Yun Che moved quickly through the dark passage, and slowed down when he was near the exit, and quickly used Flowing Lightning to conceal his aura.

A noisy sound could be heard from afar, but there was nothing unusual in the medicine garden area outside the exit. After confirming that it was safe, Yun Che slowed down his pace, walked out of the secret passage while maintaining the state of Flowing Lightning Hidden, and moved carefully under the cover of night. After confirming that he was out of the perception range of the medicine garden's guardian beast, he immediately increased his speed and headed straight for the Bingyi Palace.

The originally silent Ice Wind Palace was now filled with deafening shouts. Figures flew towards the treasure house like flocks of large birds. The treasure house area that was originally dark was now filled with mysterious light… The treasure house was invaded. This was a major event that had not happened in Ice Wind for tens of thousands of years. It was enough to alarm the entire city, and more than half of the palace's powerful men swarmed in.

Yun Che tried his best to avoid the figures, getting closer and closer to the center of the palace, his brows furrowed tightly. Although taking away the Qilin horn and triggering the profound formation below was beyond his expectations, it did not make him panic... What made him uneasy was undoubtedly the disappeared body of Mu Hanyi.

The light of Bingyi Palace could be seen in his sight, but Yun Che's footsteps suddenly slowed down at this moment, and then he stopped directly, turned around, and looked towards the direction of the northern treasure house.

Soon, a team rushed up from behind him, and the leaders were Feng Huituo and Feng Hange. They were followed by more than 20 people. Although they were few in number and without armor, everyone had a strong aura and their eyes were fierce enough to make people's hearts palpitate.

As soon as they saw Yun Che, Feng Huituo and Feng Hange quickly went to meet him. Feng Huituo hurriedly said from a distance: “My dear nephew Yun!”

Yun Che turned around and said, “Master Bingfeng, there is such a big commotion, could it be that there is an invasion by foreign enemies?”

Feng Huituo approached, bowed slightly and said: "That is where my royal family's treasure house is located. It is heavily guarded. I never thought that there would be an evil thief who would invade and disturb my nephew Yun's sleep. I am really ashamed and terrified. When I go there in person to capture him, I will tear him into pieces!"

"Father!" Feng Hange said anxiously, "Since the villain can trigger 'that mysterious formation', it means he has sneaked into the treasure house. To be able to sneak in under the layers of defense, the villain's strength must be extraordinary. Father, it is better not to take risks."

"Now one hundred thousand guards have surrounded the treasury area, and that evil thief cannot escape even with wings. With the help of all the top masters, I will definitely bring that evil thief to my father." Feng Hange vowed.

Feng Huituo thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, be careful."

"Mr. Yan, please protect the safety of Father and Brother Yun."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Behind Feng Huituo, an old man with a sage-like appearance nodded slowly.

After Feng Hange finished speaking, he led a group of experts straight to the treasure house.

"Nephew Yun, I'm afraid this place is not safe. Please follow me back to the Bingfeng Palace first." Feng Huituo said.

Under the escort of Elder Yan, Yun Che followed Feng Huituo to the Bingfeng Palace. The front of the palace was already full of people, most of whom were guests who were staying in the palace to celebrate the birthday. They were all startled and then escorted here by the guards.

Around the main hall, the palace masters were guarding it in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible to get in or out.

Seeing Yun Che, Mu Xiaolan quickly came forward and asked anxiously: “Yun Che, are you…are you okay?”

“What can I do?” Yun Che asked casually.

Situ Xiongying also hurried forward: "Lord Bingfeng, what... happened? Is there an invasion by foreign enemies?"

"An evil thief entered the treasure house and triggered the mysterious formation." Feng Huituo frowned: "But don't worry, he can't run away. He just disturbed everyone. Even if we cut this evil thief into pieces, it won't be enough to vent our anger!"

“…” Yun Che turned his face away. Feng Huituo certainly could not have imagined that the person who triggered the treasure house’s profound formation entered and exited through a secret passage that only royal blood could open, and had already escaped.

Noisy voices came from the north without a pause. There was a lot of discussion in front of the hall. All the palace guards were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy. As time passed, Feng Huituo looked around several times, and then picked up the sound transmission jade several times to transmit the sound, with more and more doubts and uneasiness between his brows.

Finally, he could no longer hold back and ordered, "Go to the Thirteenth Prince's bedroom immediately! If he is not there, send more people to search everywhere. When he is found, have him come to see me immediately."

Elder Yan, who had been following Feng Huituo closely, also frowned: "Given the temperament of the Thirteenth Prince, he would be the first to react if something like this happened, but he has not been seen until now, and he has not even responded to my voice transmission... It is really strange."

"..." Feng Huituo didn't say anything, his face was gloomy from time to time.

Mu Xiaolan’s eyes had been stealing glances at Yun Che, and she was suspicious because her brows had been furrowed since Yun Che arrived, and her gaze was constantly wandering. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yun Che’s eyes: “Hey? What’s wrong with you?”

Yun Che tilted his head slightly and said, “Nothing, I was just thinking about something strange.”

"Strange things?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in front suddenly became chaotic, and dozens of figures approached at a very fast speed, accompanied by an abnormally chaotic atmosphere.

“Father…Father Emperor!!”

Feng Hange pounced from the air and knelt directly in front of Feng Huituo. Under the night sky, his face was frighteningly pale, as if he had just had a serious illness. Upon closer inspection, his body was trembling slightly. Behind him, the dozen or so masters who came with him also had expressions of extreme fear on their faces.

Feng Huituo's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "What happened? Did the villain get away?"

“Father…” Feng Hange’s voice trembled, and even sounded like crying: “The holy object…the holy object was stolen, the evil thief disappeared, and…and…”

"What...what?" The mysterious formation was triggered, and it was obvious that the Qilin Horn was taken away. Feng Huituo was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked when he heard it suddenly. And there was no trace of the other party, which meant that he could not capture it and take it back. He took a step forward, grabbed Feng Hange's shoulders, and his pupils expanded to the maximum: "And what!?"

"..." Feng Hange's face twitched, and he finally uttered a painful sound in his throat: "In the medicine garden... in the medicine garden, a body was found... It's..."

"It's Han Yi's body..."

Feng Hange's words, tinged with tears, were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone's faces. Yun Che even turned his head abruptly...

Mu Hanyi's corpse...

Medicine Garden! ?

What's going on?

Feng Huituo's whole body shook violently, and he staggered violently. Then he suddenly let out a strange cry and grabbed Feng Hange like a madman, his index finger almost sinking into his flesh: "What did you say? What did you say!?"

The crowd parted, and an old man came forward with a soundless body in his hands, then carefully placed him on the ground.

Wow——

This body, which no longer had any breath of life, shocked the entire hall.

Although his body was twisted beyond recognition and his face had lost all color, it was still clear enough to tell that he was the thirteenth prince of the Ice Wind Empire, once recognized as the best of the younger generation in the Snow Song Realm - Mu Hanyi!

“Ah—Senior Brother Han…Senior Brother Han Yi!” Mu Xiaolan covered her lips with her hands and let out a long scream. Her eyes widened and trembled violently. She didn’t dare to believe her eyes at all.

"Ah...ah..." Feng Huituo looked like he was struck by thunder. His face turned pale in an instant. His mouth opened wide, his lips trembled, and a sound like sandpaper friction came from his throat. Then he shook and fell heavily to his knees in front of Mu Hanyi's body.

"Your Majesty!" Old Yan hurried forward, but his face was gloomy, and he did not try to help him up. Because he knew clearly that Mu Hanyi was not only Feng Huituo's most proud son, but also the greatest pride of his life. His sudden death was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Feng Huituo.

“Father, the secret passage… the secret passage is open. That evil thief must… must have kidnapped Han Yi and entered the treasure house through the secret passage, and then escaped from the secret passage… After using Han Yi, he killed him… killed him…” Feng Hange said as he gritted his teeth and tears flowed like a fountain.

The people of the royal family around were crying, and the guests from afar were looking at each other and sighing. With Mu Hanyi's reputation in the Snow Song Realm, his sudden death was not only a major event for the Ice Wind Empire, but also enough to alarm the entire Snow Song Realm.

Mu Hanyi was not just the Ice Wind Prince, he was also the first disciple of the Ice Phoenix Sect! Who on earth had the guts to kill the first disciple of the Ice Phoenix Sect?

"..." Feng Huituo's body was shaking to a terrifying degree, as if he was in the coldest hell in the world. Old Yan held his shoulders and could only comfort him feebly: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. I will definitely find the thief and avenge the Thirteenth Prince."

Feng Huituo suddenly raised his head slowly at this moment and said in a low voice: "Old Yan, go and see what force harmed my Han Yi?"

Feng Huituo's voice was frighteningly calm. Old Yan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and placed it on Mu Hanyi's chest... In a moment, his hand moved away like lightning, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

All eyes were focused on Elder Yan all of a sudden, and Yun Che frowned deeply... What was his reaction?

"Speak!" Feng Huituo's eyes were dim, but the hatred contained in just one word was creepy.

This man called "Old Yan" has been in the Ice Wind Palace for thousands of years. He is the best master in the palace and has no rivals in the entire Ice Wind Empire. But at this moment, he was terrified and seemed to be afraid to speak. He opened and closed his mouth several times before he said with difficulty: "The Thirteenth Prince was killed by extremely heavy cold air. The cold air left in his body is of an extremely high level, and this level of cold air can only... only..."

Elder Yan did not continue speaking, but his eyes quickly glanced at the direction where Yun Che was.

Although he didn't say it, everyone present instantly understood what he wanted to say...

The profound practitioners in the Snow Song Realm basically practiced ice-related profound skills, and the highest level of them was undoubtedly the Ice Phoenix Divine Canon!

Mu Hanyi...died from the power of the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon!

“~!@#￥%…” Yun Che was confused. Mu Hanyi had clearly died from the poison of the Qionglong, and after confirming his death, they even purified the remaining poison from his body… How could it be the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon! ?

And in the imperial palace, there are only two Ice Phoenix disciples who can use the Ice Phoenix God-granting Canon—Mu Xiaolan and Yun Che!

But these two people are far inferior to Mu Hanyi in strength, so it is impossible for them to kill him.

“This… this… shouldn’t happen…” Feng Hange was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.

Feng Huituo, however, slowly stood up at this moment, his cloudy eyes slowly turned to Yun Che, and uttered a breathtakingly calm voice: “My Han Yi is smarter and more cautious than anyone else, and this is his home, how could he be held hostage without a sound?”

Yun Che: “…”

"It is impossible for outsiders to know about the secret passage, so how could they use it to hold someone hostage? The only possibility for the secret passage to be opened is that Han Yi voluntarily brought that person in. The reason may be to bring that person in to see the holy objects. And there is only one person in this palace who can make Han Yi willing to do so... Nephew Yun, does what the prince said make sense?"

After all, he was the emperor of a country. Despite the great pain of losing his son, his mind was eerily clear.

As soon as Feng Huituo said these words, the entire hall suddenly became as cold as ice and became completely silent. Even a fool could hear the meaning of his words clearly. Suddenly, everyone was as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound. The guests from afar held their breath and moved quietly.

“Is the Ice Wind King suspecting that I killed Mu Hanyi?” Yun Che’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

"How dare I, my prince?" Feng Huituo laughed miserably. His laugh was particularly sad. He turned his gaze and looked at a pale-faced girl: "Jin'er, you have been serving Nephew Yun in Bingyi Palace. Tell me, did Nephew Yun sleep well tonight?"

Feng Hanjin's frail body shrank, and then she lowered her head, uttering a trembling voice filled with fear: "Young Master Yun... Young Master Yun... He... He has not been in Bingyi Palace for half an hour..."

Feng Hanjin's words made everyone's heart tighten.

Half an hour ago... This time is too subtle.

Mu Hanyi is the first disciple of the Ice Phoenix, and Yun Che is the disciple that the Great Realm King just accepted...

Things had gotten really serious. They simply couldn't imagine what this meant or how it would end.

"Ha, ha, ha," Feng Huituo laughed, and his laughter became even more sad: "Where are the guards from Bingyi Palace?"

Fifteen strong-looking people walked out, each with a look of fear on their face.

"I have ordered you to protect my nephew Yun at all times. Have you done so?"

The fifteen guards trembled all over, then knelt down at the same time. The leader said in a panic, "Half an hour ago, Master Yun said he wanted to go out to relax, and ordered us not to follow him. We... don't... dare not disobey... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
