Chapter 993: The Ninth Princess ‘Limit, One for One

“You’re worse than a fool!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.

The Sky-Devouring Green Kun-Fish flew into a rage out of humiliation. Its eyes were fierce, and a monstrous murderous aura rushed out. It was about to mobilize its ominous energy to condense into a huge mouth that could swallow him whole. Before it could move, Zhang Ronghua had already made his move. The Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Fan pressed down fiercely. Golden light appeared and condensed into a huge phoenix claw. It was extremely fast and violent. It was caught before it could even react.

A terrifying power came from the phoenix claw and rushed into his body, destroying his cultivation.

Puff!

A heart-wrenching pain was felt as the Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish spat out a mouthful of blood. Its eyes were filled with shock as if it could not believe that this scene was real. Someone was hiding his cultivation and was actually able to fool it.

A golden light flashed.

They quickly left with it. The night wind whistled, and they were already gone.

Two thousand feet underground.

Zhang Ronghua threw the Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish on the ground. The birds pointed at the phoenix fan and set up a barrier. He asked coldly,” Who ordered you to pretend to be crescent moons and lure the Crown Prince out of the Eastern Palace? Then, you will kill him on the way?”

“If This King was afraid of death, I wouldn’t have assassinated him!”

“Really?” Zhang Ronghua laughed coldly.

He flipped his left hand, palm facing upwards, and the Heaven Burning Hellfire rushed out. It burned with a sizzling sound. Every time it spun, its power would increase by a bit, especially the Hellfire attribute, which was specifically targeted at the soul.

The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun-Fish swallowed hard. It was so scared that it broke out in a cold sweat and squirmed uneasily.

“Go!”

Zhang Ronghua waved his hand and knocked it down.

Chi!

The Heaven Burning Hellfire turned into a ten-foot-long flame that enveloped it, but it didn’t burn its body or torture its soul.

The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish gritted its teeth and persevered, not letting itself scream.

However, it overestimated its endurance and also muttered about the horror of the flames. It only lasted for a while before it could not withstand it anymore. It rolled around in pain, and its screams grew from small to loud until it turned into thunder.

This was not something that a beast could withstand. It was simply hell. No matter who it was, they could not withstand it!

In less than fifteen minutes.

The Sky-Devouring Green Kun felt like it had died countless times. Its weak will collapsed.” Stop…”

“Useless!” Zhang Ronghua said disdainfully.

Bai Niao pointed at the phoenix fan, and the Heaven Burning Hellfire left its body and floated in the air.

“Speak!”

” I’m from the Shang Dynasty. I’m a subordinate of the Ninth Princess, Shang Qingxuan.” The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish was obedient this time. It did not dare to provoke him again.

“Where is she now?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.

” Number 99, Qilin Lane.”

“Other than her, who else is entering the capital this time?”

” We came in batches.” The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish shook its head.” No one knows except the Ninth Princess.”

“The recent events in the capital, starting from the Universal Sword Array, were they your doing?”

“Yes.”

They all matched.

“Where is the headquarters of the Primordial Demon God?” asked Zhang Ronghua.

“Do you think the higher-ups will tell me such an important secret?” The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun smiled bitterly.

“Why did you pretend to be a crescent moon and lure the Crown Prince out of the Eastern Palace to kill him?”

” The Crown Prince is dead, and the position of the Crown Prince is vacant. The other Princes will have their chance. No matter who wins, the internal conflict in Great Xia will be very serious. To our Shang Dynasty, it will be a huge benefit!”

“You’re not from the Shang Dynasty. You’re from the Xia Dynasty!” Zhang Ronghua laughed.

” What’s there to hide?” The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish was puzzled.” What’s there to hide now?”

” I’ve already betrayed you. If it was someone from the Shang Dynasty, they wouldn’t call the Xia Dynasty ‘Great Xia’ or the Shang Dynasty ‘Shang Dynasty’. There’s only one possibility. Only people from Great Xia would call them that.”

The Sky-Devouring Green Kun Fish was silent. Due to its habitual thinking, it had accidentally let slip. If it was someone else who heard it, they might not have thought much of it in the face of great joy. However, it did not expect the person in front of it to be so meticulous and guess its identity from the details.

Zhang Ronghua continued,” There aren’t many people in the capital who dare to do this. The princes are the first to be eliminated. They want that position, but they aren’t stupid to this extent! The great clans could also be ruled out. Those with weak foundations were not strong enough, and those with deep foundations would not use such a lowly method even if they attacked. This case involved the Crown Prince and the Crescent Moon. The former represented the Imperial Court, and the latter represented the Grand Tutor. They would not treat the lives of their nine clans as a joke. Only the truesouls, beasts, demons, ghosts, and sects are left, including the people of the Shang Dynasty.”

The Sky-Swallowing Green Kun Fish tried its best to remain calm and not show any signs of panic.

As Zhang Ronghua continued speaking, even though he didn’t make a move, more and more cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His heart turned cold. The person in front of him was as intelligent as a demon. He was too terrifying!

” Emperor Xia had suppressed the true spirit before, and the Kun Peng race was almost exterminated. A classic example. They would not treat the lives of their entire race as a joke. Even if they really did attack, they would have a huge hatred, so great that they had to kill them. The Crown Prince has always lived in seclusion and has almost never left the capital. He has also never given orders to encircle and suppress them. There is no deep hatred. No matter how great the benefits are, he would not attack because of his scruples. Isn’t he afraid that he will lose his life to enjoy it? Did they really think that the True Dragon Palace and the other departments were trash? There are no experts in Grand Xia?”

He paused for a moment.

“The people of the Shang Dynasty would not assassinate the Crown Prince if they infiltrated the capital. Even if they did, they would not implicate the Grand Tutor. If they really did this, did they really think that the Great Xia army was at a disadvantage? With the Grand Tutor’s power, he is determined to start a war. Now that the Crown Prince is dead, the war that erupts will definitely sweep across the entire continent. No one can stay out of it unless the Shang Dynasty is prepared to fight to the death. Otherwise, once the war starts, no matter who wins or loses, the ones who will benefit will be the others (the Hundred True Spirit Races, the beasts, and the demons). No matter how stupid the Shang Emperor is, he is not that stupid. By inference, only the sects and factions will be left.”
