Chapter 70: Interrogation with the Truth Talisman, A Bigger Conspiracy
Long Yufei’s expression changed slightly, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
If the previous Provincial Governor was truly killed by the two toddlers’ father, she wouldn’t be able to defeat him either.
Her mission was to investigate the truth and relay the true culprit’s information back to the Imperial Capital. By then, her true body, which was in closed-door cultivation, would receive the news and come personally.
Controlled by her true body, who was at the peak of the Martial Saint realm, the Provincial Governor’s Seal could suppress even a Martial Emperor with the power of fortune.
Most importantly, she still held a sliver of hope, wishing that the murderer wasn’t the father of the two little toddlers.
“Nonsense, my dad wouldn’t kill people indiscriminately.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen held their grilled meat, their cheeks puffed out, glaring angrily at Liu Feilong.
The spirit body turned to look at Long Yufei. He had no memory of these events, but if Long Yufei were to attack him, he wouldn’t mind killing her as well.
Anyone who threatened Chu Xin and Chu Chen, no matter who they were, would be killed without mercy.
Long Yufei felt the killing intent in the spirit body’s eyes, and her body trembled. She quickly said, “Liu Feilong, how can I believe you based on your words alone?”
Liu Feilong waved his hand and threw out a fist-sized stone. The stone floated in the air, emitting rays of light that intertwined to form a series of images.
In the images, a man identical to the spirit body forcefully resisted the backlash of the power of fortune, then suppressed Fu Zhantian, Qin Xinghai, Huo Feng, Liu Feilong, and the previous Provincial Governor who was holding the Provincial Governor’s Seal, forcing them to open the gate to the secret realm.
The images ended there.
“Wow! It’s Dad! He beat up all those bad guys, so cool.” Chu Xin cheered, looking at the man in the images with great pride.
“Dad is still the best, he sent those bad guys flying with one slap, unlike us who had to team up.” Chu Chen clapped his little hands, his face full of admiration.
Liu Feilong said coldly, “Provincial Governor Long, is this evidence enough?”
Long Yufei’s heart sank. Judging from the images recorded in this memory stone, the two little toddlers’ father was indeed the most likely suspect.
“The true culprit who killed the old Provincial Governor is right before your eyes, what are you waiting for, Provincial Governor Long? Let’s join forces and kill him,” Liu Feilong urged in a deep voice.
“Bad guy, don’t you dare speak ill of my dad, my dad wouldn’t kill people indiscriminately.”
Chu Xin roared in a childish voice, charging towards Liu Feilong with her grilled meat.
“I’ll beat you to death.”
Chu Chen also roared and followed his sister closely.
“Come back!”
The spirit body stretched out his hands, grabbed the two by the scruff of their necks, and pulled them back. He asked sternly, “Have you forgotten what I told you?”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, grabbed by the scruff of their necks, dangled in the air, swaying gently. Hearing this, their little faces were filled with confusion.
“Big Sister, Dad has said a lot of things, which one is he talking about?”
Chu Chen turned to Chu Xin and asked in a low voice.
“How would I know which one?”
Chu Xin rolled her eyes, then looked at the spirit body and asked with a smile, “Dad, how about you give us a hint?”
“Yes, yes! Give us a hint.”
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
The spirit body rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly, “I told you not to confront Martial Emperors on your own, have you forgotten already?”
“Oh, that one.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen suddenly understood.
“Do you remember now?”
The spirit body asked, still worried.
“We remember, Dad.”
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded their little heads repeatedly.
“Bang!”
Just then, a loud bang was heard. It was Liu Feilong trying to escape, but he had underestimated the power of the spirit body’s Saber and Sword Domain. He failed to break through the barrier and was bounced back instead.
The spirit body put down Chu Xin and Chu Chen and said gently, “You two go eat your grilled meat, I’ll go deal with the bad guy.”
◈◈◈
“Okay!”
The siblings nodded in unison.
Chu Xin added, “Dad, don’t kill him, I still want to use the Truth Talisman on him.”
“Yeah, make him tell the truth, or Auntie Long will think Dad is a bad guy,” Chu Chen chimed in.
“Alright!”
The spirit body glanced at Long Yufei again, then reached out with his hand. A giant hand appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Feilong, its five fingers trapping him in the middle, slowly closing in.
Within these five fingers, a separate space seemed to form. No matter how Liu Feilong attacked or struggled, he couldn’t escape this five-fingered space.
The space was filled with endless saber and sword Rule power, slicing and cutting.
The barrier of his Blood Devouring Soul Stealing Formation shattered instantly under the power of the saber and sword Rules.
Without the protection of the formation, the Rule power sliced through his body, causing excruciating pain that made Liu Feilong scream in agony.
When the five fingers closed, Liu Feilong could no longer move at all. The evil Rule power he had just gathered was completely suppressed and he couldn’t mobilize it.
“No, you can’t kill me.”
Fear filled Liu Feilong’s eyes. “Long Yufei, what are you waiting for? Attack!”
His only hope was for Long Yufei to use the Provincial Governor’s Seal to mobilize Lánzhōu’s power of fortune to restrict this spirit body, giving him a chance to escape.
Long Yufei hesitated, but after looking at the two little toddlers beside her, she ultimately chose not to act.
She chose to believe the two little toddlers. Perhaps the truth of this matter wasn’t what it seemed.
She would wait until the two little toddlers used their Truth Talisman.
Chu Chen’s small figure appeared out of thin air in front of the giant hand, floating in the air. He glared with his big, round eyes and said angrily, “You bad guy, my dad wouldn’t kill people indiscriminately. You must be lying.”
With that, he took out a Truth Talisman and slapped it onto Liu Feilong’s forehead.
Still not satisfied, he took out a stack of them and, with a wave of his chubby little hand, covered Liu Feilong’s entire head with Truth Talismans.
“Bad guy, who killed the old Provincial Governor?” Chu Chen asked in his childish voice.
“I did.”
Liu Feilong’s eyes were dull as he slowly spoke.
“You?”
Long Yufei’s body shook. The old Provincial Governor had the Provincial Governor’s Seal and was also a peak Martial Saint. How could Liu Feilong possibly kill him?
Right, the blood sea.
Long Yufei suddenly remembered that Liu Feilong possessed an evil power that could restrict the power of fortune. If he used it to envelop the Provincial Governor’s Seal and launched a sudden sneak attack, it wasn’t impossible.
Under the influence of the Truth Talisman, Liu Feilong recounted the entire incident in detail.
The images in the memory stone were real. Three years ago, Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s father did indeed force the previous Provincial Governor and others to forcibly open the gate to the secret realm and entered the Nine Provinces Secret Realm.
The previous Provincial Governor, Fu Zhantian, Qin Xinghai, and Huo Feng were recuperating in the forbidden area. Liu Feilong, who was only at the late stage of the Martial Saint realm at the time and not a major participant in the attack on Chu Feng, was not seriously injured and was responsible for guarding the four.
He took the opportunity to use the blood sea to envelop and kill the old Provincial Governor, devouring his True Qi and blood, raising his own cultivation to the peak of the Martial Saint realm. He also secretly placed a blood curse on Fu Zhantian and the other two.
In order to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, he had been constantly devouring Lánzhōu cultivators for the past three years. Unfortunately, he had not been able to break through, which led to today’s scheme.
Unfortunately, he encountered Chu Xin and Chu Chen, causing all his plans to fall through.
“Ai Kaorou, ask him where the blood sea and the Blood Devouring Soul Stealing Formation came from.”
Long Yufei suddenly spoke. These things were forbidden in the Nine Provinces, and ordinary people couldn’t possess them. This likely involved an even bigger conspiracy.
