Chapter 196 The mysterious man appears

Without further delay, Feng Huan traveled all the way back to the imperial capital and immediately found Patriarch Fang.

"what's the situation?"

"Master Yue, when I first came back, I didn't find anything. Those people were just like usual, completing their tasks according to the family's arrangement. Until a few days ago, the elder of the clan who had been silent sneaked out in the middle of the night."

"His cultivation level was higher than mine, so I didn't dare to follow him directly to avoid being discovered by him. I used the method you taught me to sense his position changes through my spiritual sense and followed him from a distance. I found that he entered the palace of the high priest Huang Hualong. But I didn't dare to follow him in, so I didn't know what was going on inside. He stayed in there for about half an hour and then went back directly."

"It's Huang Hualong again. Could he be related to the people in that little house?" Feng Huan pondered. "Since you are involved, don't blame me for being rude. I'll take this opportunity to get some interest first."

"Have you told anyone else about this?"

"No, this matter is very serious. I haven't told anyone. Master Yue will decide how to deal with it."

"Well, you report this matter to the royal family through Hao Wusha, and let the royal family decide how to deal with it. After all, this is related to the safety of the Shangming Empire, and it also involves important officials and high priests in the court. This is also their responsibility for the innocent deaths."

"Yes, Master Yue!"

Then, Patriarch Fang sent a message to Hao Wusha in front of Feng Huan and briefly explained the whole matter.

"Huang Hualong! Okay, I will handle it. Thank you for your hard work, Master Fang." Hao Wusha had no extra words. His simple reply revealed endless coldness.

Not long after, Hao Wusha contacted Feng Huan and told him that he had some clues about the life and death incident. They were ready to take action immediately and might need his help. Feng Huan readily agreed.

This kind of thing can be solved by force and the royal family can handle it themselves, without Feng Huan's intervention. However, the subsequent interrogation will most likely still have to rely on Feng Huan's mind-boggling pills.

Feng Huan wanted to remind him about the situation of the small house, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. After all, he had no reason to know these things, and if this person caused some damage to the Hao family, he would also be happy to see it.

The royal family could not tolerate such things, so they acted very swiftly. First, thousands of city guards surrounded the high priest's mansion, and then the Hao family's ancestor Ming Lao was suspended in mid-air, controlling the overall situation and not wanting to let anyone go.

This move by the royal family immediately caused anxiety among the major forces in the imperial capital, and they all went to check it out. Feng Huan also followed these people and stayed on the periphery. This opportunity might be able to expose the mysterious person in the small house. Perhaps all this was planned by that person.

"Master Ming, what do you mean?" Such a big fuss had already alarmed Huang Hualong. When Master Feng Ming appeared, he also flew into the air and questioned Master Ming directly.

"Don't you know why?" Old Ming asked coldly with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I, Huang Hualong, have worked hard for the empire, and I know for sure that I have never done anything to let the empire and the Hao family down." Huang Hualong acted loyal, but his tone was full of displeasure.

"Oh, really? That's great. If that's the case, you should just come back with me obediently and don't even think about resisting. I will find out everything. If it has nothing to do with you, I won't make things difficult for you, and my royal family will not wrongly accuse you." Elder Ming was not entirely sure that Huang Hualong was involved in this matter, so he hoped to handle it in a gentler way and give him a chance to explain.

"Why doesn't Emperor Hao come in person? I haven't seen Emperor Hao for many years. Do you have any conspiracy?" Huang Hualong would not give in easily.

"High Priest, please stop instigating. You know that my father has been in seclusion recuperating since he was injured by King Zhongding who broke into the palace last time. This prince has been handling state affairs for so many years. In view of your loyalty over the years, I have come here in person this time, hoping to give you a chance. You must learn to cherish it." The current prince standing below said at the right time.

"Since your Hao family is so ruthless, don't blame me, Huang, for being cruel and merciless!" Huang Hualong saw that there was no room for maneuver and was ready to fight to the death.

"You can't leave!"

Seeing Huang Hualong turning around and about to leave, Ming Lao stopped him directly. Huang Hualong did not hesitate any longer and immediately attacked Ming Lao.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Elder Ming was a senior master of the Ninth Five Realm, so how could he allow him to be so presumptuous in front of him? However, once they started fighting, he found that Huang Hualong, who had only entered the ranks of masters for a few years, was not easy to deal with.

The masters in the air were fighting fiercely. The people on the ground were also busy, and a bloody battle took place in the prosperous imperial capital.

No matter what the battle was like, Feng Huan didn't pay attention to it. He believed that the Huang family was definitely not a match. He kept his Hexu Xing pupils open and stared at the small house. But no matter what was happening outside, the small house remained silent, just like a dilapidated abandoned place.

"I don't know what the Huang family did wrong, or whether they offended the Hao family. They were once so prosperous, how could they end up like this?"

"But it doesn't matter to us, just don't get involved."

"There are a few families in our imperial capital that have no connection with Huang Hualong. We all have some dealings with him. I hope the royal family will not be implicated."

"That shouldn't be the case! If we do that, the entire imperial city will be cleansed."

People who were watching the excitement watched from afar, but discussed the situation in private. Some of them were a little worried. For the forces in the imperial capital, this was definitely a major event with huge impact.

Soon, the battle on the ground came to an end. Some were killed and some were captured. The city guards had begun searching the priest's house to avoid any leaks.

The battle in the air was still very stalemate, with both sides fighting back and forth, and it seemed that neither could do anything to the other.

"Your Huang family is doomed, are you still going to resist?" After failing to defeat the opponent for a long time, Ming Lao began to use psychological warfare.

"So what? As long as I'm still here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Huang Hualong didn't care at all, and even had no intention of escaping in this situation.

"Hmph, you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Seeing that verbal provocation was useless, Old Ming stopped talking and prepared to use his ultimate move.

"Bah!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the ground, attracting everyone's attention, including Ming Lao and Huang Hualong.

After a search, the city guards finally arrived at the small house. A group of people came over casually and prepared to kick the door open, but they didn't expect that as soon as they reached the door, a powerful force instantly blew them away. They didn't even have time to scream before they all died.

"Is he finally going to show up?" Unlike others, Feng Huan had already predicted this moment. He was not only surprised but also looking forward to it. Who on earth is this mysterious person?

As the city guards were blown away, the entire small house was also blown to pieces. An old man with vigorous spirit, silver hair, and a Taoist look appeared in everyone's sight, followed by a young boy named Xu Pan.

"Who is this person?"

"Why are you in the High Priest's House?"

"It seems that this Huang Hualong really has a secret!"

The appearance of the silver-haired old man caused the crowd to be surprised and various speculations arose.

Looking at Huang Hualong again, he quickly came to the old man, saluted respectfully, and then stepped aside like a follower.

"Who are you?" Elder Ming narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the mysterious person in front of him, but he could not tell the depth of his true cultivation level. However, when he noticed Huang Hualong's respectful attitude towards the visitor, he could not help but secretly guess in his heart: This person must be the key figure hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything, and he must not be underestimated!

The man said coldly: "Ask Hao Qianli to come out and talk to me. You are such a small character, you are not qualified to talk to me at all!"

When Elder Ming heard this, his heart trembled violently, his face was full of astonishment, and his eyes kept sweeping over the silver-haired old man. You know, Hao Qianli is not an ordinary person, but the most senior and experienced ancestor of their Hao family! On weekdays, even for Elder Ming himself, it is not so easy to pay a visit to this ancestor, let alone other outsiders? Most people have never even heard of the name Hao Qianli. But the old man in front of him actually called the ancestor's name so rudely, and there was no respect in his words. How could this not shock Elder Ming?

"White-headed old man, when did you come to my territory without even saying hello? This is a bit against the rules!"

Just when Elder Ming was full of doubts and astonishment, suddenly, a bland voice came from a distance, and it became clearer and clearer. Then, a figure quickly floated in front of everyone like a ghost. Looking closely, the person who came was the respected ancestor of the Hao family - Hao Qianli!
