Everything was part of a plan long schemed by Xu Fan.
In fact, Xu Fan wasn't lying; there indeed was a Xu Fan thief among the group, and indeed there were accomplices of the Xu Fan thief, even carrying the will of the Xu Fan thief. That was Fang Zheng, the Immortal Emperor, who was already rushing swiftly towards the Imperial City.
However, what none of the Emperor-level experts could have imagined was that the Crown Prince, with whom they claimed to have irreconcilable hatred against the Xu Fan thief, was actually the real Xu Fan thief!

Thus, one conspiracy after another naturally unfolded.
