In the dormitory.

When Gu Yunle and the others saw Lin Hao coming back, they all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Because Lin Hao's current state seemed a little tense.

"Boss, does Teacher Mo need anything from you?"

Qin Yu asked curiously.

"Nothing, let's just talk about some rune spells."

A smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips, and his expression slowly became natural.

He didn't intend to tell anyone what had just happened.

Otherwise, with the temperament of his brothers, they would probably get angry on the spot and run to settle the score with Mo Yuntian.

Therefore, Lin Hao didn't want them to be implicated.

"That's good."

Qin Yu smiled with relief, then took a big apple, threw it into the air, and said, "Xiaobai, this is for you."

Xiaobai suddenly jumped up, grabbed the fruit in his mouth, and started chewing it sweetly.

Lin Hao was not in the mood to chat with them at the moment, so he turned and walked towards his dormitory.

Looking at Lin Hao's worried back, Raymond frowned slightly and walked out of the dormitory.

"Look at the way the third brother looks like. He must be going to look for his little red again."

Seeing Raymond leave silently, Qin Yu smiled playfully.

"It's a blessing to have a girlfriend."

Gu Yunle chuckled and a flattering expression appeared on his face.

In the past, they had worried that Raymond would be absorbed by Yan Hong's Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique.

But after more than two years, it was discovered that Raymond was not only fine, but his martial arts strength had even increased.

They no longer cared about it and often joked about it.

In the dormitory, Lin Hao lay on his back with his eyes closed, thinking about what had just happened between him and Mo Yuntian, and pondering how to solve the problem.

Yang Chengji is the disciple of the mansion lord Ying Yuanzi, but he is secretly controlled by Mo Yuntian using the Fu Nu Seal.

Logically speaking, Ying Yuanzi is most likely not an accomplice.

Then, the Blind Swordsman can also be ruled out.

Otherwise, with the strength of the two big guys from Tianyan Academy, they would have easily controlled him long ago. Why would they wait until now for Mo Yuntian to take action?

Therefore, Lin Hao came to only one conclusion after analysis.

That is, Mo Yuntian relied on his blood relationship with the Blind Sword Saint to secretly build up a force in Tianyan Academy, intending to seize power and usurp the throne.

However, Mo Yuntian is neither a royal relative nor has any background in the court.

As a mere mentor, it is probably a fantasy for him to seize the throne.

Could it be that there is someone else behind the scenes? !

As his mind turned, Lin Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

As he continued to guess, he felt that this possibility was more appropriate, and the thoughts in his mind began to become clearer.

Now that King Yan is in poor health, each prince has his own supporters in their fight for the new throne, so they are far from evenly matched.

Therefore, in Lin Hao's opinion, the real controller of Mo Yuntian's hidden power must be one of those princes.

The eldest prince Yan Peng, the second prince Yan Fengjun, and the fourth prince Yan Chen.

Images of the three of them emerged in Lin Hao's mind.

As for the third prince Yan Hongyi, it was rumored that he had been weak and sickly since childhood. He lived deep in the palace and ignored the fight for the throne. He was a very low-key person.

So until now, Lin Hao has never seen the third prince.

Immediately, Lin Hao used the method of elimination to eliminate them one by one.

The Fourth Prince Yanchen and I are now friends, so it should be unlikely.

The eldest prince Yan Peng has always wanted to win me over, and I never had any grudge against him at the banquet two years ago.

There is no conflict of interest between the two parties and the possibility is not high.

Although the second prince Yan Fengjun is in the same camp as the eldest prince, all human beings have great ambitions for power.

It's hard to say, on the surface he is cheering for the eldest prince, but in fact he is manipulating it behind the scenes.

Therefore, Lin Hao felt that the second prince Yan Fengjun was more likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, this possibility is not certain.

Lin Hao had watched countless palace dramas, movies and novels in his previous life, and was well aware of the power struggles and various conspiracies and intrigues involved.

Sometimes, the most unlikely people are the most suspicious.

For example, the third prince Yan Hongyi.

Although he does not fight or compete, and stays out of it, he will not be affected by this power struggle.

This approach seems mediocre, calm and non-confrontational.

But if analyzed from another perspective, he undoubtedly intended to reap the benefits by letting the other princes fight to the death, and then he would come out to settle the matter and secure his throne.

Of course, this is just a random analysis by Lin Hao as he has no clue at the moment.

He couldn't be sure until he met the third prince.

Maybe that guy is really a timid and mediocre person.

And if his appearance is always disguised, then the opponent's intentions are really terrifying!

"If I find out who is behind this, it won't be that easy to negotiate."

There was a hint of coldness in Lin Hao's eyes.

Originally he had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water, but now it has come upon him, twice!

Well, he certainly wouldn't just sit there and wait for death!

However, given the current situation, it is undoubtedly difficult to search for clues.

"There's still more than half a month until the celebration, so we should find a place to hide first."

While thinking in his mind, Lin Hao had already made a decision.

Now in Tianyan Academy, he doesn’t want to confront Mo Yuntian head-on.

Even if the other party is killed, if the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found, it will not only be of no benefit, but will also offend the Blind Sword Master.

Therefore, the only solution at the moment is to wait until the day of the celebration to resolve the issue once and for all!

Thinking of this, Lin Hao began to think about his next plan.

"Oh right, the training ground."

Then, an idea flashed in Lin Hao's mind, and he immediately thought of a perfect place to hide.

In order to avoid interference, almost all of Tianyan Academy's training grounds are closed training spaces.

Moreover, in that kind of occasion, with the supervision of the deacons, even if Mo Yuntian had any ill intentions, he would not dare to act rashly.

…

At night, in the East Palace.

A man dressed in eunuch's clothes, carrying a medicine box, walked slowly towards the palace gate.

At this time, the third prince Yan Hongyi and Taifu Yang were playing chess at the table.

"Third Prince, you took another wrong step. What a pity."

The wrinkles on Yang Zhe's old face became more dense as he smiled.

After saying this, the chess piece in his hand landed steadily on the chessboard.

This immediately ended the entire game of chess.

"Although my chess skills have improved recently, I still can't beat the teacher. It's really useless."

Yan Hongyi smiled and shook his head, saying "Yan" helplessly.

"Third Prince, you play chess with me every day, but you never win a game. Don't you feel bored?"

Yang Zhe chuckled and asked meaningfully.

"I've never won against anyone since I was a kid, so I'm used to it."

Yan Hongyi said calmly without caring.

Hearing this, Yang Zhe smiled but said nothing. In his heart, he sneered with disdain: "He is really a useless person with no ambition."

He glanced at Yan Hongyi's right foot and saw a white gauze tied on the sole of the foot with faint scarlet blood stains.

This useless prince not only has no ambition, but is also very weak. He even fell and injured himself while taking a shower in the bathroom a few days ago.

Fortunately, my six-year term as Grand Tutor has expired, and I no longer have to obey His Highness and supervise this good-for-nothing piece of shit.

At this time, the eunuch carrying the medicine box walked in.

He lowered his head and said in a feminine voice, "Third Prince, I'm here to change the medicine for you."

Seeing this, Yang Zhe stood up and took the opportunity to say, "Since the Third Prince wants to change the medicine, don't play chess tonight. You should have a good rest."

"Okay, Teacher Yang, take care."

Yan Hongyi nodded and smiled faintly, his attitude was very polite.

However, after Yang Zhe left, a hint of chill slowly emerged from the smile on Yan Hongyi's face.

"Third Prince, this old man's term of office will expire in a few days. You will not be supervised, so you can relax."

Next to him, the eunuch sneered and looked up at Yan Hongyi.

If Lin Hao were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.

Because this person is Mo Yuntian!

"After six years, I'm tired of seeing his old face."

Yan Hongyi said calmly: "What should you do?"

Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "I am happy to serve the Third Prince. I will make him disappear from this world forever."

Yan Hongyi stared at Mo Yuntian and said indifferently: "I am very dissatisfied with what you did at Tianyan Academy today."

Hearing this, Mo Yuntian felt a chill in his heart.

Obviously, he had never expected that what he did to Lin Hao in private in the office today would be discovered by Yan Hongyi so quickly.

"Third Prince, this is what happened."

Mo Yuntian said indignantly: "If it weren't for Raymond meddling in our affairs, Lin Hao would have become our puppet long ago."

"I will take care of Raymond's matter myself."

Yan Hongyi's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "But I remember that I did not ask you to use the Talisman Slave Seal on Lin Hao."

Hearing Yan Hongyi's cold tone, even Mo Yuntian, who had reached the eighth-level mage level, had a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Third Prince, you have never met Lin Hao, so you don't know how unruly that boy is."

Mo Yuntian quickly explained: "So I can only use some means to make him obedient."

Yan Hongyi snorted coldly, "It's not that difficult to make someone obedient!"

"What I want is a kind of loyalty and obedience that does not affect the development of martial arts."

At this point, Yan Hongyi's voice became even colder: "After being planted with the Talisman Slave Seal, I will become a dog that only obeys your orders!"

"And you, do you want to replace my highness?!"

As the voice fell, an extremely surging spiritual energy suddenly burst out from Yan Hongyi's body.

This spiritual power seemed to materialize in an instant, with layers of black cyclones lingering around it.

This kind of energy fluctuation is extremely similar to the Devouring Starry Sky that Lin Hao practiced, and is filled with a heart-pounding absorption force!

Seeing this, Mo Yuntian was so scared that he quickly bent down and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not."

"If it weren't for the fact that you are the descendant of the Blind Sword Master, I would destroy you right now!"

Yan Hongyi snorted coldly, and then said indifferently: "Next time, remember to be smarter."

After saying this, his ears moved slightly and he heard a slight sound.

The sound was very light, like the tiny sound of footsteps on a dead leaf.

Outside the door, Yang Zhe, who had just left, obviously planned to take a last peek before leaving to find out the truth.

Unexpectedly, this eavesdropping was completely beyond his expectations.

He was so frightened that he dared not stay here any longer and left quietly immediately.

Little did he know that a piece of dead leaf under his feet had already exposed his movements.

whoosh——!

Just as Yang Zhe was about to walk out of the yard, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"Third...Third Prince!"

Yang Zhe took a closer look and his face turned pale immediately, and he stepped back in fear.

However, at the door behind, Mo Tianyun walked over with a gloomy face.

"I originally planned to let you live a few more days. Since you want to die, then it will be as you wish."

Yan Hongyi stared at Yang Zhe indifferently, with a sneer on his lips.

As he spoke, an extremely cold black vortex suddenly burst out from his palm and pressed directly on Yang Zhe's head.

"The Third Hall..."

Before Yang Zhe could beg for mercy, a terrifying devouring force suddenly burst out from the black vortex.

boom!

In just a few breaths, Yang Zhe's body was sucked into a dried corpse!

"It turns out that this old man is a fourth-level warrior. He has some tonic effects."

Yan Hongyi looked down at the withered corpse on the ground with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yuntian's throat rolled and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He remembered very clearly that when he first cooperated with Yan Hongyi, the other party was only a fourth-level warrior.

However, later on, the third prince obtained an uncanny skill from somewhere that allowed him to devour the energy of others for his own use, and his cultivation level increased day by day.

Until now, Yan Hongyi's strength has reached a terrifying level that makes him feel palpitations.

This is also the reason why he felt quite frightened when he saw the black light surging around Yan Hongyi in the hall just now.

"Lin Hao is a rare martial arts genius. If he can be trained and cultivated, he will be a great help when I ascend the throne in the future."

Yan Hongyi's calm voice was filled with murderous intent.

"However, since he already knows your identity, in order to avoid any more trouble, get rid of him as soon as possible and dig out the Rinnegan."

Hearing this, Mo Yuntian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he nodded and said, "I understand."

He then changed the subject and frowned, "But what if Raymond attacks again?"

Yan Hongyi said coldly: "I have already ordered people not to give him this month's blood-sucking poison antidote."

"Right now, he's probably hiding somewhere and holding on."

Hearing that Raymond had suffered, Mo Yuntian's brows immediately relaxed, his face full of gloating.

"Remember, if you make any mistakes again this time, ten years of your cultivation will be wasted."

As Yan Hongyi spoke, spiritual energy condensed on his right palm and a black vortex reappeared.

Seeing this, Mo Yuntian's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said solemnly: "Don't worry, Third Prince, I will complete the task."

"Well, take care of the body before going back."

Yan Hongyi had a calm expression on his face, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the palace room.

Looking at Yan Hongyi's back, Mo Yuntian's eyes were filled with anger, as if he was extremely unhappy with being ordered around like this.

But what can we do about it?

Originally, he wanted to use Yan Hongyi's status as a prince to help him ascend the throne.

Finally, he would use the Talisman Slave Seal to turn Yan Hongyi into a puppet, and he would become the emperor behind the scenes.

However, the plan was far from what he imagined.

During one incident, when she was possessed by a lustful bug and had sex with Yan Hongyi's maid, it turned out that her private parts were smeared with blood-sucking poison, and she was infected.

He never dared to tell his great-grandfather about this ugly incident.

Otherwise, given the Blind Sword Master's usual way of doing things, the consequences would certainly be even more tragic.

There is a high possibility that your cultivation will be destroyed, and you will be thrown into the position of an ordinary person, living an ordinary life.

How could Mo Yuntian be willing to this?

In this way, his so-called conspiracy was played around with by the third prince, who did whatever he wanted.
