"Activate the Nation Protection Formation and seal off the imperial capital. No one is allowed to enter or leave!" An angry voice resounded throughout the imperial palace. Everyone felt the terrifying pressure at this moment. Although Mu Qian, the Emperor of the Country of Wood, rarely made a move, he was also an expert at the Peak of the Divine Transformation Stage. However, as the Emperor, he did not have much time to cultivate. Although his cultivation had increased, his true strength was still far from Prince Xuan's. However, the unique aura of an Emperor was something that other cultivators could not compare to.
As soon as the order was given, the entire imperial capital of the Country of Wood shook violently. A pale green barrier rose from all directions and enveloped the entire capital in the blink of an eye. Nothing could enter or leave at this moment.
"Bring me the manager of the treasury. I want to interrogate him personally!" Prince Xuan said to the manager of the Sky Garden.
"Yes!"
As if he had expected Prince Xuan's request, the Peak of the Divine Transformation Stage cultivator brought Mu Ming over in just a few dozen breaths.
"Tell me what's going on. Tell me everything you know! " Prince Xuan asked with a cold expression. Although Mu Ming's status and cultivation were not low, he could not absolve himself from the blame for this incident. If he did not handle it well, he might lose his life.
"Prince Xuan, those treasures disappeared directly from the treasury. We don't know what happened either!" Mu Ming said with sweat all over his forehead.
"Disappeared directly?" Prince Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Mu Qian, the Emperor of the Country of Wood. The latter's pupils contracted slightly at this moment.
"Tell me everything that happened!" Prince Xuan said.
Then, Mu Ming roughly explained how the treasures disappeared. However, at this moment, even he could not figure out how those treasures disappeared without a trace.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Prince Xuan asked.
Mu Qian's expression was solemn as he said, "Since he dared to come to our Country of Wood's imperial capital and even stole the treasures of our treasury, I'm afraid this person's cultivation base is no longer at the Divine Transformation Stage!"
"It's about the same as what I thought. It's going to be difficult this time!" Prince Xuan also frowned.
In recent years, the Spiritual Qi on the continent had become denser and denser, and everyone's cultivation speed had significantly accelerated. Especially for the cultivators of the Huashen Realm, the bottleneck that was almost impossible to break through before had loosened a lot. It was said that some people had already broken through to the Void Refining Realm during this period of time. Prince Xuan and the others had already guessed what was happening in the imperial capital. Otherwise, if a cultivator of the Huashen Realm dared to behave atrociously here, wouldn't he be courting death?
"There's something that I don't know if I should say," Mu Ming said hesitantly.
"Speak!" Prince Xuan said.
"It's like this. Earlier today, Imperial Prince Yan came to the Treasure Pavilion, but he didn't buy anything. Instead, this humble subject accompanied him to look through all kinds of ancient records and treasures. This shouldn't have been a problem, but just now, this humble subject discovered that Imperial Prince Yan had looked through everything that was missing from the Treasure Pavilion, so …"
Mu Ming paused for a moment. Although this matter was strange, it couldn't be a coincidence. By saying this, he had pushed all the suspicion onto Imperial Prince Yan, so he wasn't sure what would happen.
"Send someone to Imperial Prince Yan's residence and bring Mu Yan here!" Mu Qian directly ordered.
At this moment, a large number of troops had already taken over the imperial capital and were turning the sky and earth upside down in search of suspicious people. At this moment, a group of troops was heading straight for Imperial Prince Yan's residence.
"These people reacted quite quickly. They're heading for Imperial Prince Yan's residence so quickly!" The mixed haired sparrow said in astonishment as he watched the troops leave.
"It's alright. Actually, I left behind quite obvious traces. As long as that Mu Ming isn't stupid, he'll discover that I've touched everything that was missing. It's only a matter of time before he finds out that Imperial Prince Yan is the culprit!" Yui Kimi said with a smile.
However, he didn't care. In any case, no matter how they investigated, they wouldn't be able to find out that he was the culprit. There were so many people in the imperial capital of the Country of Wood. If they investigated each and every one of them, they probably wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of it. As the imperial capital, if it was sealed off for such a long time, the entire Country of Wood would fall into chaos.
"Are we leaving now?" The mixed haired sparrow said somewhat reluctantly.
"What's the hurry? Let's watch the show first!" Yui Kimi said with a smile.
"Little Mu Zi, you're so smart. I like it!" The mixed haired sparrow said excitedly. He didn't want to leave now either. He wanted to see how the Country of Wood would deal with what was coming next.
In the imperial palace.
When Imperial Prince Yan was brought to Mu Qian, he was still unconscious. He was only wearing underwear and nothing else.
Needless to say, when everyone saw this, they already understood what was going on.
"Wake him up!" Mu Qian rubbed his forehead with a headache. In fact, it didn't matter whether he woke Imperial Prince Yan up or not because Mu Yan clearly didn't know anything. The person who went to the Sky Garden's treasury was definitely someone else.
Sure enough, when Imperial Prince Yan woke up and realized what had happened, he immediately cried and complained. Indeed, his situation was clearly like a person sitting at home, but trouble fell from the sky.
"Alright, alright. You can leave now!" Mu Qian waved his hand and impatiently had Imperial Prince Yan leave.
"This time, we can be sure. It should be some Void Refinement cultivator who did it for the items in our treasury!" Imperial Prince Xuan said respectfully to Mu Qian.
"What do you think we should do now?" Mu Qian threw the question to Imperial Prince Xuan.
"There are only two ways to resolve this matter. The first is to remove the Country Protecting Formation and let that person go!"
"That person didn't kill Imperial Prince Yan. Although he created a large-scale chaos, the power of the explosion wasn't great. He also avoided places where people gathered. Clearly, he didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties. This means that he doesn't want to completely fall out with our Country of Wood. Among the items we lost in our treasury, only the remnant formation scroll is the most important. The other items can be replaced. So, we should take a step back and block the news. Letting that person go is the safest!"
"The second method is to fight to the death and find a way to find him. However, the other party used spatial techniques. He must be a Void Refinement cultivator. Moreover, the battlefield is our Country of Wood's imperial capital. If a battle breaks out, the losses …" Imperial Prince Xuan shook his head with a grave expression.
"Are we just going to swallow this humiliation?" Mu Qian said angrily.
"It's just a delaying tactic. We can continue to investigate. Moreover, my cultivation is showing signs of a breakthrough. Once I reach the Void Refinement stage, it's not impossible to take back the remnant formation scroll!" Imperial Prince Xuan said softly. He could see that as the emperor, Mu Qian had already made up his mind. However, he just didn't want to do it, so he needed someone to convince him.
"Let me think about it!" Mu Qian finally said.
