The Plan to Murder Xu Tianyuan Was Made by the Crown Prince

The explosion in the sky above the mountaintop gradually subsided. The sound and light slowly faded, and the night sky gradually returned to peace. The mountain was even eerily quiet.

Zhongli Wu had made preparations long before this, guarding against any ambush.

Yet to his surprise, no one attacked him even after the explosion died down. Even the sounds of Eunuch Gao fighting the two elders below were gone.

This gave Zhongli Wu a bad feeling.

Only when the explosion had completely subsided and Zhongli Wu could see his surroundings clearly did he discover in shock that the Third Prince had vanished.

When he turned to search, he saw the Third Prince being carried by the Death God Messenger, fleeing at full speed out of the mountain together with Eunuch Gao. Clearly, they had already begun to run before the explosion had fully settled.

The Third Prince, who was being carried by the Death God Messenger, sensed Zhongli Wu's gaze and even raised two middle fingers at Zhongli Wu from afar.

Zhongli Wu was left stunned.

"They ran?"

What was going on?

Only when the Bone Dragon King let out a low growl in warning did Zhongli Wu look in the direction the Bone Dragon King was alerting him to. Then his pupils abruptly constricted, and a chill sank from his spine into the back of his skull.

At the place where the Ming King Divine Artifact had originally been, the Ming King Divine Artifact was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a Ninth-Tier Fixed Soul Cannon Shell had been placed there!

Most importantly, the shell had already been activated and begun its countdown.

Zhongli Wu did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately urged the Bone Dragon King to turn and flee. He also wanted to bring Xu Tianran, the
