"I think it's unlikely!" Liu Jixiang was also shocked, shook his head as if he was about to throw all the incredible things out of his head, and then said: "So I guess that Long Fei might not have died at Xia Fan's hands, and the murderer was probably someone else."

"Are you talking about Master Bao, Yushi and Old Huang?" Liu Xingchen immediately understood who Liu Jixiang was doubting, and he actually had such speculation.

"The emperor is wise, with the simple view of my servants, although Xia Fan is insidious and cunning, and has some strength, it is unlikely to kill Long Fei in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm. Otherwise, if he really could do it, why should Master Bao, Yushi, Huang Lao and others come forward to see him off when he left a few days ago. It was just a fox-like power and wanted to scare Long Fei away." Liu Jixiang said this and smiled coldly: "Later Xia Fan was chased by Long Fei and ran around, which is enough to show that he did not have the ability to fight head-on with Long Fei and win, otherwise he would just kill Long Fei, so why would he run away in a panic for so long?"

"Even if Xia Fanzhen has some skills, he can fight with Long Fei or even defeat him, he may not be able to kill him." Liu Jixiang said: "It is not easy to defeat a powerful master. It is even more difficult to kill a powerful master. Unless someone with the strength to crush Long Fei, he will not even have the chance to call for help. That is unlikely. In the opinion of a servant, those who have both the strength to take action and the motivation are now just three people, including Master Bao, Yu Shi and Old Huang."

"Well, you're right." Liu Xingchen did not listen to Liu Jixiang's words blindly, but thought about various possibilities himself. In the end, he still felt that Liu Jixiang was talking about the greatest possibility. Because the three of them had the strength of the middle-level Grandmaster realm, they were enough to crush Long Fei. If they were also determined and unintentional, it would be normal to kill him. On the contrary, even if Xia Fan could fight with Long Fei, he might not be able to kill him. In this way, he was the least likely to be the murderer.

"Master Bao, Yu Rat, Old Huang!" When talking about these three people, Liu Xingchen couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Long Fei has not killed Xia Fan for a long time, and Liu Xingchen felt that a large part of the reason was related to these three people. When Xia Fan left not long ago, if these three guys had not gone to see Xia Fan one after another as if they had agreed, Long Fei wanted to take action twice but was scared twice, he was afraid that the situation would become very different from now.

Liu Xingchen felt unhappy at that time. Looking back now, he felt that these three people had ulterior motives to send Xia Fan. Even after sending Xia Fan, they seemed to go back to their own houses, and then they couldn't go into seclusion, but maybe they were using a trick to hide the world. They were in seclusion on the surface, but they had already secretly met with Xia Fan and set up a plan to kill Long Fei.

There are almost few emperors who have no suspicion. For example, Liu Xingchen has been an emperor for so many years, and his suspicion is even more serious. Therefore, when he thinks about anything, he will become more accustomed to conspiracy and tricks. So the more he thinks about it, the more he feels suspicious, and he hates Master Yu Shu and Mr. Huang even more for the desire to help Xia Fan get along with him.

If Master Bao, Yushi and Mr. Huang knew Liu Xingchen’s thoughts, they would have been screaming for wrongdoing. They were determined to help Xia Fan, and indeed cooperated with Xia Fan to do something, which was true. Just like before seeing Xia Fan off to scare Long Fei, it was agreed in advance, but Long Fei’s death really had nothing to do with them.

"The emperor calms down. He is using troops everywhere at the moment, and the court situation is a bit unstable. If he attacks these three people again, it will cause greater trouble. At that time, the court situation will be in turmoil, which may be detrimental to the emperor's governance of the world." When Liu Jixiang saw Liu Xingchen's murderous aura, it was not difficult to guess what he thought, and quickly spoke to dissuade him.

"Huh... you're right, for nothing. Let me let you go once, I'll let them go." Liu Xingchen's face changed a few times in a volatile mood, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a way for himself. As the emperor, he was not without the strength to deal with the three of the Blade Masters, but he had to consider the consequences of doing so.

"Your Majesty, what should Xia Fan do here?" Liu Jixiang asked in a low voice.

"Send Long Teng and tell him not to attack the people around Xia Fan for the first time. After he returns, he will kill him with all his strength as his top priority. As long as Xia Fan dies, those who vass him will be nothing but native chickens and dogs, which is not worth mentioning at all." Liu Xingchen said this and snorted angrily: "If the man Ying Potian hadn't started a war with me at this critical moment, why would I have to be so troubled? Just sending a large army to easily kill Xia Fan and the lawless traitors who followed him."

…………

After killing Long Fei, Xia Fan did not delay outside anymore, but flew straight towards Baishi City.

He had been dealing with Long Fei before, one was that he wanted to gain time to kill the Sky-Swallowing Worm in the Breaking Realm Bell, and the other was that he knew very well that as long as he was not separated from Long Fei, the hidden dragon guards who had sneaked into his territory would be unlikely to take action. But now it was different. Once Long Fei died, the prince would be more precise. Now the emperor of the Han Dynasty would definitely know that he would definitely order people to revenge. Then it would be inappropriate for Xia Fan to stay outside now, and it should be more important to rush back to take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible.

The place where Xia Fan and Long Fei fought was still located in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and it was not far from the sphere of influence controlled by Xia Fan. Just as he flew back at full speed, he accidentally glanced down, but couldn't help but exclaim, paused slightly and flew down below.

It turned out that at this time Xia Fan happened to see a town not far from the river below that was burning, killing and looting. The people who were doing these things were his soldiers. At the same time, Xia Fan also saw a lot of ships parked in the river next to him. He immediately realized that the group of people coming were probably Ge Changhe who was taking the destruction of the Holy Dragon Kingdom with his orders.

"Where is Ge Changhe? Let him come to see me quickly?" Xia Fan's body flashed and had already appeared on the bow of the ship, ordering a navy soldier who was stunned by his sudden appearance.

"As for the order." On that day, Xia Fan showed his might and defeated Lan Haolin, which was awe of the navy troops in his own and local areas. Now there are many naval troops under Ge Changhe, which are the navy troops of Lan Yu Kingdom at the time, so they naturally have awe of Xia Fan. The navy recognized Xia Fan at a glance, and of course they would not treat him as an enemy. He quickly agreed loudly and then ran away in a hurry.

Although Ge Changhe was a general who commanded the army and he was basically in charge of this navy, he did not stay honestly on the navy's flagship, but was attacking a nearby military camp with a group of elite soldiers he had carefully selected from the navy.

The orders Ge Changhe received before were just to destroy, and did not emphasize that he would kill the enemy or attack the cities and plunder the land. However, Ge Changhe was really unrestrained. More importantly, he needed to absorb various blood evil spirits through constant fighting to make himself stronger and stronger. So he began to adapt to the situation. At first, he just attacked the enemy who was rescued on the shore. Later, he became more and more courageous and his attack range became larger and larger. At the same time, he continued to go deeper into the hinterland, and the target of the attack gradually changed from ordinary people to army.

During this period, Ge Changhe of course encountered several powerful enemies, even powerful people in the Divine Realm. It really made him experience a hard battle and even injured him. However, after killing the enemy, he also benefited a lot and his strength was greatly improved.

Today, Ge Changhe aimed at another military camp. He was thinking of killing him, and snatching the supplies from it to change the equipment for the navy troops in his hand. Unexpectedly, a commander under his command suddenly ran over and shouted from a distance: "General, it's not good. The Lord is coming up and looking for you."

"Damn, it's going to be bad now!" Ge Changhe immediately cried out that Xia Fan was coming.

Ge Changhe was worried that Xia Fan would blame him for his own actions, but as a general who led the army, he left his post without permission, which made him feel a little uneasy before seeing Xia Fan. However, when Xia Fan saw him, he did not blame him for this, which made Ge Changhe secretly relieved, but after feeling the powerful aura emitted from Xia Fan, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Master, are you... already a half-step master??" When Ge Changhe asked this subconsciously, the shock and disbelief on his face could not be concealed.

Although he had not followed Xia Fan for a long time, the two of them had experienced fighting side by side in the cave of the Great Wilderness Ancestor. In addition, Xia Fan helped him avenge him, which made the relationship between the two was quite good. He clearly remembered that when Xia Fan went to the cave of the Great Wilderness Ancestor with him, he was still in the divine realm. Even if his strength was stronger than him, he was not much, but now he has reached the level of a half-step master. The gap between the two was greatly increased, and it didn't take long before and after.

Vaguely, Ge Changhe remembered that before the war with the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Xia Fan seemed to be only at the third level of the Divine Realm, and then he was ordered to go to the Holy Dragon Kingdom to destroy it. He never saw Xia Fan much after that. Unexpectedly, when he saw him again, his strength was already very different.

"That's right, I got some opportunities not long ago, so my strength improved a little faster." Xia Fan nodded, then reached out and patted Ge Changhe on the shoulder and said, "You have to work harder, our enemies will become stronger and stronger. If you make progress too slowly, you will be quickly left behind."

"Yes." What else could Ge Changhe say at this time? Of course, he nodded repeatedly and said yes, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart: It's not that we have made too slow progress, but that your strength has grown too fast. Many practitioners may not be able to enter the half-step master for the rest of their lives, but how long has it been? It's only two or three months in total, and it's even shorter. Who can catch up with such a speed?
