Qiong Qi suddenly launched itself at the flying chariot, sailing across the sky like a released arrow.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi were taken aback.

At this time, Qiong Qi hovered high in the sky and barked at the flying chariot a few times. All of a sudden, it lifted its hind leg and peed in the air.

“…”

Qiong Qi was not an ordinary beast. Moreover, after being nourished by the Great Void Seed, its growth was tremendous, and its intelligence was not low. It knew the flying chariot was dangerous so after it peed, it turned and flew back.

Everyone was caught off guard and confused. They did not understand Qiong Qi’s behavior.

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Upon hearing this, Conch conveyed Qiong Qi’s meaning. “Qiong Qi said that person belongs to it…”

Zhi Wenzi. “…”

Realization dawned on Mingshi Yin immediately. He pointed at the cultivator in the flying chariot and said, “No wonder Doggy was running around a few days ago. As it turns out, you seduced my dog!”

The cultivator’s face flushed red in embarrassment, and his expression was incredibly unsightly. Nevertheless, he waved his hand and denied vehemently, “No, no, no, I was just passing by. When did I seduce it?”

“…”

A heated discussion broke out in the Zhao Residence for a moment.

Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi frowned, thinking that their subordinate was really a good-for-nothing.

Zhao Yu seized the chance and asked, “Lord Zhi, this is irrefutable evidence. How do you plan to explain this?”

Zhi Wenzi said, “It’s true that he came to Zhao Residence. However, there was an abnormal surge of vitality energy above the Zhao Residence that day. Hence, I ordered my man to have a look. He was not the only one around that day. Many cultivators were attracted by the commotion as well. If you don’t believe me, you can ask any cultivator in Xiangyang. That aside…” He trailed off before he continued to say with a smile, “That young man wasn’t in the Zhao Residence the night General Xi died.”

Mingshi Yin said, “You have a glib tongue. It’s a pity my Seventh Junior Brother isn’t here. Otherwise, you’d have to stand back…”

Zhi Wenzi maintained the smile on his face as he said, “You want evidence? I’ll show you the evidence. Bring it up.”

Then, two cultivators carried a stretcher out of the flying chariot and landed in the Zhao Residence main courtyard. Then, they removed the white cloth covering the stretcher, revealing Xi Qishu’s corpse.

Little Yuan’er only glanced at it and was startled. She bent over and made a vomiting gesture before she pulled Conch to the side and said, “So disgusting! These people are really annoying! Let’s go look for master!”

“Alright.”

The two young women hurriedly made their way to the back of Zhao Residence.

The others did not pay attention to the two young women and looked at the corpse instead.

Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai lived their lives on the edge of a knife all year round and had seen many corpses in their lives. Hence, they were unfazed by Xi Qishu’s corpse.

When Yu Shangrong looked at the miserable state of Xi Qishu’s corpse, he was reminded of how his Fourth Junior Brother had gone crazy that night.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu frowned. He had a good relationship with Xi Qishu and had addressed each other as brothers in the past. Who knew the next time they met, Xi Qishu had already died? Nevertheless, he was not saddened by Xi Qishu’s death. On the contrary, he was angry.

Not only did Xi Qishu manipulate him with the help of everyone in the Zhao Residence, but due to Xi Qishu’s manipulations, he had chased away many innocent attendants and servants. Apart from that Zhao Yu was also angered by the Emperor’s Gemini lack of respect. Their action of bringing the corpse into his residence without asking for his opinion was an insult.

“Zhi Wenzi, what do you mean by this?” Zhao Yu’s expression was incredibly grave as he addressed Zhi Wenzi by his name. At this time, he no longer cared about etiquette. Since they did not respect, why should he show them respect?

Zhi Wenzi only said one word, “Evidence.”

“If you don’t explain this clearly…” Zhao Yu choked on his words. He really did not know how to deal with Zhi Wenzi. What could he threaten Zhi Wenzi with? Zhi Wenzi had the support of the emperor of Great Qin, but whose support did he have?

Yu Shangrong glanced at Zhao Yu before he turned to look at Zhi Wenzi with a smile and said, “Regardless of if Zhi Wenzi explains himself or not, it’s irrefutable that he has humiliated and disrespected you. Those who humiliate others should be humiliated as well. Those who offend their superiors should be punished as well…”

Zhi Wenzi. “…”

Zhi Wuzi was enraged by these words. He said fiercely, “How dare you speak when you played a part in the murder as well!”

Yu Shangrong did not seem flustered by the accusations. Instead, he smiled and asked, “So? Do you want to kill me?”

“Isn’t it easy to do so?” Zhi Wuzi retorted.

“Alright then.” Yu Shangrong smiled faintly as he tapped his toes lightly on the ground.

“Second Senior Brother!”

“Mr. Second!”

No one expected Yu Shangrong would make a move. His movements were nimble as he flew into the air. Before he came to a stop, the Longevity Sword unsheathed itself and flew into his hand.

Zhi Wuzi had always been direct and fond of battles. When he saw Yu Shangrong making a move, not only was he unafraid, but he was very excited as well. He rushed forward without any hesitation to meet Yu Shangrong.

Yu Shangrong lifted his hand and used Return and Enter Three Souls. Three figures attacked from the left, right, and center.

Zi Wuzi’s eyes flashed as he shouted, “Petty tricks! Get lost!”

Zi Wuzi unleashed energy seals that shot out in all directions.

However, when the energy seal struck Yu Shangrong, they passed through his body harmlessly. There was no effect at all.

“Huh?”

Yu Shangrong’s three figures merged into one before he flashed toward Zhi Wuzi, brandishing his sword. His momentum was like that of a mountain, and the speed of his movements was reminiscent of lightning.

Zhi Wuzi was taken back and instinctively dodged. However, he soon discovered that his opponent’s speed was increasing as though his opponent had been injected with some speed serum.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Energy swords struck at Zhi Wuzi while Yu Shangrong brought the Longevity Sword down on Zhi Wuzi.

Zhi Wuzi who had just caught his breath raised his hand, trying to catch the Longevity Sword.

Meanwhile, when Zhi Wenzi noticed the ten golden lights that seemed as sharp as knives following closely behind the Longevity Sword, he shouted, “Dodge!”

Swoosh!

Zhi Wenzi reacted quickly and launched an energy seal to pull Zhi Wuzi back.

A loud tearing noise rang in the air.

Alas, they had underestimated the length of the energy swords. A huge tear that spanned from the top to the bottom appeared on Zhi Wuzi’s robe.

Zhi Wuzi, who had retreated a few meters, looked down at his chest. He saw a thin line of blood. After a few breaths, drops of blood seeped out of the thin line and slid down. He pressed his hand against the wound, quickly healing it.

Swoosh!

The Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard at this moment.

Yu Shangrong smiled as he looked at Zhi Wuzi and said, “Your skills are rather mediocre…”

“…”

With Zhi Wuzi’s temper, he naturally could not tolerate these provocative words. However, he forcefully suppressed his anger when he remembered that he had promised his brother that he would not act rashly before they came to this place. Moreover, with the emperor’s legendary troops at their backs, there was no need for him to act today.

At this moment, Zhi Wenzi said frostily, “So, you’re from the golden lotus domain.”

“You’re from the golden lotus domain; how dare you behave atrociously in the green lotus domain?”

In the cultivation world, it was no secret that the overall strength of the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain was very weak. There were even cultivators from the green lotus domain, who were below the stage of a Venerable Master, who boldly snuck to the other domains. However, they did not dare show their avatars or use their energies. After all, if they were discovered by the Equalizers, they would undoubtedly die. There were many such cases in the long course of history.

The Red Line prohibited them from acting rashly. However, there were also people like the Free Men who underwent rigorous training and disregarded life and death, living life on the edge. Although they had the freedom to travel between the domains, they were also constantly in danger.

At this time, a slightly surprised expression appeared on Zou Ping’s face. However, it was quickly replaced with a smile. “They’re friends from the golden lotus domain, don’t be in a hurry to make a move. Did they really kill General Xi?”

Zhi Wenzi turned to look at Zou Ping. Based on Zou Ping’s expression, he could tell Zou Ping was not going to act rashly without a good reason. Hence, he said, “This is the evidence.”

Zhi Wenzi waved his hand, sending out a powder-like substance toward Xi Qishu’s corpse.

When the powder-like substance made contact with Xi Qishu’s corpse, it turned into specks of light. The specks of light were dazzling; they were a stark contrast against the corpse.

The others watched curiously. They did not know what Zhi Wenzi was planning to do.

The specks of light flew up before they flew toward Mingshi Yin and Yu Shangrong.

Mingshi Yin waved his hand, easily getting rid of the specks of light.

On the other hand, Yu Shangrong’s protective energy easily repelled the specks of light.

Despite their different methods, the outcome was the same; they were untouched by the specks of light.

Mingshi Yin and Yu Shangrong felt slightly displeased. After all, the specks of light that had touched the corpse were filthy.

Perhaps, Zhi Wenzi had been used to being in a high position, he had expected that as long as he used some tricks, others would accept it without any objections. After he saw the reaction from the specks of light, he laughed. Then, he pointed at Xi Qishu’s corpse and said, “What do you think?”

“Qi orb’s powder?” Zou Ping frowned. He was surprised at Zhi Wenzi’s willingness to use such a precious item. That thing was not cheap, after all.

“Indeed, it’s the Qi orb’s powder. I’m sure General Zou is aware of its uses. It is able to accurately capture residual energy. As long as someone touched General Xi, their residual energies will definitely be captured by the Qi orb’s powder,” Zhi Wenzi said.

Upon hearing these, the cavalrymen sitting atop the warhorses were raring to go, filled with the urge to swoop down.

However…

Mingshi Yin said disapprovingly, “Nonsense. Zhao Yu has also touched him; you’ve also touched him. Why didn’t it capture the residual energies then?”

“You don’t understand the Qi orb’s powder. The facts are clear. There’s no need for you to quibble,” Zhi Wenzi said. He knew now that the person in front of him was a scoundrel. It was useless to use logic to reason with a scoundrel.

At this moment, Zhao Yu said loudly, “Alright. I want to see who dares to make a move!”

Following that, Zhao Yu held up a dazzling golden token in his hand.

Zou Ping, Zhi Wenzi, and Zhi Wuzi frowned immediately.

“The emperor’s golden token?”

Upon seeing the golden token, no one dared to move.

Zhao Yu continued to say loudly, “You have a discerning eye. I order all of you to get lost!”
