Xue Ye looked at the fallen body. His face was already a bloody mess. His eyes were extremely gloomy.
They actually used this method to keep the secret?
Many people had already gathered around. They also realized that the person who was attacked was actually Ye Futian.
Someone wanted to assassinate a Cottage disciple. This caused many people to feel chills.
They all understood that this matter was huge.
Back then, someone from the Qin Palace had pressured Ye Futian and Yu Sheng and injured Yu Sheng. Because of this, a Noble from the Donghua Clan was disabled.
Today's matter was obviously much more serious. This was an assassination. From start to finish, it was aimed at Ye Futian's life. Whether it succeeded or not, the matter had already been determined.
If it was ordered by other top forces, it would definitely be a bloodbath.
Many people couldn't help but think of what had happened in the day. Ye Futian had fought against Qian Shanmu and lost. Then, he'd sent Qin Mang from the Qin Dynasty flying with one strike. It was really embarrassing for the Dongqin College.
So, was this assassination done by the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan?
The two forces were obviously very suspicious. However, with the current situation, the Cottage would probably suspect the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan first if someone wanted to kill Ye Futian. Under such circumstances, would the two forces take such a risk?
Were they preparing for war?
Or, did other forces want to stir up trouble in the dark and start a war between the Cottage and the two forces?
How would the Cottage and the College handle this?
Many figures flashed over. Yi Xiaoshi and many people from the College had also arrived. Seeing this scene, their expressions were all cold.
"Are you okay?" Yi Xiaoshi asked Ye Futian.
"Nothing serious." Ye Futian shook his head. He could still stand up. It was indeed dangerous just now. Luckily, they came out as a group. Otherwise, if he was alone and was suddenly attacked by an Upper Arcana Plane cultivator, he might really die here.
Who was it that wanted to kill him?
The atmosphere here was extremely tense. Mountain Elder Zhu Qing and Zong Xu of the College had also arrived. Walking to Xue Ye, Zhu Qing asked, "What happened?"
"Little brother was assassinated," Xue Ye said, his voice gloomy.
With that, Xue Ye walked to Ye Futian's side. At the moment, Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen were both here, emanating extremely cold murderous intent.
"Any clues?" Xue Ye asked.
Ye Futian shook his head. "He's a sorcerer who specializes in earth-elemental abilities and also cultivates martial arts. He's in the Upper Arcana Plane. Not long after I left the inn, I felt a murderous intent in the dark. He's waiting outside."
"Who do you think is the most suspicious?" Xue Ye asked.
Ye Futian thought about it, then shook his head. Who would know who did it?
The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had their reasons. The Yin Family also had their reasons to kill him.
It was even possible that someone was trying to provoke a dispute.
Even if it was the Royal Xuan Temple, there was a sliver of a possibility. Luo Junlin and Ye Futian were mortal enemies, but with Luo Junlin's level of cultivation, he probably wouldn't be able to mobilize such a powerful sacrificial warrior unless a Noble gave the order. However, the Nobles of the Royal Xuan Temple didn't have a reason to do so. However, Luo Junlin's girlfriend had an extraordinary identity, so this possibility couldn't be completely denied.
It was difficult to guess who had given the assassination order.
"Let's return to the inn first." Zhu Qing said. Xue Ye nodded and left with the corpse, returning to the inn.
An invisible pressure spread across the entire Zhaoge City.
Soon, all the major forces received the news.
Ye Futian had been assassinated.
The moment they received the news, everyone had a feeling that the Eastern Barren Territory had been peaceful for many years, but now, there seemed to be a storm brewing.
The Cottage disciple had been assassinated. Although they didn't know who did it, it was definitely someone from a top force behind the scenes. Ordinary forces wouldn't be so daring.
Moreover, there was no reason to do so. Ye Futian didn't seem to have offended anyone outside of the top forces. At most, it was the Yin Family, which was affiliated with the Qin Dynasty.
In the Witch Clan, Gu Zhiqiu and Gu Biyue were confused after receiving the news. Were the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan really so crazy?
The people of the Fuyun Sword Clan were watching the show. They hoped that it was really the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan. That would be the real show.
In the Moon Clan, many goddesses were secretly shocked. Ye Futian had actually been assassinated. If Hua Jieyu knew, she would definitely be very worried.
On the other hand, Chu Yaoyao was confused. Was it really the Qin Dynasty?
When the news reached the Royal Xuan Temple, the people of the Royal Xuan Temple were also watching the show. Of course, they didn't give the order.
At the moment, many disciples of the Royal Xuan Temple gathered together and discussed the matter. Xirou controlled her emotions and returned to her residence alone. Her face was pale.
Did it fail?
The assassination actually failed.
Moreover, it caused such a huge commotion in such a short time. It wasn't hard to imagine that Chaoge City wouldn't be peaceful in the future.
Would they find out about her?
She believed that it wouldn't. Although Hu Tong was loyal to her, he had always been hidden in the dark. No one would care about such a person. There were Arcana Plane cultivators everywhere in Chaoge City. Her orders were also very secretive.
Most importantly, Hu Tong was already dead.
Dead people would naturally keep secrets.
Moreover, Hu Tong wasn't even from Chaoge City. No one would know him.
The only flaw was the Royal Xuan Temple. Senior Xia Luo might have guessed something. But even if he did, Senior Xia Luo wouldn't betray the Royal Xuan Temple. Senior Xia Luo should understand the seriousness of the matter.
Thinking of this, Xirou's eyes gradually became determined. The dead couldn't prove anything. Everything would be fine as usual.
This secret, along with Hu Tong's death, would be buried in the ground forever.
Let the Cottage fight with the Qin Dynasty.
This night, Chaoge City couldn't sleep. In the inn where the College was staying, many disciples of the College set off to find clues.
The people from the top forces realized that they were all being watched.
This was very impolite, but no one said anything.
The assassination of a Cottage disciple must have been done by a top force. Although the other forces were unhappy that they were being watched, they couldn't say anything.
No one would clash with the College for such a reason at this time.
The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan were very quiet, so quiet that it was oppressive.
They naturally understood that the Cottage would most likely suspect them for the assassination of Ye Futian.
Under such circumstances, a little carelessness would lead to a huge war.
They spent the night in the oppressive atmosphere in Chaoge City. On the second day, the entire city was discussing Ye Futian's assassination.
Countless strong cultivators gathered around the battle platform of the Dongqin College. Today's contest would be held as usual. The Dongqin College had been recruiting disciples for three months. Even if some top forces were absent, the contest would still be held as usual.
However, the atmosphere today was clearly different. The previous two days had been full of enthusiasm, but today, the Dongqin College seemed to be filled with invisible pressure.
The strong cultivators of the top forces arrived one after another. Qin Yu walked onto the battle platform and seemed to be ready to announce the start of today's contest.
But just then, a group of strong cultivators flew over from afar. Instantly, countless gazes looked in that direction.
They were from the College.
The leaders were the two mountain elders, Zong Xu and Zhu Qing. Their faces were cold as they flew towards the battle platform.
Qin Yu also looked into the sky. Then, he saw Zong Xu and Zhu Qing standing on the battle platform. Zhu Qing asked Qin Yu, "Isn't the Qin Dynasty going to give an explanation?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. Looking at Zhu Qing, he said, "The Qin Dynasty is also very surprised by what happened last night. If you need anything, we will try our best to cooperate."
"That's it?" Zhu Qing's expression was cold.
"What does Mountain Elder Zhu Qing mean?" Qin Yu frowned.
"This is Chaoge City, the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The College is here for the appointment," Zhu Qing said coldly.
"Does the College think that the Qin Dynasty would be so stupid as to do such a thing in our territory?" Qin Yu asked.
"Nothing is impossible." Zhu Qing turned around and said to the crowd, "I think everyone knows what happened last night. Next, the College hopes that the people from the top forces who came to Chaoge City will stay and cooperate with the College until we find out who the mastermind is."
"Not a single person can be missing." Zhu Qing's expression was extremely serious. The vast space was silent.
The College was so domineering. Were all the top cultivators in Chaoge City not allowed to leave?
"That's too much," someone suddenly said. It was from the Fuyun Sword Clan.
Why should they stay and cooperate?
"When we find out the mastermind, the College will come and thank you and apologize. I hope everyone can understand," Zhu Qing continued. Many people sighed inwardly. Since Zhu Qing said this, it was indeed understandable. After finding out the mastermind, they would come and apologize.
They wouldn't stop until they found out the mastermind.
"The Sword Saint Mountain is willing to fully cooperate with the College." A cultivator from the Sword Saint Mountain expressed his stance. Many people cursed inwardly. The Sword Saint Mountain was on the same side as the Cottage. Of course, they would cooperate.
"The Liu Kingdom is also willing to cooperate. I don't want this to happen to anyone," a cultivator from the Liu Kingdom said. If there were more assassinations, the Eastern Barren Territory would be in chaos. In the future, everyone would do the same thing. Wouldn't all the talented youths of the various forces be assassinated? "That's right," a strong cultivator from the Liu Kingdom said.
Of course, this matter had to be dealt with seriously.
They could imagine that the College would be extremely determined. This storm wouldn't end anytime soon.
"Thank you for your understanding," Zhu Qing said. Then, she turned and looked at Qin Yu. "If we can't find the mastermind, the College will admit that the Qin Dynasty did it. Goodbye."
With that, she flew into the air.
"You …" Qin Yu stared at Zhu Qing's back in the air. His expression was extremely ugly.
If they couldn't find the mastermind, would it be the Qin Dynasty who did it?
Many people were shocked. Something happened in Chaoge City. If they couldn't find the mastermind, the Qin Dynasty would be responsible. This was the College's attitude.
In the crowd, Luo Junlin from the Royal Xuan Temple clenched his fists. There was a faint fear in his heart.
