Chapter 78: Fishing in chaos

"My son made a mistake. Release him. I will investigate my daughter's disappearance properly without any bias!" The Palace Master told Xu Shan who still had his dagger perfectly aligned. 

Xu Shan didn't show much reaction. However, on the inside, he was happy. Everything was in place, and now only the last part of the play was left to execute... Achieving the goals without getting his own hands dirty. 

"Since you're talking in a nicer tone, I'll listen to this once. However, if you act as if I'm a prisoner once again, then there won't be a reason for the Celestial Palace to exist anymore. In any case, my father should be here soon."

Xu Shan took off his dagger, as he appeared as if he was about to free Yu Ming. 

However, right at that time, a couple of outer Elders brushed out, suddenly pulling their swords. One of the elders targeted Xu Shan.
