Ximenyu succeeded in the attack and fled quickly, killing the beloved son of King Pingyang and the monarch's nephew. If he was caught by those immortal followers who went back and returned, they would die without a complete body.
Soon the four immortals returned without success, because General Zhang Tian was able to escape successfully despite the combined efforts of the four immortals, let alone being able to catch up with them when they followed him. His strength was far beyond theirs.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly felt terrified, fearing that King Pingyang would blame them and they could not afford it.
But what made them completely devastated was that when they returned to Danxiang City, they found that the young prince was... actually dead, and he looked miserable. They were so mad that they couldn't imagine what would happen if the prince knew this bad news.
What will happen? The anger of losing their beloved son is not something they can bear.
But the most important thing at the moment is how to explain and explain to the prince. Escape is definitely not possible. What will happen to your family after escaping? Since you can't escape, how should you deal with such a difficult problem? The four immortals were very anxious and discussed it.
In the end, they decided to unify their narrative and pin the charge on General Zhang Tian, saying that the young prince insulted General Zhang Tian when he asked for the elixir. Zhang Tianji held a grudge and planned an escape after being defeated in a battle with the Four Immortals.
, when they went to chase him later, they turned back and killed the young prince quietly, which was more logical. When the time comes, they will ask the prince to convict him, and the law will not punish everyone. At most, they can only punish them for their incompetence.
Protect the young prince's dereliction of duty, so that the prince's thunderous wrath can be successfully passed on to Zhang Tian.
While they were struggling to figure out how to deal with King Pingyang's anger, Ximen Yu had returned to the inn and hurriedly drank the first-grade elixir, expecting its miraculous effects.
"The first-grade elixir is mainly suitable for those in the first-level immortal realm. I am only in the micro-immortal realm. Isn't it a bit wasteful? Hehe, leave it alone, take it first. If you don't eat it, keeping it around will be a disaster. I guess this
Once I take the elixir, no matter what, I can break through to the late stage of micro-immortal, and it is not impossible to even reach the early stage of immortal, haha." Ximenyu thought to himself.
"Huh? Why does it feel that the taste is similar to that of ordinary Chinese herbal medicine? The elixir shouldn't be so common, could it be fake?" Ximenyu suddenly thought of this possibility, so he quickly felt the immortal energy in his body, and found that there was no change at all.
, now it was concluded that this elixir was indeed fake.
"It seems that that bastard General Zhang Tian is really scheming. He even dared to deceive people from Pingyang Prince's Palace. He was so reluctant to give up the gift when he gave it to the young prince. I have to say that his scheming and courage are indeed very impressive.
"Brilliant, even I was deceived. Damn, I've been doing it for a long time, but I'm just happy for nothing." Ximenyu said depressedly, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so a moment of disappointment is inevitable.
"That's all. How could such a precious elixir be obtained so easily? But at least I got my revenge." Thinking of this, Ximen Yu felt a little more balanced, but he just didn't know if killing the bastard little prince would bring him any consequences.
What trouble? If he gives up on grabbing the elixir and sets off for Baihuamen immediately, even if there is any trouble, the people in Pingyang Palace will not be able to do anything to him in the vast sea of immortals. The problem is such a precious and incomparable elixir. It is very difficult to give up now.
It was difficult to do, so Ximen Yu finally decided to stay in Danxiang City to wait for the news, and then look for opportunities to seize the elixir.
Three days later, a white flag was hoisted in Prince Pingyang's palace, and the cries of women could be heard everywhere. Prince Pingyang was already full of anger, and was made even more upset by the cries of mourning, so he turned around all the women who had been following him for a long time.
The Immortal was beaten and scolded severely, but so what, people cannot be resurrected after death.
"My lord, it was the incompetence of my subordinates that not only allowed that bastard Zhang Tian to escape, but he also used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and kill the young prince. The Qing prince punished him." The four immortals said sadly and regretfully.
"Get out, get out, all of you, get out of here." King Pingyang said angrily.
"Wait, father, I think this matter is very suspicious. Please allow me to cross-examine again. We must not let my younger brother die in an unknown way while the real culprit is at large." said the eldest prince, who was the eldest son of King Pingyang.
The son, who is the younger prince's brother, is young but has reached the late stage of first immortal. He is a famous immortal cultivator in the immortal kingdom and has extraordinary strength. Therefore, he has won the trust of King Pingyang and is the most advantageous prince to inherit the throne. Therefore, he
His mind was extremely clear, and he felt that things would not be so simple. Although his younger brother usually had no intention of practicing and spent all day eating, drinking, having fun, and not doing his job, among the many brothers and sisters in the palace, he still felt that he was the most suitable to him, not only because of them
He is a compatriot from the same mother, and he is the only one who is truly independent from the world and will not threaten his status.
"Yin'er, have you discovered anything?" King Pingyang asked. The so-called concern is chaos. He had already been blinded by hatred, so he didn't think about it. He only thought about how to take revenge.
"That's right, father, Zhang Tian is a small guard general, and even if he borrows a hundred heads, he wouldn't dare to go against our Pingyang Palace, let alone such a treasonous thing as killing the young prince, so I guess there is another one among them.
There is something hidden." said the eldest prince Wei Yin.
"Well, there is some truth in what you said. Then I will leave this matter to you. My father believes that you can definitely avenge Yan'er." King Pingyang said sadly, thinking of his youngest son Wei Yan being so confused.
When someone dies, the pain is excruciating.
"Yes, Father, here are the four masters." Wei Yin said respectfully. The four powerful men in the middle stage of Immortality in front of him are Father's right-hand assistants, and they also provided a lot of guidance on his own path to becoming an immortal.
Therefore, Wei Yin has always regarded them as his masters, not to mention that to achieve great success in the future, he will need their strong support.
"Yes, eldest prince."
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
However, King Pingyang didn't pay attention to them. If it weren't for the fact that they were strong men in the middle stage of Zhongxian and had followed him for decades, he would have been unable to bear it and would have cut them into pieces.
"How many masters saw Zhang Tian kill my brother?" In the palace of the eldest prince Wei Yin, he asked them one by one after he asked them to take a seat.
"Um...no, but if it wasn't him, who could be there? Besides, we were afraid that the news would leak out and delay the prince's important affairs, so we worked hard along the way. When we arrived at Danxiang City, we went straight to Zhang Tian's mansion that night. There was no news during this period.
Other immortals discovered the clues and did not have any grudges with others along the way."
"Did anything unusual happen along the way?" the eldest prince Wei Yin asked again.
