Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

The Xianwu Academy was exceptionally lively today.

The powerful officials of the court and various factions gathered here.

Because of today's Immortal Martial Arts Tournament, the academy is open to the public.

But not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in; only important and influential people can get in.

At this moment, we are in the questioning hall at the very center of the academy.

The stands were packed with people, a vast, sea of ​​faces as far as the eye could see.

They gathered in twos and threes, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries.

"Have you heard? This Immortal Martial Arts Tournament is no ordinary event. It's said that the academy has offered three top-tier treasures as prizes for the tournament."

"I've heard that two extraordinary geniuses have emerged from Yehua Prefecture, prompting the Martial Emperor to personally order their special invitation to the academy. I'll probably get to meet them soon."

"Nowadays, throughout the entire Immortal Martial Empire, who doesn't know the names of Lü Tu and Ye Linxiao?"

"That's right. Ye Linxiao, with his cultivation at the third level of the Spirit King realm, fought against the first level of the Emperor realm alone. He even broke through to the fifth level during the battle and fought to a draw with the Emperor realm expert. Such talent is truly astonishing."

"That Lü Tu is even more powerful, okay? Being a Spirit King at the first step is already terrifying enough, but who knew he was actually at the Emperor Realm? He crushed that Emperor Realm cultivator from the Sky-Supporting Sect in one move. That's truly terrifying."

"This Immortal Martial Arts Tournament is going to be quite a spectacle!"

When people talked about Lü Tu and Ye Linxiao, they felt both envious and jealous.

Especially those talented young people, seven or eight of them were dissatisfied and resentful.

I can only lament the injustice of fate.

However, looking at the entire Daoist arena...

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that they are roughly divided into three camps.

One side is the largest camp, led by the eldest prince, Wu Yuezhen.

One side was a group led by King Ding.

There are also some who are neutral, not taking sides.

Prefect He Longtu of Jingzhou asked with a forced smile.

"Brother Tao seems to be in low spirits today? Is something troubling you?"

Tao Yong, the prefect of Heiyao Prefecture, snorted.

"Don't play dumb with me, what don't you know?"

"My son Tao Ci has been murdered, and the killer has escaped without a trace. How can I be in a good mood?"

He Longtu said in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh dear, is that so?"

"Brother Tao, please accept my condolences!"

"But who exactly is that killer? How dare they make a move in your Black Obsidian Prefecture and escape? They must be someone extraordinary."

They knew how beastly Tao Yuanming was.

Good to die!

This can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge.

The prefect of Qinghuzhou smacked his lips and analyzed.

"This is not something an ordinary person would dare to do. To escape from the encirclement and pursuit of several Emperor Realm experts and so many Spirit King Realm experts is definitely not something an ordinary assassin could accomplish."

"If we're talking about which assassin is the most formidable, then it's definitely Jingye."

He Longtu frowned slightly.

"A night of shock?"

"The Nightfall Organization has always been shrouded in mystery, and ordinary people simply cannot find a way in. Moreover, it is said that the starting price for a Nightfall assassin at the Emperor Realm is fifty million spirit stones, a price that ordinary families and forces simply cannot afford."

"Furthermore, killing Tao Ci's nephew this time is quite dangerous; it will cost at least hundreds of millions of spirit stones."

As he spoke, he looked at Tao Yong and chuckled.

"Brother Tao, have you perhaps offended some powerful figure recently?"

Tao Yong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"A formidable opponent? Who could I possibly mess with?"

"His Highness instructed us to behave ourselves recently, as there might be some big plans. I haven't caused any trouble."

But as he said this, he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Oh, right!"

"A few days ago, the Yunshang Sect and Qingtian Sect of Huazhou fought a great battle. Qingtian Sect invited Black Stone Valley from my Heiyao Prefecture to help them. Could it be that...?"

slap~

He Longtu slapped his thigh.

"That makes sense then."

"Brother Tao, think about it. Your sect from Black Obsidian Prefecture is interfering in the affairs of Night Flower Prefecture. Isn't that a slap in the face to Ming Zhenyue?"

"Who wouldn't be angry in that situation?"

"And how could it be such a coincidence? Black Stone Valley intervened, and then Tao Ci's nephew was killed. You wouldn't believe it if you said that old fox Ming Zhenyue had nothing to do with it."

"Who else would be so extravagant as to spend hundreds of millions of spirit stones to hire assassins to kill your son?"

have to say.

Three cobblers with their wits combined can indeed outwit one Zhuge Liang.

The three people's analysis wasn't entirely correct, but their conclusion was actually pretty close to the truth.

If Ming Zhenyue knew, he would probably cry.

"I used all sorts of coercion and bribery to get Lü Tu to agree to kill Tao Ci, just to leave myself a way out. How come now the arrow is pointed at me?"

"Ming Zhenyue?"

Tao Yong clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and the anger in his eyes was almost bursting out.

"You old fox! His Highness hasn't even had a chance to deal with you yet, and you've already jumped out here yourself!"

Ming Zhenyue has always remained neutral.

No one is standing over there.

Wu Yuezhen has been planning big things in recent years and has been too lazy to pay attention to him.

But unexpectedly, it suddenly popped up now.

He Longtu offered words of comfort.

"Brother Tao, please be patient. There is no conclusive evidence yet."

"Moreover, Ming Zhenyue is also a prefect of a state, and he is highly valued by the Emperor. He is not someone you can just move around as you please."

"This matter still requires Your Highness's decision!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than...

Then a figure appeared out of thin air.

"What could be so serious that the three of you prefects can't handle it? Do you need me, Your Highness, to decide?"

Everyone quickly stood up and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Wu Yuezhen nodded slightly and sat down in the first seat.

"Please sit down."

"Tell me what happened?"

Tao Yong immediately recounted the events surrounding Tao Ci's murder, along with the speculations the three of them had made after discussing the matter.

Wu Yuezhen narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Ming Zhenyue?"

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Your analysis makes sense, but you've overlooked the most important point."

Seeing the three people's confusion, he bluntly retorted.

"That old fox Ming Zhenyue is much smarter than you all. Do you really think he would do something so stupid?"

"He wouldn't attack you just because Black Stone Valley interfered in Ye Hua Prefecture's affairs. Even if he did, it would be against Black Stone Valley. Why would he kill your useless son? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

"Moreover, Ming Zhenyue knows you're on my side. Taking action against you would be tantamount to opposing me, wouldn't it?"

"Do you think that old fox has the guts?"

Now things are even more ridiculous.

The three idiots had already guessed pretty accurately by accident.

Unexpectedly, a clever person came along and cleared Ming Zhenyue of suspicion.

(Ming Zhenyue: "The eldest prince is a beneficial insect")

Tao Yong frowned and asked cautiously.

"In your opinion, Your Highness, who do you think is provoking you?"

Tao Yong is also quite cunning.

They deliberately portrayed Tao Ci's personal death as a provocation against Wu Yuezhen.

Given Wu Yuezhen's proud personality, she would certainly not sit idly by.

This way it's faster to search.

Wu Yuezhen tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the seat, making a crisp "tap tap tap" sound.

Everyone around held their breath, waiting for the result.

After a long silence, Wu Yuezhen's lips curled up slightly.

"Two possibilities!"

"The first possibility is that Ming Zhenyue has already sided with Third Sister, or wants to show his loyalty to Third Sister and has specially hired an assassin to give us a warning."

"This time it was Tao Ci who was killed; next time it might be you, Tao Yong."

"As for why Tao Ci was chosen, it might just be because of Black Stone Valley's involvement, or perhaps your son is indeed too beastly and hateful."

"The second reason!"

"That means your son Tao Ci was simply too beastly, incurring the wrath of both gods and men, or perhaps he offended someone he shouldn't have, causing others to be willing to do anything to kill him."

Wu Yuezhen's words made the others want to laugh but dare not.

Only Tao Yong had a dark expression.

Even the eldest prince publicly criticized Tao Ci as a beast several times, which was a direct slap in his face.

He Longtu asked with curiosity.

"Your Highness, what should we do if Ye Hua Prefecture really submits to the Third Princess?"

Although Yehua Prefecture ranks last among the nine continents, it is still a prefecture.

Their overall strength is also formidable.

If Ye Hua Prefecture were to submit to the Third Princess, it would not be a good thing for them.

Wu Yuezhen hesitated for a moment, then picked up a glass of wine that He Longtu had personally poured and drank it all in one gulp.

"That depends on how smart Lü Tu and Ye Linxiao are."

"If they're both idiots..."

"Then I wouldn't mind losing two geniuses to the Immortal Martial Arts Academy."
