The ability of stealing someone's Celestial Spirit was something she had. She could steal someone's Celestial Spirit with the Book that she always carried, and that's why she knew just how strong this ability was.
Even when she used the book and stole someone's Celestial Spirit, she couldn't erase their soul mark. She could only erase the Stars in their Celestial Spirit Marks. At best their marks were left a little faded, but in your case, the entire mark had disappeared.
It was as if someone devoured the entire Celestial Spirit which even she couldn't do. Some unknown person possessed an ability, similar to what the mysterious book granted her! And that person was watching the City at the moment, remaining completely under her radar.
For a moment, she thought if it was another heaven's chosen.
In her life, she had come across multiple Children of Destiny, and she had killed almost all of them, attracting Heavenly Oath Wrath. Her negative karma was already in the hundreds of thousands.
She was the demon that had destroyed the fate of this world by cutting the journey of these heroes short. So it made her think if it was really about a person like that.
She seriously considered the possibility, but in the end, she brushed that thought off her mind. A Heaven's Chosen wasn't supposed to have such a Demonic Power, even if it was to kill her.
"Who are you...?" She asked as she turned around. "Is this really just a coincidence that you're here at this time? Or do you know more than you should?"
Her expressions were quite serious. Her plan was already in motion and the Formation was about to be completed. She also had the Celestial Lotus.
Usually, a Celestial Lotus would've been destroyed after a few days if it wasn't stored carefully or used right away, but she already had a method prepared.
Everything was on the last stage and the appearance of someone like this at this moment made her concerned for the first time in a long while. She pondered if he knew about the Grand Formation and her goals.
"There's no way for anyone else to know... But there are many things in this world that defy common sense. I can't stay under the assumption that the person won't know about it. I must increase the security around the Formation."
The Divine Queen stepped out of the building. Her mysterious force carried the lifeless body of Xue in the air behind her.
Seeing the body behind her, the Clan Leaders were even more shocked. They landed next to the Queen. A General had also died in this? They never could've expected an outcome like that.
Since the Demons were dead, the Citizens had also come out. Seeing the dead body of General Xue, they fell to their knees. If they were alive at the moment, it was all because of him. They couldn't believe that their Savior had died at the hands of a Demon.
Only the ones who were close to the body knew that it wasn't the case. The wound on his chest wasn't from the Demons. It was made from a dagger... A sharp dagger.
Mixed in the crowd was also the Inn's Owner. He came to see the fall of the City and the Death of the Queen, but he didn't expect an outcome like this.
Even the Artificial Demons failed before her. Let alone fail, they couldn't even stand a single second before her.
Their hearts were shaking. This was the person they had to kill to free their Kingdom!
His eyes landed on General Xue. Noticing the dagger wound on the man's chest, his pupils trembled. It hadn't been long since he saw a dagger user who defeated all of them without even making any noise. He had a feeling that the same person killed General Xue!
What they and their Demons failed to do, was done by the stranger.
'Just who is he?!' He frowned, but deep in his heart, he felt elated. Xu Shan had killed a General and he was definitely destined to clash with the queen. Their demons failed, but that didn't mean the plan was over. They could still work with that man and help him kill the queen.
Unfortunately, he still didn't know just what Xu Shan's real goal was. He thought that Xu Shan wanted to take Revenge on the Queen as well. The Queen had committed many atrocities throughout the world after all. He really hoped that it was that case but in the back of his mind, there was another thought.
What if Xu Shan wanted to take out the Divine Queen only to take over the Empire for himself. If that was the case, was he any different than the Queen? To that question, he convinced himself that the answer was yes.
Even if Xu Shan took over the Empire, it was better than the Divine Queen who had the blood of her family in her own hand. The Rebels hated the Queen the most in the world. For them, literally anyone was better than the Queen to rule over the Empire.
Moreover, Xu Shan wasn't an indiscriminate killer. He was convinced of that when Xu Shan let them live even after they all tried to kill him. That showed that the man wasn't just a rageful person who was killed without reason.
****
While the Inn Owner was going through many unclear emotions, Xu Shan walked past the areas that were usually heavily guarded.
As he moved further, he sensed his bracelet react, particularly when he walked past a certain clan estate.
The estate was huge, spread for hundreds of acres, with lush gardens and intricate architecture.
He looked at the estate, realizing that the girl he had to save was in the estate, and she was still alive. Still, he didn't enter the clan. He had something more important to do.
He dashed past the Clan and continued towards the Royal Palace.
