"Gentlemen, there's no point in saying more. The position of Inspector should be held by the most capable person. Let's see who has the best skills. Guards, bring him in."
At Yun Yun's command, a young man trembling all over with bloodshot eyes was quickly brought up by the guards.
The man seemed terrified of people. He was locked in a cage with his head buried tightly under his crotch, afraid to show his face. His trembling body betrayed his tension and fear.
"This person is a rogue cultivator who was recently possessed by demonic energy and is now delirious. He will likely suffer a qi deviation soon. The contest between the two of you will be to predict when he will suffer a qi deviation, and the one who predicts most accurately will win," Yun Yun explained.
"Which of you masters will go first?"
Master Tianwen snorted coldly: "Let him go first. What if he steals the answer after I finish calculating?"
"No, I have a specially made scroll here. The two masters have calculated the exact time. Just write it on the scroll, and we will reveal it when this person falls into demonic possession."
As Yun Yun was explaining, Fang Xiu had already walked towards the cage. He never refused fortune telling; some things could wait until the fortune telling was done before doing them.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fang Xiu reached into the cage and grabbed the man's arm. The arm was bluish-black, with a layer of black scales faintly visible, clearly indicating that the man was on the verge of falling into demonic possession.
He didn't care and then started reading his palm.
At this moment, a sneer rang out from the audience; it came from Master Tianwen.
"Hahaha... I'm not seeing things, am I? Palm reading? Such an ancient technique, even charlatans don't use it anymore, yet I'm seeing it here today?"
"Oh, that's true. After all, he's only recently become an immortal, and probably can't even understand the laws, so he can only resort to such an ancient method."
While Master Tianwen was mocking him, Fang Xiu had already finished reading that person's fate.
He slowly rose, walked back calmly, and wrote the time on his scroll.
"Master Tianwen, it's your turn," Yun Yun reminded him.
Unexpectedly, Master Tianwen said arrogantly, "No need. The moment I saw this person, I calculated his past and present lives. Bring me a pen."
Then, Master Tianwen wrote the time on the scroll with a flourish of his brush, and after finishing, he gave Fang Xiu a provocative look.
"Since both masters have finished their calculations, I will open these two scrolls together when this person falls into demonic possession. At that time, the one who calculates most accurately will become the Inspector. I believe you two have no objections."
Master Tianwen said proudly, "I naturally have no objection, but I'm afraid some people can't accept defeat."
Yun Yun smiled faintly: "Both of you are masters of the Heavenly Secrets Dao. I believe that no one would do such a thing. Let's just wait for the result."
At that moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out: "There's no need to wait for the result."
It was Fang Xiu who spoke.
All eyes immediately turned to him, clearly unsure of what he meant.
Master Tianwen sneered: "What? You're not even waiting for the result? Are you afraid of losing too badly?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiu ignored him completely, and instead looked calmly at Yun Yun, saying indifferently, "The only candidates for Inspector are the two of us, right?"
Yun Yun frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party wanted to do, but still politely replied, "That's right. The Liuyun Immortal Dynasty is so large, but it is not easy to find a Heavenly Mystery Master who can shoulder important responsibilities. You two are the best candidates."
Fang Xiu nodded, then uttered a sentence that would make everyone's expression change: "In that case, as long as he dies, wouldn't I become the Inspector?"
Everyone was instantly shocked; no one expected Fang Xiu to say such a thing.
Yun Yun's composure and politeness had completely vanished, and she stared at Fang Xiu with her eyebrows furrowed. She hadn't expected him to be so arrogant.
Not to mention that Master Tianwen is a Celestial Lord, just considering that he, a Celestial Venerable, and Zhennan King, a Celestial Emperor, are standing here, how dare a mere True Immortal say such things?
Master Tianwen, enraged, laughed coldly: "I'll stand right here and see how... how... a mere True Immortal like you..."
He stopped mid-sentence, unable to continue. He was struck dumb, his eyes bulging, veins popping on his face, and he clutched his neck tightly with both hands, as if he were suffering unimaginable pain.
"Save...save..." Master Tianwen's eyes were filled with almost tangible terror. He trembled as he reached out his hand to the Prince of Zhennan, but as soon as he raised it, it was as if his bones had been pulled out, and he was thrown heavily to the ground.
As expected of a Celestial Emperor, the Prince of Zhennan was the first to react. He appeared beside Master Tianwen in a flash, catching the other's body before he fell, and quickly channeled his power into him.
"Zhou Qingfeng! It was you who poisoned him! How dare you!" The Prince of Zhennan was furious. He knew about Zhou Qingfeng's crime of poisoning the entire second level of the Heavenly Prison, so he immediately assumed that Master Tianwen had also been poisoned.
Fang Xiu calmly met the gaze of an enraged Immortal Emperor, completely ignoring the terrifying aura emanating from him.
In fact, he had long planned to kill Tianwen, not only because the other party spoke rudely, but also because he did not want to share fortune-telling with anyone.
Whether he is the Inspector or the Deputy Inspector, as long as Tianwen is alive, he will inevitably take away a portion of his fortune-telling clients, so Tianwen deserves to die.
He originally planned to kill her directly at the beginning, but Yun Yun had prepared a fortune teller. How could he refuse a fortune teller who came to his door? Naturally, he would have the fortune told first and then kill her.
And so, this scene unfolded.
At this moment, Yun Yun took out a magic pill from her body and hurriedly made Master Tianwen take it, but the magic pill, which came from the royal family’s collection and was said to be able to cure all poisons, had no effect at all.
She looked coldly at Fang Xiu, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent. She was always good at disguising her emotions, because it helped her control her subordinates and prevent them from guessing her thoughts. But at this moment, she could no longer pretend.
Fang Xiu's lawless behavior made her realize that the other party did not take her, the princess, seriously at all, otherwise they would not have dared to kill someone in front of her.
When Yun Yun heard that Fang Xiu had killed everyone on the second level of the Heavenly Prison, she was surprised but not too concerned. She had her own vicious subordinates, but they were all obedient to her. She was confident that she could control Fang Xiu.
But now things are different. She knows she can't control Fang Xiu, and even wants to kill him. She hates people she can't control.
"The antidote," Yun Yun said coldly, her voice icy and unquestionable. It was the imposing aura she had cultivated over many years as a princess. Under this immense pressure, it was easy to imagine that anyone who dared to refuse her would pay an extremely heavy price.
However, Fang Xiu's reply was: "There is no antidote for my poison."
