Chapter 3299: Chapter 3299: I Should Have Realized It Sooner!

Although they didn’t want to put out the fire, feeling it unnecessary, the question of why these corpses caught fire needs investigation.

Salt Lane was merely a place name; it was a wasteland in Rock City where few people wanted to come. Now, with so many Sect disciples and some Noble Clan members’ corpses here, even fewer would approach.

They did not understand how these corpses caught fire.

"Have you found any suspicious people?"

The leading patrol leader looked at the blazing fire and asked the Evil Cultivation behind him.

"Report to the leader, I’ve seen no suspicious people. The streets have remained calm tonight." Even the Evil Cultivation didn’t know how the fire started.

Due to the fear of trouble, the city is patrolled at night. If someone is found outside, it’s not just simple questioning; they’ll be caught for interrogation.

Which citizen of the city would dare to walk the streets at night, let alone come to Salt Lane to set a fire?

What are they trying to achieve, are they bored with their lives?

"Very calm, such a big fire, and you’re telling me it’s calm?" The leader turned his head, his icy eyes fixed on his subordinate, questioning.

If this matter reaches the ears of the master, even the leader cannot protect him. After all, he is responsible for patrolling here, and any trouble falls on him.

"This... Subordinate also doesn’t know what’s going on, leader. Could it be a deliberate disturbance caused by the Sect disciples still in the city?"

The Evil Cultivation speculated.

He was sure this must be the case.

If those Sect disciples are caught by him, he would definitely tear them apart!

Daring to cause such a fuss during his night shift, obviously intentional, and foolish too; if it were somebody else, they would hide, yet here they reveal themselves.

Hearing his subordinate’s words, the leader’s eyes narrowed.

This possibility indeed exists, perhaps remnants of the Sect are still in the city.

"Take a team and guard here, don’t let anyone near. I’ll report to the chief." This matter is too big for him alone; he must report it promptly to the chief.

Hopefully, the chief won’t be so angry as to beat him.

But what he didn’t expect was that the chief did not chastise him, merely instructed him to once again clean up the Sect disciples in the city, leaving none behind.

After receiving his orders, he came to Salt Lane the next morning and found his men scattered on the ground, no longer breathing.

As for the supposed ashes, none remained in Salt Lane; all traces of the burned corpses’ ashes were gone.

"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it!"

Looking at the bodies of his people on the ground, his rage surged, trembling with anger.

At that time, he didn’t think that those burning these corpses were not provoking them, but cremating the Sect disciples so they wouldn’t rot in the sun.

Now it has turned out to be as they wished.

But many of his men were dead, quite a number stationed here.

Where did those Sect disciples get such power to kill so many Evil Cultivators without leaving a single clue?
