Chapter 740: Spy Among Us (2)

740 Spy Among Us (2)

Although he spoke righteously, his hand was already reaching for the other party’s waist pouch.

“I have a clear conscience. It’s fine as long as we can resolve the misunderstanding.”

Marquis Yamen also appeared very calm.

He reached out to undo his belt and took the initiative to hand over the spatial bag for inspection.

However, right when Jiang Li’s palm was about to touch the bag, both sides actually attacked at the same time.

A shock wave from the explosion swept through the entire hall, destroying the round table in the middle of everyone, causing the scene to become chaotic.

“Marquis Yamen, you really hid your strength well!”

The dust could not block the vision of many experts.

In the center of the impact, the Golden Duke raised a sun fireball and pressed it towards the other party.

All the nobles could tell that he did not hold back at all.

It was daytime now. The power of the Golden Duke’s sun was augmented by the scorching sun in the sky.

In terms of frontal attacks, even among the Grand Dukes, they were outstanding.

However, Marquis Yamen, who should have been a level weaker, did not take a step back under such an attack.

A layer of yellow light wall blocked Jiang Li’s Merciless Sun. There was not even a ripple on it.

From the looks of it, it was far from touching the limit of his defense.

“He’s the spy. Everyone, capture him together!”

Hiding such exaggerated strength at such a critical moment naturally attracted the suspicion of the other nobles.

There must be something hidden in his waist pouch.

No matter what, he had to capture this person and interrogate him first.

“Yamen! Put away your ability and surrender. Investigate this matter clearly. We won’t wrong you.”

The other nobles approached and wanted to surround him.

Marquis Yamen also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully. The things in his waist pouch could not be exposed, so it was impossible for him to hand it over.

Immediately, the yellow light swept up Jiang Li’s Merciless Sun and smashed towards the other Armored Trolls not far away.

The sun fireball exploded, blocking the experts who surrounded him. Marquis Yamen took the opportunity to escape.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, had lingering fears. If he had not retreated quickly earlier, the yellow light might have swept him in as well.

He originally only wanted to test it out, but he did not expect a big fish to really jump out.

More than twenty Grand Dukes immediately chased after them and fought above the Armored Troll Court.

This exaggerated lineup could easily destroy the cultivation world of the Eastern Region more than ten times without the power of chaos in the Asura World.

Logically speaking, even the Armored Troll Queen would have to retreat if she encountered it.

However, what was surprising was that the siege of such a top expert was unable to capture this mysterious Marquis Yamen.

Or perhaps, those hidden nobles would band together and call Jiang Li a spy.

If he opened his mouth, he might not be able to win against more than ten people.

It would not be good if he accidentally exposed himself now.

Therefore, he did not push his luck and left after taking advantage of the situation.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and grabbed the pearl.

It was the core that controlled the entire Holy City.

For thousands of years, they had been a pair.

One was in the Queen’s hands, and the other was in Jiang Li’s hands. It should have been held by the Prime Minister.

If Jiang Li took this thing away, even if he obtained the temporary command of the Armored Troll Court, as the Golden Duke who was the Queen’s younger brother and had both extraordinary combat strength and high status, no one would object to his authority.

They returned to the throne room. The mess inside had already been cleaned up.

“Everyone, it’s already clear that Marquis Yamen is the spy.”

“As long as we find him, there will be a way to deal with these monsters.”

“Grand Duke Doppler, can your prophecy ability find traces of him?”

“Duke Seton, please lead the team to Marquis Yamen’s territory to search.”

“Before finding the culprit, please take turns to delay the spread of the flesh calamity...”

“I’ll send people to prioritize the operation of the farms in your territories. Put the humans inside into the Royal Farm to be managed uniformly.”

This time, Jiang Li sat at the front and issued orders.

After all, he was the Great Mountain Alliance Leader and the Fengdu City Lord. He was quite comfortable issuing orders.

However, the first few were fine.

That was until they had a disagreement about the order to collectivize the farms.

The nobles who had already lost their territory naturally had no objections. They really wanted to redistribute the Nourishments now.

This was because there was nothing left in their hands.

However, the nobles who had not suffered any damage to their farms were quite dissatisfied.

Who would be willing to give up their food?

In order to ensure that his orders were carried out smoothly, Jiang Li could only continue.

“Everyone can send people to count the number of people. The food needed for the nobles whose territory has been destroyed will be handled by the Royal Farm.”

“The Royal Farm has a large amount of wartime reserves. It can definitely satisfy all your needs.”

“When the flesh calamity ends, everyone can bring back their Nourishment and rebuild the farms. We will also send people to build the latest farms for you.”

“The Royal Court will also distribute a hundred special-grade Nourishment seeds to each farm so that you can produce special-grade seeds in your own farms in the future!”

He made a promise using the Royal Court’s name without any hesitation.

In any case, he was not the one who needed to fulfill it.
