Chapter 408: Something’s Wrong…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Zhengting had already sent an army to camp outside the Boundary Mountain.
It was to prevent the evil clans outside the territory from suddenly launching an attack. They would cross the Boundary Mountain and launch an all-out attack on the boundless territory!
Mu Zhengting’s expression was extremely ugly after hearing that.
It was definitely not the evil clans outside the territory according to the information.
If the evil races crossed the Boundary Mountain…
It was impossible for the array formation set up in the Boundary Mountain to not react!
Whether it was destroyed or forcefully crossed over, Mu Zhengting would be the first to know!
Since that was the case…
Who did it?
Someone on the inside?
Mu Zhengting’s expression was extremely solemn.
In other words, someone in the Boundless World was colluding with the evil clans outside the territory.
Or he wanted to suddenly attack at such a critical moment when the internal forces of the royal family were scattered!
There was such a motive.
Moreover, there was only one person whose recent actions had attracted Mu Zhengting’s attention.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhengting said, “Pass the message to Prince Lin Long!”
The minister looked at each other and immediately agreed.
Not long after, Prince Lin Long wore a purple-gold python robe and walked slowly into the hall.
The purple-gold python robe was given to him by the late king.
In recognition of Prince Lin Long’s abundant contributions to the Boundless Empire!
Prince Lin Long walked in front of Mu Zhengting and knelt down. He buried his head in the ground and said loudly, “Greetings, Your Highness!”
From the looks of it now, there was no problem with Prince Lin Long’s loyalty.
Furthermore, the imperial gift of the purple-gold python robe had the privilege of meeting the emperor and not having to kneel down.
However, Prince Lin Long was still kneeling to show his loyalty!
Because of this, the more suspicious Mu Zhengting was!
Prince Lin Long was extremely ambitious and arrogant.
This was how it was done.
This made Mu Zhengting even more suspicious.
However, Mu Zhengting did not show it directly. Instead, he stood up with a smile and walked to Prince Lin Long. He reached out his hands to help him up.
“I wonder how the Prince is doing?”
Prince Lin Long stood up and said with a smile, “As long as the dynasty is safe, I will be at ease.”
“Of course.”
Mu Zhengting nodded. “Then I’m relieved. After all, the prince is a great contributor to the dynasty. In the future, there will be a series of things that the prince needs to worry about. You must take care of your body!”
Prince Lin Long knelt down again!
“I will definitely not let you down! 1 will do anything for the dynasty!”
His tone was as sincere as it could be.
Those who didn’t know better would think that Prince Lin Long was really a model loyal subject.
“However, 1 don’t think the emperor asked me to come here for this matter, right?”
As Prince Lin Long watched Mu Zhengting return to the throne, a hint of greed flashed across his eyes.
Mu Zhengting sat down and said, “The army stationed outside the Boundary Mountain was ambushed by a mysterious person. 1 wonder if the Prince knows about this?”
‘Are you suspecting me?’
This was what Prince Lin Long thought after hearing this.
However, he was already prepared.
He had already expected that the emperor would suspect him after all.
Prince Lin Long pretended to be surprised and his eyes were filled with anger.
He shouted, “Who dares to do such a thing!”
Mu Zhengting stared at Prince Lin Long and shook his head. “I don’t know. No one saw that person’s face clearly. Even the aura and cultivation technique he used were unheard of.”
“What’s your motive for attacking at such a critical juncture?!” Prince Lin Long’s eyes were filled with anger as he reprimanded loudly. “Could it be that a sect in our realm is colluding with the evil clans outside the territory?”
Mu Zhengting nodded and said, “1 have the same worry.”
Prince Lin Long cupped his fists and said, “Please send me there, Your Majesty! 1’11 definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and find the culprit!”
During this period, Mu Zhengting kept staring into Prince Lin Long’s eyes.
After hearing this, he shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. Prince Lin Long still has a lot of work to do. I’ll send someone else to investigate.”
“In that case, I’ll wait for your good news.”
Mu Zhengting waved his hand and said, “Send the prince back to the residence.”
Prince Lin Long cupped his hands and said, “1’11 take my leave!”
After Prince Lin Long left, Mu Zhengting sat on the throne, thinking about something.
“It doesn’t look like a problem.”
Behind the throne, a black-robed figure appeared.
Mu Zhengting was not surprised by this. Instead, he replied with a faint gaze, “It’s precisely because there’s no problem that the biggest problem is.”
The black-robed man was slightly surprised. “Oh? You mean he went too far?”
Mu Zhengting nodded and said, “That’s right. Next, I’ll have to ask you to monitor his subsequent actions.”
The black-robed man nodded and disappeared on the spot.
Mu Zhengting raised his head and looked at the sky. He sighed slowly. “In the current situation, internal strife can’t happen anymore. If there is, we have to resolve it quickly at all costs!”
On the other side, Prince Lin Long had already returned to the prince’s residence.
His expression was solemn as he immediately found a few personal guards.
“Go to the Boundary Mountain immediately and investigate who attacked the army of the Boundary Mountain!”
The personal guards were stunned.
Seeing this, Prince Lin Long explained the cause of the matter.
“I can’t take the blame, especially under such circumstances!”
The personal guards looked at each other and immediately nodded!
They all knew what the Prince was planning.
Indeed, under such circumstances, he could not expose himself in advance and take the blame for no reason!
Once it was confirmed, it was Prince Lin Long’s doing.
It might be destroyed in one day, or even lose his life!
Sometimes, there was no need for evidence. One only needed some clues to guess that it was Prince Lin Long’s doing.
The dynasty was already suspecting Prince Lin Long!
Therefore, they had to find out who the mastermind was!
The handsome man suddenly appeared in front of Prince Lin Long after the guards left.
“Did you do it?” Prince Lin Long stared at the handsome man.
The handsome man shook his head.
Seeing this, Prince Lin Long did not suspect anything.
With this man’s strength, there was really no need to hide this matter after all. “I need to think about this.” With that, Prince Lin Long walked into the room. The handsome man stood where he was, deep in thought.
He felt that something was wrong with this matter!
On the other side, Ye Qiubai and the others had already entered the lower three levels!
In the lower three levels, the scene was completely different!
In front of their eyes was the Blood Plains!
In the distance, in the thick fog, there was a faintly discernible black hall!
There was nothing else other than that!
In the sky, there were the auras of dozens of Dao Convergence Realm!
Among them were the experts of the evil clans outside the territory and the sects of the Boundless World
The two sides were confronting each other!
