Chapter 720: Do You Really Lack Confidence in Me?

He would make sure that the person paid a terrible price for this and wished he were dead!

Minutes later, the severely injured Heavenly Supreme killer woke up from his coma .

Si Mobai looked down at the now-conscious assassin and interrogated him in an icy voice, “Who sent you to kill my princess?”

When the assassin woke up and heard the icy voice, he felt chilled to the bone, and he shuddered involuntarily . His powerful, murderous aura overwhelmed him, terrifying him to his soul .

He looked up in fear at the erect figure above him . The stunning demonic handsome face also had the Demon King’s signature zhusha mole in between the brows, which completely sobered him up . He spoke in a trembling voice, “De… Demon King!”

“I heard that it was I who ordered you to assassinate Her Highness?” said Si Mobai with raised eyebrows . His voice was steady and cold .

“Yes…”

Si Mobai stepped directly on his arm and looked at him coldly while asking, “Who exactly was it who ordered you to assassinate my princess?”

The assassin cried out in pain, but before Si Mobai, he had to answer, even if he was in pain . He was bowing down out of respect for the Prime Supreme as well as out of fear of the famous Demon King .

The assassin replied in a rush from the pain, “Bailan Alliance, Demon King . I’m speaking the truth . ”

He didn’t lie . It was his answer .

Si Mobai had an icy look in his eyes as he lifted his foot to crush the assassin’s arm . It immediately crumpled and the bone was directly broken .

Screams rang out .

Feng Tianlan came over and held his arm, saying, “Mobai . ”

“Lan’er . ” Si Mobai looked at her in a panic . He was present and yet the assassin still stated these words . If Lan’er believed it, what was he going to do? He didn’t know how to explain .

Feng Tianlan observed his panic and held his hand . She gave him a reassuring smile, then looked at the pale and sweaty assassin, who was rolling about in pain . She spoke coldly, “Was it the Demon King who personally came to you and gave you orders to hunt me down?”

“No… no . ” His bones were crushed, and he didn’t want to experience such acute pain again . He had long heard of the Demon King’s terrifying ways . What just happened wasn’t even the worst he was capable of .

“So, who was the person who came directly to you and gave you orders? Why are you so sure that the Demon King of Bailan Alliance was the one who ordered you to hunt and kill me? Don’t you know that the Demon King was looking for someone across the whole continent?”

Listening to Feng Tianlan’s questions, Si Mobai tightly held Feng Tianlan’s hand . His panicked heart gradually settled down and his mind became clearer .

“The leader of Bailan Alliance, the man said that the Demon King’s princess was a good-for-nothing woman who’d returned to Guiyuan Continent and would impede the future of the Demon King . So, on one hand, we had to search, and on the other, we had to hunt and kill . It was to satisfy both orders,” the assassin answered in a rush for fear of being tortured if he didn’t speak right away .

Si Mobai clenched his fists . After calming himself down after much difficulty, he panicked again the next instant . He’d never thought about it like this . If he had thought about it like this, he could’ve let Lan’er stay in Guiyuan Continent . Otherwise, why would he have gone through all that trouble?

But he was afraid that Lan’er wouldn’t believe it .

“Did the person have any distinguishing features?” Feng Tianlan felt another wave of uneasiness from Si Mobai . She leaned closer to him and tightly held his hand .

“The person was wearing a veil, so I couldn’t see them clearly . But she wore her hair in a bun like a woman from the Imperial Palace, as if she’d left the palace in a hurry . ”

Hearing this answer, Feng Tianlan frowned . She looked at the terrified, ashen-faced assassin and could only think that he wasn’t lying but telling the truth . However, all of what he said pointed to Princess Zhaoyang from the Imperial Palace .
