Chapter 1314 The Nine Dragons Jade Bi (34)

Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Nine Dragons Jade Bi (3/4) Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Nine Dragons Jade Bi (3/4) Back within the main force.

Ye Qiubai looked toward Mu Fusheng, his eyebrows slightly raising, as if inquiring whether the matter had been resolved.

Mu Fusheng gave a wry smile and recounted the incident to his fellow disciples.

This also caused Ye Qiubai and the others to cast a glance at the small wooden hut on the back of the tiger.

So ruthless, truly a member of the royal family.

Following that, Ye Qiubai and the others couldn’t help but unanimously turn their gazes toward Mu Fusheng.

Mu Fusheng was startled, then said with a darkened face, “Guys, I don’t even want to succeed the throne, so why are you looking at me? Besides, I have a very harmonious relationship with my Imperial Brother and sisters.”

Without conflicting interests, true friendship can exist.

…

The last night before reaching Jiulong City was upon them.

The Crown Prince still decided to make final preparations on an open piece of land, ensuring that they remained vigilant until the end.

However, the Crown Prince didn’t need to stay hidden in the wooden hut anymore; he walked over and sat down next to Mu Fusheng and the others. He then looked at Mu Fusheng and smiled, “Where did Brother Mu go during the day?”

Mu Fusheng smiled and said, “I was just reporting the completion of our task to the academy.”

“Oh? Did reporting take so long that you had to leave?” The Crown Prince looked at Mu Fusheng, his mouth still bearing a smile, his eyes slightly squinting, “Did you need to meet with Brother Cheng for it?”

After finishing these words, the Crown Prince’s gaze fixed on Mu Fusheng.

Yet Mu Fusheng’s expression didn’t change at all; he chuckled lightly and said, “Of course not, I don’t stand on the same ground as him. It just so happened that an elder brother was nearby, so I went over to inform him and hand over the task scroll to him.”

The Crown Prince nodded slightly, seeming not to have any suspicions. He stood up, supporting his knee, and smiled, “Alright then, we’ll reach Jiulong City after tonight. At that time, I will host a banquet for you all and then give you your rewards.”

Having said that, the Crown Prince returned to the wooden hut.

When the Crown Prince returned to the wooden hut, Dao Ancestor Tian Cong was astonishingly inside.

The Dao Ancestor spoke, “Is it him?”

“Almost definitely.” The Crown Prince smiled and said, “Although their expressions did not change among the brothers, it seems they hadn’t coordinated well with Fengye. That caused Fengye to reveal a hint of surprise, which was quickly concealed, but it was still not hard to notice.”

If everyone had shown surprise at the Crown Prince’s question, then the Crown Prince might still have suspicions about whether his guess was wrong.

But if only one person showed such an expression, that was troubling.

The Dao Ancestor nodded, not doubting the Crown Prince’s insight, but said, “If it really is him, then he’s hidden himself too deeply. That hint of aura, although revealed on purpose, gave me a feeling of defenselessness, that I am completely not his match.”

“The owner of that aura, I estimate, has already reached the realm of the Demigod, or even…”

The Crown Prince, sitting back on the lounge chair, relaxed his body and closed his eyes, “There are two possibilities, either the person behind them came out personally, or Mu Fusheng has a protective item given to him by that formidable figure. But I believe the latter.”

“Could the person behind them be one of those old fellows from the Mixed Spirit Academy?”

“It should not be.” The Crown Prince shook his head, “As far as I know, their backgrounds are unclear. They are personal disciples of the First Elder who were brought over from elsewhere and suddenly introduced into the Mixed Spirit Academy.”

“But it should not affect me, after all, there is no conflict of interest.”

The Dao Ancestor hesitated for a moment then said, “Yet he saw me kill Cheng Dahai and the others.”

“It’s fine, his act indicates that he also does not wish for the Mixed Spirit Academy to find out.” The Crown Prince revealed a smile as if everything was under control, “If he is a smart man, he will pretend to know nothing.”

That finally put the Dao Ancestor at ease.

He certainly did not want to be hunted down by those old fellows from the Mixed Spirit Academy.

After all, killing a personal disciple would certainly enrage the Mixed Spirit Academy.

“Alright, senior, you’ve worked hard. It’s time to lay low for a while,” the Crown Prince said smilingly, looking at the Sword Ancestor. “Later, I will introduce you to the Mo Family.”

The Sword Ancestor’s face lit up with joy, and then he bowed and vanished within the wooden hut.

The Crown Prince closed his eyes, humming a little tune, and murmured to himself, “It seems I need to establish a good relationship with him.”

“He doesn’t appear to be very powerful, probably the one who hid his abilities the deepest among that group…”

…

The sun rose fiercely in the east.

At the death site of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng, four men stood around, looking at the two corpses with grim expressions.

The leader among them was the Second Elder, and the other three were elders from the Law Enforcement Hall.

After Cheng Dahai’s death, his soul token shattered, and the Second Elder immediately brought the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to this place.

“Can you determine who did this?” the face of the Second Elder was as dark as if about to drip with water.

One of the elders from the Law Enforcement Hall knelt on one knee, bending over to examine the bodies of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng, his brows knitted tightly together.

“The message and the pre-death mirror image have been erased by the killer, and there are no other traces around, nor signs of resistance from Cheng Dahai and his companion, which means the assailant’s strength far exceeds theirs… at least an Ancestral Realm powerhouse.”

Another elder from the Law Enforcement Hall looked at the sword qi still lingering around the center of their brows.

“A Sword Dao Ancestor Realm expert, not many who have entered the Ancestral Realm with the sword are found on the Tianji Continent, but it’s extremely difficult to conduct an investigation.”

“After all, those Sword Dao Ancestor Realm powerhouses are like divine dragons which you can’t see the head or tail of.”

The Second Elder said with a stern face, “The task they took on was related to the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, wasn’t it? Does the Divine Dynasty have any Sword Dao experts?”

All three elders from the Law Enforcement Hall shook their heads.

Seeing this, the Second Elder realized that continuing to seek answers this way would surely yield no results, and besides, an expert of this realm would not carelessly leave any clues behind.

At this thought, the Second Elder suddenly remembered the special recruitment students, among whom there was one who focused on Sword Dao.

Could it be someone behind them?

But with things still uncertain, the Second Elder had no choice but to order the bodies of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng to be taken back to the academy.

They would question the special recruitment students after they returned.

…

Jiulong City.

Welcomed by a host of ministers, the Crown Prince returned to his territory within the Azure Dragon Courtyard.

At the same time, Ye Qiubai and the others also arrived.

The Crown Prince handed a task scroll with his seal over to Fengye, as well as a dragon-shaped jade pendant.

Simply holding it in the palm, one could feel the dragon’s roar resonating, and the powerful Dragon Soul Energy!

The Nine Dragons Jade Pendant!

Laughing, the Crown Prince said, “If you’re not in a hurry to leave, how about staying a little longer? I’ll host a banquet for you later, as thanks for your protection these past days.”

“Oh, and by the way, many young talents will be there, and you can also exchange insights with one another.”

Fengye, who initially wanted to refuse, couldn’t help but light up at this and immediately nodded in agreement.

Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged helpless glances.

The Crown Prince had probably investigated Fengye thoroughly already…
