Bai Ruyue subconsciously pressed her hand on her chest.

She still had the Ice Soul Pendant hanging around her neck. At that time when Yun Yufei had given it to her, he had clearly said that he would lend it to her, so she would return it to him when she returned.

But now that she had gone into further cultivation and wasn't here at all, it was equivalent to giving this to her in disguise!

"Where did he go?" Bai Ruyue asked in concern. She felt that it was necessary for him to find Yun Yufei and return this to him, because this thing was really a treasure!

But City Lord Yun shook his head. "I don't know either, he didn't tell me."

Bai Ruyue's mouth twisted, and her hand came down from her chest: "Then City Lord Yun, may I ask what exactly happened at Pill Sect that day? Also, where is Mu Furong now? "

City Lord Yun glanced at Bai Ruyue and began to explain slowly.

So it turned out that the people who were gathered that day were their own people with no outsiders, everyone was extremely curious about Mu Furong's strange behavior!

Second Elder told everyone that Mu Furong was not the real Mu Furong, and that she was fake. Furthermore, there were other people directing them, so they only focused on questioning, and did not pay attention to the issue of safety.

At first, Mu Furong refused to admit it, she insisted that she was Mu Furong, and said that she did not understand what was being said at all. She only said that she had made a mistake, and yet, she was misunderstood and suspected by everyone.

At that time, City Lord Yun had actually already gotten some fake information about Mu Furong from his Royal Highness, and so he asked Mu Furong three questions in public: her birth mother's name, where her family was located, and what was her greatest achievement in her life.

As a real Mu Furong, these three questions were basically not a problem at all. But Mu Furong was the fake one, so these three questions really baffled Mu Furong!

Everyone already knew if she was real or fake, but compared to her, what everyone was more concerned about was her goal. Where were the finger envoy and the real Mu Furong?

When the fake Mu Furong saw that the situation was not good, she naturally started to explain. But she only said the vague words "Your Majesty" and "above", which naturally made people suspicious.

Then, Second Elder suggested that he could use soul power to enter the fake Mu Furong's brain to search for memories or to obtain answers. Thus, after a short moment of consideration, the City Lord Yun allowed him.

Soul power invasion was a simple matter. As long as a person's soul power was strong enough, they could forcibly look through the other party's memories. However, one reason was that their soul power was strong enough to crush the other party's will.

It was true that Mu Furong was a fake, but her body's innate talent was still there!

If the Second Elder wanted to do this, they would need the help of an external force. Thus, the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Third Elder had gathered their soul power together, completing the soul power invasion.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. The fake Mu Furong's level of resistance was so low that it surpassed everyone's imagination. That Second Elder very easily entered Mu Furong's soul force to search for memories.

But after a few minutes of hard work, Second Elder's face revealed a sad look that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly recited the obscure incantation for Imperial Extreme Sect, and then, he self-detonated!

"What?" Bai Ruyue slowly stood up. "You said Second Elder self-destructed?"

Bai Ruyue could not believe what she had heard.

"We don't know either, but later on we guessed, maybe the answer that he saw in Mu Furong's mind was something that he couldn't and didn't dare say!" City Lord Yun said as he helplessly reached out to rub his arm.

Bai Ruyue's mouth was agape and she did not know how to answer.

She could tell from Zheng Xinyu's words that the Your Majesty behind the scenes was Master Ning.

She did not know how much power Prime Minister Ning had, but she believed that he would definitely not be a match for the Demon Suppressing King!

On the other hand, Second Elder Feng Qi was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not have the reason to choose to self-destruct just to cover up the evil deeds of Ning Xiang. Self-destruct was not only a sacrifice to himself, but it would also harm others!

But now, she knew that she couldn't say it – because she really couldn't be sure of this situation!

"The casualties at that time?"

When Han Yu asked, City Lord Yun then replied:

The number of casualties was not small. Second Elder self-destructed to death, his body exploded into pieces, unable to be saved!

The Third Elder and Mu Furong next to him were also heavily injured, especially the Third Elder.

Fortunately, there was still the Soul Recovery Pill in the Pill Sect, so they gave it to the Third Elder to eat. Therefore, the Third Elder was still alive right now, but had fallen into a coma, and no one in Mu Furong care about her life or death.

As for the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, they were the same as the City Lord Yun, receiving some superficial wounds. However, after the self-destruct, their emotions had been greatly affected.

Although Bai Ruyue's character was not good, and even refused to be loyal to Pill Sect, she was removed from the list, yet her entire Cloud Sea Division did not receive support from resources from the upper echelons, which was equivalent to her dying in name. The two elders might not be able to accept it psychologically, so they could not even accept it if they wanted to.

Hearing this answer, Bai Ruyue could not help but sigh, but at this moment, she had already understood what the two clan elders were actually at a loss about this. Before the Second Elder self-destructed, he was shouting the incantation for Imperial Extreme Sect, thus, doesn't this mean that the elder brother closest to his was actually a traitor?

Who could accept that?

Bai Ruyue thought in another place and felt that she couldn't accept it either!

She had already experienced the most painful injuries from someone she trusted the most. For this, she had even given up her life to reincarnate, all for the sake of getting even with the other party!

Could the two elders still hold the Second Elder's corpse and question him with their voices?

However, Bai Ruyue did not believe that the Second Elder was a person from the Imperial Extreme Sect, it was just that she did not have a better answer to the strange self-destruction that the Second Elder had.

"Senior Brother Han, you said that no one can use a method to control others to self-destruct?" Bai Ruyue turned to ask Han Yu, the meaning behind his words was the truth of the matter.

Han Yu blinked her eyes. "Frigid Jade is an inexperienced cultivator and doesn't know of such a method. However, the world is vast, and there are many wonders involved. I'm afraid that there might be someone who dares to try something like this!"

Bai Ruyue turned her head to look at the City Lord Yun when she heard this. "City Lord Yun, right now, there is a rumor spreading outside that the massacre caused by Imperial Extreme Sect caused Second Elder's death.

"Of course not!" The mayor raised an eyebrow, "You mean, this is a trap?"

Bai Ruyue had an answer in her heart, she could only say euphemistically: "I don't know if it's a trap, but obviously there are people who want to fight to the death with their Cloud Sea Division!"
