Chapter 12 Scapegoat
"This won't work, that won't work, I don't care, you have to handle this matter properly for me."
Davis was agitated and his tone lacked the patience he had at the beginning.
"Sigh, let me think about it." Zhu Zhuyun had a headache.
She really had no other choice but to send people to guard the vicinity of the killing city.
But once Huanming emerges from the City of Slaughter, to what extent will his strength have grown?
He's only six years old now, but his strength is already no less than hers.
Once he's made it out of the City of Slaughter for a few years, even ordinary Soul Kings probably won't be able to do anything to him.
What a wretched little brat!
"By the way, your sister seems to be making some moves lately," Davis said.
"Zhu Qing?"
"Hmm, it seems like she's trying to run away. I guess she'll probably go find my stupid brother."
Zhu Zhuyun turned her head and asked, "So what are your thoughts?"
"I don't know. My mind is a mess right now. On one hand, there's my stupid younger brother, and on the other hand, there's that brat who calls himself Kuiba. My head is spinning." Davis rubbed his temples and sighed.
"My father has heard the news recently, and he told me to suppress this matter immediately."
Kuiba's influence was growing, which is why Davis was so eager to get rid of him.
Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes. "Your Highness, I have a way to suppress this matter and let you give His Majesty an explanation."
"What method?"
"His Majesty wants an explanation, and the common people want an account. Without a doubt, Kuiba has become the key. As long as Kuiba is dead, everything will be resolved."
Davis nodded. "Yes, the problem is, now that Kuiba has hidden in the Killing City, our people can't get in."
Zhu Zhuyun smiled knowingly: "Yes, the Killing Capital is a forbidden area. Outsiders can't get in, and insiders have a hard time getting out. Naturally, information gets blocked."
"Oh, you mean?"
"Right now, only we know that Kuiba has hidden in the City of Slaughter. The outside world has no idea. Whether Kuiba lives or dies is entirely up to us."
Davis's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "You mean, just find a scapegoat, behead them as a warning to others?"
Upon closer examination, this scheme of substituting one beam for another is actually quite feasible.
Anyway, Kuiba is now in the City of Slaughter, and all news about him will disappear.
He could just kill any child and claim that the child was a Kuiba, and who would know the truth?
At that time, the emperor would be pleased, and the common people would be suppressed again, which would be killing two birds with one stone.
"Your Highness, that's exactly what I meant."
As expected of a woman with a vicious heart, Zhu Zhuyun's plan was extremely malicious.
In the eyes of the nobles, the lives of commoners are not worth anything.
Davis laughed, looking up. "Haha, Zhu Yun, you really are my perfect wife! That's settled then!"
"It is my honor to be able to relieve Your Highness's worries."
Zhu Zhuyun bowed slightly, but at that moment, Huanming's face suddenly flashed through her mind.
That brat…she won’t let him get away with this!

Martial Soul City, Elder Hall.
Yue Guan was watering the flowers as usual when Bishop Hera came here once again.
"Elder Ju, something terrible has happened!"
"What is it now? Haven't you found that brat yet?" Yue Guan glanced at him coldly.
Bishop Hera said with a bitter face, "That brat seems to have entered the City of Slaughter, and our people can't get in."
"The City of Slaughter? How old is he? How could he possibly enter the City of Slaughter?"
Yue Guan was taken aback. That godforsaken place was something even a titled Douluo like himself wouldn't dare to venture into, let alone a little kid.
But on second thought, it seems that for the Kuiba, the Killing City is indeed safer.
There, neither the Spirit Hall nor the Star Luo Empire could do anything to him.
"But the fact is, he's already inside. Elder Ju, what should we do now?"
"Useless! You couldn't even stop a child, and you let him into the City of Slaughter!"
Yue Guan scolded him with exasperation, then turned and left the courtyard.
"Elder Ju, you..."
"I will report this matter to His Holiness the Pope. As for what to do, let His Holiness decide."
The current situation was completely unexpected by Yue Guan; he never anticipated that the brat would be able to escape into the City of Slaughter.
If he had known that brat was going to the City of Slaughter, he would have personally gone to deal with him long ago.
Now look what's happened; all our efforts have been in vain.

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.
The place is heavily guarded, with layers of guards patrolling and protecting it. Unless you have a token, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to enter.
After Yue Guan took out his elder token, he successfully entered the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace was very cold, and its spaciousness and darkness gave it an eerie feel.
Even though she had been here countless times, Yue Guan didn't really like the environment.
In the center of the Papal Palace, there is a long staircase leading to a throne.
That is the Pope's throne, representing supreme authority.
"Your subordinate, Yue Guan, greets Your Holiness the Pope."
Yue Guan stopped in front of the long steps and called out respectfully.
"Elder Ju, judging from your appearance, it seems you've encountered some trouble?"
A woman's voice came from the throne; her voice was cold and devoid of emotion.
Then, a woman dressed in a purple-gold papal robe stepped up from the throne and looked down at Yue Guan.
Pope Bibidon was exceptionally beautiful; her face was flawless.
Her temperament is also exceptional, like a flower on a high mountain, unattainable.
It's just that her eyes are so cold, so cold that no one dares to meet her gaze.
"Your Holiness, this is what happened..."
Immediately afterwards, Yue Guan recounted the story of Huan Ming.
After listening, Bibi Dong murmured, "Innate level 20 soul power, two white soul rings, yet he defeated many soul masters... calling himself Kuiba? And he even entered the City of Slaughter?"
Bibi Dong can be considered an unprecedented genius in the Douluo Continent. Not only is she born with full soul power, but she also has twin martial souls.
It is said that Tang Hao is the youngest Title Douluo, but that is not true.
In terms of age, she is the youngest Title Douluo; she just hasn't publicized it.
Even someone as talented as her found this matter incredibly unbelievable.
At the very least, at Huanming's age, she would never have been able to do something like him.
Is this even human?
"Yes, Your Holiness, what should we do now? Should we send people into the City of Slaughter?"
When it comes to the City of Slaughter, few people in the Douluo Continent know more about it than this female pope.
It's very difficult to get out of the City of Slaughter, and she was one of the few who did manage to escape.
"No, the Killing City is different from other places. Sending people there would only be sending them to their deaths." Bibi Dong shook her head slightly.
"But……"
"You should have reported this matter sooner. Now I have no way to ask the King of Slaughter for the person."
Yue Guan lowered his head and said, "This matter was done on my own initiative. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
"Forget it, what's the use of saying all this now? The only thing we can do now is to wait and see."
"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?"
"More prodigies like him will surely emerge in the future." Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips.
"Kuiba? Heh, that's interesting."
