"Palace Master Ling, I am following orders to oversee this matter, you do not need to worry!" Inspector Bai He said coldly.
Ling Xiaotian's expression was calm, "In my sub palace, my vice palace masters killed each other. Do you think I will not interfere?"
"Hehe …" Inspector Bai He let out a fake smile, "You can't even control your own vice palace masters, why would you have the face to interfere?"
In other words, Ling Xiaotian was useless, allowing his subordinates to kill each other, resulting in losses.
Ling Xiaotian only smiled without saying a word, wiping his face.
Su Yu looked on from the side, feeling apologetic.
Ling Xiaotian was busy every day, overseeing the affairs of the north continent's sub palace. However, he was delayed because of Su Yu, and was mocked because of Su Yu.
"Inspector Bai He, if you have the time to talk about others, you should first take care of your subordinates." Su Yu mocked.
Whoosh — —
Two sharp gazes looked as if they wanted to pierce through Su Yu.
Lowering his eyelids, Inspector Bai He sat high up in the hall, looking down at Su Yu, speaking slowly: "Did I allow a lowly deputy palace master like you to speak?"
In his eyes, Su Yu's status was not worth mentioning.
"Since you want to speak, let me ask you, do you admit to your crimes?" Inspector Bai He looked down on Su Yu, questioning him.
Su Yu laughed silently. Inspector Bai He was following orders to investigate, but before there was any conclusion, he was questioning Su Yu if he admitted to his crimes?
Shaking his head, Su Yu said, "Inspector, where did my crimes come from?"
Inspector Bai He let out a cold laugh, "You still want to quibble at this point? Xue Yao and Vice Palace Master Feng Qing have already confessed that you killed him! Now that you are trying to deny it, I cannot compliment your character! "
Had the two of them confessed? Su Yu sighed.
In front of the empire, they were unable to maintain their bottom line and were forced to confess.
"Oh? Why was Zang Jian killed? How did the two of them confess? "Su Yu was calm, not panicking.
Inspector Bai He's expression turned rigid, quickly concealing his emotions, laughing coldly, "Why he was killed has nothing to do with this case, as long as you admit that you killed him!"
"Looks like you have admitted to your crimes. Since that is the case, kneel and submit!"
With just a few words, he had sentenced Su Yu to death!
He didn't ask about anything that was printed on it.
"Haha, Inspector Bai He, I am not dead yet!" Ling Xiaotian did not bat an eyelid as he laughed lightly.
However, everyone could hear the anger in his voice.
Inspector Bai He was unmoved, "The evidence is conclusive, what is there to argue about? According to the Dynasty's laws, he should be beheaded! "
Ling Xiaotian held a teacup in his hand and casually said, "Inspector Bai He, if you insist on acting willfully and treating human lives as grass, I don't mind returning to the headquarters and asking the King of Darkness to be the judge."
The words' King of Darkness' was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the cold and arrogant Inspector Bai He's expression to change.
As the Grand Temple Master, he had a chance to be summoned by the King of Darkness once a year. He would be instructed in his cultivation or receive some simple rewards as a reward for guarding the four sub-temples.
Apart from the Seven Lords of Darkness, the four Palace Masters were the only members of Dynasty who could approach the King of Darkness.
At that time, Ling Xiaotian would rather give up on guiding his cultivation and ask the Sovereign King to be the judge.
Once this case was exposed, no one in the world could save him.
His stiff expression gradually relaxed, his cold expression also becoming gentler, "Palace Master Ling, what are you saying? I am acting on orders and will naturally deal with it impartially, treating everyone equally."
"Just now, I was merely testing Palace Master Yin Yu's reaction, and I did it on purpose."
Hearing him try to smooth things over, Ling Xiaotian calmly said, "As long as Inspector Bai He is going to deal with it impartially, I will not interfere."
"Continue."
His attitude was as if he was ordering a subordinate.
However, Inspector Bai He had a guilty conscience and could only endure it.
His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Su Yu, "Speak, did you kill Zang Jian because you did not split the spoils evenly? Confess now and you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be punished severely! "
The other party was anxious to pin a crime on Su Yu, to the point of using such a method to lure him into a confession.
Su Yu let out a faint smile, "That is to say, whether or not I am guilty has not been determined?"
Inspector Bai He was furious, "We are now investigating the severity of your crime. Cooperate with us and fight for leniency."
If Su Yu cooperated with him, he would be the one to die faster!
"That is to say, my crime has not been determined!" Su Yu's smile was cold, "If that is the case, I would like to ask Inspector Bai He, if my crime has not been determined, is it reasonable for Leader Tie Mu to use my crime as a reason to kill me in front of everyone?"
Inspector Bai He raised his eyebrows, silently blaming Tie Mu. Tie Mu was too careless and allowed Su Yu to take advantage of the situation. If he were to return, he would definitely be punished.
Just as he was about to speak, Ling Xiaotian's eyes turned cold, "Oh? A red clothed guard offended his superior and tried to kill a vice palace master without any evidence? How daring! He should be executed for his crime! "
"Wait!" Inspector Bai He hurriedly said, "Leader Tie Mu is an upright person, upright and plainspoken. He would most likely threaten you verbally and would not dare to kill you!"
He then looked at Su Yu with a mocking smile, "The fact that you are standing here unscathed proves everything! If he were to kill you, do you think that you would be able to face me in court unscathed? "
Ling Xiaotian was silent. Indeed, Tie Mu might not dare to kill Su Yu.
"Upright and plainspoken, upright person?" Su Yu could not help but let out a laugh, "Would the upright person allow a bandit who brought disaster to his people to escape and remain indifferent? Would the upright and plainspoken person use his position to avenge a personal grudge and kill me? "
Looking at Inspector Bai He with a cold smile, Su Yu let out a laugh, "Why am I standing here unscathed? It is not that he does not dare to kill me, but that when he does, he does not kill me on the spot!"
What?
Not only was Inspector Bai He shocked, even Ling Xiaotian was shocked.
Tie Mu had a cultivation of Immortal Realm Level Three, while Su Yu was merely Immortal Realm Level One. How could he kill Tie Mu?
But he quickly understood.
The Yinyu Manor was Su Yu's territory. With precautions, it was not impossible for him to kill Tie Mu using numbers.
Slap — —
The handle in Inspector Bai He's hand was shattered.
His old face turned ugly, as if he was about to devour someone, "You killed him?"
Tie Mu had not returned for a few days, and Inspector Bai He had a bad premonition. Su Yu's words proved everything.
Su Yu laughed but did not speak.
"How dare you! You dare to kill a servant who is under orders? This Inspector will not forgive you! "Inspector Bai He was seething with anger.
How daring was he to kill Tie Mu? How could he look down on him, the inspector?
Su Yu said calmly, "Does that mean that Inspector Bai He thinks that a red clothed guard killing an innocent vice palace master in front of everyone is within the law?"
His words stunned Inspector Bai He. Sensing Ling Xiaotian's attention, he had an idea.
In front of everyone, he could not become a laughing stock.
Forcing himself to calm down, he said in a low voice, "According to the law, he should be executed, but how could you make the decision on your own..."
But Su Yu forcefully interrupted him, "Since he should be executed, may I ask, how could a mere red clothed guard be so daring? Did he receive an order from a superior? "
There was only one superior to Tie Mu, Inspector Bai He!
Ling Xiaotian's gaze was fierce, "Inspector Bai He, the vice palace masters are geniuses that the Empire of Darkness is grooming. You have guts to kill them!"
Inspector Bai He's expression turned serious. Even he did not dare bear such a heavy crime.
His dark expression changed, returning to his stern expression, "I am the inspector who supervises the world, every word and action represents the Empire of Darkness. I remember the laws of the Empire of Darkness, how could I do such a disgraceful thing!"
"I only ordered Tie Mu to bring you back for investigation, I did not order him to kill you! Based on my guess, since Tie Mu had a personal grudge against you, he must have been complying on the surface, using his position to take revenge! This matter has nothing to do with me! "
In no time at all, Inspector Bai He managed to put aside this matter.
Su Yu laughed calmly, "If that is the case, should Tie Mu be killed?"
The muscles on Inspector Bai He's mouth twitched, his heart suppressing the boundless hatred, but his expression was righteous, "Hmph! You dared to defy me on the surface, committing such a heinous crime, you deserve to die! Even if Palace Master Yin Yu does not punish you, I will personally execute you! "
As he swept his gaze past Su Yu, a cold murderous intent flashed past his eyes.
"Let's forget about Tie Mu's matter. Now, let's continue with Zang Jian's matter. Why did you kill him! Speak! "Inspector Bai He was overbearing, interrogating Su Yu, as though he wanted to convict Su Yu.
Su Yu's expression was calm, "This kind of person colluded with the enemy and killed his own people. He is ungrateful, of course he should be killed!"
Ling Xiaotian nodded, "En, tell me in detail."
He naturally knew the characters of the Ten Great Vice Palace Masters.
Following which, Su Yu told him everything that had happened.
Of course, he did not mention the relic. Xue Yao and Feng Qing also did not mention the relic. After all, the relic was not related to the case.
There was no need for them to seek trouble.
Knowing that Su Yu had saved Zang Jian twice, but was instead plotted against by Zang Jian!
Furthermore, he had purposely let the Second Head of the Black Water Pirates escape, plotting to kill Xue Yao and Feng Qing. Ling Xiaotian's expression turned cold, sighing after a while, "I am to blame for his death!"
"Back then, I was in a rush to create the Ten Great Vice Palace Masters. Hence, I focused on his talents, but neglected his character. I was unable to guide him in time. I am responsible for this!"
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, Inspector Bai He let out a cold laugh, "The two of you want to gloss over this matter?"
"Let me ask you, who can testify for what happened that day? Just because you say that Zang Jian is ungrateful, does that mean he is ungrateful? He is a dead man, he would not jump out to argue with you! "
Su Yu said, "Didn't you interrogate Xue Yao and Feng Qing? I believe you have already heard the same thing from them! "
"Hehe, the three of you share the same suspicion. Naturally, it is a tradition. Unless there is a fourth person to testify, the words of the three of you are not valid!"
A fourth person. Other than the three of them, how could there be a fourth person?
"If there is no fourth person, I have reason to believe that the three of you killed Zang Jian to silence him!" Inspector Bai He was overbearing, determined to get what he wanted.
If he did not take the opportunity to kill Su Yu, he would not be able to quell the hatred in his heart.
Su Yu's eyes turned cold. What nonsense!
With the situation at that time, how could there be a fourth person present?
To force Su Yu into a corner, it was clear that he wanted to kill Su Yu!
Ling Xiaotian creased his brows. Even though he knew Inspector Bai He's intentions, his words were not without reason.
Without a witness, the possibility of the three of them conspiring to kill Zang Jian still existed.
"Hehe, who said there is no fourth person? Isn't he right in front of you? "But at this moment, a mocking voice came from outside the loft.
Inspector Bai He looked over, coldly saying, "Who are you?"
