766 Deputy Governor, Please Correct! (3)

The moment Xu Qing said this, the Deputy Governor’s pupils narrowed imperceptibly. His expression darkened slightly, but he spoke in a calm voice.

“You are too stubborn. Li Yunshan, take him away and give him a proper lesson in place of Brother Liangxiu.”

The reality was already so clear. In the eyes of many people, Xu Qing’s actions were overstepping his bounds.

While the Deputy Palace Master of the Sword Holding Palace was hesitating, Xu Qing continued to speak expressionlessly.

“Twenty-three days ago, after I returned from the Immortal Forbidden, I smelled a similar smell from the plain pills.”

The instant the words ‘plain pill’ came out of Xu Qing’s mouth, before anyone could react, a dangerous aura instantly rose from the Deputy Governor’s body. He lifted his right hand and flicked his sleeve.

“Ridiculous!”

As his voice rang out, a wave of Nihility energy erupted from the Deputy Governor’s sleeve and instantly enveloped Xu Qing.

The Deputy Palace Master’s expression changed. He used all his strength to block but he was still forced back, unable to match the Deputy Governor who was enhanced by fortune. However, at this moment, the clouds exploded and the sound of metal clashing rang out from the sky.

“Gah!”

A three-headed giant bird appeared.

Its speed was so fast that it directly appeared under Xu Qing. Its right head landed under Xu Qing’s feet. After lifting him up, its three heads locked onto the Deputy Governor in unison. Its entire body was covered in spikes, emitting a monstrous ferocious intent. It let out an ear-piercing cracking sound!

The sound waves exploded, forming a rumbling sound that shook the surroundings, causing the whole city to shake and the sky to change color!

The mortals in the entire city gasped. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators on the ground were shaken. The Seventh Prince’s expression froze and the Deputy Governor’s expression was unsightly, no longer calm.

Only Qingqin was the center of attention.

Only its cracking sound resounded through the clouds.

The only thing that could surpass its attention was the figure standing on its raised right head—the slender figure dressed in a white sword cultivator robe, whose clothes fluttered in the wind!

The four canopies shone with a resplendent light and the mosasaur roared, breathing out a morning glow. The figure of the Ghost Emperor Mountain stood behind him and there was a faint river of time that seemed to be lingering around him.

At this moment, it was as though Edict Bearer Xu, who had represented the Palace Master half a year ago, had returned!

The various races who were observing everything in the surroundings were all shocked. Their mental shadow from back then emerged again!

Xu Qing continued.

“A plain pill. It’s the same plain pill that hundreds of millions of mortals in the city have eaten over the years.”

“At that time, I understood the method of poisoning.”

“The murderer didn’t directly poison the old county governor. Over the years, he diluted countless portions of the Radiant Life Calamity and fused them into plain pills which were consumed by all the humans in the city.

The instant he said these, it was like a huge lightning exploded beside the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators and in the ears of countless mortals in the city.

The weight of these words was too heavy!

Even more gasps, exclamations, chaotic sounds, and restless sounds erupted.

“Using countless people as poison to change the fortune of all living beings in the entire city, causing everyone to become a poison catalyst. The poisoned fortune merged with the County Governor at all times, causing the County Governor to be silently poisoned.”

Xu Qing continued to speak. The city was completely in an uproar. The hurried breathing of hundreds of thousands of people under the platform was earth-shattering, stirring up a huge storm.

“The plain pill is poisonous?”

“How is this possible!!”

“But everything is reasonable and logical.”

“Plain pills are made by the Deputy Governor. He is the only source of it. All the medicinal shops have to go to the Deputy Governor’s residence to collect them!”

“What is real and what is fake!”

“Here… what’s the truth?!”

There was an uproar.

To everyone, what Xu Qing said was extremely shocking, causing their scalps to turn numb and cause monstrous waves.

Kong Xianglong gasped. All the Sword Holders trembled. The expressions of the Deputy Palace Masters also changed drastically.

This was especially so for the Deputy Governor. He stared at Xu Qing. He didn’t expect the other party to be able to investigate to this extent.

Xu Qing looked at the land of the city and spoke softly.

“Everyone in the entire city is poisoned. I don’t know how this poison will act up in the future and what calamity it will bring once it acts up.”

“I, Xu Qing, the holder of 100,000 ft light in the Emperor’s Heart Inquisition, will be responsible for every word I say.”

“Deputy Governor, my report is over. Please correct me!”

Xu Qing’s voice continued to echo in all directions. Regardless of whether they believed him or not, all gazes on the platform landed on the Deputy Governor in unison.

They weren’t the only ones. At that moment, the mortals in the city also looked in the same direction with mixed emotions of shock and anger.

This was because this concerned the personal safety of each of them!

When anything concerned the individual, no matter how small it was, it was still a huge matter.

At this moment, very few people would consider anything else. All of them only wanted an answer at this moment!

‘Are the plain pills you gave us all these years poisonous or not?!’

Xu Qing was once again on the side of the popular sentiment!

The first time, he used the prestige of the County Governor and the Palace Master to disperse the popular sentiment of the Deputy Governor, allowing him to have the qualifications to speak.

Soon after, it was neutralized by the Deputy Governor.

This time around, he used everyone’s safety to bring them to his side. He gathered the momentum and forced the Deputy Governor.
