Chapter 449 - 298: Eight Meridians Perfected! Nine Meridians Born!

"..." Every word struck heavily on Luu Xi’s heart, "Lord Xie."

"Before the Golden Hundred Knowledge Grand Competition, you must stay here with me and are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Dismiss."

"Yes."

Luu Xi withdrew.

"Sha Ying." Zuo Yuan turned to the left.

From the shadows, a person with a black mask and red-black skin emerged.

"Master."

"Why is that illegitimate son still alive?"

"Reporting to you, Lord, the assassination attempt by the Shadow Tower failed."

"Hmm?!" Zuo Yuan’s eyes flared, "The assassination attempt by the Shadow Tower failed? What level of assassin did you hire?"

"I hired a strong person at the Late Stage of the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm with a great treasure, but it still failed."

Sha Ying said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, the Shadow Tower’s Yongping Yiguan contact point was completely wiped out."

"..."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

"The Blood Evil Sect has sent numerous experts to kill this illegitimate son, all ending in failure. Rumors say there is a supreme force protecting him."

"A supreme force? How strong could it be? Not at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm?!" Zuo Yuan was furious.

"..."

After a moment.

Zuo Yuan suppressed his anger and continued, "However, it’s too late to talk about this now. Luu Shizhong has already been captured by the Regent’s Mansion, undoubtedly due to evidence provided by the illegitimate son."

"The most urgent matter now is to quickly silence Luu Shizhong!"

"Understood."

"This must be done cleanly, without a single mistake!"

"Yes, I will personally lead a team to the Regent’s Mansion dungeon."

"Hmm, eliminate all the death warriors you take with you."

"Yes."

"Moreover, the East Suburb Hunt is about to begin. This year, His Majesty will personally attend and has specifically asked for the Prime Minister to accompany. What do you think about this?"

"..." Sha Ying paused, thinking briefly, "It’s best to prepare early, His Majesty is inherently suspicious."

Zuo Yuan nodded slightly, "Therefore, we must hurry and silence Luu Shizhong, then relocate whatever can be moved... "

"..."

...

Pei Mansion, a secluded dark room.

Grand Commandant Pei Qing sat at the top, wearing armor, his expression stern.

Beside him was his trusted assistant, Left Imperial Guard Pei Fu.

Below, knelt a person, pale-faced and in wretched condition.

"Pei Chuan, tell me in detail what happened during the raid on the Spirit Contract Race!" Pei Fu demanded sharply.

The person kneeling was Pei Chuan, the Deputy Cavalry Captain of the Huang Forbidden Army, deliberately released by Chu Ming at Xiqu Bay.

"M-master... it was the Wolf Race! It’s the Wolf Race!"

"The Wolf Race’s wolfish ambition, Captain Pei Qin and Vice Captain Pei Hu were killed by the Wolf Race. I barely escaped with my life."

"The Wolf Race?!" Pei Qing’s gaze turned sharp, "Are you sure it’s the Wolf Race?"

"I’m sure!" Pei Chuan’s voice was almost crying, "That person, using a wolf transformation, wore a Wolf Patterned Crown, and killed Captain Pei Qin!"

Wolf Transformation? Wolf Patterned Crown?

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing and Pei Fu frowned.

The former can only be performed by the Wolf Race, and the latter can only be used by tribesmen of the Wolf Race after a wolf transformation.

The simultaneous appearance of these two can only mean that it was indeed the Wolf Race who killed Pei Qin and Pei Hu, and no one else could imitate it!

"Wolf Race!" Pei Fu’s expression turned fierce, "Brother, the Wolf Race dares to break their promise!"

"Pei Qin and Pei Hu cannot die in vain, the Wolf Race must pay for this!"

Grand Commandant Pei Qing’s face was equally gloomy, he was silent for a moment and said, "Pei Fu, with the East Suburb Hunt approaching, His Majesty is going in person this year to hunt the Auspicious Beast, I cannot break away."

"You take Pei Chuan to see Big Brother Pei Yan and get to the bottom of this!"

"Rest assured, Brother, I will make sure to find out the truth, and if Big Brother Pei Yan knows about this, he will also ensure the Wolf Race pays the price!"

"Hmm, by the way, also inform them about His Majesty’s personal attendance at the East Suburb Hunt, and hear Big Brother Pei Yan’s plan."

"Yes."

"..."

...

Blood Evil Sect, underground Blood Chamber.

"Sect Leader." Blood Servant Pei Yan arrived hurriedly, wearing a blood-colored mask.

Blood churned, and a cold voice echoed from the blood pool, "What is the matter?"

"Sect Leader, the clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race couldn’t be seized." Pei Yan suppressed his inner rage.

"Oh?"

Splash...

A figure in a blood robe slowly emerged from the blood pool, blood energy stirred, shaking the entire Blood Chamber.

"Did the Huang Forbidden Army seize it?" Blood Evil commanded from above.

"Not the Huang Forbidden Army, but the Wolf Race!"

"Hmm?" The Sect Leader of the Blood Evil Sect furrowed his brow, a terrifying pressure instantly weighed upon Pei Yan, "If the Wolf Race obtained it, then why do you say the clan treasure couldn’t be seized?"

"Sect Leader..." Pei Yan’s heart trembled, unable to restrain his anger, "The Wolf Race devoured the clan treasure secretly!"

"..."

After the words fell, the Blood Chamber fell into a strange, oppressive silence.

For a long time.

"Speak, what happened?"

"Sect Leader, ever since breaking through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, the Wolf Race has become more arrogant. This time, they even allowed their tribesmen to kill two Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm strong persons from my Pei Family and brazenly seize the clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race that the Master desires!"

"The Wolf Race killed strong persons of your Pei Family?" Blood Evil frowned again, tone cold, "Bring Wolf Race to see me!"

He had only three strong persons at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm under him, and Wolf Race was one he valued the most, so he had always turned a blind eye.

But this time, if it was true that the Wolf Race killed strong persons of the Pei Family and seized the clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race, then he must take severe action.

The clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race was not for him, but for the Master of North Snow behind him, as a backup in case the Golden Silk Feather Robe for the Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration could not be completed.

Before long.

The current Clan Leader of the Wolf Race, Wolf Race, arrived at the Blood Chamber.

"Master." Wolf Race bowed.

"Is the clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race with you?" Blood Evil asked coldly.

Swish!

Wolf Race suddenly looked at Pei Yan beside him, "Master, was the clan treasure of the Spirit Contract Race not seized by the Huang Forbidden Army?"

"Information was incorrect, Pei Blood Servant stated that not only did the Huang Forbidden Army dispatch two groups of Cavalry Captains to pursue, but they secretly dispatched a Cyan Flame Demon Wolf!"
