Chapter 472 - Wang Xinyue's Conjecture

Chen Residence, Chen Zhicheng's certain concubine's room.

Chen Zhicheng drank while complaining to his concubine about Wang Xinyue's actions. When he realized that he had been poisoned, he realised that there was a lady standing opposite him who was filled with killing intent.

"Who are you?" He forcefully pretended to be calm and forcefully maintained his imposing manner of a Chen family's Patriarch as he asked. He did not know that the girl in front of him was the Cui Xiyan that he had summoned a few days ago, because Xiao Qianhan had long since changed his appearance once again.

"The person who killed you." Xiao Qianhan naturally would not be fooled by Chen Zhicheng. This was because she had just dug a small hole in the ground to release the poison.

"How dare you!" You know who he is, how dare you brazenly say that you want to kill him! He is the Chen family's patriarch, with your insignificant cultivation, stop dreaming! The Patriarch can crush you to death with one finger! " The concubine took the opportunity to speak with a face full of arrogance.

Before Xiao Qianhan could even speak, a small black figure flashed past. The moment the figure appeared on the concubine's face, it instantly disappeared, as if it was a streak of black lightning.

"AHH!" The concubine screamed in fear, but when she touched her face and saw the blood on her hand, she was stunned. In the next instant, a heart-wrenching pain appeared on her face. My face! Patriarch, my face! "

Surprisingly, there were three scratches on the concubine's face. There were wounds on each side of her face. The wounds were very deep and had penetrated her mouth. Her skin and flesh was being turned outwards. It looked quite creepy.

"Xiao Miao, you are awesome! That concubine's mouth is too cheap. I wanted to take action. " Qian Zi praised Xiao Miao satisfactorily.

Xiao Miao arrogantly raised her head, walked to the place where she slept, and immediately fell asleep, ignoring Qian Zi.

Xiao Qianhan chuckled in her heart. However, when she heard his concubine's shriek, she frowned slightly. This sound was too loud, and would easily attract others. But just as she was about to attack, Chen Zhicheng suddenly stood up with force and pushed his concubine towards Xiao Qianhan's direction. She was about to take the opportunity to run out.

Chen Zhicheng was poisoned, his entire body was weak, and with that, he had almost used up all of his energy, and his forehead was covered in perspiration. Just as he ran two steps, he fell to the ground without needing Xiao Qianhan to do anything.

Xiao Qianhan's mind moved, the broken sword in her hand instantly appeared, with a flash of cold light, the concubine fell down, breathless.

In the next moment, the broken sword was right on top of Chen Zhicheng's neck.

Chen Zhicheng's entire body stiffened, he did not dare move, "heroine, heroine, spare me. You came to me for nothing more than money. Tell me what you want. As long as I, Chen Zhicheng am able to do it, I will definitely fulfill your request. "

Xiao Qianhan raised her brows, glanced at Chen Zhicheng who was on the ground, and said indifferently: "I only want one thing."

"What is it?" heroine, please speak! " Hearing that, Chen Zhicheng immediately had hope. He wasn't afraid of the other party's request. As long as there was a request, there was a possibility to fulfill it. If there were no requirements, that would be the real problem.

"I want your life!" Xiao Qianhan said each word coldly, and as the last word of his fell, the broken sword in his hand quickly slashed across Chen Zhicheng's neck. Instantly, Chen Zhicheng's head fell to the ground, blood spurting out all over.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a servant, under the orders of his ancestor, arrived at her concubine's courtyard to invite the clan head over. However, as soon as he opened the door, the scene before him gave him a fright. With a loud shout, he stumbled out of the courtyard and ran in the direction of the ancestor.

And at this time, Xiao Qianhan had long since returned to her residence, and silently laid down. The other maids had already fallen asleep, and no one had noticed them.

On the other side, Wang Xinyue was not feeling sleepy at all.

If what Chen Zhicheng said was true, then there must be a traitor amongst those servants. During the day, she had already carefully checked them one by one, but there were still no results. Then that person would definitely be among the remaining servants. As long as tomorrow came, they would be able to find the traitor.

And tonight, the Chen Mansion was under martial law, so the traitor had no chance to leave. Otherwise, once the traitor wanted to escape, he would have locked onto the target.

But, what if Chen Zhicheng was wrong?

The opening of the formation was an extremely taxing task that required a large amount of spirit energy and energy. Even your esteemed lord would not be able to maintain the formation for several days in a row, let alone a Chen Ancestor. If that traitor took advantage of the closing time to escape from the Chen residence, then even if she searched through the remaining servants, she would still find nothing.

Did that person have anything to do with the girl that Your Eminence was concerned about? If not, then it didn't matter if he could catch the traitor. If it was related, then she had to find that traitor!

Suddenly, one of Wang Xinyue's servants knocked on the door and came in to report a piece of news.

Wang Xinyue's gaze suddenly wavered, and was extremely surprised, "Where did this news come from, is it reliable?"

"Madam, your subordinate saw it with his own eyes. When I saw a servant of the Chen residence running over, I became even more confused. Hearing that the servant kept talking about the death of the Patriarch, he turned around to check and found that the Chen Family's Patriarch was indeed dead. That person had dug his way into the house. " The servant respectfully explained the situation.

"Alright, you may leave." Wang Xinyue frowned, and dismissed the servant, her eyes filled with suspicions.

Chen Zhicheng died?

If there was no surprise, it was most likely that traitor. However, the traitor did not care about the danger of being discovered, and did not immediately escape from the Chen residence, but came to kill Chen Zhicheng? Furthermore, it did not cause any chaos. It could be seen that after killing Chen Zhicheng, the traitor had not left.

Why was that?

The death of the Patriarch was definitely a big matter, and it would definitely bring about an even more rigorous investigation! But the traitor did not run away.

Furthermore, Chen Zhicheng had died in the concubine's room, not his own. How did the traitor determine Chen Zhicheng's tracks?

Suddenly, she thought of the recent release of spirit energy. They were not members of the Chen family at all, but were released by that traitor.

He did not mind being discovered, he still wanted to release his spirit energy to lock onto Chen Zhicheng's position, and even if he lost the chance to escape, he wanted to kill Chen Zhicheng. This... It didn't seem like someone was plotting something against the Chen family, but more like … Revenge!

Right! It was to seek revenge!

Wang Xinyue's eyes lit up, and immediately locked onto the answer. Previously, when she crippled and then killed Chen Guandong, and later when she killed Chen Zhicheng, all the people involved were all members of the Chen family and no one else.

Besides the Su Clan, she could not think of another person who had such a huge grudge against the Chen Clan. As the Chen Clan grew and expanded over the past ten thousand years, nobody dared to offend the Chen Clan when they were at the same level of cultivation as them. Because the Chen Clan had just risen in power, the major powers didn't have any connections for the time being. Only the Chen Clan occupied the Su Clan's ancestral residence!

Could it be Su Wei? No, Su Wei's strength will definitely not recover so quickly!

Then, who could it be?
