After confirming their partnership with Lei Chen, the rest of the Spirit Battle Tournament would be Jun Xie's time to shine.
However, just as Jun Xie was about to enter the fourth round of the tournament, another incident occurred. The youth who was supposed to fight Jun Xie was once again absent from the competition, and this time, the incident seemed to have become even more serious!
The youth had not only been absent from the competition, but he had lost his life in a corner of the Imperial Capital the night before the tournament. This was the first time a murder had occurred since the start of this year's Spirit Battle Tournament and the incident had immediately attracted the attention of all the contestants!
The previous forfeitures had all been related to Jun Xie and the reason for the other youths' absence from the competition had been widely discussed. Moreover, it was related to the Yan Country's Crown Prince, Lei Chen. Everyone knew that Lei Chen had tampered with the case, using threats and promises to make the youths forfeit the competition. But this time, the incident had become even more serious.
A human life had been involved!
The group of people who had just been there to watch the show immediately erupted in rage! The youths who had advanced to the fifth round were boiling with excitement. Who knew who Jun Xie would be fighting next? Now that Lei Chen, in order to let Jun Xie win, had killed someone, wasn't that telling everyone that if they continued to participate in the tournament, only death awaited them?
When their obscure actions were stained with blood, fear made the youths who had advanced to the next round uneasy. The incident had spread like wildfire. Before this, they had only despised the Zephyr Academy for trying to curry favor with Lei Chen, but now, the Zephyr Academy had become a place of scorn.
Such infamy was no longer a simple matter. If they were to bear the responsibility of a human life, even if the Zephyr Academy managed to prove themselves in the end, their reputation would never be redeemed!
Immediately, Jun Xie summoned Lei Chen to her and asked him about the situation.
Lei Chen was really innocent this time. After confirming his partnership with Jun Xie, he understood that he could no longer play any dirty tricks behind the scenes and had given up on his previous plans. And this time ….. he had not sought out the youth Jun Xie was going to fight at all, and he did not even know who Jun Xie was going to fight against!
"You didn't do it?" Jun Xie asked, looking at Lei Chen.
Lei Chen almost pointed to the heavens and swore. He wanted to cry but had no tears. "I really didn't do it. No matter how stupid I am, I wouldn't do something like this at a time like this. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?"
Jun Wu Xie fell deep in thought. If Lei Chen had not been the one to do it, then this matter could only have been done by the Fire Country's Emperor who had been hiding in the shadows to push Lei Chen off the throne.
"He's really ruthless." Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. In order to force Lei Chen to step down from his position as the Crown Prince, the Yan Country's Emperor had actually made a move against the contestants who had come to take part in the tournament. If news of this got out, the Yan Country would not be able to hold any Spirit Battle Tournament in the future.
"What should we do now? All the academies participating in the tournament have already raised their objections and the matter has been brought to my Father's attention. If he really intends to use this matter to force me to submit, then ….. "Lei Chen's head was burning with anxiety, but he could not think of any good ideas.
Jun Wu Xie's expression on the other hand was calm and his composure made Lei Chen unable to remain calm.
"You're not in a hurry? This matter ….. has implicated you as well. "Lei Chen said as he looked at Jun Wu Xie discreetly.
Jun Wu Xie replied unhurriedly: "You do not need to bother yourself with this matter. I will handle it. If the Emperor wants to find trouble with you because of that person's death, you just need to stall for time. "
