<h4>Chapter 556B – Holy Son Seal</h4>


    At this moment, Qin Yu’s head was lowered. No one discovered that his pupils suddenly brightened. He lifted a hand and grasped forward. A strange aura suddenly descended, causing the souls of everyone present to tremble.


    Bai Xinyuan froze in ce. He lost control of his mortal body and the rampaging aura within him began to slowly fade away. Qin Yu looked straight at him in the eyes and slowly said, “Not only did you not hesitate to send your son to the yellow springs, but you were even willing to part with a Cmity Immortal avatar just to frame me and harm me. I really am honored by this.”


    The atmosphere fell deathly silent. This…this…what was the meaning of this?


    Bai Xinyuan furrowed his eyebrows. He lowered his head in contemtion. Then, after a long time he suddenly said, “Your Highness is truly worthy of being the Holy Son. Now, I really am curious just how you managed to aplish this.”


    As his voice spread out, everyone, even the Demon Envoy, felt their hearts chill as their eyes filled with disbelief.


    Bai Xinyuan, he…he actually…how was this possible!?


    Qin Yu flicked his sleeves and a soul phantom appeared above Bai Xinyuan’s head. However, only half of this soul was there; the other half was nothingness.


    “No wonder even an avatar was able to be a Cmity Immortal; you actually ced half your soul within. What an astounding show of ability. Though I wonder, if I were to destroy this half soul, would I be able to kill you? Or, perhaps I could take this half soul captive and slowly interrogate you for answers. You should know by now that I am capable of doing exactly that.”


    Bai Xinyuan shook his head and heaved a deep sigh. He seemed to say to himself, “In the end, a thousand years of hard work and plotting have alle to nothing. Your Highness Holy Son truly exceeds all my expectations. I feel nothing but the most sincere admiration.” He suddenly revealed a happy smile, “Thinking about it, Your Highness should already know what it is you swallowed just now. I also find it curious. Howe you aren’t afraid of the Demon Shattering Miasma?”


    “Demon Shattering Miasma!” The Demon Envoy shouted out loud.


    Bai Xinyuan cackled. “That’s right. It is the Demon Shattering Miasma that poisoned thest Holy Monarch to death. Demon Envoy, do you want to know where this supreme poison that should have disappeared from this world came from?” His eyes fell on the body of the Mu Family Old Ancestor and his lips twisted up in a mocking smile.


    “How insolent!”


    With a loud shout, the Mu Family Old Ancestor lifted a hand and thrust out a palm. Space instantly copsed, forming a great mouth that swallowed Bai Xinyuan up.


    “Haha, Mister Mu, why are you so anxious to get rid of me? I didn’t say that you were the one who provided me with this poison…but in truth, it was you…haha, Your Highness Holy Son, we will see each other again in the future!”


    Bang –


    The world trembled and the copsed space violently shook. Bai Xinyuan’s aura rapidly vanished.


    The Mu Family Old Ancestor had a grim expression. “How can you trust the words of traitorous spies? If this person wasn’t immediately killed and he was allowed to freely spit out nonsense and indiscriminately bite someone, everyone here would be at risk! This damned piece of garbage, even before his death he is trying to taint my name! How despicable!”


    The Demon Envoy coldly said, “Mister Mu, your actions were indeed too swift.” Although he didn’t exin further, everyone knew what he meant.


    The scene was silent. Everyone’s eyes were both cloudy and clear.


    The Mu Family Old Ancestor took a deep breath. “I have always conducted myself honestly and righteously. I do not fear the false usations of a spy.”


    He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. The anger raging in his chest was so great that it nearly blew out his heart and lungs.


    He knew that from this day forth, the Mu Family would no longer receive any help within the Demonic Path!


    …


    Although Hai Lan was a person with feelings in her heart, her personality was naturally cold and indifferent, and she had no idea how to be closer with others. In addition, after the incident with Bai Xinyuan, Qin Yu had be even busier so there was no chance to approach him.


    However, when she thought back to that day and how Qin Yu had torn apart Bai Xinyuan’s disguise and revealed his true colors in the crucial moment, she still couldn’t help but feel her thoughts surge and her admiration of him be that much deeper…His Highness was someone that no one could ever truly understand. He seemed to have the cards avable to deal with any perilous situation, as if nothing was difficult to him.


    As Hai Lan thought about all the things she had gone through with His Highness, her face flushed red a little. As she was lost in her thoughts, there was a knock on her door. “Miss Hai, His Highness would request your presence.”


    She fiercely stood up. There was pleasant surprise on her face, but she intentionally waited several breaths of time before lightly saying, “I understand.” Once the maids left, she quickly tidied up her appearance before she rushed towards the great hall where Qin Yu was.


    “You’vee. Sit down and let’s chat a little.” Qin Yu rubbed his cheeks. He had seen so many people in thesest few days that he felt he was going to pull a muscle from smiling too much.


    After the great disturbance of that day, the Blue Skies Yellow Springs had lost a great deal of face. Yuan Congsheng and the others had been enraged but also embarrassed to the point that they couldn’t say anything. After a long period of arguing, they realized that they had all been tricked. A spy had nearly overturned their rtionship with the Holy Pce.


    A Cmity Immortal was a top level character within the Demonic Path. While Bai Xinyuan didn’t bother himself with most trivial matters, who knew how many roots of trouble he kept hidden throughout. Because of that, Yuan Congsheng and the others didn’t say much that day before they hurried back to the Blue Skies Yellow Springs. There were going to be severalrge-scale investigations carried out.


    But no matter who it was, they had to acknowledge that Qin Yu had really made a great ssh this time. It could even be said that he had performed a great merit. The attitudes of countless people towards him also changed. Because of this, he had been so busy these past days and received many Demonic Path characters. Most of them simply wanted to pay a visit to the Holy Son, and they all came in a respectful and cautious manner.


    Hai Lan revealed a concerned expression. “Your Highness you must take care of your body and make sure to not tire yourself out.”


    Qin Yu thought back to when he had been teased by her. He lightly coughed and said, “It’s fine, there were some harvests at least.” He couldn’t help but smile as he spoke.


    He really did have to thank the Mu Family for helping him win over the hearts of the people within the Demonic Path so quickly. He could be said to have finally stabilized his foothold here. And, the most important thing was that in order to achieve this, the Mu Family hadpensated with their own reputation. Although he had no idea what the current situation in the Mu Family was, looking at the Demon Envoy’s constantly happy expression, it likely wasn’t anything good.


    In thepetition for the throne of the Holy Monarch, plotting and scheming in the shadows couldn’t be considered anything important or surprising. But to collude with a spy to murder the Holy Son and even harm the benefits of the entire Demonic Path, that was true blunder. Even those people who had deep connections to the Mu Family and were normally close to them were now estranged.


    Of course, this was also because Qin Yu had managed to stand firm so far, and the general trend seemed to be…


    In any case, the Mu Family was likely in decline!


    Seeing Qin Yu so happy, Hai Lan also smiled. She wanted toe up with some small talk but she couldn’t think of anything to say. In the end, she returned to the main topic, “What did Your Highness call me here for?”


    Qin Yu took out a storage ring and ced it on the table. “I will soon reenter the Holy Pce to try and find a way to obtain the Saint Son Seal. I won’t be able to leave for a time, so I asked the Demon Envoy to help me collect some hyacinth grass. You need to return to the Endless Sea and deliver this to Fu Shan, so that the city can be free of sickness that much earlier.”


    Hai Lan was stunned. She never thought that even though Qin Yu was so busy, he would actually remember this. Her eyes flushed red. She stood up and earnestly bowed. “Thank you Your Highness!” In the past, her mother was sick from the wasting disease. In order to save her mother, her father had tried to rush out of the Endless Sea, but in the end he died there.


    “There is no need to thank me. Since I am the Commander of the Holy Nether Guard, this is my duty.” Qin Yu didn’t want her to think more about this and be even sadder. He waved his hand and said, “Go quickly. Tell Fu Shan of my current condition so that he doesn’t worry so much. Tell him I will soone back to visit.”


    Hai Lan suddenly blushed red. “Your Highness, you really are a good person. I…I…” In the end she didn’t finish speaking. She turned and ran out.


    Tuba stood at the entrance of the great hall. He watched as the blushing Hai Lan fled in a panic. He nced around and his cheeks puffed up as he almost burst out inughter.


    Qin Yu red at him. “Don’tugh. That’s not something a good and honest person would do, so get those thoughts out of your head!” He leaned back in his chair. As he rubbed his eyebrows, he helplessly smiled.


    There was clearly something wrong with Hai Lan’s mood. Although he couldn’t help but feel a little bit of pride for making such a deep impression on this type of cold and beautiful woman, it also gave him a headache. Hai Lan was a proud and arrogant woman; he could already determine this from the time they spent together. If he couldn’t clearly exin the situation to her, then he could only find ways to bring distance between them.


    His thoughts turned and turned. When no ideas came to mind, he could only temporarily put it to the side and think about the matter that the Demon Envoy mentioned.


    When the Holy Pce opened, at Heavenwait Square, there had been the stone tablet inheritance that had suddenly appeared. Then, there was also the strength which had tried to take it back. After Qin Yu told the Demon Envoy about this, the two carefully discussed the situation and came to a conclusion – the stone tablet hadn’t been prepared for him.


    Although there didn’t seem to be any clues leading to anyone, it was simple enough if one extrapted the given information.


    If there was someone capable of opening amunication channel with the Holy Pce and was also confident that they would be the first to enter the Holy Pce and obtain the stone tablet inheritance, that could only be the Mu Family.


    In other words, Qin Yu had taken what should have originally been Mu Mo’s. It was no wonder that boy had looked at him with such an aggrieved and hate-filled expression that day.


    Qin Yu wasn’t sorry for this at all. What he and the Demon Envoy worried about was that if the Mu Family was inmunication with the Holy Pce, then if he were to enter and try to obtain the Holy Son Seal, some twists and turns might ur.


    It was because of this that the Demon Envoy postponed Qin Yu’s reentry into the Holy Pce. He had people begin moving in private so that he could cut off the hands and feet of those damned women.


    Roughly estimating, there should be a result in the next few days.
