Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 1194 Bloodbath at Shen's Mansion

"Hurry up and tell me!" Chu Ze urged impatiently.

"It's the Shen family! Something happened to the Shen family!" The guard uttered a few words with difficulty.

"What?" Chu Ze was shocked and stood up suddenly. "What happened? Tell me from the beginning!"

The guard swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "It is said that the Shen family was brutally wiped out, and no one in the family was spared!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ze felt as if the world was spinning around him.

"How is this possible?" he muttered to himself, his face turning pale.

The Shen family is a powerful family in the imperial court with a strong background. Even the emperor would not dare to touch them easily.

Now it is said that the Shen family was wiped out?
There must be something fishy in this!

Chu Ze tried to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who did this?"

The guard shook his head: "I just heard people talking about it on the street, I don't know the details."

Chu Ze snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying, "Go down."

The guards retreated in a hurry as if they had been pardoned.

Chu Ze paced back and forth in the room with a frown on his face.

The destruction of the Shen family was a bolt from the blue for the imperial court.

Chu Ze just felt dizzy and his mind was in a mess.

The Shen family was destroyed? How is this possible?

They are the royal family in the court, and even the emperor has to give them some face. Who has the courage to attack the Shen family?

Could it be that mysterious demon?

Thinking of this, Chu Ze was shocked.

The demon's origin is unknown, but his martial arts skills are very strong. If he really harms the Shen family, I'm afraid the Shen family will be in great danger.

But why did the demon target the Shen family? What was the conflict between them?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and Chu Ze became extremely anxious.

He paced back and forth in the room, his fingers tapping on the table unconsciously, making a "tapping" sound.

Outside the window, the autumn wind blew, blowing up fallen leaves. The sky was gloomy, as if pressed by a layer of leaden clouds, making it hard to breathe.

Chu Ze's mood was as gloomy as the weather.

He stood still abruptly, his eyes determined.

No, I have to go to the Shen Mansion and find out for myself!

Thinking of this, he strode out of the room and ordered the guards to prepare the horses.

Soon, a tall horse was led over.

Chu Ze jumped onto the horse, squeezed his legs together, and galloped away.

Dust flew up behind him, and before the guards could react, his figure disappeared at the end of the street.

The Shen Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the capital and was originally a magnificent mansion.

But now, there is dead silence.

The tall vermilion-painted gate was tightly closed, and the stone lions in front of the gate were mottled and seemed to have been weathered for many years.

The sky above the mansion was covered with dark clouds, exuding a chilling chill.

Chu Ze got off the horse and walked slowly to the door.

He reached out and pushed the door, but the heavy door did not move at all, standing there like an iron tower.

Chu Ze frowned, feeling that something was fishy.

He took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and suddenly leaped up!

I saw a black shadow passing through the air and landing steadily on the courtyard wall.

Chu Ze's eyes were as fast as lightning as he quickly scanned the scene in the courtyard.

The next second, his pupils suddenly shrank and he took a breath of cold air.

There were countless corpses lying in the huge courtyard.

The blood dyed the bluestone floor tiles red, a shocking sight.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people feel nauseous.

"What's going on?"

Chu Ze spoke to himself in a trembling voice, feeling his scalp tingling.

He calmed himself down, jumped off the wall, and walked quickly into the yard.

There were corpses everywhere, no one was spared.

Men, women, old and young, all lay lifeless in a pool of blood, with some having knife wounds or sword wounds, and in the end all could not escape death.

Chu Ze squatted down and examined the body carefully.

Judging from the shape and depth of the wounds, the murderer acted very quickly, killing almost everyone with one strike. Moreover, each person was stabbed several times, and the murderer was obviously deliberate and determined to chop everyone into minced meat.

Such cruelty is chilling.

Chu Ze stood up, frowning.

The Shen family was a wealthy family with many experts in the mansion. Even martial arts masters did not dare to provoke them easily.

But now they have been slaughtered completely, and the cruelty of the means is truly horrifying.

Who on earth has such ability and courage?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a rustling sound of footsteps in the yard.

Chu Ze turned around alertly and saw a figure walking out from the corridor.

The man was dressed in plain clothes, with a veil on his face, and was thin, like a wandering soul.

"who?"

Chu Ze asked in a deep voice, with his right hand on the sword at his waist.

The man did not answer, but walked slowly closer.

After seeing the face clearly, Chu Ze couldn't help but take a breath.

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen?"

His eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice trembled a little.

The person who came was Shen Qingwu!
But at this moment, where is she still as graceful and elegant as before?
Her long, shiny black hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders.

The face that was originally as white as jade now turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

Her beautiful eyes were lifeless, as if they had lost all vitality.

"Miss Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ze hurried forward and asked with concern.

Shen Qingwu seemed not to have heard anything. She just stared blankly at the corpses on the ground and muttered to herself:
"Dad, Mom, where are you? Why did you leave your daughter alone?"

Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, revealing a sense of grief.

Chu Ze felt a pain in his heart, and felt like his internal organs were burning.

The daughter of the Shen family fell to this state in just one night.

Her parents, brothers, and clansmen all died tragically in this bloody storm.

Now she is the only one left, how miserable and helpless must she be?
Chu Ze gently grasped Shen Qingwu's hand and comforted her softly:
"My girl, please accept my condolences. Life and death are determined by fate, and the night is long and dark. Although your family is gone, you still have to live on."

"To live? What's the point of living?"

Shen Qingwu raised her head suddenly and laughed bitterly.

She shook off Chu Ze's hand, staggered to the yard, stretched out her arms, and shouted hysterically:

"I won't live anymore! I want to be with my father and mother, and our family will be together forever!"

Before she finished her words, she suddenly ran to the corridor, as if she was going to commit suicide by hitting her head against the pillar.

"Miss Shen!"

Chu Ze was horrified, jumped up and grabbed Shen Qingwu.

"You're crazy! If you die, you'll have nothing!"

Shen Qingwu's eyes were red, and she struggled desperately:

"Let me go! I want to die! I won't live anymore!"

She was screaming, hysterical, and in tears.

Chu Ze gritted his teeth, raised his hand and hit her on the back of the neck.
