Chapter 248: Chapter 247 Turmoil

If it hadn't been for Pretty Girl, he would never have taken such a risk. However, he also believed that after this incident, Pretty Girl's trust in him would undoubtedly increase by a fair amount.Soon after they completed the assassination, the discovery of the bodies of Flash Leopard King and his group caused an immense uproar in Jiali City.

Peacock Demon King was the first to receive the news.

Upon receiving the message, he was extremely shocked. Another dead?

Before, it was the King of the Wind Wolves and the eldest son of the Diamond Bear King, and now it was the Flash Leopard King's turn. What made it the most helpless was that this assassination happened right after it had finished a meeting. It would be impossible not to be suspected.

Flash Leopard King had just declined his support and then died upon leaving. This made others wonder what was going on.

"Report, City Lord. The two Deer Demon Kings have arrived."

"Let them in," Wang Qing said with a heavy voice, massaging his temples.

Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King and Golden Deer Demon King almost entered at the same time.

As soon as Golden Deer Demon King stepped in, he couldn't help saying, "City Lord, Flash Leopard King is dead. This... isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Although Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King did not speak, his brow was deeply furrowed.

Golden Deer Demon King continued, "The city is already in a state of unrest. City Lord, we shouldn't have acted so hastily. This will cause chaos. Moreover, it will lead people to connect the previous two incidents to you!"

"If I say it wasn't me, would you believe me?" Peacock Demon King said calmly.

Golden Deer Demon King was taken aback, "Not you? Then who has the strength to kill Flash Leopard so silently? It was not far from reaching God Rank and had always hoped to lead its clan to new heights after the breakthrough. Therefore, it was always very cautious. While it wasn't exactly good-natured, its strength was certainly stronger than King of the Wind Wolves. To be honest, even if Spirit Rhinoceros and I wanted to kill it, it wouldn't be easy."

"We have examined the crime scene, Spirit Rhinoceros, you tell it."

Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast nodded, "The scene was cleaned up very neatly, hardly any elemental waves residue left in the air. It's not easy to deal with elemental waves so thoroughly. Also, judging from Flash Leopard's condition, there were no signs of a struggle, yet the wounds were very gruesome. There was a huge penetrating injury in the chest, seeming like it was inflicted by a heavy weapon. The neck had been slashed open by sharp claws, severing both main arteries and the central nervous system. Most of the blood from its body had been drained as well. Judging from the scene, it should have been killed swiftly, virtually done for after one encounter."

"Even for a God Level Demon King, killing it in such a swift manner would be very difficult. After all, even if Flash Leopard wasn't particularly powerful, its evasion and escaping abilities were top-notch. To be utterly unassailable and struck dead in one hit, the power of a Great Demon King is the most likely explanation."

Peacock Demon King said, "Since you left, I've been right here, and you know that best. You had just departed not long ago. Based on the timing, do you think I could have made it?"

Golden Deer Demon chuckled bitterly, "We do believe you're clean, but there's more than just one Great Demon King within the Peacock Tribe. The rumors have already gone wild outside. The whole city is starting to descend into chaos. The Flash Leopard Clan is collecting the body, and even more Flash Leopards are congregating there. If we don't handle it promptly, things might get out of control. Diamond Bear, Blazing Demon Lion, Red Fox... they've all gone there too. There's a sense of shared grief among them. If this matter isn't handled well..."

Peacock Demon King spoke indifferently, "Let's go, follow me there."

Saying so, he stood up and strode out. Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King and Golden Deer Demon King quickly followed suit.

Once out of the hall, the three Great Demon Kings soared into the sky, heading straight to the scene of the incident.

Suddenly, as they surveyed from above, they could see an area where several streets were already filled with Demon Race individuals, with Flash Leopard Monsters making up the majority, as various clamors and shouts echoed from all directions.

The outer circle teemed with onlookers, while the inner ring was dominated by the Flash Leopard Monsters, with the imposing figures of the Blazing Demon Lion King and the Diamond Bear King clearly visible.

The Peacock Demon King descended from the sky and landed on the wall beside the street.

A massive oppressive force burst forth from its body, instantly quelling the surrounding noise, and all eyes converged on it.

"The City Lord has arrived; make way," the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King commanded in a deep voice.

The Flash Leopard Clan's powerhouses looked towards the Peacock Demon King, their faces mostly showing hatred, clearly aware that the Flash Leopard King had refused the City Lord's recruitment during the meeting.

These members of the Flash Leopard Clan showed no intention of making way at all.

As the Peacock Demon King descended from the sky, without any visible action, a vast area around it was pressed outward by an overwhelming force.

Not just the Flash Leopards, even the Blazing Demon Lion King and the Diamond Bear King were sent flying, their expressions drastically changing.

In the narrow roadway, along a stretch about fifty meters long, apart from the corpses on the ground, only the Peacock Demon King, the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King, and the Golden Deer Demon King who had followed behind remained.

"City Lord, you!" A Flash Leopard Clan's powerhouse exclaimed harshly. But in the next instant, it was suppressed to the ground.

"Those who draw conclusions before clarifying the matter, kill!" the Peacock Demon King stated indifferently, its gaze then falling on the Diamond Bear King and the Blazing Demon Lion King.

Both Demon Kings shuddered, with even the proud Blazing Demon Lion King subconsciously bowing its head.

In fact, when they first saw the Flash Leopard King's corpse, their initial reaction was shock, followed by a mix of horror and anger. And now, with the arrival of the Peacock Demon King and its dominance over the scene, a sense of tremor was added to their inner turmoil.

The Flash Leopard King's death was too tragic, and it had happened so quickly. Just moments earlier, they were still speaking and meeting together. In the blink of an eye, they were on opposite sides of life and death. The Flash Leopard King, devoid of divine consciousness, couldn't even leave behind a trace of remaining consciousness, utterly dead.

The Peacock Demon King crouched down to inspect the Flash Leopard King's corpse, examining it carefully, especially the wounds and even conducting a certain inspection of the Flash Leopard King's head.

Moments later, it stood up and said to the Diamond Bear King, the Blazing Demon Lion King, and the Flash Leopard Clan's temporary leader, "Come over."

The Red Fox Demon King, who had been lurking in the distance, had already come closer, whispering, "Let's not be impulsive, everyone. Let's see what the City Lord has to say first."

The many Demon Kings gathered around the Peacock Demon King, who said indifferently, "I've just inspected their bodies. They were all inflicted by a powerful weapon that pierced through them. This matches the way the Bear King's family was ambushed. It must be the same group of enemies. And the enemy who struck this time must be even stronger."

"Although the traces have been cleanly eradicated, I can still sense some clues left in the air. There are spatial fluctuations, which means, traces of spatial attribute energy remain."

At these words, the surroundings erupted in an uproar. The Peacock Demon Clan are undoubtedly the best at utilising the power of space! Isn't this an inadvertent confession?

"Silence," the Peacock Demon King commanded with a cold shout, once again suppressing the crowd with its presence, the powerful bloodline pressure causing a strong sense of shivering among the Demon Kings nearby. They all knew the Peacock Demon King was strong, but they did not know the extent of its strength.

The Peacock Demon King continued calmly, "There are spatial fluctuations, but there are also fluctuations of other elemental energies. If I'm not mistaken, there are changes in luck and distortions in time. Although all the remnants are slight, I can confirm they must exist. Besides that..." It paused, sweeping its gaze across the faces of the Demon Kings present, "A powerful individual with Spiritual Power has launched an attack on it. Its Sea of Spirit was subjected to a strong impact before death."
