Chapter 1162: The Poisoned King Zhongqing
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric
Chen Zhe was the person who revealed the intelligence from Zhang Yinqiu to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, causing the latter to nearly be unable to return from the Qiu Wu Palace . A person like him should be deeply condemned by the Master Teacher Pavilion, and yet, Principal Zhang was proposing to offer the highest of compliments to him?
This was too bizarre!
On the other hand, seeing that Wu shi didn't comprehend what he was driving at, Zhang Xuan shook his head and explained, "At this point, Chen Zhe's crimes are only known to a handful within the Master Teacher Pavilion . This is actually disadvantageous to us . In order to officially indict Chen Zhe of a crime and justify his arrest, we'll need to convince the entire Master Teacher Pavilion of our case, and that would require more evidence than just Old Principal Zhang Yinqiu's testimony . However, that is one thing that we are lacking at the moment . If we were to disregard that and forcefully pin an accusation on Chen Zhe, it will appear as if we are trying to conceal our depraved actions instead . On top of that, the fact that Chen Zhe has even passed away in the Master Teacher Pavilion plays against us as well . Think about it, we have captured Chen Zhe, but Chen Zhe ended up dying in captivity . What do you think the others would think about the matter?"
"This…" Wu shi fell silent .
It was normal for others to sympathize with the weak, but whether the weak was truly weak or not was often one thing that couldn't be clearly seen on the surface .
If they were to really attempt to pin a crime on Chen Zhe, as long as someone were to work behind their backs and fabricate a story to accuse Wu shi of abusing his authority to deal with Chen Zhe, the common populace would be unable to discern which point of view was true . In such situations, the tendency was for them to naturally sympathize with the victim, Chen Zhe .
By then, the tables would be turned . Their advantageous situation would turn into a deeply disadvantageous one in an instant .
"On the other hand, if we were to declare that he has died and bestow his family with huge riches for the matter, the other party might think that news has been leaked and panic . By then . . . the other party might very well do something that would give themselves away . As long as we can lure the other party out, the rest would be simple . As for Chen Zhe, it wouldn't be too late to indict him of his crime then . " Zhang Xuan said .
"I see…" Wu shi came to a realization .
That was indeed the best plan they had at the moment .
Not only would it resolve the adverse effects brought about by Chen Zhe's death, it could also potentially bait the other party out . Truly two birds in a stone .
"I'll have it done now!" Nodding, Wu shi quickly turned to the 6-star master teacher beside him to issue instructions .
"What else should we do?" After making arrangements, Wu shi asked once more .
"For the time being, this should be enough . Tonight, we'll still be attending the Appraisal Convention that you spoke about . . . Don't worry, we have already placed the bait dangling before them . Now, we just have to wait to hook something up . " Zhang Xuan smiled .
Wu shi nodded before falling silent .
After leaving Chen Zhe's cell, Zhang Xuan headed straight for the Master Teacher Pavilion's library .
With Wu shi's identity token in his hand, he was qualified to access the Saint 3-dan and Saint 4-dan cultivation techniques in there . In less than two hours, he had already collected everything into his Library of Heaven's Path .
After that was done, he took out the books which Emperor Chu Tianxing had given him and collected them into his Library of Heaven's Path too .
Compile!
The Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and two new books materialized before Zhang Xuan's eyes .
They were the Saint 3-dan and Saint 4-dan Heaven's Path Divine Art .
Swiftly browsing through them, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement .
"They have both reached the level of Heaven's Path, I can cultivate them straight now!"
This seemed to be the first time he had collected the Heaven's Path Divine Art for two realms in advance . With these two, he would be able to make a breakthrough on the spot to Saint 4-dan Primordial Spirit realm!
"However, the sky seems to be getting dark . I should first head over to the Appraisal Convention with Wu shi before cultivating…"
Zhang Xuan glanced out of the windows and saw that the sun had already set . The Appraisal Convention that Wu shi had mentioned previously should be starting any time soon, so he couldn't afford to spend any time on cultivation for the time being . Thus, he stretched his back lazily and walked out of the library .
In any case, everything would be simple once he had the required cultivation techniques . At most, it would only take him two hours or so, or at the very worst, four hours . . . Either way, he could have it done very quickly .
Besides, there was no such thing as a cultivation bottleneck to him . Once he cultivated, the technique would surely reach the mastery of Consummation .
Thus, for the time being, it was more imperative for him to bring all of his supporting occupations to 7-star and become a 7-star master teacher first .
"Principal Zhang, let's set forth!" Wu shi said with a smile upon seeing Zhang Xuan walking towards him .
After which, the duo headed out together .
. . .
While Zhang Xuan and Wu shi were heading to the Appraisal Convention, in a vast hall in the royal palace . . .
"Damn it, damn it!"
King Zhongqing paced around the room as he clenched his teeth tightly in fury . Hatred burned within his eyes like raging inferno, as if they would burn down everything in its sight .
"Enough! You sure have gotten brazen to attempt to make a move against a 6-star master teacher without making ample preparations!" Chu Tianxing harrumphed coldly .
"Your Majesty, I…" King Zhongqing quickly clasped his fist to explain himself .
"Forget it, you don't have to explain anything to me . Just learn from this lesson and make sure that you never commit it in the future . Know that it took me a heavy price to bail you out!" Chu Tianxing waved his hand impatiently .
"I apologize for my inept . " King Zhongqing lowered his head and said .
"Alright, that's enough of that . For the next few days, you should remain in my royal palace to cultivate and reflect on where you have gone wrong . During this timing, you can't afford to have anyone finding any more handle on you, or else no one will be able to save you!" Chu Tianxing instructed .
"Yes!" King Zhongqing nodded . "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any more problems . The main issue at hand lies with that Zhang Xuan, he really isn't an easy fellow to deal with . Furthermore, his cultivation is much higher than we have previously anticipated…" As King Zhongqing spoke about Zhang Xuan, he couldn't help but grit his teeth furiously . However, as soon as he said those words, his face suddenly paled, and his body began shaking uncontrollably .
"This is bad…" King Zhongqing narrowed his eyes as goosebumps rose all over his body .
"What's wrong?" Chu Tianxing frowned .
"I-I have been poisoned! Pu!" King Zhongqing's body began convulsing non-stop, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth . He felt as if all of his organs were about to shatter anytime soon .
"Poisoned? How did you get poisoned?" Chu Tianxing's eyes widened in alarm .
King Zhingqing had been beside him for the last few minutes, so how could he be suddenly poisoned without any warning?
"I have no idea either!"
