After Wu Kun had fled, he hurried home to dress the sword wound on his shoulder, then changed his clothes and immediately rushed over.
With the assassination of Yu Mao being such a significant event, the entire Wu Miao was in uproar, and he, as an Elder, could not sit back and ignore it.
Otherwise, suspicion would surely mount; he had to clear himself of any suspicion.
However, when he arrived, no one paid him any heed, for the whole Wu Miao knew of his boundless ambition, not even holding the King of Miao in high regard, let alone caring for Yu Mao's life or death.
Everyone also understood that his purpose in coming was to demonstrate that Yu Mao's death had nothing to do with him.
Yet, in his eagerness to shake off suspicion, Wu Kun approached the King of Miao and asked, "What happened, who killed Elder Yu?"
"If we knew that, would we still be standing here? But no matter who did it, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and avenge Elder Yu."
