Outside the Boundary Mountain, Mu Zhengting had already sent troops to garrison there beforehand.
This is to prevent the Extraterrestrial Evil Race from suddenly launching an attack, crossing the Boundary Mountain, and carrying out a general offensive against the Boundless Realm!
But.
This is the news I'm hearing now.
This made Mu Zhengting's face extremely ugly.
Based on the information...
It certainly wasn't the work of the Extraterrestrial Evil Race.
If the Evil Race crosses the Boundary Mountain...
The array set up inside the Boundary Mountain could not possibly remain completely unresponsive!
Whether it's destroyed or forcibly crossed, Mu Zhengting will be able to find out immediately!
Since that's the case.
Who made that move?
Insiders?
Mu Zhengting's expression was extremely solemn if this were truly the case.
That means that within the Boundless Realm, there are people colluding with Extraterrestrial Evil Race.
Or perhaps they intend to launch a sudden attack at this critical juncture, when the royal family's internal power is scattered!
There is such a motivation.
Moreover, only one person's recent actions have attracted Mu Zhengting's attention.
That's what I've been thinking about.
Mu Zhengting said, "Summon Prince Linlong!"
The ministers exchanged glances, then immediately agreed.
Not long after.
Prince Linlong, dressed in a purple-gold python robe, slowly walked into the main hall.
This purple-gold python robe was a gift from the late king.
In recognition of Prince Linlong's outstanding contributions to the Boundless Dynasty!
Prince Linlong walked up to Mu Zhengting, knelt down on both knees, buried his head in the ground, and said loudly, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
From the current perspective...
Prince Linlong's loyalty is beyond question.
Moreover, the imperial purple-gold python robe bestowed upon him granted him the privilege of not having to kneel before the emperor.
However, Prince Linlong still kneels on both knees to show his loyalty!
But.
That's why.
The more suspicious Mu Zhengting becomes, the greater his suspicions will be!
Prince Linlong harbored immense ambitions, and he was also extremely arrogant.
This is the approach.
This further aroused Mu Zhengting's suspicion.
However, Mu Zhengting did not show it directly. Instead, he smiled, got up, walked to Prince Linlong, and reached out his hands to help him up.
"I wonder how the Prince is doing lately?"
Prince Linlong rose and said with a smile, "I am at ease when the dynasty is well."
"Of course it's good."
Mu Zhengting nodded vigorously, "Then I'm relieved. After all, the Prince is a great contributor to the dynasty, and there will be a series of matters that require his attention in the future. Please take good care of your health!"
Prince Linlong knelt down again!
"Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail in your trust! I will go through fire and water for the dynasty without hesitation!"
The tone of his voice was as genuine as it could possibly be.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought that Prince Linlong was truly a model of loyalty.
"However, His Majesty summoned me here not for this matter, was it?"
Prince Linlong watched as Mu Zhengting returned to the throne, a fleeting glint of greed flashing in his eyes.
Mu Zhengting sat down and said, "The troops stationed outside Boundary Mountain were ambushed by mysterious people. I wonder if Your Highness is aware of this?"
They've started to suspect me?
This was Prince Linlong's thought after hearing these words.
However, he had already made preparations.
After all, he had already anticipated that the emperor would suspect him.
Prince Linlong feigned surprise, then his eyes filled with anger.
He shouted, "Who dares to do such a thing!"
Mu Zhengting stared intently at Prince Linlong, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know. No one saw the person's face clearly, and even the aura and Cultivation Method they used are unheard of."
"To act at this critical juncture, what are their intentions!" Prince Linlong roared, his eyes blazing with anger. "Could it be that some sect within our realm is colluding with the Extraterrestrial Evil Race?"
Mu Zhengting nodded and said, "I have the same concern."
Prince Linlong cupped his hands and said, "I beg Your Majesty to send me there! I will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly and find the culprit!"
During this period.
Mu Zhengting kept his eyes fixed on Prince Linlong.
Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said, "That won't be necessary. Prince Linlong has many matters to attend to. I will send others to investigate."
"In that case, I will await good news."
Mu Zhengting waved his hand and said, "Escort the Prince back to his residence."
Prince Linlong cupped his hands and said, "Your subject takes his leave!"
After Prince Linlong left.
Mu Zhengting sat on the throne, lost in thought.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong."
Behind the throne, a figure clad in black robes emerged.
Mu Zhengting, however, was not surprised by this. Instead, he replied with a deep look in his eyes, "The biggest problem is precisely because there is no problem."
The man in black robes was slightly surprised. "Oh? You mean he went too far?"
Mu Zhengting nodded and said, "That's right. Next, I'll need you to monitor his next moves."
The man in black nodded and then vanished from the spot.
Mu Zhengting raised his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly, "Given the current situation, we cannot afford any internal strife. If it does occur, we must act swiftly and decisively, at any cost!"
On the other side.
Prince Linlong has returned to his residence.
His expression turned grave, and he immediately summoned several of his personal guards.
"You must immediately proceed to Boundary Mountain and investigate thoroughly to find out who attacked the army Boundary Mountain!"
The guards were all taken aback.
Seeing this, Prince Linlong explained the whole story.
"I can't take the blame for this, especially not under these circumstances!"
The guards exchanged glances, then immediately nodded!
They all knew about the prince's plans.
Indeed, under these circumstances, it's unacceptable to expose ourselves prematurely and take the blame for nothing!
Once confirmed, it was Prince Linlong who did it.
That could lead to utter destruction, or even death!
after all.
Sometimes, evidence isn't needed; just a few clues that lead to the conclusion that Prince Linlong was behind it are enough to take action.
You should know that the imperial court has already begun to suspect Prince Linlong!
so.
They must find out who's behind this!
After the guards had all left.
A handsome man suddenly appeared before Prince Linlong.
"Was this done by you?"
Prince Linlong stared at the handsome man.
The handsome man shook his head.
Seeing this, Prince Linlong had no doubts.
After all, given this man's abilities, there was no need for him to hide this matter.
"I need to think about this carefully."
After speaking, Prince Linlong entered the room.
The handsome man remained rooted to the spot, deep in thought.
He always felt that something was wrong with this whole thing!
On the other side.
Ye Qiubai and the others have already entered the lower three levels!
And among the lower three levels.
The scene is completely different now!
Before their very eyes.
It's a blood-red plain!
It stretches as far as the eye can see!
In the distance, amidst the thick fog, stood a dark palace, its features faintly visible.
There is nothing else!
And above the sky.
It possessed the aura of more than a dozen Dao Integration Realm experts!
Among them are powerful figures from the Extraterrestrial Evil Race and various sects in the Boundless Realm!
The two sides are currently in a standoff!
