Chapter 693: Chapter 671: If You Had Died Sooner, Perhaps This Land Would Be Much More Peaceful
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was taken aback for a moment.
One wave had yet to settle when another arose.
The strength of Tongzi Prefecture is no less than that of Lingxiu Country.
The son of the Mansion Master died here, and he died during the process of being recruited by the Eldest Prince of Lingxiu Country.
Even if Lingxiu Country was unaware, it’s difficult to extricate themselves from this affair.
Not far away, the face of the Lingxiu Sovereign became grim, and his eyes turned to the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince was even more flustered.
"Two seniors, I truly had no knowledge of this matter, and we were unaware that your son had arrived in Lingxiu Country.
Please, two seniors, investigate thoroughly and do not let the real killer escape."
Compared to the Third Prince’s accusation, this matter is even more likely to cause great trouble for the Eldest Prince.
The Third Prince beside him originally wanted to add fuel to the fire, but upon seeing how tense the situation was,
he swallowed back the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
At this moment, the Mansion Master of Tongzi Prefecture cast a cold glance around.
"Jin Pu communicated with his mother daily, discussing every matter with her.
The ins and outs of the matter are clear.
It was someone recruited by your Lingxiu Country, a person named Shen Han.
Harbored malicious intent towards my child and laid a vicious hand!"
Shen Han?
These two words suddenly seemed familiar to the Third Prince.
A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind; wasn’t this assassin named this under tonight’s plan?
"Two seniors, is the person you mentioned this person!
This person’s name is Shen Han.
And he was also recruited by my eldest Imperial brother, possibly acquainted with your son!"
As the Third Prince’s words fell, the two from Tongzi Prefecture looked towards him.
Then, they followed his pointed finger, looking at Shen Han.
At this moment, Shen Han still quietly watched their commotion.
Among the people who came here, the strongest were only at the 4th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm.
At the 6th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm, the Realm could barely equivalent to Third Grade of the Immortal Realm.
Not to mention that those cultivating the New Method were somewhat lacking in strength.
Shen Han felt no concern at all for these people.
"The person Pu’er talked about is him, it’s certainly him with this appearance!"
Seeing Shen Han, the expression on the face of the Lady of the Mansion from Tongzi Prefecture became more fierce.
"Isn’t this person also very skilled at stealth and lurking? My child was certainly the victim of his sinister and despicable means..."
At this point, the Lady of the Mansion was even choked up, unable to continue speaking.
Listening to these words, everyone seemed more convinced.
"This person is indeed extremely skilled in stealth assassination.
Tonight, we gathered here precisely because this person wanted to lay a vicious hand on my Lingxiu Country’s Third Prince."
The National Preceptor of Lingxiu Country spoke softly, turning Lingxiu Country into a victim as well through words.
In an instant, the Mansion Master from Tongzi Prefecture landed in the courtyard.
Stepping forward, his eyes tightly fixed on Shen Han.
"Why did you lay a hand on my child, who commanded you, speak!
If you dare conceal anything, I’ll tear your mouth apart."
The Mansion Master from Tongzi Prefecture believed his fierce manner could intimidate many people.
Everyone around seemed to be frightened.
But Shen Han only found it amusing.
"Your life won’t last much longer, cooperate and speak, it could spare you some torment, go ahead."
The National Preceptor of Lingxiu Country echoed nearby.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han remained indifferent and instead replied.
"Violated a married woman in front of her husband, such a heinous act caused outrage.
That Jin Pu was inhuman, heartless like a beast, dealing with him required only this reason.
Besides, he wanted to target me, his life was inevitably doomed."
Shen Han explained softly, without concealment.
This attitude angered the two from Tongzi Prefecture even more.
The Lady of the Mansion from Tongzi Prefecture coldly eyed Shen Han and spoke.
"You’re talking about that mortal couple from Ping City, aren’t you?
Those two have been captured by people sent by me, and their families have been slaughtered.
Because they caused my son’s tragic death, do you think they could live?
I’ll let them suffer at my child’s grave, then be buried as accompaniment.
And you, you will suffer the same fate."
After speaking, the Lady of the Mansion’s gaze turned again to the Lingxiu Sovereign.
"My child perished in your Lingxiu Country, and it involved your Eldest Prince.
I want him to perform the kneeling ritual at my son’s funeral.
Besides, that Ping City.
Everyone in the city must be buried with my son!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people of Lingxiu Country were taken aback.
They didn’t think much of the matter of Ping City’s people being buried as accompaniment.
But having the Eldest Prince perform the kneeling ritual, that poses a difficulty...
The Eldest Prince might inherit the position of Sovereign, this kneeling could forfeit the throne.
Beside them, who knows what kind of laughter the Third Prince held inside.
Seeing the Lingxiu Sovereign was still hesitant, the Jin Mansion Master from Tongzi Prefecture stepped forward.
"Lingxiu Sovereign, I advise you to listen to my wife’s words.
Her backing is not me, but her maternal family.
My wife is the youngest daughter of the Treasure Moon Palace Master, which means the Treasure Moon Palace Master is my child’s maternal grandfather."
As soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking officials of Lingxiu Country trembled.
Treasure Moon Palace!
"Since you are the grandson of the Treasure Moon Palace Master, our Lingxiu Country will cooperate wholeheartedly.
We deeply apologize for such events."
At the mere mention of the Treasure Moon Palace, the expression of the Lingxiu Sovereign changed.
This reaction alone revealed the immense power of the Treasure Moon Palace.
Even though the Lingxiu Country conceded, the face of the Lady of the Mansion remained grim.
"This and that can’t bring my son back to life..."
While speaking, the Lady of the Mansion reached out to hit the Mansion Master of Tongzi Prefecture.
"All your fault, saying our son must train on his own.
If we had assigned guards, how could he have encountered such a situation?
Those insects couldn’t possibly harm our son..."
Saying this, the Jin Mansion Master embraced his wife, the pair looked deeply affectionate.
"How about you two take action against Shen Han, to vent some anger?"
"Venting anger?
Slaughtering him a hundred times wouldn’t ease the rage in my heart.
No matter what we do to him, it won’t quench our anger..."
The Lady of the Mansion’s gaze was sinister, capturing Shen Han couldn’t ease her.
"Though it won’t resolve the anger, at least it might lessen it somewhat..."
Upon hearing these words, the Lady of the Mansion paused, then walked toward Shen Han.
The events of tonight grew increasingly complicated, no one expected the situation to turn this way.
The Lady of the Mansion stood before Shen Han, yet didn’t strike.
She initially wanted to say something.
But suddenly, Shen Han’s hands grasped her neck and lifted her directly!
The sudden scene frightened everyone.
They had lost count of how many times they were startled tonight.
"Stop! Let go immediately..."
The National Preceptor of Lingxiu Country shouted, but halfway through, he suddenly realized.
How could Shen Han possibly grasp the Lady of Tongzi Prefecture?
This Lady of the Mansion, as a Grotto Heaven Realm expert, shouldn’t have ended up like this...
Many people also came to their senses at this moment, seeing the scene before them felt surreal.
"Stop!"
Not far away, the Jin Mansion Master of Tongzi Prefecture shouted fiercely, then rushed towards Shen Han.
In a flash, a horrific Sword Shadow pierced through.
At the same time, the Lady of the Mansion held by Shen Han.
Her neck seemed crushed, her face bloodless, and her eyeballs protruding.
It seemed, her life was lost.
The Jin Mansion Master was also injured by this Sword Shadow.
He never expected Shen Han would casually release a Sword Shadow, injuring him.
The next moment, the Lady of the Mansion was thrown aside.
The one who had been crying about avenging her child, was thrown aside like a dead dog.
Previously, everyone thought Shen Han merely had some stealth skills.
But now they realized, stealth was just one of Shen Han’s techniques.
Moreover, Shen Han’s true strength seemed...
"My wife is the daughter of the Treasure Moon Palace Master, you dare to harm her, you will die!!"
By his side, the Mansion Master of Tongzi Prefecture seemed frightened, seeing his wife’s condition but not daring to attack Shen Han again.
Instead, using the Treasure Moon Palace’s name to threaten.
Yet his words were barely finished when a Sword Shadow pierced the Lady of the Mansion.
What might have been a slim chance now meant certain death.
The courtyard instantly fell silent.
In mere moments, the Lady of Tongzi Prefecture of Grotto Heaven Realm’s 1st Layer was dead.
Not only did Shen Han dare to strike, but also let her die before everyone’s eyes...
"Regardless of whether I die or not, she should die first."
Shen Han walked forward calmly a few steps.
The guards of Lingxiu Country by his side unconsciously stepped away.
Among those present, none were fools.
Once realizing, everyone had different guesses about Shen Han’s strength.
Casually causing a Grotto Heaven Realm’s 1st Layer expert’s demise.
This only indicated that Shen Han’s strength far surpassed Grotto Heaven Realm’s 1st Layer!
"Your son was a scum of the earth, and it seems his parents are similar.
And you wish for a city to be buried with him?
If you had died sooner, perhaps this world would be much more peaceful."
The Jin Mansion Master’s face was gloomy, incredibly stern.
He held a long spear in hand.
They understood, Shen Han was not ordinary, his power far exceeded that of his wife.
"Lingxiu Country, help me kill this villain, and afterwards, both my Tongzi Prefecture and Treasure Moon Palace will offer generous rewards!"
As his words ended, the National Preceptor of Lingxiu Country wielding a Zen Stick.
The two attacked Shen Han together.
Both at the 5th Layer of the Grotto Heaven Realm, possessing Fourth Grade Fruit Realm’s strength.
In this realm, the two were close to the top-tier experts.
Shen Han’s suddenly revealed strength shocked those present.
But seeing the Jin Mansion Master and the Lingxiu National Preceptor join forces, everyone thought the farce was over.
Feeling there was no suspense.
Just within three breaths.
The Lingxiu National Preceptor was pierced by a Sword Shadow, nailed to the ground...
While the Jin Mansion Master, had each of his hands and feet pierced by Sword Shadows, also nailed to the ground.
