In the end, the royal family searched for a long time, but there was no result.
Qi Mubei sat on the peak of North Emperor Mountain for seven days and seven nights.
"Father, long time no see."
It was Xiang Huanzhi's wife, Qing Yue.
Although decades had passed, Qing Yue's appearance had not changed much.
"Brother Xiang, you will stand here and leave.”
Qi Mubei's voice had a hint of sadness and sigh.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death. Even if a cultivator can't defy the heavens, they still have to face life and death.”
Qing Yue's face was emotionless, as if she did not care about Xiang Huanzhi's life or death.
A cool breeze blew across the North Emperor Mountain, causing Qi Mubei to feel a chill in his heart. This Princess Qing Yue in front of him actually gave him a strange feeling.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for decades, you would have such an understanding.”
Qing Yue didn't say anything more. She just shook her head and said,"The royal family of the North is about to fall. If we can't give an explanation within three months, I wonder who in the royal family will be able to turn the tide and support the building. Imperial Father shouldn't be here now."
After saying this, Princess Qing Yue turned around and left.
North Emperor Mountain was also known as Cloud Spirit Mountain. The mountain was lush and verdant, and it was like spring all year round. There were often birds and beasts coming and going, although the spiritual energy was ordinary and not as good as the Ten Mysterious Sky Mountains. However, it was once the place where Qi Beiyu, the great ancestor of the Northern Defense Empire, ascended to the throne. After he ascended to the throne, Qi Mubei renamed it North Emperor Mountain.
Qi Mubei had ascended the throne at the North Emperor Mountain, but he had fallen here after stepping into the realm of fairy dust. The second person who was about to turn into a saint and break through the immortal dust, Xiang Huanzhi, also died here.
Both times, the Northern Defense Empire had fallen into a crisis, and this time, the crisis was even more serious.
"The North is tyrannical, using martial arts to suppress others, forbidding other people's countries, slaughtering several races, and showing off their national prestige. There were also several kings who harmed the people and traded people. Xin De sent a saint from heaven to save the people and save the world with his own body. The royal family was secretly jealous and went against heaven to kill and abuse the saint. Now our three tribes, assisted by the sons of saints, have ruled the wicked countries.”
Three days ago, the Elf Clan, the Orc Clan, and the Darolman Clan announced that they were leaving the Northern Defense Empire. At the same time, they recruited troops and issued a call to arms to the Northern Defense Empire.
The Dalorman people were originally a country overseas. After the flood and subjugation, they crossed over to the Tian Xuan Land in the year 4650. At that time, Xiang Huanzhi went to receive them and even reported to Qi Mubei that he allowed them to establish a country.
As for Xiang Huanzhi's son, he expressed that in order to carry on his father's will and seek justice, he changed his name to Xiang Huanzhi and gave the royal family of the Northern Defense Empire one month to hand over the murderer. Otherwise, he would lead the three armies to attack the Northern Defense Empire.
After the news was released, there were actually city lords in the Northern Defense Empire who responded to it, and many civilians joined the three races 'armies.
"How's the investigation going?" Qi Mubei returned to the palace and asked about Qi Yuhuang's investigation.
"The situation isn't ideal and we've already released those xiuzhe. After all, the person who attacked that day was in our palace team and I suspect that person is from the palace.”
Qi Yuhuang said.
"Are you saying that there is a traitor?"
"That's right. After that, we went to check the treasure vault and found that the Soul Cleaving Saber had already returned to the treasure vault. This Soul-breaking Saber was unique, and that person had indeed used the Soul-breaking Saber that day. So I suspect that this person can enter the treasure vault freely and was with the palace team that day.”
"Who do you suspect?"
"Imperial Gate Commander Zhang Hexiao!"
"There's still one more person! The number one in the world, Liu Ru!"
Qi Mubei suddenly said.
Qi Yuhuang was shocked when he heard this name and was about to say something.
"Go and call Long Teng and Liu Rushi in!”
Without waiting for Qi Yuhuang to speak, Qi Mubei suddenly asked Qi Yuhuang to look for Qi Beiteng and Yu Liu Ru.
"Your son accepts the order!" Qi Yuhuang sighed in his heart and left.
Soon, Qi Yuhuang brought two people over.
"Foreign Elder Liu, are you Xiang Huanzhi's fellow countryman?”
"Yes!" Liu Ru was dressed in black and held her jade sword in her hand. She didn't bow and only spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Yes, Qi Beiteng!" Qi Mubei did not mind and said to the young man beside him.
The young man was dressed in gray and had a confident smile on his face.
"Greetings, Imperial Grandfather!"
"I asked you and Foreign Elder Liu to find the murderer within three days. Can you do it?”
"Yes, but Royal Grandfather…"
Qi Beiteng said confidently. He wanted to say something, but Qi Mubei interrupted him.
"Alright, you and Foreign Elder Liu can go down and investigate!”
"Wait, Your Majesty, if the Third Prince and I find the murderer, can you fight me?”
Liu Ru suddenly said.
Qi Mubei's expression did not change. He calmly looked at the woman in front of him and said,"If you can find the murderer, Zhen will naturally agree to your request. You may leave!"
"Yes, sir!" Qi Beiteng quickly cupped his hands and left with Liu Rushi.
The two of them left, leaving only Qi Mubei and Qi Yuhuang in the palace.
" Father!?" Qi Yuhuang was a little shocked and surprised by Qi Mubei's answer to Liu Rushi.
"Go tell Zhao Zixun that if those traitors make any strange movements, kill them without mercy. And mobilize the Northern Defense Guards to assist him! Let them know that the sky of Tian Xuan is the sky of our Qi Clan!”
Qi Mubei was sitting on the top, looking extremely domineering. Even Qi Yuhuang was shocked, but his words made his blood boil.
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
Qi Yuhuang sighed in his heart and did not ask any more questions about Liu Rushi. Instead, he bowed respectfully and left to make arrangements.
"Liu Ru, the number one in the world. Hmph, interesting!”
Qi Mubei muttered before slowly leaving the palace.
