Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 181.2 - Turmoil In The Imperial City

In a restaurant in the Golden Leaf Imperial Capital, Feng Xianger was sitting cross-legged, practicing cultivation.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the window made of colored glass. Feng Xianger opened her eyes and looked over, seeing a purple bird outside the window.

Xiao Zi! Feng Xiangers face lit up with joy. She waved her hand, and the window opened, allowing Xiao Zi to fly in.

Little one, how did you come here? Wheres your rascal master? Feng Xianger gently stroked Xiao Zis soft, satin-like feathers, smiling as she asked.

Chirp chirp Xiao Zi chirped.

What? He fell into a pit toilet? I bet his mother must have given birth to him right in there, thats why his last name is Shit? Feng Xianger laughed.

Chirp chirp

Oh, so he likes peeping at Auntie while shes bathing? Thats truly unforgivable.

Chirp chirp

Ah, he actually likes men? I never would have guessed. So his perverted behavior towards girls was just a disguise. I misunderstood him.

Qi Bei couldnt bear to listen any longer from outside the window, so he flashed inside.

A womans revengeful heart is terrifying. Last time, he flirted with Feng Xianger through Xiao Zis conversation, and now she was immediately retaliating.

When did you arrive? Didnt hear anything, did you? Feng Xianger asked. For some reason, she didnt have much guardedness against this guy, otherwise, she wouldnt have let him enter so easily in the middle of the night.

I heard a woman with a strong revengeful heart talking to herself, Qi Bei shrugged and smiled.

Feng Xianger smiled slightly and asked, You came here in the middle of the night, so whats the matter?

Its a big matter, Qi Beis expression became solemn.

This expression made Feng Xiangers heart also immediately heavy.

I am a student from the Sunset Royal Academy, part of an exchange group visiting the academies of the Golden Leaf Empire. We were warmly received by Emperor Han Mo, who arranged for us to stay in a mansion belonging to the Fourth Prince, Lando. However, I discovered a secret, Qi Bei said.

What secret? Feng Xianger asked.

Theres an underground dungeon in that mansion, and there are undead creatures inside, Qi Bei said in a low voice.

Really? How did you discover it? Feng Xiangers expression changed.

Actually, that night there was a banquet, and the Fourth Prince, Lando, coveted the women around me but couldnt have them. So he poisoned our wine, but the servant accidentally spilled the tray, and the wine was licked by three pet dogs. Immediately, the three dogs died. In order to evade responsibility, he placed all the blame on that servant. But I secretly followed the two guards who were escorting the servant and made the discovery. You know, Xiao Zi is very sensitive to dark energy, Qi Bei explained.

Feng Xianger nodded. Xiao Zi carried the aura of a Thunder Phoenix, and among all the elements, besides the Light element that restrained darkness, the Thunder element was also effective against dark energy. It was normal for Xiao Zi to be sensitive to it.

By the way, I brought the corpses of those three pet dogs. Take a look and see if theres anything unusual, Qi Bei said, taking out the three dog corpses from his spatial ring.

Just from the black blood around the dogs mouths and eye sockets, it was evident that they had died from severe poisoning.

Feng Xianger took a glance. She exclaimed, and a red light shot from her fingertip onto the bloodstain at the corner of the dogs mouth. Suddenly, a faint black smoke emerged from the bloodstain.

Chirp chirp. Xiao Zis beak emitted a flash of lightning, directly striking the black smoke.

Dark magic potion it was disguised flawlessly, I almost didnt notice it, Feng Xiangers beautiful eyes emitted a cold light.

You go ahead, Ill find someone, Feng Xianger believed Qi Beis story completely. Her gaze was filled with murderous intent.

Having achieved his goal, Qi Bei wouldnt stay any longer. He disappeared with Xiao Zi from the window.

..

..

As the sky was about to brighten, the mansion of the Fourth Prince Lando remained in silence.

However, this silence was shattered with the influx of a large group of disciples.

Leading them was Feng Xianger, the junior palace master of the Phoenix Perching Palace. She not only brought disciples from the Phoenix Perching Palace but also disciples from the Frost Ice Valley and Beast Manor. In addition, there were priests from the Light Temple accompanying them.

Feng Xianger was determined in her purpose. Upon arrival, she headed straight for a few dark houses in the corner and, following the method Qi Bei had told her, found the entrance to the underground dungeon.

Upon entering, they encountered attacks from several skeletons.

This sudden attack was like stirring up a hornets nest. The disciples from the Frost Ice Valley and Beast Manor who had followed along were skeptical at first, but now they were completely convinced.

As a result, hundreds of disciples from the Holy Lands instantly swept through this stronghold of the dark faction. Within, they discovered many incredibly cruel torture methods and instruments, fueling their anger even more.

With such irrefutable evidence, the priests from the Light Temple immediately issued a signal, prompting the Knights prepared outside the palace to enter and apprehend the individuals.

By the break of dawn, news of the Fourth Prince Lando being escorted out of the palace by the Knights of Light Temple once again caused a commotion in the Golden Leaf Imperial City.

The Fourth Prince has joined the Dark faction. His mansion is a stronghold of the dark faction, and undead creatures are lurking inside.

Do you think that it was Prince Lando who kidnapped Princess Ming Yue and handed her over to the necromancer?

Its still too early to draw conclusions. The Light Temple only has suspicions for now.

Discussions were rampant in the imperial city, involving the dark faction, and it was not a trivial matter. Just look at the Nord familys involvement with the dark faction, causing the entire Nord family to be in turmoil. Now, the Fourth Prince Lando, who is highly sought after as the next emperor, has also become implicated, which will instantly create instability within the royal family.

Ordinary citizens only saw this much, but those in higher positions saw the deeper and more far-reaching consequences.

Both the Nord family and the royal family have become involved with the dark faction, which means that their power will undoubtedly be significantly weakened. The Golden Leaf Empire is no longer just a confrontation between the Nord family and the royal family; other forces may rise in the process.

In conclusion, it seems that the Golden Leaf Empire is going to be in turmoil for a while.
