The emperor of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty seemed to possess a subtle and eerie aura.
Although Fang Xiu had no direct evidence to prove it, he had a vague feeling about it because he had been in contact with the supernatural and demigods for many years.
It felt like an illusion; you'd occasionally hear someone call your name, but when you turned around, there was no one there. In the end, you couldn't be sure if someone had actually called your name.
However, after a moment, he stopped thinking about it, because whether the emperor of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty was human or a monster was none of his business, as long as it didn't affect his fortune telling.
Fang Xiu went to have his fortune told as usual, and everything was calm and peaceful. It seemed that the emperor of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty breaking through to the demigod realm had not caused much of a stir.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
After two years, Fang Xiu has successfully condensed 129,000 Time Marks. He only needs 600 more to condense the Time Law and completely advance to the seventh rank, which is the Immortal Lord realm.
His own time acceleration also reached a terrifying nine times!
At this speed, let alone a Celestial Venerable, even a Celestial Emperor couldn't catch up with him.
It was precisely because of the ever-accelerating time acceleration that he was able to condense the Time Mark so quickly. Although his lifespan was continuously consumed by the time acceleration, it was all worth it.
What he pursued was never immortality, but becoming stronger and taking revenge!
However, good news was followed by bad news. He was finding it increasingly difficult to comprehend the Time Mark. Ordinary immortals could not provide the Time Mark, and only immortal emperors could provide a few. This caused his progress to hit a bottleneck.
There are not many Immortal Emperors in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, and even fewer Immortal Emperors whose fortunes he can tell.
On this day, Fang Xiu performed fortune-telling as usual. Even though he gained very little, he persisted. However, he noticed that the number of people sent by the Demon Suppression Division had been decreasing recently.
Even more rumors about him have been circulating in the court, and now a rumor is spreading like wildfire.
Rumor has it that there is no demonic tribulation at all. The so-called demonic possession is all caused by Zhou Qingfeng, the inspector of the Demon Suppression Division. Otherwise, why would all those who have gone demonic possession have been possessed by him after he told their fortunes?
People might even wonder if they wouldn't have gone mad if they hadn't let Zhou Qingfeng tell their fortunes.
The rumors spread like wildfire, eventually reaching Fang Xiu's ears. But what truly concerned him was not the spread of the rumors, but the fact that no one was stopping them.
Logically speaking, he was working for the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. Whatever his subordinates said, at least the court knew the truth. Moreover, not everyone who went astray had consulted him for fortune telling. There were also many people hidden among the common people who went astray without warning because they didn't have time to have their fortunes told. But all of this seemed to have been ignored, as if there was a mastermind behind it all.
Just as this strange atmosphere was gradually fading, Yun Yun suddenly arrived at the door.
She rushed over under the cover of night. Yun Yun no longer had the heroic spirit she once had. Instead, her face was full of frustration and solemnity. She looked like a wilted eggplant, as if she had suffered a major blow.
Yun Yun's first words were: "Zhou Qingfeng, I've been put in solitary confinement."
Fang Xiu calmly gazed at her, without asking how she had escaped from solitary confinement.
"so what?"
Yun Yun smiled bitterly: "You should know that there have been more and more rumors about you being the mastermind behind this lately, right? I have found out that the Crown Prince was the one behind it all. He deliberately spread rumors about you in order to undermine my prestige. Now he has succeeded. Even Father Emperor has believed his slander and plans to hold a joint trial for you tomorrow to see if you are really the mastermind behind the Demon Calamity."
I originally wanted to find a way to get around this, but I don't know what kind of spell the Crown Prince cast on my father. My father didn't believe me at all, and even thought I was involved, so he locked me up in seclusion.
I've come here today to discuss with you the strategy for tomorrow's joint trial.
So I won't have any more chances to have my fortune told in the future?
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was immediately enraged: "What kind of time is this to be thinking about fortune telling? Do you know you're about to die? Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will definitely use this opportunity to attack you. Once your crimes are proven, you will die without a burial place! Even if you are exonerated, the world may not believe you. As the saying goes, 'three men can make a tiger,' and now everyone is saying that you were behind it. It won't be so easy for you to explain to the world."
"Explanation? I never need to explain my actions to anyone," Fang Xiu said calmly, completely disregarding the crisis at hand.
"You!" Yun Yun was furious, but she didn't lash out. Instead, she took out several sheets of white paper covered with writing and handed them to Fang Xiu: "I knew you would do this, so I prepared a testimony for you in advance and arranged for witnesses. Tomorrow, you just need to read the testimony."
Fang Xiu did not accept the testimony, but instead asked, "Have you considered this: perhaps the mastermind behind this is not the Crown Prince?"
Yun Yun was taken aback: "If it's not the Crown Prince, then who could it be? Could it be the Third Prince? He doesn't have that much power."
Fang Xiu shook his head: "It's your father, the Emperor."
Yun Yun was shocked: "My father? What nonsense are you talking about? How could this be! My father loves me the most, how could he do such a thing to me?"
"Think about it carefully and you will understand. Although I am not a member of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, finding someone with the risk of becoming a demon through fortune-telling is generally beneficial to your Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. After all, someone who becomes a demon will affect the foundation of the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty and cause chaos in the world, which is something that no ruler would want to see."
But now they want to pin all the blame on me, and that says it all.
