Chapter 742: Plan Suspended

The arrival of the princess made Chen Xiao exit the state naturally and hurried to open the door. However, after this period of time, his state has also improved a lot, and he has recovered to 30% of his strength. After some adjustments, it will not be difficult to recover.

Not being injured is the main reason for being able to recover as soon as possible.

"Princess, did you find out anything from the interrogation?" Since the princess came to find her, the interrogation of the three martial gods has been completed.

However, facing Chen Xiao's question, the princess shook her head and said, "The three martial gods have all swallowed poison and committed suicide."

"Committed suicide?" Chen Xiao was surprised, and couldn't help but think of the assassin he met before. That person also swallowed poison and committed suicide immediately after being caught. Could it be that this group of martial gods and the assassin are the same group of people?

Chen Xiao thinks this possibility is very high.

But now that all three survivors have committed suicide, there is no clue to find the mastermind behind the scenes. This is a headache.

"However, although we didn't get any clues from the interrogation, we still found something." The eldest princess spoke again, "Those guys are all outsiders, none of them are from the sea clan."

"All outsiders?" Hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately began to think about what kind of strength could send more than a dozen martial gods at once. Among them, Ling Xiao's extermination of the sect was included.

According to Chen Xiao's knowledge, extermination of the sect is definitely the most likely one.

But the eldest princess didn't seem to think about extermination of the sect: "I have asked people to collect all the bodies of these people, although I didn't find anything useful from them. However, I can still roughly guess who planned this ambush."

Chen Xiao was a little surprised: "The eldest princess already knows who it is?"

"It's basically confirmed. However, without evidence, I can't do anything to that guy." At this point, the eldest princess frowned. After a while, she relaxed her brows and looked at Chen Xiao and spoke again: "Anyway, thank you Mr. Xiao for saving me today. I will handle the rest of the things myself, so I don't need to trouble Mr. Xiao anymore."

Thank you sincerely again.

"In addition, if Mr. Xiao is willing, I really hope that Mr. Xiao can join me. With your strength, I can guarantee that you have a position in the Sea Emperor Sect that others cannot reach." The eldest princess invited Chen Xiao again. On the way here, the eldest princess invited him more than once.

Chen Xiao shook his head decisively: "Grand Princess, I have already said that I don't want to have too much involvement with your Sea Emperor Sect. I am here only because I promised someone to help take care of the Sea Emperor Sect. When the time comes, I will leave the Sea Emperor Sect."

The time that Chen Xiao mentioned is naturally when the outer domain is opened. Calculating the time, half of the three months have passed, and the time for the outer domain to open is getting closer and closer.

"Well, then. I won't force Mr. Xiao." The eldest princess showed a disappointed expression, "Then Mr. Xiao, you should have a good rest first. I will have someone come to invite you to dinner later. Tonight, I want to thank Mr. Xiao for saving my life."

As she said, the eldest princess turned around and left...

The news of the eldest princess's assassination spread quickly. As soon as the news came out, many people in the sea clan were shocked, and they hated the assassins! Most of the commanders said that they would do their best to find out the assassins and the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, in a courtyard somewhere, a man sat on a stone bench in the courtyard with a very ugly face.

It was right for him to look ugly. After all, none of his arrangements had achieved the expected results. Instead, it was not just a simple failure of the action, but even his people were killed!

He had finally arranged those people with his own energy, and now they were all gone at once. This was no longer a matter of heartache, but his entire plan was completely messed up! It was completely impossible to continue to execute it!

"No. With the intelligence of the eldest sister, she will definitely think of me. At that time, it will inevitably be another trouble. I have to think about what to do." The man frowned. And the eldest sister he mentioned was not someone else, but the eldest princess Hai Qiu who was assassinated.

This man was the fourth prince of the Sea Emperor Sect, Hai Baifan.

After pressing his temples, the fourth prince felt that he had a headache. He took the cup of hot tea on the stone table with his right hand. The faint tea fragrance made him relax his tense nerves a little. After a few sips of hot tea, he felt much more comfortable.

Just at this time, two subordinates rushed in at the same time.

"How is it? Have you found out the situation?" Without waiting for his subordinates to speak, the fourth prince asked first.

One of the subordinates immediately reported: "Reporting to the fourth prince, the eldest princess has already found out the situation. According to the guards who rushed over, from the time they heard the fighting to the time they went over, there was only a short period of 20 to 30 breaths. And after they went over, they saw a lot of god-level corpses."

The answer of the subordinate surprised the fourth prince. A group of martial gods were killed in such a short time. This is too weird! Moreover, he knew very well that there was no god-level guard around the eldest princess at that time. If more than a dozen god-level guards took action, they could definitely kill her in the first place.

This arrangement was also the most confident step of the fourth prince!

But who would have thought that this last step would fail so thoroughly!

"Apart from these, is there nothing else?" The fourth prince asked again. Given the situation of the eldest princess at that time, it should be impossible to kill those martial gods.

"This..." The subordinate thought for a while, "The guard also said that at the scene, in addition to the eldest princess's people and corpses, there was also a human with the eldest princess."

"Human? Who is it!" Hearing the word human for the second time, the fourth prince immediately became nervous, and at the same time, a figure immediately emerged in his mind.

"I have inquired about it. It is a human who came to the imperial city with Miss Hai Lanxin." The subordinate immediately replied. As he said this, the fourth prince's face showed an expression of understanding.

Then, the fourth prince looked at another subordinate. This person went to inquire about another assassin.

"Report to the fourth prince, according to the description of the hall guard, when they went in, they saw the queen, Hai Lanxin, and a human." The subordinate immediately reported what he had inquired about. And what he said made the fourth prince couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temple.

Without asking, he had already thought of who that human would be.

Unexpectedly, his two-step plan was ruined by him.

Frowning for a long time, the fourth prince spoke again and ordered his two subordinates: "Arrange it and stop all current plans."

"Understood." The two subordinates took the order and left at the same time.

Watching his subordinates leave, the fourth prince's expression was very ugly. If possible, he really didn't want to stop his plan, after all, he had finally come to this point. But under the current situation, the plan could not continue at all. The only thing he could do was to wait, wait for the forces that supported him to send people over again...
