Chapter 809 - Wu Heis Action (1/2)

Jing Luo and Lin Mu both had not expected to receive news such as this today.

”Who told you this?” Jing Luo asked.

”Adviser Liu just informed me. They got the news just a few minutes ago when a messenger arrived with it.” Lin Mu replied.

”What? How did it happen?” Jing Luo asked.

”Come on, we'll go and talk to them ourselves. We'll tell King Hong later, his communication jade slip should work now anyway with the new communicator.” Lin Mu said.

Jing Luo nodded his head, and Lin Mu took him back to the royal palace.

~shua~

The two figures appeared in the circle of runes and looked at the people that were standing around them.

”Senior Lin Mu, Senior Jing Luo.” The ministers and the rest greeted.

With King Hong staying in the Kong plane, the phenomenon with the fire elemental spirit Qi accumulating had passed and now normal people and cultivators could enter the area of the place.

The work had gone to normal, and all the people were working at full force now.

”What happened?” Lin Mu questioned.

”We received news that Wu Xun, the minister of Shuang Qian kingdom, has died just a few minutes ago. He died over a month ago, but the Shuang Qian kingdom didn't let the news spread until now, probably to take care of the issues that would arise due to his death.

The news was released by their official decree and was sent to the Empire. We got the report from one of our informers there.” Adviser Liu answered.

”Huh? How did he die, though? He should be fine with his position and Gu Yao as his backing. Just what happened?” Lin Mu questioned.

”We don't know. They did not reveal the cause, though there are many rumors already spreading, from murder, poisoning, and all the way to a heavenly tribulation.” Adviser Liu answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu furrowed his brows. Wu Xun's death was something that was determined to happen in the future, as there was no way Lin Mu was going to let the man live.

After all, Wu Xun was indirectly responsible for the death of his parents and many others in the Northern town. Even Wu Hei was fine with it and knew that his father needed to receive the punishment, eventually.

But his death now was out of the blue and made Lin Mu wonder if this was some other ploy by Gu Yao instead.

'No… not just Gu Yao… it could be others too…' Lin Mu thought.

There were many enemies that Wu Xun had gained over the many years. Even with Gu Yao's influence and control, there were still many that could not be restrained. While they were in a weaker position than Wu Xun and Gu Yao; there was still a chance they could have plotted something that Gu Yao and Wu Xun failed to notice.

'Can it really be like that? Did their arrogance cause their downfall?' Lin Mu wondered.
