Chapter 652 Scapegoat



He didn't care about being hunted down by the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. He wasn't even afraid of being hunted down by demigods, let alone the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. What he really cared about was that it seemed it would be even more difficult to tell fortunes for others in the future.

This turn of events was different from what he had imagined when he first came to Liuyun Immortal City. He originally wanted to demonstrate his ability to foresee the future, just like in the present world, so that everyone in the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty would flock to him, with everyone waving immortal pills and artifacts, begging him to tell their fortunes. However, he did not expect that his plan would backfire, and everyone would avoid him like the plague.

It's just that a few people died; the blame lies with the people of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty for their poor ability to accept things.

They had calculated everything perfectly and never made a mistake, yet they kept fixating on those dead people.

The local customs here are indeed not as simple and honest as they are in the real world.

With this thought in mind, Fang Xiu committed suicide.

......

........

The Heavenly Prison.

"Kid, what did you do to get here?"

Fang Xiu ignored the resurrected Blood Killing Immortal Venerable and instead closed his eyes to cultivate.

There is a recording stone in the prison, so he doesn't plan to continue doing what he did last time.

Anyway, I've already told the fortunes of these prisoners, seen their past, present, and future, and gained a lot of insight into the traces of time. I've already squeezed out all their value.

He was immersed in cultivation, focusing intently on condensing the Time Mark he had previously comprehended.

Meanwhile, outside, the previous story continued to unfold. Wu Chou, the Immortal Venerable, ultimately could not escape his fate of death. Refusing to believe in evil, he began to cultivate after the tender moment, then went into a qi deviation, causing chaos and attracting the attention of Zhou Bai, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

late at night.

The doors of the prison were opened, and Zhou Bai, with a solemn expression, walked in.

As he entered, the previously noisy prisoners instantly quieted down, clearly showing their great fear of this Hall Master of Law Enforcement.

Zhou Bai walked straight to Fang Xiu's cell door and examined him carefully.

"You are Zhou Qingfeng?"

Fang Xiu opened his eyes, his calm gaze revealing an air of absolute confidence.

He said calmly, "You're trying to frame me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai's expression changed instantly. He never expected that this would be his first meeting with Fang Xiu, and that the other party would see through his thoughts so directly!

He did want to frame someone, because Wu Chou had just died. Wu Chou's death was not important; what was important was that Wu Chou's wife had died. There had to be a scapegoat for that great immortal to vent his anger on.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What frame-up? I don't understand. Guards, take him to the torture chamber!"

A moment later, Fang Xiu was taken to the torture chamber.

"All of you step back. I will personally interrogate Zhou Qingfeng," Zhou Bai said coldly.

"Yes, Lord."

After all the bystanders had left the torture chamber, Zhou Bai stared intently at Fang Xiu with his sword-like eyes: "Tell me, is Wu Chou's death related to you?"

“If calculating his death date is also relevant, then it is relevant,” Fang Xiu said calmly.

"Hmph." Zhou Bai snorted coldly: "You told the fortunes of both Immortal Lord Nan'e and Wu Chou, and they both died. Don't tell me it's a coincidence?"

Fang Xiu nodded: "It's a coincidence."

Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback, then his face darkened: "It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin; then don't blame me..."

"It's very simple to prove whether it's related to me or not; just do a divination."

"You wish to have my fortune told?"

"Indeed, their deaths were preordained, and I merely revealed the secrets of heaven in advance. A divination will reveal whether what I said is true or false."

Zhou Bai sneered: "You tricked Wu Chou like this before, didn't you? And then plotted to kill him. Now you want to attack me?"

"Whether you count it or not is up to you. You can pin the blame on me, and then when I meet Wu Chou's father-in-law, I will prove to him that I was just good at making accurate predictions, not that I predicted who would die."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai's pupils contracted instantly, his heart filled with shock. He really knew everything! Could this person truly be so incredibly insightful?

Zhou Bai was caught in a dilemma. The great immortal official would definitely not believe his one-sided story. He would inevitably meet the murderer who killed his son-in-law and daughter. If this person was truly a master strategist, he might be able to see through the deception.

But if there's no scapegoat, you'll be the one who suffers.

Although his crime did not warrant death, he had served as the head of the Enforcement Hall to the fullest extent of his duties.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Bai gritted his teeth and made up his mind. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he took out a crystal-clear pill from his body: "This is the Heart-Questioning Pill. The person who takes this pill will tell the truth. If you are not the mastermind, then take it."

"good."

Fang Xiu took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhou Bai was overjoyed. In fact, what he gave was not the Mind-Questioning Pill, but the Mind-Bewitching Pill. Once someone took this pill, their mind would be bewitched, and they would say whatever they were told.

He didn't care whether Fang Xiu was the mastermind or not, but he needed Fang Xiu to be.

However, his plan was destined to fail. Not to mention that Fang Xiu possessed the divine nature of Ba Hui and was unafraid of all the world's rare poisons, his mind, filled with the illusions of strange gods, could not be deceived.

After a moment, Zhou Bai asked, "Did you kill Wu Chou?"

"no."

"It really was you... Wait, what did you say?!"

He froze completely.

Why?! Why didn't the Bewitching Pill work?! Could it be... that this person's mind has become so resilient that it can ignore the Bewitching Pill?

Legend has it that those with great perseverance and strong willpower are indeed unafraid of the Heart Elixir. Could it be that I have encountered one today?
