Outside the gate of Yongzhou City, the official road was bustling with people.
Suddenly, a suffocating scent of blood swept through the air.
The pedestrians on the road quickly covered their noses, showing expressions of disgust, and curiously looked toward the source of the stench.
They saw a group of officers dressed in the Guardian Martial Department attire, unhurriedly heading towards the city gate.
On the horse behind them was a huge demon corpse.
It seemed neither human nor eagle, grotesque and terrifying.
All the bloodthirsty scent originated from this demon's body.
Everyone who witnessed this scene widened their eyes, shocked and pale.
They hurriedly stepped aside, automatically making way for Shen Qing and his group.
Leading the group, Shen Qing sat tall and proud on his steed, one hand on his sword, the other on the reins, exuding an aura of authority.
"Who is that? He looks so imposing, full of righteousness."
"Is he a high-ranking disciple?"
