Mo Ling, Su Zimo …
Frowning, the emperor fell into deep thought.
How was that possible?
Even though the truth was out, the emperor was still unwilling to believe it.
How could two completely different images in his heart turn into the same person in the end?
After pondering for a moment, the emperor called out in a deep voice, "Men!"
Before long, two guards appeared and knelt on one knee with respectful expressions, awaiting the emperor's orders.
"Go and get the deputy commander of the Imperial army, Dai Xu."
The emperor did not know much about the situation of the Su family and intended to ask Dai Xu again.
When they heard the emperor's words, the two guards froze and exchanged glances with troubled expressions. However, they did not leave immediately.
"What's wrong?" The emperor glared.
The two guards shuddered and one of them said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Dai died more than ten days ago and his corpse was found in a forest dozens of kilometers away from the capital."
"Dead?"
The emperor's eyes narrowed with a cold glint.
The other guard said, "Deputy Commander Dai's throat was shattered. By the looks of it, it was crushed by the claws of a demon beast. Initial judgment is that he was attacked by a spirit beast."
The emperor asked expressionlessly, "Is his storage bag still around?"
"It's gone."
The emperor sneered, "The fact that his storage bag is gone means that he must have been killed by someone!"
Although spirit demons possessed intelligence, they could not open the storage bags of cultivators and it was meaningless for them to take away the storage bags.
The death of an Imperial army deputy commander was not a big deal in the palace and typically, the emperor would not hear of it.
Even if he did, he could not be bothered about the death of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
But now that he received this news, the emperor vaguely felt that something was amiss.
It was too much of a coincidence!
After pondering for a moment, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Go and summon the Imperial army that accompanied the third princess to Ping Yang Town of Yan Country a few years ago. Also, summon the Imperial army that was patrolling the palace with Dai Xu before he died! "
"Understood!"
The two guards retreated.
…
People came and went on the long street.
Two of the cultivators walked among the crowd, attracting the attention of many cultivators. Their gazes contained traces of respect and fear.
"Do you see that? Their robes, the emblem on their sleeves, and the sect medallions on their waists indicate that they are cultivators from one of the five great sects, the Southern Mountains Sect!"
"The one in front should be Perfected Yun Shan of the Southern Mountains Sect. The young man behind him should be the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Southern Mountains Sect. His name is Shi Jian."
"I've heard that Shi Jian is very powerful and has already unlocked five spirit meridians. It's enough for him to fight for a spot on the Spirit Ranking."
Not long after, the two of them were submerged in the crowd.
Soon, another female cultivator walked out of the crowd, causing the crowd to whisper.
"Look, that looks like Adept Yi Ning of the Azure Frost Sect."
"Yes, it really is her. Although she's a little older, she still looks as beautiful as ever.
"Looks like the Azure Frost Sect will be led by Daoist Master Yi Ning."
Not long after, Daoist Yi Ning gradually disappeared into the distance under everyone's gaze.
Not long after, another three cultivators walked over.
The leader was a person in green robes who was at the Jin Dan realm. With one hand behind his back, his eyes were long and narrow. His gaze was sharp and cold as he walked over slowly.
Behind that person, a man and woman walked side by side. Both of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The man was extraordinarily handsome and his eyes were like stars. With a smile on his face, he was chatting softly with the woman beside him.
The woman wore a light green dress and was only in her twenties. Her skin was whiter than snow and she exuded a gentle aura.
"Look, the three of them are from Iridescent Clouds Palace!"
"If I'm not wrong, the green-robed cultivator in the lead should be Perfected Being Cang Lang of Iridescent Clouds Palace. It's said that he's extremely strong and has even cultivated an extremely powerful Jin Dan phenomenon. He's one of the top experts of the Jin Dan realm!"
"The handsome man behind him is Si Yutang. He should be here to fight for a spot on the Spirit Ranking. It's said that he has already unlocked five spirit meridians and can be considered as a paragon of Iridescent Clouds Palace's Foundation Establishment realm."
"That woman seems to be called Meng Qi or something. She looks pretty good."
"If she can be brought along by Perfected Being Cang Lang and stand side by side with Si Yutang, her strength shouldn't be too bad either."
Amidst everyone's discussions, the three of them gradually walked away.
"Eh? Look at the cultivators from the Southern Mountains Sect, Azure Frost Sect, and Iridescent Clouds Palace. They seem to be heading in the same direction. Could something big have happened over there?" At this moment, someone reacted and asked.
"You don't even know about that?"
"Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop is holding an auction at the beginning of the month today. The cultivators of the three major sects must be there to customize supreme-grade spirit weapons."
When he heard the discussions at the side, the handsome man from Iridescent Clouds Palace, Si Yutang, smiled. "Junior sister, look. Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop's auction at the beginning of every month is a rare event in the capital."
"Yes."
Chen Meng Qi nodded with a look of shock in her eyes.
Along the way, almost all the cultivators were discussing Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop's auction today.
Furthermore, they were not the only ones. It was said that even Southern Mountains Sect and Azure Frost Sect were participating in this auction!
The fact that a Weapon Refinement Master could wield such power in the capital, almost to the point of being able to summon the wind and rain, had already convinced Chen Meng Qi completely.
Even someone as strong as her master, Perfected Being Cang Lang, did not have such influence!
Chen Meng Qi yearned and said, "I wonder what this Mr. Mo looks like. It would be great if I had the chance to befriend him."
"That's difficult."
Si Yutang shook his head. "It's said that very few people have been able to meet Mr. Mo in the three years since Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop opened. Not to mention befriending him, even having the opportunity to meet Mr. Mo is worth bragging about for a while. "
Chen Meng Qi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little disappointed.
Si Yutang consoled her, "However, don't worry, junior sister. Master is here for the supreme-grade spirit weapon this time round! If master succeeds, we might be able to bask in his glory and have a chance to meet Mr. Mo in person. "
Chen Meng Qi nodded.
"I'll definitely succeed!"
Right then, Perfected Being Cang Lang said indifferently with a firm tone without turning back.
He had prepared for more than three years for the sake of this supreme-grade spirit weapon auction and was confident that he would be able to obtain the opportunity to customize a supreme-grade spirit weapon!
Before long, the three of them arrived in the vicinity of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
The three of them looked over and could not help but be dumbfounded, unable to conceal the shock in their eyes.
Even Perfected Being Cang Lang's expression changed slightly.
There were way too many people at the entrance of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop!
At a glance, there were more than ten thousand cultivators gathered here. It was a dense crowd that was extremely majestic.
Sweeping through the crowd, there were more than a thousand Perfected Jin Dan cultivators among them!
It was rare to see so many Perfected Jin Dan cultivators.
But now, all of them were gathered at the entrance of this seemingly ordinary residence, waiting and looking into the residence continuously.
