Fallen Devil: The Resurrection of the God of Death

Unprofessional Attacks

Lin Xuan said and thought so. This was only a minor issue in imperial politics in usurping the position of crown prince when such a faction was created. Moreover, it is clear that these allegations cannot be proven validly.

“I thought so, but prince Han Yifan sent me home for a while and asked me to come back in a week.” Xia Xinran said in the carriage.

Hearing that, Lin Xuan assumed that Han Yifan's prince was just about making Xia Xinran calmer and unencumbered by anything. The problem is, even when sent home, Xia Xinran looks so difficult and can not pretend to calm down, let alone been given time for one week.

Actually Lin Xuan didn't want to prepare naively by meddling in the political matters of the empire and the city empire. Even he thought it could result in a civil war that could put the Han empire on the verge of collapse.

Moreover, he had absolutely no connection whatsoever with the empire, or the Xia kingdom. There was no return of gratitude as well which made Lin Xuan unnecessarily interfere.

But looking at Han Yifan's condition, where the prince is a prince who is quite weak, but he looks able to manipulate the circumstances around. Making Lin Xuan a little interested. He wanted to make Han Yifan return the favor of something to him bigger. Not a treasure, a strength, but a support.

The prince's brain could play, and indeed did not rely on strength and cultivation. But it was a pity that Han Yifan was killed by the first faction of the imperial court. So what happens is that the palace will be filled by a foolish leader who just makes a ruin.

“Mr princess watch out!”

An explosion from the right side of the carriage, right at Lin Xuan's seat. And swiftly, Lin Xuan himself grabbed Xia Xinran which made them flung out of the carriage simultaneously. Likewise with Wue Yei who was immediately sprightly outside while putting up a horse.

The royal soldiers had also been quickly defeated so they had fallen. This allowed for a surprise attack from outside. Even inside, it was clearly impossible because everyone who was guarding the entourage had been defeated in an instant.

But it did not rule out the possibility that the explosion released smoke in the form of drugs or poison that is able to paralyze them in an instant. It was fortunate that neither Lin Xuan, Wu Yei or Xia Xinran were exposed to the smoke.

Lin Xuan stood in front of Xia Xinran. Highlight his eyes look focused to find the whereabouts of someone or maybe more who became the main perpetrator in this sudden attack.

“A-what happened?” Xia Xinran asked with a worried face.

“Only small problems. Don't worry princess. Wue Yei, take good care of the princess.” Said Lin Xuan while glancing backwards.

He also darted backwards, towards the figure of the masked man who was about to unsheatheat a sword towards princess Xia Xinran. Fortunately it was prevented by Lin Xuan who directly strangled the person. Then, Lin Xuan slammed it on the ground causing a crack to the ground.

“Arghhh!”

“Can someone send a dragon to kill the dragon too?” Asked Lin Xuan to someone who felt quite a heavy pain.

But, a formation was created through the seal of one's hand. Forming a transparent high prison that locked Lin Xuan and the others. It was proven there were four other people standing at each corner to form a square formation to make Xia Xinran's daughter not run away.

Lin Xuan looked around. Then he drew the death-century sword to destroy all the formations that imprisoned him or Xia Xinran and Wu Yei.

But had yet to realize where Lin Xuan had gone, one of the more aware people. It was quickly that the heads of his three comrades had already detached from his body. And, a few milliseconds after, he saw Lin Xuan's figure maneuvering right before his eyes by swinging his sword obliquely.

Then he felt himself falling. But on the other hand he saw his body still standing with the top that poured out a fresh blood. And after that, he realized that he had been decapitated.

“Ce-fast once.” Slow reaction.

Princess Xia Xinran was stunned. Lin Xuan's abilities seemed incomparable. It made Xia Xinran feel curious as to what exactly the cultivation stage belonged to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan went back to someone who was still alive earlier. His body was unable to move with such overwhelming fear. Even behind the mask looks so pale because it feels free to run if the opponent has such speed.

He unmasked the person, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man who looked pale and full of fear. Especially when looking at Lin Xuan's flaming and sharp eyes was like there was a huge figure behind him.

“Master, can I tear this guy apart?” Hei Long asked who was inside Lin Xuan.

“This is just a small problem. I'll call you if there's a big problem.”

“I understand my lord.” The answer.

Returning to focus, Lin Xuan dragged the person to either Xia Xinran or Wu Yei. To get information by interrogating him. Moreover, in that torture session it was really fun for Lin Xuan himself.

“Say, is your destination is princess Xia Xinran?” Asked Lin Xuan curiously.

The person nodded weakly, while answering stuttering, “I .... Yes.”

Xia Xinran closed her mouth as if in disbelief. Though he never offended anyone, but why did he become the target of someone's murder? It made Xia Xinran grit her teeth in annoyance and asked, “Who is the main culprit.”

Lin Xuan who was all over quickly, he placed the tip of his sword right on the person's neck as a threat if he didn't want to answer. It triggers a considerable fear in the person.

It was clear that the person was not a good hit man. Because even if the person is really reliable, it is certain that he will take a suicide pill because he does not want to tell them a piece of information.

So he answered, because it has to do with life. “Han Tan, prince of the first faction. He did this so that there would be no more contact with Xiazing city, so he told us to kill the fiancee of prince Han Yifan. In addition, king Xia Bao would allege that Han Yifan could not keep princess Xia Xinran.”

Xia Xinran was quite shocked. Though he was only a fiancee, but why was he suddenly dragged into the matters of imperial politics?
