Yun Che finished speaking, and casually touched his body with his hand. A small jade stone appeared between his fingers, and there seemed to be a mysterious light flowing on it.
“Mysterious Shadow Stone!?” The people around recognized the object in Yun Che’s hand at a glance: “Could it be…”
"Hmph, Feng Huituo, just look for yourself!"
Yun Che snorted coldly and flicked his finger. The Mysterious Shadow Stone was thrown out and landed on the ground. The mysterious formation inside it was activated the moment it landed, releasing clear mysterious light and sound upwards.
The first wave of mysterious light released by Xuanying revealed the figure of Mu Hanyi. However, his expression was so eerie that it made everyone feel unfamiliar and unbelievable. His voice was filled with a hideousness that should not have appeared on him.
"...I will personally present it to my master. As for you, you will not be able to see that moment, because you...will die here soon!"
The image of the Xuanying Stone could not be faked. Feng Huituo felt cold all over instantly and he could not believe his eyes and hearing at all.
"What did you say? You...you want to kill me? You dare to kill me!?"
“No, no, no, I dare not, Senior Brother Yun Che is the sect master’s personal disciple. Even if Han Yi has the courage of heaven, he dare not touch a hair of yours. Of course, I did not kill you, but... when you tried to steal the Qilin Horn, you were unfortunately trapped in the trap here and died!”
“Brother Yun Che, don’t be nervous… I will cover it up very well. Even if the sect master comes in person, he will not be able to see any flaws. You must trust me on this point.”
……………………
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed again, and huge shock appeared on everyone's face. The person in the mysterious shadow formation was undoubtedly Mu Hanyi. His appearance, his words... Everyone saw and heard it clearly. It was clear that he deliberately led Yun Che into the treasure house, and then took the opportunity to murder him!
To murder the direct disciple of the Great King of the Realm is such a heinous crime and such audacity.
Feng Huituo's anger and sorrow disappeared, and his face, with every inch of his flesh trembling, was filled with extreme fear. His body shook, and he sat down heavily on the ground with a thud, his pupils trembling so much that they almost popped out of their sockets: "No... no... no... impossible... this is not true... this is not true..."
Just now, he was still roaring at Yun Che with a heart full of rage… However, if Mu Hanyi had murdered Yun Che first, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died a thousand or ten thousand times, let alone an untimely death.
Feng Hange knelt there, his eyes pale, as if frozen. Compared to Feng Huituo, he was not so difficult to accept. Before nightfall, Mu Hanyi said to him - the words that almost made his heart jump out of his chest with fear, he still remembered clearly.
And the image of the black shadow stone continues.
“You… you are crazy!” This was Yun Che’s voice: “This… this is your Ice Wind Empire. If I die, even if Master really believes that I died from a trap, with Master’s temper, you will all be buried with her in anger!”
"Oh! That's right, absolutely right." Mu Hanyi nodded and smiled nonchalantly: "Even if you 'sacrifice yourself to steal the sacred object of my Bingfeng Empire', it is normal for the sect master to raze the entire imperial city in anger... But, even if the entire Bingfeng Empire is destroyed, the sect master will definitely not kill me!"
………………
"If I can succeed, what does it matter if the entire Ice Wind is destroyed?"
………………
"...You got rid of the guards, so no one would know where you went or who you were with. As for me, I left through the secret passage in my bedroom. That is to say, no one would know that I had left the bedroom. Everyone would know that I was sleeping peacefully in my bedroom when you 'broke into' the treasure house and died in the trap."
"I have even figured out how you broke in. But... I have to sacrifice my poor little sister."
“Enough… Enough!!”
Feng Huituo's soul finally collapsed completely. He howled and pounced towards the Xuanying Stone. He smashed his palm with an extremely chaotic aura, causing the Xuanying Stone to shatter instantly and the mysterious light to dissipate.
The surroundings were deathly quiet, with only Feng Huituo's extremely heavy breathing. Beside Yun Che, Mu Xiaolan was completely frozen in place, as if in a dream. On the other side, Feng Hanjin had already lost her color. Xuanyingshi's last voice made her body slowly go limp. She hugged her shoulders with both hands and kept shaking.
To Mu Xiaolan, Mu Hanyi is the most respected senior brother.
To Feng Hanjin, he is her most beloved and admired brother.
To Feng Huituo, that was his proudest son...
To everyone present, even though he had not become a direct disciple of the Great King, he was still a child of destiny that no one in the Snow Song Realm could match...
Who could have thought that this peerless nobleman who was perfect in every field would be such a sinister, vicious, and unscrupulous person. For the possibility of becoming the direct disciple of the Great King of the Realm... just the possibility, he did not hesitate to assassinate Yun Che, did not hesitate to destroy his motherland, and did not hesitate to poison his own sister with his own hands!
Yun Che did not stop Feng Huituo from destroying the Mysterious Shadow Stone. He lowered his brows and said coldly, “Didn’t you insist on knowing the reason? Are you satisfied with this reason?”
Feng Huituo collapsed there, showing no reaction to Yun Che's words, as if he had lost his soul.
“He wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead. It’s that simple.” Yun Che frowned. “If my master knew that Mu Hanyi had done this to me, given my master’s temper, he might implicate the entire Bingfeng clan. At the very least, it would affect the royal family.”
Yun Che's words caused Feng Huituo's body to tremble violently, and the eyes of all the royal family members also released huge fear at the same time... They knew very well that Yun Che's words were by no means alarmist.
“So, I plan to keep this matter secret to avoid making a big fuss. After all, this is just Mu Hanyi’s personal ambition and evil deeds, and has nothing to do with others. There is no need to bury you all in it.” Yun Che’s eyes turned cold: “But you insist on being aggressive, humph! Now, it has been done as you wished!”
Feng Huituo’s whole body shuddered, and he rushed to Yun Che, tears streaming down his face, “I was stupid, I was blind, I didn’t realize I had raised such a wicked creature… I was in vain for your kindness… I deserved to die… Please… please don’t tell the Great Realm King about this, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life…”
The pain of losing his son, the fear, the regret, the terror... Feng Huituo felt as if he was in purgatory, regretting his decision and feeling miserable. If the image of the black shadow stone had not been clearly presented in front of him, he would rather die than believe that his most proud son could have such terrible ambitions and a heart...
It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, let alone he is the emperor of a country. But at this moment he was painfully shocked to realize that he had never understood his son.
And along with knowing all this, the entire Bingfeng royal family may be implicated by Mu Hanyi and suffer a catastrophic disaster.
“It’s too late.” Yun Che glanced around coldly: “Now that things have come to this, do you think it’s still possible to keep it a secret?”
Feng Huituo was stunned, and then he lowered his head deeply, his face ashen. In front of the hall, there were not only people from the palace, but also a large number of guests who came to celebrate the birthday, all of whom were of extraordinary status. Even if they all swore to never reveal a single word, the news that Mu Hanyi wanted to murder the disciple of the Great King would spread in a very short time.
Because the only people in the world who can truly keep secrets are the dead.
“Master Bingfeng, you don’t need to be so pessimistic.” Yun Che glanced at him and said indifferently, “Although destroying a royal family is just a snap of a finger for Master, Master is definitely not an unreasonable and cruel person. After I return to the sect, I will tell Master the whole story and explain that everything was Mu Hanyi’s idea. In addition, I am not hurt at all. Master may not bother to blame you, the Bingfeng royal family. In addition… I will present the holy object to Master on your behalf. Master may be even more lazy to pursue the matter when he feels your sincerity.”
Feng Huituo raised his head suddenly, and his pale face finally regained some color. He nodded without panic: "My nephew Yun's kindness... My little king... My little king... I can't repay you... Please... My nephew Yun must speak well of me in front of the Great King. My loyalty to the Great King is witnessed by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth can testify... From now on, if my nephew Yun says a word, I, Bingfeng, will not refuse even if I die..."
Feng Huituo was completely incoherent due to the huge blow, excitement and fear.
"So, the matter of the holy object..."
Feng Huituo fell to the ground and said, "Please... Please, nephew Yun, present the holy object to the Great Realm King. If this object can satisfy the Great Realm King's wishes, it will be the creation of the holy object, and the King will be extremely happy."
"That's great."
Yun Che nodded, then turned around and said, “If there is nothing else, I should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will leave directly for the sect, so there is no need to see me off.”
Without waiting for anyone to respond, Yun Che flew up and headed straight for Bingyi Palace.
The Icewind Palace was destined to be restless that night. He didn't care how the Icewind royal family would handle the subsequent events, because the purpose of his trip had been achieved much faster than he expected, although there were some twists and turns.
As they walked away from the Ice Wind Palace, Yun Che’s expression gradually relaxed, and he let out a sigh: “Master is right. In this world, there is no fairness, only the law of the jungle. Sigh.”
“I am now nothing more than a fox relying on the power of a tiger.” Yun Che laughed at himself and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, a long sigh was heard from the sky far away, where no one could notice it. Then, a sliver of ice passed by and disappeared like a twinkling star.
——————————————
"I still can't believe that Senior Brother Han Yi would be that kind of person."
On the ice boat that was sailing through the air, Mu Xiaolan held her chin with both hands, her eyes blank. It was obvious that she still hadn't fully accepted what happened last night.
They have already left the Ice Wind Empire, and in a few hours, they will return to the Ice Phoenix Realm.
“It seems like you didn’t listen to anything I said to you before.” Yun Che stood on the other side of Bingzhou and rolled his eyes.
“If you put that kind of words on Senior Brother Han Yi, no one… no one would believe it.” Mu Xiaolan trailed off as she spoke, then turned around and said, “It’s so strange. Everyone in the sect likes and respects Senior Brother Han Yi, and no one thinks he’s… a bad person. And you’ve only been in the sect for such a short time, why do you think he’s a bad person so early? I remember… it seems like you said something strange on the first day you met him.”
“If I were as stupid as you, I would have died countless times.” Yun Che said as if it was a matter of course.
“As expected, you are making fun of me again.” Mu Xiaolan pursed her lips, but this time her protest was not strong. She stole a few glances at Yun Che and suddenly said, “Yun Che, you seem to be absent-minded all the time… Are you also a little bit worried about Senior Brother Han Yi?”
“I’m not going to get hung up on a dead person.” Yun Che rubbed his forehead and said, “I can now be sure that someone in the sect has secretly followed us to Bingfeng.”
“Ah!?” Mu Xiaolan stood up in surprise.
“And he’s a very powerful person!” Yun Che gritted his teeth. Last night, he was frightened several times, but after returning to Bingyi Palace, he calmed down and thought about it… He didn’t move, and he didn’t move the Qilin Horn, but stole Mu Hanyi’s body, the “frame-up” method with superb means but full of loopholes, the aura of the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon on Mu Hanyi’s body, and nothing unusual happened after leaving Bingfeng Palace…
After summarizing the situation, he came to the conclusion that this was clearly a "prank" that the person in the dark had done on impulse! It was definitely not to harm him, but simply to cause trouble for him and then watch the show.
“Senior Sister Xiaolan, tell me…is there any hall master or palace master in the sect who is more… um, the type who is playful, loves to play, and likes to play tricks on others?” Yun Che described it with great difficulty.
“How could it be possible!” Mu Xiaolan rejected it without even thinking: “The Palace Master and Palace Master are very cold and serious people, and the Master is the most gentle. How could it be like what you said?”
“I think… that’s true.” Yun Che scratched his scalp vigorously. This was also the point that had been puzzling him for a long time. “That kind of technique and method, I feel like only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl could do it, but at this age…”
When in the treasure house, not only did he not notice the existence of the person in the dark, but Mu Hanyi was also unaware of it. This proved that the person's strength was definitely far above Mu Hanyi, at least one major realm higher... and this strength was definitely not that of a disciple.
After all, he is the sect master's direct disciple. Anyone who has the guts to play a trick on him like this should at least be a person at the level of the Palace Master of the Hanxue Palace.
“Who could it be?” Yun Che pondered over and over again.
