Mighty ones had been going in and out of Emperor Xia's Palace for the past few days, especially the princess' residence.
The Princess' residence, which was usually very quiet, seemed very lively these days, with people coming and going.
The people of the Barren State of the Lower Worlds could come and go as they pleased. Everyone in the royal palace knew that Princess Xia Qingyuan treated the people of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State very well. All of this was because of Ye Futian.
Otherwise, how could an attack on two cultivators from the Lower Worlds cause such a huge commotion?
He had even asked Emperor Xia to make a move. This was a great honor.
Most of the people from the Holy Zhi Palace were waiting for news at the Princess Residence. On this day, a few figures flashed and appeared in front of everyone.
"Huang, Ling 'er." The group of people saw two of them walk forward in an instant, and the Black Wind Condor also rushed forward. They were completely relieved that nothing had happened.
"Are you alright?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
"It's fine now. The two of them managed to escape with their lives," a cloaked figure said from behind. His voice was slightly hoarse, and his skin was extremely pale.
"Thank you, Senior." The people of the Holy Zhi Palace expressed their gratitude. The Black Wind Condor looked at a cultivator behind Long Ling 'er and called, "Senior Long."
The man looked at the Black Wind Condor and asked, "You are?"
"I am Ye Futian. This demonic beast can directly convey my will," said the Black Wind Condor.
The middle-aged man suddenly understood. He smiled and said, "We met last time."
"Yes, it has been many years. Thank you for your help," the Black Wind Condor said. This figure was Long Ling 'er's uncle, Long Yitian.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"This happened during the Battle of Proving Holiness all those years ago. Back then, when I was trying to prove holiness, I was surrounded by many people and my physical body was destroyed. My soul hid within the dragon's soul and fused with it. After that, I hid in a piece of Saint-level spiritual jade that I obtained by chance, and only then was I able to survive. This time, I am indebted to Emperor Xia for helping me reconstruct my physical body," Long Yitian said.
"Brother, if it wasn't for Big Uncle, Ling 'er would have died." Long Ling' er's eyes were slightly red. It could be considered as a blessing in disguise.
If it were not for the fact that Ling 'er's life was in danger, Xia Qingyuan would not have disturbed Emperor Xia.
"It's fine now," the Black Wind Condor said softly.
"But Mu Yan is dead. Brother, Mu Yan isn't that kind of person. I felt that he was being controlled by someone," Long Ling 'er said.
"I have the same feeling. This is too strange." Phoenix had the same thought as Long Ling'er. She had a special physique, and her Life Spirit was that of a phoenix. She possessed the Nirvana Technique, which allowed her to preserve a wisp of her vitality and survive. Ling'er, on the other hand, was protected by Long Yitian. Even so, Long Yitian almost disappeared completely.
This time, it could be said that they had escaped with their lives.
Mu Yan was obviously not so lucky, and he died on the spot from the poison. It could be seen how overbearing it was.
"Yeah." The Black Wind Condor nodded. He didn't believe it was a coincidence either.
"Over the past few days, I've investigated all of Xiao Sheng's actions since the last time. There's nothing suspicious. Now, the Xiao clan has already locked him up and cut off all contact with the outside world. I'll also order people to keep an eye on him." Xia Qingyuan said, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone was helping Xiao Sheng. As such, after that incident, I'll investigate all the people that Xiao Sheng could have used. This way, there will be a lot of people involved, and it will take time."
There seemed to be no clues to be found in this matter. Mu Yan might have been the only one who had come in contact with the person who poisoned him, but he was dead. There was no way to investigate the people he had come in contact with before.
This lead was cut off right away, and they could only investigate Xiao Sheng, who was the most suspicious.
But so far, there were no clues found on Xiao Sheng.
"If he really did do this, with the princess keeping an eye on him, he naturally won't be able to do anything. But as the princess said, there might be someone helping him. While the possibility of the Xiao clan being involved is not high, it's better for the princess to keep an eye on them," the Black Wind Condor said.
"Alright. I'll keep an eye on Saint Xihua as well. While we can't be sure that these two things are connected, we'll still look into it and see if they have come in contact with anyone suspicious." Xia Qingyuan said, "I'll keep an eye on the safety of the people of the Holy Zhi Palace for you."
"Thank you." The Black Wind Condor said, "Princess, please send my thanks to His Majesty."
"Are you really not going to go back? Maybe it's because of you?" Xia Qingyuan said.
"I'll be there, not Ye Futian. And there should be people in Dali Imperial City, right?" Ye Futian asked.
"Yes, I'll tell you how to contact them." Xia Qingyuan said, "If anything happens, come back immediately."
…
Ye Futian opened his eyes in the cultivation court of Dali Academy. The sword will that surrounded him gradually dissipated, and his eyes were cold.
Queen Xiao had personally intervened in the matter all those years ago, and there was nothing he could do. He could not go against Queen Xiao, could he?
But this time, if they found out that it was Xiao Sheng who did it, there was probably no one who would protect him.
It was no wonder that he had always suspected Xiao Sheng. In Emperor Xia's Realm, Xiao Sheng was the only one who had such a grudge with him.
"Seventh Swordsman." A voice was heard. Ye Futian looked up and saw a group of people coming. It was Li Yao.
During this time, he had met Li Yao a few times, and they were quite familiar with each other.
In name, Li Yao was a nominal student of the Imperial Advisor, so he could be called his brother.
"What brings you here, Your Highness?" Ye Futian was still sitting there, and he did not get up. He seemed very casual, but it was precisely this casual that made it more normal.
"It's almost the end of the year. At the end of every year, Dali Academy holds a sparring session, and the Royal Family of Dali Imperial City holds a grand Royal Hunt. I would like to invite you to participate. Are you interested?" Li Yao said.
"Royal Hunt?" Ye Futian asked, puzzled. He looked puzzled.
"Yes, a hunt. There are tens of thousands of beasts in the West Mountain of Dali Dynasty, and it is the hunting ground of the Royal Family of Dali Dynasty. It is a rare trial," Li Yao said.
"There are sacred beasts?" Ye Futian asked.
"Of course." Li Yao nodded. Ye Futian could not help but sigh. This was the foundation of the Royal Family of Dali Imperial City. They kept tens of thousands of beasts for hunting trials, and there were even sacred beasts.
"If it is a Royal Hunt, would it break the rules?" Ye Futian asked.
"No, the people of the Royal Family are qualified to bring people to the hunt." Li Yao smiled and said, "At that time, there will be many attendants. Seventh Swordsman, you are now invincible under the Saint Plane. In Dali Dynasty, no one under the Saint Plane is a match for you. It will not benefit your swordsmanship. The Saint Plane cultivators of Dali Imperial City will not really make a move against you. The hunt is a good opportunity for you to get a feel for the power of the Demon Saint. Do you dare?"
Ye Futian's expression was sharp, and he said, "How can I not go when Your Highness invites me? I will go with Your Highness during the hunt."
"Very well. You are indeed the number one under the Saint Plane in Dali Dynasty." Li Yao smiled and nodded. "I will let you know when the time comes."
"Very well." Ye Futian nodded, and Li Yao left with his people.
Ye Futian watched him leave. He had nothing to say about Li Yao's treatment of him.
They were both of the same lineage, and he was peerless under the Saint Plane. Therefore, Li Yao wanted to rope him in, hoping that he could be of help in the future.
Unfortunately, the enmity between them meant that one of them had to die.
"His Highness invited you to participate in the Royal Hunt?" A voice was heard at that moment, and a few people came. Ye Futian looked up and saw Nan Zhai, Mu Chunyang, and Lu Chuan all there.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded and said, "What brings you all here, brothers?"
"To the Imperial Advisor's Residence. There is a family banquet there today," Lu Chuan said.
Ye Futian was puzzled, wondering if there was a family banquet at the Imperial Advisor's Residence.
"Very well," Ye Futian stood up and said.
"Brother, have you found any female disciples to talk about life?" Nan Zhai squinted and asked with a smile.
Ye Futian was speechless and said, "Second brother, you should go by yourself."
Nan Zhai stared at his face and said, "If your brother were as young and handsome as you, hehe …"
Ye Futian's face darkened. If it were not for their conversation last time, he would have thought that Nan Zhai was a lecherous old man who was ignorant and incompetent.
"Brother, Seventh Swordsman is a swordsman, and his heart of the sword is pure. Please do not lead him astray." Mu Chunyang, who was standing at the side, could not bear to watch.
"It is precisely because he is too obsessed with you that he needs to relax. You do not understand," Nan Zhai said with disdain.
"You are the brother, you have the final say." Mu Chunyang did not argue with Nan Zhai. Lu Chuan, who was standing at the side, smiled at Ye Futian and said, "Second brother is just like that. You can learn from your brother if you want to pursue the path. As for the rest, you decide for yourself."
Ye Futian nodded. The Imperial Advisor did not have many disciples, only a few, but the atmosphere was very good. It truly made him feel the atmosphere of the Cottage all those years ago.
One could see the teacher from the disciple. From this, it seemed that the Imperial Advisor of Dali was indeed someone worthy of respect.
However, it seemed that their positions had been predetermined from the very beginning.
Of course, perhaps what he saw was not comprehensive enough.
Yan Yuan and Wang Zhong were already waiting for them. The two met up and went to the Imperial Advisor's Residence together.
At that moment, a family banquet was already prepared in the quiet courtyard of the Imperial Advisor's Residence.
When Ye Futian arrived, there was a woman there other than the Imperial Advisor.
Ye Futian was a bit surprised and looked at her. He saw that the woman was very beautiful and comfortable to look at. She was pure and natural, as if she was the favorite of the heavens.
She also looked at Ye Futian and said softly, "Father, this is the Seventh Swordsman, right?"
"Yes." The Imperial Advisor smiled and nodded. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "Seventh Swordsman, this is Feixue."
Ye Futian was a bit surprised. The Imperial Advisor actually had a daughter. He did not see her last time.
A bright smile bloomed on Feixue's lips, but there was no spirit in her eyes. There was no smile in them, which shocked Ye Futian.
"Senior Sister," Ye Futian called.
"Senior Sister? I am not father's disciple. You can just call me by my name. "Feixue smiled gently." As for my inability to see, don't worry. "
"Inability to see?" Ye Futian's heart trembled. He did not know why, but when he heard Feixue say that she could not see, he felt a bit sad.
Although Feixue's appearance could not be described as unparalleled, he felt the most comfortable when he first saw her. It was a very strange feeling that could not be described.
"Even with the Master's cultivation, there is nothing you can do?" Ye Futian looked at the Imperial Advisor and asked.
The Imperial Advisor shook his head!
PS: I saw someone commenting and reporting after the exam. Don't read books if you want to focus on the exam … Also, I saw many friends looking down on the protagonist's IQ, as if he knew everything. God's perspective, of course you would know since Traceless wrote it. Since you are so powerful, let me ask you, who is helping Xiao Sheng? Don't brag if you can't guess!
