Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

As Zhou HaoChen's words fell, the commotion within the Li residence grew even more intense.

Dense cold air erupted from the Li residence, so thick it seemed to freeze the very void.

Immediately following, a miserable scream suddenly echoed from within the Li residence.

"Who are you, you insignificant scoundrel?"

"How dare you commit murder in Jade Capital City?"

This miserable scream came from Li Changhe himself, and even just hearing his voice, one could sense the fear beneath his bravado.

"Hmph—"

"Li Changhe, today is your day of death!"

A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out, echoing in the dark night.

This female voice was different from the Guanghan Fairy of the daytime, lacking some of its clarity and possessing more of a sense of vicissitude.

Before Zhou HaoChen could react, He Lianhai beside him exclaimed in surprise.

"It's actually her!"

"Who is it?"

"The Ice Soul Fairy."

"Your old flame?"

"Cough cough—Your Highness, don't speak nonsense. This woman is very fierce."

Zhou HaoChen: … …

He could almost see He Lianhai kneeling on a washboard.

Boom—

The sound of a wall shattering suddenly exploded, like a mountain collapsing.

Immediately following, a figure flew backward…

To be precise, was blasted away.

Li Changhe's body, like a cannonball, was blasted away, heavily crashing to the ground, directly creating a pit several dozen feet in diameter, accompanied by the muffled thud of a heavy object landing.

"Hmph—"

"Li Changhe, those who commit many injustices will meet their end."

"What have you done? Don't you know?"

The cold female voice rang out again, like the millennia-old mystic ice of the far north.

Li Changhe bitterly smiled.

I've done too many dirty deeds.

If you don't tell me, how would I know?

At this moment, Li Changhe was regretting it to the extreme.

If there were a regret pill, he would be willing to take leave on the spot and buy one.

He never imagined that the beautiful enshrined guest he had welcomed with such high spirits during the day would become the cause of his demise.

"Senior, give me a hint!"

"Hmph—"

"To not even know where you went wrong, what use are you?"

As soon as the words fell, the Ice Soul Fairy's figure flashed, suddenly appearing in front of Li Changhe.

Her speed was as fast as a ghost, leaving only a trail of afterimages in the air, like white gauze.

By the time Li Changhe could clearly see the Ice Soul Fairy's figure, the Ice Soul Fairy's jade hand was covering the top of his head.

In an instant, Li Changhe understood the Ice Soul Fairy's plan.

Soul Searching!

This venomous woman actually wanted to search his soul?

Li Changhe was so frightened that his face turned pale. Those whose souls were searched would, nine times out of ten, die on the spot. The best outcome would be to become an idiot.

More importantly, the process of soul searching was incomparably painful, akin to a human torture.

"I—"

Li Changhe shouted sternly, wanting to reverse his cultivation technique, but he heard a disdainful laugh in his ear.

"Thinking of committing suicide at this time?"

"Too late!"

The next second, Li Changhe's eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

The Soul Searching technique was like a stirring rod, churning Li Changhe's soul.

Soon, only mush was left in his brain.

While the Ice Soul Fairy was searching Li Changhe's soul, He Lianhai exclaimed in surprise.

"Eh?"

"It's gotten smaller?"

"What's gotten smaller?"

"Chest!"

"I remember before, the Ice Soul Fairy's chest was even broader."

Zhou HaoChen curled his lip. He was certain that He Lianhai was showing off.

Although the Ice Soul Fairy wore a veil, just looking at her graceful figure, one knew she was an unparalleled beauty.

He Lianhai had actually measured her cup size!

Sure enough, there was something fishy!

Zhou HaoChen glanced in the direction of the Ice Soul Fairy.

Others might not know the Ice Soul Fairy's purpose, but Zhou HaoChen knew it clearly.

It was mostly for the Xuanyuan Blood.

It's just that this method was too crude.

Directly searching the soul!

Soul Searching wasn't omnipotent!

Not all memories in the soul could be searched out.

Soul Searching often only retrieved a portion of the memories.

It was very likely that some parts would be missing.

Zhou HaoChen didn't interfere, but the Li residence's commotion quickly attracted the constables from the Town Demon Division, the Ministry of Justice, and Yingtian Prefecture.

A dense crowd of constables surrounded the Li residence, sealing it off completely.

However, no one dared to break in!

Even Li Changhe, at the peak of the Ninth Realm, had been dealt with so miserably. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble for these small fries to break in?

The Ice Soul Fairy inside the Li residence finished her soul search, glanced at the encirclement outside the Li residence, and seemed to realize that a giant net was coming towards her.

Before the Third Realm experts of the imperial court arrived, the Ice Soul Fairy tapped her toes, stepped into the air, and walked by the moonlight.

Before leaving, she uttered a soft shout.

"The murderer is Xuanyuan Blood!"

Hearing the words left behind by the Ice Soul Fairy, Zhou HaoChen's expression became strange.

This woman was quite cunning.

Placing the blame on Xuanyuan Blood, confusing the line of sight.

The most crucial thing was that Xuanyuan Blood couldn't stand up and prove his innocence.

After the Ice Soul Fairy left, Zhou HaoChen got up and said to He Lianhai.

"Let's go, we'll go to the Li residence."

"Hopefully, there will be extra gains!"

Zhou HaoChen went downstairs and soon arrived at the periphery of the Li residence.

When the constables on the periphery of the Li residence saw Zhou HaoChen, they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone.

Although the Thirteenth Prince was not favored and his reputation was far less than that of the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, and others.

But a prince was still a prince, and they all belonged to the "master" level of big shots.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The constables present all saluted.

"No need to salute, you will accompany me inside to investigate."

"As you command."

Zhou HaoChen led the people and walked into the Li residence in a mighty manner.

The Li residence was a mess, with more than half of the buildings being reduced to wreckage.

On the contrary, the casualties were not large. The Ice Soul Fairy didn't indiscriminately kill the innocent, but rather, her target was very precise, targeting Li Changhe.

Zhou HaoChen had a clear purpose. After entering the Li residence, he went directly to Li Changhe's study.

If Li Changhe was Xuanyuan Blood's man, then perhaps clues could be found in the study.

Arriving at the study, he ordered the constables to search the study.

Soon, a letter clipped in the books aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Your Highness, this official will help you read the letter."

A demon slayer from the Town Demon Division stepped forward and took the initiative to volunteer.

Seeing this scene, the others cursed this person's opportunistic skills in their hearts, saying they were unparalleled under heaven.

"Read!"

Zhou HaoChen said, and the demon slayer opened the letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, it was as if he had corns on his eyes, wishing he hadn't seen the contents of the letter.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"Your Highness… this… this…"

"Read!"

Under Zhou HaoChen's command, the demon slayer could only bite the bullet and read the contents of the letter.

However, the contents of the letter greatly disappointed Zhou HaoChen.

The contents of the letter were actually asking the Grand Chancellor, Ning Wang, to say good words to the Qian Yuan Emperor, so that he could be promoted to the position of Chief of the Hanging Mirror Division.

Hearing half of it, Zhou HaoChen lost interest and said lightly.

"Burn it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The demon slayer breathed a sigh of relief and burned the letter in a fire.

The other officials in the study also pretended to be deaf and mute.

Who am I?

What did I just hear?

I didn't hear anything?

Letter?

Where is the letter?

It's all your hallucination!

Who would dare to speak too much about the affairs involving the Grand Chancellor, Ning Wang?

Who didn't know that Ning Wang was the Qian Yuan Emperor's younger brother and also the Qian Yuan Emperor's most trusted imperial brother.

Afterwards, Zhou HaoChen had everyone search again, but unfortunately, there were no findings, nor was the jade stone for Thousand Mile Communication found, which made Zhou HaoChen quite disappointed.

"If Li Changhe is really Xuanyuan Blood's man, perhaps the jade stone for Thousand Mile Communication has already fallen into the hands of the Ice Soul Fairy."

Just at this moment.

The jade stone for Thousand Mile Communication suddenly flashed with light.

Zhou HaoChen quickly dismissed everyone, and then looked at the contents in the jade stone.

[Taotie: Kunpeng is dead, the token has fallen into the hands of outsiders. If Kunpeng contacts you, do not believe it! Do not believe it! Do not believe it!]

Zhou HaoChen suddenly discovered that a third person had suddenly appeared in the small group that originally only had two people—Taotie.

From the other party's address, one could know that this was also Xuanyuan Blood's man.

His status might be even higher than that of Kui Niu.

Was this the level of authority that Mo Sihai spoke of?

Zhou HaoChen immediately reacted. The Thousand Mile Communication in Taotie's hand was a Earth-grade Thousand Mile Communication with higher authority, so he could directly join the group.

As for the Kunpeng he spoke of.

Zhou HaoChen glanced at the outside of the house, at Li Changhe who had just been covered with a white cloth, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Kunpeng's corpse is right in front of me!

[Yisi: Lord Taotie, who killed Lord Kunpeng?]

Seeing Yisi's reply, Zhou HaoChen almost couldn't help but laugh like a pig.

Who killed Kunpeng?

Would you, Yisi, not know?

Still pretending to be completely unaware, fooling Taotie.

Zhou HaoChen also joined in, taking out his Oscar-level acting skills.

[Jiachen: Lord Taotie, we must avenge Lord Kunpeng. As long as you give an order, even if it means going through mountains of knives and seas of fire, I won't frown.]

[Taotie: I am very satisfied with your loyalty. However, the person who killed Kunpeng is highly skilled and not someone you can deal with.]

[Yisi: Lord Taotie, who exactly died at the hands of Lord Kunpeng? If we know, we can also be more vigilant.]

[Taotie: The murderer, even if I don't say it, you will know tomorrow.]

[Taotie: It was the Ice Soul Blind Woman who did it.]

[Taotie: This venomous woman actually dared to show up, her guts are really not small!]

[Taotie: Remember, this venomous woman is very much at odds with our Xuanyuan Blood. If you encounter her, run away immediately, you can abandon the mission.]
