"Milord, with the cooperation of the newly appointed Grand Supervisor of the Inner Palace He Changying, this subordinate obtained much top-secret intelligence recorded within the Secret Directorate. It can mutually corroborate the intelligence this subordinate has uncovered.
Under the current circumstances, it can basically be confirmed that the Dongyang Lineage—including Dongyang Si Chen, and even several old ancestors of the Dongyang Family who may still be slumbering—does not possess any means of controlling Sun Fire, or anything similar to Sun Fire," Niu Er reported.
"So, we can basically rule out the suspicion that an expert of the Dongyang Clan killed Demon Emperor Fifth Crown Prince Po Yue?" Ye Zhen asked.
At this, Niu Er nodded. "Milord, that is indeed the case. However, it cannot be ruled out that the Dongyang Family has retainers or friends capable of controlling Sun Fire, or possessing methods similar to Sun Fire."
"This matter carries consequences as vast as the sky. So long as someone has a normal head on their shoulders, no one would ask a friend or retainer to make a move.
Even if they had a retainer or friend of that caliber, they likely would not do such a thing."
After all, once the news broke, they might face the fury of the entire Devil Race, even including Great Zhou's top experts.
"Since the Dongyang Family can be ruled out, who else is a suspect?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Reporting to Milord: Heaven Temple!"
"Heaven Temple? Explain." A sharp gleam flickered in Ye Zhen's eyes.
If the Devil Race higher-ups knew that Ye Zhen was still investigating the cause of Demon Emperor Fifth Crown Prince Po Yue's death, they would probably be overwhelmed with complicated emotions.
How was Ye Zhen, an outsider and an enemy, more conscientious about this matter than they were?
