I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 65. There really was an assassin.

The two worked together flawlessly; even Li Siwen's phone was dissolved and devoured by Xia Feng's Blood Devourer, so Wang Jue couldn't possibly know it was them.

"Grab her." The king looked up at the three people in the corner.

Mu Qingtong's beautiful eyes remained calm, Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, and Mushroom's expression tightened.

A large group of guards, their iron boots clattering, quickly surrounded the three.

"I am very sorry, everyone." The king stepped forward with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold. "My daughter has committed such a grave mistake, and it is my dereliction of duty as her father."

"Take him away." The king waved his hand, and two guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mushroom's arms. Mushroom was completely stunned and screamed in a trembling voice, "No, it wasn't me! Let me go!"

"take away!"

"Wait a minute." Xia Feng pressed down on a guard's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you said Mushroom killed her, but how did she do it? What was her motive?"

Wang Jue glanced at Xia Feng indifferently: "She was unwilling to acknowledge Yue Hongli as her mother, and therefore harbored hatred towards her elder brother who forced her. This was her motive for murder."

"Huh?" Xia Feng was stunned. Isn't your motive for murder a bit too casual?
Yue Hongli should be the name of the current princess.

Wang Jue looked at Mushroom: "Red Bean, do you have anything else to say in your defense?"

The father's indifferent expression came into view, and Mushroom was jolted awake from her panic. For some reason, her emotions suddenly calmed down, and her eyes darkened slightly.

"Your Highness, do you mean that as long as I'm willing to acknowledge her as my mother, I won't be an assassin?" Her voice was low.

The king gazed at her calmly: "Naturally, that way you'll have no motive to kill."

The two people, one big and one small, stared at each other, while the surrounding guests fell silent.

Xia Feng seemed to understand something. He realized that both Li Siwen and Lister were forcing Mushroom to acknowledge her mother, and they were doing so by any means necessary.

It's outrageous that even though Li Siwen is dead, Lister doesn't care about the real culprit at all, and instead uses this incident to continue to pressure Mushroom.

It's as if the sky would collapse if the mushroom didn't recognize the red carp as its mother.

"Now I ask you, who is your mother?" the king asked condescendingly.

Mushroom took a deep breath, straightened her back, tilted her head back, and spoke loudly, unusually: "Anyway, she's not a vixen!"

She didn't actually have any ill intentions towards Yue Hongli. After all, this new princess had never bullied her. She even suspected that the princess was mentally challenged and couldn't even speak.

Because Yue Hongli rarely appears in the public eye, she only makes a brief appearance at the royal birthday banquet to let the nobles know that such a person exists.

It's more like a mascot.

So Mushroom didn't intend to target the princess; she simply didn't want the prince to get his way, even though she didn't know his true purpose in insisting that she acknowledge him as her mother.
"Take him away!" Wang Jue's face turned cold when he saw that Mushroom was still unwilling to accept it.

Xia Feng frowned, about to speak, when Wei Shutong suddenly stepped forward:
"Your Highness, extraordinary incidents should be handed over to the Holy Ministry for handling as required."

Everyone was stunned. Wang Jue was also taken aback. His eyes darkened slightly as he was about to speak when Wei Shutong took advantage of the moment to approach, raising his snake-shaped cane.

The surrounding space rippled instantly, creating nearly a hundred black dots. Countless guns appeared from all directions, their dark muzzles all pointing at the Duke's head. "Boom!!"

The fire snakes surged, and as the space trembled, the king was engulfed by the fireballs.

Everyone: "!!!?"

"Your Highness!!"

"Uncle Wei, have you gone mad?!"

In the midst of the panic, the lights flickered out, and the glass windows on all sides shattered with a bang, as a dozen or so men in black robes wearing cat-face masks broke through the windows and entered.

With lightning speed, they knocked the guards unconscious, then simultaneously bit their thumbs, drawing blood and pressing them to the ground, shouting, "Reconstruct!"

The blood instantly formed a complex array, and the entire venue began to shake violently, as if a seal had been broken, with cracking sounds constantly coming from beneath our feet.

As the flames faded, a man in black robes wearing a pure white mask appeared beneath the gun barrels, his robes fluttering in the wind. Behind him, the duke's face was grim: "Wei, Shu, Tong!"

"Old Wei, you really are something else." Zhao Jie slowly drew his broadsword, grinning. *Boom!*

The ground bricks turned to ashes in an instant, and everyone lost their footing and fell into the darkness below.

Wang Jue and the others remained standing in mid-air.

With a blank expression, Wei Shutong twirled his snake-shaped crutch, which mechanically folded into a dark-colored hunting rifle. As he retreated, he raised the rifle again, the fire spitting out like a snake.

The roaring sound continued. Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged a glance, but did not say much. At the same time, they grabbed Mushroom's arm and fell into the abyss.

"Hey hey hey! Slow down, you two slow down~~" A mushroom-like, trembling voice rang out in the air, filled with panic.

Upon reaching the bottom, the three discovered that the dark room constructed of boundless stone contained only a pitch-black tunnel.

Although he didn't know what had happened, why Wei Shutong suddenly wanted to kill Wang Jue, or what the cat-faced assassins' purpose was, Xia Feng was too lazy to care about all that. He just wanted to run away first. "Let's go."

Before long, the three of them burst out of the tunnel and were greeted by a dark and dense forest with a chilling blood moon hanging in the sky.

"The Evil Dragon Forest?"

Xia Feng looked around in confusion. This tunnel could actually bypass the Imperial Military's nuclear inspection and directly enter the Evil Dragon Forest!
There seems to be a building over there.

Xia Feng followed Mushroom's gaze and saw what appeared to be a hospital standing behind the dense foliage.

The three of them passed through the dense forest, and Xia Feng saw a plaque that was extremely familiar to him.

Pingshan Hospital

"She's over there! Grab her!"

A loud shout rang out, and the three turned around to see a dozen or so men in black robes wearing pure white masks rushing towards them. Behind the white-masked men were a dozen or so figures wearing cat-face masks, with Ragdoll cats, Siamese cats, Scottish Fold cats, and Maine Coon cats in very unusual appearances.

"Stop them!"

At the same time, a Persian cat-man descended directly from the sky to Xia Feng's front, saying, "Quick, hand over Li Hongdou to me. I'm here to help you!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Xia Feng grabbed Mushroom and turned to run away.

Clearly, both groups were targeting mushrooms.

Although the cat-faced man seems to be in cahoots with Uncle Wei, he is still not trustworthy enough.

A group of people chased them relentlessly, blocking all roads. With nowhere to run, the three had no choice but to rush into the hospital.

"There are also pale-faced people in the hospital." Mu Qingtong's gaze darkened slightly.

The group was surrounded.

"You guys go first!" The cat-faced people and the white-faced people started fighting, but didn't forget to turn back and remind them.

"You guys are acting like we're in cahoots," Xia Feng thought to himself, but he still did as he was told and quickly ran away, "Optimize!"

He took out the Forest Scepter, and ten wooden soldiers transformed into battle maniacs, giving the roadblockers a head-on blow.

Each of them possesses fighting abilities comparable to a second-tier martial arts master, making these little Karami no match for them at all.

Xia Feng, acting as an army on his own, rampaged through the hospital under the escort of the cat-faced people.

As the number of cat-faced guards around them dwindled, they finally stormed into a laboratory.

The scene in the laboratory shocked everyone. In the center of the huge circular experimental field stood an ice-blue glass coffin, with intricate gold patterns on it spreading like tree branches, like a sacred sealing formation that would forever imprison the woman inside.

The woman, dressed in a bright red divine phoenix robe, stood gracefully in the air with her hands clasped together and her bare, snow-white feet exposed. Golden light emanated from beneath her slightly closed, fox-like eyes, adding a touch of holiness to her exquisitely beautiful and charming face.

"Protect Her Highness!"

At the command, a group of pale-faced men stood guard in front of the glass coffin, their killing intent palpable.
