"Wow!" Hearing this, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Taizhen Daozun was one of the five assistants of the Dao Court, and his status was even higher than that of Taixun Daozun, the ruler of the Dao Kingdom of Chanlai.

After a while, Zhou Jin showed the Shaoqing seal and the purple jade pendant on his waist. The Shaoqing seal represented his title, and the purple jade pendant was his seal as a disciple of Taizhen Daozun.

At this moment, the onlookers looked at Zhou Jin with a hint of "admiration", because to them, Zhou Jin's starting point was already the end point of many people's struggle.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just say what you need to say." But at this moment, Luan Xiao's words knocked Zhou Jin down from the 'sky' to the ground. The people around him were also extremely shocked. They had never seen a minister dare to scold a junior minister, and this junior minister was a disciple of the Tai Fu.

Zhou Jin's face flushed red after being scolded by Luan Xiao. He then said to the crowd around him, "The corpse tribe of Qucang Mountain was raised by Madam Yao Xing."

"Mrs. Yao Xing?" The crowd paused for a moment, and then a noisy discussion was heard.

"Recently, the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom went to war. I heard that the wife of the King of Jingshan Dao Kingdom is surnamed Yao."

"Could it be this Madam Yao Xing?"

"It's very likely. I heard that Prince Yundan of the Jingshan Dao Kingdom was killed by someone sent by this Madam Jun."

"That Madam Yao Xing is from the Yao family, right?"

"Yes, it's the Yao family..."

"Then why does she keep these corpses?"

"Is there even any need to ask? It seems that Prince Yunhao of the Jingshan Dao Kingdom was ambushed and killed, right?"

"Wow!" Everyone seemed to have guessed some huge secret and was in an uproar. At this time, Luan Xiao had already walked to the front with Zhou Jin.

Soon the news here reached Shenzhou Xiang Miquan, and Shenzhou Xiang Miquan Shaoqing personally led 3,000 soldiers to escort them.

Compared to those people from Chanlai Dao Kingdom who relied on their own guesses, Mi Quan learned the whole story after meeting Fang Jian. Prince Yun Hao was ambushed and killed by the Rotten Corpse Clan who were kept in Qucang Mountain by Madam Yao Xing and ordered Zhou Jin to do so.

Mi Quan was extremely shocked by this incident. Firstly, he was shocked by Madam Yao Xing's behavior, which actually killed the prince and sons born to the wife of the previous king of Jingshan Dao Kingdom. Secondly, he was shocked that someone was raising the corpse clan under his nose, and he didn't even notice it.

At this moment, Mi Quan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Madam Yao Xing wanted to cause trouble, then these three hundred rotten corpses would definitely cause chaos in his Shenzhou.

Thinking of this, Mi Quan expressed his gratitude to Fang Jian again, and personally led three thousand soldiers to escort Fang Jian all the way out of the border. He watched Fang Jian and his party leave the border of Chanlai Dao Kingdom and enter the border of Baizhen Dao Kingdom before returning, and immediately reported the matter to Taixun Daozun, the king of Chanlai Dao Kingdom.

...

Chanlai Taoist Kingdom, Tianxun Taoist Palace, and Wuhou Hall.

The family of Taixun Daozun, the ruler of Chanlai Dao State, was drinking tea and chatting in the hall. Taixun Daozun sat at the top seat, his wife Banshu sat on the left, and the crown prince Xun Yi sat on the right.

After reading the report from Shenzhou Xiang Miquan, Taixun Daozun sent it to the Crown Prince Xun Yi, "Take a look." Taixun Daozun said.

"Yes." Xun Yi stood up respectfully and took the report, then sat down again and read it carefully.

Taixun Daozun leaned slightly towards his wife Banshu and told her the contents of the report.

Ban Shu was sitting there diligently tending to his newly blossomed nine-colored peony. Upon hearing Daoist Taixun's words, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing and said in surprise, "So, those rumors are true?"

Daoist Taixun sighed and said, "It's all true. I advised Daoist Taixu not to marry someone from the five major families, but he simply wouldn't listen."

Ban Shu also knew about this matter. Before Taoist Master Taixu and Madam Yao Xing got engaged, Taoist Master Taixu once visited the Taoist Kingdom of Chanlai. At that time, Taoist Master Taixun had advised Taoist Master Taixu.

"In the end, matters like this are decided by the other party themselves. No matter how good your relationship is, what can it matter? Now that things have come to this, you should stop saying anything more to avoid offending others," said Ban Shu.

Daoist Master Taixun nodded, then said with a look of emotion: "Daoist Fellow Yuge was such a good person, but it's a pity that he died young, leaving behind two sons who are now...sigh!"

Yuge was the original wife of Taoist Taixu, but she died very early. Otherwise, Taoist Taixu would not have married Madam Yao Xing, leading to today's tragedy.

At this point, Taixun Daozun turned to his eldest son, Xun Yi, who was also the crown prince of Chanlai Dao State, and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

Xun Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I'm quite curious about the background of Captain Fang Jian."

Daoist Master Taixun smiled and nodded, saying, "You've nailed the point. This Captain Fang Jian is no ordinary person. He's ostensibly a son of the Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, but he must have a hidden background. Otherwise, how could Daoist Master Taizhen and the Yao clan let him go if he first captured Zhou Jin and then those members of the Corrupted Corpse Clan and made the case public?"

Xun Yi said, "There's only one possibility. This Captain Fang Jian has a powerful background behind him that makes the five ministers and the Yao family wary of him. Otherwise, they wouldn't allow his actions to go unchecked."

Ban Shu then asked curiously, "Who is his background?"

Xun Yi couldn't guess this either. He and his mother both turned their gazes towards Daoist Grandmaster Taixun. Daoist Grandmaster Taixun pondered for a moment, then said, "From the information we've learned about Captain Fang Jian, he seems to be extremely powerful, indicating an exceptional talent for cultivation. He's very likely a disciple of one of the five regents. However, judging by the way he handled this case, he's definitely not a disciple of Daoist Grandmaster Taishi, and his relationship with the Yao family isn't very close."
