98: Don't panic, everyone.

The faces of all the officials were filled with shock.

Prince Yi was Dugu Yi's biological younger brother and a core member of the Imperial Family, yet he had been murdered. This was truly shocking.

One must know that in the Southern Region, the Xuan Yue Dynasty was the top-tier power.

As long as Dugu Xin revealed his identity, few people would dare to harm him.

But now, Dugu Xin had truly been murdered, which was baffling.

"Third Uncle, do you know who did it?"

Dugu Yi did not explode in rage; instead, he calmly looked at the old man below and asked.

Although he was also very angry, as an Emperor, he could not show it.

"Reporting, Your Majesty, there are temporarily no clues. The people of Prince Yi's Estate do not know where Prince Yi went." The old man replied, standing straight.

"Damn it! How dare you kill my younger brother! I will not let you off."

Dugu Yi gripped the Dragon Throne tightly with both hands and continued speaking to the old man, "Third Uncle, please bring out the Soul Chasing Mirror. I must find out who killed my brother Xin."

He and Dugu Xin were biological brothers born of the same mother. Now that Dugu Xin was dead, how could he not investigate?

Since there were no clues at Prince Yi's Estate, he had to use the Nation-Guarding Treasure to find the murderer of Dugu Xin.

"Understood, Your Majesty. I will go to the Soul Tablet Hall and fetch the Soul Chasing Mirror now."

The old man agreed and hurried out of the Main Hall.

This Soul Chasing Mirror was the Nation-Guarding Treasure of his Xuan Yue Dynasty, and it was a Pseudo-Emperor Artifact.

This mirror could not only unleash powerful Soul Attacks but could also trace the final moments of the deceased using their soul aura.

Although Dugu Xin had already perished, his Soul Life Tablet still retained fragments of his soul, which could be used to perform a Secret Technique to reveal and lock onto the aura of his murderer.

Not long after the old man left, he returned to the Main Hall.

In his hand was an additional silver mirror carved with mysterious patterns.

"Your Majesty, shall we activate it now?" the old man asked Dugu Yi, who was seated on the Dragon Throne.

He was a guardian of the Dugu Family, watching over the Soul Tablet Hall.

Everything related to this area was his responsibility.

"Third Uncle, thank you for your hard work!" Dugu Yi nodded in confirmation.

"Very well, then this old man shall begin."

Receiving Dugu Yi's confirmation, the old man no longer hesitated and immediately shot several streams of Spiritual Energy into the Soul Chasing Mirror.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Under the amplification of the old man's Spiritual Energy, the Soul Chasing Mirror instantly grew dozens of times larger, floating in the air of the Main Hall.

While continuously inputting Spiritual Energy, the old man threw Dugu Xin's soul fragments into the Soul Chasing Mirror.

Immediately, the entire Soul Chasing Mirror flashed with bar-shaped waves, preparing to track and lock onto Dugu Xin's murderer.

"Ah! Soul Trace!"

Seeing the condition of the Soul Chasing Mirror, the old man knew he was about to succeed. He immediately roared and increased the output of Spiritual Energy.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

With the massive Spiritual Energy amplification, the bar-shaped waves on the Soul Chasing Mirror decreased, and the mirror surface became clearer and clearer.

Dugu Yi and the officials in the Main Hall stared intently at the Soul Chasing Mirror.

Because as soon as the ripples on the Soul Chasing Mirror disappeared, the murderer of Dugu Xin would be revealed on the mirror surface, and their location would be tracked.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Under everyone's gaze, the Soul Chasing Mirror let out a roar.

Just as the ripples on the mirror surface were about to completely disappear, a cold snort echoed from within the mirror.

"Pfft!"

It was only this light snort.

Dugu Yi, the officials in the Main Hall, and Dugu Yi's Third Uncle all instantly spat out blood.

Before they could react, another word came from the Soul Chasing Mirror.

"Die!"

As soon as the word 'Die' was uttered.

Dugu Yi's Third Uncle instantly exploded into a cloud of bloody mist, which floated onto the faces of Dugu Yi and the others.

Following this, the Soul Chasing Mirror suspended in the air roared a few times before shattering, sending fragments flying onto Dugu Yi and the others.

"Ahhh!"

Screams immediately rang out in the Main Hall. Some officials who were hit in vital spots perished on the spot.

Dugu Yi and the officials who were not hit in vital spots were no better off; they were all severely injured and would never recover without powerful healing treasures.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The guards outside the door heard the screams and commotion inside the Main Hall and immediately entered.

Upon seeing the Main Hall covered in blood, with Dugu Yi and the ministers lying in pools of blood.

They immediately helped the blood-soaked Dugu Yi, whose clothes were tattered, to sit back on the throne.

"I'm... I'm fine. All of you leave and close the hall doors. Not a single word of what happened here is to be revealed. Violators will have their nine generations exterminated." Dugu Yi, his face full of terror, stammered to the incoming guards.

Everything just happened too quickly; they couldn't react at all.

However, based on those two sounds, they could determine that the person who killed Dugu Xin was an extremely terrifying existence.

It was at least an old monster with half a foot stepped into the Great Emperor Realm, or perhaps even a true Great Emperor.

Such a figure had already begun to control the Power of Rules, and they were simply beyond tracking.

No matter what secret technique or treasure was used, it would be discovered by the opponent and rebound.

Now the Soul Chasing Mirror was destroyed, his Third Uncle was dead, and so many ministers suffered alongside them. The entire Xuan Yue Dynasty was severely weakened.

Therefore, he could not let this matter spread, lest external enemies seize the opportunity to attack.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although the guards didn't know why Dugu Yi wanted to do this, they still obeyed the order, exited the Main Hall, and closed the doors.

"Your... Your Majesty, the person who killed Prince Yi is too terrifying. What should we do?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. For such a terrifying existence, killing us is like crushing an ant."

After the hall doors were closed.

The surviving ministers also scrambled to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

Just a snort and a single word 'Die' reduced them to this state. With such terrifying strength, they could no longer imagine what level of Cultivation that person possessed.

Now they hated Dugu Xin to death. It was bad enough that this beast died, but he had to drag them down with him.

If they hadn't been standing further back today, they would have gone to reincarnation along with the others.

"Everyone, don't panic."

Dugu Yi sat on the throne, slowly sweeping his gaze over the ministers below. "Since such a Powerful Expert did not come to the Xuan Yue Dynasty to kill us, it means he disdains to make a move against us. As long as we don't provoke him, there shouldn't be any danger."

"Shouldn't be any danger?"

The surviving ministers all rolled their eyes upon hearing Dugu Yi's words.

How could such a terrifying Powerful Expert be judged by common sense? Just because there was no danger now didn't mean there wouldn't be danger later.

If this terrifying Powerful Expert became unhappy and recalled the matter of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, wouldn't they be sent to heaven at any moment?
