That night, after Lin Bai held a banquet at the Immortal Tower, early the next morning, a piece of news swept through the imperial capital like a storm.
So much so that at noon the next day, this news became a topic of conversation among the warriors in the imperial capital after dinner.
The Imperial Capital, the Third Prince’s Mansion!
In the third prince's meeting hall, the third prince was pacing back and forth in anger, his face was fierce, his eyes were about to split, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.
Clearly on the verge of rage.
On the left and right sides of the meeting hall, every chair was empty. There was only an old man wearing a linen gown standing in the hall. He was "Mr. Huo" whom the third prince trusted most.
"Who did this! Who did this!!" The third prince's eyes were bloodshot and he roared repeatedly, "It was all a thousand years ago, how could it reappear?"
Mr. Huo stood in the hall, his face extremely pale. He came here today to report the news he heard in the imperial capital.
"It is said... Lin Bai seems to have obtained the evidence of the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, and will only wait for the opportunity to bring it out!" Mr. Huo said in a low voice.
"Lin Bai! It's Lin Bai again!" The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let this person live in this world."
The third prince felt regretful in his heart. With his power in the Sun Moon Pavilion, he was still somewhat confident if he wanted to kill Lin Bai.
After all, it is said that there is a powerful person in the Hunyuan Daoguo realm in the Sun and Moon Pavilion. If only one of them needs to be dispatched, Lin Bai will not be able to escape even with the protection of Tianshui Sect.
But the third prince had never made up his mind to kill Lin Bai. After all, Lin Bai was the holy son of the Tianshui Sect. The third prince was still unwilling to go to war with the five and seven sects of the Chu State unless it was absolutely necessary.
So he tolerated Lin Bai's survival day by day, but unexpectedly, Lin Bai finally became a serious problem for him.
The third prince sat on the chair angrily, gradually suppressing the anger in his heart, "Mr. Huo, what do you think?"
Mr. Huo thought for a moment and replied: "Lin Bai accidentally mentioned this matter when he drank too much during the banquet in the Immortal Tower."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Although Lin Bai revealed that he has obtained the evidence, in fact, most of his words were lies and he did not reveal much useful information."
"Aren't you in a hurry?" The third prince raised his sword eyebrows in anger, "Lin Bai has already found out the real name of 'Xia Jingzhi', so he must have been exposed to this matter."
"I'm not in a hurry right now? Do I have to wait until the butcher's knife falls on my neck before I'm in a hurry?"
The third prince asked angrily, and Mr. Huo was silent for a while, stunned in the hall.
The third prince continued: "Xia Jingzhi was introduced to me by Mr. Huo, but after I made him 'disappear', he did not use his real name in the imperial capital for a full thousand years."
"But this time, Lin Bai actually revealed the real name of 'Xia Jingzhi' and the fact that Xia Jingzhi was a traitor in the Worm Valley of Southern Xinjiang."
"He obviously really has a lot of evidence."
"Mr. Huo, I can't sit still and wait for death!"
The third prince held his forehead and rubbed his eyebrows, looking slightly tired and helpless.
The third prince originally wanted not to compete for the favor of Emperor Chu in the next period of time, nor to compete with His Highness King Chen for credit, nor to cause any obstacles for His Highness King Chen.
Because he knew that... after thousands of years of management in the imperial capital and court, he would be able to ascend to the throne even after Emperor Chu abdicated.
Within three to five years of His Highness Prince Chen's return to the Imperial Capital, he would never be able to shake his foundation.
In other words...as long as he doesn't make mistakes, this throne must be his. Even if His Highness King Chen destroyed the students in Kezhou and captured the warriors at the level of the Young Master of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, he would be responsible for hosting the birthday of Emperor Chu of the Imperial Capital.
... He has made many achievements, but these achievements are not enough to shake the third prince.
status.
All the third prince has to do is wait!
Wait until the birthday begins, wait until Emperor Chu abdicates, wait until he ascends the throne of God!
All this was originally going according to the plan of the third prince, but unexpectedly, Lin Bai revealed the strange cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince in the Immortal Tower, causing the third prince to be in chaos for a while.
Although the third prince did many shameful things in order to seize the legitimate heir, these things were not enough to do it for him.
The only thing he was worried about... was that someone was investigating the death of the eldest prince and the second prince.
Since the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, in the past thousand years, the Zhaoxing Division, the Holy Lotus Palace, the Chen family, and the people of His Highness King Chen have all been secretly investigating the cause of the death of the eldest prince and the second prince.
But after the third prince learned about it, he secretly sent experts to get rid of these investigators.
The reason why Lin Bai was able to find "Xia Jingzhi" was completely beyond the third prince's expectation.
The third prince never dreamed that the Zhaoxing Division, the Holy Lotus Palace, the Chen family, and the people of His Highness King Chen could not find any clues after searching for thousands of years.
Lin Bai actually found out the real name of "Xia Jingzhi" in just two or three years.
This made the third prince shudder.
"How did Lin Bai find out?" After the third prince calmed down, he began to think about what went wrong in that link.
Mr. Huo looked solemn, narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "Not sure."
The third prince was filled with anger again... They had already found out about Xia Jingzhi and were about to submit evidence, but they didn't know anything.
The third prince suppressed his anger and asked: "How many warriors who participated in this matter are still alive?"
Mr. Huo said: "Whether they were involved in the eldest prince's affairs or the second prince's affairs, those warriors have been eliminated by us."
"If there are still insiders alive, then there are only three people left in the world today... His Highness, I, and Xia Jingzhi himself!"
The third prince asked again: "Are you sure everyone has been eliminated? Has anyone escaped?"
Mr. Huo said: "Your Highness, it was the powerful man from the Sun Moon Pavilion who personally took action to exterminate the family and the clan. There is no possibility of escape."
Mr. Huo knew what the third prince was thinking, and he thought something had slipped through the net back then.
The third prince said coldly: "Then how did Lin Bai find out?"
Mr. Huo said: "Your Highness, I will send someone to investigate where Lin Bai found the incision, and they found Xia Jingzhi."
"But at present... Lin Bai seems to have mastered the 'evidence', which is extremely detrimental to us."
"I wonder what Your Highness is planning to do?"
The third prince asked, "Mr. Huo, what do you think?"
Mr. Huo waited for the third prince to ask, and he said what he was thinking, "Lin Bai said during the banquet at the Immortal Tower that the evidence can be produced when the time comes."
"According to my judgment, the timing mentioned by Lin Bai is most likely the day of Emperor Chu's birthday!"
"Facing the warriors in the demon world, presenting evidence of the death of the eldest prince and the second prince will be enough to make Emperor Chu angry, and even order the execution of His Highness on the spot."
"So, before His Majesty's birthday, we still have a chance... to deal with Lin Bai!"
The third prince took a deep breath and said with deep eyes, "Mr. Huo seems to have a countermeasure, please tell me in detail." Mr. Huo laughed gloomily, moved his lips and teeth slightly, and said what he wanted to say.
