Chapter 51 - 49 (1/2)

'Fura clan. Fura clan. Fura clan.'

It kept repeating inside Zero's head as he sneakily went inside the library of the Xiu Royal family. The disorder within the royal palace was still on-going as the young man wasn't able to find any leads as of now and Xiu Jia was truly having fun with the act of being kidnapped as she persisted on it.

Zero sometimes doubted about the second princess if she was truly the ice princess or she was just a fake one due to her childishness.

The young man flipped through pages as he was in the old era section. Zero expected that the Fura clan were a clan of deities but the information that he found was indicating otherwise. Fura clan was a clan of martial practitioners that produced genius cultivators every year. Because they were believed to be from the lineage of a deity.

That was written in the book, it did not say anything about Asura but something caught the attention of Zero. The unique characteristics of a Fura member, their bloodline were interconnected to each other. Their emotions were shared by each of them, that sometimes due to an uncontrolled released of emotions, it would give drawback to all Fura members. And there was a special thing about this clan, they were all transparent to one another as they shared memories, too.

During the old era, Fura clan lived separately from the ten continents as they did not want to co-exist with non-Fura members in order to protect themselves due to their bloodline. Living in seclusion was peaceful for them as they just only mixed with their fellow clan members. They were a prosperous clan but one member of them had revolted that caused the extinction of all Fura clansmen and it indicated the end of the old era as the bridge of new era prevailed.

The young man was overwhelmed by the fact that the bloodline that was coursing through his veins came from an extinct clan and he thought at first that Fura clan was a clan of deities but it was opposite as they were special kind of cultivators.

Chun was looking through what was the young man was reading as she accumulated informations, too. It was not difficult to adjust the view of the looking-water as she easily maneuvered it. The deity that usually accompanied her in the space of the silver box was nowhere in sight as he just left to stroll around the space.

The girl ignored Titus as she found it more comfortable to be alone than to be with that deity.

While both of them were occupied by their books, a heavy metallic marching was heard outside the library where the youth was in. Suddenly, the door pounded open as soldiers from the king was in the move for finding a criminal.

General Jianguo was also there as he was surprised at the appearance of Zero in the ancient library. The general neared him as he patted his back with strength that made the youth faltered from the action.

”Boy! You're here. Why didn't I see you during the military training? Are you avoiding the trainings now? Even though the war didn't persisted, every soldier needs a training and I don't tolerate a slacker,” the general reprimanded the youth who had a wry smile as he scratched his nape in an awkward manner.

He wasn't ready for another acting.

”By the way, are you informed about the death of the first princess?”

Zero's attention was suddenly grabbed by this piece of unexpected news. 'The first princess died? How?'

It felt like yesterday that he met her and now she's dead. The youth narrowed his eyes as he knew something amiss on this case. A trail might be left by that culprit.

”When?”

”Oh, boy! You're really ignorant. Where were you these days? Did you lock up yourself in this old-smelling library? Nevermind. Your cousin was killed yesterday at midnight. The body was removed already from the crime scene and was kept hold by the investigation team.”

”Is the crime scene still there?” Zero brought up as the general reluctantly nodded as he observed the youth.

He felt something from the youth's change of aura. Is it due to shock of his cousin's death?

”Can you bring me there, general?”

-----

White Moon Palace.

There were still individuals who were part of the investigation team, examining the yellow cordoned crime scene

With no hesitation, Zero walked in as he pulled up the cordon to went inside the crime scene. He went near to the discussing people inside as they find for leads.

”Sir, a stab to the heart killed the first princess and the instrument used was not a sword but weirdly it resembled claws.”

”Was she attack by a wild animal?”

”How would a beast break through the palace?”

Series of conjectures, guesses and debates would be heard as Zero listened to the side.
