“Reporting to the Sovereign… the Twelfth Young Master’s life lamp has extinguished!” Xiang Yu said, trembling and too afraid to look up.
Fu Chaqiu was the son that Fu Chashu valued the most.
The news of Fu Chaqiu's death, one of Fu Chashu's most valued sons, was like a bolt from the blue for him.
Fu Chashu’s face turned red, his whole body trembling, tears streaming down his face as he cried out, “No!!”
“Pu!”
With his heart wrenched in agony, Fu Chashu spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Sovereign, you must take care of yourself!” Xiang Yu said, wiping his tears while offering comfort.
“Take care of myself?” Fu Chashu’s face was flushed with anger, “In just over two months, I have lost two sons. How can I take care of myself!”
“Qiu'er was a child I valued greatly!”
Fu Chashu roared, “Who is the murderer? Why did they kill my child!”
At this moment, Xiang Yu spoke in a low voice, “Sovereign, the Sixteenth Young Master should have been in the Inner Sect when he died, so I suspect the murderer is someone from our Eastern Continent Divine Sect!”
“Also, the Inner Sect Elder Cheng Kun has been hiding his talents for many years, and only now has begun to reveal his abilities in managing the Inner Sect.”
“Now, all the disciples of the Inner Sect worship Cheng Kun. Since the Sixteenth Young Master may have died in the Inner Sect, why not let Cheng Kun be responsible for finding the murderer? Perhaps he might discover some clues!”
Upon hearing this, the grief-stricken Fu Chashu said, “Then let’s temporarily assign this to Cheng Kun. Tell him, as the Sovereign, I command him to find the murderer within seven days!”
“As the Inner Sect Elder, it is very likely that my Qiu'er died in the Inner Sect, and he cannot escape responsibility.”
“Tell him that if he cannot find the murderer in seven days, he must come to me with his head! If he can find them, he will be generously rewarded!”
After receiving the order, Xiang Yu hurriedly left the hall...
Inside the hall, Fu Chashu clutched his chest, his heart feeling like it was being cut with a knife, “If I find the murderer, they shall have no place to bury their body!”
...
The next day, as the sun rose.
Yu Yunxi returned to Kunin Mountain. From Long Yue, she learned that Tan Yun was in the Treasure Hall.
Upon entering the Treasure Hall, Yu Yunxi seemed to witness something unbelievable, “Wow, so many Ancestor Stones!”
In Yu Yunxi's sight, the Treasure Hall, which contained the Mustard Seed Space, was filled with piles of Ancestor Stones, towering like mountains.
There were low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and Supreme Ancestor Stones among them.
Hearing a familiar voice, Tan Yun turned back, looking at Yu Yunxi as he waved his right arm, causing the hall doors to thunderously close.
Then, Yu Yunxi told Tan Yun about the warning she received from Fang Long regarding the Law Enforcement Elder of the Elite Sect.
“By the way, Tan Yun.” Yu Yunxi asked, “On my way back, I heard that the Sixteenth Young Master, Fu Chaqiu, has died, and the Sovereign is furious. You killed him, right?”
“Of course.” Tan Yun smiled.
“You didn’t leave any clues when you killed him, right?” Yu Yunxi asked, her heart racing.
“Are you still worried about my work?” Tan Yun’s lips curled into a faint smile, a confident expression.
“Hmm.” Yu Yunxi smiled, “Oh right, how many Ancestor Stones are here?”
Tan Yun couldn’t hide the excitement in his eyes, “If converted into Supreme Ancestor Stones, it reaches one hundred and ten trillion, far beyond my expectations.”
“With these Ancestor Stones, we can say that from now on, we will no longer need Ancestor Stones.”
Yu Yunxi smiled, “Actually, having so many Ancestor Stones here is quite normal because these Ancestor Stones relate to the monthly salaries of five hundred billion Inner Sect disciples and one trillion Outer Sect disciples.”
“Hmm.” Just as Tan Yun nodded, the voice of Long Yue came from outside the hall, “Master, Elder Xiang has arrived!”
