"This matter is related to the annihilation of the Han and Tang families." Ye Lanxuan said in a deep voice.
"What!" Tang Bufan's whole body was shocked.
The annihilation of the Han and Tang families was a thorn in Tang Bufan's heart. Although he followed Mu Hanyan to the Holy Court and had no suspicion of Ye Lanxun, after all, the Han and Tang families were destroyed by the hands of the Holy Court. He was always wary of the Holy Court and could not let it go.
After arriving at the Holy Court, he had also sought an opportunity to ask Jian Wuchen about what had happened back then. However, Jian Wuchen's injuries had not healed over the years, and he had not been involved in the affairs of the Holy Court for a long time. He knew nothing about the annihilation of the Han and Tang families, so he did not get any results.
However, he didn't expect that Ye Lanxuan had already started investigating.
"The Handang and Han families were indeed destroyed by the Holy Court. The one who did it was the Holy Star Branch of the Law Enforcement Hall. The law enforcement elder in charge of the Holy Star Branch at that time was Tian Annan. When I came back, I passed by the Holy Star Branch and checked the decree of that year. It was indeed issued by the Holy Court." When he said this, Tang Bufan's face had changed a little.
If it is confirmed that the Han and Tang families were really destroyed by the Holy Court, then the Holy Court and he will be sworn enemies, and he and Ye Lanxuan will also become enemies. How should Mu Hanyan face it then?
However, Ye Lanxuan immediately changed the subject and continued, "But I checked the records of the Holy Court and found no such decree."
"That is to say, someone forged the imperial edict!" Tang Bufan breathed a sigh of relief.
The demise of the Han and Tang families is irreversible, and he will definitely take revenge, but he does not want to be an enemy of Ye Lanxuan, and even more unwilling to be an enemy of Mu Hanyan.
"Yes, I have checked many times. I just went to the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Hall, but I couldn't find any records about that decree. Except for Tian Annan, who received the decree at the beginning, no one else knew about it. Someone must have forged the decree, and even Tian Annan has been kept in the dark until now." Ye Lanxuan nodded and said.
"As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Tian Annan can't even tell the truth from the false. He is clearly taking human life lightly!" Jiang Yuzhe said angrily.
"You can't blame him for this. The decree was real. It was indeed issued by the Holy Court. It even had the seal of the Law Enforcement Hall on it. It was just stolen by someone." Ye Lanxuan said.
"Who would do such a thing, and who has such great ability?" Jiang Yuzhe opened his mouth slightly and said in surprise.
Mu Hanyan and the others said nothing, but they all frowned. The Holy Court dominated the entire Holy Court Continent, a vague existence to most people, even many royal descendants. Without the teleportation array, no one would be able to find the Holy Court. The Law Enforcement Hall was responsible for monitoring and punishment, and a single decree could determine the life and death of countless people, so naturally, security was even tighter.
The person who could sneak into the Law Enforcement Hall and steal the seal would never be an outsider, but someone from the Holy Court! And he would never be an ordinary disciple.
However, what Jiang Yuzhe asked was obviously nonsense. If Ye Lanxuan had found out who that person was, he would not be here at this time.
"My Lord Saint, don't you know about these things?" Tang Bufan asked after a moment of silence.
"Perhaps in the eyes of the world, the former Tianji family was rich enough to rival a country and could even influence the succession of thrones in various countries. It was certainly an extraordinary top-tier wealthy family. However, in the eyes of the Holy Court, it was just a secular family. Perhaps some people would pay attention to it, but the old master would not take it to heart." Ye Lanxuan said slowly.
Although this sounds a bit contemptuous of the former Han family, it is indeed true. It is true that the Han family was once rich enough to rival a country, but when it comes to the Tianji family, it is the result of rumors spread by the world. After all, they just have the convenience of business, a wide range of friends, and more smooth information than ordinary people. In terms of their ultimate heritage, they cannot be compared with ancient families such as the Mu family who have the bloodline of the guardian of God.
The Holy Court Continent is vast and has many countries. How could the Holy Lord care about such a family?
As for why that person attacked the Han and Tang families, there was no need to ask for the reason. Even someone as slow to react as Jiang Yuzhe could guess it. It was naturally for the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants on Mu Hanyan's body, or more precisely, for the Tianji Mirror. However, they failed in the end, allowing Zhao Lingxian and others to find the location of the ancient ruins. Of course, that was another matter.
No matter what, everyone felt relieved when they knew that the extermination of the Han and Tang families was not caused by the order of the Holy Court, but was a false order.
"No matter who did this, he will eventually reveal his true identity, and I will definitely give you an explanation." Ye Lanxuan said to Tang Bufan.
Tang Bufan looked at Ye Lanxun and nodded heavily.
"Also, Huayue, I also looked into the death of your parents, but still couldn't find any records." Ye Lanxuan said to Huayue again.
Hua Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. He had always suspected that his parents died from the temple's pursuit, but Gu Huangji's words completely denied this guess.
If it wasn't the Temple, then it could only be the Holy Court. Even though his parents betrayed the Temple and risked their lives to cross the Beiyuan Mist Plain to seek refuge in the Holy Court Continent, the Holy Court shouldn't have done that. But Hua Yue couldn't think of anyone else except them. After all, with the strength of his father, the Divine Language Priest, even if they came to the Holy Court Continent, ordinary people would not be able to kill them.
"Do you suspect this person is also responsible for Huayue's parents' death?" Mu Hanyan asked. Ye Lanxuan, mentioning the death of Huayue's parents, probably had similar suspicions.
"It's possible, but I can't be sure now." Ye Lanxuan did not jump to conclusions easily. This kind of major matter related to blood feuds could not be concluded lightly.
"Then let's wait until we find that person." Hua Yue said, with a murderous look in his eyes.
Although he has no memory of his parents, they are blood relatives after all, and he must avenge them.
It was unknown how much time had passed since they left Anyun. Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun had reunited after a short separation. Hua Yue and the others did not stay to disturb them. They said goodbye and left, returning to the yard first.
"I never thought that such a thing would happen in our Holy Court. Someone actually dared to steal the seal and falsely pass on the decree, causing innocent people to lose their families and their lives. I have not been concerned about worldly affairs for these years, and I have failed in my duty." Jian Wuchen said with a look of self-blame.
"Uncle Wu Chen, you're too kind. Even our master was kept in the dark. How can you be blamed for this?" Ye Lanxuan said sympathetically.
Although Jian Wuchen is of a very high generation, he has been injured for so many years that many disciples of the Holy Court have long regarded him as a useless person. There are some things that he cannot take care of even if he wants to.
