What a big pot!

An island in the lake.

"Princess, there is no survivor on the island. Even the two grandmasters, Red Cherry and Green Willow, have been beheaded."

The two elders of Xuanming exchanged a glance, their expressions subtle, and walked up to a handsome young man in blue robes, who was gently waving a folding fan. They bowed and reported to him.

The young man in blue patted his folding fan and asked, "Judging from your expressions, is there some other story behind this?"

"To be honest, Princess, Hongying and Lvliu possess Xuanming True Essence within their bodies, and the freezing power on this island is also Xuanming True Essence. Moreover, compared to ours, this Xuanming True Essence is purer and more refined!"

After he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop on the island.

The young man in blue asked, "As far as I know, the Xuanming Divine Palm is a unique skill of the two of you, and there are no other successors."

Yes or no?"

The two elders of Xuanming looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"The princess is right. Apart from the two of us, our master has no other successors. There should be no one else in the world who can practice the Xuanming Divine Palm."

Zhao Min's eyes darted around, and she made a decisive decision: "Let's go!"

Everyone on this island died at the hands of the Xuanming Divine Palm. If she stayed here with the Xuanming Elders, even if she were covered in mouths, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

Not sure.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt by someone lurking in the shadows to frame someone!

The three of them ran for a while and then left the island.

Zhao Min stopped in her tracks and asked, "Did Daoist Bai Sun really perish back then?"

Lu Zhangke's gaze sharpened: "Does the princess suspect that the one who made the move was Master? Impossible. My brothers and I buried Master's body back then. I can confirm that Master has already passed away!"

Hebi Weng nodded: "I can guarantee that as well."

"When we get back, find a feng shui master to find a better burial site for Master Bai Sun," Zhao Min said thoughtfully, looking at the two of them. "Do you have any objections?"

The two elders of Xuanming naturally knew Zhao Min's thoughts, and nodded gently upon hearing this: "Thank you, Princess."

Zhao Min tapped her folding fan against her hand, making a soft clapping sound, and asked, "In the martial world, there are many martial arts techniques that can simulate the internal energy of others. Have any of you fought against such people?"

They both shook their heads in unison: "No."

"That's strange!" Zhao Min frowned. "Who exactly is behind this?!"

Suddenly, Lu Zhangke reported: "Princess, besides the Xuanming True Essence, there is also a wisp of sharp sword energy lingering on the island, which has not been detected for a long time."

"Disperse. There must have been another swordsman who made the move."

Zhao Min asked in surprise, "Two people made a move?"

Hebi Weng: "No, I suspect it's one person who is proficient in both the Xuanming Divine Palm and swordsmanship. Because I didn't sense any other true essence aura matching the sword intent on the island."

"Is your master a master swordsman?"

The two shook their heads: "We don't know. When our master was alive, he could dominate the world with just the Xuanming Divine Palm, and he didn't reveal any other martial arts."

"Sword God Ximen Chuixue is in Jiangnan. Do you think it's possible that he was the one who made the move?"

Lu Zhangke shook his head: "If Ximen Chuixue makes a move, the people on the island will most likely only suffer sword wounds, not a single palm wound. Moreover, Ximen Chuixue is extremely arrogant; apart from experts, ordinary people are not qualified to die by his sword."

Hebi Weng added, "Hongying and Lvliu are veteran masters, quite strong, and their combined attack technique is unparalleled. Although Ximen Chuixue is strong, it would probably take many moves to defeat them, but there are few traces of battle on the island. The person who attacked may not be stronger than Ximen Chuixue, but they must be very effective against Hongying and Lvliu. Most importantly, Ximen Chuixue has not established a large force, making it difficult for him to move the island's food."

Zhao Min nodded: "That makes sense. Today's events were most likely caused by the major sects of Jiangnan or the imperial court. Only they have the ability to move so many things in such a short time."

Lu Zhangke's pupils contracted: "Your Highness means that the imperial court has noticed?"

Zhao Min shook her folding fan: "I don't know. However, we should not show ourselves tomorrow, but thoroughly investigate the movements of all parties. Such a large amount of money and supplies could not have disappeared without a trace; they will definitely leave a trace."

"Yes."

Shortly after Zhao Min left, a group of people appeared on the island.

The person in the lead was none other than the young master dressed as a boy.

Behind her followed a group of people, led by a pair of men, one with a gentle smile and the other with a sinister expression.

Behind the man were several men in black, of varying heights and builds. The only thing they had in common was that they were all skilled in martial arts. They landed as lightly as falling leaves, without making a sound.

"What happened?" The young master looked at the frost-covered island and the empty surface of Taihu Lake, where only broken ice floated. "Where are our things? Where are the cherry blossoms and willows?"

The man standing behind her glanced across the island, then suddenly pointed forward and said, "Red Cherry and Green Willow are dead!"

As everyone looked over, they saw that the once world-renowned master assassin had been decapitated, and his entire body was frozen into a block of ice.

The young master's gaze turned cold: "Who did this?! Investigate!"

A man in black picked up a piece of ice and suddenly felt a chilling force invade his body. In the blink of an eye, his entire arm went numb. He quickly circulated his internal energy to expel the chill that had invaded his body.

He said in a trembling voice, "Young master, if I'm not mistaken, this is Xuanming True Essence!"

Mysterious Netherworld True Essence?!

The group exchanged glances, not daring to say anything.

The young master looked at the two men behind him and asked, "Investigate!"

The two rushed to the corpses of Hongying and Lvliu, reached out and touched them. The next moment, they indeed felt an extremely cold and aggressive true essence invading their bodies.

Although only a wisp remained, it was extremely difficult to deal with, and in the blink of an eye, it made their fingers numb.

The two quickly circulated their true energy, and a few minutes later, white mist swirled and rose above their heads, which was the process of expelling the true energy that had invaded their bodies through the circulation of energy.

The two exchanged a glance, then landed on the embankment and picked up a piece of floating ice from the lake.

This time, they were much more careful.

After examining it, she turned and landed nimbly in front of the young master, reporting, "It's all Xuanming True Essence; there are no other True Essence residues."

"Is Zhao Min trying to eat it all by herself?"

The young master smiled slightly. "I didn't realize our princess had such great ambitions!"

The man with a sinister expression reported: "Young master, it may not be Zhao Min's doing. She didn't bring many people with her this time, so she couldn't have moved the things here in such a short time. Although the Xuanming Elders are veteran grandmasters, they don't have the strength to kill Elder Li and Elder Yang."

The young master snorted and asked with dissatisfaction, "Lingjiu, do you think I'm wrong?"

Lingjiu was taken aback and said, "Young Master is right, it was my analysis that was wrong."

"Very good!" The young master nodded. "As long as you know who's in charge this time, that's enough. Find out Zhao Min's whereabouts and the destination of this shipment. I need answers within three days."

Lingjiu, Xueying, and the man in black bowed in unison and replied, "Yes."

With a wave of his hand, the young master dispersed, and everyone went off to investigate the matter.

Zhao Min, you're definitely taking the blame this time. "Young Master, a slight smile played on your lips. The person who knows the Xuanming Divine Palm is your subordinate. How are you going to explain that? Most importantly, I lost the goods. If I can't find them, Master will make me wish I were dead. But if I offer you up, that's a different story. Master has long coveted the Princess's beauty. This is my chance to atone for my sins!"

As for whether this move will provoke dissatisfaction from extraterrestrial beings?

The young master looked gloomy, but his eyes were full of expectation.
