Chapter 69: Prince Thai's Conspiracy
"It seems like they won't give up so easily."
Seeing Yun Tianhe and others leaving in shame, Xiao Muyu also walked over with Ling Yin, with a hint of worry on her pretty face.
Ling Chen shook his head. "Yun Tianhe and I have had a feud for a long time. Even if I don't do this today, do you think they will let it go?"
"makes sense."
Xiao Muyu nodded. With Yun Tianhe's personality, he would probably try every possible means to get rid of Ling Chen. The feud between the two of them was probably endless.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she whispered, "Ling Chen, do you think the black-clothed man we met in the hunting ground has any connection with Yun Tianhe and the others?"
"Probably not."
Ling Chen frowned, then shook his head, "I feel like it's another group of people, but I don't know who they are."
"You have many enemies. I'm afraid you will be safest only if you stay in the Shenyi Gate." Xiao Muyu said thoughtfully.
"Yeah?"
Ling Chen's eyes became deeper. Is Shenyi Gate an absolutely safe place? But at least for now, this should be the safest place.
…
The capital of the Kingdom of Wind, Prince Thai’s Palace.
Two figures could be seen in the courtyard, one of whom was Prince Tai himself.
"Li Tai, I have heard about the incident at Cuiyu Tower."
The person opposite Prince Tai was Li Tai, whom Ling Chen defeated in Cuiyu Tower.
"Ling Chen humiliated you severely in Cuiyu Tower and didn't take you seriously at all. Do you plan to just let this go?"
Prince Tai looked at Li Tai in front of him and smiled gently.
"Of course I can't just let it go like this. I wish I could kill that guy and take off his head and kick it like a ball." When Li Tai mentioned Ling Chen, his face darkened and he said in a cold voice.
"Haha, this is the nature of young people. I wonder what you are going to do?" Prince Tai's eyes also showed a hint of coldness, and he said lightly.
"I want to ask someone to do it, but this guy is very powerful. Even Princess Kaguya was defeated last time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for an ordinary killer to take his life." Li Tai said with a frown.
"Besides, he is hiding in the Divine Will Gate now, and there is no chance for him to strike."
"Well, your analysis makes sense."
Prince Tai picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "But I recommend a place to you. The assassins there can easily kill Ling Chen even if he stays in the Divine Will Gate."
"Where?" Li Tai's eyes lit up.
"Black market, Shadow Building."
Prince Tai's eyes narrowed, and a sharp light shone out, causing Li Tai to shiver.
"Shadow Building? This..."
Li Tai looked shocked, then hesitated. Shadow Tower was not an ordinary place, it was an assassination organization affiliated with the black market. It could be said that it was irreconcilable with the court of Wind Country, because the assassins of Shadow Tower would often assassinate some high-ranking officials of the court, and even royal relatives, and the court had no way to deal with it, so it had long ago issued a decree that anyone who colluded with Shadow Tower would be killed without mercy.
Although there are still many people secretly connected with the Shadow Building, they will be in trouble once they are discovered.
"Why, are you scared?"
Seeing Li Tai's expression, Prince Tai also smiled coldly, "If you are afraid, forget it. It's not a big deal. It's just being humiliated and losing face. There is no substantial loss."
"I'm not afraid. It would cost a lot to hire assassins from Shadow Tower. With my financial resources, I'm afraid I can't afford assassins of that level."
A hint of murderous intent emerged in Li Tai's eyes. This kind of mental insult was much more serious than physical injury.
He was one of the "Ten Great Men of the Capital" and had been crowned with the aura of a genius since childhood. How could he have ever suffered such an insult?
"Don't worry about this. If you can't afford the price, I can help you." At this time, Prince Tai also showed a smile on his face, "Li Tai, I admire you very much. It was really because Ling Chen was too bullying that I decided to help you."
"Well, since the prince has said so, if I continue to be shy, I would be unmanly."
Li Tai has wanted to kill Ling Chen for a long time, but with his current ability, it is basically impossible to do it. Asking assassins from the Shadow Building will definitely be foolproof, and with Prince Tai to help him, it is simply a godsend.
"Well, you are worthy of being the genius that this king has chosen. Once you kill Ling Chen, your inner demon will be resolved, and you will no longer have any bottlenecks in your cultivation in the future."
Prince Tai nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go down and prepare it now."
Li Tai bowed to Prince Tai and then stepped back.
Looking at Li Tai's retreating back, the smile on Prince Tai's face slowly faded.
With assassins from the Shadow Building taking action, Ling Chen will probably not be able to escape this time.
Prince Tai had a sinister smile on his face. He certainly couldn't help Li Tai for no reason. His real target was still Ling Chen himself. He just wanted to get his magic ape blood back.
As for why he let Li Tai come forward, the reason was very simple. He had failed once. If he failed again, someone might suspect him. This time he used Li Tai to do it. Even if by some chance the matter of hiring the Shadow Building killer was exposed, it would not be traced back to him.
This Li Tai is a very suitable scapegoat.
This matter has nothing to do with him.
"Ling Chen, Ling Chen, I have really put a lot of effort into killing you."
Prince Tai's eyes turned grim. He could never have imagined that the plan he had painstakingly set up in the hunting ground would fail. Not only the Green Demon, but even the three assassins he sent out died at the hands of Ling Chen. This was simply unbelievable.
But that was the fact. Ling Chen swaggered out of the hunting ground, and only the corpses were left of the assassins he sent out. He originally suspected that there was someone secretly protecting Ling Chen, which made him inevitably a little cautious. However, in Cuiyu Tower, Ling Chen easily defeated Li Tai, who was a third-level martial artist, and made Prince Tai give up this idea.
Ling Chen still had to be killed, and this time, it had to be done cleanly and quickly.
As soon as he thought of this, Prince Tai suddenly waved his hand, and with a "swish", a black shadow stood behind him.
The shadow bowed slightly, "What do you want, my lord?"
“Notify our insider in Shenyi Gate and have him bring me his body after the people in Shadow Building have dealt with Ling Chen.” Prince Tai said.
"yes."
The black shadow clasped his fists. This should not be a difficult task. Ling Chen is just an ordinary disciple now. If Ling Chen was still the son of the sect master, stealing his body would be impossible. But now, if it was just stealing the body, it would be easy.
