Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Zhang Tie had been missing for 1 week. However, the entire Youzhou Province had become the focus of the world. Figures from all directions converged in Youzhou Province while undercurrents were surging …
In the Ancestral Shrine Palace of Huaiyuan Palace, Embracing Tiger City, Youzhou Province, Zhang Taixuan was sitting face to face with a middle-aged man with narrow eyes and a long face. In a high Xiezhi crown and a Class 1 official robe of Taixia Country, the middle-aged man looked pretty dignified with a killing qi. When he glanced at Zhang Tie, he only slightly squinted his eyes which seemed to be able to penetrate through one's soul and make one's heart tremble.
In front of this man, even Zhang Taixuan dared not violate the rules.
Zhang Taixuan had not taken a rest for 5 consecutive days because of Zhang Tie. During the 5 days, Zhang Taixuan had almost traveled across Youzhou Province and met all kinds of people. He had to appease those people in Huaiyuan Palace. He was really busy. Therefore, he looked more haggard.
Anyone who saw Zhang Taixuan's look would think inside, 'What a master of Huaiyuan Palace! The pillar of Huaiyuan Palace is missing. You could imagine how stressed the master of Huaiyuan Palace is.'
A clan deacon of Huaiyuan Palace hurriedly walked towards Zhang Taixuan with three wooden boxes in his hands. After coming to the front of Zhang Taixuan, he bowed towards Zhang Taixuan respectfully. After that, he put the three wooden boxes on the table. After that, he left obediently.
"Mr. Zhao, here are all the materials about the 3 female disciples of Huaiyuan Palace …" Zhang Taixuan pushed the 3 boxes to the front of that middle-aged man with narrow eyes and a long face with a bitter look, saying, "Hopefully, these materials could be useful to Mr. Zhao. Hopefully, you could catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge for the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace!"
"Is there anything special about the 3 female disciples of Huaiyuan Palace in the latest year? Especially that missing female disciple called Ma Aiyun … "Mr. Zhao opened one of the wooden boxes and took a look at the materials inside. After that, he nodded and put them back into the box.
"I'm usually busy with work, so I've never had any contact with these three female disciples!" Zhang Taixuan said solemnly, "The three female disciples are the first batch of clan disciples who returned to Taixia Country from Waii Subcontinent. They've been staying in Yingzhou Province for over 10 years. I've not imagined that such a thing could happen. I've asked the deacons and stewards of our clan. Over these years, the three female disciples are doing well in Yingzhou Province. Their cultivation experiences are all recorded. Everything is normal …"
"It's said that the three female disciples have a good relationship with Elder Mushen."
"Right, when Elder Mushen cultivated in Hidden Dragon Island, he had already known the three female disciples. They have a good relationship with each other. They even performed clan tasks together. It's said that Elder Mushen took good care of them in Hidden Dragon Island …"
Mr. Zhao slightly narrowed his eyes. However, he didn't look at Zhang Taixuan; instead, he looked at the void while tapping his fingers on the table rhythmically like beating a drum, "Besides you, who else in Huaiyuan Palace knows that Elder Mushen has recovered?"
"It's of great significance. Across Huaiyuan Palace, besides me, only some elders know it!"
"Could the three female disciples have a chance to touch such a rare poison like Soul Leave in Huaiyuan Palace?"
"As disciples of Huaiyuan Palace, sometimes, they could indeed touch or even buy some highly toxic poison through clan channels. However, even Huaiyuan Palace doesn't have such a rare poison like Soul Leave, not to mention the three female disciples!" Zhang Taixuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Fine, if so, I will not disturb you anymore …" Mr. Zhao stood up as he waved his hand and teleported the three wooden boxes into his portable space-teleportation device, saying, "I will dispatch someone to Yingzhou Province to figure out the situation there. By then, I hope Huaiyuan Palace could cooperate with me!"
"Sure, sure, Mr. Zhao, we all appreciate you very much for coming to Youzhou Province for the sake of Huaiyuan Palace!"
"Elder Mushen is the pillar of Taixia Country. How could I not come here for such a major event? Additionally, it's ordered by His Majesty the Crown Prince. His Majesty the Crown Prince would be furious about Elder Mushen's death. Of course, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country would spare no efforts to solve this case!"
"Thanks, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhang Taixuan accompanied Lord Zhao to the outside of the Ancestral Shrine Palace. After that, Lord Zhao directly flew off and landed on an airboat in the sky. Zhang Taixuan watched that airboat disappearing in the skyline with a respectful look. Not until then did he retract his eyes as his respectful look turned into tranquility stealthily …
It was out of Zhang Taixuan's imagination that His Majesty the Crown Prince directly ordered Mr. Zhao, one of the top 9 chancellors of Taixia Country to investigate this case in Youzhou Province. Therefore, Zhang Taixuan faintly felt jealous about Zhang Tie's position in the heart of His Majesty the Crown Prince.
Mr. Zhao really lived up to people's expectations by leading the elites of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country to Youzhou Province. In only 2 days, he could find important clues from the muddy ashes of Wild Lake Building where even a pinch of bone ashes could not be collected. He confirmed that two of Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi were dead and one was alive in Wild Lake Building. Additionally, he knew that Zhang Tie was poisoned by Soul Leave. Even Zhang Taixuan was shocked by such a means. Therefore, he had to deal with it meticulously.
However, that was all. The documents that Huaiyuan Palace handed to Mr. Zhao were all authentic. However, now that Zhang Taixuan had prepared for this for over 10 years, of course, he would not leave any loophole in those documents.
Two disciples of Huaiyuan Palace had been killed; the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace was missing. Even though they couldn't find Ma Aiyun, they were not sure that Ma Aiyun was still alive. Because this might be a trick of the mastermind. Huaiyuan Palace fully cooperated with them. In this way, nobody would doubt that it was Zhang Taixuan who directed this case.
"I'm going to take a short rest. Don't let anyone disturb me during this period …" Zhang Taixuan told those deacons before returning to a backroom in the Ancestral Shrine Palace. After closing the door, he waved his hand, causing a pile of items to appear on the table in the backroom.
Among those items, there were various remote-sensing communication finger rings, two rune equipment, a full-moon dragon soul waistband, two space-teleportation equipment, some silver secret weapons, some precious medicaments and some small items.
If Zhang Tie saw them, he would know that these items belonged to him …
These items were very precious; especially the two space-teleportation equipment and those silver secret items in the space-teleportation equipment, which were priceless. Watching these items, Zhang Taixuan moved his colorful finger ring closer to them. He even rubbed them many times. Finally, he shook his head helplessly as he let out a sigh …
It was not Zhang Taixuan's first time to check them. These days, Zhang Taixuan had checked them many times at different hours and in different environments. However, he was disappointed each time.
