Chapter 2567: A Few Jade Slips

"Honored Envoy, we have investigated Lord Jun's matter for years without finding any leads. But Yuqin recently discovered a clue!" said the Crown Prince.

"Oh? Tell me!" Cheng Chongshan frowned.

"Yuqin believes that Lord Jun may have died at the hands of Ye Yuan!" the Crown Prince's words were startling.

Cheng Chongshan became very interested and said, "How so?"

The Crown Prince said, "Lord Jun fell at the exact time Ye Yuan ascended! Moreover, he ascended from the Inklight Forest! Yuqin knows this sounds incredible, but Ye Yuan himself is full of mysteries! Since arriving in Donglin, he has done too many impossible things! If Lord Jun was careless and fell into his hands, it's not impossible!"

Cheng Chongshan showed a contemplative expression and fell silent.

The situation in Donglin was settled, but Qiao Yuqin's heart was not dead!

He intended to curry favor with Cheng Chongshan, but unfortunately, these people's minds were not on this at all, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

The Crown Prince had thoroughly investigated Ye Yuan and was now fully aware of what happened after Ye Yuan's ascension.

He had discovered a coincidence that made him ecstatic!

That was, the death of Jun Tian and Ye Yuan's ascension overlapped exactly in time!

Thus, he wanted to speak to Cheng Chongshan, hoping to use Cheng Chongshan's hand to overthrow Ye Yuan.

Once Ye Yuan fell, his opportunity would come.

Unfortunately, Cheng Chongshan and his group had gone deep into the ancient tomb and only recently returned.

Who would have expected that after their return, some were injured, others poisoned.

He never imagined that Ye Yuan and the envoy would actually come into conflict!

The Crown Prince felt this was a godsend!

He only needed to inform Cheng Chongshan of this matter; without him saying anything, Cheng Chongshan would help him eliminate this obstacle.

For Cheng Chongshan, who killed Jun Tian was not important.

What mattered was giving an account to the sect!

Of course, not everyone was qualified to be the scapegoat.

If he just grabbed some random nobody and brought him back, how could the sect believe he was the murderer?

It would also be unconvincing to others!

Previously, the most suitable candidate was naturally the Donglin Emperor.

But now, it was Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan's prestige in Donglin was too high!

In fact, it was higher than the Emperor's.

If he became the murderer, Cheng Chongshan could kill Ye Yuan, making an example of him, and naturally intimidate the borderlands!

What a coincidence!

As for whether Ye Yuan was really the murderer, it didn't matter at all!

Soon, Cheng Chongshan understood the key point, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the Crown Prince and smiled, "Qiao Yuqin, you are very clever. You know what I need! This news of yours is indeed very useful to me! What you want, I will give you. But from now on, you should know what to do, need I say more?"

Qiao Yuqin was overjoyed, bowed his head, and said, "Yuqin will henceforth be the Envoy's man, ready to die for you!"

Cheng Chongshan said, "However, this brat is proficient in spatial rules, his movement technique is extremely strange, not easy to deal with! I will send a message back to the sect, requesting the sect to send an expert to capture this villain! As for this period, keep a low profile!"

Qiao Yuqin was ecstatic and said repeatedly, "Rest assured, Envoy, Yuqin will act discreetly!"

...

One day, Cheng Chongshan, along with his junior brothers and sisters, carried a large number of gifts and arrived at the National Preceptor's Mansion.

Along the way, it caused a huge sensation.

Naturally, people did not know about the discord between Cheng Chongshan and Ye Yuan; they only knew that Ye Yuan was the Donglin National Preceptor.

Even the envoy from Yuzhen Heavenly Sect had to personally visit to seek the National Preceptor's treatment.

This was truly impressive!

"Tsk tsk, our Donglin Kingdom is really impressive this time! Even the envoy has to come to seek medical treatment!"

"I heard that the envoys are very arrogant, even the Emperor has to be cautious around them. But in front of the National Preceptor, they still have to lower their posture!"

"That day, Envoy Cheng was severely poisoned and poisoned over a hundred people along the way! In the end, the National Preceptor cured him with a miraculous hand!"

...

The residents of the imperial city felt proud seeing their National Preceptor's prowess.

Moreover, since Ye Yuan became National Preceptor, the gates of the mansion had changed from their former aloofness to being approachable.

Anyone with illness or disaster could come for consultation.

Of course, most illnesses never reached Ye Yuan; they were handled by Lin Lan, Jiang Yu, and the Tang family.

But some tricky problems were personally solved by Ye Yuan.

Thus, although Ye Yuan had not been National Preceptor for long, he was deeply loved by the people.

Cheng Chongshan saw Ye Yuan, smiled, and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Ye, do you think my sincerity this time is enough?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I don't care about these empty reputations. Is there anything practical?"

Cheng Chongshan had a smile on his face but was filled with hatred inside.

But he also knew that if he didn't offer something this time, he wouldn't get through this.

Helplessly, he took out a few jade slips and handed them to Ye Yuan with both hands, saying, "These jade slips were obtained by me in the ancient tomb this time. They were hidden in a secret place, and I almost died getting them. However, the jade slips have extremely powerful restrictions that I cannot break. But I think they should be extremely precious items!"

Ye Yuan took the jade slips and immersed his divine sense into them, only to be blocked by a vast force.

The power of the restriction was extremely strong and unfathomable.

The information within was probably extremely important.

Ye Yuan naturally knew what Cheng Chongshan was thinking: the items were good, but if you couldn't open them, what use were they?

Cheng Chongshan had definitely tried various means on these jade slips but still couldn't open them.

If he could open them, he certainly wouldn't have taken them out.

So, he simply did Ye Yuan a favor and gave them to him.

However, Ye Yuan had a different idea.

The restrictions in the jade slips were a treasure to Ye Yuan.

If he could thoroughly study them, his attainments in formations would surely reach a higher level.

And he was very interested in what was hidden inside.

Ye Yuan was very satisfied with this gift!

It could be said that everyone was happy.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Cheng is thoughtful. I like this gift very much."

Cheng Chongshan smiled and said, "I'm glad Brother Ye likes it!"

But in his heart, he sneered.

This restriction was set by a Yuhuang Heavenly Position expert, definitely a fourth-grade restriction!

How could a mere minor Extreme Heavenly Position like you open it?

Not to mention Ye Yuan, even the elders of the sect probably couldn't open it!

Moreover, even if you could open it, you would still be doomed!

Having received the gift, Ye Yuan naturally had to do the work.

Wu Shuang's poison seemed severe, but it wasn't actually that strong.

At least, for Ye Yuan, it was like that.

When Ye Yuan acted, it was naturally a simple task.

As for the injuries of Cheng Chongshan's junior brother, they were even less of a problem.
