The Assassin's Identity (4K)

On the rocky cliff, a man with long black and white hair lay dead, his eyes vacant, his heart pierced by his own sword.

Golden Qilin Blood flowed across the ground, the divine radiance within Qilin Blood still lingering, its golden luster flowing.

The Divine Son of the Yao Realm died so inexplicably.

Young Master Wang also died near the territory of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan.

"This is troublesome."

Lu Changsheng realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Demon Race's Divine Son is no ordinary person; this matter is no less significant than the assassination of a crown Crown Prince, and the ensuing turmoil is immeasurable.

"This is... the aura of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe..."

At the scene of the assassination of the Demon Race's Divine Son, Lu Changsheng discovered the assassin's residual aura, which turned out to be that of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe.

"Could it be that this was done by the pro-war Demon King? Or is it a frame-up?"

Lu Changsheng became increasingly aware of the strangeness of the matter.

Which faction killed Young Master Wang?

"Hmm..."

Ji Su and several members of the Heavenly Fox Clan arrived quickly, and they were all horrified when they saw the murdered Young Master Wang.

Soon, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan arrived one after another, including the clan leader and Grand Supreme Elders.

Clan Chief Ji Ning used his great Divine Ability to try to trace back through Spacetime, track down the murderer, and give Qilin Sacred Mountain an explanation.

However, Spacetime violently trembled, revealing a blank space.

Ji Ning Liu Mei, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is a trap set by the enemy that they are determined to kill; they have already eliminated all clues as much as possible.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan wanted to investigate, but they had no way of finding out.

"The only clue is a lingering aura left behind from the hasty escape. It appears to be the aura of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe. The assassin is either from the Demon Realm or the Immortal Realm."

Ji Ning also keenly noticed the flaws left by the assassin at the scene and looked at Lu Changsheng.

The fact that such an event happened during Lu Changsheng's visit makes it hard not to suspect something.

Lu Changsheng reasoned, "At the Myriad Races Conference, I overruled the objections of others and advocated for peace. I have no reason to collude with others to kill Young Master Wang and provoke conflict, which would contradict my original intentions. From a motivational standpoint, the motives of the pro-war Demon King are far more obvious. As for the lingering aura of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, it might have been left by King Yama-Rank Killer hired by the pro-war Demon King."

"What you say makes sense. There are too many possibilities, making it impossible to investigate."

Ji Ning rubbed his forehead in exasperation. With Young Master Wang gone, things only got more complicated afterward.

"Go to Qilin Sacred Mountain and bring this obituary. Although this matter Non-Self Heavenly Fox Clan, it did happen near Tushan, and our Heavenly Fox Clan is willing to provide Qilin Sacred Mountain with some compensation."

Ji Ning summoned an Elder and asked her to inform the Demon God of Qilin Sacred Mountain.

This matter cannot be concealed no matter what, and it wasn't done by the Heavenly Fox Clan. As for how the Demon God will deal with it, that's the Demon God's business.

"What I'm worried about is that if the Demon God, grieving the loss of his child, blames the Immortal Realm and chooses to wage war against the Immortal Realm, then things will be very bad."

Lu Changsheng was in a real bind.

Logically speaking, such a momentous event as the war Three Realms should not concern a nobody like him, but he happened to be involved. If not handled properly, the Immortal Realm will be reduced to Purgatory.

"Master, there's no need to worry too much. I believe that with the Demon God's wisdom, he should be able to see through the truth and will not easily start a war."

Seeing her master's worried expression, Ji Xuan took his hand and reassured him.

Hopefully, he can act calmly.

Lu Changsheng and the people of the Heavenly Fox Clan guarded Young Master Wang's corpse, awaiting the descent of the Demon God.

Boom--

An incomparably powerful, peerless demonic Demon Qi descended, obscuring the Demon Qi and piercing through the nine heavens and earth.

Within the vast Demon Qi lay boundless rage.

Dozens of peerless demon Demon Race experts appeared, led by a Demon Race man with long black and white hair cascading down his shoulders. His expression had changed from his usual calm demeanor; his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

His carefully groomed successor was murdered.

Besides the Demon God, dozens of Grand Supreme Elders from the Qilin Holy Land arrived, and everyone had a solemn expression.

The assassination of a young Demon Race genius from the Qilin Holy Land represents a loss for the future.

The Demon God came before his son, drew his Long Sword, and with trembling hands, picked up the body of Young Master Wang.

After a long while, an Elder from the Qilin Holy Land took the body. "The Demon God has instructed me to take the Divine Son back to Qilin Sacred Mountain for burial. He is a descendant of our Qilin Sacred Mountain and should be buried there to avoid being disturbed."

The Demon God nodded and handed over Young Master Wang's corpse to the Elder.

He had more important things to do.

"Has the murderer been identified?"

The Demon God's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he posed a question to Ji Ning, the patriarch of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

Ji Ning shook his head. "The only thing we can confirm is that the assassin is Human Race, but we have no way of knowing which faction this assassin serves."

"Human Race..."

The killing intent in the Demon God's eyes intensified.

Whoever killed his son must be executed.

"Tell me the details of what happened."

"Yes."

Ji Ning truthfully recounted the detailed events of Young Master Wang's visit to Tushan over the past few days, including the arrangements for each day and the journey back.

"I didn't call him back beforehand; he fell into a trap set by the other side."

The Demon God only listened to the account of the events, and after a brief comparison, he discovered where the problem lay.

With a wave of his hand, the corpse of a Demon Race servant fell into his grasp.

The Demon God's Divine Sense probed the servant's corpse.

Immediately, the Demon God's expression changed. "It's the Heavenly Court's doing."

"The Heavenly Court?!"

Whether it was Qilin Sacred Mountain, the Heavenly Fox Clan, or Lu Changsheng, their expressions all changed drastically.

The Demon God deduced that it was the Heavenly Court's doing!

"Impossible. The threat from the Demon Realm alone has already given the Heavenly Court a huge headache. There's no reason for the Heavenly Court to add another enemy to its ranks. It's more likely that someone is framing us. I urge the Demon God to investigate thoroughly to avoid falling into someone else's trap."

Lu Changsheng racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a reason for the Heavenly Court to assassinate the Yao Realm's Divine Son.

The Heavenly Court is busy dealing with the Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm. To anger the Demon God at this time would be tantamount to courting its own destruction.

Although the Demon God found traces of control by the Heavenly Court within the servant's body, it does not necessarily mean that the Heavenly Court was responsible.

Lu Changsheng still needs to argue his case based on reason, otherwise, if this leads to a major battle, Lu Changsheng will also be implicated, and he might even have to fight his Disciple.

"You are Human Race, so naturally you will uphold the Heavenly Court. All the evidence points to the Heavenly Court."

The Demon God's black and white pupils looked at Lu Changsheng, having already seen through Lu Changsheng's true nature.

Even the Disguise Pills of the Heavenly Fox Clan could not fool an existence like the Demon God.

The power of the Demon God is beyond doubt, surpassing that of many Demon Kings.

They found out after all...

Even so, Lu Changsheng still wanted to try. "The forces that assassinated your son are hoping that the Demon God will misjudge the situation and provoke conflict. Please reconsider, Demon God."

"I only look at the evidence; I don't need your opinions!"

The Demon God waved his hand, and a terrifying Nine Heavens Gang Wind, snapping trees and forcing Lu Changsheng to take several steps back.

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth. A being like the Demon God could be destroyed with just a flick of a finger.

The Demon God did not go on a killing spree; he had already exercised extreme restraint.

"A blood debt must be paid in blood. I will not let the murderer get away with this; I will repay him a hundredfold."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Demon God unleashed a gust of demonic wind, and vanished with the people of Qilin Sacred Mountain.

"How did this matter get involved with the Heavenly Court? Could it really have been done by the Heavenly Court? That's highly unlikely. The Heavenly Court should know what assassinating the Yao Realm's Divine Son means; if discovered by the Demon God, the Heavenly Court could be destroyed. It seems like a frame-up by the pro-war Demon King and the Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm..."

"Given the Demon God's knowledge, he could not possibly be mistaken in recognizing that the Cultivation Method used to control Young Master Wang's servant originated from the Heavenly Court. So what's going on here?"

Lu Changsheng rubbed his temples, unable to understand the connection.

All three parties are suspected of assassinating Young Master Wang.

Seeing Lu Changsheng deep in thought, Ji Su said, "The Demon God has his reasons for suspecting the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court isn't entirely without motive."

"Oh? What's the motivation?"

Although Lu Changsheng argued for the Heavenly Court, he was not a member of the Heavenly Court and wanted to hear Ji Su's opinion.

As Great Expert Demon Race member in the Changsheng Immortality Realm, Ji Su's understanding of various forces naturally surpasses that of Lu Changsheng.

"The Demon God born from Qilin Sacred Mountain, the one you just saw, is already a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Court. The earth-shattering battle between the High Antiquity Heavenly Court and the Primordial Demon God resulted in the fall of five Human Race Great Emperors and severely weakened the High Antiquity Heavenly Court. Therefore, the Heavenly Court fears the birth of another great being like the Primordial Demon God among the demon Demon Race. Young Master Wang possesses talent no less than the current Demon God, and with the Demon God's guidance since childhood, he will only surpass his master. If the Heavenly Court's motive is to eliminate a potential threat..."

"Of course, this is only the Heavenly Court's motive. Like you, I still believe more that this is a frame-up."

Ji Su revealed what she believed to be the motive, but that was all.

The Heavenly Court had a motive to assassinate Young Master Wang, but according to the principle that whoever benefits the most is the assassin, the Heavenly Court's gains were not significant.

Eliminating Young Master Wang, but in return, brought attacks from the Demon God and even the entire Demon Race. No matter how you look at it, it was a losing proposition.

"It seems that only by finding the killer or the mastermind behind it all can we find out the truth."

Lu Changsheng felt utterly powerless; this was not a matter he could resolve quickly.

Putting aside whether Lu Changsheng can afford to offend the mastermind behind it all, even the assassin who killed Young Master Wang is not someone Lu Changsheng can capture.

News of the assassination of Prince Young Master Wang divine Divine Son of the Demon Race, spread throughout the Yao Realm, causing shock and uproar.

The various Demon Race Tribes never expected that any force would dare to risk the Demon God's furious retaliation by killing Young Master Wang.

Assassinating a junior who has not yet fully matured is a major taboo in the Three Realms.

Which major power doesn't have a few talented younger generations?

If the various factions were to plot against each other's juniors, the Three Realms would have long been in chaos.

With the death of the Demon Race's Divine Son, the Divine Son Candidate Divine Son for the position, and Qi, the young master of the Kui-Phoenix Clan, successfully took his place.

The various war-loving Demon Kings gathered at Qilin Sacred Mountain, demanding that the Demon God reconsider cooperating with the Demon Venerable.

The peaceful Yao Realm was thrown into turmoil by the assassination attempt on the Demon Race's Divine Son.

Lu Changsheng realized that the situation was out of control and beyond his ability to resolve, so he decided to leave the Heavenly Fox Clan and return to the High Antiquity Su Family.

The pro-war Demon Kings were all distracted by the assassination attempt on the Divine Son and gathered at Qilin Sacred Mountain. They lost interest in Lu Changsheng and withdrew their surveillance of Lu Changsheng, allowing Lu Changsheng to leave the Heavenly Fox Clan at any time.

"I have a premonition that chaos is imminent in the Three Realms, and the Demon Race will not escape its calamity. However, our Heavenly Fox Clan will try our best to exercise restraint, hoping that we will not become enemies in the future."

Ji Su knew that Lu Changsheng was leaving, but she did not try to stop him.

As Human Race Xiuzhenzhe, Lu Changsheng Lu Changsheng was in a very dangerous situation, as the pro-war faction had regained the upper hand due to the assassination of the Demon Race's Divine Son. Leaving as soon as possible was the best course of action.

"Grandmother, I'm seeing Master off."

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was about to leave again, Ji Xuan asked Ji Su to personally escort Lu Changsheng away from Tushan.

Ji Su sighed. With Young Master Wang dead, the marriage alliance between Tushan and Qilin Sacred Mountain would fall through, and there was nothing left to worry about.

Ji Xuan escorted him all the way to the outside of Tushan.

Lu Changsheng summoned the Void Boat, intending to leave Tushan and return to the High Antiquity Su Family to seek further guidance from Su Wudi.

Changes are occurring in all sectors, Calamity is imminent. Lu Changsheng needs to improve his own strength as much as possible.

Only one's own strength is truly reliable.

"Master, after this parting, I don't know how long it will be before we meet again."

Ji Xuan touched her soft fox tail, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.

"The Yao Realm is in turmoil; you must take good care of yourself. You are your only disciple in the Yao Realm, and your master is quite worried."

"Master, please rest assured, no matter what, your Disciple will never be your enemy."

Ji Xuan's eyes were bright and resolute.

Even if the Demon God decides to join forces with the Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm, she will not betray her master.

If her master hadn't rescued her from the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, she would probably still be sleeping Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

"I trust you."

As soon as Lu Changsheng finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he gripped the sword hilt with his other hand.

Ji Xuan was the same; a Demon Sword appeared in her hand.

"Master, you noticed it too?"

"Hmm, it seems the assassin didn't go far. No, not just one assassin, but two."

Lu Changsheng looked around and saw that he and his disciple were already locked onto by two murderous auras.

These two murderous auras most likely came from the assassins who were trying to kill Young Master Wang.

The space around them began to collapse under the influence of the opponent's Law Treasure, forcibly transferring Lu Changsheng and his disciple Ji Xuan to another location.

"This is bad. The enemy knows they can't make a move near Tushan, so they've moved us to another location."

By the time Lu Changsheng realized the other party's intentions, their magical Law Treasure had already teleported him and his disciple to a desolate wasteland.

"You are very clever, but unfortunately, you are doomed to die today."

Two figures stood atop a mountain peak, coldly staring at Lu Changsheng and his disciple.

They were already tens of millions of miles away from Tushan, and the Great Expert Demon Race Tushan could not find them in a short time.

"Since my death is imminent, you might as well reveal your origins, otherwise I will die with my eyes wide open in disbelief."

Lu Changsheng sized up the two Xiuzhenzhe had assassinated Young Master Wang. Both of them were masked, and their auras were concealed by Law Treasure, making it impossible to discern their origins.

The two assassins exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. "Fool, did you think you could trick us into revealing our origins? We're professionals..."

"Are you from an assassin organization?"

Lu Changsheng keenly grasped the implied meaning in the words.

The two assassins turned pale.
