Chapter 627: Chasing the murderer at midnight, not quiet and impure
Jiang Chen followed the tracks, and after climbing the steps for a few miles, he turned a corner from a fork and folded into a lush green bamboo forest.
Walking along the forest path, after a short time, I saw a secluded hut, and a figure stood in front of it, looking at this side with his hands in his hands.
'Is that him?' ’
Seeing the man's face clearly, Jiang Chen was stunned in his heart - he didn't think that this person would make a rebellious act of killing his mother, but the problem was that in Jiang Chen's impression, he seemed to be far from having this ability, right?
The bamboo hut shaded by verdant foliage emits a faint turquoise halo in the dimness, with a hint of herbal aroma.
The man stood in front of the bamboo house, wearing only a thin silk shirt, but his demeanor and demeanor had a lofty and noble air, but because of the serious injury, there was still a little wilting between his eyebrows and eyes.
As the distance approached, the man's face suddenly became extremely ugly when he recognized Jiang Chen's identity.
Jiang Chen walked along the forest path, his eyes met him, and he greeted lightly: "Third son, good evening." ”
The third son, who was originally Yuanyu Yuezhi, looked extremely unnatural under Jiang Chen's gaze, and even his posture seemed to be a little less royal bearing.
It's no wonder that the reason why he is hiding in this secluded place to recuperate from his injuries now is because of the person in front of him, and it is probably not easy for him to put on the majesty of a prince in front of Jiang Chen again.
"You...... Did you come for me? Many thoughts instantly turned in the third son's mind, and he touched his waist with a solemn expression.
It's a pity that he didn't wear a sword, so he touched the air, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead.
Seeing him so embarrassed, Jiang Chen had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, I'm just passing by here, not looking for you." However, I am also very pleased to see that your demeanor is still the same. You're recovering well, aren't you? ”
"It's fine." The third prince still has the expression of facing a great enemy.
"Yesterday the situation was urgent, and I had no choice but to do it, so I shot harder, I hope you don't take it to heart. You and I don't have a grudge, it's just because of the difference in position that I have to draw a sword against each other, in fact, I still appreciate you as a person, maybe one day you can become friends, do you say? ”
Under his smiling gaze, the third prince only felt that his scalp was numb, and nodded stiffly: "Yes, we didn't have any deep grudges, but in fact, it was all a misunderstanding......
Seeing him say this, Jiang Chen bowed his head with relief: "Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, we can also let go of our hearts." You don't need to be nervous at all, I'm here for another person, just in time to ask you for advice - have you seen anyone else pass by here in an hour? ”
"Nope."
"Then you're lucky......"
The aftermath dissipated, and Jiang Chen's figure also disappeared.
The third prince took a long breath, took two steps back, leaned against the bamboo wall to stabilize his body, settled down, and suddenly shouted: "Ah Zhu." ”
A slender figure emerges from the shadows. "What do you command?"
"There may be an accident in the palace, you go and investigate, go back quickly."
"Yes."
The third prince leaned against the wall, recalling the answer just now, his right hand holding the wooden pillar was suddenly clenched, and his expression was condensed and killed: "Hehe! Misunderstand? ”
But thinking about it, the killing intent in his eyes quickly dissipated, replaced by another color of horror, and in the bleak cold wind, a cold sweat gradually oozed from his back.
The third son, Ye Hua, probably has nothing to do with this matter. This is the conclusion Jiang Chen has reached.
The traces in the space did not stop there, and he continued to trace the past, coming to a rock that stood straight up.
The trail goes up from the cliff to an unknown place high in the sky, perhaps even above the clouds.
Jiang Chen looked up at the deep night, and all he felt in his heart was a cold mockery.
- The man flew away.
Sure enough, it's a real human immortal!
Jiang Chen can also stay in the air for a short time, but it is absolutely impossible to climb tens of thousands of zhang high with the void, and in the face of this situation, he can only sigh with hope.
In the vibration of the hunting clothes, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, sighed, turned around and turned back.
When he passed by the bamboo house, he saw Ye Hua still standing in front of the house, looking like a lonely and sad poet.
When Jiang Chen walked over, he heard him say in a low voice: "The queen mother has collapsed?" ”
"That should be good news for you, right?" Jiang Chen asked rhetorically.
"Two days ago, perhaps." Compared with the past, the third prince's face at this time was a little depressed and sad, and I don't know how much it was out of sincerity, "Panlong Palace can't be without an owner for a day, the queen mother admired you the most when she was alive, do you have any plans?" ”
Jiang Chen was stunned: "Admire me the most?" Where does this begin? ”
"She gave you the Vermilion Bird Treasure Jade, and this is the proof."
Jiang Chen smiled puzzled: "That piece of Vermilion Bird Treasure ......"
The third prince saw his doubts and said: "It is the transfer order of the Vermilion Bird Legion two hundred years ago, which is equivalent to the tiger talisman in your world, and then the Vermilion Bird Legion was destroyed, and the father gave it to the queen mother for self-defense, but we people in the demon world think that this is still a military power token, although the holder of this jade cannot directly transfer troops and send generals, but he can divide one side, recruit troops and horses, and rule the demons!" In the past hundred years, there have been endless wars, and most of the royal tokens have been lost, and this token is probably one of the few pieces......"
Jiang Chen said: "I don't think those big and small demon kings don't have any tokens, so they can still dominate the mountain as the king?" ”
"It's just a rabble." The third prince smiled contemptuously, "Now that the queen mother has passed away, Zhong Likong has the name of the demon saint, but he is always a little worse." Only you, if you marry the fourth sister and then hold this token, you can be called the Demon Emperor Orthodox, and you will rule the Panlong Palace. ”
"Isn't there still you?" Jiang Chen's gaze glanced at his face casually, "Su'er doesn't have the blood of the Demon Emperor, it is difficult to convince the public, only you are the rightful Demon Emperor." ”
The third prince felt a pang in his heart, and said solemnly: "But I have been defeated by you, and I have no power to fight back, so I am convinced." It's up to you to be the master of Panlong Palace, I'm the first to approve! ”
"But I'm a human after all. You can't accept the rule of a human, can you? ”
"You have crossed the tribulation of immortals, you can be called a sage, and there is no difference between sages and shemales." The third prince observed the expression on his face and said, "What's more, I, the fourth sister, and the eighth brother all support you, and no one dares to gossip!" ”
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Such a big thing came so suddenly, it's hard to accept it all of a sudden......"
"It's okay, there are three resignations and three concessions in the world, and our demon clan also pays attention to this, the first time you always have to refuse, you can think about it slowly."
"I'm a homeless prodigal son, and I really didn't want to be the master of Panlong Palace." Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "Then what about you, are you really willing to give up the position that originally belonged to you?" Or do you want it...... Is it the entire demon world? ”
The third prince's heart tightened, knowing that this sentence was the focus of this conversation, he considered the sentence for a while, and said with a solemn face: "In the next ......"
However, before he could answer, Jiang Chen had already waved his hand and said, "The body of the demon queen is not cold, and it is too disrespectful to say this now." ”
Looking at his departing figure, the look in the eyes of the third prince flickered. He chewed carefully on the conversation just now, and couldn't figure out whether Jiang Chen was just talking casually, or with a bit of seriousness?
It was late at night, but Panlong Palace was not peaceful.
When Jiang Chen returned to the Demon Queen's Bedroom, there had already gathered more people, and the noise could be heard clearly for miles.
Although Wen Sheng and others were maintaining order, and the thirty-six guards forbade everyone to approach the scene, more and more people gathered outside, surrounding the dormitory three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be passed.
It seems that with the death of the demon queen, the strict rules she established during her lifetime have also collapsed, and no one cares about those respectful and humble rituals anymore.
Panlong Palace has lost its backbone, and no one can control the situation anymore, from the eunuchs and eunuchs to the guards and palace maids, no matter how humble and polite they are on weekdays, after learning of the death of the demon queen, they have all become part of the chaos.
"Niangniang saw you in the spirit of heaven so unorthodox, I don't know what to be angry about......"
"If Niangniang knows something, she must hope that we will avenge her!"
"No! Absolutely not! How could Niangniang's body be desecrated by this kind of evil magic! ”
"Stubborn!"
"There must be another way......"
Jiang Chen stayed outside for a while and heard the reason for the dispute.
Some people want to use the soul summoning spell to inject the remnant soul of the demon queen into the corpse to ask about the identity of the murderer, but this evil spell is also regarded as taboo within the demon clan, and it is naturally spurned by many people.
One faction thinks that it is more important to track down the murderer, and the other faction feels that the mother's sleep should not be disturbed, and they quarrel with each other. Even within the Thirty-Six Guards, they could not reach an agreement.
Jiang Chen secretly thought that if he continued like this for 10,000 years, he would not be able to squeeze in for a while, so he stayed outside and silently searched for Yun Su's breath. He was really a little worried about Yun Su.
But it backfired, and his divine sense swept the palace three times, but found nothing.
He suspected that Yun Su might have hidden it on purpose, and in this chaotic occasion, if she had the intention to hide it with her skills, I am afraid that no one would be able to find her...... What is she doing now? Is a person wiping tears in the corner?
Just as he was concentrating, a sudden awe-inspiring coldness suddenly appeared in his consciousness, and his heart was startled, and he looked around, and the killing intent surged—right in this dormitory—very close to him—as if a strange aura was secretly watching!
'The assassin didn't leave? ’
This possibility flashed in Jiang Chen's mind for a moment, and it was immediately rejected.
The traces that spread all the way to the depths of the void would not be fake, and at this time, about an hour had passed since the death of the demon queen, and even if the assassin was so courageous, it was impossible for him to risk being besieged by the three martial saints to stay here.
So what is that breath that is secretly watching me?
Jiang Chen restrained his breath, pretending to inadvertently move a little closer to the source, and suddenly heard a hint of a bell.
When he suddenly looked back, he saw a layer of mist in front of him, pure white and thin, almost transparent, out of place with the loud scene around him, but he didn't know where it came from.
'Is it a fantasy?' Did he shoot at me? ’
Jiang Chen glanced around with his spare eyes and found that people were unaware of the white mist of the bell, and were still arguing indignantly about something.
This scene made him more and more vigilant - being able to perform illusions in front of everyone, and making Wen Sheng, Lingxuan and other top masters not notice at all, only leading me into the illusion shows that this person must be a master of the tenth-order "Great Awakening" realm, perhaps far beyond Lin Xi's level!
The fog gradually turned thick.
Following the direction from which the bell came, Jiang Chen stared at it, and saw that a faint figure gradually appeared in the misty place of white mist.
Jiang Chen frowned, squeezed into the crowd, and took two steps forward, so that the figure was even more obvious, and even a clear outline could be seen - it was a woman.
This person did not hide his appearance at all, and appeared in front of me so openly, either he was extremely confident, then just like the Lord of the Green Hades Temple, he was only sent by an illusion. ’
Thinking about it, Jiang Chen watched the woman's figure slowly walking, the hookah flowed, accompanied by light clouds, walking in the light mist, the long skirt swaying, although he still couldn't see the face clearly, but the demeanor of Ling Bo's slight steps seamlessly penetrated into the charm of the surrounding mist, which made people can't help but be caught in their minds.
With the trembling of the bell, that face was finally revealed in front of Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen's brain was shocked, at this time, he should have been the most vigilant, he even stopped breathing-
"Su'er?"
With a mutter, Jiang Chen involuntarily leaned closer.
Isn't that clean and beautiful face the Yun Su he was still concerned about?
But when he saw it a second time, he suddenly noticed a difference.
- Not Yunsu!
Although the appearance is nine points similar, the charm inside is different.
This face is a little more graceful and majestic than Yun Su, a little less soft and playful, and there is no arrogance in the beauty, as if he is contemptuous of all the mundane in the world.
Jiang Chen gasped and finally recognized her identity - wasn't this the demon queen when she was young?
