Chapter 1873: The Powerful Kunpeng Guardian, Intent on Investigating Longshe Shan

"Kunpeng Guardian, you have also seen it; we are not clear about this matter and need some time to investigate. I wonder whether the Kunpeng Guardian can return; after we have clarified it, this Emperor will send someone to inform the Kunpeng Guardian, how?" Diewumeng seemed to ask, but in fact she knew what was happening, first steadied the Kunpeng Guardian, letting him return to await news; as for when the news would come, that was still up to her.

It could be a few days, or a few months, even a few years or a dozen years; the information requires investigation, investigation requires mobilizing personnel, a bit of checking, and we cannot wrongfully accuse an innocent person; by that calculation, the required time is very long.

The preparation time is not short, and whether it can be uncovered is another matter.

In short, the point is to find it out; once the result is obtained, when to tell the Kunpeng Guardian depends on their mood. There are many intricacies here, but they will not say it to his face; they will give the Kunpeng Guardian face and a way out.

Such a Strong One cannot have his face lost; refusing him outright or saying other words would offend him.

Kunpeng Guardian asked, "How long to investigate? When will there be a result?"

Diewumeng turned her head and asked Lan Tiansheng, "Lan Tiansheng, roughly how long will it take to investigate?"

With a gaze fixed, Lan Tiansheng instantly understood, hesitated a moment, and replied, "Your Demon Emperor Highness, and your Kunpeng Guardian Highness, you both know that this matter has been ongoing for some time; to re‑investigate requires a period of time. As for the site, I estimate the Kunpeng Guardian Highness has already been there, and there should be no traces left."

"To find the murderer, we need to start from the beginning; there are no traces, no evidence, the difficulty is extremely high."

"I cannot state a definite time; I can only say we will find the murderer as soon as possible."

It must be said that this statement is very reasonable and quite fair, resonating deeply with Diewumeng, expressing what she wanted to say; these words could not be spoken by this Demon Emperor herself, otherwise the Kunpeng Guardian would dislike her.

When Lan Tiansheng says it, it's different; he is a professional, and what comes from his mouth is more reliable.

"So you also cannot determine the time? Cannot quickly find the murderer?" the Kunpeng Guardian was somewhat displeased; the two were stalling him.

"To speak frankly, Kunpeng Guardian Highness, you indeed cannot immediately find the murderer," Lan Tiansheng answered truthfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since that is the case, then this Dharma Protector will go find them personally." The Kunpeng Guardian seemed to understand; the two had no intention of helping him find the murderer, they wanted to keep him steady, let him return first, and then act as if nothing had happened.

"Kunpeng Guardian Highness, please do not be angry; you have spoken, how could we not help you?" Diewumeng immediately stood up, reaching out to retain the Kunpeng Guardian.

"The Kunpeng Guardian's matter is also the matter of my Mangshan Demon Palace; rest assured, we will certainly help you find the murderer as soon as possible, and will not make you wait too long, right, Lan Tiansheng?" Diewumeng turned her head, prompting Lan Tiansheng to reorganize his words.

The Kunpeng Guardian, hearing this, halted his steps.

"This matter was not done by people of your Mangshan Demon Palace; the direction is clear. This Dharma Protector suspects it was done by people of Longshe Shan. You may take this Dharma Protector to Longsh​e Shan to investigate; I wonder what the Demon Emperor Diewumeng thinks?" the Kunpeng Guardian spoke directly, without idle talk with the two.

Diewumeng's complexion changed dramatically upon hearing this: "This may not be possible."

Lan Tiansheng lowered his head; indeed, the Kunpeng Guardian was heading toward his master, and this matter must be reported to the master, but not now.

Doing such a thing in front of the Kunpeng Guardian would certainly be discovered.

"Why?" the Kunpeng Guardian asked coldly.

"Demon Emperor Diewumeng, could this matter be related to you? The people of this Dharma Protector were killed by you?"

The Kunpeng Guardian, stepping forward, stared coldly; that gaze, that pressure, erupted completely.

Within the Mangshan Demon Palace, a demonic aura enveloped the area; the powerful demonic aura made Diewumeng and Lan Tiansheng's bodies heavy. The two did not act; Diewumeng suppressed her inner fury. The Kunpeng Guardian's move made it clear that he was not giving himself face, but she could not tear the façade.

"The Kunpeng Guardian laughed, saying this matter has nothing to do with us; we are also hearing about this for the first time. You, need not worry, nor act rashly; that place Longshe Shan is very dangerous, even we, the people of Mangshan Demon Palace, dare not approach it lightly."

"It's not that we refuse the Kunpeng Guardian Highness to go, but that we truly cannot go."

"That place is very dangerous."

Diewumeng earnestly urged, yet did not wish the Kunpeng Guardian to go to Longshe Shan; that person is too terrifying—if he were to break through Longshe Shan's Formation, wouldn't the people inside Longshe Shan be …?

"Longshe Shan is a forbidden area of my Mangshan Mountain Range; even this Emperor cannot approach it lightly, let alone enter it casually."

"If the Kunpeng Guardian wishes to enter Longshe Shan, this Emperor is powerless; we can only hope the Kunpeng Guardian seeks his own fortune."

She will not take him there, nor will she help.

The Kunpeng Guardian was certainly heading toward the Blackwater Dragon Palace, hoping his husband there would erase all traces so the Kunpeng Guardian could find no trace.

"Is that so?" the Kunpeng Guardian stared at Diewumeng, wanting to verify whether she was speaking truth or falsehood.

He looked for a while; Diewumeng remained the same as usual.

"Your Highness, you are the Demon Emperor of the Mangshan Demon Palace, yet you cannot enter Longshe Shan at will?" the Kunpeng Guardian still did not believe Diewumeng's words; his domain, and the places she could not go.

Such a matter, if spread, would be ridiculed.

"That is the fact; Longshe Shan is very dangerous, this Emperor does not dare to go there. If the Dharma Protector wishes to enter Longshe Shan, this Emperor is also powerless; if the Dharma Protector wants to go elsewhere, this Emperor might be able to help, but Longshe Shan is the exception." Diewumeng made her stance clear: Longshe Shan could not be taken there.

The Kunpeng Guardian, if he wishes to go, must go alone; a Split Soul, the Formation of Longshe Shan could still trap him, and when that happens, his entrapment would be none of his own concern.

"Demon Emperor Diewumeng, you had better not deceive this Dharma Protector," the Kunpeng Guardian's face turned unpleasant.

"If the Kunpeng Guardian does not believe it, he may try it; do not blame this Emperor for not having warned you in advance—Longshe Shan is very dangerous." Diewumeng reminded again, urging him not to go, nor to court death.

When that Split Soul dies, it will be none of her concern.

"Hmph, this Dharma Protector does not believe this place can be that dangerous. Since Demon Emperor Diewumeng cannot take this Dharma Protector there, then this Dharma Protector will go personally; I want to see whether Longshe Shan is indeed as dangerous as the Demon Emperor claims."
