Chapter 327 - 327 The Missing Dwarven King

327 The Missing Dwarven King

The undercurrent in First City was gradually becoming a place of trouble.

Su Bai wanted to be alone. However, his involvement with Paris could not be easily broken no matter how.

“I-It was my own idea…” The middle-aged dwarf gritted his teeth. He shouted, “It has nothing to do with Young Master Paris!”

“How is he now?”

“It has nothing to do with you!”

“I’ll give you one last chance.”

Su Bai’s face was as dark as water and he had no time to continue this nonsense.

However, the middle-aged dwarf was determined not to reveal anything.

Since that was the case, Su Bai did not need to worry anymore.

When facing someone who wanted to kill him, he would not show any mercy.

Su Bai summoned Dream Wing. The middle-aged dwarf lost consciousness instantly and let out a painful cry before he could react.

A moment later, it was about time for Su Bai to begin the interrogation.

“Tell me, why did you choose to kill me here?”

“The king is missing…First City has changed…”

“The king is missing?”

Su Bai frowned. He heard something incredible.

“What does the disappearance of the king have to do with you wanting to kill me?”

“The new ruler is from the Yadi family…Young Master Paris… He’s their son-in-law, so…”

Before he could finish, the middle-aged dwarf stopped breathing.

“Tsk!”

Su Bai was very unhappy now, ‘This guy’s spiritual power was too weak. He could only withstand Dream Wing’s torture for less than half a minute.’

Zhang Yan did not predict that the situation in First City would change completely!

The city in the sky was still being built with great fanfare, but the king who had pushed it out had already been missing.

As for how the king was missing, it was obviously related to the nobles of First City.

The matter was too complicated for Su Bai to grasp. If he wanted to escape, he had to give up the Alchemy Festival and return to the surface.

Since Su Bai had already killed one, he did not mind interrogating the remaining five dwarf Beastmasters with his spiritual power forcefully.

However, Su Bai did not get any other useful information other than knowing that the five dwarf Beastmasters belonged to the Yadi family after a while.

Not long after, the dwarven guards in charge of patrolling received the call and rushed to the scene.

But Su Bai had already thrown the dead bodies into the Spiral Realm’s Second Heaven and fed them to the Beasts inside, leaving no trace.

He had also returned to the bustling streets early and carefully observed the situation around him.

The area around the square of First City was divided into four areas, east, west, south, and north. Each area had no less than a thousand Beastmasters patrolling.

There were even more Beastmasters gathered in the square, more than three thousand in total!

After some investigation, Su Bai also learned that the king of the dwarves had an amazing reputation in First City.

Almost two out of every three dwarves held the king in high esteem.

In other words, if the Yadi family, the middle-aged dwarf mentioned, wanted to completely control First City, they had to stage a grand change.

After all, the dwarven king could not possibly be without his own soldiers.

To completely replace the dwarven king, his family had to be purged!

“This is troublesome.”

The more Su Bai thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Then he went back to the Heavenly Stairway and asked if he could leave. The answer he got was exactly what he expected.

On the day of the Alchemy Festival, one could only enter First City!

He asked for the reason and the guard only mentioned the load on the Heavenly Stairway was too great.

Theoretically, Su Bai could leave by force.

However, the consequences were beyond his control, so he had to be cautious.

Su Bai returned to the lounge of the participants in the square.

Gao Zhilong had an excited expression on his face. He was full of anticipation for the upcoming finals.

The rest had also passed the elimination round.

After all, they were genius Alchemists of the younger generation selected from the Royal City.

If they did not have any skills, they could not come all the way here.

Su Bai glanced around and asked, “Where’s Shen Yan? Is he eliminated?”

Gao Zhilong said cheerfully, “The opposite. He has a bad personality but he’s also very talented in alchemy. I remember that he was going to meet an old acquaintance.”

“An old acquaintance?” Su Bai frowned.

As far as Su Bai understood, this was the first time Gao Zhilong and the other young Alchemists had come to First City. Shen Yan could not have old acquaintances here.

“Su Bai, let’s talk in private,” said Murong Xue as she stood up at that moment.

Su Bai did not think much about the sudden invitation and followed her to a corner with no one around.

“The king of the dwarves has gone missing.” Murong Xue said and went straight to the point.

Murong Xue explained that she had heard the news from a group of dwarven guards by chance. Just that piece of news could make anyone understand that it was definitely not a small matter.

The weather in the underground city was not as cruel as the weather on the surface, and no Beasts could invade this place.

To put it simply, the disappearance of the dwarven king was very likely intentional. It was unsure what kind of forces would abduct the dwarven king on such an important festival as the Alchemy Festival.

However, the most important thing was that Su Bai found out Murong Xue was lying through his spiritual power!

“And then?” Su Bai raised his eyebrows. “Zhang Yan told me that the dwarves have internal conflicts, but they won’t affect us.”

“You believe such a joke?”

A rare smile appeared on Murong Xue’s face.

“What do you know?”

“I roughly know.”

Su Bai narrowed his eyes and pretended to think seriously. In fact, he continued to use his spiritual power to investigate.

Murong Xue’s emotions were very calm, without any ripples. She did not reveal any flaws at all.

However, Murong Xue must have something to ask of Su Bai. She did not make it clear.

In dealing with such a person, the simplest and crudest method was to play hard to get.

“If you continue to be a riddler, there will be nothing to talk about here.”

Su Bai turned around and strode away.

Murong Xue was completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Then Murong Xue quickly caught up, pulled Su Bai’s arm, and said seriously, “This matter concerns our lives. Are you sure you want to leave?”

“What’s the reason?” Su Bai asked.

Murong Xue was silent for a long time before she slowly said, “The dwarven king has been missing for three months.”

Su Bai asked, “How did you know?”

“We’ll talk about that later.” Murong Xue whispered. “At least one thing is for sure, we can’t leave this whirlpool.”

“Interesting.” Su Bai chuckled. “You have to tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, I won’t be part of this.”

Murong Xue’s face darkened.

Dealing with Spiritualist Beastmasters was troublesome.

Unless one had a strong mental power to cover it up, the other party would be able to see through any intention to hide it.

“I promise.” Murong Xue nodded and did not refuse.
