Chapter 548: Using Malevolent qi as Fuel! Dragon of Fate! Bronze-Faced Beast! Strange Father and Son!
Just like that, a massive rebellion had come to an unexpectedly abrupt end. And it concluded with the entire Prince Qing’s Mansion army surrendering.
This left everyone feeling that something was strangely off.
“Could it be that Prince Qing’s Mansion realized they couldn’t resist the court, and that’s why they fled?” Master Wuse speculated.
They had lost two Yang Spirit experts at Qingfeng Ridge. Across the world, Yang Spirit-level cultivators were incredibly rare, capable of wielding Day-Wandering Telekinetic Command or levitating freely. The deaths of two Yang Spirit experts might have shattered Prince Qing’s Mansion’s morale and exhausted all their hidden resources.
Xu Tiannan turned to Celestial Master Zhao.
“Celestial Master, can you divinely foresee the whereabouts of Prince Qing’s Mansion?”
Celestial Master Zhao of Mount Longhu specialized in divining and calculating divine secrets. A gleam of spiritual light flashed in Celestial Master Zhao’s eyes as he shook his head.
“Prince Qing’s Mansion conceals its divine secrets; someone has blocked it. Their whereabouts cannot be discerned.”
Xu Tiannan mused, “Before I arrived, Minister Wang told me that Prince Qing’s heir, Chen Ze, had fate like a dragon and liked to associate with extraordinary people. He warned me not to underestimate him... and yet, this guy pulled a move like this.”
The Minister Wang he referred to was Wang Lao'er, the head of the Court of Judicial Review in the Kingdom of Qian.
The group then split tasks. Xu Tiannan would deal with the surrendered troops, while Celestial Master Zhao and Master Baoshu would search Liang County for any traces.
Master Baoshu, a Buddhist Yang Spirit expert, possessed the Heart-Questioning Method; no one could lie in his presence.
