Chapter 195 Turmoil
This explains why he possesses such sinister magic, the ability to capture souls, and the skill to raise ghost willows. Because all of these were originally cultivated by that ancient cultivator.
"You two, go and see who's up ahead!"
"Yes!"
The ones who arrived were the patrolling soldiers who had just been attracted by the sounds of fighting in the Sixth Prince's residence, and General Elu of the Moyun Kingdom.
The two soldiers who came to check were carrying lanterns. They carefully walked forward and examined the person lying on the ground by the light.
A moment later, one of the soldiers ran over, saluted Elu, and replied, "Reporting to the general, the man lying on the ground ahead is none other than Bai Ke, the young master of Tian Ce Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Elu asked in surprise, "Why would someone from the Tiance Palace appear at the Sixth Prince's residence so late at night? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"General, you can't be mistaken! I saw him last time when Young Master Bai competed with you, the Second Prince, and the head of the guards at the martial arts arena."
I've never seen anyone so skilled in martial arts as Young Master Bai, so there's absolutely no way I'd mistake him!"
These words only made the atmosphere grow colder. General Elu's expression turned grim.
The soldier who reported back realized he had said the wrong thing and was filled with regret, almost to the point of tears. "You idiot! Why did you have to bring up such a sore subject? You've offended the General. You'll regret it later!"
"Ahem, since you know that Young Master Bai, then the person lying in front must be him. There must be something fishy about him lying in the Sixth Prince's residence for no reason tonight, and making such a commotion just now."
"You! Go to the post station and invite the elder of Tian Ce Palace here. I'd like to know what exactly is going on with that Tian Ce Palace disciple here in the middle of the night!"
"Yes!" The soldier who had misspoke earlier accepted the order and, not daring to delay any longer, hurried toward the post station.
"You few, go fetch a basin of cold water and splash this young master Bai awake. I want to interrogate him properly!" Just as the soldiers were about to obey the order, a voice came from behind them.
"General, you have quite the airs, actually wanting to interrogate our senior brother. Could it be that you don't respect the disciples of Tian Ce Palace?" The one who spoke was Su Ziyuan, who was walking towards them.
Su Ziyuan and the others were waiting peacefully outside when they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.
Just as they were about to bring people in to investigate and help Bai Ke, the group from Elu heard the commotion and also headed this way.
Fearing they would be discovered and unable to explain themselves, they could only wait and see what happened from outside. When they saw a soldier suddenly emerge from the mansion and head towards the post station, they could no longer remain still.
"Oh, it's you guys! Hehe, don't misunderstand, I only brought people here because I heard fighting."
To their surprise, they found Young Master Bai lying unconscious on the ground. Wanting to find out what happened, they decided to wake him up and find out what was going on.
"I don't want the young lady and everyone to misunderstand, I'm really sorry!" E Lu explained with a cupped hand and a smile to Su Ziyuan and the others who had just arrived.
"Oh~ it seems we misunderstood the general. Since the general meant no harm, then let's skip the cold water. Our senior brother can't afford the hospitality of your Moyun Kingdom."
"We will wake our senior brother ourselves, no need for you, General!" After saying that, Su Ziyuan told the other disciples to stand guard, and then walked to Bai Ke's side.
Seeing Bai Ke lying unconscious on the ground, Su Ziyuan frowned with worry. She cast a spell with her palm, channeling spiritual energy into Bai Ke's body.
A short while later, Bai Ke opened his eyes and woke up.
"Senior Brother, how are you?"
Bai Ke felt a throbbing pain in his head, as if it were being torn apart, but thankfully he could still bear it. He waved his hand and replied, "I'm fine, I just accidentally fell into the Sixth Prince's trap."
He captivated Lin Xiu, causing him to lose his mind, and then used that same soul-capturing technique against me, trying to possess his body. Perhaps that's why I fainted.
Su Ziyuan was astonished. "Possession? Isn't she the Sixth Prince?! How could she possess someone with such a sinister and evil method!"
"This matter..."
"Young Master Bai!" Bai Ke was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice, which came from General E Lu.
"Now that Young Master Bai has awakened, why don't you explain to me why you're here in the Sixth Prince's residence in the middle of the night?"
We've just searched the whole area, but we haven't found the Sixth Prince. Could you please tell us all about this?
"You..." Su Ziyuan was about to lash out after hearing E Lu's words when Bai Ke stopped her and gave her a wink.
Then he smiled innocently, stood up, stepped forward and said, "General Elu asked why I am here in the middle of the night. Of course, it is because your sixth prince has kidnapped my junior brother Lin Xiu, intending to cultivate evil arts."
When I discovered him, I started fighting with your sixth prince, and I was accidentally injured, which is why I fell unconscious and only woke up when you found me.
"Nonsense! How could the Sixth Prince of Moyun Kingdom want to arrest your junior brother for no reason! Not to mention anything about practicing evil arts."
Young Master Bai, you have dared to slander our prince! Even if you are a disciple of the Tian Ce Palace, I'm afraid the people of Mo Yun Kingdom will not stand in your way!
"Oh? Then tell me, why would I bother to slander your Sixth Prince? It wouldn't do me any good! As for practicing evil arts, I have evidence!"
As he spoke, Bai Ke turned around and looked behind him. There, in the circular array formed by Bai Ke's playing cards, was Lin Xiu, who was trapped.
Lin Xiu was too exhausted to struggle any longer. He lay sprawled out in the circular formation with his eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.
"How about that? You all saw it. The reason my junior brother was trapped in the formation was because he was possessed by the Sixth Prince and controlled to attack me."
Because I couldn't hurt him, I was restricted in my actions and couldn't do anything during the process. I had no choice but to trap him.
"I'm not going to come to the Sixth Prince's residence in the middle of the night, lock my junior brother up, and then challenge your Sixth Prince to a duel, am I? I'm not stupid, am I?"
"Hmph! How can you draw conclusions based on just your words! After all, it is a fact that you appeared in the Sixth Prince's residence in the middle of the night."
The Sixth Prince is nowhere to be found; the entire manor has been searched inside and out, but he hasn't been found. That's a fact. As for your junior brother, who knows!
Maybe this is all part of your scheme. Whether your junior brother's story is true or false is not something you can decide just by talking!
Bai Ke, you're highly suspicious right now, so it's probably not convenient for you to return to the inn for the time being. Therefore, I'll have to ask you to come with me to the imperial prison!
