Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Both of these are highly unlikely... " The Elder frowned.

"Hm? Why Elder?" Jia Lei Shan asked.

The Elder pursed his lips while saying, "There's one problem - Yin Shan. Be it Shu Xian or Yang Kai, how the fuck did those Tri-Qi Realm brats were able to kill him?"

Jia Lei Shan shook his head, "I don't know, Elder, but we can't just remove the possibilities based on this."

The Elder shook his head, "We can't remove these possibilities, but there could be another possibility."

"Hm? What else could there be, Elder?"

"Simple - Yin Shan betrayed us and took the Token Of Fate." The Elder replied.

"Huh? How is that possible? Senior Brother Yin Shan is lying in front of us!" Jia Lei Shan asked in confusion.

The Elder shook his head, "You said this just because a corpse had Yin Shan's spatial ring."

"Even though this ring is made of high-grade material and won't lose its ability in fire, I find it hard to believe that Yin Shan got killed just like that." 

Jia Lei Shan pursed his lips when he heard Elder's words.

Indeed he had confirmed that the corpse belonged to Yin Shan, but that was only based on the Spatial Ring he found in the corpse's finger.

"But Elder, there's no other way to confirm…" Jia Lei Shan let out a sigh.

The Elder frowned, "First you go and block all exits out of the city - don't let anyone go without confirming their identity!"

"Already done!"

"Good," The Elder squinted his eyes, "As for the fact whether this is indeed Yin Shan or not - we will know the truth tomorrow morning."

"How?"

"Keep an eye on the Gracious Sword Sect tavern. If you see Yang Kai - this means there's a high chance this body is Yin Shan, but if you don't… it means we had a traitor amongst us." The Elder clenched his fists as he finished his words.

'I will skin anyone of them alive if they dare to take my Token Of Fate!'

Suddenly, glancing at Jia Lei Shan, the Elder asked, "Let's head back. And tell the guards to search for any witnesses. Anyone who knows about this incident must be found out and brought to your clan."

"Yes, Elder!"

…

A new day began, and soon the Silver Mist City was once again swept with the news of another explosion.

Because this one happened in the middle of the street, everyone believed that this was a fight between two cultivators, and most likely, one of them self-exploded, killing everyone with him.

However, there were others who didn't agree with this. After all, everything happened within an instant - and there was neither any noise of fighting earlier nor were there any signs of fighting in the surroundings.

Just a huge black crater in the middle of the hall.

While the outside people were making stories and coming up with reasons to connect the last two explosions, earlier a tavern and now one on the road, the Jia Lei Clan was trying to filter out the lies from the truth.

Unfortunately, nothing seems to be a valid argument as there were always some facts that debased it.

"What should we do, Elder?" Jia Lei Shan asked the Elder.

The Elder thought for a moment and asked, "Did you send someone to the Gracious Sword Sect's tavern?"

Jia Lei Shan nodded his head, "I did, Elder. Kai Yang is yet to be seen. However, only two disciples of the sect are in the tavern - this means the other disciple, who was with Kai Yang, is yet to return."

The Elder nodded, "Wait for that disciple. He should be alive."

"Yes, Elder."

Just then, a guard entered the hall.

Cupping his fists in front of the two, the guard said, "Elder, Disciples from the Gracious Sword Sect have returned to the tavern?"

"How many?" The Elder asked.

"Two of them, Elder."

"Two…" Elder frowned.

"Are you sure?" Jia Lei Shan asked to confirm.

"Affirmative, Clan Head. I personally saw the two disciples enter the Tavern."

"Elder, this…" Jia Lei Shan glanced at the Elder.

"I know…" The elder let out a sigh, "Yang Kai is alive. This means the corpses we saw last night belonged to Yin Shan and Shu Xian!"

"Yes, Elder." Jia Lei Shan lowered his head, saddened by the death of his senior brother.

"Sigh, this is life, Disciple Jia. We gain and lose people, don't feel too down. Go and have some rest. We will definitely avenge both of them!"

"Elder, why don't we go and attack now?" Jia Lei Shan gritted his teeth.

"Don't talk nonsense. Get a hold of yourself." The Elder shook his head, "There's a Core Formation Realm cultivator among them, so we can't go head-on."

"Also, don't forget that we need those people as a meat shield against the Wu Kingdom."

"But Elder… what if Kai Yang comes out once again?" Jia Lei Shan asked.

The Elder thought for a moment and replied, "We still can't kill him. It's too dangerous and risky."

"We will get both, Kai Yang and Wu Qingwu, at once."

"Yes, Elder!" Jia Lei Shan said and headed out of the main hall.

…

In the Tavern where Gracious Sword Sect was staying.

Ye Tian Yun stepped on the top floor and couldn't help but smile as he overlooked the city.

He was sure that currently, there was chaos going through the Jia Lei Clan after they confirmed that Yang Kai was still alive.

Unfortunately for them, they would never know that both of them had played right on Ye Tian Yun's palm.

Ye Tian Yun had achieved the goal of killing Kai Yang without letting the others in the entourage get any suspicions, and he had also managed to stop Jia Lei Clan from avenging their fallen members.

'I know the Elder won't attack. He would want to trap all these fishes at once and will wait till he gets both, Yang Kai and Wu Qingwu, in his net!'

'Unfortunately for him, I used his greed against him.'

'During the assassination, I hope it's the Elder who comes to get me, or else it won't be fun anymore.'
