Chapter 2323: Chapter 2013: Yun Yudie’s Masterful Use of Borrowed Power to Kill

In the depths of the dense forest, several bursts of Deceitful Evil emanated an aura that left the surrounding Mysterious breathless.

Hearing the words of the Green Robe Deceit in front of him, the Tribulation Abyss Deceit King’s anger suddenly surged.

The next moment, his body also released a Deceitful Evil, transforming into countless Sword Evils, and immediately dismembered the Green Robe Deceit, whose body turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared.

The Tribulation Abyss Deceit King looked at the Blood Pupil Deceit King and said, "Blood Pupil, what do you plan to do next? Yun Yudie has already noticed our actions and is likely to send someone to stop us from continuing the town massacre. She might even come herself, which will affect our plans."

The Blood Pupil Deceit King said, "The Deceit Suppression Bureau has already sent people to the South. Currently, Dazhou’s Qi Fortune is still very strong, and we should avoid direct confrontation with the Deceit Suppression Bureau. In the next town massacres, we should target those remote cities to avoid being discovered by the Deceit Suppression Bureau."

The Blood Pupil Deceit King wasn’t afraid of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, mainly because their strength hadn’t yet recovered. If they engaged in a direct fight with the Deceit Suppression Bureau at this time, they wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Moreover, Dazhou’s Qi Fortune was still very strong. Even if they fully recovered their strength, their power would be suppressed by Dazhou’s Qi Fortune. Therefore, they needed to weaken Dazhou’s Qi Fortune as much as possible.

Only when Dazhou’s Qi Fortune declined to a certain extent would their strength be fully unleashed.

Just as the Blood Pupil Deceit King wanted to say something, a Mysterious suddenly rushed to them in a panic: "Lords, something bad has happened. The Deceit Suppression Bureau has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the four Deceit Kings were stunned.

How could the Deceit Suppression Bureau know they were here?

This place was very secluded, and their army of Evil Spirits was not here.

Even if the Deceit Suppression Bureau investigated the Qingshi City massacre, they could only trace the clues to the location of the Evil Spirits’ army. How did they find their way here? Something seemed off.

The Tribulation Abyss Deceit King said, "What’s going on with the Deceit Suppression Bureau? Could it be that there’s a traitor among us who leaked our whereabouts to them?"

The Blood Pupil Deceit King chuckled, "Yun Yudie’s plan to kill two birds with one stone is indeed clever."

The moment Yun Yudie’s emissary arrived, the Deceit Suppression Bureau followed suit.

Who else could betray them? It’s evident that Yun Yudie had revealed their whereabouts to the Deceit Suppression Bureau in advance.

Hearing the Blood Pupil Deceit King’s words, the other three Deceits were caught off guard.

The Silent Night Deceit King came to his senses, and the Ghostly Fiend on his body suddenly surged, "Yun Yudie, despite being a Mysterious herself, uses such despicable and shameless means against her own kind."

The Blood Pupil Deceit King mocked, "We considered her as one of us, but she never saw us as her own. If she did, why would she send that little Deceit to threaten us?"

Originally, they feed on blood, but Yun Yudie not only forbade them from feeding but also used humans against them. Is this what being kin means?

The Blood Pupil Deceit King’s gaze turned to the outskirts of the dense forest, sensing several powerful auras rapidly approaching their location in the Demon Cave Forest, then said, "It seems the Deceit Suppression Bureau has dispatched quite a few strong individuals this time. Now is not the time for a head-on clash with them. We must leave."

With that said, the Blood Pupil Deceit King transformed into a black mist and flew towards another direction of the Demon Cave Forest.

The Silent Night Ghost King and the other three Deceits said nothing more and followed the Blood Pupil Deceit King to leave the Demon Cave Forest.

By the time Fan Yaodong and his men arrived, only some residual Deceitful Evil remained in the Demon Cave Forest.

The Deceit Suppressing Guards quickly investigated the situation of the Demon Cave Forest, and after a while, they gathered again. Everyone came to a pit with a handprint, looked at the pit, and Wu Feng said, "It seems the letter was accurate. There were indeed Mysterious here earlier, and judging from the aura of the Deceitful Evil, the strength of the opposition is undoubtedly high, likely the Earth Realm Strange we are searching for."

After arriving in the South and just resting, Fan Yaodong received a letter at their inn, claiming that there were Earth Realm Stranges nearby.

So they hastened to the Demon Cave Forest, and although they found nothing, the residual Deceitful Evil in the air confirmed that the contents of the letter were true.

Initially, they suspected it was a trap, but even with concerns, they came nonetheless.

Xiong Qingcang crouched down, observing the handprint-shaped pit in front of him, and then said, "Could it be they had infighting? Judging by this handprint, there seemed to be a skirmish here."

Although the Mysterious could conceal their auras, traces of Deceitful Evil would always linger after a fight, and this handprint preserved a large amount of Deceitful Energy.

Looking at the handprint, Fan Yaodong fell into a deep thought.

Typically, after a Mysterious attack, Deceitful Evil aura remains. But in the outside of the Capital city, there were no traces of Deceitful Evil after the village massacre incidents. Could it be those incidents outside the Capital city weren’t orchestrated by these Earth Realm Stranges?

Wu Feng looked at the Pursuing Evil Disc in his hand, whose pointer was spinning wildly.

"These Mysterious show no intention of concealing their auras, and their modus operandi seems different from the Mysterious responsible for the Capital city village massacres."

Fan Yaodong snapped out of his thoughts, took a glance around the entire Demon Cave Forest, and said, "Report this matter to Prince Zhen Nan, and figure out where that letter originated from. The person who sent it to us, knowing there are Earth Realm Stranges here, is likely anything but ordinary."

...

In the inner courtyard of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Bai Qingqing sat in the pavilion by the lotus pond, her belly visibly enlarged, as she reviewed the Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s account books.

Over the past few months, her belly had grown significantly.

A few months ago, she would still occasionally leave the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, but since her belly expanded, she remained within the inner courtyard of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, not taking a single step outside.

Of course, even with the growing belly, she didn’t completely relinquish the affairs of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

Despite Ji Yunmeng having married into the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Bai Qingqing still managed the estate’s businesses.

At that moment, Ji Yunmeng’s silhouette appeared in the inner courtyard. She glanced at Bai Qingqing, a flicker of cold light passing in her eyes.

The child in Bai Qingqing’s belly posed a significant threat to her. If allowed to be born and if Lu Chen showed interest in imperial power, he might eventually hand over the throne to Bai Qingqing’s child.

In fact, ever since Ji Yunmeng learned of Bai Qingqing’s pregnancy with Lu Chen’s child, she had been contemplating how to cause her to miscarry.

Yet, for some reason, Bai Qingqing always seemed familiar, making it difficult for Ji Yunmeng to act.

Just as Ji Yunmeng was distracted, Bai Qingqing noticed her presence and immediately stood up from the stone bench, addressing Ji Yunmeng, "Greetings, Princess."

Ji Yunmeng came back to herself, replied indifferently, "No need for formalities."

She then directly approached the stone table in the pavilion, as Bai Qingqing said, "Princess, now that you have married into the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, the estate’s businesses ought to be under your management."
