The moment he saw this figure, Prince Jin's expression changed slightly.
"He actually came personally!!!"
That's right, the person who appeared in the night sky and suppressed the light emitted from Prince Jin was the chairman of the Dark Parliament, the leader of the Assassin Alliance. His codename was Dark Mantle!
This person rarely appeared in the public eye, but there were many legends about him. Moreover, only the top figures of the major forces were known. Ordinary practitioners didn't even have the qualifications to come in contact with news about him.
According to the legends, there were several assassinations in history that were related to the Dark Mantle, but it wasn't proven. But no matter what, as the leader of the Assassin Alliance and the chairman of the Dark Parliament, the Dark Mantle was the most terrifying assassin in the cultivation world.
Even with Prince Jin's cultivation, if he was captured by the Dark Mantle, his chances of survival would only be thirty percent. This showed how powerful the Dark Mantle was.
"Chairman, I'm the former ruler of the Heavenly Court, Yong Ye. Previously, I was plotted against by my disciple, Crown Prince Skeleton, causing me to reincarnate. Today, I've returned to take back the Heavenly Court that belonged to me. I hope the chairman won't blame me." Liu Yong said respectfully.
Liu Yong had long expected the Dark Parliament to interfere in this matter, but he didn't expect the chairman of the Dark Mantle to come personally.
However, Liu Yong had nothing to be afraid of. After all, the battle was over, and the Heavenly Court had returned to his hands on the surface. What's done cannot be undone. Even the Dark Mantle couldn't say anything about it.
When Liu Yong was plotted against, Crown Prince Skeleton seized power and took control of the Heavenly Court. To the Assassin Alliance, it didn't matter who controlled this assassin organization. What was important was that this assassin organization was still under their control. That was enough.
Sure enough, the Dark Mantle only took a deep look at Liu Yong and didn't say anything.
After a moment, the Dark Mantle looked at Prince Jin in the distance.
"Your Highness Prince Jin's appearance here is somewhat unexpected. However, as you can see, this is an internal matter of the Assassin Alliance. You don't have to worry about it." The Dark Mantle said in a hoarse voice.
The Dark Mantle didn't have a good or bad impression of the royal family. As an assassin, he only looked at the mission. Therefore, the members of the royal family could be his guests, but they could also be his targets. It was best to maintain a neutral relationship with them.
"Dark Mantle, you should know why I'm here," Prince Jin said with a gloomy face.
News of Prince Duanzhong's death had already spread throughout the cultivation world. He didn't believe that the Dark Mantle didn't know about it.
"Prince Jin, you must be here for Prince Duanzhong's death, right? But did you find Prince Duanzhong's aura here?" asked Darkmantle.
"It's possible that it was erased by someone." Prince Jin said.
Although he himself didn't quite believe this reason, he could only use it to brush off the Dark Mantle.
"Hehehe …"
A bone-chilling laughter came from the Dark Mantle, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.
"Prince Jin, I advise you not to stretch your hands too far. Otherwise, don't blame my Assassin's Alliance for not giving your royal family any face." Dark Mantle's laughter faded as he spoke in a cold tone.
"Dark Mantle! This is the death of a prince. If I find out that this matter is related to your Assassin's Alliance, I definitely won't let it go. "Prince Jin said with an unsightly expression.
If it was before, Dark Mantle absolutely wouldn't dare to speak to him like this. Unfortunately, it was different now. Ever since Blue Dragon and even Akatsuki caused trouble, the royal family's prestige received an enormous challenge. So much so that many people already didn't put the royal family in their eyes.
This time, they took advantage of Blue Dragon and others being sealed in the World of Immortals. They used thunderous means to extinguish the forces related to Akatsuki in order to establish their prestige once again.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as they wished. Although they intimidated many second and third rank cultivation forces, first rank cultivation forces still didn't change their view of them too much. Now that Prince Duanzhong had inexplicably died, it was undoubtedly one disaster after another for the royal family.
"Humph! Prince Jin, I heard that your royal family wants to bring forward the millennium celebration. If you have the time to compete with our Assassin's Alliance here, why don't you think about how to organize your celebration. I'll take my leave first. "Dark Mantle sneered. After leaving behind a sentence, his figure directly turned into a black room and dissipated.
"Respectfully sending off Lord Speaker." Liu Yong respectfully bowed.
In the sky, Prince Jin's complexion turned pale and green. His body was slightly trembling.
After a long time, he could only fiercely glare at Liu Yong. Then, he tore open space and left.
"Respectfully sending off Your Highness Prince Jin." Liu Yong smoothly sent off another big shot.
Dark Mantle's attitude was already very clear. They wouldn't allow the royal family to interfere with the Assassin's Alliance. Moreover, just now, he really didn't find any evidence that Prince Duanzhong was killed here. If he insisted on making a move against Heavenly Court, then he really would thoroughly offend Dark Mantle.
Therefore, even if Dark Mantle left in the end, Prince Jin didn't dare to do anything for fear of breaking the vases. He could only leave in anger. Unless he could find conclusive evidence, he was afraid that this matter would come to an end.
Following the departure of the two big shots, Azure Mountain Range once again regained its tranquility.
The darkness slightly wriggled. A figure appeared beside Liu Yong.
"Lord Speaker, what's the celebration about?" Ying Huo asked.
Recently, they were all busy planning to deal with Heavenly Court. They didn't pay attention to the royal family's movements.
"The Nakagawa Empire has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Every thousand years, there will be a grand celebration. Originally, the millennium celebration this time was six years later. However, recently, I heard that the royal family seems to be preparing to bring forward the celebration this time. It's estimated that it will be held in the next few months." Scarlet said.
"Bringing forward the millennium celebration? Why is that? "Ying Huo asked doubtfully.
This kind of celebration was similar to a birthday celebration. If it was held ten days or half a month earlier, it would be understandable. However, to hold it a few years earlier, it didn't seem right.
"Hmph! I'm afraid that the royal family is keeping all the forces away. "Liu Yong thought for a moment and figured out the trick.
"Oh? What do you mean? "Ying Huo asked.
"The millennium celebration is definitely a matter of the entire cultivation world. When the time comes, which sect comes to participate in the celebration, how many gifts they give, and what their attitude is, it's obvious at a glance. In other words, this time's celebration is no longer a traditional celebration. It's a gathering that concerns the future of the cultivation world." Liu Yong slightly narrowed his eyes and said.
"You can imagine that when the time comes, all the experts and major forces in the continent will gather in the imperial capital. What kind of undercurrent will it be?"
