Xue Tianxing smiled bitterly and told the whole story of how they were surrounded and attacked in the forest, from the unusual silence in the forest, to the sudden appearance of the man in black robes, to the fierce battle with the enemy, and finally to how they were rescued by two mysterious Titled Douluo.
However, when mentioning the rescuers, he concealed the identities of Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, and only said that they were two Titled Douluo who suddenly appeared, without revealing any more information.
"How ridiculous!"
After listening to Xue Tianxing's story, Liu Tianfeng flew into a rage. He slammed the table so hard that it instantly shattered into pieces. He then continued to roar:
"How dare you surround and kill the prince and future princess of our Barak Kingdom, as well as the members of the Barak Academy team, on our territory? You show no respect for our Barak Kingdom!
If I find out who did this, I will tear them into pieces!"
Dugu Bo also snorted coldly, his eyes full of cruelty, and then he said:
"That's right! You dared to attack my granddaughter and Tianxing, and even wanted to take their lives. You must be tired of living!
No matter who's behind this, no matter what force they belong to, as long as I can find out, I'll go to their lair and use my purple mist to make them feel like they're using poison to massacre a city!"
Xuezhe took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Xue Tianxing:
"Tianxing, you said you brought back the bodies of those murderers?
Bring them out quickly so we can see if we can identify them and find out who's behind this as quickly as possible."
Xue Tianxing nodded and gestured to Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong immediately took out the storage ring, released the corpses one by one, and placed them neatly on the open space in the hall.
The corpses still retained their appearance before death, with expressions of fear still remaining on their faces.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and then Ning Fengzhi walked in with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
It turned out that before returning to the palace, Ning Rongrong immediately sent a message to Ning Fengzhi, informing him that he had been surrounded and attacked.
Ning Fengzhi was extremely worried and immediately rushed to the Barak Palace with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
"Rongrong!"
As soon as Ning Fengzhi entered the room, he quickly walked to Ning Rongrong, carefully examined her body, and then continued:
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also gathered around, scanning Ning Rongrong with sharp eyes, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was safe.
Sword Douluo Chenxin's expression instantly turned icy cold. The Seven Killing Sword in his hand was slightly unsheathed, emitting a sharp sword aura, and then he spoke:
"How dare you attack the Young Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? I want to see which force has such courage!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also echoed:
"No matter who it is, if they dare to hurt Rongrong, I will make them pay the price!"
Then, everyone present turned their eyes to the corpse on the ground.
Xuezhe is the king of the Barak Kingdom, controlling all the information about the kingdom's power; Ning Fengzhi is the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, known as the richest sect in the entire continent, with connections all over the place;
Liu Tianfeng, Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong are four Titled Douluos who are knowledgeable and have seen members of countless forces.
Several people surrounded the corpse, carefully identifying each face, and occasionally exchanging a few words with each other, hoping to find a clue.
However, as time passed, their expressions became more and more solemn.
"I have never seen these people before."
Liu Tianfeng shook his head first, with a hint of doubt in his tone, and then continued:
"The aura and attire of these people don't seem like they belong to any known major sect or kingdom."
Dugu Bo also frowned and said:
"I've been wandering the continent for so many years and have seen countless villains, but I've never seen faces like these. They don't have any distinctive markings on them. They look like a group of casual cultivators, but casual cultivators can never be so powerful."
Ning Fengzhi carefully observed the corpse's clothing and accessories, and said slowly:
"The black robes of these people are made of a special material, not like ordinary cloth. Moreover, they do not have any badges or tokens on them, which clearly shows that they are deliberately concealing their identities.
It seems the power behind this is very well hidden."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also said that they had never seen these people before.
The king of a kingdom, the leader of a top sect, plus four Titled Douluo, six very important figures on the continent, but no one could recognize the identities of these murderers.
This result made everyone present realize that the water behind this siege was much deeper than they had imagined.
Xuezhe took a deep breath and said to everyone:
"It seems we can't let our guard down. This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise, more dangers will be waiting for us in the future.
From today on, strengthen the security of the palace and Barak City, and send people to secretly investigate the identities of these people. We must find the mastermind behind this! "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Just when everyone was at a loss as to what to do with the corpse and the atmosphere was solemn, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. The "thump thump thump" sound came from far away and broke the silence in the hall.
A young man dressed in the uniform of a royal guard walked quickly to the palace entrance and bowed to Xuezhe anxiously.
"Your Majesty, there's an emergency!"
"Come in and tell me."
Xuezhe frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in his heart - he had just experienced an encirclement and there was an emergency situation again. Could there be other changes?
The guard received permission and quickly walked into the hall, holding a sealed envelope in his hand, which he respectfully handed to Xue Tianxing:
"Your Highness, a mysterious man just came to the palace gate. He said this letter contained the information you needed and must be delivered to you personally. After saying that, he turned and left. I was unable to stop him."
Xue Tianxing's heart moved and he quickly took the envelope.
The envelope was made of ordinary material and had no markings. He quickly opened it and pulled out the letter inside. There was only one sentence written on the paper, the handwriting was sloppy but powerful enough to show through the paper:
"The force that sent people to surround and kill you is the Tiandou Empire."
"Tiandou Empire?!"
When Xuezhe saw these words, his eyes widened instantly, his tone full of disbelief, and then he said:
"That old bastard Xue Ye actually dared to attack people from our Barak Kingdom!"
Everyone gathered around, and after seeing the contents of the letter, their faces turned extremely ugly. Liu Tianfeng gritted his teeth and said:
"What a shameless Tiandou Empire! On the surface, they maintain a vassal relationship with us and tell us not to cause trouble, but behind the scenes, they resort to such despicable tactics. How shameless!"
