Peerless God of War

Chapter 738 Scent?

Looking at the body of the assassin on the ground, Chen Xiao did not hesitate and immediately leaned over to search for something on him.

Although he felt that the possibility of finding some clues on such a dead man was very small, what if he really found it?

After touching the assassin from head to toe, he really found nothing. Fortunately, Chen Xiao was not surprised and retracted his gaze to get up. But at this time, Xiao Miao on the side suddenly jumped to the assassin and twitched his nose.

This action immediately aroused Chen Xiao's curiosity, and he looked at Xiao Miao and said, "Xiao Miao, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Xiao Miao is a demon after all, and there is still a big gap between her and ordinary demons. Although Xiao Miao's intelligence and appearance are getting closer and closer to humans, she still retains some characteristics that only demons can have.

The most direct point is that her sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary demons.

"Well... this person has a very good smell." Xiao Miao tilted her head and said.

A very good smell?

Xiao Miao's words made Chen Xiao and the others look strange. How could a dead soldier have a fragrance? Moreover, Chen Xiao smelled it carefully and did not smell the so-called fragrance. This made him shake his head slightly in his heart. It seems that relying on Xiao Miao is still a bit too much.

Xiao Miao did not say anything. Since the assassin had been solved and no obvious clues were found on him, the follow-up matters would naturally be handed over to Bai Lan and Hai Lanxin to deal with. Chen Xiao did not need to do anything.

Soon, Hai Lanxin ordered his men to deal with it. Then several people came to Bai Lan's bedroom.

"Xiao Chen, it's really thanks to you just now. If you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid I would be in danger today." Thinking of the situation just now, Bai Lan felt a little scared. She didn't expect that she was careless for a while and forgot to let her men pay attention to protect herself, and she was immediately caught by the assassin. If Hai Lanxin hadn't just called Chen Xiao over, Bai Lan's ending could be imagined.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Since I have agreed to be a worshiper of the Sea Emperor Sect, it is my responsibility to protect you." Chen Xiao replied, paused and continued, "It's a pity that we didn't find any clues, otherwise, we might be able to find the assassin's accomplice."

"There is no rush. Now that the assassin has been killed, the accomplice will definitely not take any action in the short term. Next, just let Hai Qiu investigate slowly." After the incident, Bai Lan regained her composure.

For an assassin who is an eight-star martial god, Bai Lan believed that no matter how powerful the other party was, it would be impossible for them to send another one who was not much different immediately. It is not so easy to train an assassin of that strength. If one of them died, it is estimated that the other party would feel pain for a while.

Chen Xiao nodded, and he naturally understood what Bai Lan meant.

At this time, the maid outside came in to report: "Queen, the eldest princess wants to see you."

The eldest princess Hai Qiu? Chen Xiao didn't expect her to come so quickly.

"Let her in." Bai Lan replied to the maid. The maid nodded and turned away immediately, and brought the eldest princess in a moment.

"Queen, is it true that my father is not here..." The eldest princess came in and was about to ask about the Sea Emperor when she saw Bai Lan. But when she saw Hai Lanxin and Chen Xiao beside Bai Lan, she stopped again.

Bai Lan smiled and said to the eldest princess: "Hai Qiu, please sit down first. Ask anything you want to ask about your father, and I will tell you everything I know."

Hearing Bai Lan's words, the eldest princess frowned, but did not say anything immediately. Instead, she sat down and looked at Bai Lan quietly, waiting for her to continue.

How could Bai Lan not know what the eldest princess wanted to know? She spoke immediately.

"That's right, the Sea Emperor is not in the Sea Emperor Sect during this period. To be more specific, he should have been gone from the Sea Emperor Sect half a month ago." Bai Lan said slowly. As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest princess immediately asked where the Sea Emperor had gone. Bai Lan did not hide this.

"The Sea King is currently in the ruins, which are the ruins that have been opened recently in large numbers in the Canghai area." Bai Lan said truthfully.

"Inside the ruins?" The eldest princess frowned hard, "Why would father go into the ruins? Is there any secret in the ruins? No! Ordinary people who go into those ruins will be teleported out after staying in the ruins for half a day at most. How could father stay in the ruins for so many days?"

The eldest princess reacted quickly and thought of many things at once.

Bai Lan shook her head slightly: "What you said is not wrong. However, that is only limited to humans. If the sea people go in, they will not be teleported out. I think you should know something about this, right?"

Speaking, Bai Lan smiled and looked at the eldest princess. Although there were announcements to prevent the sea people from entering the ruins to explore, for several princes and princesses, those announcements had no effect at all. As long as they wanted, they could arrange some people privately.

In fact, the eldest princess did so.

"No wonder." The eldest princess looked solemn, and then she understood why none of the people she had taken in came out later. At first she thought that those people were killed in the ruins, but now she knows this is the reason.

"So what should we do now? Is father trapped in there forever?" After reacting, the eldest princess asked the most critical question.

And this is exactly the question Bai Lan was waiting for.

"In fact, what we need to do now is very simple. We just need to stabilize the situation of the sea clan." Bai Lan said very simply.

This immediately attracted the attention of the eldest princess. After looking at Bai Lan for a while, she spoke again: "I understand." It was also a very simple sentence. For the eldest princess, she knew very well what to do and when.

The eldest princess's reply made Bai Lan smile. Such an answer meant that she already had a card in her hand to stabilize the situation of the sea clan. The weight of the eldest princess's words in the Sea Emperor Sect was enough to stabilize the situation.

"By the way, the assassin who wanted to assassinate me has been killed. I have asked someone to start the investigation. If you need to use the assassin's body to make a fuss, you can tell me at any time." Bai Lan added.

"The assassin has been killed?" The eldest princess showed a surprised expression. It was only a short while since they separated, how could the assassin be killed?

After a brief surprise, the eldest princess immediately guessed that it was very likely that the assassin launched another attack when everyone left the hall, so she didn't know. However, the assassin was killed so easily, and there must be some hidden force behind Bai Lan.
