Chapter 860: After the modification: Chapter 80 Mixed Blood and Pure Blood

“What’s going on?” At this moment, voices could already be heard outside the Sen Luo Tower.

Closely following, a squad of ten Demonic Cultivators dressed in black armor and exuding a formidable aura walked in.

They were the Imperial Guards of the Royal City, the Jian Luo Army.

The rules of the Royal City were extremely strict, and the Jian Luo Army was also forbidden from using aerial travel.

So, upon hearing the commotion, they could only rush over on foot, causing some delay on the way.

However, from the time of the incident to now, although it seemed long, it was actually only a moment. For the Jian Luo Army to arrive so quickly demonstrated their high efficiency.

Ying Mingyue stepped forward and explained, “I am Ying Mingyue of the Shi Wu lineage. There was a villain who openly attacked within the city, attempting to assassinate my future husband Qing Ge.

Although I have already slain the culprit on the spot, I suspect that his accomplices may still be present. I request the Jian Luo Army to help control the scene and interrogate all the Demonic Cultivators present.”

The leader of this Jian Luo Army squad, a Seventh Grade Demon Marshal, recognized Ying Mingyue’s identity and understood the severity of the situation upon hearing her words.

His expression immediately changed.

The son-in-law of the Shi Wu lineage being attacked within the Royal City would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.

Moreover, not long ago, Ying Jun, a pureblood of the Shi Wu lineage, was murdered outside Jian Luo King City, and the real culprit has yet to be found.

One wave hasn’t settled before another rises.

Things were going to be troublesome.

“Miss Mingyue, rest assured, we will definitely handle this matter properly.” He was furious and vowed solemnly.

“It better be so,” Ying Mingyue replied coldly.

The Demon Marshal looked around with a heavy heart and shouted, “Everyone present is not allowed to leave without permission. You will be prepared to follow us back for an investigation.”

“Rest assured, if you are innocent, we will release you soon enough.”

The Demonic Cultivators present all had grim expressions upon hearing this.

This was simply misfortune.

However, no matter how aggrieved they felt inside, no one dared to voice their objections at this moment.

…

On this side, Lu Qingshan stood still, eyes flickering, pondering something.

After a moment.

He suddenly moved, walking silently towards the VIP room deep within the Sen Luo Tower.

Lu Qingshan needed to verify something.

In the VIP room, it was supposed to be a Demonic Cultivator sent by the Ao Ren Demon Lord waiting for him to relay classified intelligence.

But now, with such a commotion, there wasn’t any reaction from the Demonic Cultivator in the VIP room.

It was very strange.

He already had some bad guesses rising in his mind.

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan had already pushed open the VIP room door.

The furnishings inside were much more elegant and refined compared to the outside.

A bundle of incense was slowly burning, filling the room with the scent of sandalwood.

However, after seeing the situation inside, Lu Qingshan’s expression involuntarily grew grim:

A Demonic Cultivator lay stiffly on the ground, his entire skin a poisoned blue-black color, unmistakably dead.

Seeing Lu Qingshan’s unusual expression, Ying Mingyue instinctively followed his steps and just happened to enter the room, seeing the scene with a glance, she couldn’t help but show a shocked expression.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

He was beginning to doubt the authenticity of the black jade from the Sen Luo King Realm, whether it truly came from the Ao Ren Demon Lord.

Was the so-called classified matter for discussion real, or just a facade?

The black jade indeed bore the mark of the Ao Ren Demon Lord, a mark that couldn’t be easily forged by anyone.

But the problem was, just because the black jade bore the Demon Lord’s mark didn’t mean it was personally issued by the Ao Ren Demon Lord.

This was the point Lu Qingshan had just figured out.

Was it related to Chi Pu and Diao Feng?

Lu Qingshan wasn’t sure.

However, he had a way to confirm.

It wouldn’t be too troublesome, just a message back to the Ao Ren Demon Lord to inquire about the situation.

“A meticulously premeditated assassination attempt, the mastermind behind it wields considerable power.” Lu Qingshan said coldly.

“Who could it be, Ying Jie?” Ying Mingyue speculated angrily.

“Most likely him,” Lu Qingshan said calmly, “On the surface, he has always targeted me. Additionally, he is the only one with enough reason to take such risks and act within the Royal City.”

“Moreover, he has the capability to mobilize a Demon Marshal against me.”

Beneath his calm demeanor lay boundless killing intent.

This time, if not for Ying Mingyue’s sudden appearance, he might have been caught off guard.

But this time, it wasn’t because he was careless nor because he was negligent. The most crucial reason was the attacker had disregarded the rules.

Under such circumstances, he could evade for a moment but not forever.

Assassination attempts were merely a matter of time.

Ying Mingyue nodded, “He is the most likely suspect.”

“He dare act so brazenly and harbors such deep hatred towards you.” Ying Mingyue gritted her teeth, “He actually intended to kill you. Father has repeatedly ordered to restrain them, yet he dared to act so recklessly?”

“We need to find evidence. As long as we can find evidence of Ying Jie’s involvement, at least he will be severely punished.” She said bitterly.

“It will be difficult to find any evidence.” Lu Qingshan looked at the deceased Demonic Cultivator lying on the ground, calculating inwardly.

This assassination plan was incredibly meticulous, and there were likely traces of his two “elder brothers” involved.

With such a meticulous action, finding evidence of Ying Jie’s involvement would not be easy.
