Phantom Shadow Demon Trace

Volume 2 Phantom Shadow Demon Trace Chapter 19 I'm Afraid I Might Accidentally Kill You

Tang Ruowei hesitated and said, "Master only taught me moves for killing, I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you."

Inheriting the fine genes of Emperor Qu Peng, the Crown Prince of Dingguo was also a sturdy man. Although his muscles were not as terrifying as his father's, one could still see the power hidden within them. Just by looking at this physique, one could tell that the Crown Prince's strength was extraordinary.

"The person is already dead, what use is a leftover shell? Can it replace my son and inherit my empire?"

"Just this delicate young woman?"

Damn it, she really is airtight. He raised his hand and ordered, "Someone, take these two young ladies to examine the Crown Prince's corpse."

Zuo Yanfei began to examine the cause of the Crown Prince of Dingguo's death, and Tang Ruowei assisted from the side, while Bai Qiuran also opened his eyes to scan the corpse at this moment.

Tang Ruowei said, "That was clearly a fox demon, but to ambush a Crown Prince of Dingguo who is equivalent to the peak of the Qi Refining Stage under the protection of elite guards without being discovered, how high must its cultivation be? Is this level of demon crazy? Sneaking in, bypassing the eyes and ears of all the guards present, just to bite the Crown Prince and cause him a non-fatal wound? Are they insane?"

"Little brother here is dull-witted and short-sighted, what kind of opinion could I have?"

Leaving the location of the Crown Prince's corpse, Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei went together to the place where the Crown Prince met his end.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Tang Ruowei recalled the cultural lessons she had learned in the Azure Nether Sword Sect.

Bai Qiuran pretended to be very confused and scratched his head.

"It's different. Anyone can tell at a glance that Miss Zuo is a heroine, a champion among women."

"But this young lady looks much more delicate. When she doesn't speak, she feels like a refined young lady... no, like those daughters of mine."

The Crown Prince's corpse was revealed before the eyes of Bai Qiuran and the others. Due to the careful care and preservation by the officials of Dingguo, the Crown Prince's body had not decayed, nor was there any foul odor, and it was preserved quite well.

"Let alone whether to make a move, I think the wound on the Crown Prince's shoulder is very suspicious in the first place."

"Then let me talk about my findings."

Tang Ruowei took a look. The wound on the shoulder seemed to have been bitten by something. Looking at the degree of tissue tearing, it really did not look like an injury that could be caused by human teeth.

Are you saying I lack femininity and am a real tomboy?

After withdrawing his gaze, Bai Qiuran basically understood the cause of the Crown Prince's death in his heart. Just at this moment, Tang Ruowei suddenly looked up and asked, "Junior brother, do you have any opinions?"

"No, no, this one is just a little brother, his cultivation is not high."

Tang Ruowei cursed inwardly. Seeing the flash in Bai Qiuran's eyes just now, the maiden understood clearly that he must have already known something, but this guy wouldn't say it. Even if it were a surprise attack, he could handle it calmly; he was worthy of being an old guy who had lived for so many years.

Emperor Qu Peng sneered and said, "You little girl, your tone is quite big. I would actually like to see how you would kill me... However, I am a monarch of a nation after all. If I were accidentally killed by you, the remaining people would be beyond my control, and they would definitely cause you trouble, so let's forget it. Young lady, you can prove your strength to me during this arrest."

"Oh?" Zuo Yanfei looked disappointed, but still said, "Let's go, Ruowei, let's go look at other places."

Zuo Yanfei said, "Presumably someone is hiding something, perhaps to save their own life, or perhaps for other purposes."

Zuo Yanfei replied, "My family used to be hunters. Before joining the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, I often followed Dad into the mountains to hunt. At that time, fox fur was very valuable, and I had also been bitten by wild foxes."

Zuo Yanfei acted with her usual swiftness and decisiveness. After entering the main hall, she didn't say a word and walked straight to the Crown Prince's corpse, pulling off the white cloth covering it.

The old eunuch nearby was startled and hurriedly stopped her, "This is the Crown Prince's body, don't push your luck!"

Emperor Qu Peng's eyebrows knitted together, and he said angrily, "Then it's better to let it serve a purpose and help me find the murderer who killed my son!"

Zuo Yanfei said with some displeasure.

"Then is this a demon?"

Emperor Qu Peng waved his hand.

The Crown Prince's corpse was placed on a stone platform in the center of the main hall, covered with a white cloth. The two guards did not follow them in; instead, an old eunuch followed them in, presumably to watch Bai Qiuran and the others, fearing that they might do something to the Crown Prince's corpse.

Zuo Yanfei pointed to a wound on the Crown Prince of Dingguo's shoulder and said, "Here, it was clearly not caused by a human."

"Indeed, but on the surface, you can no longer see any wounds."

"Your Majesty, I am also a woman."

The location said to be the scene of the Crown Prince's death was by a canal inside the imperial city of Dingguo. It is said that at that time, the group had set up a stage to perform on the street by the canal, and the Crown Prince of Dingguo was drinking and watching from the top of a restaurant nearby.

At that time, the entire floor had been booked by the wealthy Crown Prince, and only he and his guards were there.

"But this doesn't look like a fatal wound."

"Oh?"

"Sigh, sigh, two young ladies."

"There are no traces of a struggle here at all."

Zuo Yanfei pointed at Bai Qiuran, then pointed at Tang Ruowei and said, "But this young lady, like me, comes from a famous sect, and her strength is definitely not below mine!"

"This... let's just forget it."

However, Emperor Qu Peng did not notice Zuo Yanfei's expression. He looked at Tang Ruowei, shook the muscles on his body, beckoned, and said, "Come, young lady, let me test your strength."

Emperor Qu Peng took two deep breaths, his chest heaving high, as if he had adjusted his temper. Then he looked at Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei on the side and asked, "Are these two your companions? Are they also highly skilled?"

"Sigh, since Emperor Qu Peng let us see his son's corpse, we must give him some face. The dead are to be respected; we cannot desecrate the body of the deceased at will."

Two guards walked over from outside the courtyard and took Bai Qiuran and the others into a palace heavily guarded, where the Crown Prince's body was placed.

But after Zuo Yanfei and Tang Ruowei looked around, they discovered the problem.

Zuo Yanfei's expression became even more displeased.

Zuo Yanfei said.

Zuo Yanfei pondered, "If we could open his chest cavity..."

But it was heard that he was killed silently while watching the performance.

"It should be a fox."

The little eunuch was so frightened that his legs were shaking, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing repeatedly.

The eunuch nearby hurriedly persuaded, "That is the golden body of the Crown Prince."

"Opinion? What opinion?"

Emperor Qu Peng looked at Tang Ruowei and clicked his tongue in wonder.

Zuo Yanfei also blinked, looking at him.

"Then this is not the actual location where the Crown Prince died."

"But what kind of thing caused this wound?"
