Rebirth Of The Ous Crown Prince - Chapter 34

“Hm? Elder Wu, do you know this disciple?” Yuan Shuchun who didn’t understand the situation of Seventh Peak Outer Court very well couldn’t help but ask Elder Wu when he shouted the disciple’s name.

“Not just know, I am quite familiar with him. Kang Bai was a very talented and one of the most powerful disciples taking part in this Hunt.” Elder Wu turned towards Yuan Shuchun and said, “Miss Yuan, this disciple wasn’t only talented, but his background was also huge. And to think he would have such an unfateful death, I really can’t help but sigh at his luck.”

Yuan Shuchun stayed silent for a moment before asking, “What was his background? Will this incident be troublesome?”

“Kang Bai was the most talented disciple of the Capital’s Kang Clan. As one of the Big Four, Kang Clan is indeed capable of causing some trouble. However, there’s nothing to worry about. We only need to glorify this ‘accident’ and Kang Bai’s heroic deed of killing a high tier Qi Stealing Mole and saving the lives of more than four hundred Outer Court disciples.”

Lai Chang at the side nodded his head and said, “Yes, this is the only thing we can do right now. Or else, this whole incident will become very suspicious, and with everything going on in the sect, I don’t think Seventh Peak has enough to deal with upcoming extra pressure.”

Yuan Shuchun frowned and asked, “But the Kang Clan will still create trouble, won’t they?”

“Miss Yuan, the Kang Clan can shout as much as they can, but in the end, they are outsiders only. As long as there’s not a legitimate reason, I don’t think the Sect will side by them. So, what we do need to be careful about is our Sect itself.”

“And you don’t need to be worried much about that too, only four people know the truth of this incident including you. And I don’t think anyone of the four will even want to be a snitch. And more importantly, it won’t do any good even if anyone leaks it; it will instead backfire. And all four of us will be in trouble,” Elder Lai Chang patiently explained to her and assured her to not to worry about anything.

Elder Wu got up and said, “Let’s head back. The event is about to finish. We will tell the ‘truth’ of the incident to the disciple’s and continue with the third stage. Also, we need to bring his body with us and send it to the Second Peak. They will handle the rest.”

“Yes, let’s head back. Though, it’s a bit regrettable that the high tier beast’s body is going to be wasted due to its self-destruction.” Elder Lai Chang couldn’t help but think that he has missed a chance to become rich.

“Well, us going back unharmed is already a fortune for us. Don’t let your greed cover your senses.” Elder Wu replied as he took the lead with Kang Bai’s body in his hands.

It had been more than an hour since his battle with the high tier Qi Stealing Mole, and Ye Tian Yun was now back to collecting beast cores by hunting down low tier Qi Stealing Mole.

Ever since that incident, he had yet to meet any other disciple. After some consideration, he decided to head back towards the entrance. He was confident in his points, and now the rest of the event was going to be even more comfortable.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shuchun, Elder Wu and Elder Lai Chang returned to the Observation Room with Kang Bai’s body.

When Elder Mu saw them enter with a body, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Kang Bai?”

The others were surprised at this question, Elder Lai Chang confirmed and asked, “Indeed, it is Outer Court Disciple Kang Bai; however, brother Mu, how did you guess it?

Elder Mu, who had stayed back at the room, couldn’t help but shout out loud when he heard Elder Lai Chang’s confirmation, “It really is Kang Bai!? I was a bit unsure earlier, this incident has affected the Qi Array, and now most of the screens are blurred.”

“Blurred? Elder Mu, did you witness the battle?” Yuan Shuchun couldn’t help but ask Elder Mu since it was possible that he could have seen what had actually happened in that battle.

“Unfortunately, no. That area’s Array lost connection soon after the high tier Qi Stealing Mole came out of his cage. I tried to reestablish connection but couldn’t, most probably the beast had already destroyed the sidewalls,” Elder Mu explained the situation on what had happened in the Observation Room.

“Ah, so you didn’t see anyone moving around there earlier?” Elder Wu asked, he too thought that if there was something they had missed, then it can come to light now.

“I did see someone. As soon as I lost connection to that area, I saw Kang Bai go after the commotion, who went there most probably out of curiosity. This was also the reason why I was able to guess who this disciple could be,” Elder Mu told about everything he had seen from the observation room.

“What? You saw him going after you lost the connection?” Elder Wu was shocked at this new turn of events.

“Yeah, I saw him moving towards that area, what happened?” Elder Mu, who was still unaware of the situation, looked at them in confusion.

“If you saw him go there after you lost connection, I’m pretty sure that there was someone else present at the scene, a third party, and he murdered Kang Bai!” Elder Wu narrowed his eyes and came to a big conclusion.
