Xianyang City, Qingyuan Hall!
"I, Qin Tianze, swear by the Rules of Heaven that I have nothing to do with the assassination attempt that happened at the Yu Clan in Ping Yang City nine days ago. If I lie, I will be killed by lightning!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Tianze raised his left hand and swore by the Rules of Heaven without hesitation in the face of Yu Haoran's outrageous request.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Yu Haoran was touched by Qin Tianze's support. He quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.
"You and I are already family. You don't have to be so polite," Qin Tianze waved his hand and said.
"May I know who you are?"
Yu Haoran scanned the hall and finally looked at a young man who had just broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm and was about the same age as him.
"My name is Xing Bin and I am from the Xing Clan in Xianyang City. I am the third son of the Clan Leader and I am currently a student of the National Academy," the young man introduced himself nervously in the face of Yu Haoran's gentle interrogation.
"Brother Xing, can you swear by the Rules of Heaven that you have nothing to do with the assassination attempt that happened at the Yu Clan in Ping Yang City nine days ago?" Yu Haoran asked sincerely.
"I, Xing Bin, swear by the Rules of Heaven that I have nothing to do with the assassination attempt that happened at the Yu Clan in Ping Yang City nine days ago. If I lie, I will be killed by lightning!"
Xing Bin did not hesitate in the face of Yu Haoran's sincere request and immediately repeated the oath that Qin Tianze had just made.
"Thank you, Brother Xing!"
Yu Haoran was satisfied with Xing Bin's straightforward support and could not help but invite him.
"Brother Xing, if you have nothing else to do, please stay for a cup of Baihuaxiang's wedding wine before you leave!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Prince Consort," Yu Haoran's invitation made Xing Bin so excited that he almost knelt down to thank him.
Just a cup of Baihuaxiang's wine could make Meng Zhengkai, who had reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, improve by leaps and bounds. What about him, who had just broken through to the Martial Ancestor Realm?
Wouldn't he be able to reach the peak of the ninth grade of the Martial Great Master Realm? He might even be able to reach the Martial King Realm.
Just by swearing on the rules of the Heavenly Dao, Xing Bin was able to stay and taste the Hundred Flowers Fragrance wine. The treatment that Xing Bin received just now immediately attracted the attention of all the guests present.
Therefore, in the face of Yu Haoran's gaze, everyone's eyes revealed a look of anticipation, hoping that they would be chosen to make the oath.
However, to their disappointment, Yu Haoran's gaze finally stopped on Princess Ru Ling.
"I, Princess Ruling, swear by the rules of the Heavenly Dao that I have nothing to do with the assassination attempt that took place at the Yu Clan in Ping Yang City nine days ago. If I lie, may divine lightning strike me!"
There was no need for Yu Haoran to ask. Princess Ru Ling immediately raised her hand and swore.
Of course, Princess Ling didn't make such a promise because she wanted the Hundred Flowers Fragrance wine.
With her relationship with Qin Lingfei, she could even get half a kilogram of Potpourri Fragrance. A mere glass of Potpourri Fragrance wine was not enough to move her.
The reason why she swore so cooperatively was entirely out of consideration for Meng Yun.
As long as she swore by the rules of the Heavenly Dao with a clear conscience, she would be able to prove her innocence and gain the support and sympathy of most of the people present.
At that time, she could use this as an excuse to get more Hundred Flowers Fragrance wine from Yu Haoran and Qin Lingfei.
She could even get Yu Haoran to personally refine some of the top pills she needed.
After Princess Ru Ling swore, Yu Haoran looked at Meng Yun and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"Meng Yun, it's your turn!"
"On what basis!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Meng Yun questioned Yu Haoran with a dark expression.
"On what basis!"
Yu Haoran replied with a cold smile.
"On the basis of the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove your innocence."
"Yu Haoran, I don't need the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove my innocence. I only believe in evidence that can be seen and heard." Meng Yun coldly looked at Yu Haoran and flatly refused.
Meng Yun's firm refusal caused the guests to gradually come to their senses.
As long as he swore by the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove that he had nothing to do with the assassination nine days ago, not only would he be able to prove his innocence, he would also have the opportunity to taste Potpourri Fragrance wine.
Such an opportunity was something all the guests could only wish for, but Meng Yun's vehement refusal meant something.
It meant that he had a guilty conscience and that the assassination attempt on Yu Haoran nine days ago was inextricably linked to him.
"Little Yun, as the person with the highest authority in the Meng Clan, I order you to immediately swear by the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove your innocence." Meng Zhengkai also felt that Meng Yun had a guilty conscience. He immediately took out a bronze token and ordered Meng Yun.
"Old Ancestor, do you dare to swear by the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove that you had nothing to do with the assassination nine days ago?" Meng Yun didn't panic in the slightest when facing Meng Zhengkai's oppressive order.
"You …!"
Facing Meng Yun's counterattack, Meng Zhengkai suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"Meng Yun, as long as you have a little understanding of the Martial Revered Realm, you will know that a quasi-Martial Revered Realm expert can't easily touch the rules of the Heavenly Dao due to the influence of the Triple Calamity."
Seeing Meng Zhengkai being rendered speechless by the counterattack, Yu Haoran immediately shook his head in disappointment and defended him.
"You actually used the rules of the Heavenly Dao to frame your own Old Ancestor, the true guardian of the Meng Clan. Now I even doubt whether you are a member of the Meng Clan."
Yu Haoran's question made Meng Zhengkai's face instantly turn gloomy. At the same time, the faces of the Meng Clan's upper echelons also changed.
Meng Xiang, the head of the Meng Clan, instantly appeared beside Meng Zhengkai. He took out an identical bronze token from his storage ring and ordered Meng Yun.
"Meng Yun, as the head of the Meng Clan, I now order you to swear by the rules of the Heavenly Dao to prove that you had nothing to do with the assassination nine days ago."
Seeing Meng Yun open his mouth to argue, Meng Xiang immediately raised his hand and swore.
"I, Meng Xiang, swear by the rules of the Heavenly Dao that I had nothing to do with the assassination that occurred in the Yu Clan of Ping Yang City nine days ago. If I lie, divine lightning will descend from the heavens and kill me!"
After swearing, Meng Xiang looked coldly at Meng Yun.
At the same time, several hundred Imperial Guards in silver armor, all of whom were Martial Sages, had already stealthily surrounded the entire Qingyuan Palace under the command of Manager Jiang.
Meng Yun was not only a disciple who was highly regarded by the Meng Clan, but he was also the chief of staff of the Iron Wolf Army, one of the Eight Great Armies of the Emperor Qin's Kingdom. He was also an important participant in the Qin Kingdom's war plan.
