Supreme Return

Chapter 183 Zi Nuo Injured, Holy Shadow Assassin

"What? Empress Zi Nuo was assassinated and injured?"

Another two days passed, and when Chu Xuan heard the news, his complexion changed immediately.

This is by no means good news!

"what happened?"

Chu Xuan looked at Xiao Yue with a slight expression on his face.

"The details are not very clear!"

Xiao Yue shook her head lightly, and said, "I just received this news too, about three hours ago, it seemed that two groups of assassins attacked one after another, making Empress Zi Nuo and her accompanying guards relax, and then ..."

"Master, Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace immediately!"

Xiao Yu came over at this moment.

"Okay, I got it! I'll go right away! Lan'er, follow me into the palace! Xiao Yu, you guys continue to let me investigate, I want to see who did it!"

Chu Xuan ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately after the women agreed, he took Zhou Lan into the palace quickly, and in the side hall, he saw Zhao Qingtian, the Emperor Qingtian, who was sitting upright with an ugly look on his face.

Next, there is Chu Xiaotian who has been busy with military affairs during this time.

"Uncle, father!"

Chu Xuan yelled, pulled Zhou Lan to sit beside him, and then asked, "Uncle, what's going on? How could Empress Zi Nuo be assassinated? Or two groups of assassins in succession?"

"Xuan'er, you know it too!"

Zhao Qingtian said bitterly and helplessly, "I also ordered the Dark Dragon Guard to investigate the specific situation, but there is no result yet! But one thing is certain, it should be aimed at our Qingyun and Ziyan countries at the same time!"

"Sowing discord between the two countries? Don't want us to form an alliance?"

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Very likely!" Zhao Qingtian nodded.

"Is that what people from the Xuelan Empire did?" Chu Xuan continued to ask.

The three major empires on Mowu Continent are Qingyun Empire in the East, Ziyan Empire in the South, and Xuelan Empire in the North.

In terms of national strength, the Xuelan Empire is the weakest one.

But no matter how weak it is, it is still a powerful empire, forming a tripartite confrontation with Qingyun and Ziyan!

If Empress Zi Nuo was injured and the relationship between the two countries broke down, or even a war broke out because of this, then the Xuelan Empire would undoubtedly be the most profitable one.

"But, will the Xuelan Empire be so obvious?"

Chu Xuan frowned and said, "And the most important thing is that two groups of assassins attacked one after the other this time. Could this be their intentional arrangement, or is it just a coincidence?"

"That's not clear!"

Zhao Qingtian and Chu Xiaotian looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Then what should we do now? Uncle, don't you plan to visit Empress Zi Nuo in person?" Chu Xuan asked.

"I originally planned to go, but Empress Zi Nuo sent someone to say that it is inconvenient to see guests right now, so I can only stay temporarily!"

Zhao Qingtian shrugged, then sneered, "I'm afraid they still have doubts about us!"

"How about I go and have a look?"

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then said softly.

"Xuan'er, are you going?"

Zhao Qingtian was startled, while Chu Xiaotian frowned beside him and said, "Xuan'er, is it right for you to go? After all, the other party is the ruler of the Ziyan Empire!"

This is some unequal identity!
No matter how favored Chu Xuan was in front of Zhao Qingtian, he was only the son of King Chu after all, and he was indeed not equal to Empress Zi Nuo's Supreme Emperor.

"It's just to take a look, it's nothing!"

Chu Xuan stood up, "Uncle, father, don't worry! I understand how to deal with it!"

"That's good! Xuan'er, I will leave this matter to you to investigate. No matter who it is, you must catch it for me as soon as possible!" Zhao Qingtian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, uncle!"

Chu Xuan nodded, then took Zhou Lan's hand and walked out.

This time I came and went in a hurry, and I stayed in the side hall for less than an hour.

"Lan'er, what do you think of this?"

After leaving the palace, Chu Xuan asked Zhou Lan.

"It's not easy!"

Zhou Lan narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said with red lips, "If it were me, I would never send two groups of assassins to attack one after another! Even if I want to be safe, it is impossible to use the same method!"

After a pause, Zhou Lan narrowed her eyes and continued, "And the most important point, if I remember correctly, this is the first time Empress Zi Nuo encountered an assassin when she went out to play in the city. It seems that she sent it to her door on her own initiative. It's a coincidence, it's a bit too coincidental."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Chu Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and narrowing his eyes, "Lan'er, what do you mean...acting? Well...if that's the case, then their purpose is to put pressure on us so that I can get rid of it as soon as possible." Give them the cultivation method of Samadhi True Fire?"

"It's not impossible!"

Zhou Lan lightly shrugged her fragrant shoulders, but Chu Xuan's expression changed several times, and then he continued, "Forget it, let's not think about it! Let's talk about it!"

"Ok!"

Zhou Lan nodded slightly, followed Chu Xuan, and quickly walked towards the special palace arranged for Empress Zi Nuo.

…………

"Your Majesty, the prince of Chu is here! Did you see it?"

In a certain room of the Palace, Empress Zi Nuo was lying on the bed, her pretty face was a little pale, and her abdomen was wrapped with obvious gauze. Although the blood had stopped, it could still be seen that the injury was serious.

But after all, she is a saint-level powerhouse, and her psychological quality is not generally high. Coupled with her own strength, she still has the look of a queen in her brows, especially the cold light in her beautiful eyes.

But at this moment, upon hearing the guard's report, Empress Zi Nuo had a strange look in her eyes, and said helplessly, "Please come in!"

"But Your Majesty, your body..."

"It's okay! This prince of Chu cannot be missed, he is the key to the success of our trip!"

Empress Zi Nuo shook her head, and the guard had no choice but to take orders and leave.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Beside, Zimo is also here, but now he hesitates.

"nothing!"

Empress Zi Nuo shook her head lightly, "There is no need to continue to hide your identity now!"

"All right!"

Zimo nodded, walked over and gently helped Empress Zi Nuo up and sat down, after all, the majesty of the lord of a country cannot be lost at any time, even if the injury is serious.

Soon, Chu Xuan and Zhou Lan came, and after a few salutations, they sat down as guests and hosts.

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Chu Xuan asked.

"It's not bad. Although the injury was serious, fortunately it wasn't fatal. It's a pity that my guards lost their lives to protect me!" Empress Zi Nuo couldn't help sighing, a little bit remorseful.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will do my best to capture the assassin as soon as possible!" Chu Xuan said.

"His Majesty Qingyun entrusted you to handle this matter?" Queen Zi Nuo asked.

"Yes!" Chu Xuan nodded.

"I can rest assured that!"

Empress Zi Nuo nodded slightly, then pointed to Zi Mo beside her, and said, "I don't think she needs more introduction from me, right? With your son's intelligence, I'm afraid she has already guessed!"

"Hehe...Miss Yan, oh no, it should be Miss Zimo, hello!" Chu Xuan nodded and said with a smile.

"Master Chu knows my name?" Zimo was taken aback, and even Empress Zi Nuo couldn't help being a little startled.

"Wearing purple clothes, I can't say anything. If I still can't guess this, wouldn't I be too stupid?"

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Zimo should be Her Majesty's biological sister, right? The current commander of the Redbud Army of the Ziyan Empire is also one of the people Her Majesty trusts the most!"

"It seems that Mr. Chu knew my identity early on!"

A wry smile appeared on Zimo's face, "Poor me, I think I'm pretending so much!"

"Miss Zimo, you're being polite! I'm just lucky!"

Chu Xuan waved his hand, exchanged a few words with Zi Mo, then turned his head to look at Empress Zi Nuo again, and said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, do you have anyone to suspect about this assassination incident?"

"Have!"

Originally, Chu Xuan was just asking as usual, and didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Empress Zi Nuo to be very happy and nodded directly.

"Oh? Who is it?" Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Holy Shadow Assassin Wu Ying, also known as Wuying! He is an assassin with holy power!" Queen Zi Nuo replied.

"Wu Ying?"

Chu Xuan frowned.

He had heard of the name of the Holy Shadow Assassin, and it was said that three holy-level powerhouses had died under his command. It was even said that if he was given enough time to prepare, even the god-level powerhouses might not be able to escape his assassination.

This is the number one assassin recognized among the mainland powerhouses!

It's a pity that no one has seen the Holy Shadow Assassin.

It is impossible to know whether it is a man or a woman, how old it is, how tall or fat it is.

So at this time, after hearing what Empress Zi Nuo said, Chu Xuan couldn't help asking, "How did you know it was him, Your Majesty?"

"because this!"

Empress Zi Nuo gestured to Zi Mo, and Zi Mo took out something from her waist and handed it to Chu Xuan and Zhou Lan.

This is a small black metal sword, shining with black light, especially the material is extremely cold, the moment it is held, it seems to make the blood in the body cold.

"This is the symbol of the Holy Shadow Assassin!"

A cold light flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes, while Empress Zi Nuo nodded and continued, "A few seconds before the Holy Shadow Assassin makes a move, there will be a habitual action, which is to send this small sword in front of the stabbed person! It is a kind of provocation, but until now it has become like a life-threatening talisman! Now, no one dares to pretend to be the Holy Shadow Assassin!"

"It looks like this is getting more and more exciting!"

Chu Xuan's heart sank for a while, and after a pause, he asked again, "By the way, Your Majesty, you have been assassinated twice. How many times was this Holy Shadow Assassin's attack? The second time?"

"Yes!"

Empress Zi Nuo nodded, but a strange flash flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Chu Xuan didn't notice it, but Zhou Lan saw it very clearly, making the corners of her mouth slightly raised suddenly, as if she understood something.

"Then what about the first time? Who were the first assassins?" Chu Xuan continued to ask without noticing.

"That's not clear, but those people are not strong, and they can't possibly pose any threat to me!"

Empress Zi Nuo said in a condensed voice, "So, please ask the prince to help find the Holy Shadow Assassin! I won't bother the prince for other matters!"
