He hurriedly tapped Zui San's body a few times, then made a hand seal and pressed a palm onto Zui San's chest.
However, Zui San's wound was close to his heart, and his heart meridian was not sealed immediately. At this time, the venom had already spread throughout his body. In addition, his heart meridian was damaged, and Zui San's life was in imminent danger.
"Come help! What are you all standing there for?" Gu Yu shouted at the crowd. Zui San was a quasi-King Realm cultivator, and he couldn't seal his heart meridian at all. Yet these onlookers remained unmoved. No matter what Zui San had been like over the years, he was still a member of the Dragon Clan.
Upon hearing Gu Yu's roar, Shi Polu immediately stepped forward, his hands forming a hand seal as he placed a palm on Zui San's chest.
However, he still couldn't seal the other party's heart meridian, which made Gu Yu increasingly anxious.
"What are you all standing there for?" Gu Yu roared again.
"It's no use, he's a quasi-king, unless he's a king, but..." Shi Polu shouted loudly into the air, "Senior, please make a move... Senior..."
Shi Polu called out several times, but no one paid any attention to him. Looking at Zui San, whose breath was gradually weakening on the ground, he immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
"The Dragon Clan still has King Realm experts, right?" Gu Yu asked Shi Polu.
“It’s no use. This King Realm expert is not from my Dragon Clan. He may be in seclusion,” Shi Polu said sadly.
"Secluded in seclusion?" Gu Yu murmured. "Where is he in seclusion?"
“I don’t know,” Shi Polu said.
"That's right." Gu Yu suddenly thought of a place: the Dragon Palace Tower. That old man sweeping the floor was definitely not an ordinary person; his cultivation level had definitely surpassed the King Realm. Gu Yu immediately picked up Zui San and headed to the Dragon Palace Tower.
"Big brother, I have a way." At this moment, Qian Duoduo suddenly rushed over and said to the anxious Gu Yu.
"What method?"
"Give him this." Qian Duoduo immediately produced a pill in his hand. The pill was pure white, with traces of powerful medicinal energy and vitality flowing within it.
"Great Rejuvenation Pill?" Gu Yu was stunned when he saw the pill, but he didn't have time to think about anything else. He took the pill and stuffed it directly into Zui San's mouth.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill is no less effective than the Heaven-Reaching Pill, but their effects are different. The Heaven-Reaching Pill is a spiritual medicine for breaking through or restoring cultivation, while the Great Rejuvenation Pill is a holy medicine for healing injuries.
Although its medicinal effects are not as good as the Fruit of Life, it can still bring people back to life and heal flesh and bones.
As the Great Rejuvenation Pill entered his mouth, Zui San was immediately surrounded by a layer of white mist. His jet-black lips gradually returned to their normal color, and even his damaged heart meridians were rapidly recovering.
"Thank you." Gu Yu said to Qian Duoduo. Without this Great Rejuvenation Pill, Zui San's life might not have been saved. Moreover, the Great Rejuvenation Pill is extremely rare, and the entire human race could not produce more than ten of them.
"Brother, you're too kind. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, I don't need this thing." Qian Duoduo waved his hand and said, "As long as you can exempt me from breaking through to the Grandmaster level in a month, it's nothing."
"Duoduo, thank you." Gu Yu thanked her again. Qian Duoduo spoke lightly, but Gu Yu would remember this kindness.
"Even the Great Rejuvenation Pill probably can't remove the deadly poison from his body." Shi Polu, who had been observing Zui San, said in a deep voice, "However, his life has been saved. The Hundred Poisons Devouring Heart Gu, it's unbelievable that it really exists in this world, how vicious!"
"The Heart-Eating Gu of a Hundred Poisons?" Gu Yu frowned suddenly. He had seen this kind of poison in his previous life. It was impossible to remove. Even if the poisoned person did not die, they would have to endure the pain of a hundred poisons eating their heart every day. This shows the hatred of the poisoner for the poisoned person and the extent of their ruthlessness.
"Now that Minister Zui's life is spared, Minister Shi, we should take down this kid." At this moment, Zuo Lengfeng suddenly stepped forward and said. If Zui San hadn't suddenly appeared and blocked them, they would have already taken down Gu Yu. Now that Zui San had collapsed due to poisoning, no one could stop them.
"Arrest me." Gu Yu suddenly said softly to Shi Polu beside him, and then he immediately stood up.
"Gentlemen, since you believe I did it and think the evidence is sufficient, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation," Gu Yu said. Without Zui San protecting him, he couldn't run away or win a fight. He had no choice but to surrender. Besides, if he ran away, wouldn't that prove he was guilty and confirm his crime?
"Gentlemen, I suggest we cripple this kid now," Zuo Lengfeng said. "The evil art he cultivates is extremely strange. If we don't cripple him first, he might have some other tricks up his sleeve, which could become a great threat."
"Just detain him for now; there's no need to cripple his cultivation," Shi Polu said.
“Minister Shi, I think we must cripple his cultivation.” Zuo Lengfeng emphasized. All we’ve done is to get rid of Gu Yu. What’s the point of just imprisoning him? “Then we can interrogate him. I believe he definitely has accomplices.”
“Zuo Lengfeng, you’re right. I do have accomplices, and everything I’ve done has been orchestrated by someone.” Gu Yu suddenly looked at Zuo Lengfeng. Originally, because Zuo Lengfeng’s strength was unfathomable, it wasn’t the right time to arrest him. But since the other party was so aggressive and even wanted to cripple his cultivation, he couldn’t care less about anything else.
"Did you hear that? He admitted it." Zuo Lengfeng said excitedly upon hearing Gu Yu's words.
"Do you want to know who ordered me to do this?" Gu Yu asked, scanning the crowd around him. "It was him, Zuo Lengfeng, the head of the Academic Affairs Hall."
"You're talking nonsense." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Zuo Lengfeng immediately cursed.
"Master Zuo, Boss, you can't do this! We had a deal. You told me to do it without worry, and that you would take responsibility if anything went wrong. You even said we would pretend to be at odds and have a big fight to clear your name. Why are you changing your mind now?" Gu Yu pointed at Zuo Lengfeng and said aggrievedly, "Boss, are you using me?"
"You..." Zuo Lengfeng was speechless after Gu Yu's words. "You're spouting nonsense."
Most importantly, Zuo Lengfeng has something to hide! Moreover, at this moment, the people of the Dragon Division are all staring at Zuo Lengfeng, as if they are thinking about something.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I have a grudge against him, and this kid wants to use me as a scapegoat," Zuo Lengfeng hurriedly explained.
"Master Zuo, you don't need to explain. Your character is evident to all." A middle-aged man said at this moment. "Although I am only a senior instructor in the Dragon Division, I can guarantee with my life that Master Zuo would never do such a thing. This kid is just talking nonsense. Don't believe him!"
“That’s right, this kid is desperate now, he’s biting people randomly, don’t believe him,” someone else said.
"Boss, you have to save me! You were the one who sent me a telepathic message earlier, telling me to surrender. That's why I chose not to resist. Now you're going to cripple my cultivation. Boss, what you're doing is making my heart so cold!" Gu Yu said. Anyone can be unreasonable. If you, Zuo Lengfeng, want to cripple my cultivation, then I'll drag you down with me.
"I'll kill you." Zuo Lengfeng was furious. He was about to rush towards Gu Yu when Shi Polu suddenly blocked his way.
"Alright, arrest him first." Shi Polu shouted, unable to let the situation continue. If Gu Yu said something that provoked Zuo Lengfeng, and Zuo Lengfeng revealed his true colors, no one in his Dragon Division could stand up to him, which would be a great disaster.
"The murderer must be severely punished," Zuo Lengfeng said.
"As the vice minister, I order you to detain him first. I will interrogate him." Shi Polu frowned. If he hadn't been unable to subdue Zuo Lengfeng, he would have already taken action against him.
Seeing that Shi Polu was angry, everyone fell silent.
Gu Yu was immediately seized by several people and headed towards a certain place. Shi Polu looked worried. What should he do? Originally, Gu Yu was tasked with reorganizing the Dragon Division and investigating spies, but now Gu Yu was being treated as a spy. This was getting more and more troublesome.
On the morning of the second day, Gu Yu was bound by a dense array of iron chains, and Shi Polu stood in front of him.
"Tell me your plan?" Shi Polu asked Gu Yu. The current situation was very passive, and Shi Polu racked his brains but still didn't know what to do next.
"Do you believe that I didn't absorb those people's cultivation?" Gu Yu asked Shi Polu. At this moment, his cultivation was sealed, and the chains binding him were made of alloy, which he could not break free from. However, if he wanted to leave, he could break free.
The reason he asked Shi Polu that question was because Shi Polu had initially become suspicious of him. If Shi Polu didn't believe him, he would have been thinking about how to escape by now.
"When I first saw that scene, I thought it was you. But Zui San's words reminded me that even if my judgment is wrong, Qinglong is never wrong," Shi Polu replied truthfully.
"How is Zui San doing?"
"His life has been saved, but his cultivation may be severely damaged in the future, and he will also have to endure the pain of being devoured by a hundred poisons," Shi Polu replied.
"Hmm! That's good." Gu Yu was relieved to hear Shi Polu's reply. "To be honest, you were actually doubting me."
"No, I don't suspect you now," Shi Polu hurriedly explained.
"Alright then! Since you don't doubt me now, I'll reluctantly tell you. I don't have any plans, and I don't know what to do next. All of this happened too suddenly, so suddenly that I was caught off guard. They're targeting me, so they set this trap." Gu Yu said. He really didn't have any plans, and he had fallen into a plan designed for him by others, which was very uncomfortable.
"You have no plan, yet you want me to arrest you?" Shi Polu stared with his big eyes, looking like he was about to blow his beard out.
"What better way was there than to arrest me? I couldn't escape anyway," Gu Yu said with a shrug.
"I..." Shi Polu felt an urge to rush over and slap Gu Yu across the face. When Gu Yu told him to "arrest me," he thought Gu Yu had some grand plan, but it turned out he wasn't. Wasn't this just a joke?
"Why don't you release me first, and I'll think about how to deal with this?" Gu Yu said, looking at Shi Polu, who was glaring at him with his beard bristling.
"For now, we can only release you. We have both witnesses and evidence. According to the rules, you should be executed," Shi Polu said. After thinking it over, he could only quietly release Gu Yu.
"Since you really trust me now, I can tell you that those who drained the students' cultivation were Nightmare Clan members. Their strength is around the fourth level. During my fight with him, he used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique, and his vitality should be severely damaged by now," Gu Yu said to Shi Polu.
"Nightmare Clan?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Shi Polu frowned. He had thought that there was someone in the Dragon Clan who practiced evil arts, but he never expected that it was actually a different race.
“Based on my guess, he must have accomplices, and last night’s plan was 100% aimed at me,” Gu Yu added.
"Who do you suspect his accomplices are?" Shi Polu asked.
"There are many, too. There are too many people in the Dragon Division who don't like me now. Maybe it's a genius, or a certain instructor, or even Zuo Lengfeng." Gu Yu said, expressing his guess.
"It's probably going to be difficult to investigate." Shi Polu was having a headache. There were many Dragon Clan students, and it would be too difficult to investigate, especially since the Nightmare Clan was good at concealing their aura and disguising themselves.
“It’s not easy to investigate, but since they’re targeting me, what should I do now, following their plan?” Gu Yu asked Shi Polu.
"Caught red-handed, they were executed on the spot," Shi Polu said, puzzled.
“That’s right. Since we don’t have a plan, let’s follow their plan.” Gu Yu’s eyes gleamed.
"How do we proceed?" Shi Polu still didn't understand Gu Yu's meaning.
“Kill me,” Gu Yu said to Shi Polu.
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Shi Polu was immediately jolted. Kill Gu Yu? What a joke! Even if Gu Yu were the murderer, he couldn't kill him because he didn't have the authority. He had to hand Gu Yu over to Qinglong for disposal.
“Getting old, my brain really isn’t working well.” Looking at Shi Polu, whose eyes were wide open like copper bells, Gu Yu shook his head and said, “I meant pretending to kill me, as if I had already been executed.”
"Oh!" Shi Polu nodded as if he had just realized something, but then he froze for a second. "And what's next?"
“Next, of course, is to hide me!” Gu Yu said.
"What if they don't show up?" Shi Polu asked, he really didn't understand Gu Yu's plan at all.
"So what if I don't show up?" Gu Yu shrugged. "The most important thing right now is that I need to be rescued."
"But…………"
"Sigh!" Gu Yu sighed. "Catching spies is never easy, and we can't think of any plan. It would be better to rescue me first. If they don't show up, I can change my identity and continue to appear in the Dragon Division without having to run for my life. This is the most advantageous thing for us right now."
"That's the only way for now," Shi Polu nodded and said.
The next second, to Shi Polu's astonishment, Gu Yu exerted all his strength, and the iron chains binding him snapped one by one. Gu Yu's physical strength was one zigzag, so sealing his cultivation did not have a significant impact on him. Immediately afterwards, a Source Soldier stepped out.
“That’s me. You can tell them I self-destructed,” Gu Yu said to Shi Polu. The next second, a strong white light suddenly emanated from the source soldier.
Rumble...
A loud bang was heard. The damage from the explosion of the source weapon had no effect on Gu Yu. However, Shi Polu was caught off guard by the sudden explosion and was blasted into a dusty mess.
If he hadn't possessed the cultivation level of a general, he probably would have died on the spot.
"You did this on purpose, kid?" Shi Polu asked, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger.
"Minister Shi, don't be angry. This is the only way to be honest, and only then will people believe it," Gu Yu said with a slight smile. To be honest, he did it on purpose. After all, this guy had doubts about him in the first place. Gu Yu was no saint.
“You…” Shi Polu looked at Gu Yu, and to be honest, he really wanted to rush up and slap Gu Yu twice.
"Minister Shi, the commotion here is quite significant. I'll make my escape." Gu Yu turned and left the next second. Seeing that Shi Polu was about to attack, he figured it was the perfect time to leave.
As Gu Yu left, Shi Polu frowned as he looked at the spot where Gu Yu had disappeared. "What kind of evil technique does he practice? What was that black guy just now? His cultivation level is probably at the first level."
But he didn't have time to think too much. At that moment, several people rushed in, and the leader was none other than Zuo Lengfeng.
"Minister Shi, what happened?" Zuo Lengfeng frowned and asked, looking at the mess around him and the lingering energy from the explosion.
"That kid refused to say who his accomplices were, so he blew himself up," Shi Polu said.
"It self-destructed?" Zuo Lengfeng was stunned. Looking at the energy fluctuations around him, he realized that it was indeed energy left behind by the self-destruction, and this energy was indeed generated by the self-destruction of a cone.
But he always felt something was amiss; he just couldn't believe that Gu Yu, that treacherous scoundrel, would self-destruct.
"Minister Shi, did he really self-destruct?" Zuo Lengfeng asked Shi Polu.
"What do you mean?" Shi Polu was already furious when he heard Zuo Lengfeng's question. His eyes widened immediately. "Do you think I'm protecting that kid?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Zuo Lengfeng immediately shook his head in denial, and Shi Polu's disheveled appearance didn't seem like an act.
"Hmph!" Shi Polu snorted coldly. "Pass on my orders to strengthen the Dragon Division's defenses, make sure to find Gu Yu's accomplices, and also spread the news of Gu Yu's self-destruction."
"Yes," Zuo Lengfeng replied, bowing.
"Damn it, what bad luck!" Shi Polu cursed as he walked out of the cell.
At the same time, news spread throughout the Dragon Clan that Gu Yu was the culprit who had been feeding on the Dragon Clan students and that he had self-destructed in the detention room.
Some people were overjoyed. Gu Yu was too powerful, and the war department he established seriously affected the interests of some people. These people were delighted. Similarly, some people were saddened at this moment, and many more were at a loss.
Among them were Lu Yun and Li Zhiran. They had just reached a cooperation agreement with Gu Yu, and now Gu Yu was dead! This is no joke.
Qian Duoduo was also overwhelmed with grief at this moment, "Big brother, how could you die! Who will protect me now! Big brother!"
