Chapter 247: Chaos Ensued

The Peacock Great Demon King received the news immediately.

Upon receiving the message, he was shocked. Another one dead?

Previously, it was the Wind Wolf King and the eldest son of the Titan Bear King, and now it was the Flash Leopard King. What made him most helpless was that this assassination occurred right after the Flash Leopard King left a meeting with him. It was impossible for him not to be suspected.

Flash Leopard King tactfully declined to support him and then died as soon as he left, which made the other clans wonder.

"Reporting to the City Lord. The two Deer Kings have arrived."

"Let them in," he said with a deep voice, massaging his temples.

The Aetherhorn Deer Demon King and the Golden Deer Demon King almost entered simultaneously.

As the Golden Deer Demon King entered, he couldn\'t help saying, "City Lord, Flash Leopard King is dead. This... isn\'t this a bit hasty?"

Although the Aetherhorn Deer Demon King didn\'t speak, his brow was also tightly furrowed.

The Golden Deer Demon King continued, "Now is a time when the people\'s hearts are unsettled within the city. City Lord, we shouldn\'t have acted hastily; it will cause chaos. Moreover, it will draw suspicion onto you for the previous incidents!"

"If I say it wasn\'t me, would you believe me?" the Peacock Great Demon King said calmly.

The Golden Deer Demon King was stunned momentarily and replied, "Not you? Then who has the power to eliminate the Flash Leopard King silently? He was not far from reaching the god level, and he’d always hoped to lead his clan to greater heights after breaking through, so he was ridiculously cautious. Although he wasn’t the strongest around, his strength was a notch above the Wind Wolf King\'s. Frankly speaking, even if I and Aetherhorn wanted to kill him, it wouldn\'t be easy."

"We have examined the scene. Aetherhorn, you tell him."

The Aetherhorn Deer Demon nodded and said, "The scene was cleaned up very well... I’d say professionally even. There were hardly any residual elemental fluctuations in the air. It\'s not easy to handle elemental fluctuations so cleanly. Moreover, from the condition of the Flash Leopard King, I could deduce that there was no actual battle. His wounds were extremely severe. There was a huge penetrating wound in the chest, caused by a heavy weapon. His neck was torn open by claws. His neck arteries and the spine were completely severed, and much of the blood from the body was also drained. Judging from the scene, he must have been killed quickly, in a single clash.

"Even for a god-level Demon King, killing him so swiftly would be very difficult. After all, although the Flash Leopard King was not a particularly powerful fighter, his ability to dodge and escape was top-notch. Such an inescapable, one-hit kill would likely require the strength of a Great Demon King."

The Peacock Great Demon King nodded, then said, "You were here with me until just a little while ago. Considering the timing, do you think I could have done it?"

The Golden Deer Demon chuckled bitterly. "We believe that you are not the culprit, but you\'re not the only Great Demon King in the Peacock clan. The news has already spread like wildfire. The entire city is beginning to chaos. The Flash Leopard clan is collecting their dead, and more are gathering there. If it\'s not handled promptly, chaos might ensue. The Titan Bear, the Blaze Lion, and the Crimson Fox have also gone there. There\'s a sense of mourning among them. If this matter isn\'t handled well..."

The Peacock Great Demon King shrugged and said indifferently, "Come, let\'s go have a look."

He stood up and strode outside. The Aetherhorn Deer Demon King and the Golden Deer Demon King quickly followed behind.

Once outside the hall, the three took to the air, heading straight for the scene of the incident.

Soon, from an aerial view, they could see several streets in an area filled with demons, with the Flash Leopard demons being the most numerous amidst various loud and chaotic noises.

The outer circle mainly consisted of onlookers, while the inner circle was primarily made up of Flash Leopard demons. The formidable figures of the Blaze Lion and the Titan Bear were visible.

The Peacock Great Demon King descended from the sky, landing on a wall beside the street.

A tremendous aura burst forth from him, instantly quelling the surrounding noise, as numerous eyes focused on him.

"The City Lord has arrived. Make way," the Aetherhorn Deer Demon King commanded in a deep voice.

The Flash Leopard clans\'s elites looked toward the Peacock Great Demon King, their faces mostly showing anger and hatred. They were clearly aware that they had refused the mayor\'s recruitment during the meeting.

The Flash Leopards showed no intention of making way.

The Peacock Great Demon King descended from the sky, and without any visible movement, the surrounding area was forcefully cleared, as if a massive pressure was pushing everything away.

Not just the Flash Leopards, but even the Blaze Lion Demon King and the Titan Bear Demon King were sent flying, their expressions drastically changing.

On a fifty-meter stretch of the narrow path, aside from the corpses on the ground, only the Peacock Great Demon King remained, followed by the Aetherhorn Deer Demon King and the Golden Deer Demon King.

"City Lord, you—" a Flash Leopard elite shouted fiercely. But in the next instant, he was already subdued and lying on the ground.

"Kill those who pass judgment without understanding the situation!" the Peacock Great Demon King said indifferently, his gaze falling on the Titan Bear Demon King and the Blaze Lion Demon King.

The bodies of the two Demon Kings trembled, and even with the Blaze Lion Demon King\'s pride, he instinctively lowered his head.

In fact, upon first seeing the Flash Leopard King\'s corpse, their initial reaction was shock, followed by a mix of astonishment and rage. And now, as the Peacock Great Demon King arrived, dominating the scene, a sense of trembling fear added to their feelings.

The Flash Leopard King\'s death was tragic and happened too suddenly. They had been talking just moments before, yet now, he\'d gone beyond reach. Without a divine consciousness, not even a sliver of lingering spirit could remain; he was well and truly dead.

The Peacock Great Demon King squatted down to examine the Flash Leopard King\'s corpse. He scrutinized it, especially the several wounds, and even examined the Flash Leopard King\'s skull.

Moments later, he stood up and turned to the Titan Bear Demon King, the Blaze Lion Demon King, and the temporary leader of the Flash Leopard tribe. "Come over here."

The Crimson Fox Demon King, who had been staying back, now approached and said in a low voice, "Let\'s not be hasty. Let\'s see what the City Lord has to say first."

The Demon Kings gathered around the Peacock Great Demon King, who said indifferently, "I\'ve just examined their bodies. The wounds were caused by powerful weapons piercing through them. They look identical to the wounds taken by the Titan Bear King’s son. It must be the same enemy. And this time, the enemy seems to be even stronger.

"Though the traces have been cleanly erased, I can still sense some clues left in the air. There are spatial fluctuations that seem to be the result of space-attribute abilities."

The surroundings burst into an uproar as soon as these words were spoken. The Peacock Demon clan was undoubtedly the most proficient in spatial powers! Wasn\'t this an inadvertent admission?

"Silence." The Peacock Great Demon King\'s cold voice instantly suppressed the entire scene again. The powerful bloodline pressure made the Demon Kings around him tremble intensely. They all knew the Peacock Great Demon King was strong, but they had no idea how powerful he could be.

The Peacock Great Demon King said indifferently, "There are spatial fluctuations and other types of energy fluctuations. If I\'m not mistaken, there are changes in fate and distortions in time. These remnants are very faint, but I can confirm their presence. Besides..."—he paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Demon Kings present—"...a spiritual power user also launched an attack on him. His sea of consciousness suffered a severe blow before his death.”
