Chapter 240: A Lifetime of Serving as a Minister (12
Situ Yao walked quickly along the stream, shouting as he walked, but in the entire forest, apart from the sound of flowing water, the only sounds of wild beasts responded to him.
He felt more and more uneasy, thinking about how the prince was spit out from the mouth of the mythical beast just now, covered in blood. What would he do if he fell and something happened ?
He walked a long way but found no clues. The forest here was deeper and more quiet.
Xuan Ye behind him came over at some point, squinting his eyes and looking around.
Because what disappeared were not only the Eight Desolate Divine Beasts and Wei Ning, but also Yun Zong.
"What are you doing here? If you are trying to murder the crown prince, don't even think about leaving the Qinglong Empire alive!"
Situ Yao turned around and looked straight at the man in blue robe, his voice full of resentment. Since he failed to find the prince, all his anger was vented on this enemy.
Xuan Ye glanced at him coldly, with a sarcastic arc on his lips, "How many people in the Qinglong Empire can stop the Netherworld?"
Situ Yao was stunned. He was not stupid, so of course he understood what he meant.
"Are you from the Underworld?"
Xuan Ye did not answer, but just walked forward. When he was sure that he could not find anything, he stopped.
It was quiet behind him. He turned around and saw Situ Yao standing under the thick shade of a tree. The light was dim and he couldn't see the expression on his face from a distance.
Xuan Ye had no interest in his expression. He snorted and left on his own.
Situ Yao stood there for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses.
"The Underworld..." He muttered to himself, full of unknown fear and disbelief.
No wonder, the prince went from being a weak and useless man to a shrewd prince who overthrew the regent, his strength rising almost like water, almost to the point of being on par with him.
Is all this the power of the underworld?
Your Highness, why are you involved with people from the Underworld?
The Regent obviously knew about this. He vaguely knew that this time the Regent left Haojing because he was delayed by the people from the Netherworld. That was then when the Prince had time to come back and use strategies to eliminate all the forces that were hindering him.
It was the people from the Netherworld who were helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
This terrible thought formed in Situ Yao's mind, and he was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses.
The underworld, the underworld!
Situ Jing stood at the edge of the valley, waiting anxiously. The sky gradually darkened and the fog in the valley slowly formed again. The situation below could no longer be seen clearly.
After a long time, she saw her brother slowly emerging from the black fog.
He is the only one...
Situ Jing couldn't help crying. Why did only her brother come back? Where was the prince?
"Brother, didn't you find her?"
Situ Yao shook his head dejectedly, his mind full of thoughts, his face looked very bad, but when he saw his sister's face full of tears, he still said hoarsely: "Your Highness the Crown Prince fell into the river below, and may have been washed down. I will return to the capital immediately to dispatch troops to search in this area. Don't worry, we will find him."
"Brother, will she, will something happen to her?" Situ Jing asked sadly.
" Your Highness the Crown Prince is a lucky person. She has finally put down the rebellion in the court. She is a smart person, don't worry." Situ Yao comforted in a hoarse voice.
Only he knew how dangerous that turbulent river was.
But he couldn't let his sister be sad.
