Chapter 164: Demigods cannot be insulted

"Dong Yao, you have to make the decision for my father."

"Dong Yao, my husband died here, in Wen Qing's mourning hall. The murderer was too vicious and arrogant!"

Duke Yao rushed to Duke An's mansion, and Duke An's son and wife cried and complained that they were all extremely angry.

"You guys get up first."

Duke Yao said in a deep voice, "Tell me if there are any Shenwu guards in Dali Temple?"

"Informed."

Anjia's man replied.

Duke Yao nodded slightly. He looked at Duke An, and his spiritual consciousness entered the body of Duke An. His soul was also injured.

"Yao Guogong."

Not long after, people from Shenwuwei and Dali Temple rushed over, and they were shocked when they saw An Guogong's body.

A few months ago, Cai Yuanjing and Xie Wenzhong died, but they were killed by His Majesty. This was very different from An Guogong.

"Dong Yao, the murderer first killed Prince An, then Shaoqing Liu Shan, and now he is killing the Duke. Such behavior is too outrageous."

"This kind of thing happens every time after interrogating Xiao Fan and the others. The deaths of An Guogong and the others are definitely related to Xiao Fan and the others!"

Someone from the Shenwu Guard said in a deep voice.

Mrs. An Guogong said angrily: "Yao Guogong, you must arrest Xiao Fan and others and make them pay the price."

Yao Guogong took a deep breath and said: "Mrs. An, there is currently no evidence that the deaths of An Guogong and others are related to Xiao Fan. If there is, I will definitely order the arrest."

"It's not appropriate to arrest people now."

Mrs. An wanted to say more, but Duke Yao raised his hand to stop him: "Mrs. An, you don't want the An family to be wiped out, right?"

"hiss!"

Many people in the An family took a breath of cold air.

Some of them felt a cold air running from their heels to the top of their heads.

"Mrs. An, the murderer dared to kill even Duke An. The murderer would most likely be able to do such a thing as exterminating a family."

"I understand your feelings, but you still have to control your emotions."

Duke Yao said in a deep voice.

He was terrified at this moment. Although he had a cultivation level of Emperor Martial, he only had the strength of the initial stage of Emperor Martial. It would not be difficult for a strong man at the Perfect Level of Emperor Martial to kill him.

Moreover, the Yao family has a great business, and his sons and grandsons do not have the strength of Emperor Wu. The murderer will not target the Yao family, right?

"Yao Guogong, please investigate slowly. You are right. Evidence is required in everything. We cannot do anything without evidence."

An Wenbin, the second son of An Guogong said.

His emotions were complicated. Originally, his eldest brother was the heir apparent and had nothing to do with him, but now his eldest brother and his father died one after another.

He can then inherit the title.

According to the rules of the Tianlong Empire, the title of Duke can be passed down twice. In other words, one person can become Duke for three generations.

The title of Duke of the An family has only been passed down once, and An Wenbin can become the Duke by then.

But even if he becomes the Duke of the country, the status of the An family will be reduced a lot. The Duke of An is not a top powerhouse, but he has the cultivation of King Wu at least.

An Wenbin is only the second generation ancestor with only Di Gang level cultivation.

With his age, cultivation, and abilities, it would be difficult for him to convince the public when he became the Duke of the country. The An family would probably be abandoned by the Lingnan nobles.

"Wenbin, your father and eldest brother are gone. You have to be more sensible in the future and shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the An family."

Duke Yao said in a deep voice.

"yes."

An Wenbin nodded.

Duke Yao sighed softly: "There is nothing to examine the body of Duke An. You should prepare a funeral for Duke An."

"I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty."

…

"See Your Majesty."

Half an hour later, Duke Yao arrived at the palace and met Qin Zhentian.

Qin Zhentian's face was gloomy. He already knew the situation before Duke Yao came over. A Duke actually died like this.

"You don't need to talk about it, I already know it."

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.

Yao Guogong said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shaoqing and An Guogong all died after interrogating Xiao Fan and others. I judge that there must be a certain relationship between their deaths and Xiao Fan."

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.

"Come here, send a message to Xiao Fan to come and see me!"

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two eunuchs quickly set off from the palace.

Qin Zhentian was reviewing the memorial, and Duke Yao was sitting upright. After more than half an hour, Xiao Fan finally arrived at the imperial study.

"I have met Your Majesty, and I have met Duke Yao."

Xiao Fan saluted.

Qin Zhentian put down his pen and raised his head: "Xiao Fan, I ask you a question. If you answer it truthfully, if you lie to me, you will lie to the emperor."

He had placed a soul restraint on Xiao Fan before, and Qin Zhentian believed that if he asked, Xiao Fan would answer honestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Fan said respectfully.

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "Prince An, Liu Shan, and Duke An, were they killed by the strong men behind Murong Die and the others?"

Xiao Fan nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, yes."

He killed the person, and he was the strong man behind Murong Die and the others.

Yao Guogong's eyes lit up.

He immediately said: "Xiao Fan, who is the strong man behind Murong Die and the others? Did he contact you before killing people?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "The other party did not contact me before killing him, but he contacted me after killing An Guogong."

"He just said one thing."

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "What did the other party say?"

Xiao Fan looked puzzled and said: "The other party said that demigods cannot be insulted."

"hiss!"

Qin Zhentian and Yao Guogong were both shocked.

Both of them are powerful warriors at the level of Martial Emperors, so of course they know what a demigod is. Only after a Martial Emperor reaches perfection can he become a demigod.

"Xiao Fan, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"

Duke Yao said in a trembling voice.

Xiao Fan shook his head: "Duke Yao, this voice seems to echo in the depths of my soul, and it's hard for me to hear it wrong even if I want to."

"Demigod."

Qin Zhentian muttered to himself.

Their Tianlong Empire actually has such a powerful warrior.

If the other party is a demigod, some things can be explained, such as the other party being able to enter the Prince's Mansion without anyone noticing.

For example, Murong Die and the others' strength has skyrocketed.

"Your Majesty, you may have to find someone else to preside over the case of Duke Anguo and others. Duke Anguo and I are good friends and we have to avoid suspicion according to the rules."

Duke Yao bowed and saluted.

He didn't want to touch this case at all. Whoever wants to investigate can investigate. He also gave up the idea of ​​avenging Duke Anguo.

Just kidding, the murderer is a demigod.

So what if he finds out?

The other party made it very clear that demigods cannot be insulted. If he continues to investigate, I am afraid that his Yao family will also have to start funeral arrangements.

"Duke Yao, since you have taken over this case, then continue to investigate. I will not ask for how long it takes to find out."

"If you can't find out, I will not punish you."

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.

Duke Yao smiled bitterly in his heart. This hot potato could not be thrown away. However, since Qin Zhentian did not ask for it, he would just be passive and lazy.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Zhentian said: "You go down first, Xiao Fan, you stay for a while."

Duke Yao withdrew and left.

Xiao Fan and Qin Zhentian were the only ones left in the imperial study.

Qin Zhentian said: "Xiao Fan, the other party is a demigod, and it should be possible for him to enter the ancient forbidden land. I wonder if I can trouble him to go in?"

Xiao Fan said: "Your Majesty, do you want me to talk to that senior and ask him to go to the ancient forbidden land to rescue Qin Yuan, the ancestor?"

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
