Chapter 97: The Heaven Devouring Demon Technique of the Mysterious Mask (4)
The old granny said, “Is it possible that they are the people sent by the Emperor to investigate the murderer?”
As soon as she said that, Qin Jiao suddenly felt that it made sense!
There was no way to refute it!
Although the old granny was in a remnant soul state, she did not have much combat strength.
However… The knowledge and experience in her mind was the greatest treasure after living for so long.
Moreover, Qin Jiao had not found an opportunity to go to the cave abode of the old granny and plunder it…
Cough cough!
Putting aside the strange thoughts in her mind, Qin Jiao frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “The problem is that there’s no way to leave the Imperial City now. The city protection army of the Great Wei Dynasty is not to be trifled with.”
“The few Golden Core stage Immortal cultivators on the city wall won’t let me out casually.”
The old granny said, “Then find a place to hide. Don’t stay in the same place all the time.”
[You took the advice of the old granny and found a remote inn in the Imperial City. You stayed in this inn and prepared to hide for a few days.]
[Age 28, you heard a rumor: several princes and princesses of the Great Wei Dynasty were killed by demonic beasts during the spring hunt in the hunting ground!]
[The familiar plot makes you feel refreshed ]
“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!” Qin Jiao repeated the same words.
After she received the news, she paced back and forth in the guest room of the inn.
She muttered to herself in a low voice, “The prince and the princess went to a hunting ground. How could there be a demonic beast that was stronger than them? Moreover, how could such a noble person not have guards by his side?”
“But they were still killed by the demonic beast in the hunting ground. That can only mean that the demonic beast was very strong, and someone deliberately let that demonic beast in!”
“Then why would someone do that? What is their purpose?”
“Is the death of Princess Changning a year ago related to this matter?”
“Elder Qin, what do you think?!”
‘Elder Qin’ was the name Qin Jiao used to address the old granny because the surname of the old granny was Qin.
“I still have the same suggestion from a year ago. Think of a way to leave the Imperial City. The water here is getting muddier. I don’t quite understand. Clearly, the Imperial City had been unsealed half a year ago. Little Doll, why didn’t you leave? Why did you continue to stay here?”
The old granny replied and asked a question that had puzzled her for half a year.
Why did she not leave?
It must be because she wanted to know what was going to happen in the Great Wei Dynasty in the next few years!
She had to figure these things out first. would it be stable the next time he simulated Immortal cultivation?
She thought so in her heart.
But Qin Jiao said this, “There is something I need to find in the Imperial City.”
This answer was so perfunctory that even the old granny could hear it.
She had already heard Qin Jiao’s perfunctory answer more than a dozen times.
She did not even change her excuse!
She sighed, “Little Doll, this is already a struggle involving the imperial power. You are not qualified to participate in it now. If you are a Nascent Soul Immortal cultivator, they might give you some face.”
“But you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now. If you get involved in this kind of thing, it might just be a small aftershock that can crush you into pieces.”
“A struggle for imperial power?” Qin Jiao widened her beautiful eyes and said in surprise, “Someone wants to pull down the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty and sit on the throne himself?”
“Hiss…”
With that said, it made sense that the princes and princesses of the Great Wei Dynasty were killed one after another.
She thought that the descendants of the Imperial Family of the Great Wei Dynasty were too unlucky.
They would die wherever they went.
It turned out… There was actually a mastermind behind the scenes who wanted to seize the imperial power of the Great Wei Dynasty?
Qin Jiao touched her smooth and fair little chin.
She muttered, “Why didn’t they just attack that Emperor? Was it because that Emperor was too powerful? “That’s right… the Emperor of the Immortal cultivation world is like the Sect Master of a sect. If he wasn’t powerful, how could he intimidate the tens of thousands of people in the country?
“So the mastermind behind the scenes can only think of a way to attack the people around the Emperor. Those princes and princesses are a good target.”
“That’s because they are very important to the Emperor, but their own strength isn’t very strong.”
“I see!”
But soon, she frowned again.
If this matter was related to the turmoil and strife in the next few years of the Great Wei Dynasty, then…
Would that mean that the mastermind behind the scenes had succeeded?
[Age 29, you suddenly heard a piece of shocking news — the Great Wei Emperor, Chen Fengyin, died due to Qi deviation!]
