"What did you say? In less than a day, you killed Hu Liena and the others?" Qian Xunji asked in astonishment.
Gu Chen replied calmly, "Yes. Wasn't it just killing three people?"
"..." Qian Xunji had to admit that this brat was truly good at putting on airs.
"Someone." With a wave of Qian Xunji's hand, a man emerged from the shadows behind him. He actually possessed the cultivation of a Soul Douluo.
Qian Xunji looked at the man and said, "Go and see whether Hu Liena and the others are truly dead. Do not damage the scene."
"Yes!" After kneeling on one knee and saluting, the man quickly left the Pope's Palace.
Gu Chen and Qian Xunji waited in the Pope's Palace for a quarter of an hour before the Soul Douluo returned.
"Your Holiness, Hu Liena died in her dormitory. Her roommate has already reported it to the teachers of Spirit Academy. Cause of death: her heart was pierced by a sharp weapon. Xie Yue died on the commercial street of Spirit City. Cause of death: his heart was pierced by a sharp weapon, and his head was shattered. Yan died in the Ghost Forest Mimic Cultivation Ground of Spirit Academy. Only his skeleton and a token that could prove his identity remained. Cause of death: devoured by soul beasts." The Soul Douluo reported. Each of the three deaths surprised Qian Xunji somewhat.
Yan's manner of death in particular made Qian Xunji narrow his eyes as he looked at Gu Chen. "You have a soul skill that can control soul beasts?"
Gu Chen smiled faintly. "It was merely a medicinal powder that can attract soul beasts." He would not expose his abilities before Qian Xunji. After all, Qian Xunji was extremely suspicious.
Only then did Qian Xunji smile.
