Isolation and Investigation
Now that Prince Xuan was at the peak of his power, it was not easy to find a chance to deal with him and suppress him. As the Federation's Chief Inspector, the Great Imperial Uncle Long Huai would not treat him lightly.
This time, the investigation team of the Overwatch Council from the headquarters of the Undying Star's Wan Luo Federation Federation was personally led by his deputy. They took a space fortress and descended on the Heavenly Underworld Planet.
Long Huai's deputy was also a member of the Undying Dynasty's royal family, so he also had the surname Long and his name was Long Kui. However, this person was only a side relative of the royal family and belonged to Long Huai's line. In terms of seniority, he was the same as Long Huai. If Ye Xuan came into contact with him as Prince Xuan, he would also call him uncle.
However, compared to Long Huai, Long Tianba, and the other royal uncles, this uncle was clearly much less important. After all, he was only a side relative.
Long Kui and Long Huai were the same. They belonged to the radical and powerful faction. From the fact that the Great Imperial Uncle Long Huai had appointed him as the leader of the Overwatch Council's investigation team, it could be seen that Long Huai was determined to succeed this time. This was clearly a spurt of energy and wanted to push Prince Xuan to the end. At the very least, he wanted to fiercely suppress the momentum of Prince Xuan's limelight.
Once the investigation team arrived on the Heavenly Underworld Planet, they began a comprehensive investigation of Naples and the Xuanyuan family on the same day.
As for Prince Xuan's disappearance, they did not waste their time at all. Tianming's imperial capital had already been thoroughly investigated. Since there was no result, then even if the Federation's Overwatch Council began another investigation, it would be impossible for them to find anything new.
Although this was the truth, they didn't even bother to go through the formalities. As soon as they arrived, they began to investigate Naples and the Xuanyuan family, who were closely related to Prince Xuan. Sima Zhao's intentions were well known.
The entire Tianming's imperial capital was incomparably quiet on this day. Everyone was closely watching the progress of this matter …
Naples was immediately stripped of his position as the commander of the Stronghold Fleet. The entire Stronghold Fleet was temporarily led by Imperial Uncle Long Tianba and returned to the Immortal Star. The purpose of this was obviously to make it easier to investigate Naples in the future, and to separate his direct troops from the commander.
Following the forced departure of the fortress fleet and the return of the Immortal Army, Naples and the Purplish Warbler were brought to the Federation fortress where the investigation team was located by the monitoring officers of the Federation Overwatch Council and isolated for investigation.
Naples was a good match, but when the Overwatch Council's Censor went to the Xuanyuan family to ask the Purplish Warbler to cooperate with the investigation, they were met with some obstacles, and a conflict almost broke out.
In the end, the head of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Bo, was injured. An ancestor of the Xuanyuan family also appeared and ordered the family to restrain themselves. Thus, the officials of the Federation Overwatch Council were able to successfully take the Purplish Warbler away.
This matter caused a stir in Tianming's imperial capital. Originally, because of their relationship with Prince Xuan, the Xuanyuan family could be said to be like the sun in the sky among the top families in Tianming's imperial capital.
However, the world changed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the imperial court had already begun to suppress Prince Xuan. The Xuanyuan family was also implicated. This matter became a joke in Tianming's imperial capital. They said that they had not even hugged Prince Xuan's thighs before they could warm up to him.
…
In the Overwatch Council's Federation fortress, Naples and the Purplish Warbler were locked up in two cabins that were quite far from each other and isolated for investigation.
All the investigation was personally led by the leader of the investigation team, Long Kui.
At this time, this Federation fortress had already left Tianming planet and was returning to the Undying planet.
However, when they came, this starry fortress used wormholes all the way and used the fastest speed to get here. Now that they were returning, they were not in a hurry at all.
This was because the interrogation work would be completed along the way. According to Censor Long Huai's instructions, they had to obtain the confessions of Naples and the Purplish Warbler along the way and confirm the crime of Prince Xuan deliberately killing Wen Xing.
It would be best if they could obtain all the progress in other aspects, such as Prince Xuan colluding with the demons and being a demon spy.
If they could obtain this kind of evidence, then Prince Xuan's complete fall from power was almost certain. There would be no more changes.
Because they could not be in two places, the interrogation of the Purplish Warbler had not yet begun. At this time, Long Huai was leading a few officials of the Overwatch Council to start the interrogation of Naples.
"Now, I can tell you that the High Priest of the Demon Race's Imperial City, Wen Xing, was something that the Federation had to pay an enormous price to win over. For many years, we didn't dare to use him, and we've always been in a nurturing state. Our goal is that he will play a critical role in the final battle with the Heaven's Legacy Race in the future!
Long Kui looked at Naples with a gloomy expression. As he spoke, his expression gradually turned cold.
After a short pause, he snorted coldly and continued, "But now, Wen Xing is dead, and his death is unclear.
"After our investigation, we have confirmed that Wen Xing happened to be in the Black Mosquito Star Zone with Long Xuan before you went to the First Universe. But later, Long Xuan was brought back by you, and Wen Xing inexplicably died …
"Long Xuan also had 10 billion Federation contribution points deducted. You are also a high-ranking member of the Immortal Army, so you should know better than me about the rewards and punishments of military merit. What 10 billion Federation contribution points means, and what kind of great loss would cause so many points to be deducted? I don't think I need to say more.
"Do you have anything to say about this matter?"
Hearing this, Naples immediately frowned and sighed in his heart. He knew that Long Huai would not let this matter go easily and would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.
It was just that Naples did not expect the other party to make trouble so quickly.
The only thing he could do now was to help Prince Xuan as much as possible. After all, the other party's real target was Prince Xuan. Naples had been branded as Prince Xuan, so if Prince Xuan was fine, he would be fine. If Prince Xuan was really pushed to the end and fell in this fierce struggle for imperial power, then he, Naples, would definitely not have a good ending.
Thinking of this, Naples secretly gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and gave a reply that he had already thought of. "Wen Xing's death has nothing to do with Your Highness. At that time, we had not yet met up with Prince Xuan. In order to force the Demon Royal Fleet stationed at the Black Mosquito Star to hand over Prince Xuan, I ordered several Demon Royal Fortresses to be bombarded. Wen Xing happened to be in one of them, so his death can only be considered an accident.
"Besides, before the fleet set off, no one told me about Wen Xing's identity. Even if I knew he was in that fortress, I would still have ordered the attack … If we really want to talk about it, the responsibility of this matter should be on the Federation's higher-ups in charge of contacting Wen Xing!"
"Bang!"
"Impudent!"
