Chapter 2162: Death of the Angry Lion

A breeze blew in from the window, making the environment of the inner hall more comfortable.

The Saint-Descendant King was always taking a nap. Looking at the old duke's expression, it seemed that he was used to it long ago, and his attitude toward the Saint-Descendant King was also a bit strange, respectful but not respectful.

Footsteps came, and an old man walked into the inner hall. His expression was serious, and his eagle hook nose matched with that sharp gaze. One look and you knew that this was a person who didn't laugh.

Compared with the old duke, this old man was more like an imperial duke, whether in dress or aura: serious, not laughing, pedantic but fair.

The old man stopped at the seat engraved with the forest pattern. He didn't sit down, but after examining Su Xiao for a moment, he sat down.

"Ah? Isn't this Duke Lilin? Who let you out... ah no, really old, confused, how can I say such impolite words."

The old duke seemed to have just discovered that Duke Lilin had arrived, surprised, while playing with his beautiful wife in his hand.

"Wild dog."

Lilin's voice was not high, but enough for the old duke to hear.

"Little ghost, talking to 'father' like this will be punished by heaven. It's a pity, your mother, Fulina, is no longer in the world, otherwise..."

The information in this sentence of the old duke was huge. This old thing didn't know how many years he had lived. God knew if he had an affair with Duke Lilin's mother.

A blue vein burst out on Duke Lilin's forehead, and then, he actually didn't speak. In this way, the information was even greater.

In this occasion, silence almost represented default, and the old duke, eight or nine out of ten, really had some scandals with Duke Lilin's biological mother. After all, the noble circle of the Sela Empire was very chaotic.

"The sum of your two ages is at least over a thousand years old. Are you not ashamed?"

A beautiful woman walked over slowly. Her lazy and luxurious temperament completely made up for the disadvantage of age. Moreover, she looked at most thirty years old.

Moon Wolf Duke Eve arrived. She smiled at everyone, although she didn't wear any jewelry, she still looked noble. Temperament, sometimes really couldn't be made up for by external things.

I don't know why, almost everyone called Moon Wolf Duke Eve Moon Wolf Madam, instead of calling her duke directly. There should be some hidden secrets in it.

Lilin and Moon Wolf Madam had both arrived, but the remaining Angry Lion Duke Gilbert was late. This wait lasted until nine o'clock in the morning.

Gilbert was a duke, but he couldn't make the Saint-Descendant King and three dukes wait for more than an hour.

"Angry Lion is in trouble."

Duke Lilin said in a deep voice. Moon Wolf Madam was obviously a bit anxious. With her status and experience, few things could make her like this.

"Angry Lion never arrives late, am I right?"

Lilin turned his gaze to look at the old duke.

"This time... it's really not me."

God knew why the old duke denied it directly. Perhaps, this was because he had done too many bad things. Once there was any change, other dukes immediately thought that this was done by the old duke.

"You wouldn't be..."

The smile on Moon Wolf Madam's face gradually converged, beautiful, but fatal.

The old duke was speechless for a while. Angry Lion Duke hadn't arrived yet, he must have had an accident, and he was 'lucky' enough to become the biggest suspect.

Under the instruction of Moon Wolf Madam, an attendant walked out of the Saint Court quickly. At most five minutes, Moon Wolf Madam learned one thing through the intelligence channel: Angry Lion Duke Gilbert was murdered and died in a winery outside the city.

Dukes could not be compared with imperial officials. Every duke had huge power in his hands. More than 60% of the imperial military power was in the hands of Angry Lion Duke. Coupled with the fact that the empire was at war with the Northern Alliance, the death of Angry Lion Duke was almost equal to the collapse of half the sky of the empire.

Learning this news, Duke Lilin proposed to detain the old duke in the Saint Court.

"Fart! What evidence do you have?"

The old duke's face was trembling with anger. In fact, he knew clearly that neither Lilin nor Moon Wolf Madam suspected him. The Sela Empire was the foundation of the Saint-Descendants. Destroying the power system of the empire, especially in terms of military power, was almost equal to self-destruction.

"Suspecting you, no evidence needed."

This sentence of Moon Wolf Madam could be described as heart-piercing, but she had to do this now. Angry Lion Duke Gilbert died inexplicably. If the old duke took the opportunity to make a fuss, they would be overwhelmed.

"Is this your decision?"

"That's right."

"Only if you stay here can we handle the death of Angry Lion."

"That's good, I'll stay here. Before the cause of Angry Lion's death is found out, I will live in the Saint Court."

This sentence of the old duke made Lilin and Moon Wolf Madam slightly surprised. They almost thought at the same time, could it really be done by this old guy?

"But before that, I have something to announce. I once devoured gods, but after that, the curse of immortality made me live in pain..."

"You'd better get straight to the point."

Moon Wolf Madam couldn't listen anymore. The old duke lived in pain? Don't joke, this old guy lived more comfortably than anyone else, married a bunch of wives, and carried two with him.

"I am preparing to put down the power in my hand temporarily and hand it over to my nephew, Kukulin Bai Ye. He is now a duke."

"Nephew? Are you crazy?"

Lilin looked at the old duke, his face without any expression.

"Since the two agree, no, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. Today I'm just announcing this matter. Whether you agree or not is not important."

The old duke stood up, looking much more relaxed. Looking at his appearance, he was preparing to go for a stroll in the garden behind the Saint Court.

Lilin and Moon Wolf Madam both looked at Su Xiao, because from beginning to end, Su Xiao was silent.

"Two, do you have any prejudice against me, a normal human?"

Su Xiao was chewing soul crystal fragments in his mouth. At the beginning of each world, he would eat some soul crystal fragments like sugar beans to improve his soul strength.

"Humans will not be descendants of Saint-Descendants..."

Duke Lilin said halfway, and found that Su Xiao was looking at him with a smile.

A moment later, Duke Lilin's expression returned to normal. He didn't need to negotiate with Su Xiao at all to judge how difficult Su Xiao was to deal with.

"Duke Bai Ye, you can actually make that old guy give in. It's really incredible. Okay, I admit it, you are the acting duke."

Moon Wolf Madam smiled lightly, not surprised by the death of Angry Lion Duke and the old duke giving up power. She had experienced too many big things in her life. Being able to live until now was by relying on that heart as ruthless as a snake and scorpion.

Su Xiao leaned on the seat. He could have his current status at this speed, one because of his cooperation with the old duke, and two because he was strong enough.

Strong strength brought a lot of convenience. If Su Xiao didn't have the strength to kill the old duke last night, the old duke would never compromise.

As long as the old duke dared to say a 'no' last night, then today everyone would not be coming to the Saint Court to hold an imperial meeting, but to hold a memorial service in his manor.

Of course, there was also a very important point, which was the death of Angry Lion Duke this morning. If the old duke didn't know the hidden secrets in it, Su Xiao absolutely wouldn't believe it.

That old guy, both compromising to Su Xiao and wanting to hide himself, a real old fox.

After initial contact, Su Xiao had roughly understood the three dukes. The old duke was a stirrer, and his plot was very big, so big that he needed to be hostile to all dukes to cover up his purpose.

Duke Lilin was an upright person. He was not a Saint-Descendant of the first generation, or rather, he had no choice. He was born a Saint-Descendant and inherited the duke position.

If the Sela Empire didn't have Duke Lilin, it might have been broken through by the Northern Alliance long ago.

As for Moon Wolf Madam, she belonged to the extremely selfish type. As long as it didn't threaten her, she wouldn't take risks.

"Since you are the agent of that old guy, come together. Saint-Descendants are just mortals."

Duke Lilin left this sentence and got up to walk to the outer corridor. Moon Wolf Madam pondered for a moment and chose to follow.

"Old fox."

Su Xiao looked at the old duke who was enjoying the scenery by the window.

"Don't be so impolite, you are a duke now."

The old duke's mood was obviously good.

"The first one to die should be you. Just last night, you would have died before Angry Lion, and Lilin wouldn't have sent anyone to kill you."

Just as Su Xiao finished speaking, the prompt from the Samsara Paradise suddenly appeared.

【The Hunter has triggered a hidden mission:???】

【Because the Hunter chose to execute the main mission in a high-risk way, this hidden mission is a reward mission.】

Su Xiao closed the prompt. Now it seemed that his way of opening the main mission was completely correct. Although high risk, it was also high return.

If he didn't guess wrong, something was brewing in the dark, and the timing of the Samsara Paradise sending him was to fit that event. This wouldn't be a coincidence.

Su Xiao could choose not to participate in that event, which was to complete the main mission through normal channels. But now, he chose to participate in a certain event. Without strong strength as a foundation, participating in this unknown event might not even allow him to live for a day.

"Lilin wouldn't send anyone to kill me? Perhaps, he is too upright."

The old duke always had his back to Su Xiao, while the Saint-Descendant King was always dozing off, not caring about anything, including the death of Angry Lion Duke. ===== CHAPTER 2163 =====
