Qi Linxian grew even more irritated as he spoke:
"And that Instantaneous Movement Array—I studied it for over half a year, and the first time I used it, Zeng Shilin bound me up..."
"Mmph, mmph, mmph..."
His eyes widened. Suddenly, he realized he could no longer open his mouth and could only make muffled "mmph" sounds from his throat!!
Without his noisy voice.
Master Xu slowly closed his eyes, his voice long and distant. "Zeng Anmin... Ask the Heavens Formation..."
The main hall fell silent.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked toward Sai Chuxue.
"Your master needs to trouble you with one more matter."
Sai Chuxue was somewhat displeased and muttered, "You didn't give me anything for going down to Jiangnan to catch that traitorous disciple..."
"Go to the palace and tell Emperor Jianhong that Qi Linxian colluded with Prince Jiang in rebellion. This traitorous disciple should be dealt with by our Profound Formation Division."
The capital, imperial palace, Imperial Study.
Emperor Jianhong sat calmly within the Imperial Study, reading the memorial that had been rushed over from Two Rivers Prefecture by fast horse.
The memorial came in two parts.
The first memorial covered everything from the Dragon Survey Map Theft Case to Prince Jiang's eventual execution, as well as Two Rivers Prefecture Governor Qi Xiande leading troops to attack the Xuanjing Division...
It ran to nearly two thousand characters at the very least.
The first five hundred characters were Governor of Fengqi Road Zeng Shilin's greetings to Emperor Jianhong.
The remaining fifteen hundred characters detailed the Dragon Survey Map Theft Case, the case involving Shuidu Academy student Zhang Lun, the Black Cat Martial Artist's assassination attempt on Zeng Anmin, Left Clerk of the Xuanjing Division, and then how Zeng Anmin followed the clues
