At this time, Murong Coast, Murong City.
Murong City, as the main city of the Murong family, is also the largest city on the entire Murong Coast.
Now there are only five days left until the marriage day.
There are also many powerful people from various forces settled in Murong City.
Among them are the masters of the three great kings of the sea, the Evil King, the Blood King, and the Ghost King, as well as Luo Jiutian, the Holy Lord of the Bingyun Holy Dynasty, Ling Jiuya, the Great Elder of the Donggu Holy Land, and others.
At this time, the ancient Murong clan was located within a complex of palaces.
At this moment, some high-level members of the Murong ancient clan were all sitting in a hall.
The Second Elder Murong Heng and the First Elder Murong Bo, both Saint Emperor Realm powerhouses, were also sitting in the hall at this moment.
In addition, there were two old men wearing dark ancient robes.
The two were the "Gu" elders of the Murong Ancient Clan, and they were also the two powerful men that the Murong Ancient Clan personally mobilized to investigate the Xuantian City incident.
Elder Gu is not a single individual.
In the Murong ancient clan, the "Gu" elders are symbols of strength, identity and status. They represent the foundation of the entire Murong ancient clan.
The Murong ancient clan has a total of five ancient elders, all of whom are at the foundation level, and their cultivation realm is all at the Saint Emperor level.
The two men were named Murong Xiu and Murong Ming.
In addition to the four of them, there was also a burly middle-aged man in the hall. His face was intimidating without even getting angry, and he had an aura that could swallow the sky and shake the earth.
This person is Murong Xue’s father and the patriarch of the Murong ancient clan, Murong Jiuxing!
"After all these days, you still haven't found any clues?"
Murong Jiuxing frowned at this moment and asked the two ancient elders.
Murong Xiu and Murong Ming's expressions also looked a little solemn.
"Master, after the incident in Xuantian City, we immediately sent people to search the sea area of thousands of miles around Murong Coast."
"It even extends to the inland sea."
"But what is very strange is that there is no trace of those people."
"And our Murong Ancient Clan's spies also didn't gain anything, whether in the inner sea or other areas of the deep sea."
"It's like they just evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared."
Murong Xiu spoke with a sullen face at this moment.
"How could he disappear from the face of the earth with a woman and a demon beast?!"
"Now all the influential forces in the entire sea area are paying attention to this matter, but you don't have any clues at all."
"Isn't this making a fool of our Murong family?!"
Murong Jiuxing was feeling a little angry, thinking that Murong Xiu and his men were incompetent and had not searched carefully.
"Clan leader, I don't think it's the fault of the two ancient elders. The man who made the move was truly an expert in concealment. I have a deep understanding of this." Great elder Murong Bo spoke at this time.
After hearing this, Murong Jiuxing fell into deep thought.
If the murderer is not caught, it will be a real joke on the day of the marriage.
At this time, a Saint King Realm elder came in and reported: "Master, the people from the Ye clan have arrived."
Murong Jiuxing raised his head, thought for a while and said, "Bring them in."
"yes!"
Soon after, the elder led the Ye clan members into the hall.
There were only a dozen people in the group, excluding some elders of the Ye clan, the other party was the object of this marriage, Ye Chen!
As well as the Ye family’s patriarch, Ye Wentian, and the Ye family’s great elder, Ye Ming!
"Brother Jiuxing."
"Ye Chen meets the elders."
"Meet my father-in-law!"
At this time, Ye Wentian also came in and greeted Murong Jiuxing. Ye Chen was even more polite, looking like a modest gentleman, and saluted.
"Nephew, there is no need to be so polite."
"Brother Ye, please all sit down."
Murong Jiuxing nodded and gestured with his hand.
He did not refuse Ye Chen's call of "father-in-law" and accepted it frankly.
In his eyes, only a gifted child like Ye Chen can become Murong Jiuxing's son-in-law!
After everyone from the Ye family sat down, Ye Wentian noticed that the atmosphere was a little off, so he asked, "Brother Jiuxing, I see that you seem to be a little troubled. Is it because of the incident in Xuantian City?"
Murong Jiuxing did not deny it: "To be honest, it is this matter that has made me feel a little unhappy now."
"After so many days, our Murong Ancient Clan still can't find any clues about the murderer. If this gets out, it will be a joke!"
Hearing Murong Jiuxing's words, Ye Wentian couldn't help but frown.
He naturally knew how powerful the Murong ancient clan was.
The incident happened on their own territory, and so many days have passed, but the Murong ancient clan does not have any clues at all. This is a bit outrageous.
"Brother Jiuxing, could this be a coincidence?"
"Does the Murong family have some potential enemies, or do they want to stir up this matter before the marriage, in order to undermine the prestige of the ancient Murong family and further affect the marriage?"
Ye Wentian suddenly raised this possibility.
"this………"
After hearing this, Murong Jiuxing couldn't help but frown and think deeply.
But no matter what he thought, there was no one to suspect in his mind.
He shook his head: "I don't rule out this possibility, but at the moment, I really can't think of a candidate."
Murong Bo, Murong Heng and the others also looked thoughtful, but they also came to nothing in their minds.
"Father-in-law, if there is no clue in this matter in a short period of time, what should the Murong ancient clan do?" Ye Chen also asked at this time.
If the murderer cannot be found, the impact on the dignity of the ancient Murong clan will definitely be extremely huge!
Furthermore, there is the matter with the Ghost King Sect that needs to be properly resolved and an explanation needs to be given to them.
In particular, Zhang Lingyan's identity, in addition to being the daughter of the Ghost King, she is also the niece of the Yun clan leader.
The Ghost King’s wife, Yunlan, is the younger sister of the Yun clan leader.
This matter directly involved the Ghost King Sect and the Yun Clan.
If they are not given an explanation, the Ghost King Sect may not dare to say anything, but the Yun Clan will surely not let it go.
They have the qualifications to confront the Murong family head-on, so naturally they also want the ancient Murong clan to give them justice. Zhang Lingyan cannot die in vain!
Murong Jiuxing was so distressed because all these things happened at once, and even after sending out two ancient elders, he still couldn't find any clues.
Hearing Ye Chen's words at this moment, Murong Jiuxing frowned and shook his head: "At present, there is indeed no suitable method."
"Father-in-law, if that's the case, would you listen to what I have to say?"
"I have a method. Although it cannot help the Murong ancient clan catch the murderer, it can at least reduce the damage to the reputation of the Murong ancient clan for the time being!" Ye Chen suddenly said.
