"Master, we'll go first!" Nangong Qing said goodbye to the dean. Long Yixuan glanced at the dean with a slight smile on his lips. The dean looked at Long Yixuan and was really curious about his identity. Such a young man was so powerful that he couldn't even detect it. What was this man's origin?
The three of them left the academy and rode the Fire Phoenix towards the Suzaku Divine Beast Academy. Ruan Fengxia and Nangong Qing rode the Fire Phoenix together, while Long Yixuan was still the Fire Qilin.
“Nangong Qing, do you think it’s the demons’ doing?” They can actually suck all the blood from people. Are all demons blood-sucking monsters?
Nangong Qing frowned, "I don't know, maybe, maybe not!" She didn't dare to jump to conclusions before seeing the bodies. She would wait until she got there and saw them.
It was already evening when the three of them arrived at the Suzaku Divine Beast Academy. They had thought that the academy would be deserted because of this incident, but they did not expect that there would be a large group of people gathered in the center of the academy, talking and pointing.
"What happened?"
Ruan Fengxia squeezed in quickly, and Nangong Qing and Long Yixuan followed. As soon as they got to the front, they saw a corpse. Judging from the clothes, it was a woman's body, about fifteen or sixteen years old. The body was dry and bloodless, with bulging eyeballs. The visible skin on the body was all black, as if it had been burnt, but there were no signs of burns on the hair and clothes.
"Another person died. It seems like we can't stay in this academy any longer!"
"Yes, if we don't leave now, we might be the next one!" There were waves of discussions. The dean stood beside the corpse with a frighteningly gloomy face. This was the eleventh one, and every dead person died in the same way. What was going on? Why did such a thing happen!
"Dean, haven't you caught who did this yet?"
A cold voice came, and the dean stood up. Seeing who was coming, he was very surprised, "It's you!"
Nangong Qing and Ruan Fengxia walked over and took a look at the dead body. "We were sent by the dean to help with the investigation!" Nangong Qing stated her intention calmly. The dean had the greatest responsibility for what happened in the academy. If he was not careful, he would be accused of a crime and even ruin the reputation of the Divine Beast Academy for thousands of years.
"Old man, what happened? How could this happen? Can you tell us in detail?" Ruan Fengxia took a look at the corpse and her face darkened. What on earth could have done this? How could it have made a person like this? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would really suspect that the corpse was a mummy!
The dean shook his head. "I don't know what happened either. Eleven days ago, the academy's summoner was training in the back mountain. At noon, the others heard a scream and ran over to see a student dead. The cause of death was the same as this student's."
Nangong Qing walked to the side of the corpse and squatted down. She reached out her hand to push aside the long hair on the deceased's neck. When she saw the two holes on the neck, her brows furrowed even more.
"What is this?" Long Yixuan stretched out his hand to touch the two holes but was stopped by Nangong Qing, "Don't touch it with your hands. If it's poisonous, it will be troublesome!"
Long Yixuan withdrew his hand and looked at Nangong Qing. She took out a dagger and gently cut the wound, her brows tightly furrowed.
"This is……"
"A drop of blood!" Nangong Qing said. The students around looked at Nangong Qing curiously and whispered. The dean looked at the drop of blood on the dagger and frowned. "You mean all the blood in her body was lost from these two holes?"
