Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The royal family and the Five Families and Seven Sects, as the top forces in the entire Chu State, are more or less taboo in both the Dark World and the Zhaoxing Division.

The secret agents of the Zhaoxing Division are all over the Demon Realm, claiming to be pervasive.

But they did not dare to reach out to the royal family.

If the Zhaoxing Division monitors even the royal family, wouldn't that be tantamount to treason?

Unless the Zhaoxing Division received a secret order from Emperor Chu to let them build the royal family, otherwise, they would never dare to extend their hands into the royal family.

Zhao Xingsi still has the support of Emperor Chu, but there is no one behind the Dark World who can support him.

Therefore, the Dark World rarely extends its hands to the royal family and the five families and seven sects.

Just now.

After Qiao Mo and Qin Yao finished talking about the news they brought back from the dark world, they were all useless news.

Although the dark world gave out a lot of information, it actually did not help at all in finding the deceased.

But for Lin Bai, useless news is the best news.

Because at this moment, Lin Bai finally determined the location of the posthumous son, either within the royal family, or within the five families and seven sects.

Qin Yao suddenly realized and asked in shock: "So you asked us to go to the dark world to explore information, and you didn't even intend for us to bring back useful information? You actually just wanted to make sure that we couldn't find it in the dark world. If they can't find the deceased child, then you can roughly determine the location of the deceased child?"

"Senior Brother Shengzi, it's so hard for you to hide this from us."

"We were worried just now because we didn't get any useful information, but we didn't expect that Senior Brother Shengzi had other plans."

Qin Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but deep down she admired Lin Bai very much.

The pond in the Imperial Capital is so deep that no idle warrior can stir up trouble in it.

In such a complicated imperial capital, trying to find a posthumous son who was carefully hidden is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As the Dark World said, there are currently four groups of people looking for the deceased.

Apparently none of them had any clues.

But within a few days of arriving in the imperial capital, Lin Bai initially deduced the whereabouts of the posthumous son.

Qiao Mo asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Shengzi means...that this posthumous son was hidden by the third prince in the royal family or within the five families and seven sects? But where exactly is he?"

Lin Bai whispered: "The five major families in the imperial capital are the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Qian family, the Sun family, and the Li family."

"There is some hostility between the Chen family and the third prince. Naturally, it is impossible for the third prince to leave his posthumous son in the Chen family."

"The Qian family is a business family. As long as the third prince is willing to pay, the Qian family is willing to take in the posthumous son. But similarly, if other people also provide money, the Qian family will also hand over the posthumous son. go out."

"So the probability of the Qian family is not high."

"The remaining three major families, the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Li family, are already openly loyal to the third prince. It is very likely that the third prince will place his posthumous son among these three major families."

"..."

"Seven major sects, Danxia Sect, Tianshui Sect, Tiandimen, Wentian Sect, Shenglian Palace, Tianxian Sect, and Kuchan Temple."

"The Heaven and Earth Sect is already a sect that openly submits to the Third Prince, but the Heaven and Earth Sect has just experienced a disastrous defeat and is too busy to take care of itself. The Third Prince probably won't leave his posthumous son in the Heaven and Earth Sect."

"The Wentian Sect is most likely a force within the Third Prince's camp, but it has not surfaced yet. The Third Prince may place his posthumous son in the Wentian Sect."

"The Holy Lotus Palace, Danxia Sect, and Tianxian Sect have ambiguous attitudes and are wandering around the Third Prince and His Highness Prince Chen. The Third Prince will not trust them to hand over his posthumous son."

"Kuchan Temple is a Buddhist sect that doesn't want to join the world, and it's even more impossible to accommodate the posthumous child."

"..."

Lin Bai slowly analyzed the current situation.

Qin Yao said: "In this case, this posthumous son was most likely placed by the third prince into the royal family, Wentian Sect, Zhao family, Sun family, and Li family."

"Although the general direction has been determined, it is still very difficult to investigate."

Lin Bai smiled softly: "At least we have determined the general direction. The subsequent investigation will be much easier. At least there is no need to spend a lot of time looking for a needle in a haystack like before."

Just as Lin Bai and others were discussing.

The magic circle at the door was touched.

It seems like someone wants to break into it.

Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others immediately cheered up.

"who?"

Lin Bai roared in a low voice and looked out the door.

This place is the palace of Tianshui Sect. Who would trespass here?

"Yo? There is also a magic circle..." A man's voice came from outside the door, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin, Mr. Chu is here to visit."

Qiao Mo said, "It's His Royal Highness King Chen."

Lin Bai hurriedly opened the magic circle and saw His Highness King Chen standing outside the door with Li Guxian and He Qiyun.

"I've met His Highness." Lin Bai said angrily: "Why didn't any of the maids in the palace come to notify His Highness of his arrival?"

His Highness King Chen smiled and said: "I thought Brother Lin was still resting, so I asked them not to make any noise. So I came over by myself, and I didn't expect to be blocked by this magic circle."

Lin Bai smiled slightly and invited His Highness Prince Chen to come in.

Instruct the maid to prepare tea.

After His Highness King Chen sat down, he asked Lin Bai: "I heard that you took action in Nancheng today? Zhaoxing Secretary Zhu Mo came to tell me, so I came to ask if you were injured. At the same time, I am also very curious. What is the reason why you want to take action in the imperial capital?"

Emperor Chu's birthday is approaching, and the most important thing in the imperial capital is safety.

His Royal Highness King Chen is now responsible for the security of the Imperial Capital, and naturally he does not want to see chaos in the Imperial Capital.

Lin Bai was about to speak but stopped, with a troubled look on his face.

Lin Bai didn't want to tell anyone about today's conversation with Ren Xin yet.

The fewer people who know about this matter, the smoother the subsequent investigation of Lin Bai will be.

If this matter is completed and it is confirmed that the third prince is inseparable from the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, then the Holy Lotus Palace and the Chen family can be drawn into the camp of His Highness Prince Chen.

After the birthday of Emperor Chu, if chaos breaks out in the imperial capital, His Highness King Chen will not be left alone.

Hesitated again and again.

Lin Bai decided to conceal the matter first.

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just met a thief on the street and wanted to steal my storage bag, which resulted in some trouble."

"That's it." His Highness King Chen smiled slightly, took out a token from the storage bag, handed it to Lin Bai, and said, "This is the sword wielding token of Zhaoxing Division. Emperor Chu has agreed to let you become the sword wielding token." Well, if you hold this token, it will be much easier to act in the Imperial Capital in the future. Even if you do something in the Imperial Capital in the future, the Zhaoxing Division will not dare to embarrass you."

Lin Bai took the token with both hands, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

His Highness King Chen said: "Emperor Chu's birthday is approaching, and I am busy with trivial matters. I hope I won't delay the things I entrust you with."

What His Highness King Chen is talking about is searching for the posthumous child.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I already have some clues."
