The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 267 Assassination
With Yu Jiaolong's natural talent, she broke through to the divine will at the age of 22, ranking seventh on the human list. This was also among the best among the royal children. It was impossible for the clan office not to pay attention to her.

From Wan Zhenhai's attitude just now, Old Man Mo knew that the other party was unwilling to believe from the bottom of his heart that Yu Jiaolong would do something so brutal as to kill her own nephew.

“Zhao Ning girl said she was wronged, and I believed her.

Because she had no motive to do so. Even if she was the only divine will left in the lineage of King Yue, the clan office would never allow her to inherit the throne just because she killed her blood relative!
I just don’t know what you are thinking, sir.”

At the local level, the fight for the throne of a vassal king was not as cruel as that for the throne of the emperor, and even a loss of life was considered a major event.

If during a dispute over the throne, the crown prince or princess is found to have murdered her relatives, she will be arrested and handed over to the clan court for severe punishment.

If Yu Jiaolong wanted the throne, she would not openly kill her nephew.

This is also the reason why Wan Zhenhai suspected that something was fishy and never let up his investigation, because Yu Jiaolong had no motive to kill anyone.

But
"Although I believe that the child would not do such a cruel act, dozens of eyes witnessed the incident that day. The evidence is overwhelming. It is not so easy to clear the injustice."

"Ironclad evidence doesn't necessarily mean that it's true, right?" Old Man Mo immediately retorted, "Did anyone see her kill her own nephew with their own eyes?"

Wan Zhenhai was stunned, and after recalling the testimonies of the people present, he said, "That's not the case, but it is undeniable that Zhao Hua was severely injured by her sudden blow."

Old Man Mo's face suddenly turned serious and he said, "That's because she saw that it was Wan Zhaohua who killed Prince Qingfeng himself!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wan Zhenhai gave a negative answer without thinking.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could Wan Zhaohua kill his own son just to frame his own sister?
As far as he knew, although the Yue King's family was not harmonious, the relationship between the three generations was pretty good.

Even animals have feelings, let alone Wan Zhaohua is a father and brother?
Wan Zhenhai believed that Wan Zhaohua, like Yu Jiaolong, had no motive to kill.

But Wan Qingfeng was indeed killed, and he didn't put up any resistance. It was obvious that it was someone close to him who did it, so he was caught off guard.

At that time, only Yu Jiaolong and Wan Zhaohua were able to take action.

So this is where the weird thing happened, and it made Wan Zhenhai feel unbelievable.

Old Man Mo did not refute, but simply said: "Sir, that's because Wan Zhaohua practiced the magic of the Forgetful Way!"

"Huh?!" Wan Zhenhai's eyes narrowed, "Do you have evidence?"

Old Man Mo shook his head: "This is what Zhao Ning saw with her own eyes, so it can't be counted. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to hide here and there. But soon, will Fang Xun get the evidence?"

"Fang Xun, is he the one hiding in the courtyard of the government office?"

Wan Zhenhai was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face again.

Fang Xun and Old Man Mo sneaked into the palace together, but neither of them completely concealed their aura and deliberately let Wan Zhenhai sense it.

After entering, Old Man Mo went directly to Wan Zhenhai's room, while Fang Xun was lurking in the main courtyard where Wan Zhaohua was.

This made Wan Zhenhai feel that these two guys were quite sensible and had no intention of hiding anything from him before coming.

"Haha, this guy is not only famous throughout Jiangnan, but even I can hear his name every day when I go to court. My ears are callused from hearing it so much."

Old Man Mo was puzzled and asked, "How could it be possible? What did he do that he is mentioned every day?"

Wan Zhenhai sneered: "It's still that group of corrupt scholars who said Fang Xun was the ghost-faced man and asked His Majesty to sentence him to death immediately.

Some people have lost their minds and have forgotten that this world does not belong to their school of thought!"

Old Man Mo was startled: "Do they really want to kill Fang Xun?"

Wan Zhenhai sneered and said, "It's just a few words. It doesn't take much effort. Um, Fang Xun?!"

Suddenly, his face hardened and his eyes became cold.

In a flash, he and Old Man Mo disappeared from the study at the same time, and reappeared in the villa, looking towards the main courtyard a few miles away.

Then, a red sword light appeared from the horizon, stirring up a frenzy of wind and snow, and rushed towards the main gate of the government office at lightning speed!
There was no sign before the sword light appeared, but after it appeared, it was filled with murderous intent, shocking everything.

Even Wan Zhenhai, the Grandmaster of Yangshen, had no sense of what was happening, let alone the guards at the sentries in the courtyard!

boom--

Before the sword arrived, the main gate of the mansion was shattered into pieces by the sword energy that rolled in like the Milky Way in the sky, revealing the pale and terrified face of Wan Zhaohua inside!

His mind seemed to be captured by the murderous aura, and he stood there in fear, motionless.

Wan Zhaohua didn't move, but Wan Zhenhai reacted and subconsciously wanted to take action.

But he seemed to have noticed something, his face became gloomy again, but he had no intention of taking action again.

The next moment, another figure was seen breaking through the air from outside the courtyard and standing at the gate of the mansion. It was Mr. Zhengde, the president of Jiangnan Academy.

As soon as Mr. Zhengde appeared, the Confucian spirit filled the world.

All the guards in the courtyard seemed to hear the sound of reading aloud, and they felt their minds bursting with inspiration, as if they were instantly filled with wisdom. "Unlucky, I'm leaving first!"

Another loud shout was heard, and the sword light, which was so fast that it was tied into a silk thread, suddenly turned and rushed straight into the sky.

-

Accompanied by the cry of an eagle, a red light fell on the back of a giant eagle, which spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

"Want to run?!"

Mr. Zhengde's face was as furious as thunder, his voice as sharp as thunderbolt, and after a loud roar, he broke through the air and chased after him.

The whole process takes less than one tenth of a breath.

Inside the main residence, Wan Zhaohua's face turned pale as he collapsed to the ground as if he was frightened.

"There is an assassin, protect the prince!"

At this time, the guards in the courtyard reacted as if they had just woken up from a dream. They rushed into the room while shouting and surrounded Wan Zhaohua in the center.

Wan Zhenhai, who had watched the whole process, had a blank expression on his face. He looked at Old Man Mo, whose face looked extremely ugly.

"Brother Mo, this really broadened my horizons. Is this how Fang Xun found evidence?
Or is this how all six doors handle cases?
The palace is an important place, you can come and go as you please, what do they think of this place? A toilet!"

As he spoke, Wan Zhenhai's tone became more and more stern. Old Man Mo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wan Zhenhai with a wave of his hand.

"Tell Fang Xun when you go back, and make sure not a single word is left out!
I will just pretend I didn’t see it this time, but at the grand ceremony five days later, even if he spends a lot of money to hire a Yangshen Realm assassin from Wujiantang, he won’t succeed!”

Old Man Mo's face looked extremely ugly. He said nothing more and flew away silently.

After Old Man Mo left, Wan Zhenhai's face suddenly became gloomy. He flew around and arrived at the main courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Then he saw Wan Zhaohua trembling in the air, surrounded by a group of guards. Outside, there were two masters who were guests of the royal palace, looking around vigilantly.

After seeing Wan Zhenhai, the two hurriedly called out respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Wan Zhenhai's face turned ashen and he shouted at Wan Zhaohua.

"Are you, the King of Yue, such a disgraceful thing?!"

His voice was filled with disappointment. Wan Zhaohua's performance just now was really too disappointing.

After hearing this, Wan Zhaohua lowered his head in shame, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Uncle, I..."

Wan Zhenhai only felt that the difficulty of reviving his spiritual power and breaking through the realm had been greatly reduced, but it also directly lowered the lower limit of the divine realm.

Which of the Yin Shen masters before their spiritual inspiration was revived did not achieve their achievements after going through countless trials and tribulations?

Even when faced with extreme adversity, one can calmly look for opportunities, wait for them, and even defeat an enemy that is much stronger than oneself.

Although Fang Xun upgraded rapidly, he also fought with many powerful opponents of the same level in the martial arts hall.

He would never be like Wan Zhaohua just now, who was so frightened that he dared not move when faced with a murderous thundering attack from a master of the same level.

"After all, he is a master who relied on external things to achieve his success. His foundation is weak and he lacks experience."

Originally, Wan Zhenhai had just had a conversation with Old Man Mo. After hearing the other party say that Wan Zhaohua practiced the evil skill of the Forget Love Dao, he was already 80% convinced.

But after seeing Wan Zhaohua's performance just now, the suspicion dropped directly from 80% to 30%. This 30% still shows the suspicion that Wan Zhaohua's performance just now was all a disguise.

After scolding, Wan Zhenhai left with a sullen face, leaving the guards and guests looking at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say.

Wan Zhaohua looked extremely ugly after being scolded, but in the end he sighed dejectedly.

A quarter of an hour later, under the night sky, another sound of breaking air was heard coming from far away.

Mr. Zhengde's face turned pale. Fang Xun flew high into the sky on the Iron-winged Cloud Eagle. Even though he was a great master of Yangshen, he couldn't fly. He could only watch the other party run away.

Just as he was about to return to the palace to check on Wan Zhaohua's condition, a loud shout suddenly came from inside the palace.

"Wang Zhengde, get out of here!"

Wan Zhenhai's loud shout was heard throughout half of Jianye City.

One warrior after another looked surprised and looked towards the palace unconsciously.

I was wondering what had just happened that made Wan Zhenhai tell Wang Zhengde to get lost?

Wang Zhengde suddenly stopped outside the mansion and his expression became even uglier.
