Chapter 5 : How Should I Deal With You?
In the basement, dark and gloomy.The demon assassin Hui Yue leaned against the wall, her expression extremely unpleasant.
"How is this possible!"
She still couldn't understand how she had been exposed, and even had the Six Bureaus coming to her doorstep, blocking all escape routes.
Most importantly, last night's assassination target was still alive.
This made her somewhat anxious.
But she wasn't yet desperate.
Because she heard clearly that the interrogation outside only mentioned suspicions without concrete evidence. As long as Secretary Li denied everything to the death, the people behind her could still manipulate things.
But at this moment, she heard the constable's excited and urgent cry.
"Demon hair! There's a demon in Secretary Li's house!"
"Notify headquarters!"
"Not good!"
Hui Yue's hair stood on end.
Her hair?!
She had been so careful, how could she possibly have left hair behind?!
Hui Yue couldn't understand.
But she knew that the balance had been broken. After discovering the demon hair, the defense here would not only not relax but would become even more stringent until the experts from the Six Bureaus dug up everything here.
So, if she wanted to escape, it had to be now!
As for what would happen to Secretary Li? Humans and demons had always been on different paths; why should she consider him? Good luck to him!
○
In the outer courtyard, seeing Secretary Li's panicked expression on the ground, Shen Yao understood something and couldn't help but turn her gaze toward the white-haired girl in the wheelchair.
The girl's expression was extremely calm.
Shen Yao now pretty much understood that all of Mu Qinglan's actions from beginning to end had been carefully planned.
She probably had possessed the relevant information early on and had just been waiting, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
She herself might also be a part of her plan.
From using verbal offensives to break down the opponent's psychological defenses, to using demon hair to frame him, from start to finish, Secretary Li had been toyed with in the palm of this princess at her side.
Like prey fallen into a hunter's trap.
She couldn't help but admire her a bit. Earlier, she had underestimated her opponent. Now it seemed that Mu Qinglan's intelligence capabilities far exceeded imagination.
It might not even be impossible for her to help with her revenge.
So now there was only one question—the crucial evidence of Secretary Li's collusion with the demon had not yet been found. The demon hair alone was enough to send him to the imperial prison but not enough to condemn him.
Did she have another arrangement?
For some reason, Shen Yao instinctively felt that Mu Qinglan must have a backup plan.
Boom!!
Just as she was thinking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the backyard.
Secretary Li's face instantly turned pale.
Dust rose everywhere, and then a black shadow darted out like lightning, heading straight for the girl in the wheelchair.
"Demon assassin!"
The surrounding people exclaimed.
Without time to think further, Shen Yao stepped forward, shielding Mu Qinglan behind her, and then activated her spiritual power to draw the sword at her waist.
Ice-blue fragments of light surged.
The light on the blade grew brighter, emitting a freezing chill that made the surroundings feel like an ice cellar.
Ding—
A crisp explosion sounded as claws and ice blade engaged in close combat.
Terrifying force was applied to the blade.
However, Shen Yao stood her ground, staring at the opponent without retreating a step.
In the next instant, a sound like a torrential rainstorm suddenly erupted. The two figures disappeared from their original positions, and the ice-blue blade danced in the air, leaving behind illusory and beautiful traces, firmly blocking every offensive route of the assassin.
Wind pressure spread outward from the center of the two, blowing so hard that the surrounding constables could barely open their eyes.
Although all the constables were all transcendents, they were mostly eighth or ninth rank and couldn't intervene in the battle.ook precedence, even overwhelming her combat instincts.
This moment of hesitation created a fatal opening.
How could...?
How could she know the weakness of the demon's secret Blood Ignition technique?!
This was classified even among the demons!
Before she could think further, the assassin felt a pain in her chest.
A cold chill spread from her chest, gradually creeping through her limbs and body. That power, which froze everything, sealed her spiritual power circulation while also locking her limbs, preventing her from taking any action.
It's over...
Hui Yue's eyes showed despair.
She never imagined that last night's confident assassination would turn into an inescapable death warrant today!
Where was the promised weakling?!
The creaking sound of the wheelchair slowly rose.
The immobilized assassin watched Mu Qinglan coming closer, her eyes blazing with fury, yet powerless.
"How should we deal with her?"
Shen Yao turned back and asked in a low voice.
At this moment, she was not the dutiful Chief Constable of the Six Bureaus, but the accomplice and hound of the white-haired girl at her side.
So naturally, she didn't need to consider the Six Bureaus' interrogation needs.
After the girl had demonstrated such intricate planning and such terrifying schemes, Shen Yao finally conceded—in terms of strategy, she fell far short of Mu Qinglan.
Being her hound temporarily was not unacceptable.
…How to deal with her? Mu Qinglan's eyes lowered slightly, lost in thought.
After being subdued by Shen Yao, this assassin from the demon clan no longer posed a threat, and her own strength, intelligence, and current hatred toward herself weren't worth the great effort to subdue.
So there weren't many options left.
Why not use her to test something she hadn't experimented with yet?
Thinking this, a malicious smile curled at the corner of Mu Qinglan's mouth, making Hui Yue clearly realize that she was about to face a great calamity.
'No!'
Hui Yue wanted to speak, but she couldn't even open her mouth.
She could only watch helplessly as Mu Qinglan took an exquisite hand crossbow from a shadow servant, then raised it with some effort, aiming at her forehead.
"Deal with her like this."
Mu Qinglan smiled gently.
In that instant, seeing the gentle smile at the corner of Mu Qinglan's mouth, countless regrets flooded Hui Yue's heart.
If given another chance, she would absolutely not provoke this treacherous and vicious woman!
But unfortunately.
Mu Qinglan would not give her a second chance.
Twang—
The sound of the bowstring releasing was barely audible, but a finger-thick hole had already appeared on the woman's forehead.
Her eyes became unfocused, her body swayed, and then stood straight on the spot.
And opposite—
Mu Qinglan sat in her wheelchair, looking at the corpse, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curling upward.
In a perspective that only she could see, slight white light points slowly emerged from the opponent's corpse, then flowed into her own body.
[Killed a fifth-rank warrior, gained 64 experience]
It seemed her player panel was still there.
Very nice.
