Chapter 976 Instant Kill
In the room, Quide and Mary’s expressions were grave as they looked at the documents in their hands with gloomy expressions.
“This guy isn’t simple. I knew something was wrong with him when I was in the martial arts tournament today. If someone as strong as him really existed, why would he only come to the Grand Court now? This is the cultivation place that countless cultivators of the empire dream of.”
“Besides, judging from his appearance and his attire, he doesn’t look like someone from here. Damn it, damn it, why didn’t I notice it during the day? I was so immersed in joy that I didn’t even notice such an obvious problem!”
“This is a huge mess for the family and the empire. We have to get rid of this guy as soon as possible. We can’t let him continue to infiltrate our empire. We can’t let him do whatever he wants!”
“If he destroys our plans, then we will be the sinners of the empire!”
Quide said nervously.
Mary took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“He is just alone. No matter how strong he is, he is no match for our empire. He has ventured deep into the hinterland of the empire, and it is absolutely impossible for him to leave here alive!”
Mary declared it with absolute certainty.
The Ember Empire had destroyed countless small countries around it. Its strength was so strong that it made people despair.
If anyone wanted to fight against such a vast empire, it would be a fool’s dream.
Therefore, in their opinion, Lu Yu was basically courting death by barging in.
“He’s just a hothead, especially when he barges into our empire alone. He has no way out. He’ll die soon!”
Quide stood by the window and looked at the moon outside. He let out a long sigh.
“What should we do next? Go directly to him? Or should we go to the family headquarters to call for backup?” Mary asked.
Quide sneered. “Since we’ve discovered him, we have ten thousand ways to kill him. However, it’s best not to alert the enemy.”
“He thinks being direct is clever, so we’ll beat him at his own game. Once he reaches Central Court City, we’ll ambush him without waiting for him to make his next move.”
“I’m afraid we won’t have a chance in West Court City. Don’t sleep now. We’ll rush to Central Court City through the night without delay.”
Quide was anxious, as this was their big chance. If they could help the empire solve this problem, they would definitely be promoted and enjoy a good life!
As he imagined the wonderful life ahead, Quide’s face was filled with smiles. He stood where he was and laughed foolishly. He rubbed his palms, put on his coat, and prepared to leave.
Mary hurriedly put on a pair of pants and even put on her makeup. She smiled in satisfaction at the mirror and got up in a hurry.
“Honey, wait for me. The credit this time must be shared between us. The Lord will definitely confer titles. When we return to the Grand Court, we will completely become nobles among nobles!”
The duo was incomparably excited and expectant. The discovery just now raced their hearts, and they wanted to set off for Central Court City immediately.
However, when he reached the bedroom door and wanted to leave, he suddenly realized that the door couldn’t be pushed open, no matter how hard he tried. It was as if someone had locked it from the outside.
He hurriedly took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, but he could not open the door at all.
“What the hell? What’s going on?!”
“Mary, the door can’t be opened. Go to the window and call the butler over!”
However, after he shouted, there was no response at all.
Just as he was curious, he quickly turned around and looked. His eyes immediately widened, and he was so frightened that he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Mary had already become a corpse. She lay on the floor, blood spurting out of the wound on her neck.
“Ah!”
Quide cried out in panic. His legs went weak, and he gradually slumped down.
“Who is it? Who did this? Get out here!”
He roared angrily. How could he not be angry when his wife was murdered?
But at the same time, he was also terrified. He was afraid that he would be the next one. He was afraid that he would not even have the chance to resist and would be killed by his wife.
After all, there was no sound when Mary died. If he hadn’t looked back, he wouldn’t have known that Mary was dead.
He curled up in the corner, his body trembling uncontrollably. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead as his eyes scanned the room, but he could not see anything.
At this moment, it was as if his body had fallen into an ice cave. There was endless cold air around him that was blowing at him.
“Who is it? Come out! Please, I can do whatever you want me to do! As long as you spare me!”
“Please spare me. I promise I won’t find trouble with Lu Yu anymore. I know I was wrong!”
He could roughly guess that Lu Yu had sent someone to kill him.
After all, there were no other cultivators in West Court City who would do this. They could only be outsiders.
Among the foreign cultivators, Lu Yu was the strongest.
At this moment, the Empress’s figure slowly appeared before his eyes.
After seeing the Empress’s figure, Quide’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He did not expect the assassin to be standing in front of him in stealth mode.
He could not sense the existence of this person at all. Whether it was her smell, her temperature, or even the disturbance of the airflow, he could not feel it at all.
Such concealment technique was definitely the best among all the assassins he had seen!
“Please, please forgive me. I know my wrong!”
He immediately kowtowed to the Empress.
The Empress returned to the table at the side, picked up the document, and looked at it.
“It looks like you guys are quite well-informed. You actually managed to get information about Lu Yu.”
“You’re Lu Yu’s follower? As expected, he sent you here. He sensed that something was wrong in advance; what a ruthless fellow!”
“How dare you say that about him?” The Empress raised her foot and stomped on his chest.
“Wait, I only said that he’s ruthless. I didn’t say anything else. Please spare me.”
“Did you call him a fellow?”
Quide was dumbfounded and quickly apologized, “I’m dumb. I shouldn’t have said that!”
“If you dare to say anything bad about him again, I’ll torture you to death!”
“What?” Quide quickly apologized, “I definitely won’t dare to do it again!”
He was a tall and sturdy man. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of the Empress with his entire body filled with fear and nervousness, and he had no intention of resisting.
Ice crystals gradually appeared in the room.
The ice crystals gradually spread along the walls, chilling the room.
Because of this, Quide didn’t dare to resist.
The ice crystals on the surrounding walls all stood like daggers, ready to stab him at any time.
The Empress had already set up an inescapable net. If Quide dared to resist, he would be pricked like a porcupine instantly!
