After Prime Emperor Lan Ji voiced his guess, he didn’t receive a reply from Prime Emperor Yu Tian.

Prime Emperor Yu Tian stared at him blankly for a long time. Then, he broke free from Prime Emperor Lan Ji’s hands and hugged his head with his hands while shaking his head in pain. His face was covered in tears as he let out pained cries.

Everyone’s eyes turned red.

When Prime Emperor Lan Ji saw Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s reaction, he knew.

He sat on the ground and leaned against the stone table as he muttered in a daze, “How is this possible? Your father and Zhan Jiuxiao’s father were sworn brothers. The two of you grew up together and were always inseparable. At that time, there were people in the cultivation world who joked and thought that the two of you were a couple. It was only when Prime Emperor Jiuxiao and Madam Brulee got together that the rumors were unraveled.”

“You and Prime Emperor Jiuxiao are close friends. How could he be so ruthless towards you?!” Prime Emperor Lan Ji suddenly lifted the pants of Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s pants. The pants were dirty, and his legs, which were hidden by the pants, were cut off from the middle of his thighs by a knife.

The wound was so neat that it could be seen that the culprit didn’t hesitate when he swung the knife.

Prime Emperor Lan Ji was unwilling to believe that this was true.

At that moment, Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang, and the others walked around the stone table and squatted down.

After Sheng Xiao removed Prime Emperor Lan Ji’s hand from Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s body, he held Prime Emperor Yu Tian’s wrist gently as he looked down at his bony hands. “Prime Emperor Yu Tian.” Sheng Xiao looked at Prime Emperor Yu Tian gently as he asked carefully, “Is the person who harmed you really Prime Emperor Jiuxiao?”

“If that’s the case, just nod. If not, just shake your head.”

After Sheng Xiao finished speaking, everyone looked at Prime Emperor Yu Tian silently and waited for his reaction.

Under everyone’s nervous gazes, Prime Emperor Yu Tian finally nodded gently.

[Yes.]

Seeing this, the few people who were already prepared still felt dismayed.

Ye Qingyang leaned against the stone table as he lamented, “One can’t judge a book by its cover. I only guessed that Prime Emperor Jiuxiao might have killed Mr. Sheng Pinghui, but I didn’t expect him not to even let his good buddy off.”

“He’s so heartless to his good buddy, so I don’t believe that he’s the kind of person who would lose his mind because of his daughter’s death.” Ye Qingyang looked at Sheng Xiao and said thoughtfully, “Zhan Shuangxue’s death probably wasn’t even worth mentioning to Zhan Jiuxiao. He killed Mr. Sheng Pinghui not because of his daughter’s encounter. He just wanted to kill him.”

“Maybe it was to silence him. Maybe it was for another purpose.”

Ye Qingyang firmly believed that his guess was right.

Yu Huang agreed with Ye Qingyang’s opinion very much. She nodded and said, “I also think that Prime Emperor Jiuxiao lied about Grandpa’s death.”

When Prime Emperor Yu Tian heard Ye Qingyang and Yu Huang’s conversation, the ruthlessness and killing intent in his eyes gradually faded. Prime Emperor Yu Tian typed on the keyboard again and asked them: [You guys already know that Pinghui’s death is related to Zhan Jiuxiao?]

Sheng Xiao and the others nodded when they saw the words on the screen.

Sheng Xiao took the initiative to explain to Prime Emperor Yu Tian, “The few of us have successfully entered the inner academy. A few days ago, when I went to the Cang Lang Academy’s training area to do a mission, I met a level-9 Succubus Witch.”

Prime Emperor Lan Ji said impatiently, “I know that level-9 Succubus Witch. In the past, when a child in our clan went to the inner academy to study, we met that Succubus Witch. He told us that the Succubus Witch is very strange. It rarely attacks people. It only resists to protect itself when it is provoked. He even saw that the Succubus Witch was so hungry that it squatted under a tree to find raw mushrooms to eat.”

Lan Ji shook his head and lamented, “As a Succubus Witch, it didn’t have the slightest bit of demonic nature. It’s really an embarrassment to Succubus Demons.”

When she heard this, Yu Huang couldn’t help but think of the day when the Succubus Witch ran to the villa area on the lake island and sneaked into their villa to eat her cooked noodles and demon beast hooves.

From the looks of it, he subconsciously thought that he was a human, so he was unwilling to attack Beast Tamer students, nor was he willing to live like a wild beast by eating raw meat. That was why he ran to eat wild mushrooms when he was so hungry that he couldn’t take it anymore.

Thinking of this, Yu Huang felt extremely sad.

Sheng Xiao’s heart ached as well.

Sheng Xiao said to Prime Emperor Yu Tian, “When I met that Succubus Witch, I fought with it. However, it actually said the words ‘Hanging Hundred Ghosts’ to me.” After a pause, Sheng Xiao continued, “Hanging Hundred Ghosts is a Divine Hunt move that my grandfather cultivated. Because my father and many direct disciples of my clan cultivated this technique, there’s no mistaking it.”

In the entire Sheng clan, only Sheng Xiao didn’t specifically cultivate the Divine Hunt. That was because Sheng Xiao had obtained the fifth-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique, Myriad Slash, in the Loulan Pavilion when he was young. It was too strenuous to cultivate the Myriad Slash, so he gave up on the Divine Hunt and focused on cultivating the Myriad Slash.

However, Sheng Xiao, who had watched his senior brothers cultivate and kill Divine Ghosts since he was young, could naturally see through the Hanging Hundred Ghosts at a glance.

“I was suspicious at that time, but the Succubus Witch ran away. Later on, we searched for it for a long time before we successfully captured it. We found this in the Succubus Witch’s body.” Sheng Xiao took out the Demon Suppressing Eagle again.

As soon as that thing came out, there was an unpleasant stench in the cave. The stench actually covered the fishy stench that was already present in the cave.

Prime Emperor Lan Ji gagged from the stench.

He pinched his nose in disdain and glanced at the sign in Sheng Xiao’s hand from afar as he asked in confusion, “What is this?”

Sheng Xiao handed it to Prime Emperor Yu Tian as he said, “Prime Emperor Yu Tian, do you know this thing?”

Prime Emperor Yu Tian stared at him for a long time before typing on the keyboard with a complicated expression. “Yes, this is the Demon Suppressing Eagle.”

“That’s right, this is the Demon Suppressing Eagle.”

Hearing the words ‘Demon Suppressing Eagle’, Prime Emperor Lan Ji immediately perked up. “Demon Suppressing Eagle?”

Prime Emperor Lan Ji’s eyes widened and he didn’t mind that the Demon Suppressing Eagle was disgusting. Prime Emperor Lan Ji snatched the Demon Suppressing Eagle from Sheng Xiao’s hand and studied it carefully for a moment. He didn’t understand it, so he said, “170 years ago, Zhan Jiuxiao used a level-nine Spirit Tool, the Demon Suppressing Eagle, to successfully suppress the great demon and the Black Eye. Various versions of this story has long been spread by people in the Cang Lang Continent.”

“Back then, when that great demon wreaked havoc in the human world, the elites of my Four-Armed Clan and the other clans also came out of seclusion to attack him. However, they were unable to successfully kill him no matter what.”
