Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Lin Ran explained the situation, the empress said, “There’s blood on this jade token. It seems like it’s really urgent… Go back first. I’ll be there soon!”

“Yes!”

Lin Ran agreed and instantly rushed out of the imperial study. When he arrived in the courtyard, he rode his sword and flew towards Mingzhao Hall!

In less than five seconds, Lin Ran landed in the courtyard of Mingzhao Hall.

Huo Qiyun was sitting alone on the stone steps at the entrance of the hall. His plain clothes were stained with blood, and even his face was covered in blood. The strong smell of blood was almost nauseating!

Huo Qiyun frowned with a solemn expression, as if he was in great pain. He did not even notice Lin Ran’s arrival.

Lin Ran hurriedly used his divine sense to check, only to find that Huo Qiyun was not injured at all.

Puzzled, he quickly walked forward and asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a sorry state?”

Hearing the voice, Huo Qiyun finally came back to his senses. He looked up at Lin Ran and wanted to speak, but then he frowned and sighed. “I can’t explain it clearly. See for yourself.”

With that, Huo Qiyun stood up and went to the door. Just as he was about to push it open, he turned to look at Lin Ran. “The situation inside… is not good. You’d better prepare yourself.”

Lin Ran waved his hand to indicate that it was fine. Huo Qiyun took another deep breath and pushed the door open with a serious expression!

Red.

In Mingzhao Hall, there was a glaring scarlet color everywhere.

The thick smell of blood almost spewed out. Broken limbs and torn clothes covered almost every inch of the door. The once beautiful and quiet Mingzhao Hall had already become a purgatory on earth.

No matter how calm Lin Ran was, he couldn’t help but be stunned by such a tragic scene!

After a few minutes, Lin Ran came back to his senses and frowned at Huo Qiyun. “What’s going on? This place is not far from the imperial study. Why didn’t I notice a battle happening?”

Huo Qiyun’s eyes flickered. “There’s no battle here. There’s no internal energy fluctuation at all.”

Lin Ran looked puzzled. “If there was no battle, how did this place become like this?”

“Follow me.”

Huo Qiyun walked in, as if he was already used to this tragic scene.

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment outside the door before finally stepping over the threshold. The feeling under his feet was wet and sticky. Occasionally, he would step on someone’s limb or leg.

Staring at Huo Qiyun’s back, Lin Ran tried his best not to be affected by this scene. Soon, the two of them arrived at the back hall of Mingzhao Hall.

Previously, Huo Qiyun had captured five people from the state banquet. Among them, Zhao Taiping tried to sneak attack and was killed on the spot. The remaining four were brought to this place for interrogation.

Lin Ran thought that the scene in the back hall would be better. However, when he entered the back hall, he realized that the scene was even more tragic than outside!

Lin Ran asked Huo Qiyun, “Why did you bring me here?”

Huo Qiyun asked back, “Didn’t you notice anything wrong?”

“This place is even more tragic than the outside. It should be the first place where the accident happened.”

“Look closely.”

Lin Ran took another glance across the hall and realized that two of the four prisoners had gone missing.

Only a man and a woman were left behind in a corner. Their faces were covered in blood. Lin Ran could only recognize Zhou Zhiqing, whom he had just questioned. As for the other, he couldn’t recognize him at all.

“Where are they? Why are there two missing?”

Lin Ran asked subconsciously, but he saw Huo Qiyun smile strangely and spin his finger a few times. “They are everywhere.”

“Everywhere?”

Lin Ran muttered to himself and was shocked. “Are you saying that those two people exploded and died?”

Huo Qiyun nodded. “You asked me to continue investigating, so I interrogated them again and asked them about Supreme Mo.”

“The first person I interrogated was Liu Fangxia from Silver Cave. When I asked about Supreme Mo, she first said that she didn’t know, but I realized that she was obviously hiding something, so I used some methods.”

“In the end, she still gave in. It turned out that she had also eavesdropped on Liu Yuntao and Supreme Mo’s conversation last night. However, she was not as lucky as Zhou Zhiqing. After eavesdropping for a while, she was caught by them on the spot.”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. “In that case, she must know what Supreme Mo looks like.”

Huo Qiyun nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of fear, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying. “I asked her to describe Supreme Mo’s appearance, but just as she was about to answer, suddenly…”

Halfway through, Huo Qiyun suddenly stopped and raised his hand to make an explosion gesture. “At that time, I didn’t understand what was going on, so I continued to interrogate Huang Sanfeng.”

“As expected, when he opened his eyes and saw this hellish scene, he was immediately frightened out of his wits. I only scared him a little and he confessed everything.”

Lin Ran thought for a moment and made a guess, “Let me guess. He also overheard the conversation between Liu Yuntao and Supreme Mo and was caught on the spot. But when he was about to describe Supremo Mo, his body exploded and he died?”

Huo Qiyun nodded. “But this time, I sensed the explosion coming and quickly slapped him into the outer hall at the last moment. However, I don’t dare to interrogate the remaining two.”

“Then you might as well let him explode here. If the palace servants in charge of cleaning see this, they will definitely curse you behind your back.”

Lin Ran casually joked to ease the atmosphere and analyzed seriously, “The timing of their deaths is too coincidental.”

“I think it’s most likely Liu Yuntao or Supreme Mo had cast some kind of restriction on their bodies. Once they want to reveal Supreme Mo’s identity, their bodies will explode and they’ll die.”

“That’s what I thought, but it’s wrong.”

Huo Qiyun denied Lin Ran’s guess. “After Liu Fangxia died, I thought of this. However, after my examination, I found no restrictions on the bodies of the remaining three people, but Huang Sanfeng still died.”

“No restrictions?”

Lin Ran found it hard to believe when he heard that.

If the restriction existed, then everything could be explained. However, if there was no restriction, why would Liu Fangxia and Huang Sanfeng explode and die for the same reason? Could it be a coincidence?
