Chapter 1797

After he left, Wu Lie slammed his palm on the table, leaving behind a severe burn mark. He said darkly, "What happened to you just now?"

After Gu Chen left, Crow General, who had finally regained his mobility, looked guilty. "I was too careless. I didn't expect the Fixed Body Technique to be as powerful as the rumors say."

"So, that guy's identity is confirmed?" Wu Lie muttered. He then asked, "Do you think his words can be trusted?"

Although his body had been fixed, his brain hadn't. Crow General understood what Wu Lie meant. After some serious thought, he replied, "This is a serious matter. I'd rather believe it than not!"

"That's good. I'll leave this matter to you. Keep an eye on the Shao Clan. Remember, you can't screw this up again," Wu Lie said calmly. General Crow hurriedly obeyed.

…

The Shao Manor was brightly lit. Shao Jianwu led a person in through the side door and into Shao Jianmin's study.

The person wore a hood and a mask. After seeing Shao Jianmin, he took out a token and showed it to him.

Shao Jianmin immediately bowed when he saw the two words "Qiankun" on the token. "Envoy, why have you come to visit so late at night?"

He was respectful on the surface, but he wasn't too happy about this visit.

The situation in Peidu had been very sensitive recently. Countless eyes were on the Shao Family. If people found out that he was secretly in contact with Qiankun Group, they would be in big trouble.

Prince Wu Lie aside, he'd just found out that Chen Yi was a descendant of the Chen Clan. He was already regretting his haste in attacking him.

However, he'd already done it. He could only try his best to ensure that this matter didn't leak out.

Who would have thought that right after he'd instructed Shao Jianwu to keep his mouth shut, the Qiankun Group's envoy would come to him?

The envoy insisted on seeing him, and he'd come so suddenly that he couldn't refuse. He could only ask Shao Jianwu to bring him here secretly.

"Shao Family Head, let's cut to the chase. We've come to you because we've lost contact with the person we sent to investigate Chen Yi's situation. We can only come to you first to learn more about the situation so that we can decide what to do next."

The Qiankun Group's envoy went straight to the point. His words made the Shao brothers shudder.

"Lost contact? Could he have been caught by Chen Yi? " Shao Jianmin was restless. He was the source of the information. If the Qiankun Group's spy was really captured, then the Shao Family's ill intentions might be exposed!

The other party was a member of the Chen Clan of the ancient race. He was not someone he could afford to offend!

Shao Jianmin's intestines turned green with regret. He regretted that he had set the trap too early and did not wait until he had a better understanding of the other party's situation before taking action.

But then again, according to He Yang's report from the Luo Sect, Chen Yi was just a lone cultivator. How could he have imagined that he would suddenly become a disciple of the Chen Clan?

In his heart, Shao Jianmin cursed the Qiankun Group's spies for being incompetent and implicating him. Yet, on the surface, they still had to pretend to be obedient!

"I don't know the exact situation, and it's not convenient for us to make contact with the Luo River Palace now. According to the information you provided and the fact that Chen Yi saved the royal family of Pei Country, there's indeed something wrong with this person. It's very likely that he has an unclear relationship with the Luo Sect. "

"You mentioned the letters your son sent back from the Luo Gate. I hope you can give me these letters so that I can further analyze the situation and confirm if there was anything overlooked."

The Qiankun Group's spies spoke frankly with assurance. Shao Jianwu could not help but ask. "Lord Spies, if it's really confirmed that there's something wrong with Chen Yi, may I ask how the Qiankun Group plans to deal with him? I heard that he's a member of the Chen Clan. He's not to be trifled with! "

"A member of the Chen Clan?"

When the spies heard this, disdain immediately appeared in their eyes. "Not to mention that he's just a disciple of the Chen Clan who came to the outside world to gain experience. If we find out that the Chen Clan colluded with the Luo Sect, the entire Chen Clan will be in trouble! You should know the power of the Qiankun Group. "

The Shao Brothers heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the spies' solemn vow.

Chen Yi and the others were not afraid. They were worried about the ancient race, the Chen Clan.

If Chen Yi died, the Chen Clan would not dare to blame the Qiankun Group, but would they not dare to cause trouble for the tiny Shao Family?

However, it was different now. If the matter continued to drag on, even the Chen Clan might suffer. When that time came, how would they have the time to cause trouble for the Shao Family?

"Lord Spies, it's impossible for a mere Chen Yi to make the entire Luo Sect disappear. In my opinion, it's very likely that the Chen Clan is behind this!"

Shao Jianmin added fuel to the fire. He realized that he had to completely destroy Chen Yi and the Chen Clan in order for the Shao Family to rest easy.

"We'll leave the specifics to the higher-ups to decide. Give me the letters first," said the spies.

After getting the letters from Shao Jianmin, he asked for more details.

Once he had a clear idea of the situation, he left the Shao Manor quietly under Shao Jianwu's guidance.

In the dark night, someone personally witnessed Shao Jianwu sending the spies away. However, he did not show himself. Instead, he quietly followed behind the spies …

In less than an hour, Wu Lie received the news.

"Your Highness, our men have already locked onto the spies' whereabouts. As long as Your Highness gives the order, we can immediately take him down," said Commander Crow.

"There's no rush. If he's really from the Qiankun Group, taking him down rashly might alert him."

A fierce look flashed across Wu Lie's face as he stood up. "Let's go. Let's make a trip to the Shao Family!"

Late at night, Shao Jianmin suddenly received news that Prince Wu Lie had come to visit. He felt uneasy and wondered if the news had been leaked.

After hastily changing his clothes, he immediately received the prince.

"Lord Shao, how's the contact with the officials?" Wu Lie stood in the main hall with his hands behind his back and asked in a neutral tone.

Shao Jianmin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Wu Lie had come for this matter. He hurriedly guaranteed, "Your Highness, don't worry. Many high-ranking officials in the imperial court have already spoken. When the time comes, we'll definitely act according to Your Highness's instructions!"

"Is that so? Previously, you didn't do your best at the banquet, and I was extremely disappointed. There won't be any problems this time, right? "Wu Lie asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'll definitely do my best. I won't let Your Highness down!" Shao Jianmin did his best to guarantee. In his heart, he truly hoped that he could help Prince Wu Lie smoothly take control of the Pei Nation's imperial court.

The reason was very simple. Although he had come into contact with the Qiankun Group, he knew that they were not interested in the Pei Nation. They were only interested in the Luo Family.

Thus, the Qiankun Group could help him take revenge for his son's death, but they couldn't help him protect the Shao Family's interests.

However, Prince Wu Lie was different. He truly wanted to get his hands on the Pei Nation. After he succeeded, he would definitely need a spokesperson to help him control the Pei Nation.

If this matter was done well, the Shao Family would most likely become that spokesperson. They would be able to maintain their original interests or even take another step forward. Thus, he was naturally very concerned.

"Are you trying your best not to let me down, or are you trying your best not to let the Flaming Sun Crown Prince down?" Wu Lie suddenly sneered.

Shao Jianmin's expression immediately changed. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? I'm completely loyal to Your Highness! "

"Oh? Is that so? Then who did you secretly meet tonight? Do you dare to tell me? "Wu Lie stared straight at Shao Jianmin with an overbearing gaze.

Shao Jianmin's face instantly turned pale. He was not an idiot. Since Wu Lie had asked him this question, it was very likely that he already knew that he had met with the people from the Qiankun Group tonight!

He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to reply at the moment.

The battle for the throne was unpredictable. This person was naturally very suspicious. If he told the truth and said that he had used the people from the Qiankun Group to kill Chen Yi, would he believe him?

If he admitted that he had a secret relationship with the Qiankun Group, he would not be able to clear his name no matter what!

However, if he didn't explain, the problem would be even more serious. Who knew what this person would do next!

Shao Jianmin was at a loss. He stammered for a long time, unable to answer.

This scene fell into Wu Lie's eyes. Without a doubt, he was confessing without being pressed. In his heart, he was already more or less certain.

"Hehe, Shao Family. What a Shao Family!"

His expression was extremely cold. He turned around and strode out of the hall. His back view was merciless and austere!

"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation! Please listen to my explanation! "

Shao Jianmin panicked. He wanted to chase after him, but a tall Crow General in front of him stopped him.

"Tonight, the Shao Family will be removed from Peidu!"

Wu Lie's words before he left made Shao Jianmin, Shao Jianwu, and everyone in the Shao Family feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!
