After the three of them left Tianyi Pavilion, they went straight back to where they had lived before.
Soon, Liu Xiang, who heard the sound of the wind, walked in with a gloomy face, "Zong Ting, what's going on?"
"What else could it be? Your young master was assassinated." Li Changan said with disdain, "The public security in your Chaoyang City is extremely poor. This kind of thing would never happen in my Taixuan Sect."
The assassination took place in broad daylight on the street, and the impact was so bad that even Li Changan could not bear it.
The most important thing is that if Nezha hadn't suddenly attacked, he would probably have been dragged into it and silenced.
"Damn it! I'll check right away. If I find out, I'll make him suffer the excruciating pain." Liu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Li Changan clicked his tongue and ignored it.
Soon, Liu Xiang came back.
"Useless?" Li Changan waved his hand. "I knew that a killer who dared to assassinate the city lord's young master in the street would never leave any clues or evidence. I'm sure that even if you catch the assassin who escaped, you won't find anything."
Liu Xiang looked unhappy, obviously what Li Changan said was right.
Zong Ting also looked gloomy, with some pain between his brows.
"Actually, the murderer isn't hard to guess. The only ones in Chaoyang City who dare to attack you and stand to gain something from it are none other than the two princes. Look how difficult it is for you all..." Li Changan was bored for a moment. "Damn it, what the hell is this gift? I'm packing up and heading back to Taixuan tomorrow. I can't even wait for Zong Baiye to ascend, I'm ascending first..."
"You said that it was Zong Yao and Zong Ye who assassinated Zong Ting?"
Zong Yao is the eldest son of Chaoyang City, with a cultivation level that reaches the Divine Realm. Zong Ye is the second best, with a cultivation level that reaches the pinnacle of Heart Illumination.
"How dare they? If the city lord knew about this blatant fratricide, they would definitely be stripped of their identities and expelled from Chaoyang City." Liu Xiang was both shocked and angry.
"If you know everything, then Zong Yao and Zong Ye must know it too." Li Changan analyzed.
"Either someone sensed the threat Zong Ting posed to him and acted impulsively. Or, they were trying to frame someone and kill Zong Ting, a useless character, to get someone else out of the game. That's pretty smart."
Li Changan waved his hand, "Of course, I also don't rule out the possibility that Beitianmen or Baiyang Academy, which also have huge power, will intervene."
Zong Baiye wasn't even dead yet, and someone was already planning to take over Chaoyang City? It was a well-established holy land, after all. Could it be that it had no respect for itself?
"It shouldn't be an external force. Chaoyang City's thousand-year-old heritage can't possibly be completely intimidating. Even if it's weakened, the clan leader is still here. The outcome is uncertain. Once the truth is revealed, even Beitianmen will be in trouble."
"But... Zong Ting has never had any intention of taking the position of city lord. In order to avoid fratricide, he even left Chaoyang City. This shouldn't make anyone feel threatened."
Li Changan chuckled, "Then there's only the second possibility."
"Kill Zong Ting and frame him, and use this to get another person out. What a pity..."
Liu Xiang looked at Zong Ting with a complicated expression. Zong Ting stood by the window, his body straight, but with a hint of loneliness.
Brothers killing each other is the most cruel thing.
The problem is, killing you is not simply because you are a threat, but you are being used as a tool to frame another person, which is really annoying.
It's so embarrassing.
"Little brother, think about it more open-mindedly. Your two brothers killed you just because they coveted the position of city lord..." Li Changan scratched his head, feeling something was wrong. "What I mean is, your brotherhood is not as important as the power of city lord..."
"That's not right. Your two brothers don't even treat you as a brother..."
Li Changan said apologetically, "Well, I'm not very good at comforting people."
Zong Ting took a glance and said, "I see."
The scene was a bit awkward.
"You should find a way to investigate. Don't let your father ascend before you do..."
Li Changan pulled Nezha and the two of them left the room.
In the hall, Zong Ting stood quietly at the window, looking lonely.
"Uncle Liu, are they really going to kill me?"
Liu Xiang was silent for a moment. "In Chaoyang City's history, there are many cases of brothers killing each other for power. Sometimes, family ties are not as important as you think."
Zong Ting was depressed and silent for a long time.
The door to the room was knocked open, and the burly Baili Youqin rushed in. "Zong Ting, are you okay?"
Zong Ting shook his head, a rare hint of warmth in his eyes.
The two brothers were still not reliable because of a woman from another family.
"Was it Zong Yao or Zong Ye who did it?" Baili Youqin hit the nail on the head. "Those two bastards are truly cold-blooded beasts. They even murdered their own brothers."
"We can't just let this go. Find out what's going on, report it to the city lord, and have this bastard kicked out of Chaoyang City!"
Liu Xiang waved his hand. "It's useless. Even if they find out, what good will it do? As long as Zong Ting is alive, it won't be of any use. Besides, the City Lord is currently in seclusion, cultivating his sword energy and preparing for the tribulation in a month. It's best not to disturb him."
"Hmph, Zong Ting is such a coward. Uncle Liu, are you also so indecisive?" Baili Youqin snorted coldly. "Are you just going to watch Zong Ting become a bargaining chip in the fight between those two bastards, watch the position of City Lord fall into their hands, and leave the fate of Chaoyang City to that kind of trash?"
The broadsword in Baili Youqin's hand slammed heavily to the ground.
"My Baili family would be the first to disagree!"
Liu Xiang's eyes darkened, and he immediately shook his head. "Zong Yao and Zong Ye are both talented and powerful, and with the support of the Li and Lu families, if this matter isn't handled properly, it could lead to civil unrest in Chaoyang City."
