Chapter 125: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
A day ago, Miao Lanlan suspected that Xiao Liu was being chased and killed, so she immediately made a decision, returned to the prince's mansion, found the prince and explained the situation, and asked the prince to send someone to rescue him quickly.
The person who assassinated, even Miao Lanlan couldn't catch his figure even by chance, so it can be seen that he is definitely not a good-looking character.
"What did you say, someone would dare to assassinate someone in the Imperial City?"
When the prince heard this, he was very angry, because the person who was assassinated was none other than Xiaoliu, who he had just recently acquired.
This is a promising teenager, less than fourteen years old, who was able to stand out and win the championship of the Imperial Hunting Festival!
Although the people who participated in the hunting festival were only the top figures among some of the various forces, the competition was still extremely fierce.
This can be seen from the comparison between the number of participants at the beginning and the number of survivors at the end.
Therefore, the prince actually attaches great importance to Xiaoliu's subordinate in his heart.
As long as he is willing to cultivate resources, in a short period of time, it is not a problem to raise Xiao Liu's strength to a decisive level, how can he allow him to die at this time?!
So, the prince groaned slightly, and immediately waved his sleeves, attracting a large number of guests and subordinates of the prince's mansion, and began to search for Xiaoliu's traces in the imperial city on a large scale.
Miao Lanlan was anxious, and after reporting the situation, she naturally set off with those people to look for Xiaoliu separately.
When everyone had left, the prince looked around for a moment, and then suddenly spoke
"How's it going?
After his words fell, somewhere behind him, a figure suddenly appeared, this person had red messy hair, and his breath was extremely strong, and if he looked closely, he was wearing a hat and a tight black coat, which was very similar to the person who assassinated Xiaoliu!
If Miao Lanlan and Xiao Liu knew that the person who sent someone to assassinate him was the current prince, I don't know how they would feel.
As soon as this man appeared, he flipped his palm, took out a crystal crystal, and did not speak, but handed it to the prince.
The prince took the crystal, and a momentum that was a little stronger than the half-demon next to him suddenly rose on his body, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
In his mind, a video was slowly playing, and those images were exactly how Xiao Liu was assassinated!
In the picture, the red-haired half-demon followed all the way, and when he came to a place where no one would see him, he made a decisive move, and stabbed Xiao Liu in the back with a sharp sword, although Xiao Liu barely dodged a blow before, but this sword was extremely fast!
In the end, the long sword sank into Xiao Liuhou's heart, and seeing this, although the prince closed his eyes, he raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart
"Could it be that Xiao Liu, has that little six already been killed? Could it be that I misread him?"
At the beginning, Xiao Liu defeated four with one enemy, and killed three princes and four powerful subordinates, and he was full of spirit.
But in the end, he faced Yao Xuyuan's unexpected sneak attack, and in fact, he should have been at least hit hard.
However, at that critical juncture, Yao Xuyuan deviated from his attack trajectory, and then stood in the middle of the field, and in the end, he was easily killed by Xiao Liuyi's sword.
In that part of the battle, there was obviously something strange, and after much consideration, the prince felt that Xiaoliu should have a very powerful hole card that was not known to outsiders.
That hole card now seems to be very simple, and it can even reverse the victory and defeat at a critical moment!
After thinking about it, the prince felt that if he wanted to truly control Xiaoliu and let him obey his orders, then there must be a lot of secrets that he needed to know.
But Xiaoliu's hole card made him feel faintly uneasy.
For a person who can't fully understand, how can he rest assured that he knows his secret?!
Therefore, tonight's assassination, the prince actually made two preparations.
Or, let the red-haired half-demon test Xiao Liu's ability to press the bottom of the box and fully understand it.
Or, Xiao Liu's refusal to expose himself would rather die, and he was finally killed by him!
If a person refuses to reveal his hole cards even when facing life and death, then it means that he cannot be completely used by me.
In this case, death is death.
There are many geniuses in the world, and if they can't be used by me, they will be useless, and they may even become an obstacle to themselves!
This is the true thought of the prince!
He is a guy who will sacrifice anyone around him in order to achieve his goals.
In the imperial dynasty, there is by no means more than one person like him, but what he does is related to Xiaoliu's interests and life and death!
Because the prince needs to cover up the fact that he is the real murderer, after Miao Lanlan comes to report what happened, he will naturally be very angry.
In the picture recorded by the crystal, in the end, Xiaoliu was only injured and escaped, and the red-haired man's goal had been achieved, so he did not continue to chase and kill.
After reading everything, the prince's eyes opened again and he groaned slightly
"This light shield is indeed very powerful, and after that kid used the light shield, the strength of the whole person skyrocketed twice, reaching the level of the ninth level of the human immortal realm. Could it be that he borrowed this kind of power in the final battle of the Hunting Festival, thus interfering with Yao Xuyuan's attack?"
It's impossible to know for sure, but that's pretty much it.
From this point of view, Xiao Liu's body should have a treasure that can improve a lot of strength in a short period of time.
The prince felt that all the secrets on Xiaoliu's body had been dug up by him this time, and the result was quite satisfactory.
..........
While the prince was thinking about Xiaoliu's affairs, the outside world was already in a mess.
The people in the palace of the three princes inadvertently discovered that a large number of subordinates of the prince's mansion were looking for something in the imperial city, so someone immediately went back to report the situation.
When the third prince Donghuang Jun heard this, he said with a puzzled expression on his face
"What are they looking for? What is there to make such a big deal about?"
Although the third prince thought about it for a long time, it was obviously impossible to think that this was just an action taken by the prince to hide people's eyes, and it was impossible to know that Xiaoliu was assassinated by a half-demon sent by the prince, and his whereabouts were unknown.
"No, since they have sent so many people, what they are looking for must be very important to them! Whatever it is, I have to get it first!
At that moment, the three princes shouted loudly, recruited a large number of people in their own mansion, and instructed them to keep an eye on the group of people in the prince's mansion, figure out what they were looking for, and then at the critical moment, they could not come to ask for their lives, and directly fight for it.
To be able to compete with the crown prince, the power of the three princes is naturally very strong, so a large group of subordinates of the three princes also joined the search in a daze.
As for what they were looking for, even they themselves couldn't figure it out.
But this did not prevent them from stumbling on the people of the Prince's Mansion and causing them harm.
Because, they have all heard about the results of the hunting festival that just ended before.
Originally, the three princes won the championship steadily, but in the end, they were completely destroyed by a little-known boy.
This grudge, they are all counted on the people of the Prince's Mansion!
Originally, the two of them were opposites, but this large-scale dispatch quickly sparked a lot of sparks in the imperial city.
There are even people who have a short-hearted personality and choose to do it when they don't agree with each other.
There was a lot of friction in the city.
But Xiao Liu, who is the protagonist, didn't know about it at all, he knew that the person who came was coming for him, so he decisively ordered Miao Lanlan to go back alone, and he led the target away.
In his heart, as long as Miao Lanlan is fine, then everything is not very important.
At this time, after a day and a night of retreat and cultivation, he successfully used the Barrier Breaking Pill and the rhizome of the Demon Dragon Grass to break through the twofold realm in a row, reaching the fifth level of the human immortal realm.
Moreover, because of the breakthrough in cultivation, its divine soul was also upgraded.
Now that the power of his divine soul has reached the peak of the human immortal realm, he is only one step away from being able to touch the level of the earth immortal realm!
This is the peculiarity of the Illusion Demon Heavenly Codex, for cultivation, it may not be a peerless exercise, but for those who specialize in cultivating divine souls, it is a good thing that is hard to find in the world.
Xiao Liu had never been distracted to cultivate the Divine Soul at all, but the Divine Soul Realm was a full fourfold small realm higher than his own cultivation.
This result really made him cry and laugh when he was thirsty for strength.
"Don't underestimate the power of the Divine Soul. Now that your divine soul power has broken through to the ninth level of the human immortal realm, not only can you start cultivating some basic illusions. And when your soul enters the level of the Earth Immortal Realm, you can also feel the fluctuations of the earth veins in a special way in advance!"
"When the time comes, you will know how useful the power of the divine soul is!"
Hearing Mo Wu say this, Xiao Liu balanced a little, since it can be useful, it would be good, otherwise it would be a waste of such a high level of divine soul cultivation.
Finishing up and getting up, Xiao Liu felt the fluctuation of the yuan force on his body that was several times stronger, and he was excited, although there was still a gap between him and those masters, but judging from the current situation, as long as he didn't take action in person from the Earth Immortal Realm, and he cooperated with the fifth brother, he no longer needed to worry about his life's safety!
From the triple of the human immortal realm to the fifth level of the human immortal realm all of a sudden, the improvement he got in this day was too great, so big that even he himself couldn't figure out what level of his combat power was for the time being.
