"Buzz!!"
Watching the Round Light Mirror tremble slightly, displaying a blood-colored blur, Ji Haoran remained silent.
But Ji Changkong and the Elders of the Ji Clan who had been to Duanchang Gorge immediately became excited, exclaiming repeatedly, "Yes, thatâs it... "
"Thatâs right, the murderer must be him!"
"..."
For a moment, the crowd buzzed with excitement, and the scene became very noisy and chaotic.
Standing aside, Zhao Donglaiâs eyes were dark, glimmering with cold light.
He thought to himself, Mu Jinyu, letâs see how you remain so arrogant now!
"Silence!"
Seeing the scene becoming more chaotic, Ji Haoran frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
As his shout fell, suddenly no one from the Ji Clan spoke anymore.
The room quieted down.
Yet, Ji Haoran did not immediately determine that the murderer was definitely Mu Jinyu; being rigorous, he continued using the Round Light Mirror on each suspect one by one.
Soon, the hundred people from Dongyue Mansion who had previously entered the Tiangan Secret Realm were all searched by Ji Haoran.
Most of the people had already died within the Tiangan Secret Realm.
And among those who were alive, apart from Mu Jinyu, the whereabouts of everyone else could be detected with the Round Light Mirror!
The result was clear, Mu Jinyu was most likely the true murderer of Ji Changfei!
After seeing this result, Ji Changkong and other Ji Clan members couldnât help but become restless, their eyes filled with a murderous intent, eager to rush to Dongyue Mansion to settle the score with Mu Jinyu!
Kill him to avenge Ji Changfei!
The royal family cannot be insulted!
Especially not by ordinary members of the Dongyue Mansion!
However, because of their previous experience of being rebuked by the Clan Leader, although some Ji Clan members were slightly agitated, they didnât break out into a large-scale argument again.
After finishing checking the situation at Dongyue Mansion, although Ji Haoran was quite convinced that Mu Jinyu was most likely the culprit.
But to have more justification for holding Dongyue Mansion accountable,
he didnât end the search just like this.
Instead, together with the imperial clans like the Yaao Clan, Gui Clan, Jiang Clan, and Ying Clan, he carefully used the Round Light Mirror to search all their members who had previously entered the Tiangan Secret Realm.
The result showed!
Except when searching Mu Jinyu, the Round Light Mirror became a blood-colored blur, unable to detect anything, everyone else could be detected by his Round Light Mirror!
"Thatâs it!"
"This person is most likely the true murderer of Ji Changfei!"
Ji Haoran finally spoke, confirming the conclusion!
"We must attack Dongyue Mansion and make Wei Qiankun hand over this murderer!"
"Previously at Duanchang Gorge, Wei Qiankun dared to harbor this thief; he must be killed along with him!"
"The royal family cannot be insulted, these despicable Humans dare offend our Ji Imperial Clan, dare to kill Brother Fei and seize the Yang Kun Sword Replica! What is Dongyue Mansion trying to do?"
"Do they want to study the might of our Ji Imperial Clanâs treasure by taking the Yang Kun Sword Replica? Are they planning to attack our Ji Imperial Clan?"
"Dongyue Mansion must give an explanation!"
"..."
The Ji Imperial Clan was ablaze with excitement and murderous intent, completely disregarding Dongyue Mansion.
They shouted to rush to Dongyue Mansion immediately and settle the score with Wei Qiankun and Mu Jinyu.
Reclaim the Yang Kun Sword Replica!
Seeing this, Zhao Donglaiâs lips curved slightly, thinking to himself, now letâs see who can protect you, Mu Jinyu!
Thinking for a moment, he decided to fan the flames of anger among the Ji Clan!
"Oh, I remember your noble clan was previously intruded upon by outsiders to forcibly borrow the âHumanity Path Sutraâ and other classics, right?"
Zhao Donglai spoke up.
"Huh?!"
Hearing Zhao Donglaiâs words, the people of the Ji Imperial Clan suddenly fixed their gazes, glaring at Zhao Donglai with unfriendly eyes.
Being forcibly intruded upon and having their Humanity Path Sutra and other Humanity classics borrowed by Qingli was considered a humiliation to them.
Now being brought up again by Zhao Donglai made them feel he was deliberately provoking them.
"Are you provoking us?"
Ji Changkong glared coldly at Zhao Donglai, shouting in a deep voice.
"No, no, I just might have guessed who, among those who followed War Clanâs Heavenâs Pride Qingli into your noble land to borrow the Humanity Path Sutra, might have been!"
Zhao Donglai hurriedly replied.
These people really have a fiery temper!
They canât listen to him calmly.
"Who?!"
Hearing Zhao Donglaiâs words, the people of the Ji Clan became interested again, urging Zhao Donglai to reveal the other personâs identity.
Because they were gradually realizing that the other person Qingli had brought along might not have been a War Clan person but could have been a Human!
"It might also be Mu Jinyu!" Zhao Donglai answered.
"What?!"
"How could it be..."
Hearing Zhao Donglaiâs words, the people of the Ji Clan were stunned, speaking in disbelief.
They never thought that the matter they considered disgraceful to the Ji Imperial Clan was also connected to Mu Jinyu.
In fact, Ji Changkong and others, in the Tiangan Secret Realm, had already known that Mu Jinyu was a pure-blooded Human and that he was the one who followed Qingli to break into various imperial clanâs scripture pavilions to forcibly borrow books!
But because Mu Jinyu brainwashed them with the Three Life Stone, erasing memories regarding this matter, they were now unclear about Mu Jinyu being that person again!
Zhao Donglai said with a smile, "What you may not know is that Mu Jinyu is a pure-blooded Human, cultivating the Humanity Path Sutra!"
"Hmm?" Ji Haoran frowned, speaking in a low voice, "That doesnât necessarily mean he was the one who forcibly entered our scripture pavilion, right?"
"Hmm, just being a pure-blooded Human, just cultivating the Humanity Path Sutra, indeed cannot confirm he was the one; after all, the Humanity Path Sutra isnât exclusive to the imperial clans, some others also have it!"
Zhao Donglai didnât refute but nodded in agreement.
"But may I say that when this guy joined Dongyue Mansion a few months ago, his cultivation was only at the Early Divine Transformation Realm Stage?" Zhao Donglai continued with a faint smile.
"What?!"
"Impossible?!"
"I remember during the Tiangan Secret Realm, his cultivation was already at the Void Breaking Realm!"
"How could his cultivation surge from the Divine Transformation Realm to this extent in just a few months?!"
"..."
Hearing Zhao Donglaiâs words, Ji Changkong and the Ji Clan members all experienced a sharp contraction of pupils, exclaiming in disbelief.
They couldnât accept this fact.
If it were true, wouldnât it mean their proud ten strong foreign race bloodlines, their claimed noble imperial status, were far inferior to a pure-blooded Human?
This would be trampling their pride underfoot, turning them into a laughingstock!
"It is indeed so!"
"I have no reason to deceive you!"
"If you investigate in Dongyue Mansion, youâll see if itâs true!"
Zhao Donglai said with a smile.
"Hmm?!"
Ji Haoran pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing, and he asked sternly, "Do you mean his original cultivation wasnât limited to the Divine Transformation Realm, but he chose to sever his bloodline, transform into a pure-blooded Human, and cultivated the rather generic Blood Tempering Chapter, reaching the Early Divine Transformation Realm Stage, and because there was no subsequent Cultivation Technique, he was stuck in the Divine Transformation Realm until later when he obtained the subsequent Chapters of the Humanity Path Sutra from various imperial clans, and thatâs why his cultivation rapidly rose to the Void Breaking Realm level?!"
"Thatâs right!"
Zhao Donglai nodded, "Moreover, I have investigated; during his time away from Dongyue Mansion, he had visited Cangyan State, and War Clanâs Qingli had also gone to Cangyan State to compete for the Human Emperorâs Relic! They possibly met because of this!"
"And during the time when Qingli and Mu Jinyu visited each imperial clan to forcibly borrow the Humanity Path Sutra, there was no news of Mu Jinyu. When he returned, his cultivation had reached the Unity Realm Stage..."
