On the second day, the news of the brutal death of the Northern Field Great General’s son spread throughout the entire capital like wildfire.
And Feng Baiyi was labeled as the culprit for Murong Yi’s murder!
Murong Yi’s violent death had occurred last night. And yesterday night, Feng Baiyi was the only person who had entered Murong Yi’s room! But when the Murong household searched everywhere for Feng Baiyi’s whereabouts, they found that it was as if Feng Baiyi had disappeared from the face of the earth and they were not able to find any trace of him, no matter what methods they used. This obviously gave rise to suspicions that Feng Baiyi might have killed Murong Yi and fled. When he was unable to locate Feng Baiyi, the Northern Field Great General was absolutely furious. He brought thousands of troops and mightily blocked the entrance to the Western Plain General’s residence… The longtime brotherhood between these two military generals was thus broken there and then.
And when he, too, was not able to find Feng Baiyi, the Western Plain General started to suspect that it was a ploy set up by the Murong household, and thus, the two great families began to fight a battle that set the heavens spinning and the earth in gloom, where only one of them would survive…
As for the true murderer, Yun Che… Not a single person suspected him.
There was a definite possibility that Murong Yi had been assassinated by someone other than Feng Baiyi, but what sort of place was the Northern Field General’s residence? To kill Murong Yi silently without leaving any trace behind under the heavy surveillance in the Northern Field General’s residence would require someone with strength at least in the late-stages of the Earth Profound Realm. And thus, Yun Che would never be suspected for his death.
So while the Imperial City was in a state of huge turmoil, Yun Che, who returned to the Blue Wind Profound Palace, was as calm as ever.
