The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Chapter 1168: The Truth (2)

“Long Yue must have known all this. Why would he conspire with Xing Hun, does he not care about his very own family!” Long Xi trembled in anger.

Ji Fengyan maintained a neutral expression. “If the current second prince is not the real second prince, why would he care?”

Long Xi gave a violent start. He stared at Ji Fengyan in shock.

“You… do you know something?”

Ji Fengyan nodded.

“When Long Yue came to your residence, I happened to catch a glimpse of a World-Termination-Armour mark on his neck. This is something only Terminators have—a prince cannot possibly have it. Out of curiosity, I went to his residence that night to investigate. As expected, he is not the real second prince.”

Ji Fengyan didn’t immediately inform Long Xi, as she was afraid that he would act impulsively. She had yet to fully grasp just how deeply Xing Hun’s network ran inside Sa Er.

Now it appeared that Xing Hun had major plans for the Kingdom of Sa Er.

Long Xi was thunderstruck.

Father, mothers and sister were all being controlled by Xing Hun, while his own brother had been secretly switched.

The most pathetic thing was that he had already felt something was wrong, but dared not give in to what he thought were wild musings. Only now did he realize how ridiculously wrong he had been.

Long Xi sat dejectedly in his chair. He had never looked so haggard before.

“Brother…” Long Qin felt terrible as she watched Long Xi’s reaction.

“Crown Prince, if you continue wallowing in your misery, the Kingdom of Sa Er will surely be doomed. If I am not wrong, Xing Hun is not just targeting the Kingdom of Sa Er. the Divine Temple ordained his actions, this is all part of the Divine Temple’s grand scheme.” Ji Fengyan frowned. She never expected to encounter such a conspiracy in her trip to Sa Er.

From the clues she had uncovered so far, the Divine Temple’s primary plan was to incite a bitter war between humans and demons. This was a plan that had been set in motion for over a thousand years.

Now, the Divine Temple had suddenly gained control over the humans’ most powerful nation. Just this point was enough to put Ji Fengyan on high alert.

She could feel the Divine Temple would make their move soon.

And this move would not just be against the Kingdom of Sa Er—it would probably affect the entire human race and demon population.

“Divine Temple?” Long Xi was slightly taken aback.

Ji Fengyan nodded. At this stage, there was no reason for her to keep anything back. She revealed everything regarding Terminators and the Divine Temple.

Ji Fengyan’s revelation dumbfounded both Long Xi and Long Qin. If not for Ji Fengyan’s calm manner, they would never have believed that the much-revered Divine Temple was secretly planning something so horrifying.

“So… that’s why you are so anxious about locating the demon bones?” Long Xi recalled Ji Fengyan’s earlier request.

Ji Fengyan nodded.

“Only by assembling all the demon bones will the combat powers of the Terminators be curtailed. Only then will the demons stop attacking the human race.”

Long Xi struggled to maintain his composure. If he panicked now, the Kingdom of Sa Er will really be doomed.

“I understand. I will immediately have my men intensify their search.”

“What you should do now is to gather your forces first and not make any moves. Prepare for the worse. If you reveal any sign of knowing the truth, I am afraid the people inside the palace will come to harm.” Ji Fengyan advised.
