Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2221: Chapter 2221: Is it a True Death or a Feigned Death?

He found it quite strange.

“A month ago.”

An Jiuyue’s gaze flickered. She turned her head slightly to look at Qian Jiyun.

A month ago—that was precisely when they had just departed from the Yiinn Family to head to the Beikun Kingdom. Was this timing merely a coincidence?

“Well, that’s quite the convenient death,” she remarked quietly.

“I hope that monarch is truly dead!” Qian Jiyun spoke coldly.

If he wasn’t, Qian Jiyun didn’t mind finishing him off with One Palm Strike to ensure he stayed cold for good!

Listening to their conversation, the Ninth Prince felt a sense of unease. The death of the Monarch Emperor of the Jun Empire truly seemed too coincidental. It was as if he had taken his own life in fear the moment he heard that the High Priest Demon Heart had been invited by the Yiinn Family to mediate matters.

If that were true, then this monarch was certainly a clever man. Unlike the Emperor of Beikun or his Emperor brother, who had stubbornly refused to believe the High Priest Demon Heart was truly involved until it was too late.

But this monarch? The moment he heard the news, he died.

Whether it was a real death or a staged one, at least he believed it to be true, didn’t he? And surely, that belief wasn’t wrong… right?

…

The affairs of the Central Imperial Country had all been handed over. General Ning hadn’t even had the chance to wait for An Jiuyue and the others to question him. Instead, wave after wave of assassins targeted him; what had started as a rescue mission had turned into multiple attempts on his life. Unable to bear the disgrace, the once mighty great general bit his own tongue and committed suicide.

As for others who needed to be dealt with, the Ninth Prince personally oversaw their cases. With the new emperor ascending to the throne, An Jiuyue and the others had no need to linger for a spectacle.

Thus, they set off for the Jun Empire.

The Jun Empire, Capital Luo City.

In a desolate courtyard, inside a concealed secret chamber.

The sound of a teacup shattering filled the air, sending water splashing across the ground. A man glared furiously at the black-clothed man who had brought the report. Those eyes—they practically looked like they wanted to carve a piece of flesh straight from the black-clothed man’s body.

“Did I not tell you to spread the news? Why is the High Priest Demon Heart still coming to the Jun Empire?”

“Your Majesty, I truly did spread the news. Many in the Central Imperial Country’s capital are aware, including those in Prince Jin’s Mansion. I have no idea why the High Priest Demon Heart would still be coming to the Jun Empire.”

The black-clothed man was just as vexed. He had delivered the news to the Central Imperial Country as soon as possible. So why in the world was the High Priest Demon Heart still coming?

The Jun Empire had already changed its monarch. What could the High Priest Demon Heart want now?

“Damn it!”

The Monarch Emperor gritted his teeth as his bloodshot eyes glared at the black-clothed man before him.

He knew he shouldn’t vent his anger on a subordinate, but it was clear that the High Priest Demon Heart must have suspected something, which was why they were coming.

Could it be… they had figured out he’d faked his death? If that were the case, how could he possibly escape this disaster? He had no intention of ending up like the Emperor of Beikun or the Central Emperor, killed in their prime.

“If I’d known this would happen, I never would’ve trusted the Emperor of Beikun back then to go after the Yiinn Family!”

Sure, he had wanted the Yiinn Family’s treasures. But no matter how many treasures there were, one still needed to stay alive to enjoy them. If his life was forfeited, what good were those treasures?

But who could have foreseen… that the High Priest Demon Heart would appear here in person?

Upon hearing his words, the black-clothed man raised his head slightly to glance at him.

The matters with the Yiinn Family—what use was there to revisit them now? What was done, was done. All that remained was to endure the Yiinn Family’s vengeance against his majesty.

“Your Majesty, could it be… those people aren’t actually the High Priest Demon Heart, but merely sent by the Yiinn Family to scare us?” he asked.
