Chapter 286.1
Master Liu, its highly possible that His Highness and his people were killed by a high monk of the Buddhist Sect! Based on the evidence at the scene, I dare to speculate that the case unfolded like this!
The Divine Detective bowed and said solemnly, His Highness and his people were ambushed by a master of the Buddhist Sect on their way back! They secretly used Shaolins unique skills to kill His Highnesss men! Afterward, they moved the bodies here, staged the scene, and framed Great Xia!
The reason we only discovered this now is to destroy some evidence! For example, the blade wounds, sword wounds, and the poison on their bodies might have been added after death!
Until now, the bodies have almost decomposed, and its hard to distinguish whether the wounds were inflicted before or after death, which is why weve only found them now! At this moment, through the wounds on their bodies and the evidence at the scene, we can only infer that it was Great Xia who committed these acts!
As for their real fatal injuries, because they are too secretive and known by few, naturally they would be concealed! Thus, they perfectly framed Great Xia! Even if we know there is deceit, theres no way to prove it if we dont know the truth!
The team leader nodded, What youve said makes a lot of sense! Great Xia and the Buddhist Sect have always been at odds, with many conflicts arising between them, so it makes sense for the Buddhist Sect to do such a thing!
Although they had deduced the truth of the matter, they felt it was even more troublesome.
Because this involved not only the Great Xia Empire but also another transcendent power, the Buddhist Sect.
Although both were transcendent powers, the Buddhist Sect had a much deeper heritage, having been established for thousands of years, and was much stronger than their Great Wu Empire.
If he had one, he just wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down now!
The team leader sighed, These matters are beyond our control now! Lets transport the bodies back first, then report the truth to His Majesty and wait for his decision!
Not long after, they had transported all the bodies back to Great Wu.
Then, they reported the situation as it was.
Upon hearing this, the Great Wu Emperors face turned ashen.
He had just seen Wu Xiongying last month, and now he was sending him off.
Although he had many children, Wu Xiongying was one of his favorites, naturally making his death a cause for sorrow.
Moreover, his death involved the Buddhist Sect, making the matter extremely complicated.
He wanted to settle scores with the Buddhist Sect, but their strength was not inferior to theirs. If Great Wu made a move, they might not achieved much and could have ended up with both suffering losses, leading to damage to the nations power.
But he couldnt swallow his pride and fail his son by not taking action.
It was a dilemma.
Are you certain it was the doing of the Buddhist Sect? the Great Wu Emperor asked.
His voice was strong and commanding, and despite being over 60 years old, he looked as if he were only 40.
Since he ascended the throne 20 years ago, although the territory has not expanded, the population has continued to grow. The seas and mountains were calm, and the people lived in peace and contentment. He was a rare and accomplished ruler.
Your Majesty, after our repeated verification, we can confirm that the prince and the others indeed died due to the 72 Unique Skills of Shaolin! the leader reported.
He did not directly state that they died at the hands of the Buddhist Sect.
But the situation was clear. Apart from the high monks of the Shaolin Temple, who else could execute the advanced Shaolin techniques?
There was no need for a second guess. It must have been the work of the Buddhist Sects!
The Great Wu Emperors complexion grew even darker.
At that moment, a middle-aged beautiful consort burst in while crying and wailing, Your Majesty, my son died a terrible death! His body was covered in wounds and unrecognizable! You must seek justice for him. You are not only the Great Wu Emperor but also a father. Can you bear to see him die with his eyes open?
This middle-aged beautiful consort was the noble consort of Great Wu and also the mother of Wu Xiongying.
At this moment, her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were swollen red!
Seeing this, the Great Wu Emperor also felt terrible and promised loudly, Rest assured, I will seek justice for Xiongying!
After sending the virtuous consort away, the Great Wu Emperors eyes hardened, My son cannot die in vain. I must demand an explanation from the Buddhist Sect! Moreover, Great Xia is also a victim. Lets contact them, and we will settle the score with the Buddhist Sect together!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Soon after, Lin Beifan received a letter of credence from Great Wu.
In the letter, Great Wu laid out all the collected evidence and the full story.
It pointed out that Great Xia was also a victim and hoped that the two nations could join forces to demand an explanation from Shaolin Temple.
Lin Beifan, of course, agreed readily.
Great Xia couldnt just suffer a loss for nothing, right?
Sword Elders disciple, youve had several dealings with the Buddhist Sect and have a deep relationship, so this matter is entrusted to you!
Sword Elders mouth twitched slightly. Deep relationship? Several dealings?
They had fought several battles, and the grudges were deep!
Yes, Master!
