Chapter 1290: Chapter 359: Can Four Top-level Peak Experts Break the Temple? Black Sumeru Pure Glazed Three Bodies Divine Tribulation [Monthly Ticket Request]
Ji Qingchuan kept complaining, taking the initiative to distance himself.
The Third Prince, after all, carries the bloodline of the Ji Family. If possible, Ji Qingchuan would naturally support the Third Prince, who holds the best and most hopeful prospects.
“Family Head, rest assured… This Palace trusts the Ji Family.”
The Third Prince’s face showed a sorrowful expression.
“I carry the Ji Family’s bloodline within me; my relationship with the Ji Family is one of genuine kinship. The Ji Family is my perpetual backing…”
“I personally went to seek an audience with the Great Supervising Minister to find out who exactly killed my Noble Consort mother… I even personally took out the Heavenly Order!”
The Third Prince stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the garden made exceedingly wet by the Spring Rain, which was filled with poetic charm.
He slowly exhaled a breath.
Ji Qingchuan was shocked at heart, suddenly looking toward the Third Prince: “Heavenly Order?”
“The Heavenly Order given by the Chief Supervisor to each prince upon their first birthday?”
As the Patriarch of the Ji Family, how could Ji Qingchuan not understand the importance of the Heavenly Order?
It was an opportunity that could prompt the Chief Supervisor to deduce calculations.
Even for a family head of an Ancient Family like them, it was impossible to invite the Chief Supervisor to take action without their willingness.
And if a prince used the Heavenly Order, it meant consuming the cause-effect relationship and favors with the Chief Supervisor.
“Yes… how can I endure the fact that my Noble Consort mother died unjustly?”
“The Noble Consort mother gave birth to me, has given me blood and flesh; how can I stand by and watch her die with grievances!”
Third Prince Lv Litong said in a deep voice.
Ji Qingchuan’s heart slightly warmed. He knew that the Third Prince bringing out the Heavenly Order to invite the Chief Supervisor had the dual purpose of projecting a filial image and of easing the relationship with the Ji Family.
After all, once the real culprit was identified, revealing no connection between the killer of Noble Princess Consort Ji and the Ji Family, it would clear the Ji Family’s suspicion, allowing the Third Prince to safely rely on the Ji Family’s strength and gain their support.
The support of a great Ancient Family—how could the Third Prince pass up or abandon it?
“Your Highness… do you know who killed the Noble Consort? Was it Ji Moli?”
Ji Qingchuan clasped his fists and bowed, asking solemnly.
He was too eager to know the outcome.
Ji Moli was the last person to see Noble Princess Consort Ji and traces of his most adept Divine Seed Martial Arts, Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Gods, were left at the scene.
Therefore, Ji Qingchuan really wanted to know if it was Ji Moli’s doing.
“No!”
“It has nothing to do with King Ping Luan!” Lv Litong shook his head.
“The result deduced by the Great Supervising Minister…”
“The one who killed the Noble Consort mother… was the Netherworld Ox Demon!”
The Third Prince looked at Ji Qingchuan and asked in a deep voice.
“Underworld? Ox Demon?”
Ji Qingchuan was stunned, an expression of bewilderment appearing on his face.
Why would Noble Princess Consort Ji be killed by the Underworld?
The Third Prince described to Ji Qingchuan the intelligence he collected, along with the process and results of his deductions.
After hearing it all, Ji Qingchuan’s expression grew increasingly grim!
“Is Your Highness saying… that the Great Elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, who just passed the Special Class Guest Minister exam at Qintian Observatory, Li Half-Saint, might be the Ox Demon? The true culprit behind Noble Princess Consort Ji’s murder?!”
A peculiar shade flitted across Ji Qingchuan’s eyes.
“Is it because… Noble Princess Consort Ji brought Lu Chi, wanting Li Che’s daughter to be engaged to Lu Chi, that Li Che turned into the Ox Demon and, using the power of the Underworld, killed Noble Princess Consort Ji?”
“How could there be such a cruel and vicious person in this world!”
Ji Qingchuan said solemnly.
“If Your Highness is indeed certain that Li Che is the Ox Demon, then my Ji Family, even if it risks disgrace and offending Qintian Observatory and Qian Yuan Divine Sect, will seek justice for the Noble Consort!”
Ji Qingchuan clenched his fists, brimming with murderous intent.
The Third Prince slowly sat on a carved stone chair. Under the service of the graceful tea master of the Ji Family, he took a sip of warm, cold-dispelling hot tea.
“It can be confirmed shortly.”
“This Palace has sent Han Diao Temple with the divine seal deduced by the Great Supervising Minister to verify.”
“The Ox Demon carries the Heavenly Mechanism Dao Essence deduced and calculated by the Chief Supervisor. Once it meets the divine seal deduced by the Chief Supervisor, there will be a sensation of attraction.”
The Third Prince was very confident; he had great faith in his deduction.
Having Han Sixi check was merely to confirm his deduction.
Suddenly.
It was as if a black shadow quickly surged from outside the garden.
Gradually, it inclined under the dim light before the Third Prince.
From that foundation, a figure slowly twisted and grew forth.
It was none other than Diao Temple’s Han Sixi!
Sitting at the Absolute Top of the fifteenth rank at the Heavenly Gate!
“Diao Temple, you’re back!”
The Third Prince’s face immediately blossomed into a bright smile.
Ji Qingchuan’s gaze also fell upon this renowned Purple-clothed Monk of the Imperial Palace, Han Sixi.
To be ranked fifteenth at the Heavenly Gate through the Chief Supervisor’s deductions surely did not belong to a weakling.
Such a figure, Ji Qingchuan dared not neglect.
Slowly—
The black shadow dispersed, coalescing into the appearance of Han Sixi, who had meticulously combed hair, although aged, stood with a straight back, full of vigor.
As Han Sixi appeared, with head bowed, four divine seals deduced by the Great Supervising Minister emerged between his five fingers.
“Diao Temple, is that Li Che… the Ox Demon?”
The Third Prince’s gaze was bright and intense.
He greatly trusted his judgment!
Various traces indicated that the probability of this Li Che being the Ox Demon was as high as ninety percent.
However…
Han Sixi raised his head, a complex expression flashing through his eyes, clasped his hands in a fist and shook his head: “Your Highness…”
“I personally infiltrated within a hundred feet outside the Qianyuan Institute, personally triggered the divine seal, lingered for about thirty breaths, and upon being discovered by Lv Taibai, immediately retreated…”
