Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1368: Inside the Prison
..............................

Xuan Zhen was on the battlefield closest to Xuan Huan, and he had the best understanding of the situation at the time. "My brother Xuan Huan was defeated by the Taoist first, causing his soul beast to leave his body. The enemy had already prepared archers, waiting for my brother's soul beast to leave his body, and then they would kill him immediately."

As it concerns his lifeblood, even a calm person like Xuanxiao could not help but be surprised: "Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty actually knows so much about Senyu, and has even prepared a killing move in advance."

Xuan Zhen had been thinking about this question on the way back, and gave his own thoughts, "Don't you understand yet? The Yuanshen Beast is the lifeblood of many princes in Senyu. Apart from the lineage of King Yan, only the Winged Sky Great Demon under your command has cultivated it. The one who could kill Xuan Huan so accurately must be one of our princes who secretly passed the news to the Heavenly Dynasty. The only one who would do this is your old rival, Xuanmie."

“Although Xuanmie and I are enemies, the matter of the Yuanshen Beast is also related to his lifeblood. He can’t hand it over to the Ziyao Tianchao so easily.”

Xuan Xiao was skeptical about Xuan Zhen's conclusion. Based on his understanding of this opponent, Xuan Mie would never do such a thing as drinking poison to quench thirst.

The Ziyao Dynasty knew the method to kill the princes of Senyu, which could certainly severely damage its own forces.

But Xuanmie is also a man with deep thoughts and great ambitions. He has the same thoughts about the world as himself. If he loses, it is only a matter of time before he fights against Ziyao Tianchao.

Considering the future, he could not tell Zi Yao Dynasty about the Yuanshen Beast.

Xuan Zhen insisted on his inference, "Xuan Mie's Yuanshen Beast is the most mysterious existence in the Forest Prison. No one knows where he is hiding. Even if Ziyao Tianchao knows how to kill the Yuanshen Beast, the threat to him is not too great."

Xuan Zhen also informed Xuan Xiao of the information he had collected about Xuan Mie's movements during this period, "Also, don't forget that his maternal line originally came from the human world. It's not too easy for Xuan Mie to establish a relationship with the Ziyao Heavenly Dynasty through them. During this period, I arranged for the spies near Eagle Fort to find out that the last night phase secretly went to the human world and would not return for a long time."

Xuanxiao's face was filled with helplessness and grief, "Alas~ I didn't expect that the twelfth brother would do such a thing without considering the overall situation of the Forest Prison."

Even though all signs indicate that it was Xuanmie who informed Ziyao Dynasty of this matter, Xuanxiao himself did not believe it.

However, except for some scattered soldiers who were defeated and recovered by Ziyao Tianchao, almost all of Xuanxiao's troops were killed in this battle. Even his eleventh brother Xuanhuan was killed in the battle on the Black Sea coast.

Although Xuanmie and Ziyao Dynasty were secretly colluding, they must have been planning to hurt both sides.

But his faction has suffered a severe blow, and Xuan Xiao believes that Xuan Miejue will not miss this rare opportunity.

Even though he didn't know where the information about Zi Yao Dynasty came from, Xuan Xiao could only use it to force Xuan Mie not to take action.

At this time, the guards outside the palace came to report.

"Your Highness, we have found His Highness Xuanhuan's body on the coast of the Black Sea."

"Quickly bring in the body of Emperor Xuanhuan."

When he saw Xuan Huan's body, Xuan Xiao was filled with grief and knelt down in front of his body, "Brother, it's my fault~"

Seeing Xuan Xiao so sad, Xuan Zhen stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Xuan Xiao said while trying to suppress his grief: "Let's first hold a state funeral for my royal brother. After the funeral, I will declare an all-out war with the Zi Yao Dynasty!" "Okay. I'll take part in the revenge for my royal brother Xuan Huan." Xuan Zhen went down to prepare for the funeral.

Xuanxiao then sent the funeral notice of Prince Xuanhuan to all parts of Senyu.

In the Xuanmie Palace, Crown Prince Xuanmie and the three princes who supported him, Xuanqiu (the second son), Xuanzao (the fifth son), and Xuanqiong (the seventh son), discussed the death of Xuanhuan together.

Xuanmie held the funeral invitation in his hand and said to the three people, "My brother Xuanhuan died in battle on the coast of the Black Sea. Xuanxiao has sent out the funeral invitation. We will hold a funeral for him in Xuanxiao Palace tomorrow."

Xuan Qiu, the most astute of the three, questioned Prince Xuan Mie: "Xuan Mie, I know that you sent people to Zi Yao Heavenly Dynasty to weaken the forces under Xuan Xiao. But was it you who leaked the information about the Yuan Shen Beast, which led to Xuan Huan's death? Do you know that the whole Senyu is now saying that someone leaked the information about Senyu to Zi Yao Heavenly Dynasty, which led to Xuan Xiao's defeat?"

Xuan Qiong also immediately expressed his position: "Although we have had some conflicts with Xuan Xiao and other brothers, Xuan Qiong is our royal brother after all, and the Yuanshen beast is of great concern to us princes. Xuan Qiong will never allow outsiders to kill his brothers for this reason. Xuan Mie, what is your explanation for this?"

Xuan Zao, who had the most impulsive personality, was holding a sledgehammer, looking like he was going to attack if Xuanmie didn't give him a reasonable explanation.

Seeing this scene, Xuanmie sighed and said, Xuanxiao, you win this time.

Then, Xuanmie said to the three people with a serious look: "Since the three royal brothers mentioned it, Xuanmie will tell you the truth. I did send Prime Minister Mo Ye to Zi Yao Tian Chao. But I only revealed information about Xuan Xiao and his fighting power. I did not reveal Xuan Zhen, Xuan Huan and others. In the final analysis, it was Xuan Xiao who insisted on attacking Zi Yao Tian Chao. And what I did was just to make Xuan Xiao and Zi Yao Tian Chao fight to a loss. "

Xuan Qiong was puzzled and asked, "Why did Xuan Xiao publicize Xuan Huan's death?
Xuan Qiu explained on his behalf, snorting coldly, "Humph! Xuan Xiao was defeated miserably in this battle. I heard that if it weren't for the Winged Demon's desperate attempt to break through, I'm afraid he and Xuan Zhen would have died in this battle. If he doesn't divert attention, I'm afraid he will be held accountable."

Xuanmie nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, one of the purposes of Xuanxiao's move is to make everyone afraid to act rashly. He wants to prevent people from attacking him and buy time. But how did Ziyao Tianchao find out the method to kill Xuanhuan? It seems that I need to send Mo Yexiang to find out what Ziyao Tianchao is saying. Before that, let's go to Xuanxiao Palace to attend the funeral of Emperor Xuanhuan."

Xuan Qiong said in a cold voice: "Now we just have to wait for the eldest brother to make the decision and order. The Ziyao Dynasty will definitely pay the price for Xuan Huan's death."

Xuan Zao also echoed, "I won't let go of the person who killed Xuan Huan either!"
-
Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Xuan Huan died in battle on the Black Sea coast. When the news came out, it shocked the entire Senyu.

For a long time, although there were occasional struggles between the various factions to which the princes belonged, no prince had ever died.

Even the fifth prince Xuanzao, who had a very rough mind, realized the seriousness of the matter.

After Xuanxiao sent funeral invitations to the princes in Senyu, all twelve surviving princes in Senyu attended the Xuanhuan public memorial meeting on the second day.

The other two of the four princes who had not appeared for a long time, Prince Xuanbin and Prince Xuantong, all attended the ceremony.

Even Xuan Bao, the tenth son of the King of Hell, who had been guarding the ladder to heaven in the Jialuo Palace, put aside his mission and attended the public memorial service.

At the end of the funeral, Xuan Bin, the elder brother of all the princes of Senyu, came, leaning on a cane and dragging his sick leg.

After the memorial ceremony, in the name of the eldest prince, he ordered all the princes in Senyu to dispatch one soldier and one battalion of strong soldiers to serve under Xuanxiao.
