Chapter 23: The Third Prince And The Eldest Princess
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Following Elder Zheng’s death, a shrill cry rang out in the underground palace.
Coincidentally, Lin Cheng’an had wasted a lot of time.
When he returned to the underground palace, Su Mu caught up with him.
After sneaking into the underground palace, Su Mu controlled the little finger bone to kill that old man Zheng and then returned to his body.
At the same time, the flesh and blood on his body faded away, and he turned into a bloody skeleton!
It was time to kill!
…
This organization was quite strong.
There were more than ten first-rated warriors guarding the perimeter of the underground palace, and the rest were second-rate warriors.
However, in front of the Bloodfiend skeleton, numbers were not of much use.
There were many dark places in this underground palace, which were suitable for Su Mu to fight.
He would sometimes appear and sometimes hide in the darkness.
The guards were frightened and confused.
They had no idea where Su Mu would appear.
Every time Su Mu attacked, several lives were cut short!
After a few repeats of this, these guards lost their will to continue fighting!
In their eyes, Su Mu was an extremely terrifying demon that humans could not fight.
Almost everyone gave way to fear, crying and screaming as they fled in all directions.
These people in the underground palace were sabers in the hands of some powerful figure, stained with blood after taking the lives of countless innocents!
If Su Mu left any loose ends, he and Xu Congwu’s family would eventually die in the hands of these people.
Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue were almost beheaded.
Therefore, Su Mu showed no mercy to these minions.
They were all cut down, one by one!
…
As time passed, the cries grew more and more sporadic until they completely disappeared.
Outside the underground palace, there was only one living person left. It was Lin Cheng’an, who had “led the way” for Su Mu.
Su Mu returned to his human form.
Then, he slowly walked in front of Lin Cheng’an and looked down at him.
When he saw Su Mu walking out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, Lin Cheng’an’s mind completely collapsed!
He fell to the ground, his eyes dazed, as if he had been scared silly.
What on earth did he provoke?
The entire underground palace had been wiped out!
…
“Tell me, who are you?”
Su Mu coldly looked at Lin Cheng’an, and asked the same question.
He had asked this question when he first met Lin Cheng’an.
However, Su Mu had only killed two people at that time.
Even so, Lin Cheng’an had chosen to flee.
Su Mu was stepping over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His killing intent was so dense that it was almost tangible.
Lin Cheng’an’s skin prickled.
Most importantly, his mind had already been destroyed by Su Mu.
The same question, but different results.
This time, Lin Cheng’an didn’t flee. He didn’t even have the courage to resist.
He poured out everything he knew.
From his mouth, Su Mu learned part of the truth.
…
The owner of this underground palace was the Third Prince of Da Qian.
This hidden organization was called the Dark Hall.
They dirtied their hands for the third prince so that he would remain clean in the light.
Lin Cheng’an didn’t know what had implicated Xu Congwu and Su Mu, causing them to be sent to the death row.
He only knew that Dark Hall had sent out a name list today, asking them to exterminate the names listed.
Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue were among them.
…
After explaining everything he knew, Lin Cheng’an raised his head and looked at Su Mu with a pale face. He begged in a trembling voice, “Can… Can you let me live?”
Hearing this, Su Mu laughed.
“The many souls you’ve killed have asked you the same. You should remember the answer you gave them.”
As he spoke, Su Mu placed his hand on his head.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, Lin Cheng’an’s skull exploded in endless despair.
…
“The Third Prince, Li Hongxu …”
After wiping out all life in the facility, Su Mu coldly muttered a name.
The current battle for the throne was mainly between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
However, Su Mu barely remembered anything about the Third Prince. He only knew that this person was a ruthless character, but there was almost no specific information.
According to the current clues, this person had caused the two families to be sent to the death row. He also wanted to tie up loose ends with Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue.
Su Mu didn’t know what kind of scheme had caused them to be involved.
He didn’t want to know.
Right now, he only wanted to kill this prince!
Su Mu cast his gaze to the deeper levels of the underground palace.
He could sense that there were still some life forms inside.
Although it wasn’t much, their auras were many times stronger than the people outside!
These were the higher-ups of Dark Hall, or rather, the core members.
“Here I come!”
Su Mu’s eyes were cold as he strode into the depths of the underground palace.
※※※※※※
At that moment, in a secret room deep within the underground palace.
A gorgeous woman with exquisite facial features was tied to a chair.
Although she was tied up, the woman’s expression was calm. She looked at the people around her lazily, without the slightest panic.
Other than her, there were four other people in the secret room, and they all looked like “kidnappers”.
A short old man with a hunched back and a cat-like face.
A white-haired old woman was holding a walking stick, her eyes dark and ruthless.
A muscular man with his clothes open, his fur as thick as a bear’s.
The last person was a young man in green.
This person had an elegant demeanor and looked like a noble young master.
He was also the leader of the four.
The young man in green looked at the tied-up woman and said respectfully, “I had no choice but to invite you here, Eldest Princess. I hope you can forgive me!
“As long as you are willing to cooperate with my master, we will immediately kowtow and apologize to you.
“You can step on our bodies and leave if you want!”
The woman who had been kidnapped was the Eldest Princess of Da Qian, Li Lingfei!
One could only say that the Third Prince was indeed extremely daring!
Of course, he was not a reckless person.
As long as he didn’t appear at the scene, who would dare to say that he had kidnapped the Eldest Princess?
As for the dark hall, if something really happened, he could simply swap out the tool.
…
Li Lingfei glanced at the young man in green when she heard what he said. She replied indifferently, “Don’t waste your breath. If there’s anything, ask your master to come out and talk to me personally.
“Who the hell are you guys? How are you qualified to talk to me?”
These words made the four people’s faces turn somewhat ugly.
The white-haired old woman took a few steps forward and said in a gloomy voice.
“Little girl, do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this?!
“I’ve peeled no less than a hundred smooth and tender faces like yours!
“Do you want to try?”
Li Lingfei could not even be bothered to look at the old woman’s threat. She leaned back in her chair and said lazily, “Of course. That makes sense. Are you Third Brother’s dog, or an old dog?”
“You!”
The white-haired old woman was furious, and she was trembling slightly.
If it were not for her misgivings, she would have killed Li Lingfei right there and then.
When she gazed upon the face of the Eldest Princess of Da Qian, how different was she from that of an ordinary woman?!
