Chapter 1009: 464: Shocking Mystery! Fu Lingxi burned at the stake!

Suo Lun and Gao Yin dashed rapidly into the sky prison.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, they finally arrived at the cell where Marquis FuE was imprisoned.

They saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, having died with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

His facial expression was extremely serene, as if he had passed away in his sleep.

Whether it was murder or suicide, one would normally expect a distinct fear before death, hence the expression would be somewhat eerie.

However, there was truly no expression on Marquis FuE’s face at the time, utterly tranquil.

This could only indicate one thing: he died suddenly of a violent death, with no pain, no sensation, no premonition.

Zhuang Zhixuan stepped forward, dipped a silver needle into the fresh blood below FuE’s nostrils, and sniffed it near her nose.

"Master, there is no poison in the blood," Zhuang Zhixuan said.

Suo Lun asked, "Was it suicide, or was it murder?"

"It should be murder!" Zhuang Zhixuan replied.

The situation became grave!

Extremely grave!

Why was FuE killed, if not to silence him!

Someone saw Fu Qi being captured and worried that Marquis FuE, in order to protect his grandson, would make a full confession, so they killed him in advance to silence him.

Suo Lun closed his eyes and said, "Elder Gao, make a trip to my residence and invite the Princess over."

"Yes!" Elder Gao immediately went to the Princess’s mansion.

Meanwhile, Gao Ningqi and Zhuang Zhixuan stayed by Suo Lun’s side as guards.

Suo Lun took a deep breath, gazing at the face of Marquis FuE with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

Indeed, he was considered a remarkable hero of the Rage Wave Kingdom; although he was only ranked second among the nobility, he possessed an exceptional status and was someone no one in the entire kingdom dared provoke.

Unexpectedly, he had now met with an untimely death.

Up until now, Suo Lun was curious about one thing; why would Fu Lingxi marry Count Suo Long?

Alliances through marriage among the nobility are a serious affair, very solemn.

The Fu Family and the Suo Family seemed to have no particularly deep connection in their ancestry.

With FuE dead, Suo Lun would not let Fu Qi off the hook, and Fu Lingxi was also doomed.

Thus, would the once illustrious BaiHuo City fall? Of course, this was all at the whim of Suo Lun, as BaiHuo City’s the Fu Family was already implicated in treason.

But at the moment, Suo Lun had no time to consider the matter of BaiHuo City.

Because FuE’s death was tied to a tremendously significant affair.

What was this affair? Suo Lun did not know! But it definitely had a huge connection with the Rage Wave Kingdom.

...

Today, Fu Qi faced two enormous blows.

The first blow was his aunt, Fu Lingxi, being captured. The second blow, his grandfather FuE died violently!

Thus, his two main pillars of support had collapsed.

Suddenly, Fu Qi felt an immense fear and insecurity.

Upon seeing FuE’s corpse, he first froze completely, disbelieving his own eyes. His grandfather, so powerful, who seemed like he would never fall, had just died like this!

Then, he collapsed to the ground, wailing with a hoarse voice drained of strength.

The entire sky prison was silent, with only the piercing cries of Fu Qi audible.

At this moment, Black Dragon Platform Minor Minister Yin Du hurried over and without a word knelt at Suo Lun’s side, bowing deeply and said, "The criminal Yin Du, greets his grace the Duke."

Suo Lun asked, "The soldiers and Samurai guarding the sky prison, are there any casualties?"

"None," Yin Du replied.

Suo Lun asked, "Then has anyone entered this cell?"

"No," Yin Du replied. "There are only two people who hold the keys to this cell, one is this official, and the other is Elder Gao. Moreover, every time the cell door is opened, it leaves a mark on the lock. But today, there are no traces of this cell being opened."

That’s strange. No one entered this cell.

Yet FuE had died suddenly, murdered to be silenced.

Without entering the cell, how could FuE be killed?

Truly a massive mystery!

...

Two quarters of an hour later, the ethereal Zhi Yan Princess, robed in white, superior to snow, entered the cell.

Approaching the corpse of Marquis FuE, she first put on a pair of thin leather gloves, then flipped open FuE’s eyelids.

After that, she touched his forehead and the back of his head.

Finally, she closed her eyes to feel the surrounding energy field.

Five minutes later...

Zhi Yan said, "Husband, this is a murder committed with the resonance technique of Mental Skill."

She pointed to FuE’s forehead and continued, "Incredibly powerful spiritual energy was injected here to assault FuE’s brain domain. It spiked the spiritual energy in FuE’s brain domain in an instant, exceeding his limit of endurance, causing immediate death! The whole process was very fast, less than one-tenth of a second."

Then, Zhi Yan Princess pointed to the bloodstains at FuE’s mouth, nose, and eyes, saying, "To ensure a one-hit kill, the murderer released such intense spiritual power that it caused a violent resonance within FuE’s brain, making blood vessels burst, with the blood spilling out from the seven orifices."

Suo Lun said, "Is the murderer highly skilled in martial arts?"

Zhi Yan Princess answered, "Extremely skilled, astonishingly so."

Suo Lun asked, "No one entered this cell, how could FuE have been killed?"

Zhi Yan replied, "The murderer, from tens of meters away, killed him through the air."

Instantly, Suo Lun was completely astounded!

How could this be possible?

To kill someone using Mental Skill from dozens of meters away?

Zhi Yan said, "Furthermore, there were many obstacles in between."

Suo Lun said, "Zhi Yan, if it were you, could you do it?"

Zhi Yan replied, "If I had all the data on the target’s brain domain, I could do it."

Suo Lun was truly taken aback!

Without a doubt, this was the most profound martial art in the world, only to be learned at the highest echelons of the Dragon Temple.
