”Fourteenth Prince...”

Seeing the Fourteenth Prince’s carriage ”coincidentally” appear at the city gate of the East City Gate just as the Dragon Slayer Department and the Forbidden Army were about to converge, Qin Tian was instantly shocked.

”Could it be that the Fourteenth Prince and Long Yin are really in cahoots?”

Previously, Qin Tian had some suspicion about this matter. When he saw those black-clothed men at the Fourteenth Prince’s mansion, they looked somewhat like Long Yin’s people. At that time, Qin Tian couldn’t ascertain their identities and could only harbor doubt.

But now, Qin Tian could basically confirm it. The Fourteenth Prince, at least, was definitely connected to Long Yin!

”My God, what the hell is going on?”

Qin Tian frowned, ”Is the Fourteenth Prince in a cooperative relationship with Long Yin? Or is the Fourteenth Prince himself a part of Long Yin?”

No matter what the relationship between the Fourteenth Prince and Long Yin is, Qin Tian found it too incredible.

It’s important to know that Long Yin is specifically targeting the Ice Emperor, with the purpose of killing the Ice Emperor and overthrowing his rule.

And the Fourteenth Prince, he is the son of the Ice Emperor!

This kind of operation?

Qin Tian couldn’t understand.

He had known the Fourteenth Prince for so long, and he could tell that the Fourteenth Prince didn’t seem like someone highly duplicitous or extremely insidious.

Could it be that he was wrong?

Is the Fourteenth Prince also like the Fourth Prince, willing to do anything for the throne, even at the cost of killing his own father, the Ice Emperor?

Qin Tian felt that the Fourteenth Prince wasn’t such a person.

But now, he couldn’t explain this scene at all.

If the Fourteenth Prince isn’t such a person, why would he coincidentally appear here and even assist Long Yin’s top-tier figures in exiting the city?

The Fourteenth Prince’s carriage was stopped by the general guarding the East City Gate.

Qin Tian slowly approached to listen to the conversation between the gatekeeper and the Fourteenth Prince’s servant.

”Your Highness, according to His Majesty’s decree, everyone entering or leaving the city must be checked, please understand.”

The gatekeeping general was very polite to the Fourteenth Prince.

”You insolent thing, you dare to check His Highness’s carriage? Are you looking to die!” The Fourteenth Prince’s servant was infuriated.

”I’m sorry, I’m just following orders, Your Highness, please don’t make things hard for me,” the gatekeeping general squeezed out a smile as he spoke.

”You’re really asking for trouble!”

The servant was about to blow up when a voice came from the carriage. It was the Fourteenth Prince: ”Afu, just let it be. He’s also acting on my Fourth Brother’s orders for inspection, so let him inspect.”

After speaking, the Fourteenth Prince unexpectedly poked his head out from inside the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to the general: ”I’ll personally lift the curtain, General, make sure you see if there’s anything unusual.”

The general glanced inside the carriage, it was empty, and he immediately knelt down to apologize to the Fourteenth Prince: ”Your Highness, I’m simply following orders, please forgive the offense. Your carriage has no issues, my deepest respects as you leave.”

The Fourteenth Prince returned to the carriage and, along with two servants, proceeded out of the gate.

Qin Tian observed from a few meters away. He saw clearly that the Fourteenth Prince’s carriage wasn’t large, and with no place to hide anyone, the Fourteenth Prince even lifted the curtain for the general to see inside the small cabin, which was empty. Everything was laid bare for Qin Tian’s eyes.

”That’s odd... There’s no one inside. Could it be that the Long Yin expert didn’t exit through the Fourteenth Prince’s carriage?”

Qin Tian felt incredibly curious, ”It’s absolutely impossible, San-niang said the Fourteenth Prince’s movements are mysterious and ordinary people can’t track him. Why did he appear at this moment? How coincidental is that?”

But why is there no one?

”There’s no one in the carriage. Could it be... the Fourteenth Prince doesn’t actually need to hide the Long Yin expert to help them exit; he might just be Long Yin himself?!”

Upon realizing this possibility, Qin Tian was somewhat astonished.

Thinking back, the other four Long Yin members protected him at the center, and he appeared extremely noble, which entirely corresponds with the identity of the Fourteenth Prince.

However, Qin Tian couldn’t understand. If the masked black-clothed individual were indeed the Fourteenth Prince, how could his cultivation be explained?

The masked black-clothed person’s skill level was at least in the Great Immortal Realm Late Stage, even beyond the Great Immortal Realm Peak, at least from his actions, Qin Tian could judge his cultivation level was not low.

Does the Fourteenth Prince have such strong cultivation?

He linked this to what Gongsun San-niang said, noted that spies from different avenues would all lose track of the Fourteenth Prince every time... Suddenly his heart tightened!

”The Fourteenth Prince, it seems, is indeed one of Long Yin’s high-level members!”

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, turned around, and saw that the people from the Dragon Slayer Department were still gaining nothing, further solidifying his guess.

”Command a carpet search of all suspicious personnel. Examine everyone carefully! This person is a Long Yin leader, and whoever discovers him will be rewarded with ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!”

”We’re part of the Dragon Slayer Department; we must eliminate Long Yin! This masked guy is Long Yin’s Mr. Shenyue, and whoever kills him will be immediately titled Marquis!”

”This trap we’ve set, this chance can’t be missed!”

As the Forbidden Army began a carpet search, leading the charge were several high-ranking members of the Dragon Slayer Department wearing specially designed armor.

Though their conversation wasn’t loud, they were only one or two miles away from Qin Tian, and unaware, Qin Tian heard their words loud and clear.

The head of Long Yin, Mr. Shenyue!?

Hearing the orders from those few high-ranking members of the Dragon Slayer Department, Qin Tian was utterly shocked—

Could it be that the Fourteenth Prince is actually the person he’s most curious and eager to meet, Long Yin’s Mr. Shenyue?!

Qin Tian found this too unbelievable.

”Was that person just now wearing a mask, holding a high status in Long Yin, having high cultivation, being mysterious... That person’s identity might actually be Mr. Shenyue! But... is the Fourteenth Prince Mr. Shenyue?”

At this moment, Qin Tian was rather flustered, unable to believe the content he had just heard.

However, he remembered that when he first arrived at the Imperial City, the Fourteenth Prince had repeatedly helped him proactively. At that time, they had no prior connection, so why did the Fourteenth Prince help him?

It couldn’t be out of the Fourteenth Prince’s kindness; it was too coincidental for the Fourteenth Prince to appear at just the right time.

Qin Tian thought of a possibility: It might have been that the Fourteenth Prince saw through his identity as being from the Dragon Flame Clan!

”Why could the Fourteenth Prince easily see through? Because he’s part of Long Yin, with a special sense for Dragon Flame Clan bloodline? Or perhaps, at the time, it was Xu Junwei who reported to him.”

Qin Tian felt his thoughts were disordered, unable to validate any of his guesses.

Especially, why should the Fourteenth Prince be Long Yin’s leader? Why would he help Qin Tian, opposing his own father?

”No, I must get to the bottom of this!”

Suspecting the Fourteenth Prince’s carriage hadn’t gone far, Qin Tian quickly moved toward the gate to chase after it out of the city.
