Nangong Ye asked the Six Sword Slaves to search for the secret chamber while he and the Startling Salamander walked towards the main hall of the Luo Clan Castle.
A few charred wooden stakes were scattered on the ground. Judging by their size, they should be the beams of the main hall.
The beam was charred by the fire and was pitch black.
However, three years had passed, and a few weeds had grown from the beam.
They absorbed the nutrients from the ashes and grew very strong.
The wildfire could not burn, but the spring wind blew and it grew again.
Everyone here was dead, but life still existed, and the more they lived, the better.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, a footprint on the beam in front of him caught Nangong Ye's attention.
This footprint was very fresh. It looked like it was left two days ago.
"Is there someone like me who has also noticed the Luo Clan Fort?”
Nangong Ye was secretly on guard, and his expression was a little ugly.
This group of people had arrived two days ago. Could it be that the Vermilion Bird had already been taken over by someone else?
"Young Master."
Startling Salamander also noticed the footprints. Seeing Nangong Ye's expression, she comforted him,""We still don't know if the Vermilion Bird has been taken away, but we still have a chance.”
"I hope so."
Nangong Ye narrowed his eyes and a hint of killing intent flashed across them.
He was determined to get the Vermilion Bird. Whoever dared to reach out, he would chop off their claws.
If anyone dared to steal food from the tiger's mouth, Nangong Ye would destroy his entire family!
At this moment, Luan Shen and Zhen Gang flew over from afar. The two of them cupped their fists at the same time and said,"Young Master, we found the secret room, but…"
"But what?"
"However, someone has already come and taken the Vermilion Bird away.”
Nangong Ye was expressionless and did not get angry.
As a superior, he had to maintain his composure even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. He could not casually lose his composure.
Under Zhen Gang's guidance, Nangong Ye walked into an underground palace.
This underground chamber was hidden very deeply. The secret door to the entrance was under an inconspicuous warehouse, so it had not been discovered by anyone in the past three years.
At this moment, the secret door of the underground palace had been opened by someone. The traces of the opening were very new, just like the footprints outside. It had only been two days.
Walking into the secret room, Moryo, Broken Water, and the others were already waiting inside.
They lit up the torches, making the dark secret room as bright as day.
Because no one had come in for many years, the secret room was covered in dust and the corners were covered with spider webs.
In the center of the secret room was a bed and a table.
There was a cloud brocade quilt on the bed, and there was a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. Now, they were covered in dust.
Nangong Ye glanced around the secret room and saw dozens of footprints on the ground.
There were large and small footprints, but there were only two patterns.
The footprints extended all the way to the front of a wall. There was a secret compartment on the wall that had been opened.
There was only an empty treasure chest left in the secret compartment. The items inside had already disappeared.
"Did you see anything?"
Nangong Ye suddenly asked in the quiet secret room.
The Six Sword Slaves looked at each other, and their leader Zhen Gang came forward to report,""We carefully observed the footprints in the secret chamber. Judging from the size, there should be nine people who entered the secret chamber.”
"But among these nine people, eight of them wear the same shoes. Only one person is different from them. This person's identity should be extraordinary.”
"Is that all?"
Hearing Nangong Ye's question, Chaos God stepped forward and continued Zhen Gang's words.""Judging from the patterns of their footprints, these people are wearing the Flying Cloud Boots unique to the Imperial Army.”
"The patterns on the soles of these flying cloud boots are specially woven by Jiangnan's flying cloud workshop. They are specially made for the Imperial Army and cannot be copied by others.”
"And the only different footprint has the pattern of a flying python swallowing clouds. There is only one kind of person in the world who can wear this kind of shoe, the prince of the royal family!”
"Since you already know, go and check it out.”
Nangong Ye turned around and walked out of the secret chamber. He looked into the distance with a deep gaze." Mobilize all the spies in the vicinity and see which prince has been to the Luo Clan Castle recently.”
"Yes, Young Master."
After the Six Sword Slaves received the order, they instantly disappeared.
Nangong Ye clasped his hands behind his back and remained silent.
He was determined to get the Vermilion Bird. Whoever got it would die.
The net would never consider the identity or background of the target when killing.
Naturally, Nangong Ye killed people in the same way.
Even if the other party was a prince, Nangong Ye would not let him go.
............
The network organization had spies all over the world.
With Nangong Ye's order, all the hidden spies within a thousand miles of the Luo Clan Castle were activated.
It didn't take much time because the matter that Nangong Ye wanted to investigate wasn't a top secret.
Four hours later, the Six Sword Slaves returned with the news that Nangong Ye needed.
"Young Master, I found it."
Zhen Gang stepped forward and reported respectfully," Two days ago, a group of thirty-six Imperial Army soldiers came to the Luo Clan Fort. The leader was a young master.”
"Our spies have verified that he is the ninth son of the current emperor, Qin Xian.”
"Qin Xian? What about his information?"
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Distracted God respectfully handed over a piece of paper with both hands. On it was detailed information on Qin Xian.
Qin Xian, the ninth prince of the Great Qin Empire. His mother was a concubine of the Wei family.
Qin Xian was intelligent and talented since childhood. He was deeply loved by the emperor.
Qin Xian was now 23 years old, and his cultivation was at the late stage of the Connate Realm. He had the hope of entering the Grandmaster Realm by the age of 30.
A month ago, Qin Xian left the palace with orders. He first went to the Soaring Wind City, then to Quanzhou City, and arrived at the Luo Clan Castle two days ago.
"Where is he now?"
Nangong Ye shattered the paper into pieces and asked coldly.
"He's currently in Torrent Wind City, which is 50 miles away from the Luo Clan Castle. He's staying in the City Lord's Mansion, and City Lord Lu Yang is currently hosting a banquet to entertain him.”
"Haha." Nangong Ye sneered." This City Lord is quite good at bootlicking.”
"Let's go to Imperial Wind City."
Nangong Ye mounted his horse and whipped it. The horse neighed and galloped away.
From the moment Qin Xian took the Vermilion Bird away, his fate was already decided.
