Sweeping

At this moment, the Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion was really panicking.


Before, he was just afraid of being implicated, but now a big hat was put on his head, which caught him off guard.


"Humph! Now the evidence is as strong as a mountain, you still dare to quibble? Do you really want me to punish you?!" Thorian shouted.


"Little Prince! I am truly innocent!"


The Grand Master of Tianzhang Pavilion was so scared that he almost cried. He held up three fingers and said, "I can swear that if I get involved in Zhengjun Duncan's murder, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and will never recover!"


"If swearing is useful, what is the use of the law enforcement team?"


Thorian said coldly, "Since you are an old minister of West Lucozia, I will give you a chance to confess and let you go. If you tell the truth about your crime, otherwise, don't blame me for sending you to hell!"


Hearing the word hell, Tianzhang Pavilion's Grand Secretary trembled all over, crying and shouting: "Little Prince! I really didn't do anything. Which bastard slandered me? I can confront him in court!"


"Why, you want to know the name of the person who reported it? Are you going to kill him to silence him?!" Thorian glared.


"I dare not! I am really wronged! Little Prince, you are very observant, don't listen to the slander of villains!" Tianzhang Pavilion's Grand Secretary continued to cry.


"The informant is highly respected and of noble status. I believe what he says." Thorian said.


Hearing this, the Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "Little Prince! Could it be that General Longwei reported me? That bastard deliberately framed me, right?"


"The general is upright. If there is no solid evidence, how could he report you?" Thorian said.


"Okay! It turned out to be that bastard who framed me!" The Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion looked sad and angry.


When he saw General Longwei talking and laughing with Wang Mang from the law enforcement team before, he had already had doubts.


Later, he became even more suspicious when he heard the guards of the palace say that the young prince was going to host a banquet for General Longwei.


But at first, he didn't think anything bad.


Now he realized that General Longwei was trying to divert the blame and put the crime of murdering General Duncan on him.


"You bastard! Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"


The Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion gritted his teeth, completely lost his scruples, and started to expose the truth on the spot: "Little Prince, I know how Zhengjun Duncan died!


General Longwei is talking nonsense. The real murderer who killed Zhengjun Duncan is him and the general of the city guards!


They colluded with each other and tried to force out some secrets, so will attack Zhengjun Duncan.


If the little prince wants to punish them, he should start with these two bastards! "


Hearing this, Thorian deliberately frowned: "You are not trying to shirk responsibility and deliberately slander them, right?"


"Little prince! I can bet my life and property on it. What I just said is true. If there is even a lie, I am willing to lose my head!" The Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion spoke every word.


"The general said you are the murderer, and now you want to report him? Then, who should I believe?" Thorian looked hesitant.


"If you don't believe me, you can call that bastard here. I am willing to confront him in court!" The Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion said with a firm face.


"What's the point of confrontation? You both have your own story, and it's endless. In the end, this matter requires evidence."


Thorian said in a serious tone: "You pointed out that the general and the city guard general harmed Zhengjun Duncan. May I ask if you have any evidence? Or a witness will do."


"Evidence?"


The Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion was slightly startled. After a little thought, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Little Prince! I know several of their secret bases and several hidden lines. As long as we follow these clues, we will definitely find some clues!"


"What if we can't find it?" Thorian raised his eyebrows.


"Then I will voluntarily accept the punishment!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was completely determined.


Since General Longwei and the general of the city guards betrayed him, he would never show mercy. At worst, both sides would be destroyed.


"Wang Mang, you take the Grand Secretary to investigate immediately. Once you get any news, report it immediately!" Thorian winked at the side.


"Yes, sir!"


Wang Mang responded, and then left quickly with the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion.


The previous investigation by the law enforcement team did not have a clear solution, and with officials protecting each other, no results could be found in a short time.


Now, with the Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion as an insider, everything has become easy.


Obstacles have become helpers, and hidden lines have become open lines.


There are also some unknown secrets, including the preferences and weaknesses of General Longwei and the City Guards General. Anyway, the Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion has revealed everything that can be said and cannot be said.


It seems that it is either you die or I die.


With the full help of the Grand Scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion, the law enforcement team of the palace began to sweep everywhere and arrest people.


The dirty transactions between General Longwei and the City Guards General, as well as various shady deals, were all swept away.


Even the heinous crimes that the two had committed before were all exposed one by one. - Marinien

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...

The Swarm of Man-Eating Fish

Dustin landed lightly back on the shattered deck, the golden glow on his longsword gradually fading. Across the sea’s surface, dark green blood floated in thick patches, slowly dispersing in the rain. Far in the distance, the typhoon had vanished without warning. A gap opened in the clouds, allowing sunlight to break through at last, casting warm rays onto the ravaged Wavebreaker . Margaret steadied herself against the swaying rail, gazing out at the now-calm sea, a long sigh of relief escaping her lips. That octopus demon just now had the power of an Ultimate Grandmaster --- its enormous body and terrifying regenerative abilities made it nearly invincible. Even most Ultimate Grandmasters wouldn’t stand a chance against such a monster. Thankfully, they had Dustin. If he hadn't been there, who knows how many lives would have been lost? At last, the sea had calmed, and the storm was receding. The Wavebreaker floated gently atop the waves. The deck was in ruins, littered ...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...
