Mingxi didn't die.
Nonsense, of course she couldn't die, at least not at such a young age.
This article is not finished.
Hearing Yuan Hu's question, Yu Xuantong, who had just received new information, replied, "She has safely returned to the country, but there's no sign of her waking up."
In fact, when Yuan Hu touched Mingxi's shattered body that day, he discovered she still had a glimmer of life, but that wisp of vitality was so faint, as if barely connected by something.
It was very weak, so weak that it would make people think she was already dead.
He didn't make a fuss at the time.
The situation was already so severe that an assassin successfully carried out an assassination right under the nose of an SSS-level Beast Master.
The assassin's strength was already self-evident.

According to Nolan Lin, that person was Butterfly Demon.
A name that strikes fear into people's hearts.
If the news of Mingxi still being alive were to spread, the assassin, suspected to be Butterfly Demon, would very likely find another opportunity to strike at Mingxi.
So she had to 'die'.
Before she truly grew up, she had to completely disappear from everyone's sight.
"As long as there's life, there's hope. She'll be fine," Yuan Hu patted Yu Xuantong's shoulder.
When the attack on Mingxi occurred this time, Yu ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Xuantong, as the Team Leader, endured immense pressure and doubts. For the past two days, she had been working tirelessly, both internally, to soothe the players' emotions and ensure their safety, and externally, to coordinate the probing of various countries' forces and so on.
It wasn't easy.
Meanwhile, he and Wang Dong had been constantly on the move, following up on the investigation of the attack.
Although Mingxi was just a teenager, her existence was almost epoch-making—a genius who had awakened six times in a year, a monster who could cultivate almost all pets into new forms.
She should have been a treasure to the entire Alliance.
But at the most brilliant age, she was attacked and killed in the Blue Sun Cup competition venue, the most important Beast Tamers event for Blue Star teenagers. The seriousness of this incident was almost comparable to a king of a certain country having his skull blown off by a gun during a military parade in his own country.
Moreover, even if it wasn't Mingxi who was assassinated,
A young life being killed under such circumstances would inevitably require a strict and detailed investigation!
So, less than an hour after the incident, the Alliance Beast Center investigation team sent investigators, a total of twelve people, directly startling the King of Tanzania out of his palace.
Not a single Alliance investigator's identity was weak.
Usually, at most five people being dispatched for an incident was already a big deal.
This time, there were as many as 12 people; almost all Alliance investigators currently on Blue Star rushed over.
The 'dead' Mingxi rolled her eyes: "Would you want this kind of prestige?"
Yu Xuantong: "Is there any new progress in the investigation?"
Yuan Hu's expression was solemn as he nodded and said, "It's almost certain that Butterfly Demon was the one who made the move. You should have heard a little about his abilities. Controlling people's minds, concealing his aura, and sealing mental fluctuations are his specialties.
He doesn't even need to bribe anyone; he can quietly make all the preparations beforehand, making it impossible for anyone to notice."
Butterfly Demon, real name unknown, was an SSS-level Beast Master recorded to have died over three hundred years ago.
He was also a top hypnotist, a master criminal, and a super-dangerous felon.
All the pets he contracted were insect-type Transcendent creatures, and all of them were cultivated by him into a butterfly form, even those insect types that fundamentally had no butterfly form!
This wasn't even the most abnormal thing; the most abnormal thing was that all these pets were also cultivated by him into Demon-type!
No one knew how he did it.
Some speculated he had a special physique that could alter the gene chains of insect-type Transcendent creatures.
Some speculated he had a powerful team or a mysterious organization behind him that helped him become the Butterfly Demon.
...In short, there were all sorts of outlandish speculations, but none of them had ever been confirmed.
In the limited recorded data, he had at least two Venerable-level pets, and his strength was unfathomable.
"If it really is Butterfly Demon, then you probably won't find anything no matter how much you investigate," Yu Xuantong said with a solemn expression. She had also read a lot of information about Butterfly Demon these past two days.
This person was extremely vicious, committing crimes with virtually no principles or bottom line, acting as he pleased, going with the flow.
The only principle was that he never cooperated with anyone during the commission of a crime.
To him, everyone else was a pawn he could freely manipulate, and pawns themselves didn't need souls or thoughts, let alone needing to know his objectives.
In short, he might have a boss behind him, but definitely no accomplices.
Yuan Hu sighed: "So the investigation team is already preparing to close the case."
It wasn't that the investigation team hadn't tried their best; on the contrary, they had tried too hard.
In the three days since the incident, they had investigated everything they could, even screening the audience present that day twice, digging up everyone's ancestral history.
What a terrifying workload.
But unfortunately, effective clues were extremely scarce.
Yuan Hu added, "I've already agreed."
Having participated in the entire investigation, he knew there was no point in continuing the investigation.
The Descent Organization paid the money, and Butterfly Demon made the move.
It was that simple.
As for whether Butterfly Demon and Descent had other connections.
Someone who cared about this matter would naturally discover the truth.
Yu Xuantong was not surprised and nodded slightly: "Then we'll return home tomorrow."
Tanzania was definitely not a place to stay for long; what was troublesome was not only the insatiable Suweia Royal Family but also various other forces.
And their goal was very simple: it was for the 'legacy' Mingxi left behind.
Not just the star god scepter, but more importantly, Golden Yuanbao and the others.
Theoretically, when a Beast Tamers dies, bonded items are unbound immediately, returning to an unowned state, while Pet Space rarely disappears immediately.
Instead, it truly dissipates within five to ten days after the Beast Tamers' death.
Only then would the pets contracted by the Beast Tamers be released from their contracted state, becoming unowned Transcendent creatures.
This was also the main reason why Butterfly Demon didn't suspect anything even though Mingxi clearly hadn't died.
Mingxi 'died'.
But her pets were all perfectly fine.
