Chapter 288: The Hidden Danger in the Human World

“Third, you can’t say that carelessly. Are you sure?” The elder among the four sages asked with a solemn expression, the air almost solidifying.

“Don’t you know my abilities? My disciple’s aura is indeed within this villain’s body. I’m afraid his dragon breath has already been refined by him!”

Mu Chenge, the king of the Kingdom of Rising Sun, only felt his head go blank. What was going on with these four sages? Were they deliberately framing him to find fault? But he had never offended them and had only heard of Fan Longyu but never met him.

And the crown prince Mu Changsheng standing behind him naturally knew everything clearly, including the so-called “aura” within his body. He only sighed at the strength of his teacher, who was actually able to help him conceal his aura. Standing in front of these four sages, none of them discovered that Fan Longyu died at his hands and that dragon scale was even refined by him. But at this moment, his scheming was revealed as he continued his act.

“Few seniors, this is absolutely impossible. My royal father has been in seclusion in the forbidden area these past few days. How could he possibly take action to harm Fan Longyu? I can testify!” Mu Changsheng stepped forward, blocking in front of his royal father.

“Get lost, it’s none of your business.” The most short-tempered Fourth, with a slap, directly sent Mu Changsheng flying.

“Changsheng!~” Mu Chenge glanced at his son, but unfortunately, he was also like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river, unable to protect himself. His neck was gripped by a powerful hand.

“Speak, why did you kill my disciple!” That sage interrogated, seeming to have already determined that Mu Chenge was the culprit. After all... he indeed had Fan Longyu’s aura on him and had the strength to do it.

“I... didn’t...” Mu Chenge naturally wouldn’t admit it. After all, he didn’t do anything.

“You still dare to quibble! It seems I’ll have to use the Soul Search Technique on you.” The sage said.

“No... You can’t!” Mu Chenge’s eyes widened. Soul searching would not only cause irreversible damage to his soul, making his future cultivation path extremely difficult, but he was also the emperor of the Kingdom of Rising Sun and held many national secrets. If his soul was really searched, he would also lose all face and leave a foul reputation for ten thousand years.

“Big Brother, it’s obvious. He is the culprit. How could I hold back!”

“Sigh...” The four sages avenged their disciple, but only felt emptiness.

“You four... killed my royal father. How can I let you just leave like this!” Mu Changsheng chased after them. Although he knew he definitely wasn’t a match for the four of them, he still made a move.

However, his strength was like an infant in front of the four of them and was easily blocked.

“Vile creature, do you really think I don’t dare kill you?” That Fourth was about to take action but was stopped by the elder among the four sages. “Grievances have sources and debts have debtors. The prime culprit is already dead. We can’t implicate others. The king of the Kingdom of Rising Sun is dead. If you kill the crown prince too, I’m afraid the Kingdom of Rising Sun will really fall into chaos. It’ll be hard for us to explain to the Thunder Lord.”

Then, he continued to say to Mu Changsheng, “Your royal father chose the path of death for the sake of dragon energy. If you want revenge, we’ll be waiting. This time, I helped you stop Fourth. Next time, I won’t tolerate you offending us like this again.”

The sages were detached from the world. Killing a ruler was just killing, but they didn’t implicate others. It was also to give the Thunder Lord an explanation. They had already restrained themselves a lot. He believed that if he hadn’t stopped him, Fourth would have already started massacring the city.

The four of them quickly disappeared into the horizon. It was just that the elder vaguely felt that something seemed a bit off somewhere, but looking at the weeping Mu Changsheng, he didn’t have any more thoughts for the time being. Mu Changsheng’s aura was very clean and shouldn’t have had any intersection with Fan Longyu.

After the four left, the entire Kingdom of Rising Sun was in mourning, but a nation couldn’t be without a ruler for a day. On this very day, Mu Changsheng ascended the throne of the Kingdom of Rising Sun, sitting on the position he had dreamed of. He didn’t crave power, but as a ruler of a nation, that kind of dragon energy blessing was something he urgently needed. Controlling a nation was just the first step he took. He believed that he would one day be able to control the entire world.

In the Heavenly Book World, Zhanyue once again engaged from the front, launching attacks on that incomparably hard beetle horn. And this time, Yunyao circled to the back. She hugged that Shield of Forgiveness, unaffected by the demon beast. With Zhanyue in the front and her in the back, they began their pincer attack. Many days of cooperation had brought about a qualitative change in the two’s combat tacit understanding.
