Chapter 765 Deputy Governor, Please Correct! (2)

?

"What Xu Qing said is also what I thought. I've read that classified document 19."

"Actually, Brother Liangxiu wasn't the only one investigating. I was also investigating secretly. However, this matter is too big. I still have a little doubt. The County Governor's cultivation level is sky-high. Who could poison him unknowingly?"

"This matter concerns the cause of the County Governor's death. As for the County Governor, he's not only my colleague but also a close friend. He's also the hero of Fenghai County. I also hoped that his cause of death was accurately determined so that we could seek true justice and avenge him!"

"It was only when the war came to an end that I finally had some results and announced all of this. However, what Xu Qing said makes sense. We should let the human race in Fenghai County know the truth."

After the Deputy Governor finished speaking, he lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a chessboard appeared in the air.

There was an unfinished game on this chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces were fighting.

"This is the County Governor's chessboard. Other than the County Governor, there are also me, Brother Liangxiu, and Yao Tianyan who usually played on this board."

"Only the four of us have touched the chessboard."

The Deputy Governor's eyes were filled with reminiscence. He sighed softly and turned to cup his fists toward the Seventh Prince.

"I'll have to trouble Your Highness to use the imperial blood to manifest the life calamity like how we discovered the hidden poison back then."

The Seventh Prince was expressionless. After glancing at the Deputy Governor, he bit his fingertip. A drop of red blood fell from his fingertip and flew toward the chessboard.

That drop of blood contained an astonishing bloodline power, causing the bodies of all the humans to tremble. At the next moment, the drop of blood landed on the chessboard.

Immediately, the chessboard seemed to have its veil lifted and waves of black gas emitted from it. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the source of the black gas came from the chess pieces.

"This black gas is the poison of the Radiant Life Calamity. We can't see or sense it. It's the same for the County Governor. Only the bloodline of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, who unified the Wanggu Continent, has the power to make it reveal itself."

"The person who poisoned him used this chessboard."

As soon as the Deputy Governor spoke, the surroundings were in an uproar.

The authenticity of this scene was extremely intense.

As for the Deputy Governor, he felt bitter at this moment. He looked at the world with reluctance and spoke softly.

"Actually, as a deputy governor, I had planned to stand guard for one last time after taking over as the county governor. With the remaining years of my life, I intended to cultivate a successor from among the Deputy Palace Masters of the three palaces. Li Yunshan, you were my first choice."

With that, the Deputy Governor raised his hand and pressed it on the drop of blood that had not yet dissipated from the chessboard. Instantly, blood qi spread rapidly along his fingers, and wherever it passed, a thick black aura emerged from his body.

After the blood aura completely swept over, the Deputy Governor was covered in it, and black lines could be seen on his skin. His appearance… was very similar to the illusory scene before the County Governor died.

"Because I am poisoned too."

"I've touched the chess pieces on that chessboard more than once. I have been enduring it all along."I think you should take a look at

"Xu Qing, didn't you see my fatigue when you came to visit me once? I know very well that this poison can't be neutralized by medicines. That's why I told the servant that I won't take the medicine."

"The County Governor died and Brother Liangxiu died. I won't be able to live for long either. Only Yao Tianyan escaped. Who is the murderer?"

The Deputy Governor smiled bitterly.

As his words echoed, the black gas on his body was revealed. It was like millions of lightning bolts exploded in the clouds, shaking everyone.

Even Xu Qing's heart stirred greatly. His originally firm faith wavered slightly at this moment.

"Xu Qing, you're a good kid. What happened today further proves that you indeed have the heart and virtue worthy of the great emperor's recognition. Very good, very good," the Deputy Governor said softly with a gentle expression.

"Now, with your 100,000 feet long light, do you agree to let me become the county governor and protect you all from now on?"

Xu Qing remained silent.

This sentence was filled with benevolence in everyone's ears. Only the Seventh Prince, who was at the side, felt even more wary of this Deputy Governor.

This was because he understood that this was… trying to destroy the heart!

So what if you got 100,000 ft light in the Emperor's Heart Inquisition?

So what if you went against the prevailing trend?

'I didn't fly into a rage out of humiliation and attack, nor did I kill in exasperation. I am just trying to reason with you. After that… I want to hear you say the word 'yes'.'

With the hearts of the people, I'll kill your heart of 100,000 ft light.

The ground was silent as countless gazes looked at Xu Qing.

The captain's expression was a little sinister. Ning Yan shrunk his head and wariness appeared in his eyes. Qing Qiu's face was expressionless but she tightened her grip on her scythe.

In the crowd, the ordinary-looking person who had revealed pride toward Xu Qing frowned and stared at the Deputy Governor, emitting an unfriendly aura.

Under the platform, the masked General Blood Nightmare moved his right foot slightly, as though he was about to step forward…

At that moment, Xu Qing lifted his head and spoke softly.

"After the Palace Master died, I continued to investigate this matter because I think just finding evidence of morning glow doesn't mean that the cause of the old county governor's death was the Radiant Life Calamity Pill. Because the old county governor is half a step into the Soul Accumulation realm, it's too difficult to poison him."

Xu Qing's words caused many people to frown. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything the Deputy Governor had said earlier and didn't see the Deputy Governor's black aura. He continued to speak from where he had been interrupted earlier.

"I began to think about how I could poison the old county governor silently. I'm good at the Dao of Medicine but I didn't have an answer. However, I thought of the smell of osmanthus in the wish box."
