Seeing the guards getting closer and closer, Zhao Pan made a crazy move. His body was filled with immortal light, and a celestial sword materialized. He then pounced on Fang Xiu.
The guards were immediately alarmed and tried to step forward to stop him, but Zhao Pan was too close to Fang Xiu and it was too late.
Just as the immortal sword was getting closer and closer to Fang Xiu's neck, at the critical moment, boom!
A silver dragon rushed over and crashed into Zhao Pan's right arm, instantly shattering his right arm and the immortal sword together.
Screams echoed throughout the hall.
At this moment, the silver dragon light dissipated, revealing a halberd.
Outside the door, General Qin, clad in silver armor, yawned as he walked in. He casually waved his hand, and the halberd transformed into a streak of light, flying back into his hand.
He glanced at Fang Xiu, who remained motionless, assuming the other was stunned by fear. A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes as he said indifferently, "No need for thanks, it's my duty."
After saying that, he turned and left amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, leaving behind only an unfathomable silhouette.
"Next." Fang Xiu remained calm, completely unaffected, still focused on fortune telling.
......
......
The Crown Prince's residence.
A tall, slender young man with a jade-like face, dressed in a prince's python robe, listened to his subordinate's report with a gloomy expression.
"Your Highness, we've already lost over thirty men to the Demon Suppression Division, and two more today. Although they were all insignificant figures, this is blatant provocation! That vile woman, Yun Yun, is now at the height of her power..."
Snap!
The Crown Prince slapped his subordinate across the face, his expression dark and gloomy: "How dare you call her a 'bitch'? No matter what, Yun Yun is still of royal blood. How dare you, a mere servant, insult royal blood?"
The subordinate was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me! I know I was wrong!"
"Hmph, remember this: if there's a next time, I, Your Highness, will make you wish you were dead!"
"Yes, yes, I will remember!"
"Go on, what happened to that bitch?"
"Well... Princess Yunyun is currently enjoying immense power, and her Demon Suppression Division is growing stronger. I am worried that she may pose a threat to you in the future. Therefore, I believe we should eliminate her before she becomes too powerful!"
The Crown Prince's gaze turned cold: "Do you know how serious a crime it is for members of the royal blood to kill each other? Once this is discovered, my reign as Crown Prince will be over. Wouldn't I be doing all this for someone else?"
"Your Highness, you misunderstand. I didn't mean to harm Princess Yunyun, but rather... Zhou Qingfeng!"
"Zhou Qingfeng?"
"That's right, it's Zhou Qingfeng, who is now known as the Living Yama. Your Highness, think about it, why can the Demon Suppression Division arrest and judge people in such a grand manner? It's because of Zhou Qingfeng. He uses the Heavenly Secrets Technique to deduce that most of the people he deduces will become demons. It is precisely because of his existence that people in the world believe that the Demon Suppression Division is really trying its best to eliminate the risk of demonic calamity and protect the people."
"And Princess Yunyun can use this opportunity to continuously eliminate dissidents. In my humble opinion, how could there possibly be a diviner in the world who can calculate so accurately? Even if there were, they would probably be at the level of an Immortal Emperor, not a True Immortal."
"Oh? You mean that Zhou Qingfeng's calculations were only half true, and that many other princes, including myself, were wrongly accused and killed because they were misled by the falsehoods?"
“Your Highness is brilliant, seeing through the key point at a glance. Now the power to determine who will fall into demonic possession is in Zhou Qingfeng’s hands. Naturally, whoever he says will fall into demonic possession will fall into demonic possession. And he is Yun Yun’s man, so as long as Zhou Qingfeng is killed, Yun Yun will be a toothless tiger, and the Demon Suppression Division will no longer be able to act under the guise of righteousness as before.”
"Then let's send Blue Moon."
"Your Highness, you mustn't."
The prince frowned: "Although Lan Yue's strength isn't top-tier, she's at least a Celestial Venerable. Killing a True Immortal is a piece of cake for her, isn't it?"
"Your Highness, I have received news that a demon is planning to kill Zhou Qingfeng. Therefore, Your Highness Yunyun has sent General Qin to protect Zhou Qingfeng. It will be difficult for Qiu Jiu to succeed on his own."
The prince looked thoughtful, then smiled slightly after a moment: "Then this matter is even simpler. Find a way to contact those demons and join forces with them. After it's done, we can completely pin the blame on the demons."
"Your Highness is wise!"
........
........
That night, the moon was bright but the stars were few, and dark clouds covered the sky.
Inside the Zhou residence, General Qin was drinking with his soldiers.
One of the soldiers said, "General, the Zhou residence is truly magnificent. I heard it was personally presented to Zhou Qingfeng by Princess Yunyun."
General Qin's eyes immediately turned cold, and he slammed his wine cup down on the stone table: "Hmph, he's just relying on the Heavenly Secrets Technique. In this world, strength is king."
A group of people quickly flattered him: "General, you are absolutely right. What good is being able to calculate accurately? He is just a mere True Immortal. Any Immortal Lord could easily kill him."
General Qin's expression softened slightly, and he was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and a hint of excited smile appeared on his lips: "They've finally arrived."
"What's here?" The subordinate was completely bewildered.
General Qin sneered and uttered two words: "Human Demon".
"I've been so bored lately, my bones are practically rusting! Soldiers, follow me and let's meet this demon!"
"It's the general!"
Everyone stood up abruptly and, led by General Qin, rushed towards the depths of the Zhou residence.
Sure enough, in the darkness of the night, a dozen or so figures were stealthily moving about.
