Back with the main force.
Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Fusheng, raising an eyebrow slightly, as if asking if the matter had been resolved.
Mu Fusheng gave a wry smile and recounted what had happened to his fellow disciples.
This made Ye Qiubai and the others glance at the small wooden house on the tiger's back.
So ruthless, truly befitting royalty.
Immediately, Ye Qiubai and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes to Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng was taken aback, then his face darkened as he said, "None of us want to inherit the throne, so why are you looking at me? Besides, I have a very good relationship with my elder brother and sister, okay?"
True friendship can only exist when there is no conflict of interest.
Last night, tomorrow we'll arrive in Nine Dragons City.
The Ninth Prince decided to rest in an open space, but he could not let his guard down until the very end.
However, the Ninth Prince no longer needed to hide in the wooden house. He walked over and sat down next to Mu Fusheng and the others, then looked at Mu Fusheng and asked with a smile, "Where did Brother Mu go during the day?"
Mu Fusheng smiled and said, "It's just reporting the completion of the mission to the academy."
"Oh? A report requires such a long absence?" The Ninth Prince looked at Mu Fusheng, a smile still playing on his lips, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Is it necessary to meet with Brother Cheng?"
After saying this, the Ninth Prince kept staring at Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng's expression remained unchanged. He smiled faintly and said, "Of course not. I'm not on the same side as him. It just so happens that my senior brother is nearby. I'll go over and tell him, then hand him the mission scroll."
The Ninth Prince nodded slightly, seemingly without suspicion. He rose, supporting himself on his knees, and said with a smile, "Alright, we'll arrive in Nine Dragons City after tonight. I will host a banquet for you all then and present you with your rewards."
After saying this, the Ninth Prince returned to the wooden house.
When the Ninth Prince returned to the wooden house, the Heavenly Thicket Sword Ancestor was there.
The Sword Ancestor asked, "Is it him?"
"It's pretty much a done deal." The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Although there was no change in their expressions, it seems they weren't in cahoots with Feng Ye. Feng Ye did show a hint of surprise, which he quickly concealed, but it wasn't hard to notice."
If Mu Fusheng and the others were all surprised by the Ninth Prince's question, then the Ninth Prince might have some doubts about whether his guess was wrong.
But if only one person exhibits this expression, then something is not right.
Sword Ancestor nodded, not doubting the Ninth Prince's judgment, and said, "If it really is him, then he has been hiding it for too long. Although that aura was only deliberately revealed in a little, it still gave me a feeling that I was completely unable to resist and was no match for him."
"The owner of this aura has probably already reached the Demigod Realm, or even..."
The Ninth Prince smiled and sat down on the recliner, relaxing his body and closing his eyes. He said, "There are two possibilities: either the person behind them came forward personally, or Mu Fusheng has a protective item given to him by that powerful figure. However, I believe the latter more."
"Could the people behind them be those old guys from the Chaotic Spirit Academy?"
"It shouldn't be," the Ninth Prince shook his head. "As far as I know, their origins are unknown. They were brought from elsewhere by the First Elder's personal disciple and suddenly appeared at the Chaotic Spirit Academy."
"However, it shouldn't affect me much, since there's no conflict of interest."
Sword Ancestor hesitated for a moment and said, "But he saw me kill Cheng Dahai and the others."
"It's alright. The fact that he did that shows he doesn't want the Chaotic Spirit Academy to find out." The Ninth Prince smiled knowingly. "If he's smart, he'll pretend he doesn't know."
Sword Ancestor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to be hunted down by those old guys from the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
Killing a close disciple would enrage the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
"Alright, senior, you've worked hard. Please remain silent for a while." The Ninth Prince smiled at the Heavenly Thicket Sword Ancestor and said, "I will introduce you to the Mo Clan then."
The Heavenly Thicket Sword Ancestor was delighted, then cupped his hands in greeting and disappeared into the small wooden house.
The Ninth Prince closed his eyes, humming a little tune, and muttered to himself, "Looks like I need to get on his good side."
"He doesn't seem very strong; he's probably the one hiding the most among that group..."
The sun rises in the east.
At the site of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng's deaths, four men stood around, their faces grim as they stared at the two corpses.
The leader was the Second Elder, while the other three were elders of the Law Enforcement Hall.
After Cheng Dahai died, his soul tablet shattered, and the Second Elder brought the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to this place.
"Can you find out who did it?" The Second Elder's face was as black as if it were about to drip water.
One of the elders from the Law Enforcement Hall knelt on one knee, bending down to examine the bodies of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng, his brows furrowed.
"The message and the image of them before their deaths were erased by the murderer, and there were no other traces or signs of resistance from Cheng Dahai and the others, which indicates that the perpetrator's strength far surpasses theirs... at least Ancestor Realm expert."
Another elder from the Law Enforcement Hall looked at the Sword Qi still lingering between his brows.
" Sword Dao Ancestor Realm Ancestor Realm experts are few and far between on the Heavenly Mystery Continent; however, it would be extremely difficult to identify them all."
"After all, those Sword Dao Ancestor Realm experts are like dragons whose heads are seen but not their tails."
The Second Elder said with a stern face, "The mission they accepted is related to the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty, isn't it? Does the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty have any Sword Dao masters?"
All three elders of the Law Enforcement Hall shook their heads.
Seeing this, the Second Elder knew that continuing the search would be fruitless, and even if there were clues, a powerful expert at this level would not leave them behind.
Thinking of this, the Second Elder suddenly remembered the specially admitted students, one of whom was focused on Sword Dao.
Could it be someone behind them?
However, the matter is still undecided, and the Second Elder had no choice but to order the bodies of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng to be brought back to the academy.
Let's wait until those specially admitted students return before asking about it.
Nine Dragons City.
Amidst the welcoming presence of numerous ministers, the Ninth Prince returned to his own Azure Dragon Courtyard.
At the same time, Ye Qiubai and others also arrived at this place.
The Ninth Prince handed the mission scroll, stamped with his seal, to Feng Ye, along with a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
Simply by holding it in your palm, you can feel the roar of a giant dragon and the immense aura of its soul!
Nine Dragons He Shi Bi!
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "If you're not in a hurry, why don't you leave a little later? I'll host a banquet for you then, as a way of thanking you for your escort these past few days."
"Oh, by the way, many talented young people will be there, so you can exchange skills with each other."
Feng Ye, who was about to refuse, lit up after hearing these words and immediately nodded in agreement.
Ye Qiubai and the others exchanged helpless glances.
The Ninth Prince has probably already thoroughly investigated Feng Ye...
