174 The Qibao Glazed Sect takes the blame
"What happened? Why did Ice King Douluo and the others leave early before the battle over there was over?"
"I don't know, but since the Royal Knights are here to look for them, I think it's because something big happened in Tiandou City, otherwise Ice Emperor Douluo and the others wouldn't be in such a hurry."
While watching the battle, everyone was talking.
Also curious are the remaining four titled Douluo watching the battle, including Qian Xunji, Jin Zhong, Yin Zhui, and Chen Xin.
They also all speculated that something must have happened in Tiandou City.
Chen Xin looked at Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, who were still fighting, and then looked in the direction of Tiandou City. Although he wanted to continue watching, out of concern for Ning Fengzhi's safety, he chose to follow them.
The distance of three hundred miles was nothing to Lin Hanye's ice dragon, but since he was taking care of those Tiandou soldiers, he still slowed down a lot, and he also deliberately waited for Sword Douluo.
After a while, Sword Douluo followed and asked hurriedly: "President Lin, what happened?"
Lin Hanye didn't hide anything, looking very distressed and said, "Two and a half hours ago, His Majesty was assassinated in the palace."
"How is this possible?" Sword Douluo was very surprised, because his friend Gu Rong was also in the palace.
How could someone assassinate Emperor Xue Ye in front of Gu Rong?
Logically speaking, even the Light Ling Douluo who is the best at assassination in Wuhun Palace would not be able to do it.
Gu Rong might not be Guang Ling's opponent, but he could still hold him back for a while and give Xue Ye a chance to escape.
"Your Majesty Sword Douluo, this is true. I was nearby at the time and saw it with my own eyes." Knight Captain Merson said.
"Then do you know who the assassin is? And is our sect leader safe and sound?" Sword Douluo asked.
Hearing this, Merson was silent for a while and said: "Sect Master Ning is fine, as for the assassin." He couldn't say the next words.
Sword Douluo and Huang Yueyao also saw that the other party had something to hide. Lin Hanye said, "Let's talk slowly on the way. Without further ado, let's go over and have a look. Hurry up."
After saying that, Lin Hanye increased his speed, followed closely by Sword Douluo.
Half an hour later, the group landed at Tiandou Palace.
"President Lin, and His Majesty Dugu Mian, you have to make the decision for our Tiandou royal family. Because Ning Fengzhi was dissatisfied with my royal brother's reliance on the Soul Master Guild, he instigated Gu Rong to assassinate him, and refused to admit his guilt afterwards."
As soon as he landed, Xuexing rushed towards him as if he had seen a savior. His nose and tears fell all over the floor, and he almost knelt down.
"What did you say?" Seeing that Xuexing still wanted to frame herself and Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong was instantly angry, but after seeing Lin Hanye on the side, her tone softened a lot.
Ning Fengzhi already had a gloomy look on his face, but he dared not speak out in anger, because the moment Lin Hanye came back, it no longer mattered whether Xue Ye was harmed by them.
From now on, their fate is in Lin Hanye's hands.
"Prince Snowstar's condolences. Captain Merson has already told us the specific story. Let us check his majesty's body first."
Lin Hanye said, looking at Dugu Bo, "Elder Dugu, go check whether His Majesty is poisoned first."
"Leave it to me." After a moment, Dugu Bo shook his head and said nonsense seriously: "I dare not say that I am the best in the world in poisoning, but no matter how clever the poisoning method is, you will never be able to hide it from me. Just now. I checked His Majesty's body and there was no sign of poisoning. It was more like he died from a mental attack. It was enough to kill a person silently without leaving any wounds afterwards. This level of mental power is difficult for even the president to achieve."
"It seems that he died due to pure mental attack skills." Lin Hanye pretended to step forward to check, then turned to look at Gu Rong, with a selfless look, and asked: "Gu Douluo, can you describe the specific situation at that time? "This is what happened."
Gu Rong didn't dare to hide it and immediately told what happened.
"In other words, did you find the assassin in the palace after His Majesty was attacked?"
Lin Hanye continued to ask.
"Yes."
Gu Rong was stunned. Although he didn't know what the other party was talking about, he still answered honestly.
"Sword Douluo, His Majesty's palace is closed all around. There is only one door and one exit, and all the windows are closed. Let me ask you, if you were faced with the situation just now, if you killed someone, how could you escape in such a short time? After Gu Rong's search, did you leave quietly?"
Lin Hanye looked at Gu Rong.
Although Sword Douluo didn't believe that Gu Rong would do such a stupid thing, he still didn't say anything against his will, "I can't do it, not just me, even you, President Lin, and the Grand Priest of Wuhun Palace and Haotian Dou Luo, the three most powerful titled Douluo in the world can't do it either."
Then, he added: "But as far as I know, Old Bones, he does not have a head soul bone, let alone the ability to launch spiritual attacks."
"Who knows if this guy secretly absorbed a piece of head soul bone without telling you, and then assassinated His Majesty. After all, this guy has a criminal record."
Snowstar retorted.
"Why, is it possible that you want me to open my head and show you whether I have a head soul bone?"
Gu Rong had never experienced such humiliation before and said angrily.
"Bone Douluo, we are just discussing the matter, don't be impulsive." Lin Hanye stood in front of Xue Xing.
"President Lin is right. If you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."
Xue Xing became more and more arrogant now that he had a backer. He didn't know whether Xue Ye was caused by the Qibao Glazed Sect, but even if it wasn't caused by them, he would regard it as their cause.
Otherwise, after this incident, as the biggest beneficiary, the suspect will become him.
By that time, not only would he want to secure the throne, but he would also be criticized by thousands of people.
"You..." Gu Rong was so angry that his eyes were red and he was panting like an ox. He subconsciously wanted to have an attack, but was stopped by Ning Fengzhi. He stepped forward and asked, "President Lin, I don't know how you can make me and my uncle Gu Clear away the suspicion?"
Lin Hanye said: "Sect Master Ning, don't say that I am unkind, but this matter is related to your Majesty's life and death. Considering our past friendship, what do you think of this? Before the suspicion is cleared, you and Gu Du Luo, just stay in the palace for now and don't go anywhere. I will find the real culprit in the future and I will clear your name."
"What, you want to imprison us?"
Hearing this, Gu Rong became angry again. Protecting Ning Fengzhi in front of him, nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, rose from his feet. He was about to take action. Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't persuade him.
At the critical moment, Sword Douluo grabbed his arm and burst out nine spirit rings of the same color to restrain him, "Don't be impulsive, old bone."
