"What? Father actually sent Yuan Biao to capture Jun Xie? "Lei Chen's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the guard who had just delivered the news.
"Then where is Little Brother Jun now? Were you caught by Yuan Biao? "
"As of now, the Immortals' Loft is heavily surrounded by the Imperial Guard Army and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Your subordinate can only observe from the outside but did not see Young Master Jun being brought out by the Commander of the Imperial Guard Army. When the Commander left the Immortals' Loft, he was alone. From the looks of it, your subordinate is guessing that Young Master Jun is not in the Immortals' Loft and Yuan Biao has not been able to capture him." The guard said.
Lei Chen then heaved a sigh of relief. It had only been a few short hours since last night and he had just found out that Jun Xie held the Ring of Imperial Fire in his hands. His heart was still plotting what was to come next and he had not thought that the Emperor would act so quickly, sending out the Imperial Guard Army at dawn.
"From the looks of it, Imperial Father really intends to take little brother Jun's life." Lei Chen gritted his teeth as he recalled Wen Yu's earlier words. He could not help but feel that his thinking had been too simple.
Wen Yu must have guessed what the Emperor would do and that was why he had been so anxious to get Jun Xie out of this place.
"Your Highness, should we send someone to search for Young Master Jun's whereabouts?" The guard asked.
Lei Chen immediately shook his head. "Little brother Jun is extremely quick-witted, he will definitely have a way to hide from Yuan Biao. Now that Yuan Biao has not been able to find him at the Immortals' Loft, he will definitely point his finger at the Crown Prince's Residence. He knows that my relationship with little brother Jun is not too bad. Now that he has found nothing at the Immortals' Loft, I'm afraid it won't be long before he comes here to search for little brother Jun. If I were to rashly send people to search for little brother Jun, the Imperial Guards might not be able to guarantee that they won't be discovered, and it might even bring unnecessary trouble to little brother Jun."
Lei Chen's heart sank. The current situation had come upon him too suddenly and he had not had the time to make any preparations. The Emperor had mobilized the Imperial Guard Army with such a thunderous speed, he was thinking that Jun Xie was not going to be spared!
As expected, not long after Lei Chen received the news, Yuan Biao brought his men to the Crown Prince's residence.
"Your vassal is here to arrest the fugitive Jun Xie. I beseech Your Highness to make this convenient." Yuan Biao led a large group of Imperial Guards to appear before the Crown Prince's Residence.
Lei Chen had already walked to the door and faced him.
"Commander Yuan's words are rather interesting. If you want to capture Jun Xie, why did you come all the way to my Crown Prince's Residence?" Lei Chen asked with a sneer.
Yuan Biao was not moved in the slightest. "Your Highness and Jun Xie had a very close relationship. Now that Jun Xie has disappeared without a trace, your vassal is merely acting on orders. I hope that Your Highness will not make things difficult for me."
Lei Chen said: "You want to search my Crown Prince's Residence? You? "
Yuan Biao did not waste any time and immediately took out an imperial edict.
"I have the imperial edict personally written by His Majesty, and I have already obtained permission to search for the fugitive in the Crown Prince's residence. Could it be that Your Highness wishes to defy His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Lei Chen gritted her teeth secretly. Yuan Biao must have had the Imperial Edict on him even before he had left the Imperial Palace. It was obvious that the Emperor had already guessed that Jun Xie might escape and had made full preparations for it.
Although Lei Chen was highly displeased with Yuan Biao's actions, but with the Imperial Edict placed before his eyes and Jun Xie having not come to the Crown Prince's Residence, he would naturally not argue with Yuan Biao about it.
"Since it is my Father's decree, then Commander Yuan, this way please." Lei Chen said with a smile that did not reach his eyes as he took a step back, opening up the gates to the Crown Prince's Residence.
Yuan Biao nodded slightly and immediately led the group of Imperial Guards to rush into the Crown Prince's Residence!
