County Magistrate Wang wasn't trying to intimidate the Kaiyang Saint Heir.
He was genuinely occupied.
At noon, he had received a report from a Captain about a murder case. In Wang Family Bay, just outside the city, the entire family of an old Scholar—seven people—had been massacred. It was confirmed to be the work of a Martial Artist, and a handkerchief embroidered with the totem of the Profound Yellow Sect had been found at the scene.
Normally, since it had been confirmed to be the work of a Martial Artist, he should have just transferred the case to the Jing'an Guard.
But because the crime occurred in Tongzhou and might involve the Profound Yellow Sect, County Magistrate Wang, the Squad Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect's Tongzhou Branch, couldn't help but go to the scene himself.
Even though he was accustomed to life and death, such a gruesome scene still dealt County Magistrate Wang a massive psychological blow.
