Chapter 874: Slapping Jiu Xuanji in the Imperial Court

His heart fell into an abyss as he thought about what had happened last night. All the demons and evil cultivators had been killed, and nothing major had happened. Why was His Majesty angry?

Before he could think further, Li Yuliang smacked his forehead with two fingers and almost spat on his face. He was still the same as before, enduring the pain obediently. However, as the lord of the True Dragon Palace, his cultivation base was monstrous, his divine arts were powerful, and he wielded supreme authority. If he were to fart, the entire Grand Xia Empire would be shaken. In front of all the officials, he was humiliated like this. His heart was filled with anger as he roared crazily like a vicious dog. After this matter, if this lord didn’t return the favor ten or twenty times over, he would take the same surname as you!

“Not long ago, I received news that the True Dragon Palace secretly killed Lei Daoyuan, the Vice Dean of the outer court of Evergreen Academy!” Li Yuliang explained.

It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his body. Jiu Xuanji’s anger temporarily subsided. His entire body was cold from the inside out. Everything he didn’t understand was clear. No wonder the Emperor’s gaze was so cold. No wonder Li Yuliang dared to break the rules and slap him.

But, but he didn’t receive any news. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be in such a passive position.

However, since he dared to say it in court, it was most likely true. If he dared to lie, he did not need to do it himself. Zhang Ronghua’s butcher knife was still hanging above him, ready to cut down at any time and burn a second fire.

Li Yuliang seemed to know that Jiu Xuanji wouldn’t give up. He was definitely a master in keeping the matter in suspense. His angry voice sounded again.” Vice Dean Lei died under the True Dragon Palace’s inherited skill, the True Dragon Manifestation Fist. Other than his head, the rest of his body was blown up.”

He could bear any kind of blame, but he could not bear this one. It was too big! If not, it would not be a big deal. They might even be surrounded by the Evergreen Academy. They were not afraid of fighting one on one, not even the Palace Lord. However, if they attacked together, they would die even if they had ten lives.

“Nonsense!” Jiu Xuanji retorted. I have never given such an order to kill Vice Dean Lei.”

Li Yuliang mocked,” Some time ago, when Xiao Guyue was killed, the True Dragon Palace held a grudge against him. They thought that it was Vice Principal Lei who did it, so they ordered people to watch him in secret. Last night, the opportunity appeared, and the capital was in chaos, so they killed him!”

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want! If you say that I did it, then show us strong evidence. Don’t just rely on the True Dragon Manifestation Fist to make us take the blame?”

“I’ll let you die knowing what’s going on,” Li Yuliang said as if he was looking at a clown.

This melon was too big.

All the officials were shocked. They had not received any news. If Li Yuliang had not mentioned it, they would not have known that Lei Daoyuan had been killed. This was a big shot with many students and was even a high-ranking official of Changqing Academy. Yet, he had died in such a cowardly manner.

Zhang Ronghua was also quite surprised. How chaotic was Beijing last night? Why did so many people die? From the looks of it, there was probably one or even two masterminds behind all of this.

Thinking about it, it made sense. He had killed three experts, including a Fire Qilin, Granny Burier, and Desolate. Not counting Ghostface Yama and the others, they were just clowns.

Li Yuliang’s voice rang out again.” First, you’re in charge of the Stone Village case. You’ve caught so many demons and ghosts, but you haven’t found the murderer yet. With the True Dragon Palace’s power, although there were many demons last night, how can you suppress them?”

Jiu Xuanji was speechless. He couldn’t deny this!

” Secondly, if the True Dragon Manifestation Fist is leaked and falls into the hands of the evildoers, the entry requirements for this technique are very high, and it will become more and more difficult to cultivate as one goes further. Judging from the scene, the remaining fist intent has already reached the acme of perfection in the fourth realm. Even if one is talented, without ten or twenty years of hard work, how can one cultivate this fist technique to a profound realm?”

Jiu Xuanji couldn’t refute. Li Yuliang was right. He also knew this skill, and his realm was very high. He had put in a lot of effort. If he wasn’t from the True Dragon Palace, he wouldn’t have spent so much time cultivating even if he had the True Dragon Manifestation Fist.

“Thirdly, the True Dragon Palace has always held a grudge against Xiao Guyue’s death! It might not make sense if you take it alone, but if you put it together, the culprit must be the True Dragon Palace!”

He turned around.

Li Yuliang said respectfully,” Jiu Xuanji abused his power, used his official position to avenge his personal grudge, and connived at the demons to cause chaos in the capital. I propose that he be removed from his official position and his cultivation be crippled. He should be locked up in the Nether Prison and burned by the Nether Fire to repent for his sins!”

His men followed closely behind and all of them stepped out to echo.

The people of Changqing Academy in the imperial court had all stepped down. Their outer court’s vice dean had been killed. There had to be an explanation for this!

In addition, the ministers whose properties had been destroyed also stood up.

He was like a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

He looked into his eyes.

No one in the royal court stood up to speak up for him. He was either hanging high or watching the show. Jiu Xuanji’s heart turned cold. If he really did as Li Yuliang said, his life would be over!

Without his cultivation and power, his former political enemies immediately jumped out to take revenge. As long as they had anything to do with him, none of them wanted to escape.

Hurriedly stepping out, thump! Kneeling on the ground, he straightened his back and faced Emperor Xia’s scrutinizing gaze. He did not dodge at all.” I know that the demons have wreaked havoc in the capital and caused some losses, so the blame cannot be shirked. However, the murderer of Stone Village has been caught. Those great demons who rebelled last night have been killed or imprisoned in Nether Prison! Lei Daoyuan’s death wasn’t the doing of the True Dragon Palace, please help me, Your Majesty!”

Bang!

The sound was very loud.

The corners of everyone’s eyes fell upon the Xia Emperor.

Zhang Ronghua also looked over, wanting to see how His Majesty would deal with him.

Jiu Xuanji resisted? The palace exploded to kill the emperor?

Any abnormal movements would be instantly suppressed. He could sense that when Li Yuliang slapped him, an aura had locked onto him.

Other than that.

Wei Shang glared at him, his eyes narrowed. True essence had already gathered in his palm under his sleeve, ready to kill or capture him at any moment.

“Who was the murderer who massacred Stone Village?” the Xia Emperor’s majestic voice rang out.

Jiu Xuanji’s head was still pressed against the ground, and he was extremely respectful. It was not embarrassing for him to cower in front of Emperor Xia.” I captured a candle dragon last night. After interrogating him, I learned from him that this was the work of darkness!”

Zhang Ronghua lowered his head and wanted to laugh in his heart. It was clearly done by the Palace Master of the Extreme King, Chi Tianxing. Just as he had guessed, Jiu Xuanji had pushed out a person with enough power to take the blame. The Candle Dragon Clan was really unlucky to have been caught again.
