"Oh! So that is the Bead City that the daughter of the Bing Family just mentioned! It’s also the dock where our Shadow Turtle Race connects and trades with the outside world!" said the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
Xue An’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light, "So, in that case, doesn’t this count as your territory, Lord Turtle Emperor?"
"Of course!"
"Then would Lord Turtle Emperor be interested in accompanying me to take a look at this city?"
The Shadow Turtle Emperor was slightly stunned, not understanding what Xue An meant.
Even Yue Qinghuan wore a face of confusion.
Xue An, however, looked brightly at the distant city and said casually, "I have a premonition that the matter Lord Turtle Emperor asked me to investigate is intricately linked to this city!"
As these words were spoken, both the Shadow Turtle Emperor and Yue Qinghuan were taken aback.
Especially the Shadow Turtle Emperor, who couldn’t believe his ears.
"Are you saying that it’s the people of Bead City who betrayed me?" the Shadow Turtle Emperor roared fiercely.
"I can’t make a definitive conclusion yet, I can only say it’s a possibility," Xue An said calmly.
Even so, the Shadow Turtle Emperor was incredibly furious.
"I’ve entrusted countless authorities and wealth to the managers of this city, and they dare betray me? Unforgivable!"
As he spoke, the aura around the Shadow Turtle Emperor skyrocketed, vaguely resembling that of a Half-step Saint.
This showed how terrifying the power of this naturally-born, thousand-year-old beast was.
But he didn’t lose his reason; after a few angry roars, he glared at Xue An with blood-red eyes.
"Hua Clan’s powerful one, I hope you know what you’re doing. If I find out that you are making groundless accusations, even if you are from the Hua Clan, I will tear you to pieces bit by bit!"
Facing the threat from the Shadow Turtle Emperor, Xue An merely smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, if I didn’t have any basis, I wouldn’t say such things!"
"Hmph! I hope so." The Shadow Turtle Emperor snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Xue An and Yue Qinghuan followed him.
But midway, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but ask worriedly, "Xue An, do you really have any evidence? Is the Shadow Turtle Race’s disappearance really related to Bead City?"
"Evidence... I don’t have any, of course!"
"What?" Yue Qinghuan’s eyes widened instantly, then glanced at the aggressive Shadow Turtle Emperor in front, lowering her voice.
"Why would you say something like that without evidence? Isn’t that asking for trouble?"
At this, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but shake her head angrily, "I must be an idiot. You just arrived from beyond The Multiverse, how could you possibly have evidence?"
Hearing this, Xue An glanced at Yue Qinghuan, then smiled inscrutably, "I may not have evidence, but I’m confident. Because with a little thought, you can see the oddities in a lot of things!"
"What do you mean?" Yue Qinghuan was taken aback.
"It’s simple. Just now, the Shadow Turtle Emperor said that when his clansmen disappeared, he was completely unaware!"
"But in the Death Dark Domain, his absolute domain, nothing could escape his notice. So there are only two possibilities."
"One is that the perpetrator’s power is far superior to his, so they could accomplish this without being detected. But think about it, if the perpetrator truly had such overwhelming power, why not directly attack the Shadow Turtle Emperor? So this possibility is very slim!"
"The other is that someone who is very familiar with the Shadow Turtle Race acted secretly. Only then could the Shadow Turtle Race lower their guard and deceive the Shadow Turtle Emperor. This way, the most qualified suspects with the greatest motive naturally point to Bead City!"
After hearing Xue An’s analysis, Yue Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, finally giving Xue An a deep look.
"Did you think of all this in such a short time?"
"Is there a problem?"
Yue Qinghuan said nothing more.
Because she suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
