"Whose prank is this? The Demon Cult's experts want to kill me? I'm still useful to the Demon Cult, so how could they possibly clean me up?”
When Sima Xiu Hao saw the contents of the note, his first impression was that someone was playing a prank, but after thinking about it, he felt that someone was secretly messing with him.
"I can only think of the Prime Minister and King Dongwu when it comes to the note. It's very likely that my opponent this time is either the Prime Minister or King Dongwu.”
"They found out about my relationship with the Demonic Sect. Now they want to trick me or have some conspiracy waiting for me.”
Sima Xiu Hao was also a smart person, thinking about how he had previously used a small note to mess with the Prime Minister and King Dongwu, he boldly guessed that this small note came from one of those two.
"You want to mess with me? Hmph, then I'll wait for your arrival.”
Sima Xiu Hao didn't care if the person who was dealing with him was the Prime Minister or Dongwu King. If they wanted to deal with him, then it would depend on whose methods were more brilliant.
The little note said that there would be a Demon Cult expert taking his little life tonight. The Demon Cult expert might be fake, and the killer might be real. Sima Xiu Hao didn't dare to play around, after all, it was about his little life.
Thus, he gathered the experts in the residence to secretly protect him in case anything unexpected happened tonight.
As night fell, the lights in the Grand Commandant's Mansion were brighter than ever.
The number of guards and thugs patrolling had also increased significantly. At this moment, the Grand Commandant's Mansion was heavily guarded, and any slight movement could cause a commotion.
Sima Xiu Hao was currently writing and drawing in his study room. Time slowly passed, and after an unknown amount of time, Sima Xiu Hao felt that something was wrong.
It was too quiet!
There were quite a few people patrolling the entire Grand Commandant's Residence. Although there had been little movement before, there had been at least a little movement. But now, there was not a single movement at all.
"Butler, butler…"
Sima Xiu Hao called out a few times to the outside but no one responded, he was a bit flustered.
"Men, men…"
The butler did not respond, so he began to call for the experts who were secretly protecting him. In the end, no one responded.
At this moment Sima Xiu Hao knew that things had gone too far.
"Lord Grand Commandant, it's late at night. If you scream like this, you'll disturb others.”
Huang Dongjie held a handful of melon seeds in his hand, munching on them as he walked unhurriedly into Sima Xiu Hao's study.
" It's you, King Dongwu!!!"
"You…How did you do it? There are more than a thousand people in the Grand Commandant's Residence, and there are also a few grandmasters protecting me in secret. How did you make them disappear without a trace?”
Sima Xiu Hao stared at Huang Dong Jie as if he had seen a ghost. No one responded to his calls, which meant that the people from the Grand Commandant's Residence were all gone.
Silently killing more than 1,000 people was something that even a martial grandmaster could not do. How did King Dongwu do it?
"Why don't you suspect that you're dreaming or that you've been hit by an illusion?”
Huang Dongjie smiled and didn't answer. He liked to see others being stupid and flustered.
"King Dongwu, are you insulting me or mocking me? Can't I tell if it's a dream or an illusion?”
Sima Xiu Hao gritted his teeth in anger at Huang Dong Jie's arrogant appearance. He lost, but he was not convinced.
"That's all. I wanted to see you beg for mercy, but people like you are very tactless. You don't give others any hope at all.”
Huang Dongjie did not see what he wanted and was a little disappointed.
"Hahaha, although I don't know how you did it, with such a method, my loss is not unfair at all.”
"Last question, how do I compare to Prime Minister Chen Huaijiang?”
Sima Xiu Hao also knew that he would die for sure, so he couldn't be bothered to struggle anymore. He inexplicably wanted to know how he compared to his old enemy, Chen Huai Jiang.
"Two old foxes, equally matched. What's there to compare?”
Huang Dongjie replied casually.
"If that's the case, then I won't have wasted my time in this world.”
Sima Xiu Hao sat back on his seat and slowly closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting for death.
"How boring!"
Huang Dongjie was rather bored when he saw this, and directly spat out a melon seed skin from the corner of his mouth. Sima Xiu Hao's head was directly blown off by the melon seed skin.
"Now that things are settled in the capital, I hope that there will be plenty of beautiful scenery in the martial arts world that I can admire.”
Huang Dong Jie had left the capital after finishing his business, but with Sima Xiu Hao's death, the entire Great Xia Empire was completely shaken.
At daybreak, when someone discovered that Sima Xiu Hao had died in his own residence, the gates of the entire capital were immediately sealed.
The Royal Guards, the Southern Patrol Department, the Northern Patrol Department, the Dali Patrol Department, and other institutions were all in operation. This made the ordinary people in the capital feel insecure.

"Elder Chen, who do you think did it?”
Huang Minglong rubbed his temples and asked.
"As soon as something happened to the Grand Commandery, King Dongwu left the capital. King Dongwu is very suspicious.”
Chen Huaijiang said after some thought.
"You said that it was Fifth Imperial Uncle who did it. How is that possible? Fifth Imperial Uncle has such great power.”
"More than a thousand people from the Grand Commandant's Residence disappeared without a trace overnight. There were no signs of them alive or dead. There was not even a trace of a fight in the Grand Commandant's Residence.”
"You said Fifth Imperial Uncle did it. How did Fifth Imperial Uncle do it? Could it be that Fifth Imperial Uncle was really a backup plan left behind by the previous emperor, and that he had hidden the secret troops left behind by the previous emperor?”
Huang Minglong was also confused by Chen Huaijiang's answer. He had a complicated headache regarding Fifth Imperial Uncle.
The Fifth Imperial Uncle was the old fox that he could not see through and was the most difficult to deal with. He always felt that everything was controlled by the Fifth Imperial Uncle.
"This old minister is also unable to determine whether King Dongwu is a backup plan left behind by the previous emperor, but one thing is certain. King Dongwu is not a threat to Your Majesty.”
"Otherwise, with Dongwu King's hidden strength, if he had second thoughts, the Great Xia Empire might have collapsed long ago.”
Chen Huaijiang was also conflicted with King Dongwu because he could not guess what King Dongwu wanted to do.
"Fifth Imperial Uncle is really too much. Of all people he could kill, he just had to kill Sima Xiu Hao. Don't tell me he doesn't know that Sima Xiu Hao is a chess piece of the Devil Cult and we still have to use Sima Xiu Hao to deal with the Devil Cult.”
"He's too much of a bastard. He ran away after doing something. Fifth Imperial Uncle is really..."
Huang Minglong was really annoyed by Huang Dongjie's actions.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter? The Grand Commandant is equivalent to our face. If he is killed in his own territory, if we don't handle it well, we will be laughed at by the world.”
"Deal with my ass, don't tell me I'm going to tell the world that the one who killed Sima Xiu Hao was Fifth Imperial Uncle, isn't that slapping my own face even more?”
"Isn't there an unspoken rule in the martial world? No matter what bad thing it is, as long as the source can't be found, then this bad thing is tacitly admitted to be done by the Demon Sect.”
"Anyway, the Demonic Sect has always been the target of the Jianghu people. It doesn't matter to the Demonic Sect if they take on another burden.”
"Pass down the order. Tell them that this was done by the Demonic Sect. We'll just clean up a few unimportant strongholds of the Demonic Sect.”
"As for Fifth Imperial Uncle, it would be better if he left the capital. It would be best if he never returned to the capital.”
