Chapter 784 Mastermind
Chu Zhiyuan turned around and walked back.

Fu Zheng hurriedly followed and looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

“What’s the excitement?”

“…”

Chu Zhiyuan said no more.

He didn’t want Fu Zheng to discover his supersensory abilities.

He took a step forward and in an instant covered about ten feet, with incredible speed.

There was no fluctuation in his aura, as if he was walking normally, without using any lightness skills.

Fu Zheng hurriedly used his lightness skills to catch up.

They moved freely among the crowd like fish, and soon covered a hundred meters and then went around to an alley.

Fu Zheng became more and more curious.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Among the two who escaped from here, one was a demon who used the method of taking over another’s body.”

“Demon?!” Fu Zheng’s face changed slightly.

Although they both have the word “demon”, the Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demon are completely different.

They also hate the demons very much.

“See if we can catch him.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “If not, kill him.”

“This time, the assassination of Lord Xiao Ming was actually done by the demon?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

“Why does the devil want to kill Lord Xiao Ming?” Fu Zheng was puzzled.

Lord Xiao Ming’s main enemies should be the Yujing Dynasty and the Yuanzhen Dynasty.

Lord Xiao Ming is mainly in the army and has nothing to do with the demons or monsters.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

He was also curious as to why Tianmo wanted to assassinate Lord Xiao Ming. Was it because he was going to a battlefield outside the domain, or because he was a Venerable?
Or some other reason?
But since we have seen the demon, we naturally cannot let it go.

This is the best resource for cultivation, and the soul is a great tonic for oneself.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, I am considered a gentleman who repays evil with kindness.

It’s really hard to say whether it’s good or bad.

The two stopped at the entrance of the alley and saw two middle-aged men in gray robes rushing out.

Just as they were about to collide with Chu Zhiyuan and Fu Zheng, they swung their swords and stabbed them.

A flash of cold lightning appeared, and the sword light flashed sharply, rushing straight to the center of Chu Zhiyuan and Fu Zheng’s eyebrows.

Chu Zhiyuan slapped out with one palm.

The palm print was as big as his palm, with clear textures, and it seemed that five small dragons were clustered together in the palm of his hand.

“boom!”

He used his palm to knock the sword away.

“Ding……”

The tip of Fu Zheng’s sword collided with the tip of the sword of the middle-aged man in gray robe.

After Chu Zhiyuan’s third transformation, the power of the Heavenly Dragon Palm increased, and he had already mastered the fifth form.

The power became more and more amazing, and the brute force directly knocked the sword away.

The long sword made a buzzing sound as it flew across the air, but it could not dispel the condensed and undispersed palm power.

He slapped the middle-aged man in gray robe who was unarmed again.

The middle-aged man in gray robe snorted and dodged, not wanting to confront him head-on.

But his eyes blurred and he thought he had avoided it, but was still hit in the chest by Chu Zhiyuan.

It was like a sword piercing straight into the heart.

His eyes suddenly went dark, and he tried to use his internal energy but failed, and instantly fainted.

Chu Zhiyuan slapped his brow again.

“Boom!”

The force of the Dragon Palm has strong penetrating power, which can penetrate the skull and shatter the brain, making a sound like a bursting watermelon.

The middle-aged man in gray robe fell to the ground limply, and blood began to flow out of his seven orifices.

A colorful soul light is about to leave.

Chu Zhiyuan let it leave his body and concentrated on the sun in his mind.

The Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror suddenly lit up, shining through his eyes at the colorful soul.

When it was mid-air, it suddenly turned, entered his mind, and flew directly into the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This is the power of the Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror. It is almost impossible for the demon soul to escape from it.

The Haoyang Demon-Subduing Mirror quickly decomposed and purified the colorful soul.

After a few breaths, the pure soul light had merged into his soul, making him feel refreshed, like drinking sweet rain.

Fu Zheng stabbed another middle-aged man in a gray robe in the right shoulder, causing his sword to fall to the ground.

She suddenly stepped forward and sealed the acupoints of the middle-aged man in gray robe.

These two people have achieved the perfection of artistic conception, but they are not venerable ones.

It is really risky to assassinate Fan Yaohui with such skills.

He launched a sudden attack and then immediately escaped, not giving Fan Yaohui a chance to react.

After taking over another’s body, the devil will have some strange abilities, making it easier for him to escape.

“Your Highness, how should we deal with this man?”

“Leave it to the princess.”

“Why not give it to Lord Xiao Ming?” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Why should I give it to him?”

“This…” Fu Zheng was stunned.

She thought it should be handed over to Marquis Xiao Ming, after all, he was the assassin who killed Marquis Xiao Ming.

But Chu Zhiyuan’s decision was to hand it over to Princess Li Miaotan, which surprised her.

Immediately start thinking about the purpose of doing this.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Send him back first.”

Among the four groups of people who escaped separately, only this group had the devil.

He was too lazy to chase after the others.

“Yes.” Fu Zheng agreed readily: “Then I’ll go now.”

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Fu Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with blood gushing out of his seven orifices and died, bent down and picked him up, then picked up the middle-aged man in gray robe whose acupoints had been sealed, and floated away.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Fu Zheng is becoming more rigorous and careful in his work, so there’s no need for me to give her more instructions.

After Fu Zheng left, he turned right, walked through the alley, and appeared on the street.

There were no signs of fighting on the street at this time, only the sound of people talking.

Lord Xiao Ming had a great reputation in the imperial city, and many people knew him and recognized him.

People were discussing who wanted to kill Lord Xiao Ming, was it the Yujing Dynasty or the Yuanzhen Dynasty?

After thinking about it, it is most likely the Yujing Dynasty.

Because they were afraid that Lord Xiao Ming would ruin the marriage, they wanted to get rid of him.

What’s more, Lord Xiao Ming was invincible in the army, winning countless battles, and had been regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Yujing Dynasty and the Yuanzhen Dynasty.

Take the opportunity to get rid of him and kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing this, Chu Zhiyuan could only shake his head and was unable to refute it.

There is indeed such a possibility.

Of course, it could also be the Yuanzhen Dynasty. It would be hard for anyone to think that the demons were causing trouble.

He came to a restaurant, went to the third floor, and gently knocked on the door of a private room.

There were three long knocks, two short knocks, and then two long knocks.

“Come in.” A majestic voice came from inside.

Chu Zhiyuan pushed the door open, turned around and closed it, then clasped his fists towards the old man sitting by the window: “Uncle Jiu.”

Chu Hongwei has become an old man with white beard and eyebrows, white hair and a youthful face.

He was wearing a brocade robe and one could tell at first glance that he was a wealthy man with a smile on his face.

“sit.”

“Yes.”

“…He really became a Venerable?!” Chu Hongwei looked Chu Zhiyuan up and down, amazed.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

“Haha…” Chu Hongwei stroked his silver beard and laughed, “Good, good, this is really cause for celebration.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “It may be of some use to my current situation, right?”

“Of course.” Chu Hongwei said, “A venerable is above ordinary people, so they are two levels apart… From now on, they will no longer dare to look down on you.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “I hope so.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to use all these methods anymore.” Chu Hongwei said, “Just be a consort to the emperor.”

“The wedding…”

“Chu’er will personally bring people from the Ministry of Rites to prepare, and will be here in two days.”

“Who’s coming?”

“Among the princes, there is only Chu’er. Your eighteenth uncle from the previous generation should be here.”

“Uncle Jiu, don’t let Chu Qiao and Chu Zhen come over.”

“Um–?”

“I’m afraid that things won’t be peaceful then.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “The demons and monsters will inevitably go crazy.”

“What news did you receive?”

“It’s better to be prepared.” Chu Zhiyuan then talked about what happened today.

Chu Hongwei snorted, “This bastard Xiao Ming Hou Ye is not dead, he is lucky!”

He then said: “Why bother saving him? It would be better to just watch him die!”

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, “The Phoenix Dynasty probably directly suspected that our Yujing Dynasty wanted to get rid of him, and it was me who did it.”

“…That’s right.” Chu Hongwei snorted, “It’s a pity that the evil is hard to kill.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “We can’t fight with the Phoenix Dynasty for the time being.”

“There will always be a fight. He is a nuisance and should be eliminated.”

“Let’s find an opportunity.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “Uncle Jiu, who spread the rumor that Lord Xiao Ming wanted to challenge me?”

Chu Hongwei snorted, “I just happened to run into him. He’s from the Yuanzhen Dynasty!”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: “It’s them.”

“They love to scheme and plot. If it weren’t for coincidence, we wouldn’t have discovered it.”

“Isn’t it intentional for you to see it?”

“No.” Chu Hongwei was very sure: “It is indeed the Yuanzhen Dynasty.”

“Yuanzhen Dynasty…” Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Phoenix Imperial City is really complicated. In addition to the spies of the Yujing Dynasty, there are also those of the Yuanzhen Dynasty, other small countries, and even demons and monsters.
