Chapter 907: 425: The King has passed away! Fang Qingzhuo’s Husband Annihilation Plot!_3

Finally, success!

Thankfully, Gao Yin and the others were fully preoccupied with saving Zhi Ning and her child, rather than protecting the King.

If Gao Yin, Ashi Liren, and a dozen Shadow Cabinet masters had been guarding the King,

then Li Chenglian would have had virtually no chance of success; he wouldn’t have even been able to step into Ziyu Palace, and all twenty-two super-powerful individuals would have perished outside its walls.

But assassinating the King was just the first step!

The second step, Zhi Li captured Zhi Ning and her child, threatening Suo Lun with his own kin, warning him not to act rashly.

The third step, carried out simultaneously with the second, was to widely spread the claim that the King had already passed away, that his death had only been kept secret. Now that Suo Lun had won, he fabricated the assassination of the King in an attempt to defame His Highness Zhi Li.

The fourth step, Zhi Li would pretend to return to the Wangcheng Zidu as quickly as possible, and with the support of the ministers who stayed behind in the city, he would forcefully ascend to the throne!

...

Zhi Du Sanctuary!

Before entering the high tower, Zhi Li saw red signal flares in the direction of the palace.

Instantly, he trembled with excitement!

It was done; Li Chenglian and the others had finally succeeded in assassinating the King. The dark clouds that had hung over his head had finally been lifted.

The King he had so deeply despised was finally dead!

The first step was successful, now he was on to the second!

Entering the high tower, he descended the stairs into the underground chamber.

Upon opening the door, he was greeted by three familiar faces.

His wife Fang Qingzhuo, his sister Zhi Ning, and his neatly dressed nephew, who was also Suo Lun’s son.

Seeing Zhi Li come in, Zhi Ning continued to hold the baby and gently patted him to sleep, without glancing over.

Fang Qingzhuo’s eyes, however, were fixed on Zhi Li.

She could protect the baby; she had to protect the baby.

She knew Zhi Li’s lethal secret; if his demon blood were to be revealed, he was certain to die!

But for now, she couldn’t speak out—the Holy Temple Monks here were in league with Zhi Li. If she said anything, she would be silenced.

She had to reveal the truth in front of a large crowd, where Zhi Li couldn’t silence her, and his death was assured.

So what was she to do now? How could she protect the baby from harm?

The baby couldn’t suffer even a scratch; otherwise, she would never forgive herself!

At that moment, footsteps came from above the secret room.

Turing Duo, tall and graceful, descended, her eyes bloodshot, her demeanor one of extreme excitement, like a bewitching flame burning fiercely.

"Wow, this is Suo Lun’s son, isn’t he beautiful?" Turing Duo said: "Even though Suo Lun pretends to be indifferent, his love for his family is utterly insane. For the safety of his family, he is willing to pay any price."

Turing Duo’s voice was piercingly sharp, startle the baby awake; he looked at her bleary-eyed, then pursed his lips, wondering whether to start crying.

"Wow, how adorable!" exclaimed Turing Duo, excited: "Your Highness, shall we have a cute baby like this?"

Her voice was so shrill that the baby finally began to cry softly, not wailing loudly, but whimpering.

This cry was a signal for mom to soothe the baby, or else it was going to turn into loud wails.

"Oh, good baby, don’t be afraid!" Zhi Ning soothed, gently patting him.

Turing Duo said: "The baby’s little hands are so cute, soft and fair, with fingers like little scallions. If we cut off two and sent them to Suo Lun, he would probably be scared to death, willing to agree to anything, right?"

Her coquettish voice was chilling, conveying a bone-deep malice and venom.

Her eyes, as they gazed at the baby, were filled with a crazed and deeply etched hatred and resentment.

This was Suo Lun’s son!

Suo Lun had caused her such misery; unable to take revenge on Suo Lun himself, taking it out on his son to torment Suo Lun seemed immensely satisfying!

At this moment, the baby was finally terrified, desperately hugging his mother, burying his little head in her embrace, crying loudly!
