The main reason why Lin Bai wanted to investigate the death of the eldest prince and the second prince was that the deaths of these two people were full of doubts.
In particular, it was linked to the seizure of heirs. Not only did Lin Bai suspect that the eldest prince and the second prince did not die from being possessed, many warriors inside and outside the imperial capital could see that there must be a deep secret behind the death of the eldest prince and the second prince.
.
The situation in the former emperor's capital was that the third prince and His Highness King Chen were competing for the throne.
The third prince has been working hard in the imperial capital for many years, and it has already become deeply ingrained. There are backyards in the court and military headquarters.
He also has the Sun Moon Pavilion under his command to support countless minions, as strong as clouds.
The five major families in the imperial capital, the Zhao family, the Li family, and the Sun family have all come under the command of the third prince.
Among the seven major sects, Tiandi Sect has stated that it will support the third prince, and although Wentian Sect has not made it clear yet, they are secretly regarded as the third prince's people.
There are five families and seven sects in Chu State, and there are three major families and two major sects, which belong to the third prince.
On the other hand, His Highness King Chen now has no other allies except for the support of Tianshui Sect.
Tianxian Sect, Shenglian Palace, and the Chen family are all still in a wait-and-see mode.
In particular, the Chen family and Shenglian Palace have deep connections with the royal family.
The eldest prince is the son of an elder of the Holy Lotus Palace, and the second prince is the son of a direct clan member of the Chen family.
After the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the Chen family and the Holy Lotus Palace remained neutral.
If Lin Bai can find out whether the eldest prince and the second prince died at the hands of the third prince, it will definitely be of great help to His Royal Highness Prince Chen.
The so-called...the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In this way, if the Chen family and the Holy Lotus Palace stand on His Highness King Chen's side, His Highness King Chen's strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.
That's why Lin Bai was so concerned about the death of the eldest prince and the second prince.
Ren Xin is a veteran weapon refiner in Tianji Pavilion. He has been a member of Tianji Pavilion for more than five thousand years.
Which era did he personally experience between the eldest prince and the second prince?
It seems that he also has some understanding of the deaths of the eldest prince and the second prince.
Lin Bai hurriedly asked: "Senior, do you know any secrets? Please tell me, senior!"
Ren Xin was about to say something but stopped. He didn't want to participate in the battle to seize the heir, but now he has poured all his efforts into the measuring ruler.
He hoped that Lin Bai could reach the top of the demon world and become famous all over the world by using the ruler of heaven.
If Lin Bai died in the imperial capital and Liang Tianzhi ended up in a foreign country, he might have to hide his name for many years.
Even when the Heaven-Measuring Ruler reappeared in the world in the future, Ren Xin could no longer see that day, and no one would know that the Heaven-Measuring Ruler was refined by Ren Xin.
"Why."
Ren Xin paced back and forth in the room, shaking his head repeatedly, struggling in his heart.
"Forget it, I will tell you what happened, and I will go to Tianji Pavilion to resign, and then return to the imperial capital after Emperor Chu's birthday!"
"This is not the place to talk. You come with me. I have a secret courtyard in the imperial capital, which is safe enough."
Ren Xin thought about it again and again, and finally seemed to decide to speak.
When Lin Bai heard this, his eyes lit up with joy.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Tianji Pavilion during this trip, I would get something unexpected.
If the cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince can really be found out, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Lin Bai put away the Heavenly Measurement Ruler and the Poseidon Pearl, went to Tianji Pavilion to receive Taiyi Golden Pill, and then followed Senior Ren Xin to leave Tianji Pavilion.
The two walked through the streets and alleys in the imperial capital, and finally came to a remote alley.
Lin Bai paid attention to the sign in the lane, which read: "Nancheng, Bingxinfang, Xuanguang Road, Qianshui Lane".
The imperial capital is divided into four cities, southeast, northwest, and the central imperial city.
Within the four cities of southeast, northwest and northwest, each city is divided into 90,000 square meters.
Each square is divided into three thousand lanes.
Each lane is subdivided into countless blocks and lanes.
In turn, they formed the huge scale of the imperial capital.
finally.
Lin Bai and Ren Xin stopped in front of No. 7890 Qianshui Lane.
Ren Xin opened the door, and the magic circle naturally lit up.
The two passed through the light door and walked into the courtyard, and found that it was a simple and unique courtyard.
"This place is my secret residence within the imperial capital. Very few people know about this place."
"It should be absolutely safe here."
Ren Xin came to the courtyard, opened the magic circle, isolated the world, and then said to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai said: "In that case, please let me, senior, speak freely."
Ren Xin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with memories, as if he was recalling what happened a thousand years ago.
"The eldest prince died fifteen hundred years ago."
"The second prince died thirteen hundred years ago."
"At that time, I had just returned from traveling outside the demon world and had just received the Immortal Gold of Divine Tears. I originally wanted to select one of the first and second princes to refine a peerless magic weapon for them."
"I first took a fancy to the eldest prince. The reason is very simple. The eldest prince was the crown prince at that time and the most promising person to become emperor."
"As long as the eldest prince ascends the throne, the magic weapon I refine for him will become the 'Emperor's Blade', and I will be famous forever."
"It's a pity that before I could get acquainted with the eldest prince, the eldest prince died suddenly and mysteriously!"
"..."
"The deaths of the eldest prince and the second prince are extremely strange."
"Both of them died in their own palaces, and both died in a secret room. They both died because they went crazy while practicing martial arts."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince is not that simple!"
"..."
"After the news of the death of the eldest prince came, Emperor Chu ordered us, the formation masters, weapon refiners, and alchemists from Tianji Pavilion to go to the eldest prince's palace to assist the Zhaoxing Division in investigating the cause of the eldest prince's death."
"At that time, I was well-known in Tianji Pavilion, so naturally I went to the eldest prince's palace to assist the Zhaoxing Division in the investigation!"
Ren Xin said this and paused briefly.
Lin Bai asked: "Then what? Senior Ren Xin must have made some special discovery, right?"
Ren Xin nodded slightly and said: "On the surface, the eldest prince and the second prince died in the palace, without any signs of murder. But I... still found some clues..."
Lin Bai asked curiously: "What's the clue?"
Ren Xin looked at Lin Bai and whispered: "A strange poison! If I guess correctly, it should be the 'God and Demon Tribulation'."
Tribulation between gods and demons?
What is this?
Is it a poison?
Lin Bai looked at Ren Xin in confusion and asked, "What is the Tribulation of Gods and Demons?"
Ren Xin said: "The Tribulation of Gods and Demons is..."
Just as Ren Xin continued to explain to Lin Bai.
Sudden.
A hissing sound.
A sheet of silver needles flying out of the void like a rainstorm of secrets flew straight towards Lin Bai and Ren Xin.
"not good!"
"Senior, be careful!"
Lin Bai screamed in surprise, hurriedly activated his cultivation and strength, and hurriedly protected Ren Xin and retreated backwards.
But it was too late.
That piece of silver needle pierced Ren Xin's defense and penetrated into his flesh.
"Pfft!"
Ren Xin spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into Lin Bai's arms.
"Who is that?" Lin Bai's eyes flashed and he saw a figure escaping quickly in the darkness.
