Chapter 294 - 294 Stealing Kills

294 Stealing Kills

“Keyboard fishing, straight rod salty bait?”

As Noble Consort Ning listened, she felt confused. Even with her knowledge and experience, she was still a little lost at the moment.

What kind of board was a keyboard?

Why could it be used to fish for all things in the world?

However, just as she was in a daze, she saw the fisherman suddenly flick his fishing rod high in the air and threw the crystalline fishing line through the calm surface of the pond.

The misty royal pond suddenly started surging!

“Your Highness, be careful!” the two palace maids screamed loudly.

“Noble Consort Ning, please take a look.”

The moment Feng Xia swung the fishing rod, he had secretly activated the Mysterious Art of Creation.

On the tip of the fishing hook, he quietly simulated the aura of the demon deity Yu Qianji. Like an invisible bait, it created invisible ripples!

While keyboard fishing, those who were willing would take the bait!

Boom—

Thousands of huge waves suddenly appeared on the originally calm royal pond, as if an invisible storm had erupted. The waves struck the sky like angry dragons rolling and roaring!

“Your Highness, stay behind us—”

The two palace maids screamed again.

In the next moment, even Noble Consort Ning’s expression changed.

She clearly saw that at the bottom of the royal pond, one red carp after another seemed to have been stimulated and they jumped into the air one following the other. Their flesh and blood melted together and quickly formed a 100,000-foot-tall demon deity!

When Feng Xia saw this, he was also shocked.

“Goodness me, so this guy is made up of all these red carps!”

Earlier, he had been a little worried that his trick would not work, or that the red carp that Yu Qianji had transformed from was not in this area at all. He knew that the moment he took action, it was very likely that he would be drowned by the swarm of palace guards the next moment!

It would not be so easy to sneak into the palace next time.

“This guy really has enough backup plans. Every red carp is its incarnation. This way, it doesn’t matter if any red carp meets with an accident. As long as there’s still one left, he can transform into his true form in the eighth year and destroy the entire Lingyun Kingdom!”

Feng Xia came to a realization.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly recalled that in his first round, this Noble Consort Ning had mentioned a mysterious incident that happened in the palace, when more than half of the living beings in the palace had been attacked. No matter how the Lingyun Emperor investigated the incident, he could not find the attacker.

“It can’t be such a coincidence…”

Feng Xia was flabbergasted.

If his guess was correct, the mysterious incident that Noble Consort Ning mentioned was most likely carried out by the Lingyun Emperor himself. He had secretly eliminated the threat of Yu Qianji, allowing the plot to progress peacefully to the 10th year during the first round!

“But why wasn’t Yu Qianji eliminated during the second round…”

Suddenly, Feng Xia thought of a possibility.

During the first round, he took advantage of his short periods of consciousness to plant some memories into the 16th Prince. However, during the second round, he did not manage to do so because he had become a tree!

“In other words, during the first round, the 16th Prince was brainwashed by me and became a good person who worked hard. During the second round, he was brainwashed by the demon deity Yu Qianji and degenerated into the demon deity’s lackey…”

Given that he was brainwashed either way, this 16th Prince’s fate could indeed be considered quite tragic.

“That’s right. Although Yu Qianji is a demon deity, his strength is clearly incomplete when he transforms into a carp. His soul skills might not be above mine! After I brainwashed the 16th Prince, the Lingyun Emperor most likely discovered something abnormal, so he thoroughly checked out the entire royal pond and then found Yu Qianji…”

“Then what about the second round? At that time, I didn’t do anything. Yu Qianji hid until he recovered his strength, so he successfully brainwashed the 16th Prince this time without being noticed by the Lingyun Emperor.”

Thinking of this, Feng Xia’s smile widened and he silently gave Yu Qianji a thumbs up.

Good brother, take the blame and leave!

All his thoughts were completed in a flash.

At this moment, above the surging royal pond, the phantom of the demon deity had completely solidified. It was 100,000 feet tall and emanated a vast and terrifying aura that pressed down on the world. Even the sun in the sky was suppressed until it became dim.

At this moment, Feng Xia was already prepared to make a run for it.

However, in the next moment, the demon deity phantom arched its back slightly and fell to the ground with a plop and flicked its body like a carp.

At the same time, a few palaces in the palace were hit. There was a bright explosion and then they shattered into ruins.

Feng Xia: “…”

“Demon… Demon deity…”

Finally, Noble Consort Ning yelled out as her face paled.

On the day that the 16th Prince was about to be born, a demon deity phantom actually descended on the Lingyun imperial palace. Could this old man in front of her be a lackey of the demon deity?

Immediately after, she heard Feng Xia’s laughter.

“Your Highness Noble Consort, I’ve already caught the fish that will bring destruction. As for what happens next, it will depend on your country’s own ability.”

“Wait a minute—”

Noble Consort Ning had only just shouted when Feng Xia’s figure gradually faded. Then, he quickly dissipated into the air, leaving no trace of his aura.

Noble Consort Ning stood rooted to the ground in a daze. However, very quickly, she suddenly shuddered and cried out, “This is a good opportunity! Something has happened to this demon deity! Find His Majesty immediately and then activate the palace’s array formation!”

“I already know about it.”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking.

A figure with an authoritative aura crossed the sky and arrived. His entire body was enveloped in divine light. He raised his hand and threw a punch, causing the void to tremble violently. Boundless magical power gathered into divine chains of Great Dao that were like blades and swords as they blasted towards the fallen figure!

“Demon deity Yu Qianji… Hmph! The Xuantian Sect has reached its hand too far out!”

The Lingyun Emperor snorted coldly and punched out without holding back. In the blink of an eye, he killed the defenseless demon deity.

At this moment, Feng Xia had already returned to the First Prince’s residence. With a wave of his hand, he transformed himself back into the First Prince. Sensing the commotion in the direction of the palace, he revealed a satisfied smile.

“When you’re done, just leave and hide your achievements.”

He smiled faintly and sat down beside a pavilion in the courtyard. “This is probably what it feels like to be a good person doing good deeds.”

There was a more important thing.

He looked at his hand. There was an unconscious red carp there.

After confirming that all the red carps were Yu Qianji,’s incarnations, he secretly brought one out.

By now, the commotion in the palace had subsided. This meant that Yu Qianji, who had turned into a demon deity but was still a salted fish, had most likely been killed by the Lingyun Emperor.

“You might be able to make a profit, but I’ve never lost anything.”

Like now.

It was time to steal the kill.
