Night fell.
The inner city of the Imperial City was still brightly lit. The high officials and nobles had begun their rich nightlife. The lights in the outer city had been turned off, and few people still had a fire on.
It was the middle of the night when a luxurious carriage drove out of the Imperial Palace.
The carriage left the palace and slowly drove through the bustling inner city, heading straight for the east gate of the outer city.
In the eastern residential area of the outer city, the eastern gate guard respectfully knelt down on one knee to welcome the arrival of the noble in the carriage.
The carriage stopped in the residential area. A beautiful girl stood out first. Her watery eyes looked around. After confirming that it was safe, she stretched out her jade arm and welcomed a handsome young man in a big cloak out of the carriage.
Seeing the young man, the Eastern Gate Guard Hu Kai did not dare to make a sound. He only used his actions to express his respect and lowered his head even more.
The soldiers behind him also showed their respect to this noble.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The young man got off the carriage and was greeted by a special wind. Who else could this aloof and cold temperament be other than Su Yuan?
"Even if I have to die."
Hu Kai led Su Yuan to Dongmin District, the place where the demon attacks were most common last night.
"The corpses were found in this area, but this humble servant has been patrolling the area for an entire day and has not found any traces of demons.”
Hong Xiu thought for a moment and asked," Could it have already moved to another place?”
"It's possible, but we haven't received any news of Magical Beast attacks in other places.”
"Hmm, what about the people?"
"The news has been sealed, and not a single word about the attack of the demon creatures has been leaked. We announced to the outside world that a few prisoners escaped here and killed people.”
"Very good."
Su Yuan said," Take me to the first place to take a look.”
"Yes, please follow me."
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the first crime scene.
This civilian house was guarded by the guards and no one was allowed to enter. The things inside were relatively intact.
As soon as he entered the house, Su Yuan's eyes began to glow with a hint of gold.
Amber Spirit Pupil Level 8!
The Amber Spirit Pupil was an extremely special ancient book. It was both a martial art and not a martial art.
It was originally kept in a book called Nightmare Pen Talks, which recorded bits and pieces of the idea of the Amber Pupil.
In the Nightmare Pen Talks, the Amber Spirit Pupil was supposed to strengthen one's eyesight, enhance one's comprehensive observation, predict the enemy's movements, and train the divine light in one's eyes to increase the deterrence of one's eyes. It was a martial art that could force one's gaze.
Simply put, it could strengthen one's eyesight and create a pair of eyes that could strike directly at one's soul. It would naturally deter the enemy and weaken their combat strength.
It was originally just an idea in a written conversation.
In the end, his Divine Comprehension integrated and optimized the ideas in the Nightmare Pen Talks, extracting the true Amber Spiritual Pupils from it.
Usually, Su Yuan basically did not need it and had almost forgotten its existence. After all, it was not a battle at the peak level. Su Yuan could directly crush it and did not need to open his eyes to observe the enemy.
The Amber Spirit Pupils opened, and Su Yuan's eyes turned into a brilliant golden color, which was exceptionally eye-catching in the night.
In Su Yuan's vision, the entire world became clear, as if it had changed from extremely fast image quality to ultra-clear blue light! Su Yuan could easily see every trace, every abnormality, and every vein in the civilian house! It was like using a microscope.
Sweeping his gaze around, Su Yuan saw the footprints in the room.
There were two types of footprints, one was very deep, and the other was very shallow.
Comparing the sizes, the one that was very deep belonged to the owner of the house. Needless to say, the one that was shallow was definitely the demon.
However, did this demon even wear shoes?
He then looked at the skinned corpse.
Su Yuan's expression became strange.
Not only did demons wear shoes, but they also had fingerprints. Weren't his hands claws?
Moreover, there didn't seem to be any of the demonic aura that made people uncomfortable.
Su Yuan had a guess in his heart.
Su Yuan retracted his gaze and said,"Go to the next one."”
After going to the next civilian house, Su Yuan looked at the traces at the scene and became even more certain of his guess.
Demons were fake, humans were real!
Someone had deliberately killed these people to create the illusion of a demon attack!
Their goal was not to lose money, so it was naturally not for money. There were corpses of both men and women, and they were all intact. It was obvious that they were not for sex. They had never made enemies with anyone when they were alive, so of course, it was not a vendetta. Su Yuan could only think of one possibility.
That person wanted to use the Magical Beast Invasion to attract someone to the scene! Only then would he have the chance to make a move.
Only the guards of the Imperial City knew about the whole thing, and the news was blocked by the guards.
If the guards of the Imperial City knew about this, they would report it to their supreme commander.
The Imperial City currently did not have a garrison general. The highest commander of the Imperial City's garrison was the Ninth Prince, Su Yuan, who held the military power of the garrison!
Therefore, his target was himself!
Su Yuan's gaze looked towards a dark corner.
He said," To lure me out, you've put in so much effort.”
"Not bad, you are more sincere than the other assassins.”
Su Yuan commented and gave this person a good evaluation.
Assassin?
When the others heard this, they quickly became alert.
Hu Kai even pulled out his long saber and stood in front of Su Yuan to prevent a sneak attack from the dark.
"You discovered an assassin?"
Su Yuan's resplendent finger light gently pointed towards the darkness.”
Bang!
The point of light shattered the wall of earth in the darkness.
A black-robed man with a maple leaf printed on his front walked out of the darkness with a cold gaze.
Seeing this person, Hu Kai frowned." Someone from Autumn Wind Brothel!”
Autumn Wind Brothel was the largest assassin organization in Great Xia. It was also the most lawless organization.
This organization dared to accept any mission! He dared to kill anyone!
For example, he had obviously accepted the mission to assassinate the Ninth Prince.
"How dare you set up a trap to assassinate His Highness!”
