Having returned to the Little Inner Court, back to Zhu Minglang’s courtyard, Zhu Huo still hadn’t fully recovered his senses.

Although the assassination attempt was thrilling, it didn’t compare to the conversation he had with Zhu Minglang, which was truly hair-raising.

Had a traitor really emerged at the highest levels of Zhu Gate?

Zhu Huo pondered over the slip of the tongue made by Zhao Yin Ge, and then thought about some of the incomprehensible incidents he had encountered in the past.

“It’s a pity there’s no evidence, I don’t even know how to start discussing this matter with Uncle Wangxing,” Zhu Minglang said.

Last time he visited the mysterious realm, Zhu Minglang could tell that Zhu Wangxing held great respect for the four elders, including the female Hall Master who hardly spoke; Zhu Wangxing addressed her as an equal.

If he went to Zhu Wangxing without evidence to claim there was a traitor among the eight, Zhu Wangxing might become wary of him, especially since he had just removed Zhu Huo from the core membership.

“Master, you’ve just come to the Little Inner Court and aren’t very familiar with the situation here. If you trust me, Zhu Huo, I will take it upon myself to thoroughly investigate. If you do not speak out, I wouldn’t have dared to think about worse possibilities. When I was investigating Wang Xiao and Miao Sheng, I actually discovered some suspicious matters. Considering the task of dealing with Zhao Yin Ge for you, I didn’t investigate further,” Zhu Huo suddenly knelt on one knee and spoke earnestly.

“You are still injured…” Zhu Minglang said.

“Such minor injuries won’t affect me. The fact that someone planned a banquet to harm you proves that we have a problem within the Little Inner Court. Should the secret of the Veins of the Earth be stolen by others, what else could the Little Inner Court rely on to maintain its position in the Neon Sea? I’m afraid we would soon be crushed and devoured by the surrounding powers!” Zhu Huo was clearly aware of the gravity of the situation.

“Very well, I’ll be in the light, you’ll be in the dark; we must find that traitor as soon as possible. In a few days, we should once again head to the Veins of the Earth to collect fire. If those people are really coveting the Earth Vein Lava, they will definitely choose that time to act,” Zhu Minglang said.

Zhu Huo nodded. Just as he was about to give more details on his investigation of Wang Xiao and Miao Sheng, a night pigeon suddenly flew from afar and perched on the eaves of the house.

The night pigeon had a pair of eyes like Night Amber, gazing at Zhu Huo, then after a while, it flew onto Zhu Huo’s shoulder, like a spiritual pet he reared.

Seeing the night pigeon with amber-colored eyes, Zhu Huo’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement, and he said to Zhu Minglang, “Master, I have already completed the task you assigned to me!”

Zhu Minglang, on the other hand, looked somewhat puzzled.

With a scorched and smiling face, Zhu Huo said, “When I attempted to assassinate Zhao Yin Ge, I made two preparations. If I were to fail, one of my brothers, who had been through life and death with me, would strike when Zhao Yin Ge let down his guard.”

“It worked?” Zhu Minglang asked, surprised.

“Yes, the original plan was just to probe. In fact, I couldn’t be sure that the person meeting with the little princess was Zhao Yin Ge himself, nor if the meeting was a trap, but if I didn’t act, I would never know Zhao Yin Ge’s true location or predict his movements…” Zhu Huo said.

“So you were just a stone tossed out, and your brother was the real assassin?” A hint of admiration showed in Zhu Minglang’s eyes.

“Exactly, I was prepared to die, for sacrificing Zhu Huo in exchange for the Princely Heir’s life is worth it. However, I didn’t expect the master to have been observing from the shadows and even saved Zhu Huo’s life,” Zhu Huo said.

To think that a person held in high regard by Zhu Wangxing had a contingency plan, and had indeed captured Zhao Yin Ge!

“Is he still alive?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Alive. There’s certainly valuable information in this Princely Heir’s mouth,” Zhu Huo said.

…

Zhu Huo led the way, and the two left Qin City, traveling along the towering sea cliffs until they finally saw Zhu Huo’s brother, who had been through life and death with him, in a lighthouse stone house facing the sea.

The man was silent and abstinent, with scars on his forehead and a somewhat ugly appearance. Upon seeing Zhu Huo, he immediately showed an excited expression, apparently having been worried about Zhu Huo’s safety all this time.

“I’m fine, Wu Peng, how did you capture him?” Zhu Huo glanced inside the dimly lit room, lit by a brazier. He could clearly see a man who had been burned, chained to a pillar…

Wu Peng was a mute. He used sign language to tell Zhu Huo how he had sneaked into the medical clinic and, while the other guards were not paying attention, knocked Zhao Yin Ge unconscious and kidnapped him.

Zhao Yin Ge had been burned by the Earth Vein Lava and, like Wu Peng who had been observing in the dark, initially hid in the famous medical clinic of Qin City.

“The temperature of the lava is extraordinary, and only the divine healers of the medical clinic could alleviate such burning. You were clever to hide there first. They would never imagine that there was an assassin in the clinic they had decided to visit on the spur of the moment. Well done, Wu Peng!” Zhu Huo said with delight.

Zhu Minglang’s opinion of Zhu Huo also greatly improved.

Not only was he bold and responsible, but he was also brave and strategic. An Qingfeng and Zhao Yu must be going mad. Not only did they fail to capture the ‘minor character’ they spoke of, but they also lost the Princely Heir Zhao Yin Ge!

“My lord, Wu Peng said that if it weren’t for the other person having a higher cultivation base, he wouldn’t have risked it. He could even have captured the other person as well,” Zhu Huo said.

Zhu Minglang nodded. One Zhao Yin Ge was enough. After all, An Qingfeng was the son of King An. Even wounded, he was not an easy target. It was wise of Wu Peng not to be greedy.

“Do you have water? Splatter it on him. His hands and feet are prosthetics. Pour it over him,” Zhu Minglang instructed.

Wu Peng immediately fetched a basin of water and aimed at the spots on Zhao Yin Ge’s body that had been burnt red. The water was poured right onto the wound!

Putting water on the wound was not to cool Zhao Yin Ge down. In fact, the Earth Vein Lava could not be extinguished with ordinary cold water, and could even cause the wound to worsen!

“Sizzling!!!”

The cold water reacted with the remnants of the lava, instantly boiling upon contact and cooking the wounds of Zhao Yin Ge. The unconscious Zhao Yin Ge was jolted awake by the pain. He screamed out, only to have a ladle of cold water poured into his mouth, causing him to choke and cough violently!

“Where is this??”

“Who are you!!”

“Do you know who I am? I am Zhao Yin Ge, the Imperial Son!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After waking up, Zhao Yin Ge found himself in a strange place, facing a man with a scarred and ugly forehead, and his expression became panicked.

But soon, Zhao Yin Ge spotted Zhu Minglang and Zhu Huo.

His eyes widened as much as they could.

Wasn’t he in the medical clinic???

How had he fallen into the hands of these two men?

“Zhao Yin Ge, this is no longer the Imperial City; you don’t have your Death Exemption Token here!” Zhu Minglang said with a cold smirk.

“You… what do you want to do, murder a member of the Royal Family? That’s a crime that could wipe out one’s entire family!” Zhao Yin Ge said in extreme fear.
