Chapter 1075: Chapter 664 The Identity of the Assassin (4K)_2

The Demon God’s Divine Sense examined the servant’s corpse.

Immediately, the Demon God’s expression changed: “It’s the Heavenly Court’s doing.”

“The Heavenly Court?!”

Whether it was the Qilin Holy Mountain, the Heavenly Fox Clan, or Lu Changsheng, everyone’s faces suddenly changed.

The Demon God determined it was the Heavenly Court!

“Impossible, the threat from the Demon Realm alone already has the Heavenly Court in a frenzy. The Heavenly Court has no reason to add another enemy. This is more likely someone framing them, I request the Demon God to scrutinize carefully to avoid falling into someone else’s trap.”

Lu Changsheng pondered over it but couldn’t find a reason for the Heavenly Court to assassinate the Demon Realm’s Divine Child.

The Heavenly Court is busy dealing with the Demon Realm’s Demon Lords, angering the Demon God now would be suicidal.

Although the Demon God found traces of the Heavenly Court’s methods controlling the servant’s body, it doesn’t necessarily mean it was the Heavenly Court’s doing.

Lu Changsheng still needed to argue with evidence, otherwise, if this sparked a war, Lu Changsheng would also be implicated, possibly even having to confront his disciples.

“You’re from the Human Race, naturally you’ll defend the Heavenly Court, various evidence already points to the Heavenly Court.”

The Demon God’s black and white pupils looked at Lu Changsheng, seeing through his essence.

Even the Heavenly Fox Clan’s Disguise Pill couldn’t fool such an existence as the Demon God.

The Demon God’s power is beyond doubt, far above other Demon Kings.

Indeed, he was discovered…

Even so, Lu Changsheng wanted to make one more plea: “The forces that assassinated your son wish for the Demon God to misjudge and incite conflict, please reconsider.”

“I only see evidence, no need for your chatter!”

The Demon God waved, a terrifying Nine Heavens Gang Wind struck, trees snapped, and Lu Changsheng took several steps back.

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, such an existence as the Demon God could end him with a mere finger.

The Demon God hadn’t indulged in a bloodbath but showed extreme restraint.

“A blood debt will be repaid in blood, I will not spare the murderer, vengeance will be a hundredfold.”

The Demon God flicked his sleeve, a demon wind rose again, and with the Qilin Holy Mountain crowd, disappeared from sight.

“How did this matter become linked to the Heavenly Court? Could it really be their doing? Such a possibility is extremely low. The Heavenly Court should also know what it means to assassinate the Demon Realm’s Divine Child; being discovered by the Demon God could lead to their extinction. It seems more like the war faction Demon Kings and Demon Realm’s Demon Lords framing them…”

“Yet with the Demon God’s discernment, recognizing the cultivation technique controlling Prince Wang’s servant came from the Heavenly Court, he definitely wouldn’t be mistaken. Then what is going on here?”

Lu Changsheng rubbed his temples, unable to fathom the connections.

All three factions have suspicions of assassinating Prince Wang.

Ji Su saw Lu Changsheng plunge into deep thought, then said: “The Demon God has reasons to suspect the Heavenly Court. It’s not entirely without motive.”

“Oh? What motive?”

Though Lu Changsheng argued for the Heavenly Court, he wasn’t part of it and wanted to hear Ji Su’s insights.

Ji Su, being a Great Power of the Longevity Immortal Realm from the Demon Race, naturally had greater knowledge of the factions than Lu Changsheng.

“The Demon God born on the Qilin Holy Mountain, whom you saw just now, is already a thorn in the Heavenly Court’s side. During the Ancient Celestial Court and the Ancient Demon God’s sensational war, five Great Human Emperors fell, and the Ancient Celestial Court suffered great losses. Hence, the Heavenly Court fears the birth of another such great existence among the Demon Race. Prince Wang possesses talents not inferior to the current Demon God, and with the Demon God’s guidance from childhood, he would surely surpass him. If the Heavenly Court had a motive, it would be to eliminate a potential threat…”

“Of course, this is just the Heavenly Court’s motive. I, like you, am more inclined to believe it’s a framing.”

Ji Su shared her reasoning for the motive but concluded only at that.

Although the Heavenly Court has motives to assassinate Prince Wang, the benefits to them are not substantial by the principle that the greatest benefit goes to the assassin.

Eliminating Prince Wang to invite the Demon God and possibly the entire Demon Race’s assault figures to be a bad deal.

“It seems only by finding the assassin or the mastermind can we uncover the truth.”

Lu Changsheng felt powerless as this matter was not something he could quickly resolve.

Much less about the mastermind, even dealing with the assassin who could kill Prince Wang was beyond Lu Changsheng’s reach.

The news of the Demon Realm’s Divine Child Prince Wang being assassinated spread across the Demon Realm, causing a sensation.

No one in various Demon Clan Tribes expected a force to dare risk the Demon God’s insane revenge to kill Prince Wang.

Assassinating an unripe junior is taboo across the Three Realms.

Which great faction doesn’t have a few genius juniors?

If factions sabotaged each other’s juniors, the Three Realms would have long descended into chaos.

With the Demon Realm’s Divine Child dead, the competition for the Divine Child position allowed Kui Phoenix Clan’s young sect leader Qi to smoothly take over.

Various war faction Demon Kings gathered at Qilin Holy Mountain, demanding the Demon God reconsider collaborating with the Demon Lords.

The tranquil Demon Realm was stirred and bustling because of the Demon Realm’s Divine Child being assassinated.

Lu Changsheng noticed the situation spiralling out of control, realizing it wasn’t something he could resolve, thus he planned to leave the Heavenly Fox Clan and return to the Ancient Su Family.

The war faction Demon Kings’ attention was absorbed by the Divine Child’s assassination; they gathered at Qilin Holy Mountain, losing interest in Lu Changsheng and retracting their surveillance, allowing Lu Changsheng to leave the Heavenly Fox Clan any time.

“I have a premonition that the Three Realms are approaching turmoil, and the Demon Race won’t escape it. However, our Heavenly Fox Clan will exercise restraint, hopefully, we won’t become enemies in the future.”

Ji Su knew Lu Changsheng planned to leave and didn’t try to retain him.

Lu Changsheng, as a Human Race cultivator, saw the war faction gaining ascendancy due to the Divine Child’s assassination, continuing to stay would be perilous. It’s best to leave quickly.

“Grandmother, I’ll escort Master out.”

Ji Xuan saw Lu Changsheng was leaving again and requested to personally escort Lu Changsheng out of Tu Mountain.

Ji Su sighed; with Prince Wang’s death, the nuptials between Tu Mountain and Qilin Holy Mountain were off, leaving nothing to consider.

Ji Xuan escorted all the way outside Tu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng activated the Void Boat, planning to leave Tu Mountain and return to the Ancient Su Family to seek guidance from Su Wudi.

Changes occurred across realms, catastrophe is looming, Lu Changsheng needed to elevate his strength as much as possible.

His own strength was the most dependable.

“Master, this farewell here, who knows how long before we’ll meet again.”

Ji Xuan touched her smooth fox tail, hinting at reluctance.

“The Demon Realm is turbulent; you must take care of yourself. You are my only disciple in the Demon Realm, causing me to worry quite a lot.”

“Master, rest assured, no matter what happens, your disciple will never become an enemy.”

Ji Xuan’s eyes were bright and resolute.

Even if the Demon God decides to ally with the Demon Realm’s Demon Lords, she wouldn’t betray her Master.

If her Master hadn’t rescued her from the Demon Suppression Tower, she might still be slumbering within it.

“I believe you.”

Just as Lu Changsheng spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he gripped the sword hilt in reverse.

Ji Xuan did the same, as a Demon Sword appeared in her hand.

“Master, have you noticed too?”

“Yes, it seems the assassin hasn’t gone far. No, it’s not just one assassin; there are two.”

Lu Changsheng surveyed the surroundings as their master-disciple pair were locked onto by two forces of killing intent.

These forces of killing intent were very likely from the assassins who killed Prince Wang.

The space began to collapse under the influence of their opponent’s Magical Treasure, forcefully transporting Lu Changsheng and Ji Xuan to another location.

“Not good, they realized they can’t strike near Tu Mountain, so they’re relocating us elsewhere.”

Lu Changsheng discerned their intention as their opponent’s Magical Treasure had already transferred their master-disciple pair to a desolate land.

“You’re smart, but unfortunately, today you’re bound to die.”

Two figures stood atop two peaks, coldly gazing at Lu Changsheng and his disciple.

They were now tens of thousands of miles away from Tu Mountain, making it difficult for the Heavenly Fox Clan’s Great Experts to locate them in a short time.

“Since my death is imminent, why not reveal your origins, lest I die without clarity.”

Lu Changsheng scrutinized these two cultivators who assassinated Prince Wang, both concealed with face masks and Magical Treasures that blocked their aura, showing no specific origins.

The two assassins exchanged glances and laughed heartily: “Fool, thinking you can trick us into revealing our origins? We’re professionals…”

“Are you from an assassin organization?”

Lu Changsheng perceptively caught the implication.

The two assassins turned pale.
