Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The North Prince Through Wang Qingci’s Eyesi
Translator: 549690339
The two surviving Ninth Grade martial artists of the Blood Moon Guild completely lost their will to resist when they saw Liu Yuan instantly killed by the North Prince using a mysterious weapon.
Even a Half-step Grandmaster had been killed by the North Prince as easily as slaughtering a chicken, so what resistance could they, two Ninth Grade martial artists, possibly muster?
That was a Half-step Grandmaster!
A Half-step Grandmaster who was just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster!
Let alone a Grandmaster, even for a Grandmaster, it’s not easy to instantly kill a Half-step Grandmaster. Yet, the North Prince, who was rumored to be nothing but useless, eliminated him in an instant.
“Prince, please spare our lives, this humble one was threatened by Liu Yuan to come here, this humble one never had the intention to oppose the Prince,” they pleaded.
“Prince, have mercy, this humble one knows the hiding places of the Blood Moon Guild, if the Prince wishes to eradicate the Blood Moon Guild, this humble one can lead the way.”
As they spoke, the two Ninth Grade martial artists from the Blood Moon Guild kowtowed incessantly, their blood already congealing their hair together.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Qingci’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Once, she had thought that Ninth Grade martial artists were extremely powerful, especially after she herself became a Ninth Grade marial artist, she believed that she could one day break free from the Misty Pavilion and the Wang Family with her own strength.
But now, being Ninth Grade seemed so trivial.
Not to mention Ninth Grade, even the status of a Half-step Grandmaster might drastically decline in the future.
With these thoughts, Wang Qingci once again glanced at the black staff in Lu Chen’s hands.
With that mysterious weapon, any Half-step Grandmaster would be no different from an ordinary person.
If the North Prince Mansion could mass-produce the same type of weapons, the entire Martial Arts World might very well be overturned.
At this moment, Wang Qingci seemed to have foreseen the collapse of the Martial Arts World and the North Prince unifying the entire continent.
At that time, Li Feng said to Lu Chen, “Prince, should we keep these two? Maybe they can help us locate the Blood Moon Guild.”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen then asked, “General Li, can you guarantee that these two Ninth Grade martial artists won’t escape?”
Li Feng replied, “Your Highness, we can lock down their Pipa Bones with hooks to prevent them from using their skills.”
Lu Chen said with a smile, “General Li, what I asked was whether you could ensure that these two Ninth Grade martial artists wouldn’t escape.”
Li Feng fell silent.
Of course, he couldn’t guarantee this.
Even if they hooked these two people’s Pipa Bones, they could still potentially find ways to escape, given they were Ninth Grade martial artists.
Seeing Li Feng’s silence, Lu Chen could practically confirm that even Li Feng couldn’t be sure of preventing their escape without fail.
Although he had a Ninth Grade and a Half-step Grandmaster by his side, one was Wang Qingci and the other was Chu Yuqin. He couldn’t possibly have them watch over the assassins from the Blood Moon Guild.
If Li Feng and the rest were to watch these assassins, with Li Feng being a Seventh Grade, and the remaining soldiers being Third and Fourth Grade, they might not be able to stop them if the assassins of the Blood Moon Guild really broke free.
So, to be safe, it was better to dispose of these two.
With that thought, Lu Chen, without saying another word, conjured the Desert Eagle out of his sleeve like magic, aimed it at the two Ninth Grade martial artists, and fired two shots, “Bang, bang.”
The last two assassins sent by the Blood Moon Guild fell to the ground. With that, all assassins sent by the Blood Moon Guild were wiped out, and Prince Lu Shuyun’s plan failed once again.
Seeing the two fallen Ninth Grade experts, the soldiers couldn’t help but swallow hard.
If it were before, one Ninth Grade could defeat fifty of them.
Under normal circumstances, these two Ninth Grade experts would have been wholly capable of killing all of them, over a hundred soldiers.
But now, two Ninth Grade experts had been easily executed by their Prince.
The weapon in the Prince’s hands was terrifying!
They didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if that kind of weapon were used on them in the future.
At this moment, Li Feng and the others felt immensely relieved that they had been wise to stay in the North City.
If they had chosen to return to the Capital city, let alone whether they could have made it out of Yan County.
Even if they had made it back to the Capital city, when the North Prince rose to power, they would likely have to face those mysterious weapons in the hands of the North Prince directly.
Every time the soldiers thought about the previous grenade explosion, their bodies would involuntarily begin to tremble.
At that moment, Wang Qingci stared intensely at the Desert Eagle in Lu Chen’s hands. She had initially thought that the North Prince only had that long black weapon and was shocked to discover that the North Prince also possessed a mysterious weapon capable of easily killing a Ninth Grade martial artist.
How could the North Prince possess such a terrifying weapon?
Where on earth did these weapons come from?
Wang Qingci was very certain that such dreadful weapons did not exist in this world; otherwise, the Martial Arts World would have been in chaos long ago.
It was at this moment that Lu Chen turned his head to look at Wang Qingci.
Wang Qingci’s delicate frame shivered slightly, and her mind went blank.
With just one look from Lu Chen, Wang Qingci felt overwhelmed with fear. In her heart, the North Prince had become synonymous with a god of death and mystery.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “Qingci, how do you plan to deal with the people from the Misty Pavilion?”
Lu Chen had only subdued Wang Qingci; therefore, he had no intention of sparing the remaining people from Misty Pavilion. Elements that could not be fully controlled were best eliminated entirely.
He had not yet grown strong enough to contend with the whole world, so he still needed to act with caution and care.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Wang Qingci immediately replied, “Your Highness, please rest assured, 1 have already taken care of them all with the help of Madam Chu.”
Hm?
Lu Chen was somewhat surprised to hear Wang Qingci’s answer.
Truthfully, he had not expected Wang Qingci to be capable of such action, especially since she was the Saintess of the Misty Pavilion and had grown up there since childhood.
Chu Yuqin then spoke up, “Chen’er, what do you plan to do next?”
Even though they had just thwarted another assassination attempt by Blood Moon Tower, Chu Yuqin did not believe that Blood Moon Tower would just let it go.
This time, their Vice Tower Master had died at the North Prince Mansion, and Blood Moon Tower was notorious for seeking vengeance. It was certain they would come back for revenge.
The situation at the Prince’s Mansion remained precarious.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen then said, “Let word of today’s events spread. Say that the Mysterious Grandmaster of the Prince’s Mansion has not left, and with the help of the Mansion’s Grandmaster, we have foiled another assassination by Blood Moon Tower.”
Lu Chen was not yet ready to let the world know about his Desert Eagle and Batrelei, so for now, he could only use the Mysterious Grandmaster to deter those who harbored enmity towards the Prince’s Mansion.
Chu Yuqin contemplated for a moment and agreed that Lu Chen’s approach was sound.
“Chen’er, you should go see Zixuan and the others. Leave everything here to us,” she said.
Mu Zixuan and the sisters from the Zhou Family were still in the tunnel, likely already aware of the commotion above the mansion and probably very worried. Thus, Chu Yuqin wanted Lu Chen to check on them first.
All three women, Mu Zixuan included, were pregnant and should not be overly frightened.
Lu Chen simply said “Okay,” and then turned to leave.
At the same time.
Inside the tunnel of the Prince’s Mansion.
Mu Zixuan and the Zhou sisters looked anxiously toward the top of the tunnel.
Zhou Xiaoxiao then said to Mu Zixuan, “Sister Mu, the Prince will be okay, won’t he?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou had experienced the devastation of their family being wiped out, so they were particularly sensitive to such matters. They didn’t want to return to their previous way of life. To them, the North Prince was their sky, and if something happened to the North Prince, their world would collapse.
Mu Zixuan reassured, “Don’t worry, the Prince will definitely be alright.”
Although Mu Zixuan had not personally witnessed Lu Chen using the mysterious weapon to kill a Ninth Grade martial artist last time, she had heard about it from her trusted aides afterward.
Therefore, she firmly believed that the man she married was not ordinary, and he would surely be able to deal with the assassination attempts from Blood Moon Tower with ease. They just needed to wait here.
Just then, a tall and majestic man entered the tunnel.
Seeing that it was Lu Chen, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou rushed to embrace him without hesitation.
“Thank goodness, Your Highness, you’re alright.”
“Sob sob sob, you’ve scared us to death.”
Lu Chen patted Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao on their backs and said with a smile, “Alright, it’s over. Everything’s fine now.”
