1248 Reason for the Assassination
Someone suddenly attemped an assassination, and the event location immediately became chaotic. The surrounding guards immediately rushed over, but no matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the person who assassinated Xue Fanxin.
Xue Fanxin had not expected to be assassinated in the Nine Nether Holy Land. Although it had happened suddenly, with her ability, it was more than enough to dodge this assassination.
The assassin had thought that he could easily kill a woman who was only in the Mystic King Realm. Unexpectedly, the other party’s movement technique was extremely fast and her skills were impressive. Not only did she dodge his unexpected attack, but she also had the ability to counterattack. She condensed several wooden vines with her spirit energy and entangled him.
When the assassin was entangled by Xue Fanxin’s vines, before he could break them, in a few blinks of the eye, the surrounding guards had already arrived. Even Chuge and Muyu had come. The assassination incident made them extremely angry. As soon as they reached the event location, they attacked and crippled the assassin.
“How dare you assassinate the Consort in the Nine Nether Holy Land. It looks like you’re really tired of living.”
“Tell me, who instructed you?”
“Since you’ve failed, feel free to kill or torture me.” The assassin still had some backbone. He would rather die than reveal any information.
At this moment, a guard from the Nine Nether Holy Land had already investigated the basic information of the assassin and came to report. “Your Highness, Young Master Chuge, Young Master Muyu, this person is called Li Yu. Ten years ago, he was chosen by Holy Envoy Duanmu to enter the Nine Nether Holy Land. He is now in charge of some internal affairs of the Holy Land.”
Hearing this basic news, Chuge and Muyu could already guess a little about Li Yu’s assassination of Xue Fanxin.
“You assassinated the Consort because of Duanmu Cun.”
When Li Yu saw that the matter had been exposed, he had nothing to hide. He glared at Xue Fanxin and roared, “So what if I am? Over the years, Holy Envoy Duanmu has always done his best for the Nine Nether Holy Land and served the Nether King, but the Nether King expelled him from the Nine Nether Holy Land for a small matter. What right do you have? Since the Nether King said that the Nine Nether Holy Land is not open to women, he heavily punished Duanmu Qian and vented his anger on Holy Envoy Duanmu. But why can this woman enter and leave the Nine Nether Holy Land at will? This is unfair to Holy Envoy Duanmu.”
“Duanmu Cun works for the Nine Nether Holy Land and serves the Nether King. Could it be that the Duanmu family hasn’t benefited from this? The Nine Nether Holy Land is the Nether King’s territory. The Nether King has the final say in everything here. If you want fairness, then search elsewhere. There’s none here. Pass down the order. Destroy the Duanmu family in three days.”
When Li Yu heard Muyu’s orders, he panicked and quickly argued, “It was my own idea to assassinate the Consort. It has nothing to do with the Duanmu family. You can’t do this.”
“How can you prove that this was your idea alone? Even if it was really your idea, you only assassinated the Consort for the Duanmu family, so the Duanmu family can’t escape the blame. Duanmu Cun was expelled from the Nine Nether Holy Land because he made a mistake, but he was only expelled from the Nine Nether Holy Land and didn’t receive any other punishment. From this, it can be seen that the Nether King is already very benevolent to him. However, because of your assassination, the Nether King will never keep Duanmu Cun and the Duanmu family alive,” Chuge mocked.
“No, you can’t treat Holy Envoy Duanmu like this. He’s a good person. Good people should be rewarded. You can’t do this.”
“No matter what kind of person Duanmu Cun is, good people or bad people, since he is involved in the matter of assassinating the consort, he must pay the price. Get Yinsha to prepare and go to the Duanmu family immediately…”
“Wait…”
