Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 225: The Royal Family Strikes Again

Zhu Jing, the leader of Zhuhai Pavilion, is quite famous in Sun Moon City.

Not only does her own soul power reach level ninety-seven, making her one of the strongest people in the entire Sun-Moon Empire, but the Zhuhai Pavilion under her is also a formidable force.

"Why is Pavilion Master Zhu here today?" The leading soldier's attitude became much better when he saw Zhu Jing.

"When and where do I need to report to the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire?" Zhu Jing's voice was arrogant but cold.

"I was invited by someone from Shrek Academy today. I happened to have a cousin here, so I came to visit him. Does this bother the royal family?"

"Haha, Pavilion Master Zhu, you are joking. But it's not a good idea for you to stay here in the middle of the night." The soldier rolled his eyes and said unintentionally, "Besides, something big happened in Shrek Academy tonight."

"What's the big deal?" Zhu Jing's acting skills were obviously much better than his, and she pretended to know nothing.

"This..." The soldier hesitated for a long time, "I shouldn't have told you this, but I'm sure with Pavilion Master Zhu's information, you will know it by tomorrow at the latest."

"The dean of Shrek Academy and a Title Douluo-level elder were killed in the academy tonight."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Zhu Jing didn't seem surprised. "Are you doubting me?"

"We dare not." The leading soldier shook his head quickly. "With Pavilion Master Zhu's prestige, he would never do such a thing."

"However, the guy next to you is very suspicious. We would like to ask him to cooperate with our investigation." As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject and pointed at Fang Chang who Zhu Jing was leaning against.

"You mean him?" Zhu Jing laughed. "My cousin is just a Soul Emperor. You said he killed two Title Douluo from Shrek Academy?"

"We just suspect that he has this suspicion. It is also my duty. Please don't make things difficult for me, Master Zhu." The soldier clasped his fist towards Zhu Jing, as if he had made up his mind to take Fang Chang away.

"Hmph, your suspicion that he killed the dean of Shrek Academy is false. The real point is that you want to take advantage of the opportunity to seek revenge, right?" Zhu Jingquan didn't buy his talk and cursed back.

"It's because when my cousin was in Spider God Academy, he had a conflict with a junior named Xu Sheng from your Sun Moon Empire royal family, and accidentally beat him to death."

"And Xu Sheng is Prince You's bastard son. I guess he was the one who asked you to come here? He was also the one who sent those assassins last time, right?"

This... When Zhu Jing pointed out their purpose, the group of fake soldiers were panicked for a moment.

Although their lineup is strong, how could five or six Soul Saints dare to provoke a Titled Douluo of level 97?

Of course, what Zhu Jing said now were actually what Fang Chang taught her secretly through telepathy. She was just repeating what she heard in her heart.

"It seems that Pavilion Master Zhu is not planning to hand over this kid tonight..." Despite this, several soldiers still refused to leave.

"What? Even if Prince You comes himself, I'm not afraid of him. You little minions want to try my fist tonight?" Zhu Jing glanced at them with a sneer and made a "get out" gesture.

The soldiers looked at each other, sighed, and could only leave in shame.

After they left, Zhu Zhu, who had been standing aside with her back to them, suddenly collapsed. She was worried and wanted to laugh at the same time, with all kinds of mixed emotions, and she almost couldn't hold it back.

"It seems that the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire has intervened." She frowned and looked at Fang Chang and Zhu Jing lying on the bed.

"Yeah." Zhu Jing nodded. "After all, two Title Douluo died in the Imperial Capital. Anyone would be wary."

Seeing that she was not nervous at all, Zhu Zhu looked a little helpless, "Sister, you are exposed like this tonight, are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, my Zhuhai Pavilion is deeply rooted in the Sun Moon Empire. Even if they really find out that this matter is related to me, they dare not easily attack me without evidence."

Zhu Jing then looked at Fang Chang and said, "Little brother, you forced them to retreat this time, but they will probably come to trouble you again in the future. Prince You has always been protective of his people, and he won't let you go so easily after you killed his son."

"Why don't you just be straightforward and become my husband? I don't know who dares to touch you."

"Thank you for your kindness, big sister. I can still deal with a mere member of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire." It was obvious from Fang Chang's words that he did not take the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire too seriously.

Even a powerful Spirit Hall like the one in the past was destroyed by him in the end, let alone the Sun-Moon Empire.

However, speaking of the Sun-Moon Empire, Fang Chang thought of another important thing. In the original book, the Sun-Moon Empire had a close relationship with the Holy Spirit Church.

And the Demon Emperor of the Living Spirit Cult, to some extent, has some grudges against him.

No matter what happened to the Tang Sect, let's find out the truth first. After all, all the signs now showed that there seemed to be a huge conspiracy hanging over the Spider Cult and the Spider Clan, which made Fang Chang feel very uneasy.

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and early the next morning, a large number of Sun Moon City defenders poured into Shrek Academy and blocked all the roads in the academy.

Even teachers and students in the college were under martial law and were not allowed to enter or leave at will.

Apart from the places where the contestants lived, the imperial guards searched almost every other place in the academy, but they couldn't find any traces.

Fang Chang has always been clean in his actions. The royal family will naturally know the cause of death of the two deans of Shrek Academy last night.

Being able to kill two Titled Douluo silently overnight is a terrifying strength, and being able to force them to commit suicide by taking poison is even more terrifying.

Zhu Jing intervened in the investigation of this matter by using his identity as the head of Zhuhai Pavilion.

According to her, she was invited by the dean to watch the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.

He also produced a letter of invitation written by the dean himself, which made it seem reasonable for her to stay here, and the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire also had an excuse to drive her away.

Joining them in the investigation were the leaders of several other major forces in Sun Moon City. There were now five or six Titled Douluo in the academy alone, and the situation was quite frightening.

That is, taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhu Jing was held back by several other Titled Douluo, the prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Prince You, Xu You, really attacked Fang Chang again.

This time, he took advantage of the chaos to once again send out a killer, sneaked into Fang Chang's bedroom, and stabbed directly at the bulge in his bedding.

But he soon realized that he had been tricked. There was only a pillow wrapped in the quilt, and no trace of Fang Chang.

At this moment, Fang Chang was in Zhu Zhu's room. He saw this scene through his spiritual sense and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is not the end yet. He took the opportunity to activate the trap he had set up in his room and stabbed a flying needle containing a highly poisonous substance into the killer's shoulder.

The killer realized that he had failed and hurried away. However, as soon as he reached the door of their residence, he lay down unconscious.

The assassins sent by the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire died tragically at the doorsteps of the residences of the participating teams from various colleges, and this happened in such a sensitive matter.

This incident sparked a new round of discussion.
