The fifth elder did not answer everyone's words, but asked: "Don't you think we are missing someone recently?"
"Who is missing?"
"Oh, it's true! Where did the fourth child go?"
"Yes, where is the fourth child? He has not participated in the siege battles in the past few days. I thought he went to do other things. What? I heard what you said, and you didn't send him to deal with the ferocious beasts?"
"No, I thought he was attacking the city with you."
"This fourth child is really lazy. If he hadn't been hiding at the critical moment, we might have captured Beiliang Kingdom by now."
"It's just that it's too much. I must report it to Your Excellency."
"This damn old man used to rely on his high status to ignore us. This time he dares not to take your Majesty's orders seriously. I want him to look good!"
"..."
For a while.
Everyone began to denounce the fourth elder. It seemed that they did this because the fourth elder did not respect their superior, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that they just wanted to vent their frustration and anger after failing to attack the city in the past few days.
Just find someone to take the blame for failure.
If the fourth elder knew something about it, he would probably be very angry...
The fifth elder sat aside with a satisfied smile on his face. He did not want to bear the anger of his superior after the siege failed, so the blame could only be placed on the fourth elder.
Although this is very unethical, but what is morality? Are there any people in their organization?
The only thing to blame is the Fourth Elder's misfortune. Who told him not to be here these days...
Just thinking about it.
Sudden.
A terrifying coercion descended from the void, and the people who were originally talking loudly seemed to have been cast a silencing spell, and their voices immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The fifth elder was the first to react and quickly fell to his knees.
: "Welcome to you, Your Majesty."
Others quickly followed, kneeling on the ground as well, shouting into the void: "Welcome Your Majesty!"
The next moment.
A figure shrouded in black robes appeared in the void out of thin air. It was really the Qinglian Immortal Lord.
He did not ask anyone to get up, but stared at them coldly for a long time. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, thinking that some of his illegal actions had been discovered by the Supreme Being and they were about to be punished. Only then did the Qinglian Immortal Supreme
He looked away and said coldly: "The fourth child is dead!"
As soon as these four short words appeared, it was like a pebble thrown into the originally calm lake. The crowd immediately exploded, and they started talking loudly without even caring that Your Majesty was still around.
"What? Did I hear correctly?"
"The fourth elder is dead?"
"He is a strong man in the late stage of Wanfa Realm. Who can kill him?"
"I remember that the fourth elder had many means of saving his life. Why did he die suddenly? Could it be that the person who killed him was far stronger than him?"
"His~ It's stronger than the late stage of the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm. Then it's not just the peak of the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm, or the true Ten Thousand Dharma Realm, the Shadow Monarch..."
"Impossible! There are very few people in the entire dark realm whose strength is above the late stage of Ten Thousand Laws Realm, and we all know these people. They are either our own people, or they are in seclusion to attack a higher realm, or they are...
If you are fighting against us, you have no chance of killing the fourth child."
"Then how did the fourth child die? Could it be that he went crazy while practicing martial arts?"
"..."
The fifth elder did not join the discussion, but asked Qinglian Immortal Lord: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how did the fourth child die?"
"I don't know, go check it out.
"
Qinglian Immortal Lord ordered coldly.
If he knew who killed the Fourth Elder, he would have gone to settle the score with that person long ago. Would he still stay here?
Although he didn't think much of the fourth elder, the other party was highly cultivated and a good blood supply bag, but now he was killed, which made him very angry.
then.
After giving instructions to his subordinates, he stopped staying and flew towards the South Anhui Kingdom, preparing to discuss future cooperation matters with the King of the South Anhui Kingdom.
ground.
After discovering that the pressure above their heads disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, their faces turned ugly again.
"Your Majesty asked us to investigate the cause of the Fourth Elder. We don't even know who did it. How can we investigate?"
"That's right! This damn old man deserved to be killed for leaving the team without authorization. But in the end he ended up dragging us down. He deserves it."
"Your Majesty seems to be very angry this time. If we fail to complete the mission assigned by Your Majesty, we may end up in a very miserable situation."
"Damn it! It's all the fourth elder's fault!"
"..."
For a while.
Everyone was very angry and fearful.
At this time.
Seeing that the fifth elder looked as usual, the eighth elder was a little curious and hurriedly asked: "Fifth elder, do you have any clues?"
"When was the last time you saw the Fourth Elder?"
The fifth elder asked.
"It seems that it was the afternoon seven days ago. At that time, he was almost scratched by a ferocious beast, but I helped him kill the ferocious beast."
"No, he asked me for healing elixirs five days ago."
"Yes, yes, I saw him five days ago."
"Four days ago, in the middle of the night, I seemed to see him going to the South Anhui Kingdom."
"Ah! I also remembered it. He also told me that he was going to the place where the army was stationed in Nanwan to discuss things, but he didn't tell me what exactly he was discussing."
"..."
at last.
Everyone unanimously fixed the time on the night four days ago. After that, no one saw the fourth elder again.
"Southern Anhui Military Camp?"
The fifth elder frowned.
The eighth elder looked suspicious: "Lao Wu, you don't think it was someone from Nanwan who killed Lao Si? As far as I know, the elder who led Nanwan this time is their thirteenth elder, and he is far more powerful.
If he is lower than Lao Si, it is impossible to kill him."
In response to these words, someone immediately raised objections: "Under normal circumstances, it can't be killed, but what if medicine is used?"
"You mean, they first used Qi Jue Sect's poison to knock down the fourth child, and then..."
The person who spoke raised his hand and made something to wipe his neck.
"That's for sure!"
"Yes, only in this way can they kill the fourth child."
"..."
Everyone was intensely discussing the possibility of the fourth elder being poisoned.
The Eighth Elder frowned more and more as he listened: "How can you be so sure that it was someone from Nanwan who killed the fourth child? Don't forget, they are in alliance with our organization now. Killing the fourth child at this time is not a good idea.
What’s in it for them?”
"Then who knows."
"Perhaps there was a conflict between the Thirteenth Elder and the Fourth Elder of Nanwan Kingdom, and they impulsively killed someone."
"It's not impossible. The fourth child has a lot of treasures on his body. What if the other party wants to kill people and seize the treasures."
"I think this must have been done by people from Nanwan. They knew we wouldn't suspect him, so they did it."
