Chapter 174 The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect Takes the Blame
"What on earth happened? Why did Ice Emperor Douluo and his men leave before the battle was over?"

"I don't know, but since the Royal Knights came to look for me, I think something big happened in Tiandou City, otherwise the Ice Emperor Douluo wouldn't be in such a hurry."

While watching the battle, everyone was talking.

The remaining four Titled Douluo who were watching the battle, Qianxunji, Jinzhong, Yinchui, Chenxin, etc., were also curious.

They also guessed that something must have happened in Tiandou City.

Chen Xin looked at Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen who were still fighting, and then looked in the direction of Tiandou City. Although he wanted to continue watching, he chose to follow because he was worried about Ning Fengzhi's safety.

A distance of three hundred miles was nothing to Lin Hanye's Ice Dragon, but in order to take care of those Tiandou soldiers, he still slowed down a lot, and deliberately waited for Jian Douluo.

A moment later, Jian Douluo caught up and asked hurriedly, "President Lin, what happened?"

Lin Hanye did not hide it, and said with a look of deep sorrow, "Two and a half hours ago, His Majesty was assassinated in the palace."

"How is this possible?" Jian Douluo was very surprised, because his good friend Gu Rong was also in the palace.

How is it possible that someone could assassinate Emperor Xue Ye in front of Gu Rong?

Logically speaking, even Guangling Douluo, who is the best assassin in the Spirit Hall, cannot do this.

Gu Rong might not be Guang Ling's opponent, but he could still hold him back for a while and give Xue Ye a chance to escape.

"Your Majesty Sword Douluo, this is true. I was right there at the time and saw it with my own eyes." Knight Captain Merson said.

"Then do you know who the assassin is? And is our sect leader safe and sound?" Jian Douluo asked.

Hearing this, Mossen was silent for a while, and said: "Master Ning is fine. As for the assassin..." He was not in a position to say the rest.

Jian Douluo and Huang Yueyao also saw that the other party had something to hide. Lin Hanye said, "Let's talk about it slowly on the way. There is no time to lose. Let's go over and take a look. Hurry up."

After saying that, Lin Hanye increased his speed, and Jian Douluo followed closely behind.

Half an hour later, the group landed at the Tiandou Palace.

"President Lin, and His Majesty Dugu, you have to make a decision for our Tiandou Royal Family. Ning Fengzhi was dissatisfied with my brother's reliance on the Soul Master Guild, so he instigated Gu Rong to murder him, and he refused to admit it afterwards."

As soon as he landed, Xue Xing rushed over as if he had seen a savior, with snot and tears all over the floor, and he almost fell to his knees.

"What did you say?" Seeing that Xue Xing actually wanted to frame him and Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong became angry instantly, but after seeing Lin Hanye standing aside, his tone instantly weakened a lot.

Ning Fengzhi's face had already turned gloomy, but he dared not say anything, because the moment Lin Hanye came back, it no longer mattered whether Xue Ye was harmed by them or not.

From now on, their fate is in Lin Hanye's hands.

"Prince Xuexing, I am deeply saddened by your loss. Captain Merson has already told us the details of what happened. Please allow us to examine His Majesty's body first."

Lin Hanye said, looking at Dugu Bo, "Elder Dugu, go check if His Majesty is poisoned first."

"Leave it to me." After a moment, Dugu Bo shook his head and said nonsense in a serious tone, "I dare not say that I am the best in the world in the art of poison, but no matter how sophisticated the poisoning method is, it will definitely not be hidden from me. I just checked the body of your majesty, and there is no sign of poisoning. It doesn't look like a sudden death, but more like a mental attack. But it is enough to kill a person silently and leave no wound afterwards. This level of mental power is difficult for even the president to achieve."

"It seems that he died from a pure mental attack skill." Lin Hanye pretended to go forward and check it out, then turned to look at Gu Rong with an iron-faced and impartial look, and asked: "Gu Douluo, can you describe the specific situation at that time?" "This is what happened."

Gu Rong did not dare to hide it and told the whole story immediately.

"In other words, you discovered the assassin in the bedroom after His Majesty was attacked?"

Lin Hanye continued to ask.

"Yes."

Gu Rong was stunned. Although he didn't know what the other party was trying to say, he still answered honestly.

"Jian Douluo, His Majesty's bedroom is closed on all sides, with only one exit, the main door, and all the windows are closed. Let me ask you, if you were facing the situation just now, and if you killed someone, would you be able to escape Gu Rong's search and leave quietly in such a short time?"

Lin Hanye looked towards the ancient banyan tree.

Although Jian Douluo didn't believe that Gu Rong would do such a stupid thing, he still didn't say anything against his will, "I can't do it. Not only me, but even you, President Lin, the Great Priest of the Spirit Hall, and Haotian Douluo, the three most powerful Titled Douluos in the world, can't do it."

Then, he added: "But as far as I know, Old Bone, he doesn't have a head soul bone, and he doesn't have the ability to launch a mental attack."

"Who knows if this guy secretly absorbed a piece of head soul bone without telling you and then murdered Your Majesty? After all, this guy has a criminal record."

Snowstar retorted.

"Why, do you want me to open my skull and show you if I have a head soul bone?"

Gu Rong had never suffered such humiliation before and was furious.

"Bone Douluo, we are just discussing the matter at hand. Don't be impulsive." Lin Hanye stood in front of Xue Xing.

"President Lin is right. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

With a backer, Xue Xing became more and more arrogant. He didn't know whether Xue Ye was harmed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but even if it wasn't them, he would treat it as if they were the ones.

Otherwise, after this incident, as the biggest beneficiary, he will become the suspect.

By then, not only would he not be able to sit firmly on the throne, he would also be condemned by the public.

"You..." Gu Rong was so angry that his eyes were red and he was panting like a cow. He subconsciously wanted to explode, but Ning Fengzhi stopped him and asked, "President Lin, how can you clear my uncle Gu and me of suspicion?"

Lin Hanye said, "Master Ning, don't say I'm unkind, but this matter concerns the death of His Majesty. Considering our past friendship, how about this? Before you clear your suspicion, you and Bone Douluo should stay in the palace for the time being and don't go anywhere. When I find the real culprit one day, I will clear your name."

"What, you want to imprison us?"

Hearing this, Gu Rong became angry again. He protected Ning Fengzhi in front of him, and nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, rose from his feet. He was about to take action, and even Ning Fengzhi couldn't persuade him.

At the critical moment, Jian Douluo grabbed his arm and burst out nine spirit rings of the same color to restrain him, "Don't be impulsive, old bone."
