Chapter 747: Chapter 747: The Death of Ryu Shusai_1

Half an hour later, the fire was finally brought under control.

More than twenty bodies were carried out one by one on stretchers by the firefighters.

None of these bodies was intact, and the worst of them only had the upper half remaining, half of the body had been charred black, with only the cheeks faintly recognizable as belonging to a middle-aged man.

At this moment, hearing the news, the person in charge of Sakura Island rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing those bodies covered with white cloths, the bald-headed official felt the world spinning around him, his entire body indescribably weak.

In the area under his jurisdiction, such a major incident had occurred. It was over; his career as an official was completely finished.

Just then, the fire brigade captain approached, trembling as he spoke, "Sir, we’ve preliminarily confirmed that there are a total of twenty-six bodies on the scene..."

"What? Twenty-six victims? Have their identities been confirmed?"

The bald official trembled, nearly bursting into tears.

The fire brigade captain nodded, "Currently, the DNA test results are not out yet, but nineteen bodies have been identified by nearby residents as members of the Liusui clan."

"The Liusui family! The Liusui family!"

Plucking at the few remaining strands of hair on either side of his head, the official felt his head was about to explode.

He paced back and forth at the scene for a dozen or so steps, and after five or six minutes, he sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "The Liusui family is one of the three great martial families of our Yingzhou island nation. Now, with so many members encountering tragedy one after another, the implications are significant!"

"So, you must contact the Liusui clan leader immediately, inform him of the situation truthfully, and do not mention the details of this incident to anyone else!"

With that, he gestured for the fire brigade captain to leave first, then signaled the security to push back the journalists and media with cameras.

The incident was of great importance. Until the cause of death of the Liusui clan members was confirmed, he would absolutely not reveal any information, especially to media that liked to sensationalize.

"Sir!"

However, the fire brigade captain did not leave; his expression was odd, somewhat like crying and somewhat like fear.

The bald official frowned, his tone quite displeased, "Captain Da Gu! Do you not understand what I said?"

Fire brigade captain Da Gu looked conflicted for a moment, but eventually took a deep breath, pulled the bald official aside, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Inoue, there are two matters that I still need to report to you!"

"First, the twenty-six bodies found at the scene did not die in the fire. They were already dead before the fire broke out."

"What!!!"

Mr. Inoue, the bald official, widened his eyes in disbelief, "You’re saying all these people didn’t die in the fire? Then what was the cause of their deaths?"

"They died from knife wounds."

Da Gu sighed deeply, shaking his head, "You arrived rather late and didn’t see the horrific state of the bodies; none were intact..."

"Impossible!"

Mr. Inoue shook his head like a bobblehead doll, "You just said, these are all members of the Liusui clan, and they are all top-class martial artists. Who could have killed them?"

"And the second matter?"

At the mention of the second matter, Da Gu seemed to hesitate, and just as Mr. Inoue was about to lose his temper, he finally lowered his head and said, "At the site, we found a body with an ’X’ carved into its back with a blade."

"That body, after our identification, seems to be the clan leader of the Liusui family, Lord Liusui Funasai..."

Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, Mr. Inoue’s face was etched with horror, and he could not have imagined that one of the victims would be the esteemed blade god of Yingzhou, Liusui Funasai.

Inoue was already approaching sixty this year, and his health had never been the best. At the news, his blood pressure shot up. Clutching his chest, he took a couple of deep breaths, but still, his eyes darkened, and he fainted straight away.

"Lord Inoue!"

The fire brigade captain panicked and hurriedly called for medical personnel to come and rescue him.

A female journalist with bangs took advantage of the chaos to slip into the site of the fire. She sneakily turned on the video function of her phone and crept inside.

"It’s too tragic, way too tragic—over twenty people, some with arms chopped off, others with legs. I saw one; they only had their upper body left; it was practically a massacre!"

"Sigh! Who did the Yagyū clan offend to attract such a formidable enemy? Even our Yingzhou blade god, Yagyū Funasai, was killed. Isn’t that terrifying?"

At that moment, a few firefighters involved in extinguishing the fire were lying in a corner resting and chatting casually. They didn’t notice that, around the corner, a female journalist was filming them with her phone.

Hearing these firefighters’ conversation, the female journalist was stunned.

"Nani? Over twenty people died on the scene? Not from the fire? But slaughtered like pigs and dogs?"

"And, our Yingzhou blade god, Yagyū Funasai, has also fallen victim this time?"

The female journalist thought it must be some mismanagement at the scene that led to the fire, thinking she could make an exclusive report.

But she never imagined—the over twenty victims at the scene were actually killed by homicide!

And one of them was even Yagyū Funasai, the national treasure-level martial artist of Yingzhou!

After being shocked for several seconds, a glint of excitement flashed in the female journalist’s eyes. She focused on the bodies covered with white cloth.

This was the real explosive exclusive news!

Two days later, a media outlet known as Fuji News released a report, alleging that the Yagyū clan, one of the three great families of Yingzhou Island, may have suffered a vendetta, with more than twenty of its members slaughtered, and the manner of death was terribly gruesome.

To corroborate the veracity of their report, the media outlet also released a video featuring over twenty victims.

Even though the video had been blurred with a mosaic, people could still feel the provocative stench of blood through the screen—it was too gruesome, too frightening.

How could there be such malicious people in this world!

Before people had time to digest this news, Fuji News blew up another explosive piece of news:

In this massacre of the Yagyū clan, the family head and blade god of Yingzhou Island, Yagyū Funasai was also on the list of casualties!

...

Nie Family of Dragon City, Jiuzhou.

"What?!!"

Glancing at the news report on his phone, Nie Zhenyuan, who was sitting on a camel-colored sofa, cried out in disbelief, "Yagyū Funasai was killed?"

"Damn it! Isn’t he the blade god of Yingzhou? Isn’t he an Innate Earth Ranked Expert? How could he have been killed by someone?"

"Family Head, could this report be fake?"

Nie Hengxing, the bodyguard standing behind him, frowned slightly and interjected. Although he had never met Yagyū Funasai, the man was indeed an expert of the Innate Earth Rank. There weren’t many people who could kill someone at that level.

"It’s probably true."

Nie Zhenyuan sighed, closed his eyes, tossed the phone aside, and murmured, "That Fuji News released several videos, one of which showed the face of a victim that looks extremely similar to Yagyū Funasai."

"Another one captured the unintentional discussion of firefighters at the scene, who indeed claimed Yagyū Funasai’s cause of death was by a bladed weapon."

"Damn it! Yagyū Funasai has encountered trouble at such a time. Who will guarantee the safety of our cargo shipped out of Yingzhou Island from now on..."
