Mu Jinyu heard Ji Changkong's words and thought to himself, "This is bad."

He killed Ji Changfei and naturally took his Qiankun Ring.

But he didn't know that Ji Changkong had this trick up his sleeve.

However, after finishing at the Life and Death Creation Pool, he also checked Ji Changfei's Qiankun Ring. There wasn't anything valuable inside, just a unique magic treasure he didn't know how to use, so he put everything from the killings into the Earth Emperor's Tome to suppress it.

He wondered if Ji Changkong would be able to detect this.

Logically, it shouldn't be detected since the Earth Emperor's Tome is the Human Emperor's treasure, not easily discovered.

Nevertheless, Ji Changkong spoke so confidently, it inevitably made people feel a bit tense.

"Alright, Changkong, give it a try!"

The elder of the Ji Clan, upon hearing Ji Changkong's words, immediately thought of something and nodded.

"In this way, you won't interrupt us anymore, will you?"

The elder of the Ji Clan spoke while turning to look at the elders of other royal clans and the Vice Manor Master Wang Yeqing of Dongyue Mansion, asking in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"However, if nothing is found, you must not continue with unruly behavior!"

"Indeed, if nothing is found, it indicates Ji Changfei might have encountered an accident in the Secret Realm, so don't blame it on us!"

The elders of other royal clans couldn't say no, but they also wouldn't agree to fruitless investigations, allowing unchecked chaos.

"Alright!"

"I agree!"

The elder of the Ji Clan thought about it, knowing that if Ji Changkong finds nothing, it would be unreasonable to insist on checking everyone's Qiankun Ring and body.

So they could only agree.

Moreover, they believed, if someone on site killed Ji Changfei and took his Qiankun Ring and magic treasure, it would definitely be found!

"Changkong, go ahead!"

After agreeing, the elder of the Ji Clan turned to Ji Changkong, indicating he could start.

Ji Changkong nodded, then took out a flying sword from his Qiankun Ring, emitting a faint blue light, looking very special, as if carved from ice crystal!

"This seems to be a replica of the Yin sword from the Yin-Yang Qiankun Sword, the Ji Clan's treasure, right?"

"Even if it is a replica, it still possesses powers close to those of the Creation Divine Weapon!"

"No wonder the Ji Clan is aggressive, insisting on finding out about Ji Changfei's death. Besides seeking revenge, they probably want to retrieve the Yang Sword!"

"It's said the Yin-Yang Qiankun Sword is tied to the Ji Clan's Core Technique, and even the replica contains parts of the Profound Mystery, so it can't be lost."

Witnessing the Yin Sword Ji Changkong took out, everyone at the scene observed and whispered to each other in curiosity and contemplation.

"Clang!"

Ji Changkong took out the replica of the Yinqian Sword, began to wield it, and tried to induce the presence of the Yang Kun Sword nearby, with his eyes coldly scanning everyone present.

He wanted to find potential clues to the killer from their subtle facial expressions!

Unfortunately, Ji Changkong didn't know he'd previously seen his brother Ji Changfei's death firsthand but had long forgotten it now.

His gaze slowly swept over Mu Jinyu, though feeling that his face, for some reason, made him uncomfortable, he couldn't remember having any interaction with him.

It seemed perhaps that face was too handsome, triggering subconscious resistance and aversion!

Thinking of this, Ji Changkong decided if he had the chance, he'd ruin the guy's looks!

"Clang clang clang!!"

At that moment, the replica of the Yinqian Sword in his hand was fully activated, emitting fierce clanging sounds, trying to summon the Yang Kun Sword back.

But the scene remained calm!

No other disturbances occurred!

No one had their Qiankun Ring uncontrollably opened or their Dantian Sea of Consciousness destroyed, allowing the Yang Kun Sword to appear.

"How could this happen?!"

"Damn it!"

"Could it be that Changfei really had an accident in the Tiangan Secret Realm, and the replica of the Yang Kun Sword is also left there?"

Witnessing this, the elders of the Ji Clan all wore faces dark as if covered by storm clouds, roaring unwillingly.

Meanwhile, the elders of the Jiang, Si, Ying, and Gui Clans secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were worried before that one of their disciples might have killed Ji Changfei and obtained the replica of the Yang Kun Sword.

If that were the case, under Ji Changkong's activation of the magic treasure, the disciple who acquired the Yang Kun Sword would die, and they couldn't blame the Ji Clan's elders for it.

Luckily, Ji Changfei wasn't killed by a disciple from their clans, so they need not worry any further.

They even secretly rejoiced that one of the Ji Clan's talented twins had fallen.

And the replica of the Yang Kun Sword was accidentally lost in the Tiangan Secret Realm.

Now, the Ji Clan truly lost both the face and the treasure!

Mu Jinyu remained calm, showing no reaction.

But in his heart, he was secretly sweating.

He could sense the excitement and struggle of the Yang Kun Sword inside the Earth Emperor's Tome, trying to escape.

He hadn't fully refined the Earth Emperor's Tome, as it's a magic treasure of the Ancestral Weapon Level, far beyond what ordinary people can refine.

So he almost lost control of the Earth Emperor's Tome, allowing the Yang Kun Sword to escape.

Fortunately, they foolishly mentioned how even the Dantian can't hide the magic treasure, letting him prepare in advance by using the Three Life Stone to suppress the Yang Kun Sword.

Only then did the Yang Kun Sword fail to break free.

Mu Jinyu quietly felt fortunate.

If he had merely collected the Qiankun Rings and items of those he killed randomly then, he might have been unable to protect them now.

He would have undoubtedly exposed himself as the one who killed Ji Changfei.

Then he would either be suppressed by the joint forces of the royal clan elders or would have to fight his way out and escape Xilan Province.

Fortunately, hiding his actions kept him in peace and allowed him to continue his cultivation without pursuing threats.

Ji Changkong's failure also cast a shadow on the Yaao Clan, prompting them to let Yao Lingfeng try to identify the killer of Yaao Yunfei.

It was still ineffective.

"Alright, stop wasting time. Since nothing else can be uncovered, it indicates they met with accidents in the Tiangan Secret Realm. Such incidents have happened before, haven't they?"

"Exactly, now that they have finally emerged from Tiangan Secret Realm, the urgent task is to take them back and consolidate their foundation!"

After failing to identify the causes behind the deaths of core members from Ji Clan and Yaao Clan, the other royal clans along with the Mansion Master and Institute Head of Dongyue Mansion urged for departure.

Though the elders of the Yaao and Ji Clans were very unwilling to accept the reality, hearing the urgencies raised in protest:

"In past incidents, we've used the Round Light Mirror to see the reasons clearly, but this time, many people died under a layer of hazy blood light, completely unclear!"

"Among you are some disciples who died under this layer of blood light, don't you want to investigate?"

While protesting, a sudden realization struck the Ji Clan elder, eyes lighting up in surprise, exclaiming: "Wait, I remember now, many died under the blood light, but among them, there seemed to be no one from Dongyue Mansion affected by it?"
