Chapter 415: Lin Long’s Betrayal!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Why was it too much of a coincidence?
Time went back to 15 minutes ago.
At that time, the Cloud Prince was discussing the mastermind with a group of Dao Convergence Realm experts and Dong Xiaoqin.
At that time, someone sent an urgent report.
It was said that the murderer had appeared and had already killed all the patrolling teams outside Boundary Mountain!
When everyone arrived at the scene of the incident, they discovered the armored man who was “on the verge of death”, as well as the furious Black Scale King and the few black-robed men behind him.
Wasn’t this a coincidence?
There’s more, even if the Black Scale King and the others attacked, previously, nothing happened when he killed tens of thousands of soldiers.
He had even erased all traces!
They had only killed a patrol team of dozens of people.
Moreover, the strength of the patrol team was generally lower than the people stationed in the army yet they were discovered and reported!
Moreover, why did the Black Scale King have to do it himself at the risk of exposing himself?
Shouldn’t he secretly ask the expert for help? That would be safer.
This conspiracy was too deliberate!
However, Dong Xiaoqin did not say anything. She was probably the calmest person present.
The Cloud Prince didn’t seem right, as if he had already known about this matter.
Otherwise, with the Cloud Prince’s vision and intelligence, it was impossible for him not to notice these suspicious points.
At the same time, the other Dao Convergence Realm elites were already seething with rage.
They were being forcibly investigated by the Black Scale King a few days ago and they had just found out that the real culprit was the Black Scale King after all!
How could Dao Convergence Realm experts like them possibly accept such grievances?
Under the brainwashing of his anger, he naturally wouldn’t think about so many details.
The Cloud Prince continued, “Who instructed you to do this?!”
After saying this, the Cloud Prince seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed and he said loudly, “Could it be Prince Lin Long?”
The Black Scale King was a subordinate of Prince Lin Long.
The Cloud Prince was one of the few people in the imperial court who knew about this.
The Black Scale King looked at the Cloud Prince, pointed at him, and laughed. “Cloud Prince, I finally understand your intentions.”
“Mu Zhengting and you don’t have any evidence, so you want to pull Prince Lin Long down?”
“However, 1 really admire Mu Zhengting’s boldness. He can actually do such a thing!”
The Cloud Prince’s face was filled with anger as he shouted, “Black Scale King, don’t distort the truth here! Now, seeing is believing. If you have anything else to say, say it in front of the Emperor!”
Liu Ziru disappeared on the spot as soon as he finished speaking.
Several Dao Convergence Realm cultivators attacked in anger at the same time!
Capture the Black Scale King and the black-robed men!
If not for the Cloud Prince wanting to obtain it, these Dao Convergence Realm experts had probably already scattered the Black Scale King’s divine soul.
When have they ever suffered such grievances during their long life!?
After being captured, the Black Scale King still laughed crazily. “Mu Zhengting, that old man! Old man!”
Dong Xiaoqin was looking at the scene after the Black Scale King was taken away.
However, she realized that the armored man had already disappeared.
Dong Xiaoqin’s lips curled up slightly as she said in a low voice, “He’s really hiding his strength. Mu Zhengting, who’s called the benevolent master…”
A few days later, the Black Scale King was brought back to the empire.
In the prison, the Black Scale King looked at Mu Zhengting who was walking over and the Cloud Prince behind him. He sneered and said, “What do you want to ask?”
Mu Zhengting said coldly, “1 won’t ask anything. Of course, even if I ask, you won’t answer, right?”
Hearing Mu Zhengting’s words, the Black Scale King was slightly stunned.
“No questions?”
“Why do you ask?”
Hearing this, the Black Scale King seemed to have thought of something and his eyes were filled with fear.
His face was ashen.
Right, it was no longer important to ask anything now.
Mu Zhengting directed and acted in this scene himself.
It broke the image of a benevolent ruler.
He secretly sent people to kill the tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there!
It was to lure them out.
He forcefully placed the blame on Prince Lin Long!
Mu Zhengting had long realized that Prince Lin Long had the intention to rebel after all.
At the same time, he was already doing it, but he could not find any evidence.
That was how today’s scene happened!
Since he could perform this scene, that meant that even if he said that it was not Prince Lin Long’s doing, it would also be rumored that this was Prince Lin Long’s scheme in the outside world!
So, did he say it or did Mu Zhengting ask?
What was the point?
Mu Zhengting said, “When you and Prince Lin Long have such thoughts and take action, you should have thought of this outcome.”
“Don’t have any hope that I’ll let you off either.”
“That’s impossible. At the same time, I’ll execute all your blood relatives!”
The royal family was heartless.
Actually, it was also to eliminate the root of the problem!
The Black Scale King lowered his head and remained silent.
Of course, he had thought of such a thing.
However, it was really ridiculous to end up like this…
Mu Zhengting glanced at the Black Scale King and turned to leave.
Just as Mu Zhengting and the Cloud Prince were about to step out of the prison…
The Black Scale King behind him was powerless to speak.
“Let go of my family and I’ll tell you everything that Prince Lin Long has planned…”
Mu Zhengting and Prince Yun looked at each other and smiled.
There was a glint in their eyes as if their scheme had succeeded.
Even though the outcome of this matter would not change even without the Black Scale King’s testimony, it was still extremely useful with the Black Scale King’s testimony.
This could stop the mouths of the people in the court after all.
In case some people wanted to sow discord between the ministers and the emperor.
When the Black Scale King pointed out that Prince Lin Long had been found out by everyone in the dynasty,
Mu Zhengting immediately sent out the imperial guards to surround Prince Lin Long’s residence!
The buildings were emptied out and there was no one left in Prince Lin Long’s residence!
The Cloud Prince also reported this matter to Mu Zhengting.
Mu Zhengting’s expression did not change.
“He ran quite fast, but it doesn’t change much.”
“Prince Lin Long’s escape confirmed the Black Scale King’s testimony after all.”
“From then on, he completely overthrew Prince Lin Long’s power in the dynasty.”
The Cloud Prince nodded with a smile. He was naturally the one who knew about this plan.
The confrontation with the Black Scale King was naturally an act.
Otherwise, with his intelligence, how could he not notice that something was wrong at the scene?
“Next, we have to search for Prince Lin Long with all our might.”
“I’ll get right on it.”
At the same time, in the Wilderness Region.
In the Southern Region Cottage.
Ning Cherrxin, Hong Ying, and Mu Wan’er returned to the Cottage.
Hong Ying smiled and said to Lu Changsheng, “Master, we’ve already made arrangements for the Heavenly Spirit Realm. It’s time to find Big Senior Brother and the others.”
Lu Changsheng:”…”
Can the master-disciple relationship be terminated now?
It is quite vexing to keep waiting!
