Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Chapter 600 - Forbidden Technique Of The Celestial Realm

Lü Hai answered honestly, "I've been standing guard in front of the study for the entire night, and

Likewise, Du Yuan answered honestly, "I was sleeping in a bush all night."

Nangong Ba's eyes widened slightly, and he kept staring at Du Yuan as he asked, "When did you wake up?"

"At noon." Du Yuan replied.

"Both of you, come with me." Nangong Ba said coldly.

The Dark Moon Palace.

"Mother, I hadn't seen Brother around for a while. Where is he?" Fengwu asked as she sat in Liu Rushuang's lap.

Liu Rushuang wrapped her arms tighter around her and asked Han Moze, who was behind the desk, "Any clues yet, Ze?"

Han Moze analyzed the eyewitnesses' account and said, "I suspect Du Yuan."

Liu Rushuang was stunned. "How? He wasn't acquainted with Elder Meng before… why would he kill Elder Meng?"

Han Moze's lips arched coldly into a smile and there was a sternness in his eyes. "He might be trying to frame Yuan'er," he growled. "Lü Hai drank a lot of water as he advised, and had a toilet break of up to eight minutes. In that period, Du Yuan could enter the study and stab Elder Meng and frame Yuan'er."

Liu Rushuang's gaze lit up and said, "Can't you send someone to capture and interrogate him?"

"Let's not startle our quarry for now… but I've already sent someone to keep an eye on him." Han Moze's lips curled into an evil smile—would he, a crown prince of the celestial realm fail to handle some trifle of the mortal realm?

Liu Rushuang's eyes narrowed slightly as she remembered Du Yuan then, her brows frowning slightly.

It was certainly true that the guardsman was exceedingly calm this morning.

That was when Nangong Ba entered the room with both Du Yuan and Lü Hai.

"Why are you here, Phantom Fox? Was it because of Yuan'er?" Liu Rushuang asked, glancing at the two guardsmen following Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba nodded and answered, "Exactly."

Then, he turned towards the two guards who were controlled by his high-tier charm technique and somberly asked, "What were you doing last night?"

When Liu Rushuang and Han Moze heard from Du Yuan that he was sleeping the whole night in the bushes, both of them were stunned.

"Ze, could there be someone who looks identical to Du Yuan in this world?" Liu Rushuang asked in confusion.

On the other hand, Han Moze smiled darkly. Raising his brow, he calmly asked, "Do you know about the witches of the Dark Forest, Shuang'er?"

Liu Rushuang nodded. "I do."

"Then did you know they have witchcraft that could impersonate another person?"

"Impersonate another person?"

Liu Rushuang frowned right then. "Are you talking about mimicry? That's forbidden in the celestial realm."

Han Moze narrowed his eyes and flatly said, "It seems the Black Demon Celestials do indeed exist in the Dark Forest."

"Black Demon Celestials?"

Liu Rushuang exclaimed in surprise. "Weren't they destroyed dozens of thousand years ago?"

"It appears that they were not wiped out. The witches must be descendants of the Black Demon Celestials."

Han Moze said somberly. "Shuang'Er, we must wipe out their light for the mortal realm… or if the day comes and the Black Demon Celestials descend upon the world once more, they might conquer the mortal realm."

Nangong Ba smiled charmingly then. "How could you leave me out when it comes to destroying evil?"

Raising a brow, Han Moze shot back, "You can go alone if you want to go so much!"

"…"
