It wasn't that Elder Ying had never thought of bringing down the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, but he had never had the chance to do so.
Hearing Jun Wu Xie mention that the Palace Lord had been poisoned, he had been highly surprised.
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Based on what Elder Ying had said, this matter was not his doing. But if even a highly revered Elder like him could not do it, who else would have the chance to do it?
Elder Yue?
Jun Wu Xie quickly denied her own guess. Elder Yue had served several generations of the Shadow Moon Palace Lords and although he was a maniacal man, but his loyalty to the Shadow Moon Palace was unquestionable.
It was not Elder Ying, nor was it Elder Yue, and it was someone who held a deep grudge against the Shadow Moon Palace. Moreover, it was someone who needed the opportunity to get close to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord. With such a screening, the number of suspects became even fewer.
"Since you can tell that the Palace Lord has been poisoned, then have you been able to tell what kind of poison he has been poisoned with? Perhaps we can start from that. If that person wants the Palace Lord dead, he might be able to cooperate with us. " Elder Ying only wanted to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace at that moment, to avenge his son and grandson. Anyone who was an enemy of the Shadow Moon Palace, could become his ally.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. "Although I am able to tell that he has been poisoned, but just by looking at his complexion, I am unable to deduce what kind of poison he has been poisoned with. All of this will require further investigation before we can know." "That, I think I can help you with." Elder Ying said. "I have mentioned you to the Palace Lord before and it is obvious that he is highly concerned about a young Purple Spirit. Hence, after you come out this time, I can bring you over to have a look. But as for how to do it, to check on the poison, you will need to think of a way on your own."
"Alright." To be able to get close to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, she would naturally have a way to check on the situation.
Elder Ying and Jun Wu Xie discussed it for a while more. The flames of vengeance made Elder Ying no longer wallow in sorrow. It was getting late and Elder Ying asked Jun Wu Xie to return to her room to rest first, without the need to go to the dungeon.
And that night, the people Elder Yue had arranged to go assassinate Jun Wu Xie in the dungeon came up empty, not seeing any sign of Jun Wu Xie at all.
Early the next morning, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's condition finally took a turn for the better. The faces of the various Elders who had been tormented the entire night were highly haggard and they had not been able to close their eyes for the entire night, but could only stand guard within the Palace Lord's sleeping chambers.
When Elder Yue received the news in the palace hall, he came to know that the assassination plan last night had failed once again, and that Jun Xie was no longer in the dungeon. His face immediately turned red with rage and he turned to walk into the sleeping chambers, to kneel before the Palace Lord's bed.
"Your Highness! Last night, Chang Huan escaped from the dungeon on his own. Such an act is really against the rules. His arrogance has reached such an extent where he is not even willing to accept such a small punishment, completely not showing any gratitude towards my Lord's benevolence. "Elder Yue said as he knelt on the ground, denouncing Jun Xie's arrogance.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord had been tormented by his illness for an entire night and his head was already throbbing in pain, his mind a little groggy. When he suddenly heard about this matter, his face immediately turned a shade of shit.
"Is that Chang Huan really so rude?" "Yes! Your subordinate does not dare to deceive my Lord. Chang Huan had injured a disciple of the palace and had committed a crime. Fortunately, my Lord was benevolent and punished him to reflect upon himself in the dungeon but he showed no remorse and had instead escaped on his own. "Elder Yue said, sounding highly pained.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's face darkened completely, his eyes filled with great displeasure.
Elder Yue laughed secretly in his heart.
