“Zhou Qingfeng, you committed violence in the street, disregarding the laws of Liuyun Immortal City. Aren’t you afraid of attracting the attention of the Enforcement Hall?” someone shouted.
Fang Xiu ignored him, calmly glanced around, and said indifferently, "Is there anyone else who wants their fortune told?"
When the crowd met those calm eyes, and with the mysterious death of the Southern Crocodile Immortal Lord, a chill inexplicably ran through them.
Fortune telling? That's practically asking for your life!
Killing a Celestial Lord is not terrible. Although there are not many people in this world stronger than Celestial Lords, there are still some. But the problem is that it happened silently, and a Celestial Lord died without even having a chance to resist. That is quite shocking.
The unknown is always the most terrifying.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Fang Xiu felt a little regretful. He had originally wanted to use the power of time and fate to make an accurate prediction, thereby attracting countless people just like in the present world, but he did not expect that the first step would go wrong.
I imagine that today's events will spread among the people present, and I will certainly gain some fame, but it may not necessarily benefit my fortune telling.
Just as Fang Xiu was pondering whether he should take out another top-grade immortal artifact, a powerful aura rose from afar.
"Make way for the Enforcement Hall."
A group of immortals clad in gleaming silver armor strode in.
The leader had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a cold gaze, and his powerful aura as a Celestial Venerable was undisguised.
People around immediately retreated.
"It's Immortal Venerable Wu Chou!"
"Unexpectedly, it is Immortal Venerable Wu Chou on duty today. Zhou Qingfeng is doomed. Immortal Venerable Wu Chou is known for his impartiality. The former young master of the Earthly Fiend Valley committed a crime in the street and was caught by Immortal Venerable Wu Chou. He showed no mercy and executed the young master of the Earthly Fiend Valley on the spot."
"What? Is that really true? How could the Valley Master of Earthly Fiend Valley let this go so easily?"
Someone scoffed, "Him? The Law Enforcement Hall of Liuyun Immortal City is backed by the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. Are they afraid of a mere Valley Master?"
Immortal Venerable Wu Chou walked straight toward Fang Xiu, first glancing at the top-grade immortal artifact on the table in surprise, then fixing his gaze on Immortal Lord Nan E, frowning: "What's going on?"
"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable, this person is Immortal Lord Nan'e. He was just here telling fortunes when he was killed by Zhou Qingfeng," someone explained in a low voice, pointing to Fang Xiu as well.
Immortal Venerable Wu Chou's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked coldly at Fang Xiu. His powerful immortal aura pressed down on Fang Xiu like Mount Tai.
However, Fang Xiu's expression remained unchanged in the face of this terrifying aura.
A hint of surprise appeared in Wu Chou Xianjun's eyes. A True Immortal with the cultivation of a top-grade immortal artifact, and still unmoved in the face of the aura of an Immortal Venerable, which immortal family's prodigy is this?
However, he was not afraid of the power behind Fang Xiu, because the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty he was backed by was one of the top powers in the entire Yunzhou. There were only a few powers that he could not easily offend. In order to prevent any misunderstandings, he had already secretly memorized the people of those immortal sects and families that he could not easily offend. Although he could not have met them all, he still knew a thing or two about the most famous geniuses.
There is absolutely no Zhou Qingfeng in it.
To outsiders, he appears to be impartial and incorruptible, but in reality, he treats people differently based on their status. If someone is someone you can't afford to offend, then you're asking for trouble. As for those you can afford to offend, then you'll offend them to the point of death.
"They say you killed Immortal Lord Nan'e, is that true?" Immortal Venerable Wu Chou coldly questioned.
"Where's the evidence?" Fang Xiu remained calm.
"Heh." Immortal Venerable Wu Chou sneered, "So many people here saw it, and you still dare to deny it?"
"Oh? Then ask if anyone saw me make a move?" Fang Xiu said calmly. With Zhou Qingfeng's appearance, even his voice became gentle and refined, like a gentleman as modest as jade.
Immortal Venerable Wu Chou scanned the crowd, only to find that they were all looking at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to utter a sound.
He frowned: "What happened? Didn't any of you see him make a move?"
The crowd was slightly embarrassed because they hadn't actually seen Fang Xiu make a move. They had only heard him count to three, then Nan'e Immortal Lord died silently.
"You, tell me what exactly happened?" Wu Chou Immortal Venerable casually pointed to one of the people in the crowd.
The person who was called upon dared not disobey and quickly recounted the entire incident in detail.
The more Wu Chou Immortal Venerable listened, the more his brows furrowed.
Setting up a fortune-telling stall? If you can't predict the outcome, you'll have to pay with a top-grade immortal artifact? Or you'll be the one to kill the Southern Crocodile Immortal Lord on the spot?
His gaze kept shifting between Fang Xiu and the top-grade immortal artifact, wondering what Fang Xiu's purpose was in falling to the ground. How could someone in this world be unable to accurately predict the loss of a top-grade immortal artifact?
This is a top-grade immortal artifact. Even the weapon used by Wu Chou, a Celestial Venerable, is not just a high-grade immortal artifact.
Looking at the top-quality immortal artifact on the table, it would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.
Seeing that no one had seen Fang Xiu make a move, Wu Chou Immortal Venerable had no choice but to examine the cause of death of Nan E Immortal Lord himself. He first turned Nan E Immortal Lord's body over and found that the other party's face was normal, as if he was asleep, and there was no external injury on his body.
Could it be poisoning?
Thinking this, Wu Chou Immortal Venerable placed his hand on Nan E Immortal Lord's body, trying to probe for the toxins in his body, but found nothing.
This result stunned him, because he found no signs of poisoning on the Southern Crocodile Immortal Lord. There were no external or internal injuries, yet the man was dead, and his death looked like that of someone who had died of old age.
Wu Chou Immortal Venerable would never have imagined that Nan E Immortal Lord was indeed poisoned, but by the treacherous poison of Ba Hui. Given his status, he would never have been able to detect even the slightest clue.
He looked at Fang Xiu suspiciously, wanting to enforce the law but unable to find any evidence.
If dealing with an ordinary person, law enforcement certainly doesn't need evidence, but this person in front of us is clearly not an ordinary person.
Can an ordinary person casually produce a top-grade immortal artifact? And be able to kill an immortal lord silently?
Even if such a person is not a scion of one of the major powers, the influence behind them is still not to be underestimated. To deal with such a person, one must rely on evidence. Otherwise, if the influence behind them investigates and one is not in the right, the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty may not be able to protect one.
At this moment, Fang Xiu suddenly spoke up: "During your time here, you have subtly looked at the Seven Star Dragon-Trapping Sword no less than five times. It seems you really want this top-grade immortal artifact."
Immortal Venerable Wu Chou's expression immediately turned cold: "Nonsense! How could I be a person who covets treasures?"
"No need to hide it, the immortal artifact is right here. You can have your fortune told. If I'm wrong, I'll give you a top-grade immortal artifact." Fang Xiu didn't miss any opportunity to have his fortune told, especially since Wu Chou was an Immortal Venerable, and therefore worth having his fortune told.
Wu Chou Immortal Venerable sat down in front of the stall with a cold smile: "Your methods of killing are indeed superb. I heard that Southern Crocodile Immortal Lord was killed by your divination. That's just right. You can do a divination for me and let me see your methods."
He never mentions immortal artifacts, yet he's always talking about them.
