Two heavily armed soldiers were guarding the door of Uturaf's room. Jiang Chen had no way to sneak in for a while and could only wait for the opportunity outside.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, it seemed that it was time to change defenses, and the two guards left Uturaf's room.

Jiang Chen then sneaked into Uturaf's room.

Since Uturaf lived in the side hall, which was second only to the main hall, it was also relatively large. There were many exquisite ornaments placed in the side hall, which was a bit out of place with Jiang Chen's impression of Uturaf.

Something like the imperial edict was so important that it would not be placed in the open, so Jiang Chen began to explore whether there was any hidden secret.

After exploring all possible places in Uturaf's room, Jiang Chen finally decided to give up on Uturaf's room.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the bed that occupied the largest area in the room.

The bed hadn't been searched yet, and Jiang Chen had a hunch that the thing he was looking for might be in that bed.

Jiang Chen touched the bed without hesitation. After groping for a while, Jiang Chen felt a very slight bulge by the window.

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, knowing that he had found a hidden space.

After using his spiritual power to explore slightly, he found that there were no traps or traps in the secret compartment. Edao pressed the bulge without hesitation.

There was a creaking sound, and a board on the side of the bed slowly retracted, revealing a hidden compartment.

Inside the secret compartment was a small, square box with the wild goose totem that the barbarians were proud of engraved on it.

It must be this thing! Jiang Chen was overjoyed and quickly grabbed the box in his hand.

Perhaps because the edict had already played its intended role, the box outside had no protective mechanism. Jiang Chen opened the box easily.

A roll of parchment was rolled into a tube and placed quietly in the box. It looked ordinary and nothing special.

But Jiang Chen was very sure that this was the succession edict he was looking for.

Jiang Chen opened it and looked at it. The parchment was written in the ancient language of the barbarians, which he couldn't understand.

Since he couldn't understand it, he couldn't check the doubtful points of the edict. Jiang Chen had no choice but to throw the parchment into the storage bag at the risk of being discovered.

As for the box, it was naturally returned to its original place.

The edict has been found, and half of his mission has been completed. The next step is to go to the place where the former leader's broken body is placed.

According to the news from Utubcha, the former leader died due to poisoning, which is completely contrary to what Utuburaf said about his death from illness.

As long as it can be proven that the former leader died of poisoning, time can be delayed. If evidence of Uturaf's poisoning can be found, Uturaf can be completely brought down.

Finding evidence is what Wu Tubucha is responsible for. What Jiang Chen and Jiuyan are now responsible for is checking the cause of the former leader's death before he is buried.

This task can be said to be simple or difficult. Since the remains of the former leader will be buried today, many people will come to express their condolences and send their leader on his final journey.

Therefore, Jiang Chen had many opportunities to get close to the body of the former leader, but precisely because there were so many people coming to see him off, his invisibility cover would be detected if someone touched it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen decided to meet with Jiuyan first, and then let Jiuyan complete this task.

An inconspicuous little spider is sometimes more useful than his invisibility mask.

Jiang Chen had made an appointment with Jiuyan before entering Dayan Palace. Regardless of whether he found the edict or not, he had to meet outside the main hall at noon.

It was approaching noon, so Jiang Chen went directly to a tree with relatively few people outside the main hall, and quietly waited for Jiuyan under the tree.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Wu Tubucha slowly walked over with Yeluqi and two other men whom Jiang Chen had never seen before [seemingly intending to enter the main hall.

Jiang Chen was just surprised for a moment and then realized that if he didn't come to his father's funeral, how could he compete with Uturaf at the succession ceremony three days later.

Utubcha has four older brothers and one younger brother. The most promising and powerful ones are only him and Uturaf, and the others pose no threat to him.

Uturaf was originally kneeling in front of his father's coffin, but when Buta came, he stood up suddenly, revealing a vicious light.

Seeing the unexpected look in Utulav's eyes, Utubucha smiled unnoticed and took the initiative to say: "I volunteered to guard the border. I didn't expect that this farewell would be a life-or-death farewell!"

After saying that, Utubcha knelt down directly, looking extremely sad.

Utulav was about to launch an attack, but Utubuca knelt down, interrupting his rhythm.

After knocking his head three times, Utubcha stood up and looked at the so-called brother in front of him.

"My father is seriously ill, why didn't you send someone to inform me?" Utubcha took the lead and blocked the words Uturaf wanted to question directly in his throat.

Uturaf was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The people around to express condolences were in a tense situation when they saw the two brothers. Several city lords from surrounding small towns looked at the two brothers and started whispering.

Their voices were neither loud nor quiet, and Uturaf could hear them very clearly.

Listening to those who questioned him, Uturaf's expression changed.

He looked at the younger brother in front of him and his face darkened.

"Brother, please don't accuse me unjustly. I sent several groups of people to look for you, but there was no response. I thought you had..." Uturaf looked like he had been wronged.

Utubcha smiled and seemed not to continue the topic with him.

Uturaf didn't want to see Utubcha, and thinking that he couldn't embarrass Utubcha for the time being, he walked to the side, not even planning to talk to Utubcha anymore.

Jiang Chen's attention was originally focused on Wutubcha, but suddenly, a spider hung from the tree, startling him.

"You actually knew I was here?" Jiang Chen took the shrunken Nine Eyes into the invisibility cover and asked in surprise.

Jiuyan calmly changed back to his original form and stretched again. "Have you forgotten my innate skills?"

Jiang Chen thought that Jiuyan was someone who could find cracks in a protective shield as thorough as Demon Race. His invisibility shield seemed invisible, but in Jiuyan's eyes, it was probably still full of flaws.

This is really a very good skill, Jiang Chen covets it very much. With this skill, some protective shields and invisibility shields that are not High Level will be like nothing in front of him. .
