these words, a dead silence instantly fell all around, with only the occasional sound of wind whistling in the courtyard.
Shen Qing's gaze sharpened.
Not long ago, the Prefectural Governor had sustained serious injuries in a fierce fight with a Snake Demon and had been in seclusion to heal.
