731 Cooperation
Lu Benwei could not help but frown.
âHow did you know?â
Xiong Hu tapped his temple with his fingertip. âI rely on my brain. Iâm not an inspector for nothing.â
Lu Benwei was speechless.
âThen why didnât you tell everyone about the Mi Familyâs conspiracy?â Ji Han asked.
Xiong Hu tapped her head. âAre you stupid? Youâre accusing a powerful faction without any evidence. If you donât want to live long, I do!â
Ji Han stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
âSo, your next task is to find evidence of the Mi Family? And you want me to help you implicate the Mi Family? But why are you looking for me?â Lu Benwei frowned and asked.
âItâs very simple. You have no background.â Xiong Hu raised his eyebrows. âIâm being watched wherever I go. Youâre the most suitable person to be my spy.â
âWhat benefits do I get?â Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.
Xiong Hu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully, âThe benefits are huge. Youâll know when the time comes.â
He wiped the oil off the corner of his mouth and got up to go to the window.
âIf I stay here for too long, Iâm afraid there will be trouble.â
After saying that, he prepared to jump out of the window. However, because he was too tall, his head hit the windowsill.
âOuch!â
Xiong Hu let out a blood-curdling scream and fell straight down.
Lu Benwei poked his head out of the window.
Xiong Hu was embedded in the soil in the shape of a large character, looking very comical.
Lu Benwei let out a long sigh.
Ji Han heard Lu Benweiâs sigh and said in surprise, âYouâre going to work with Xiong Hu? When did you agree to it?â
âI didnât agree to his request. Itâs just that the Mi Family is a threshold that we canât cross. Itâs only a matter of time before we clash with the Mi Family,â Lu Benwei said, âWhether we cooperate with Xiong Hu or not, we canât avoid contact with the Mi Family.â
After a pause, he continued, âBut I donât understand. Why would the Mi Family attack the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clan? Are they trying to stir up trouble?â
â¦
In the middle of the night, a cold snort woke Lu Benwei up.
Then, a loud voice rang out throughout the city. âHmph, you even dare to attack the heir of my Qin Dynasty. Youâre really getting impatient!â
In the next second, the void was torn apart, and the world rumbled. A terrifying pressure swept across the entire corner city like the waves of the sea.
The lights in every household were lit up, and screams could be heard.
A few divine rainbows streaked across the world as heroes from all over the world headed toward the Huqin Dynastyâs residence.
âWhat happened?â the Great Peacock King asked.
At this moment, the general of the Huqin Dynasty, Hu Bailie, was healing the Crown Prince, Hu Wuwei, with a gloomy expression on his face.
âSomeone dares to attack the prince!â
The Great Peacock King understood what was going on.
âFortunately, I was prepared,â Hu Bailie said, âI slept with the prince, and he was not hurt too badly.â
Hu Wuweiâs right arm was torn to pieces by the arrow. It was enough to show how terrifying that personâs strength was!
âWho is so bold as to assassinate the prince?â Hu Bailie was furious, and his voice sounded like thunder.
âCall Inspector Xiong Hu over,â the Great Peacock King ordered his servants to follow him.
Soon, Xiong Hu arrived at the scene.
Hu Bailie asked directly, âXiong Hu, let me ask you. Howâs the progress of the investigation?â
Xiong Huâs expression turned serious. âIâm not talented,â he said, âI only found a clue.â
As he spoke, he took out a small magic formation. Inside was a sealed arrow.
However, the membrane at the end of the arrow had been removed.
âI extracted the membrane and analyzed its composition. I found that it was the skin shed by a snake.â
âSnakeskin?â
Everyone was shocked.
âIs that true?â Hu Bailie asked directly.
âItâs absolutely true. Take it out and test it,â Xiong Hu replied.
Hu Bailie looked at the arrow in his hand thoughtfully.
After a while, he asked his servant, âIs there any snake tribe in Jiao City?â
âThere seems to be one. Theyâre currently staying in an inn in the south of the city.â
âWhat tribe is it?â
âIt seems to be the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan.â
Hu Bailie immediately narrowed his eyes. âQuicksand Kingsnake!â
An extremely terrifying pressure erupted from his body, and the arrow in his hand emitted green smoke as it was crushed into powder by his bare hands.
Xiong Huâs expression changed slightly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Hu Bailie soared into the sky and headed toward the place where the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan resided.
Xiong Huâs lips twitched. âF*ck! How did this impatient fellow become the general of the Huqin Dynasty?â
âWhatâs wrong?â the Great Peacock King asked.
âIâve already investigated the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan. The other party doesnât have the ability to commit a crime. The Quicksand Kingsnake Clanâs highest combat strength is only at level 90,â Xiong Hu said with a grin.
âThe Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clanâs grandson was assassinated right under their clan leaderâs nose. Can you do it at level 90?â
The Great Peacock Kingâs expression changed slightly. âNot good, the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan might be in trouble.â
After saying that, he and Xiong Hu headed toward the south of the city.
At the same time, Hu Bailie had already overturned the inn where the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan had resided. Smoke and dust soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
Blood was dripping from the mouth of the Quicksand Kingsnakeâs clan leader. âHu Bailie, donât go too far!â
Hu Bailie snorted and raised his voice. âAssassinating the prince of our dynasty, you should be beheaded!â
The Quicksand Kingsnake clan leader was so angry that his nose was crooked. His voice was even louder than Hu Bailieâs. âStop slandering me!â
âYou dare to do it but donât dare to admit it? You were the one who killed the Steel King Strange Strength Bear Clanâs grandson, right?â Hu Bailie asked coldly.
âBullsh*t!â
âYou still dare to be stubborn when youâre about to die? Kill!â Hu Bailieâs eyes were cold.
After saying that, he tore the void with his bare hands and attacked forward. The power was extremely terrifying.
âHoly Light Shield!â
A clear shout sounded, and a layer of holy light armor enveloped the Quicksand Kingsnake Clan. When its clan leader saw this, he joined forces with Lu Benwei to resist the attacks.
The Holy Light Shield helped him to offset a large amount of damage. He also took advantage of the situation and let out a long roar, his entire body emitting a brown light beam.
âRumble!â
The aftershock spread in all directions, and countless houses collapsed. Miserable screams continued.
âItâs you?â
Hu Bailie stared coldly at Lu Benwei, who was in the smoke.
âAre you with them?â
âGeneral Hu, please calm down.â Lu Benwei tried to persuade him.
âThe Quicksand Kingsnake Clan isnât the murderer behind the scenes.â
Hu Bailie sneered. âThe evidence is irrefutable. Itâs a fact!â
