Peerless Divine Emperor

It was understandable that he had killed Zhuge Muqing, but no one else knew about it. Naturally, Jing Yunxiao would not be so foolish as to admit with a smack that he had killed a prince.    

If they offended the Imperial Family, they would have no place in the Hundred Warring State.    

Jing Yunxiao paused, and his expression immediately became somewhat sad. He then turned to the guard and said: "This lord, Fifth Prince, he ?. "He ?"    

In this life, it all depended on acting.    

At an appropriate time, Jing Yunxiao had to broaden his horizons.    

He put on an appearance of extreme guilt and unease, causing a layer of shadow to instantly cover the bottom of everyone's heart. Everyone seemed to understand that the Fifth Prince had probably encountered an accident.    

"What about the Fifth Prince?"    

The guard was getting anxious as well.    

If something were to happen to the Fifth Prince, how would he return to report? Once the Imperial Family found out about the Fifth Prince's accident, they probably wouldn't be able to think of anything.    

Jing Yunxiao's face darkened. He then turned to the guard and said, "It's all my fault, I was useless. Fifth Prince and I entered the last level of the tower, but I did not expect to see a Rank 7 Spirit Beast on that level. That spirit beast was extremely fierce, upon seeing us, it immediately attacked us. Because I was already injured, Fifth Prince was very kind, and so he did not let me do it.    

"I didn't expect ? I didn't expect ?"    

Speaking to here, Jing Yunxiao looked as if he was about to cry.    

"I didn't think of anything, hurry up and say it!"    

The guard was burning with anxiety.    

The surrounding people all stopped and listened to Jing Yunxiao recount the "story" inside the tower.    

The Fifth Prince had clearly heavily injured him on the ground, and the Spirit Beast had not stood up yet. We all thought that the Spirit Beast had died, but when the Fifth Prince walked over to check, the Spirit Beast actually came back to life and used the most powerful sneak attack he had. The Fifth Prince struggled to resist, but the Spirit Beast was too close to him, and was not able to avoid it.    

Jing Yunxiao's words were vivid, causing everyone to almost believe him when they heard it.    

But at this time, a person rushed out of the tower. He was also one of the guards Zhuge Muqing brought along, and when he saw that Zhuge Muqing did not appear after Jing Yunxiao, he ran into the tower to investigate. Since the Ancient Sword of Sword Emperor had already been taken away, the last layer of taboo in the tower had disappeared, allowing him to freely enter and leave the fifth floor.    

"Chief Protector, in the iron tower, there are no traces of Fifth Prince, only signs of fighting."    

The guard told the truth about what he had seen.    

"Have you seen any trace of spirit beasts?"    

Chief Protector immediately asked.    

However, the guard shook his head and replied, "Nor did he. But apart from the traces of fighting, there are also traces of burning fires. "    

When he said till here, everyone's minds started to replay the scene of Jing Yunxiao killing Jing Zhuo and using that bizarre flame to instantly burn Jing Zhuo's body clean.    

"Kid, did you plot to kill the Fifth Prince and destroy his corpse?"    

When the Chief Protector heard this, he was immediately enraged.    

Seeing that he had acted for so long and everything he had done so far had ended in failure, Jing Yunxiao was slightly displeased: "Chief Protector, I know that Fifth Prince has passed away. You are very angry and I also express my sorrow, but you can't just blame this kind of thing on me, right? When I fought with Jing Zhuo at that time, I was already heavily injured. If it was you, with your cultivation at the third level of the Spiritual Martial Stage, under serious injuries, would you still be able to kill Fifth Prince who is at the peak of the seventh level of the Spiritual Martial Stage? "    

No matter what the others thought, as far as Jing Yunxiao was concerned, he definitely could not admit that he had killed Zhuge Muqing.    

"Hmph, who doesn't know that you're extremely bizarre. The Fifth Prince's heart is kind and benevolent, so it's very possible that he accidentally fell into your path." Because you're afraid that the Fifth Prince will snatch Mu Shishi away, it's even more possible that you have killing intent towards the Fifth Prince. Furthermore, you have mastered Spiritual Arrays. If you master Spiritual Arrays, then everything is possible. "    

A guard behind Chief Protector shouted coldly.    

Another guard also agreed: "Chief Protector, I think we should stop talking with this brat and bring him back to the Imperial Family. If we report the truth, the higher ups will make the decision."    

The Chief Protector nodded his head and said: "Jing Yunxiao, since you said that you didn't kill the Fifth Prince, then do you dare to make a trip to the Imperial Palace with us and explain everything clearly?"    

The reason the Chief Protector said this was because he was worried that Jing Yunxiao would run away.    

With their cultivation, with the protection of the General's Estate and the Phoenix Water Pavilion, it would be easy for Jing Yunxiao to escape.    

Go back to the royal family with them and explain everything? When that time came, the Hundred Warring State Emperor Zhuge Ao would become furious and would immediately kill Jing Yunxiao. Jing Yunxiao did not even have the chance to resist.    

"What if I don't go back with you?"    

Jing Yunxiao's voice turned ice-cold.    

"That means you have a guilty conscience, you are the main culprit behind killing Fifth Prince."    

Chief Protector said in a decisive manner.    

"Tsk tsk, what a sin, why is there nothing to say? Even if I had followed you back to the Imperial City, you would have insisted that I was the one who killed the Fifth Prince in order to protect yourselves.    

Jing Yunxiao smacked his lips, looking down on everyone.    

"Hmph, looks like you really do not dare to return with us. In that case, don't blame us for being impolite."    

Chief Protector was obviously determined to capture Jing Yunxiao.    

After he finished speaking, he signaled the rest of the guards, and all the guards immediately surrounded Jing Yunxiao.    

"Wait."    

Just as the few guards were about to attack, Zuo Qingfeng suddenly stood out and said: "Chief Protector, my General's Estate dares to guarantee, what's happening here is definitely not the Scene Brothers, if you really want Brother Jing to return to the Imperial City and investigate, then my General's Estate will be responsible for escorting you, and if there are any mistakes, then His Majesty the Emperor will punish you, and my General's Estate will take responsibility."    

Zuo Qingfeng was well aware of the depth of this palace, and he also knew of Zhuge Ao's explosive temper. Once Jing Yunxiao really returned to the Imperial Palace, Zhuge Ao, who had lost his son, would probably not even know how to interrogate him and directly take his life.    

As for the Chief Protector, Zuo Qingfeng understood that the reason the Chief Protector insisted on detaining Jing Yunxiao was simply to find a scapegoat for him. If he let Jing Yunxiao accept Zhuge Ao's anger, perhaps he would be spared from punishment.    

Therefore, Zuo Qingfeng naturally did not want to see Jing Yunxiao just throw his life away like that.    

Even if Zhuge Ao were to blame them, they would not take revenge on the General's Estate so easily.
