"So... what are we supposed to do with this old man's body?"
"The Thousand Households said to transport him to the Inspection Office."
"Transport him to the Inspection Office? What for?"
Chu Mu was astonished.
"According to the survivor we captured, this old man took on nine disciples in the village back in the day. He didn't stop the other villagers from watching them practice martial arts, either."
"That's why the fight was so brutal when we went into the mountains!"
"And of the old man's nine disciples, we only killed six. The other three are nowhere to be found."
"The Thousand Households wants us to bring the body back to spread the word and lure those three Rebels out."
"Just for three petty thieves? Is it really worth going to such great lengths?"
Chu Mu was doubtful. The words had just left his mouth when his gaze fell upon the old man's lifelike corpse, and he began to understand.
A body that doesn't decay after death!
This alone held an extraordinary significance.
