Chapter 120 The Disappeared Corpse
Davis took his men away, but they did not go too far. Instead, they stayed near Shrek Academy.
It doesn’t matter if Zhu Zhuqing can’t be taken away, but Dai Mubai’s matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly.
Although Dai Mubai is dead, he is still the prince of the Xingluo Empire.
If a prince died outside without any clear reason, where would the reputation of the Xing Luo Empire be?
Watching Davis and the other two leave, everyone at Shrek breathed a sigh of relief, except for Yu Xiaogang, who looked a little ugly.
Dai Mubai was indeed dead, but his body had already been sacrificed to the God of Origin. If people from the Xingluo Empire came to look for the body, it would be hard to explain.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Tang San keenly noticed Yu Xiaogang's abnormality and asked in confusion.
Yu Xiaogang shuddered, then came to his senses and shook his head as if nothing had happened. "I just think the people of the Xing Luo Empire are too cold."
"Dai Mubai is dead, but Davis, as Dai Mubai's brother, only wants to take Zhuqing away."
Tang San nodded when he heard this. It seemed that the people of the Star Luo Empire were indeed inhumane.
Zhu Zhuqing on the side said softly: "Davis naturally doesn't care about Dai Mubai's death. He even hopes that Dai Mubai will die sooner so that he can inherit the throne naturally."
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
"This is the succession to the throne of the Xingluo Empire. It is a life-and-death struggle between successors. Only the winner is qualified to become the emperor. The loser will either die or be imprisoned for life."
Zhu Zhuqing continued to speak, and everyone fell silent.
Luo Ling's gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang inconspicuously, but Yu Xiaogang seemed not to be listening to what Zhu Zhuqing said, but was thinking about something else.
……
The next day, Davis, Zhu Zhuyun and his servants returned to Shrek Academy.
Seeing Davis coming back, everyone was very alert, and no one knew whether the prince would continue to take action.
Davis glanced at Luo Ling in the crowd and said gloomily:
"Since Zhu Qing has already joined the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, we will not force her. However, we still need to investigate Dai Mubai's death! This concerns the dignity of our Xingluo royal family!"
Hearing this, Flanders breathed a sigh of relief, but then revealed an embarrassment, "Prince Davis, we only know that Dai Mubai was killed by a man in a black robe, but we don't know who it was."
Davis turned his gaze away from Luo Ling and looked at Flanders. He frowned and said:
"Dai Mubai is dead, where is his body?"
"I buried it in the back mountain." Flanders replied immediately.
"Take me to see it." Davis said coldly.
Flanders did not refuse and led Davis and the other two towards the back mountain.
The rest of Shrek's members followed, with Yu Xiaogang also following at the end with a gloomy look on his face.
He knew that once they reached the back mountain and discovered that Dai Mubai's body was missing, Davis would definitely suspect the cause of Dai Mubai's death.
But Yu Xiaogang had no other choice now. Dai Mubai's body had long been sacrificed to the God of Origin, and not even a trace of it was left.
Soon, everyone came to the place where Dai Mubai's body was buried. When Flanders dug up the small mound of earth, he saw nothing.
Flanders was stunned, looking at the empty hole, feeling lost for a moment.
"Dean Flanders, is this the place where you said Dai Mubai's body was buried?" Davis had anger on his face, he felt like he had been fooled.
"How could this happen? I clearly buried the body here, how could it disappear?" Flanders muttered to himself. Davis on the side had completely lost his patience, "Do you think that the Xingluo royal family is easy to deceive?"
In an instant, Davis entered a state of martial spirit possession. Behind him, Zhu Zhuyun and the middle-aged Soul Saint also activated their martial spirits.
Flanders was speechless when he saw this. He had indeed buried Dai Mubai here, but it was also a fact that Dai Mubai's body was missing.
"Prince Davis, I really buried Dai Mubai here..." Flanders explained palely.
Davis no longer believed it, and even felt that the person who killed Dai Mubai might be someone from Shrek Academy.
"I advise you to put away your martial spirit."
When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Luo Ling spoke slowly.
He walked forward slowly and said, "Dai Mubai was indeed killed by a mysterious man in black. It has nothing to do with our Shrek Academy."
"You may not believe it, but if you want to make a move, I think your Xingluo Empire may have to consider another successor."
Davis was stunned when Luo Ling finished speaking, and then he said with a sullen face: "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating a fact." Luo Ling shook his head.
"You are a Soul Sect Master, and that woman is a Soul Venerable, plus a Soul Saint."
"And we have two Soul Saints here."
"If we really come to blows, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to fight back."
Davis reacted and his expression became even uglier. "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from our Xingluo royal family?"
"Revenge? That requires you to be able to leave Shrek Academy." Luo Ling chuckled, "And did anyone else know when you came to Shrek Academy?"
Davis' expression turned completely gloomy. This time they came to Soto City just to see the fighting spirit of the Weird Mage. There were only three of them here.
Shrek Academy is originally located in a remote place outside of Soto City. If someone is really killed here, there will be no evidence.
"So we can talk about it with peace of mind. We witnessed Dai Mubai's death with our own eyes. He was killed by a mysterious man in a black robe." Luo Ling waved his hand.
"From the look of you, do you know the identity of the man in black?" Davis finally put away his martial spirit and asked angrily.
Hearing Davis' question, Luo Ling smiled and said, "I didn't know it before, but I didn't know it until I saw the fighting spirit of the trickster."
Having said this, Luo Ling paused.
"Are you saying it was the Trickster who did it?" Davis frowned.
Luo Ling shook his head, "It's not the Weird Mage, it's Tang Hao, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao!"
He spoke word by word, and everyone present had different expressions.
Flanders and Yu Xiaogang, who knew the truth, felt a little guilty, and were also a little surprised that Luo Ling knew that Tang Hao was the real murderer.
Tang San frowned, and was stunned when he heard the name Tang Hao, because that was his father's name.
He had heard before that Haotian Douluo was killing people in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, but he had never heard Haotian Douluo's real name. Now that he heard it, he couldn't help but have some doubts.
