Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 493: You Have Given Birth to a Good Son

Xia Jiuyou was also unwilling to believe it.

But the State Preceptor’s Life Plate had shattered, and communication was not returned.

Even if the State Preceptor was not dead, he must have encountered great danger.

"Third Divine Guard, Sixth Divine Guard, you two go investigate."

Xia Jiuyou commanded in a cold voice.

The two had discussed before how to deal with Ling Chen.

The State Preceptor had probably shared his thoughts with them.

Even the location of the Spirit Array had been mentioned.

"Yes."

The two hurriedly replied.

"Fourth Divine Guard, Seventh Divine Guard, you two go immediately to search for the whereabouts of the State Preceptor and Ling Chen."

Xia Jiuyou ordered again.

Even if the State Preceptor was dead, he needed to see the body.

Moreover, Ling Chen was also an extremely crucial clue.

As long as they find Ling Chen, it’s more likely that the State Preceptor’s assassination could be investigated thoroughly.

He also wanted to personally see whether Ling Chen had the ability to kill the State Preceptor.

Although he didn’t believe it.

"Yes!"

The two hurriedly took the command.

"All four of you, report back at any time. I will also inform you once I receive news from Xia Yuan."

Xia Jiuyou instructed further.

"Understood."

The four of them then took their orders and left.

The remaining six Divine Guards waited with Xia Jiuyou for Xia Yuan’s arrival.

A full half an hour passed.

Only then did Xia Yuan arrive.

He was followed by a Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator.

"Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuan promptly saluted.

"Dispense with the formalities, tell me the situation immediately!"

Xia Jiuyou urged anxiously.

The longer they delayed here, the closer the State Preceptor was to death.

Even if there was only one in ten thousand chance, he would not give up.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened..."

Xia Yuan began to recount.

He narrated in detail the State Preceptor’s visit and departure.

"This is a cultivator who encountered Ling Chen as he was fleeing, who gave him ten low-grade Primordial Spirit Stones to come and report."

Xia Yuan pointed to the Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator.

"This Jade Scroll and Identity Jade, were given by Ling Chen as evidence."

Xia Yuan continued.

Saying that, he handed over the two items.

These items were precisely what Liu Qingcang had asked from Ling Chen in order to spread false information.

Xia Jiuyou glanced at the Identity Jade and examined the Jade Scroll before injecting it with Spiritual Power.

"Palace Master, I and the Lord National Master, near Oblique Moon Ridge on the way to the Palace, were ambushed by Moon Shadow Killers, and the Lord National Master died on the spot. I was seriously injured but managed to escape narrowly due to my strong physical body. Please come to my aid quickly."

A very weak voice transmitted from the Jade Scroll.

"You speak."

Xia Jiuyou looked at the man.

"...Yes!"

The man stuttered.

He recounted the incident with Ling Chen.

"In which direction did Ling Chen flee for his life?"

Xia Jiuyou asked again.

"Northwest direction."

The man said with a shaking voice.

Xia Jiuyou immediately took out a Token and communicated with the four Divine Guards, instructing them to search based on this lead.

"Understood."

The four Divine Guards quickly responded.

"First arrange for this person."

Xia Jiuyou ordered.

He suspected that this man’s words might be false.

Therefore, it was necessary to let his subordinates probe a bit.

Soon someone took the man away.

"Your Majesty, please you must save Ling Chen! He is a once-in-a-generation talent from our Academic Palace, and also the only one in Great Xia who can rival the Crown Prince."

Xia Yuan pleaded urgently.

He had already sent out ninth-level Cultivators from the Academic Palace to search for Ling Chen.

However, those people, if they encountered real Moon Shadow Killers, would probably be powerless.

A killer capable of slaying the National Master and making Ling Chen flee was definitely not ordinary.

Only Your Majesty can mobilize powerful enough warriors to match those killers!

"Palace Master Xia, rest assured."

Xia Jiuyou said.

Of course, he hoped to find Ling Chen as soon as possible.

Because this was not only about the State Preceptor’s life but also about the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If Ling Chen could not be found for a long time, it would be better if he were dead.

If he were to survive, who knows how much he will have grown by the next time he appears?

At that time, the Great Xia Dynasty was also facing the danger of overthrowing.

He must find Ling Chen, and find him as quickly as possible, then kill him to eradicate future troubles.

"Great Divine Guards, you go to Oblique Moon Ridge as well, look for Ling Chen."

Xia Jiuyou arranged further.

Although two Divine Guards had been dispatched already, there was no guarantee they could deal with a Moon Shadow Killer if they encountered one.

"Yes."

The Great Divine Guards also took their orders and left.

Seeing that the King had dispatched the Great Divine Guards, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Divine Guards were the most powerful among the ten Divine Guards.

"Fifth Divine Guard, Eighth Divine Guard, Ninth Divine Guard, the three of you take men immediately and search within the King City for Moon Shadow and traces of the dark night."

Xia Jiuyou instructed once again.

Although Ling Chen was said to be a Moon Shadow Killer, it could also be the dark night. A comprehensive investigation was necessary.

Since they were moving, they would definitely be active within King City.

"Yes."

The three Divine Guards complied.

"Please invite Master Xu over!"

Xia Jiuyou said.

Then he turned to Xia Yuan, Second Divine Guard, and Tenth Divine Guard: "You few, come with me."

Soon, they arrived in a secret chamber.

Not long after, Master Xu also arrived.

"Master Xu, thank you for your trouble."

Xia Jiuyou said.

"Your Majesty, no need to be formal!"

Master Xu hurriedly said.

"Please check if this person is lying!"

Xia Jiuyou ordered.

"Certainly!"

Master Xu nodded.

Then a wave of Divine Soul Telekinesis enveloped the person who delivered the message for Ling Chen.

Master Xu too was a Divine Thought Master.

His specialty was quite unique.

That is Illusion Technique.

To call him an Illusion Master would be more precise.

He could trap a person in a special Illusion Realm so they could easily determine whether they were lying.

Very quickly, that person’s eyes became vacant.

"What is your name?"

Master Xu asked.

"Li Yan."

The person answered.

"Have you seen Ling Chen?"

"Yes."

"How old is Ling Chen?"

"About eighteen years old."

"When you saw Ling Chen, what was his condition?"

"Very bad, seriously injured, covered in blood."

"What were you doing at the time?"

"Hunting a spirit beast."

"What spirit beast?"

"A Green Wind Wolf!"

...

Master Xu asked for a while, even repetitively, but the person’s answers were fluent, as if he had seen it firsthand.

Little did he know that since Liu Qingcang had arranged for this person, preparations had already been made.

The scene of Ling Chen’s injury and flight was personally conjured up by Ling Xiuluo in an Illusion Realm for this person to experience.

How strong could the Divine Soul of a mere practitioner in the Spirit Sea Realm be?

The Illusion Realm of a top-grade high-class Divine Thought Master was incredibly realistic to him, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

After a while, Master Xu respectfully bowed to Xia Jiuyou and said, "Your Majesty, this person should not be lying."

"Good, your efforts are appreciated."

Xia Jiuyou nodded, signaling Master Xu to withdraw.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuan said to Xia Jiuyou, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now, I need to search for Ling Chen as well."

"Yes."

Xia Jiuyou consented.

He understood Xia Yuan’s feelings very well; it’s not easy to cultivate a peerless prodigy, only to have them face such peril.

If he were in his shoes, he wouldn’t be able to remain seated either.

Unfortunately, no matter what, Ling Chen was ultimately can’t escape death.

"You may all withdraw as well!"

Xia Jiuyou waved his hand.

"Yes."

Everyone immediately saluted and left.

Xia Jiuyou returned to Zhengyang Palace.

"Boom!"

With a thought, a hidden door in the center of the grand hall opened.

"Ling Tianxing, you have produced a fine son indeed!"

Xia Jiuyou sneered, stepping through the hidden door and disappearing from view.
