Chapter 102: Terrified

Terrified

Actually, like many people present, Nie Jinxuan didn't understand the competition just now. But looking at Yin Fengzhan's expression and movements, Nie Jinxuan was very certain that something must have happened just now!

Therefore, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, but only Nie Jinxuan herself knew that, actually, compared to wanting to know what Yin Fenglian had said to him, she wanted to know more about whether the wound on his leg was hurting, or if he had been injured just now!

But Nie Jinxuan couldn't say such things, nor was she embarrassed to say them, so she could only ask what had happened!

At this moment, hearing Nie Jinxuan's questioning, Yin Fengzhan's already cold expression sank a few more degrees.

"You don't need to know!"

Yin Fengzhan spoke coldly. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan's eyes widened instantly.

"You... fine, consider me meddlesome!"

Nie Jinxuan was so angry she couldn't speak. After speaking, she turned her head to the side and said nothing more. At this moment, watching Nie Jinxuan's angry appearance, Yin Fengzhan couldn't help but purse his lips slightly, looked up at Yin Fenglian, who was talking to others opposite, and then picked up the wine cup on the table again and drank it in one gulp!

After the martial arts and drinking competition, the banquet was nearing its end. Because of the previous incident, Prince Yun, Yin Fengzhan, and Prince Gong, Yin Fengxuan, were secretly competing with each other, Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan sat in silence, and even the Crown Prince, Yin Fenghan, unexpectedly didn't say a word!

The atmosphere was a bit strange. The people present were peeking at each other, wanting to get to the bottom of it. Just then, Emperor Shuncheng, who was sitting in the high seat, suddenly put down his wine cup.

"Actually, I chose to hold the Spring Sacrifice earlier this time because I accidentally obtained a treasure a few days ago!"

Emperor Shuncheng shouted. Upon hearing "treasure," everyone present was stunned, and then heard Yin Fengxuan, who couldn't hold back his words, shout:

"A treasure?! What treasure?"

Yin Fengxuan was an impatient person. At this moment, except for Yin Fengxuan, everyone else present, although they didn't speak, felt the same way. Hearing this, Emperor Shuncheng pursed his lips and continued:

"Actually, speaking of this treasure, there is some origin... I wonder if anyone here knows about the 'Blood Wolf'?"

Emperor Shuncheng mentioned the "Blood Wolf." Hearing this, the crowd below whispered to each other, but then shook their heads. Just then, the Crown Prince, Yin Fenghan, who had been silent, suddenly laughed.

"Hehe~, the Blood Wolf Father Emperor mentioned, could it be that legendary divine beast!"

"Divine beast? Big Brother, what divine beast?"

"It is the divine beast from ancient legends! It is said that in the Tiancheng Kingdom to the north, there is a very magical wild beast, shaped like a wolf, formed like a tiger, with golden pupils, and its whole body is as bright as blood, so it is called the Blood Wolf! Besides its unique appearance, the Blood Wolf's blood has the effect of being immune to all poisons..."

Yin Fengjin couldn't help but ask. Then Yin Fenghan told everyone what he had heard earlier. But as he spoke, Yin Fenghan laughed again and changed the subject.

"However, this is just a legend of Tiancheng. Whether this Blood Wolf really exists is unknown! After all, a wolf shaped like a tiger, with a blood-red body and golden eyes, and even blood that can be immune to all poisons... Hehe, I suppose it can only exist in legends... *Cough cough*..."

Yin Fenghan spoke proudly, but before he could finish, he suddenly coughed. Instantly, Yin Fenghan's face looked a bit ugly, and he covered his mouth, saying nothing more.

Yin Fenghan's actions were inexplicable. Just when everyone was confused, a voice filled with laughter intervened:

"Big Imperial Brother's words are wrong! Although legends cannot be fully believed, they cannot be completely disbelieved either!"

The person who spoke was Prince Qin, Yin Fenglian. As soon as Yin Fenglian's words fell, it drew everyone's attention. Yin Fenglian turned his eyes to look at Yin Fenghan, whose face was ugly, and then continued:

"Moreover, even if it is a legend, Big Imperial Brother seems to have forgotten something! For example, the Blood Wolf is human-like and understands human language..."

"Hmph, Fifth Imperial Brother, it seems you know quite a bit! Could it be that you have seen it before?"

Yin Fengjin stood out to speak for Yin Fenghan. But as soon as he finished speaking, it made Yin Fenglian laugh, but then his laughter stopped.

"Hehe... Third Imperial Brother really knows how to speak. That's right, I haven't seen the Blood Wolf, but some of my Jianghu friends have! It is said that more than twenty years ago, the Central Plains Jianghu experienced a catastrophe. At that time, the Regent of the Qifeng Kingdom, Feng Jiutian, colluded with Jianghu scoundrels. After the Jianghu conference that year, he sent people to ambush the Shaolin and Wudang sects on their way back, as well as all the prestigious major sects in the Jianghu at that time, all for the sake of the Dan Book Iron Scroll, to find the legendary treasure of the Cang Kingdom!"

"What exactly happened at that time, I don't know, but it is said to be very tragic. The major sects were suddenly attacked, the Shaolin and Wudang sects, the leaders of the Jianghu, were almost wiped out, not to mention the other sects! But just at this time, someone stood out, and that was the Mingye Palace!"

"What Mingye Palace is, I suppose everyone present doesn't know very well. Actually, I don't know very well either, but it is said that twenty years ago, Mingye Palace was one of the most mysterious and powerful gangs in the Jianghu. So in the end, with the help of Mingye Palace, Feng Jiutian's conspiracy was defeated, allowing the Central Plains Jianghu to continue... And at that time, there were rumors that someone saw the Blood Wolf during the bloody battle!"

"Of course, these are things from twenty years ago. It wouldn't be surprising if someone was talking nonsense. But the key is that in the twenty years since then, there have been rumors in the Jianghu that someone saw the Blood Wolf. And among these people, there are many who I am familiar with, or who I am certain would not lie..."

"So, Third Imperial Brother, I haven't seen the Blood Wolf. But I can be certain whether it exists! Moreover, if there really is no Blood Wolf in this world, why would Father Emperor bring it up here?! Could it be that Third Imperial Brother feels that Father Emperor just wants to take us for a fool... Hmm? Father Emperor, Father Emperor feels that what I said is right, right!"

Yin Fenglian spoke about the rumors he heard in the Jianghu. As he spoke, he smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Yin Fengjin, whose face was ugly, and then looked directly at Emperor Shuncheng, who was sitting in the main seat.

Jinghong Xiaozhu was silent; everyone was stunned by Yin Fenglian's words. At this moment, hearing Yin Fenglian's words, Emperor Shuncheng looked at him.

"Fifth Son is right! Although the Blood Wolf is a divine beast in legends, it does indeed exist. And as far as I know, the current owner of the Blood Wolf has a great relationship with the Tiancheng Imperial family. Therefore, a few days ago, when the Tiancheng Kingdom sent people to revise the national letter, they brought me a treasure, which is the Blood Pill made from the blood of the Blood Wolf!"

Something made from the blood of the Blood Wolf is naturally immune to all poisons. Therefore, hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, since Emperor Shuncheng could say this, he naturally wouldn't just be talking. After he finished speaking, Emperor Shuncheng continued:

"And there are only two Blood Pills in total. I kept one for backup. The other one is prepared to be gifted to one of the people who came to participate in the Spring Sacrifice! But there are many people participating in the Spring Sacrifice, so I thought of a way..."

As he spoke, Emperor Shuncheng smiled rarely.

"That is, I put the remaining Blood Pill inside a river clam, and that river clam is now placed in the Lingxi Pond next to us! So, whoever can find the river clam containing the Blood Pill in a while, the Blood Pill will belong to them!"

Emperor Shuncheng's words undoubtedly gave everyone present hope. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Shuncheng finished speaking, some people couldn't wait to run to Lingxi Pond!

But at this moment, Nie Jinxuan, who was sitting in her seat, was shocked in her heart.

Lingxi Pond is located next to Jinghong Xiaozhu. It is not large, but the water is very clear. Precisely because of this, many ornamental pebbles and colored glaze were placed at the bottom of the pond, and a group of small fish and shrimp swam in it, which was quite interesting!

But at this very moment, standing by Lingxi Pond, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but shudder in her heart! At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh: Emperor Shuncheng is indeed an old fox!

Because everything that happened tonight had only one purpose, and that was to find the person who broke into the palace that night!

Moreover, it was very clear that Emperor Shuncheng already knew that the person who broke into the palace that night was injured!

Therefore, Emperor Shuncheng first temporarily changed the banquet from Ju Feng Tang to Jinghong Xiaozhu, because it was close to Lingxi Pond. After arriving here, he used the excuse of a martial arts and drinking competition, because Emperor Shuncheng knew that the Crown Prince, Yin Fenghan, and Yin Fengjin were at odds with Yin Fengzhan. Therefore, as long as he mentioned martial arts, Yin Fenghan and the others would definitely challenge Yin Fengzhan!

In this way, Yin Fengzhan, who was injured in the martial arts competition, would naturally reveal his flaws. Even if he didn't reveal his flaws, the intense exercise of the martial arts competition would cause the wound to split! Then, as long as the wound touched water, the blood would naturally stain it, and in such a clear Lingxi Pond, wouldn't it be...

Yes, Emperor Shuncheng had this purpose; he wanted to make Yin Fengzhan unable to argue. Even, thinking about it this way, this Spring Sacrifice itself was to find Yin Fengzhan!

Therefore, thinking of this, Nie Jinxuan became a little scared and turned to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her. But just then, before Nie Jinxuan could speak, she heard Emperor Shuncheng, who had also followed, shout:

"Fourth Son, Fifth Son, why aren't you going into the water? Could it be that you don't want the Blood Pill anymore?!"
