Chapter 159 - Scapegoat

With a sense of urgency, Hu Liena arrived in Heaven Dou City.

However, she didn't dare to openly search for Jiang Xiaofeng.

After several days of careful investigation, the results she obtained were very disappointing.

The most likely person to have killed Yu Xiaogang wasn't Jiang Xiaofeng, but rather a guard of the First Prince, Xue Qinghe. This was because that guard had a conflict with Yu Xiaogang on the night in question.

The next morning, Yu Xiaogang was dead.

Of course, after the investigation, everyone's suspicions still pointed towards Jiang Xiaofeng.

After learning that Jiang Xiaofeng hadn't killed Yu Xiaogang, Hu Liena returned to Wuhun City in a daze.

She didn't care how Yu Xiaogang died; she only wanted to know who had killed him.

When Hu Liena returned to Bibi Dong's side,

"Teacher, I've almost finished investigating. It wasn't Brother Feng. It was one of the guards of Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Bibi Dong was stunned because she knew very well that this Xue Qinghe was actually her daughter, Qian Renxue.

Could it be that the girl has changed?

"Teacher, what did you say?"

Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just saying, isn't that eldest prince in a dangerous position?"

Hu Liena said, "No, not really. After all, there's no actual evidence, just suspicion that his subordinates were involved. Even if they were to kill someone, it would be his subordinates, not the First Prince!"

"Alright, I understand. Given this situation, we'll need to postpone our operation for a bit. Yue Guan, you handle it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

The sudden death of Yu Xiaogang forced Bibi Dong to delay her plans.

She was curious to see how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would resolve this.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

"Your Highness, please stop walking! My head is spinning!"

Xue Qinghe looked at Jiang Xiaofeng with a helpless expression.

"Why did you kill him if he wasn't sick? All the evidence points to you, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will definitely come looking for trouble. I'm just at a loss for what to do."

Jiang Xiaofeng said with a smile, "I thought it was a big deal. Even if all the evidence points to me, do they have concrete proof?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head. "No, they don't. But your status is low. Yu Yuanzhen could have you killed with a single word!"

Jiang Xiaofeng laughed. "Is the royal family so weak?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head. "That's because you don't understand the royal family. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the three major sects, and their strength ranks among the top on the continent. If the Heaven Dou Royal Family were to go to war with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the result would only be mutual destruction. If they hand you over, a small fry, it would be good for both the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Do you understand?"

"Oh, so it's about seeking peace. How boring. In that case, I'll be going!"

Having eaten and wiped his mouth, he wanted to slip away. Jiang Xiaofeng's goal had been completely achieved.

Now was the time to leave!

It seemed a bit late for him to leave now.

"You're not going anywhere. With your Soul Emperor cultivation, you're just a nobody in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Besides, they're already here!"

Jiang Xiaofeng frowned. His current abilities were indeed at a disadvantage against a Title Douluo.

But even if I can't win, I can still run.

"Many thanks to the First Prince for his care these past few days. I won't bother you any further. Bye-bye!"

With that, Jiang Xiaofeng took off, not giving Xue Qinghe a chance to speak.

Watching Jiang Xiaofeng leave, Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly.

"Young master, that fellow's goal was probably to kill Yu Xiaogang. Now that he's completed his task, he's shifting the responsibility onto you. Do you need me to stop him?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head and said, "It won't be that easy for him to leave. Guards have already been deployed inside and outside Heaven Dou City. If he leaves, someone will definitely pursue him. We can only pray that he's lucky!"

Xue Qinghe wanted to save him, but he still had a mission to complete. If he were exposed, everything he had done would be in vain.

Now, Xue Qinghe could only silently pray that the guy named Jiang Xiaofeng could escape the pursuit.

Jiang Xiaofeng had just left the palace when he realized he had a tail.

"Tch, following me??? Your grandpa isn't afraid of being followed!"

But Jiang Xiaofeng underestimated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. They were clearly planning to use Jiang Xiaofeng as a scapegoat. Even if he didn't kill anyone, they wanted him dead.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng's movements had already been locked onto by people from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In his previous life, Jiang Xiaofeng was already accustomed to being tracked, followed, and pursued.

Now, he was experiencing this feeling on the Douluo Continent, and it even made Jiang Xiaofeng's blood boil.

Jiang Xiaofeng used his nimble footwork to leave the city center of Heaven Dou City, heading towards the suburbs, which signaled the start of a great battle.

The first to attack was a Soul Emperor from the Heaven Dou Royal Family; his martial soul was a bow and arrow! Countless arrows shot towards Jiang Xiaofeng.

"Tch, a small trick!"

In the forest outside the city, Jiang Xiaofeng weaved left and right, making it difficult for the arrows to harm him, not even able to slow him down.

"Bold rogue, don't even think about escaping, take this!"

One Soul Master after another appeared from both sides.

Jiang Xiaofeng began his escape.

Rather than an escape, it was more like training Jiang Xiaofeng's ability to be pursued.

These Soul Masters behind him, except for the Soul Douluo, who presented some difficulty, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't take the others seriously at all.

Because of this, Jiang Xiaofeng would stop and go, fight and stop. When the pursuers were about to lose patience, Jiang Xiaofeng would occasionally kill a Soul Master, provoking their anger.

In this way, Jiang Xiaofeng led dozens of Soul Masters from Heaven Dou City all the way to Gengxin City.

At this point, only one Soul Douluo remained outside of Gengxin City!

Lying around him were the last three of his teammates.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaofeng was in tattered clothes, covered in soot. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a beggar.

The Zhuxian Sword hovered in front of Jiang Xiaofeng.

"Are you going to fight or not? You're the only one left!"

The remaining person was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

For the sake of Yu Xiaogang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lost over a dozen Soul Masters. In the end, he was probably going to die here too.

"I won't fight anymore. I'll let you go today!"

After saying this, each Soul Master actually turned around, intending to leave. However, Jiang Xiaofeng's Zhuxian Sword wouldn't agree.

"One Step to the Horizon!"

Jiang Xiaofeng appeared behind the guy and gently patted his shoulder.

"Did I say you could leave?"

The soul master was scared and ran away.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon's Roar!"

The Zhuxian Sword descended from the sky, shaking the surroundings.

It gave the soul master, who hadn't run far, a chilling experience.

Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and the Zhuxian Sword returned to his hand.

"Finally, I have the experience of my previous life. Thank you all!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng, wearing ragged clothes, slowly walked into Gengxin City.
