"How could this be?"
You Lan frowned and could not help but ask.
"I don't know either."
Uncle Zheng shook his head and looked at the two princes who were still in shock in the corner. "Perhaps, they're the only ones who know the answer."
"I don't know, I don't know anything."
The prince of Great Xia's voice was still trembling.
Uncle Zheng's gaze was sharp as he hollered, "Your Highness, calm down! If you don't say anything and the two Imperial Advisors die for no reason, we might be the ones to die tomorrow! "
"Leave this place."
The prince of Great Shang seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving straw as he said hurriedly, "That's right, leave Qian Heaven City and you guys. I don't want to revive my dynasty anymore!"
With that said, the prince of Great Shang scrambled towards the door.
The prince of Great Xia reacted as well and followed closely behind.
Just as the two princes reached the door, Su Zimo walked in with a gentle expression and asked with a smile, "Your Highnesses, where do you want to go?"
The expressions of the two princes changed and their bodies trembled instinctively.
In their eyes, the green-robed cultivator's smile was like that of a fiendcelestial from Hell!
"W-We want to go back."
The prince of Great Xia had a fearful expression and pleaded with a hint of pleading in his voice.
Su Zimo said, "Don't. Didn't we agree yesterday that we're going to tour Qian Heaven City together today?"
The two princes were so scared that they were about to cry – how could they be in the mood to tour Qian Heaven City?!
Both of them knew that they were the ones who asked the two Imperial Advisors to assassinate Su Zimo.
But now, the two Imperial Advisors were dead but Su Zimo was safe and sound – this matter could not be clearer!
The smiling, cultured and scholarly cultivator before them was a fiendcelestial!
Now that the fiendcelestial was standing at the door and inviting the two of them to travel together, the two of them wanted to cry but no tears came out.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted to the two corpses in the room and he sighed gently. "What a pity that the two Imperial Advisors died just like that."
Uncle Zheng and You Lan's gazes were fixed on Su Zimo.
However, the two of them could not read any information from Su Zimo's face!
The only thing that was suspicious was that this person appeared too calm.
However, it was too arbitrary and illogical to conclude that the death of the two Imperial Advisors was related to this person based on his calm expression.
One had to know that the two Imperial Advisors were in the Dharma Characteristic realm.
As for Su Zimo and the others, they were all at the Void Reversion Realm!
There was a difference of a major cultivation realm between them. How was it possible to kill two Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords silently?
"Your Highness!"
Uncle Zheng's attention fell on the two princes again. He asked in a deep voice, "Did the two state preceptors go out last night?"
"Yes."
The two nodded obediently.
"Where did he go?" Uncle Zheng asked.
The two princes looked hesitant. They stole a glance at Su Zimo, not daring to say anything.
Uncle Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Did she go to Su Zimo's room?"
"I-I don't know,"
The prince of Great Xia shook his head hurriedly. "I fell asleep last night and didn't know anything. The moment I woke up, I-I saw that the state preceptors were dead!"
"Me too,"
The prince of Great Shang added hurriedly as well.
"Why did they go to my room?"
Su Zimo looked at the two princes and asked with a fake smile, "The two state preceptors can't be thinking of killing me, right?"
"N-No!"
The two princes denied hurriedly.
Su Zimo nodded and said casually, "That's good. Most people who want to kill me will die tragically."
The speaker did not mean it but the listener took it seriously.
Although Su Zimo said it casually, the two princes were scared out of their wits. Their faces were pale and they felt their legs go limp, almost kneeling on the ground.
You Lan's heart skipped a beat as well.
That was what Su Zimo said to her when she reminded him of the impending calamity last night – it was almost the exact same thing.
To think that the two state preceptors would die here in the wee hours of the morning!
Could this matter truly have nothing to do with him?
"I'll head out first. You guys deal with it. I still have to walk around the city later."
Su Zimo had just turned around when he paused in his tracks and glanced sideways. "Your Highnesses, you won't sneak away if you want to travel with me, right?"
"Definitely not!"
The two princes replied hurriedly.
"That's good,"
Su Zimo smiled in satisfaction and turned to leave.
By the time Su Zimo's figure disappeared completely, the two princes could no longer hold on and fell to the ground limply. Unknowingly, they were already drenched in sweat.
"It's him! It must be him!"
The prince of the Great Xia Dynasty trembled slightly as he mumbled repeatedly.
"Who is it?"
You Lan could not help but ask, "You mean to say that Brother Su was the one who killed the two state preceptors?"
The prince of Great Shang nodded repeatedly as well. "That's right, it's that demon!"
Instinctively, You Lan looked at Uncle Zheng. The words of the two princes were truly ridiculous. However, she still wanted to hear Uncle Zheng's speculation.
"My first thought was Su Zimo as well,"
Uncle Zheng said in a deep voice, "However, there's no way they were the ones who did this."
"What do you mean?"
You Lan asked.
Uncle Zheng pointed to the fatal wounds on the heads of the two state preceptors. "Two wounds that killed them in a single strike. This means that the two of them did not resist at all. In other words, the combat strength of this murderer is superior to the two state preceptors! "
You Lan nodded. "That's right. Even if Su Zimo and the others have the strength to kill the Dharma Daojun across major cultivation realms, it's impossible for them to kill the Dharma Daojun in a single strike."
"That's only one of the reasons,"
Uncle Zheng said, "Looking at the two wounds, it's clear that they weren't man-made or left behind by any weapon."
As he said that, Uncle Zheng placed his palm on the head of one of the state preceptors and said in a deep voice, "This should be the claw of some fiend demon. There's still a wisp of demonic qi on it!"
"As for Su Zimo's group of four, only the lion is a demon. However, his strength is not at that realm. Furthermore, the lion's claw is completely different from this wound. "
You Lan nodded – this was almost ironclad evidence!
However, she did not expect that there was a terrifying existence among Su Zimo's group of four that could even hide from the Demon Revealing Mirror!
It was impossible for Uncle Zheng to see through Night Spirit's facade!
You Lan looked at the two princes and said, "Did you guys hear that? This can't be done by Brother Su."
"It's him!"
The prince of Great Xia seemed to be possessed and the fear in his eyes had yet to dissipate as he said repeatedly, "It must be him! His smile and gaze are telling me that he was the one who killed the state preceptor! "
"Hais."
You Lan sighed.
After this shock, the two of them were no longer in their right minds.
Now that the two princes were reduced to such a state, they might have to live in fear every day – it was even more painful than killing them.
The two princes were indeed scared out of their wits.
However, their guesses were very close to the truth!
They were not as calm and rational as Uncle Zheng and You Lan who could deduce many conclusions based on some clues.
They only had one-track minds.
Two state preceptors went to kill Su Zimo. The state preceptors were dead but Su Zimo was still alive.
This was done by Su Zimo!
