Chapter 24 – This is not about destroying the body and erasing traces

Xiao Tian ignored Xiang Yuanbai's almost vacant gaze.

He stood by the side of the Dark Poison Swamp, curiously eyeing the purple-black mire.

"By the way, is this thing really that powerful?" Xiao Tian asked with curiosity, turning to walk towards Gu Hongmao.

Seeing Xiao Tian approaching, Gu Hongmao was scared out of his wits.

His legs frantically kicked the ground as he tried to crawl away in a panic.

But just as he got up and was about to dash off, Xiao Tian grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

"Let me go, let me go!" Gu Hongmao, in a panic, kicked his legs wildly and reached for his waist.

From a seam in his robe, Gu Hongmao suddenly pulled out a dagger and aimed it at Xiao Tian's eye.

Xiao Tian didn't even bother to dodge, continuing to drag Gu Hongmao toward the Dark Poison Swamp.

In the next moment, Gu Hongmao clearly saw his dagger pierce Xiao Tian's eyeball.

But the blade tip shattered upon contact with the crystalline surface of Xiao Tian's eye.

"..." Gu Hongmao was dumbfounded, staring at the broken dagger handle in his hand, questioning his life choices.

Did his dagger really shatter when it stabbed the man's eye?

With his mind in complete disarray, Gu Hongmao suddenly felt himself being thrown into the air.

His entire body made intimate contact with the Dark Poison Swamp, sinking into it.

Almost instantly, as he sank into the swamp, Gu Hongmao began to corrode, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This demonstrated just how terrifying the Dark Poison Swamp truly was.

This scene left Zhong Ling and Liu Yan pale-faced, reminding them of the terrifying reputation of the Poison Swamp Elder.

One of the six evils of the Black Soul Hall, he was the most troublesome to deal with.

Because you never knew when you might fall into his poisonous swamp.

Even if you took to the air, you couldn't avoid him creating a toxic area in the sky.

However...

The two looked at Xiao Tian, who clapped his hands nonchalantly.

Compared to the Poison Swamp Elder, Xiang Yuanbai was clearly more excessive in his madness.

"Who are you, who the hell are you!!" Xiang Yuanbai was on the verge of madness, roaring at Xiao Tian.

His emotions were nearly collapsing; he had burned thirty years of his lifespan, paying such a huge price.

Only to give this man a full-body whitening?

However, Xiao Tian completely ignored his roar.

He simply reached out, scooped up some of the swamp's mud, and applied it to his face like a mud mask.

"You... you..." Xiang Yuanbai trembled, pointing at Xiao Tian, too angry to speak.

This humiliation was even worse than being slapped in the face earlier...

More! Excessive!

But Xiao Tian continued to ignore his existence, peeling off the dried poison mud from his face, and turned to Zhong Ling: "Little girl, am I whiter now, more tender?"

"Prince, why are you concerned about looking pretty at a time like this?" Zhong Ling was exasperated, unable to comprehend Xiao Tian's thought process.

"Little girl, you don't understand. Looking a bit more handsome makes it easier to charm the Empress." Xiao Tian shook his head, then turned to Xiang Yuanbai, "Mind if I ask, how much lifespan do you have left?"

Xiang Yuanbai trembled all over, staring at Xiao Tian: "What do you mean?"

"This Dark Poison Swamp has a great skin-whitening effect on me." Xiao Tian gestured with his hand, indicating a range, "So, how many times can your remaining lifespan provide this?"

"If I were to find you elixirs to extend your lifespan, is there a chance you could keep making this poison mud for my skincare?"

Xiang Yuanbai, mouth agape, pointed at Xiao Tian, trembling: "You... you beast."

"A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"I... I..."

With that, Xiang Yuanbai suddenly slapped his own head.

He died by suicide.

"..." Xiao Tian was a bit stunned; how did the old man just kill himself?

Behind him, Zhong Ling and Liu Yan were petrified.

As one of the six evils of the Black Soul Hall, known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, his mental fortitude was incredibly strong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone mad after committing so many atrocities; his mental state was incredibly stable.

Yet, Xiang Yuanbai was driven to suicide by Xiao Tian's actions.

This showed just how excessive the Prince's actions were.

"Why, I was being sincere." Xiao Tian didn't understand, looking at Zhong Ling and Liu Yan, spreading his hands, "I was even thinking of sparing his life, so why did he kill himself?"

Zhong Ling and Liu Yan both twitched at Xiao Tian's words, unable to speak.

They wanted to advise Xiao Tian.

Be a human!

"Prince, the first thing we need to consider now is how to destroy the evidence, right?" Zhong Ling spoke again, changing the subject.

Xiao Tian nodded, glanced back, and realized the commotion this time seemed a bit large.

Destroying the traces might be quite troublesome.

Beside him, Liu Yan also spoke up, "The Young General is right, Prince. The most important thing is this Dark Poison Swamp. If its poison isn't dealt with..."

The Dark Poison Swamp was nothing to Xiao Tian, but to the people of Qingyan Town, to ordinary people, it was extremely terrifying.

Touch it and you die.

"If I remember correctly, heading straight in this direction leads to the Great Yan Dynasty, right?" Xiao Tian suddenly asked Zhong Ling.

"Yes, over there indeed..." Zhong Ling hadn't even finished her sentence when she saw Xiao Tian crouch down in front of her, preparing to punch, his expression changing drastically.

"Prince, you, you, you... what are you doing!"

"Destroying the evidence!" Xiao Tian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he suddenly punched forward.

Boom!!!

A terrifying explosion resounded instantly, a violent hurricane sweeping through, blowing Zhong Ling and Liu Yan away.

They flew through the air until they hit the array barrier of Qingyan Town, finally stopping.

The earth-shaking commotion made Zhong Ling and Liu Yan, who slid down the barrier to the ground, almost unable to stand.

Soon, the commotion disappeared, and the two managed to stand up, rushing forward to return to Xiao Tian's side.

The dust ahead was so thick they couldn't see anything.

"Whoosh!!"

At that moment, they saw Xiao Tian's chest inflate, and then he blew forcefully forward.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept through, revealing the scene ahead.

Zhong Ling swallowed, trembling, grabbing onto Xiao Tian to avoid collapsing to the ground.

Thud!

Beside her, Liu Yan had already plopped down on the ground, staring ahead in a daze.

"Prince, how exactly do you understand the term 'destroying evidence'?" Zhong Ling asked, trembling.

Xiao Tian, hands on his hips, looked ahead with satisfaction, confidently answering, "As long as you completely change the landscape, leaving no trace of the past, that's called destroying evidence!"

Zhong Ling's face was filled with horror: "Prince, what you did is called changing the world!"
