Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Junior Sister, now we know why Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun would come here."

Qin Wentian's low voice rang throughout the hall. n

"Hm? Was it that token?" Ji Yi asked.

Qin Wentian nodded his head, "Yes and a few other reasons."

"Bring out the yellow array. We need to set it up."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Ji Yi nodded, complied with the instructions, and took out a yellow paper parchment from her spatial ring.

Putting it on the ground, she moved and started to close the windows and door of the courtyard.

After a few minutes, she returned and began to scribble symbols on the paper. After that, she took out a few Qi Stones and put them on certain marks on the paper.

Meanwhile, Qin Wentian was roaming around the courtyard and its rooms, inspecting every corner of the place.

Soon, Ji Yi had finished setting up everything and stood up, taking a few steps back, with her hands behind her back.

It didn't take long for Qin Wentian to return after looking around the courtyard.

He nodded his head when he saw the things arranged on the floor and said, "I didn't find any arrays in this courtyard - looks like this Sect had no intention of spying on us. So this will save us from a lot of hassle."

Sitting on the ground, he continued, "Anyway, we need to get this done first. You have done a good job, Ji Yi."

His compliment brought a smile to Ji Yi's face, "Thank you, Senior Brother Qin."

Qin Wnetian nodded and continued to inspect the array on the parchment. Then he took out a different parchment from his spatial ring and laid it on the current setup at the ground.

Standing up, he also took a few steps back and continued to stare at the two parchments with Ji Yi.

After about two to three minutes, the parchments began to glow up. 

Qin Wentian nodded his head, "Well, that wasn't much difficult, now no one from outside can sense or know whatever happens in this courtyard for a month."

He then looked at Ji Yi and said, "Let's call Master and discuss things first. I think we don't need to stay here for long, now that we know the connection between Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun and this sect."

Ji Yi nodded her head and began to prepare the communication array.

She took out five black orbs, and a table from her spatial ring then placed the orbs on the table in some kind of formation.

After that, she took out some high-tier Qi Stones and began to arrange a mini array.

It didn't take long for the table to light up as the array had been successfully set up, and after a few minutes, a bust of an elder began to materialize like a projection above the black orbs.

"Greetings, Master!" Qi Wentian immediately cupped his fists and respectfully greeted the old man.

The old man nodded his head," Hmm, good good, where are you right now?"

"Master, I am in the Gracious Sword Sect. This was the sect where I sensed the presence of Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun."

The old man nodded his head, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

Qin Wentian nodded and replied, "Master, I think now I know a lot of things - and most probably, I have also figured out the reason behind the presence of the Crown Prince in that dungeon."

His master frowned, "Oh? Tell me everything."

"Master, the first thing is, the Sect Leader of this Sect is a part of the Divine Ye Corps."

"Divine Ye Corps!?" The old man's expressionless face turned into one of shock and disbelief.

He then frowned and asked, "Why would someone from the Divine Ye Corps be here?"

"Master, I didn't ask much about this topic. However, when I tried to warn the Sect Leader not to mess with the Heaven Oracle Sect, he took out the token from his ring and put it in front of us."

The elder nodded his head, "I see. What's the name of this Sect Leader?"

"Master, he is called Su Ming." Qin Wentian replied without delay.

"Su Ming..? This sounds quite familiar... I will look into this. But the problem is, him having the token doesn't actually mean anything."

Qin Wentian shook his head, "But Master, there's one more thing that's out of the context here."

"What?"

"The Arrays here, almost all of them are pretty complex and would require a lot of high-tier Qi Stones. However, the arrays here run without any glitch -  this means that this sect needs a lot of resources."

"The resources needed to maintain these arrays are just too much for a small sect like this to manage, and I have a suspicion that there's a much deeper connection between the great Ye Clan and this Sect."

"Since the Great Ye Clan provides so many resources, there's a high chance that Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun must have visited this place. Also, there must be a reason why he would have come here. And this reason was why Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was present in the dungeons at that time. And also he is the person who killed the berserk beast and a disciple named Kang Bai."

"Master, I think we should investigate more about this situation - after all, there are not many things that can bring Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun here to the Lower Heavens."

The elder in the projection was remained silent for a long time and finally said something which complicated the situation more than ever, "Tian'er, your theory does sound very valid and almost believable. However, it is not the truth."

"Hm? How, Master?"

"I told you I would be investigating in the Middle heavens about the whereabouts of Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun  - and I did. I visited his mansion, and I met him personally."

"Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun is in the Middle Heavens."
