Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1127 - 151: Certain Kill

At the premier inn of Saint Hua City, the eighth floor of Moon Fairy Tower.

At this moment, the eldest son of King Zhenan of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, Yuan Qian, was here enjoying wine and conversation with Lu Xin, the direct disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, and accompanied by Red Phoenix, one of the top ten beauties of the spiritual realm and the holy maiden of the Underworld Sect, creating an exceptionally lavish scene.

The two men took turns toasting and drinking, engaging in eager conversation, and were further attended by eight beautiful women, marking a truly joyful gathering between the host and guest.

"Brother Yuan, come, I'll toast to you once more," Lu Xin said with a smile, lifting the aged wine of Moon Fairy Tower and downing it in solidarity with Yuan Qian.

Clearly, Yuan Qian's assistance in dealing with Gu Chen was also a favor that Lu Xin gratefully acknowledged.

Seeing this, Yuan Qian naturally understood, and after half a month since Lu Xin arrived in Saint Hua City, he had finally succeeded in closing the distance between them.

"Hahaha, it's just a trifle, Brother Lu need not take it to heart," Yuan Qian laughed heartily as he raised his glass and likewise drained it in one gulp.

Perhaps the wine was getting to his head, for after drinking this cup, Yuan Qian laughed more freely and said, "That Gu Bai is worth shit, just an ant after all, thinking that a bit of talent allows him to soar to the skies? Without the slightest status, he even dares to provoke Brother Lu. With just one command from me, he'd be dead before dawn—who'd dare keep him till the fifth watch?"

"With the power of my Yuan family in the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, my word is law, absolutely inviolable! For me, Yuan Qian, to want someone dead, it couldn't be easier, humph!" At this moment, Yuan Qian's face was flush with red, clearly somewhat inebriated as he started boasting loudly.

Of course, what he said wasn't entirely wrong. King Zhenan indeed held one of the foremost positions within the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, wielding immense influence, where a gesture of his hand had far-reaching effects.

"Hahaha, Brother Yuan speaks the truth. Not just within the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, but in the entire spiritual realm, who doesn't know, who isn't aware of King Zhenan's reputation?" Lu Xin's face was also brimming with smiles as he turned his gaze toward Red Phoenix not far away, saying, "Miss Red Phoenix, what do you say?"

Red Phoenix, having just finished dancing, responded with a charming smile and a soft voice, "Of course, there are countless young ladies in the world who admire the young prince."

As she said this, her gaze flitted over Yuan Qian with such allure that it nearly whisked his soul away.

The Underworld Sect, although only a holy land without supreme warriors, maintained good relations with many top-tier forces. As the holy maiden of the Underworld Sect, who often mingled in the mortal world, Red Phoenix naturally had appropriate means to deal with all kinds of men.

Especially for someone like Yuan Qian, who was deeply indulgent in pleasures, it was all too easy to play him like a fiddle.

Just as Yuan Qian was laughing arrogantly, full of pride and conceit, a servant from King Zhenan's household suddenly rushed in frantically.

At this, Yuan Qian immediately showed displeasure, feeling that his moment of glory had been interrupted, and he sternly reprimanded, "What is the meaning of this panicked entrance? Haven't I said that without my order, no one is to enter rashly, who gave you the guts to barge in!"

Holding his white jade wine cup, Lu Xin said with a faint smile, "Brother Yuan, don't be hasty, perhaps there is some good news."

Yuan Qian, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow and looked at his servant, saying, "What is it, Gu Bai has been dealt with? If he's dead, just find a place to dump the body, or chop it up and feed it to the dogs—it's such a trivial matter, do you really need to consult me?"

As he spoke these words, it was completely natural, evidently, Yuan Qian was no stranger to such dealings.

Red Phoenix sat to the side, observing the servant from King Zhenan's household, her beautiful eyes flickering with uncertainty, sensing that something was amiss.

The servant looked somewhat panicked and now whispered a few words into Yuan Qian's ear.

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qian was unable to sit still any longer, his complexion dramatically changed, and he stood up abruptly, acting as restless and anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Young prince, you'd better go back and see for yourself," the servant from King Zhenan's household said with a nervous face, sweat beading on his forehead.

"How... How could this happen?"

Yuan Qian was clearly flustered, and the effects of the alcohol quickly diminished—if what the servant said was true, it could spell serious trouble!

Consequently, Yuan Qian, who couldn't afford the slightest hesitation, hurriedly left the place, casting all concerns aside.

He even forgot to bid farewell to Lu Xin and Red Phoenix.

"It looks like something has happened," the holy maiden Red Phoenix remarked, her expressive eyes turning towards Lu Xin.

Clearly, she was hinting at something, guessing that it might be related to Gu Chen.

As the heir to the Seven Stars Sect, Lu Xin was prideful yet not foolish, quickly catching on to the situation, his expression growing colder as he said, "It seems, I will have to take matters into my own hands and personally see to his end."

Upon hearing this, Red Phoenix gave a seductive smile and softly said, "It seems, Mr. Lu is quite confident."

Lu Xin gave her a glance and replied, "If I make a move, he won't survive, for opportunities, I only give once."

...

After settling the matter, Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu escorted Gu Chen out from the tribunal of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

When he went in, Gu Chen had followed Yuan Qian's men through back alleys, but as he came out, it was through the front door, boldly and upright.

Surely Yuan Qian had not anticipated that Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu would arrive so swiftly, for otherwise, the Holy Brilliance Dynasty might have already been turned upside down at this point.

The young prince's intention had obviously been to cut the Gordian knot, to directly have Gu Chen killed, which, in turn, would leave no witnesses, and his word would be the only truth.
