C116

Jia Lieyu walked into the capital with an uneasy feeling.

This morning, a messenger from the capital came to Wan Dao Academy to seek Jia Lieyu's help, "Mr. Jia Lieyu, the lord wishes to invite you over. There are some things that I need your help with."

When Luo Hui saw Jia Lieyu walking in, his gloomy expression immediately eased up, but it was still extremely heavy, "Sir, please come with me."

Luo Hui led Jia Lieyu into a basement, where there were a lot of spider webs, which looked like they had not been cleaned in a long time. Luo Hui walked very quickly, with his eyes slightly squinting, revealing a hint of sadness. Luo Hui said as he walked, "This is the old autopsy room, to be honest, it has been awhile since it was used, this way …"

What appeared in front of Jia Lieyu next, was a corpse.

"This was brought back from the depths of unforested forest by an elite force last night. They said that they saw him corroding spirit beasts with his blood, but strangely …"

Luo Hui pointed to the wound on the corpse's thigh and continued, "According to what the few of them said, he was killed just by a single stab, and there was no poison on that blade at all. But when we examined the body we found that he had been dead more than half a day, judging by the stiffness with which the body was delivered. "

Jia Lieyu tilted his head, "Are you saying that they were chasing a dead person last night?"

"It's very possible. That's why I'm asking you to come here and see if you have any leads."

Although Luo Hui had a lot of hanger-ons, none of them were as good as what Jia Lieyu had seen.

"Have you seen the color of the blood?"

Jia Lieyu asked.

Luo Hui understood immediately, he picked up a blade and cut a small wound on the corpse's abdomen.

"Erosion of spirit beasts with blood, I have actually seen this before in some ancient book. It's a kind of phasic aversion, called the Blood Struggle, where one can use the energy of the veins to control the blood to corrode the blood of other creatures, in order to strengthen oneself. Those who use this kind of taboo should have dark red blood, but his is not."

"So that's the case, that means that fellow is still in unforested forest!"

Jia Lieyu asked again, "Isn't the unforested forest sealed? Why would outsiders enter?"

Luo Hui sighed: It's true, but almost half of the Pindu City's businesses depend on the unforested forest and blood prison forest for a living, after sealing the unforested forest, the citizens' opposition to it increases, and some hunters still sneak into the forest to hunt at night. Due to the situation, I can only lift the ban and send people to protect the people who enter the unforested forest, but if we do not quickly find out who the person behind the scenes is, things like this will probably continue to happen.

Jia Lieyu nodded his head. Luo Hui's ability to adapt to the situation was not bad, if he continued to seal the unforested forest, the citizens would start resisting, and Luo Hui, the new ruler, would be in danger. This would undoubtedly give the Kong Family an opportunity.

"Sir, do you have any ideas?"

Jia Lieyu used a bit more strength on the tip of his thumb, and said: "Observe the movements of the spirit beasts. The spirit beasts that stayed in the unforested forest all year round was the best proof of the state of the forest. If there were any abnormalities with the spirit beasts, then there must be something there. Therefore, Master only needs to seal the depths of the unforested forest. This way, you can at the same time pacify the citizens and prevent people from getting killed. "

Luo Hui looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and started to admire Jia Lieyu's intelligence even more.

"It seems that this matter needs to be reported at the meeting between the four kingdoms."

Luo Hui said.

The Four Great Imperial Clans were a meeting between the Four Great Imperial Clans of the Southern Wilderness, the Sand Capital of the Northern Desert, the stormy Western Sea, and the Ten Thousand Stones of the Eastern Mountain Realm. Half a month later, the Four Great Imperial Clans would be meeting in the Pindu City to discuss the upcoming showdown.

"Will the tournament be postponed until later?"

Jia Lieyu predicted that Luo Hui had already invested most of his manpower into the unforested forest, so the preparation for the competition would definitely be affected to a certain extent.

"Of course not, otherwise the other three old fellows would be angry again. I really don't know how father worked with them in the past, maybe it's because I'm too young, I just feel like I have no weight in front of them."

Jia Lieyu understood Luo Hui's difficulty. Indeed, becoming a capital master at the age of twenty was something unprecedented in the history of Pindu City. Luo Hui becoming a capital master was something that the other three heads decided at the same time.

There were countless forces in the universal star, but the four strongest were the north, south, east and west four capital. Hundreds of years ago, the four capital wars were unceasing, and after signing a peace treaty, the four capital had developed peacefully and formed a strong bond of ties.

When I mentioned father Luo Zhan, Luo Hui became sad again, "Back then, I also saw father here last time. At that time, I never believed that he would actually die from exhaustion."

"What happened?"

Luo Zhan's death was known to the public, but the specific reason was not mentioned.

Luo Hui felt that there was nothing much to hide from Jia Lieyu, "After the West Sea's Four Capital Meet, my father's fleet might have been attacked by spirit beasts. Not a single person on this ship escaped, and only my father's corpse was found."

"Spirit beast?"

Luo Hui nodded his head and said: "That was a warship forged by the Steel Cold Iron, and was even pulled by Sea King's spirit beast Flood Dragon Snakes. When the boat floated back from the sea later on, all that was left of the ship were only bones, and only the spirit beasts could have done it."

"Sea King must have at least a hundred thousand years of dao power to plant a spirit beast, and it's a poisonous Serpent Flood Dragon. In other words, your father has met a spirit beast even stronger than that, but it shouldn't exist in the southern seas, right?"

In the southern seas, Flood Dragon Snakes were undoubtedly the strongest existence. Flood Dragon Snakes were highly toxic, so normal spirit beasts would not casually provoke them. Even if they managed to kill a Flood Dragon Snake, its meat would immediately be contaminated by the poison and become inedible.

"Mm …" "Who knows? At that time, after searching for nearly two months and searching through the surrounding thousands of miles of sea, we were only able to find my father's corpse. No one knows what happened then either."

"Sorry, I seem to have asked too many questions."

Only now did Jia Lieyu realize that he had committed another mistake. If he felt that there was something he couldn't explain, he would always try to get to the bottom of it.

Luo Hui smiled slightly and said: "It's alright. It's all thanks to Mister. The pressure on unforested forest's side should be slightly alleviated. Ah, right, other than that, there's also something else that I want to talk about with Mister alone. It's about the Wan Dao Academy."

"Wan Dao Academy? "What's wrong?"

Luo Hui waved away the others, and only he and Jia Lieyu were left in the basement. Finally, Luo Hui said softly, "I think Kong Bucheng wants to snatch the position of my Pindu City's Patriarch."
