Chapter 1347 Tell the Truth
The feeling of piercing the flesh of the evil seed, killing it instantly, filled Wuyou with joy, making him feel that his sword had been sublimated.
The Overlord started humming, while Song Chunxue quietly hid in the distance, watching everything with a cold eye.
But then she suddenly heard a short, startled cry.
Is everything cleaned up? There are people nearby.
[Wait a moment, it's just something I did.]
"Swish swish swish~"
In the blink of an eye, everyone who was breathing, whether in front of the campfire or inside the cave, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
There were no wrongful killings or accidental killings, because Song Chunxue's cultivation had increased dramatically over the past twenty years, and Wuyou was also able to quickly distinguish between righteous and evil, good and evil.
[Withdraw.]
[Whoosh!]
The sound of carefree birds flitting through the treetops was so clear.
The person holding the peephole not far away was terrified. The long mirror fell to the ground, and he fell straight backward, muttering, "So...so strong killing intent."
Xie Zheng stared intently at the commotion, feeling a sense of déjà vu about the flying sword and its swift movements.
“Damn it,” a group of people lying in the grass stood up, “what about all our planning and scheming over the past six months, all that rambling and hesitation over the past two weeks?”
Xie Zheng replied casually, "It's all just busywork."
He put away his binoculars, turned around calmly, and said, "Let's go downstairs and clean up this mess."
The commander standing to the side bowed and said, "I dare not let you, sir, participate in the arena yourself. Please wait here for a moment."
Lord Xie lifted the hem of his magnificent purple official robe, his eyes cold and stern. "Here, there aren't so many rules. But anyone who neglected their duties tonight and went to the Drunken Flower Pavilion to drink will be dealt with accordingly."
The commander looked up in surprise, "My lord...aren't you afraid of the major families...?"
“A bunch of good-for-nothing scoundrels, let them come. I’m not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of them?” A strand of silver hair at his temple was disheveled and lightly brushed against his cheek. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. “I’m just waiting for them to lose their patience and make their move.”
The general was speechless for a moment. His lips moved, and after a long while, he bowed and clasped his hands, saying with utmost solemnity, "Yes, sir, I obey your command."
...
"Have you heard? The entire court is in chaos lately. Whether it's the Ministry of Justice, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Censorate, or the Three Departments, everyone is swamped with work. Has someone stirred up a hornet's nest?"
"I've not only heard about it, I've seen it myself. I drink tea on the street every day, but lately I've been afraid to walk in the middle of the road, for fear of being trampled to death by a horse's hoof that suddenly appears."
The people in the teahouse pointed out the window, "See? Even the other civil officials are incredibly busy. Apparently, that group of lawless and rampant evil people were wiped out in one fell swoop, with nearly two hundred dead or injured..."
“No injuries at all, they’re all dead.” A man with a mustache interrupted the former, swinging his legs, and laughed with great interest. “This is going to be interesting. I wonder who had the guts to be so courageous.”
Someone understood and leaned down to lower their voice, "What, is there another way to do this?"
The man with the mustache looked up at the roof and said, "Do you really think that those ruthless bastards under the emperor's nose are someone that even the Imperial Observatory, the Imperial Preceptor, and many righteous people wouldn't dare to easily interfere with?"
"Their leader is...in the palace?"
The man with the handlebar mustache smiled even more broadly. "That's not what I said."
"Shh, keep quiet, let's have some tea, staying alive is the most important thing."
"Yes, yes, it's more important to stay alive. My neck is a bit cold, I'll go home first."
The teahouse was in a noisy state. Master Gushan didn't sit down to drink a pot of tea. After listening to the corner of the wall, he returned to Fengyu Temple.
Song Chunxue was sunbathing when she heard footsteps and lazily turned her head. "Finally, someone's looking for me?"
Let's talk somewhere else.
Song Chunxue was enjoying the sun when she snapped her fingers, setting up a soundproof spell. "Speak freely."
"Tell me the truth, did you do this earth-shattering thing?" Master Gushan's heart was pounding in his throat, but he still managed to ask calmly.
"What did you say? What earth-shattering thing is it that you're asking me?" Song Chunxue said casually. "Is dinner ready yet?"
"It really is you! I knew it!" Master Gushan ran over excitedly. "Then, could you come with me to the last place? We missed a big fish."
