Fang Xiu calmly observed these witnesses. He knew very well that some of them genuinely believed he was the culprit, while others were fabricating stories in secret. However, none of that mattered, as he had not come here today to explain himself.
When everyone is trying to frame you, even if you produce irrefutable evidence, it will be useless; people will only believe what they believe.
"Zhou Qingfeng, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Liuyun's majestic voice rang out. Although it did not carry an aggressive tone, it was like Mount Tai pressing down, suppressing the emperor with a grand and dignified kingly way.
"Is there anything else?" Fang Xiu asked calmly.
"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, Yun'er."
When Yun Yun's name was called, her delicate body trembled. She raised her head with a complicated expression and looked at Fang Xiu. The struggle and guilt in her eyes intensified. She took a deep breath, and the emotions in her eyes slowly faded away, eventually returning to the noble and indifferent demeanor she had when they first met, regaining the aura of a princess.
She said indifferently, "Father, Yun'er can testify that everything was orchestrated by Zhou Qingfeng in secret. Yun'er was also deceived by him before."
Yun Yun's words had a decisive effect. Because of her noble status and her position in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, her words could almost kill Fang Xiu and were enough to influence public opinion and put an end to the matter.
After saying this, Yun Yun didn't dare to look at Fang Xiu. She knew that Fang Xiu was doing things for her, but in the end she turned against him. This betrayal made her feel guilty, but she kept comforting herself that she had no choice.
If he didn't do this, he would have no way to sever ties with Fang Xiu. It's better for one person to die than for two to die.
Zhou Qingfeng, rest assured, when I become Empress one day, I will definitely clear your name and exonerate you!
Yun Yun secretly vowed to give herself ample psychological comfort.
She couldn't help but glance at Fang Xiu, but was slightly taken aback because she didn't see the anger, doubt, or disbelief she had imagined. Instead, she saw the same calm in his eyes as always.
It feels like you stabbed someone in the back with a knife, and they turned around, glanced at you calmly, and then went about their business, completely ignoring you.
"Zhou Qingfeng, the evidence is overwhelming. What excuse do you have now?" Emperor Liuyun demanded.
"I did it."
"You still dare to be cunning when you're about to die... What did you say?" Emperor Liuyun was stunned.
“I said, it was me who did it. I was the one who killed Master Tianwen, and I was the one who secretly tampered with the cultivators, causing them to go into qi deviation. Everything they said was me.”
These words caused an uproar, and the crowd became even more agitated the next second!
"Give me back my husband's life!"
"You demon! You will die a horrible death!"
Yun Yun looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, not understanding why he would take all the blame. Had he given up on himself? Or was it that after hearing her accusations, he wanted to distance himself from her and therefore took all the blame?
Emperor Liuyun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhou Qingfeng, are you going to confess your crimes?"
Fang Xiu slowly scanned his surroundings, looking at the indifferent celestial officials and the agitated witnesses, before finally fixing his gaze on Emperor Liuyun and saying calmly, "When did I say I would confess my guilt?"
Emperor Liuyun's gaze turned cold: "You just confessed to all your crimes yourself."
"Yes, I did admit it, but I did not admit it to plead guilty, but to state a fact."
"What facts?"
Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Fang Xiu's lips: "The truth is, even if I did everything, what can you... do to me?"
quiet!
An eerie silence!
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Fang Xiu in disbelief. No one expected that this person would be so audacious, no, to be precise, he was utterly depraved!
In front of the Emperor of Liuyun, in the Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, how dare he utter such arrogant words?
Emperor Liuyun's face immediately darkened.
"Arrogant!"
"You arrogant brat!"
"This is the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty, it's not your place to be so presumptuous!"
Countless celestial officials rushed to denounce him, their faces filled with rage, as if Fang Xiu were their father's killer.
"You're nothing but a bunch of ants. I'll stand here today and see what you can do to me. I've already done as you wished and admitted everything. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!
Fang Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, his words, neither too heavy nor too light, conveying utter contempt for everyone present.
"Guards, seize Zhou Qingfeng!" Emperor Liuyun said grimly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Heavy footsteps sounded, and from all directions of the hall, squads of armored guards surged in like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiu was completely surrounded.
However, the next second, a shocking change occurred!
The soldiers who had just formed ranks suddenly had a line of blood appear on their necks, and then, like dominoes, they collapsed to the ground one by one, while Fang Xiu remained calmly standing in the middle of the corpses.
hiss!
Such a horrifying scene caused everyone present to gasp in shock. Many of them hadn't even seen Fang Xiu make his move, and yet all the soldiers had fallen. Such methods were truly terrifying!
"Anyone below the level of an Immortal Emperor should not come out to their death."
"You arrogant brat, let me teach you a lesson!"
Within one of the giant projections, a flash of light appeared, and the projection instantly shrank into the shape of a person. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a loose official robe, wearing a black gauze hat, with a white jade ring around his waist, and holding a three-foot sword.
