Chapter 7 Who is Yuan Wuxing?
"I have a big case to report." Jiang Li put Jiang Yixing on the ground and bowed to City Lord Zeng.
"speak."
"My name is Zhang Li, I am from Qingcheng, a Yuanying cultivator, and this is my companion Yuan Wuxing, a Jindan cultivator. We heard that many babies have gone missing in Qingcheng in recent years, and the Qingcheng government is short of manpower, so we investigated privately and finally caught the culprit."
Jiang Li paused and pointed at Jiang Yixing on the ground.
"The culprit is the Jiang family's ancestor, Jiang Yixing!"
When the people outside the lobby heard Jiang Li's words, they were instantly in an uproar.
The dozen or so parents who had lost their children burst into tears upon hearing this. If the guards had not stopped them, they would have rushed into the lobby to demand Jiang Yixing's life. Yuan Wuxing told them that their children had been sacrificed.
"Zhang Li, don't talk nonsense. The Jiang family has been a good family for generations, and has produced heroes like Jiang Renhuang. If you make random guesses without any basis, I will charge you with defamation." City Lord Zeng's tone was calm, but there was a hint of threat in it.
"Of course there is evidence. Why did the Jiang family steal babies so frequently? Jiang Yixing's talent is mediocre, and he can barely cultivate to the Golden Core stage. Therefore, he thought of using the magic method to sacrifice the baby's blood, and use the baby's form to replenish the Nascent Soul. Only in this way can he break through the Nascent Soul and prolong his life."
Jiang Li ignored City Lord Zeng's threat and analyzed the situation slowly.
"I don't know if what I said is right, Jiang Yixing?" Jiang Li leaned down and looked at Jiang Yixing, who had an old face but rosy complexion. This was caused by absorbing the baby's blood.
"Who the hell are you!" Jiang Yixing was lying on the ground, seriously injured and unable to move. He was shocked. Apart from people of the same generation as him and in Qingcheng, who would know that his talent was mediocre and he was at the level where he could only build a foundation but hardly achieve the golden elixir!
Jiang Li sent a voice message: "I'm using my name to raise a big banner, but you don't recognize me, cousin?"
Jiang Yixing widened his eyes, the changing appearance of Jiang Li reflected in his pupils. Finally, from his figure and expression, he vaguely saw the appearance of the man who had run away from home.
A huge fear enveloped Jiang Yixing. If Jiang Li personally took action to deal with the Jiang family, there would be no possibility of him surviving. Not to mention that the Lord of Qingcheng City would protect him, even if the Emperor of Great Zhou came in person, it would be useless!
He wanted to shout out Jiang Li's name with all his strength, but Jiang Li secretly knocked him unconscious with a spell, and he didn't know how many days it would take for him to wake up.
When the onlookers heard Jiang Li say that Jiang Yixing was practicing the magic way, they whispered to each other and talked about it. The ancestor of the Jiang family, the cousin of the Human Emperor, actually practiced the magic way. This was a huge scandal. If this were to get out, they would probably be laughed at by people from other dynasties, laughing at them for being proud of the law but not governing strictly, and laughing at the rampant magic way in the Human Emperor's hometown.
The head of the Jiang family walked slowly over with a cane. People automatically made a path for him. Seeing the ancestor fainted on the ground, they hurried forward to check and found that the ancestor was only injured and unconscious, and his foundation was not damaged. Then they breathed a sigh of relief and spoke angrily to Jiang Li.
"Are you trying to say that my ancestor used babies to cultivate, so there must be resentment from the babies in his body? Sure, go ahead and test it, but you have to remember, if you can't find any resentment from the babies, then you will pay the price for insulting the Jiang family and Qingcheng!"
Chief Jiang said that this was a common method used in the Kyushu Continent to check for demons. Demons practiced to hurt others and benefit themselves, so most people would have resentment in their bodies, not to mention Jiang Yixing, who used hundreds of babies to practice, and the resentment in his body was probably sky-high.
Jiang Li chuckled: "Patriarch Jiang is really getting old and confused. You may have forgotten that you can use the power of faith to dissipate the resentment in Jiang Yixing's body."
Clan leader Jiang's face turned pale when Jiang Li revealed his true thoughts.
The power of faith can dissipate resentment. This is something few people know. He doesn't understand how Jiang Li knew this.
But it's useless to think about these things now. The most important thing is to suppress this matter as soon as possible.
"Although the resentment can be dispelled, the baby's bones are still left. I accidentally found a space node full of baby bones. You may take someone to have a look."
"Sir, you must not listen to this person's nonsense. This person has just entered the city for one day and has never been to Qingcheng before. How can someone accidentally discover a space node in one day and insist that it is from my Jiang family? This person must be someone hired by other families to slander my Jiang family. Please be careful!"
The reason why Patriarch Jiang arrived late was that he sent people to secretly investigate Jiang Li's identity and deal with the evidence. Unfortunately, it was too hasty and they only found out that Jiang Li had just arrived in Qingcheng and the space node had not been cleaned up yet.
"It's getting late. This case is complicated and it's hard to come to a conclusion. In order to find out the truth, we'll have to retry the case on another day." City Lord Zeng glanced at the unconscious Jiang Yixing, then glanced at the difficult Jiang Li. Fearing that he would come up with something else to say, he paused and continued, "Jiang Yixing will be put in jail for the time being."
"Adjourn!"
…
After the court session ended, City Lord Zeng no longer maintained his previous calm demeanor, and hurried to the secret room with Clan Leader Jiang for an urgent discussion.
"I told you to stop a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now look what happens, you've been discovered!" City Lord Zeng complained.
"What can I do? The ancestor is determined to do this, who can stop him?" Patriarch Jiang reluctantly refuted, but he lacked confidence.

"You told me at the beginning that this matter was secretly instructed by Emperor Jiang." City Lord Zeng glanced at Chief Jiang.
"It was our ancestor who insisted on doing this, and Emperor Jiang Renhuang reluctantly agreed." Clan leader Jiang quickly filled in the gap in his words.
"Can't we ask Emperor Jiang Ren to personally take action and suppress this matter? If he takes action, His Majesty will have to give him some face."
"It's difficult. Emperor Jiang always follows his heart and comes whenever he wants. The Jiang family has no means to contact him." The Jiang clan leader actually wanted to say, where did Emperor Jiang come from? If we can really contact Emperor Jiang, can we still go to great lengths to deceive the city lords one after another? Of course, this kind of inner thoughts cannot be said.
"So what do you think we should do now?"
"We should prepare for both situations. The old ancestor is very strict in his work. The only thing that can be regarded as evidence is the space where the baby was sacrificed with blood. I have sent people to deal with it, but it is hard to say what tricks the two of them can come up with. Yuan Wuxing is easy to deal with, as he is timid and weak-willed. But the one called Zhang Li is difficult to deal with. I have never heard of him before, but his fighting ability is extremely high. Judging from the way he captured the old ancestor alive, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best master in Qingcheng."
"Using force won't work. I will go find him tonight and see if I can persuade them to leave. This matter concerns the reputation of the Emperor. This person should not disregard the reputation of the Emperor and forcefully sue our ancestor."
"That's great." City Lord Zeng nodded, holding his beard, "But there is still a problem."
"What?"
"Who is Yuan Wuxing?"
