Bai Juyi and Bragging Simon, the two core elders of the Yuzhou Martial House, had actually clashed today.
The development of this matter had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Bragging Simon looked at Bai Juyi and said righteously, "The Yun family deliberately poisoned the victims, endangering the lives of so many victims. I am proficient in alchemy and have a righteous heart. Naturally, I cannot just stand by and watch. "
Hearing the words "righteous heart", Bai Juyi almost vomited.
Bai Juyi knew Bragging Simon's character better than anyone else. Bragging Simon was indeed proficient in alchemy, but he was most proficient in creating poisons.
There was an 80% to 90% chance that the poison used to frame the Yun family was personally developed by Bragging Simon.
He had allied with the Jiang, Long and Ye families to commit such a heinous crime. Yet, he still dared to claim that he had a righteous heart? What a joke!
Bai Juyi looked at Bragging Simon with disdain and said, "I believe that the Yun family was framed for this poisoning incident. No matter what, I will investigate this thoroughly and find out who the real culprit is! "
"Find out who the real culprit is?"
Jiang Shijian laughed coldly. "Right now, the lives of hundreds of victims are in danger. By the time you find out who the real culprit is, they will already be dead! Right now, we must prioritize the safety of the hundreds of victims! "
Just as Jiang Shijian finished speaking, Bragging Simon continued, "Before coming here, I had already checked the victims' bodies. The poison in their bodies is very complicated. Even I could not identify what poison it was. "
"If even Elder Bragging Simon could not identify the poison, I'm afraid no one in Yuzhou City can cure it. The lives of the hundreds of victims are in danger!" Jiang Shijian said, pretending to be worried.
Just as Jiang Shijian finished speaking, Leaf Dao-Denier continued, "In my opinion, the only way to save the lives of the hundreds of victims is to capture the Yun Family's villains, torture them, and force them to reveal the antidote."
Jiang Shijian nodded his head in agreement. "That is the only way. For the lives of the hundreds of victims, the Patrol Army is willing to shed blood!"
The few of them were putting on airs. They talked about saving the victims as a reason to capture the Yun family. They made them sound very noble.
Leafless and Jiang Shijian looked at each other and prepared to take action.
"Wait!"
Yun Xiaoyao suddenly stood up. "All of you are right. We should indeed prioritize the lives of the hundreds of victims."
"There is no need for you to torture confessions. Our Yun Sect's scholars are rushing over as fast as they can and will do their best to save the victims' lives."
Hearing Yun Xiaoyao's words, Bragging Simon sneered in disdain. "Patriarch Yun, stop putting on an act. Even I can't detect what poison it is. Is there anyone in Yuzhou City who can cure it? "
"If you didn't put the poison in yourself, how would you know how to detoxify it?"
Hearing Bragging Simon's words, the veins on Yun Xiaoyao's forehead bulged, his face contorted with rage.
Bragging Simon's words had forced the Yun family into a dead end.
If the Yun Family could cure this poison, then it meant that the poison had come from the Yun Family.
If the Yun Family could not detoxify the poison, hundreds of victims would die from the poison. The Yun Family would not be able to find the culprit behind the scenes, and they would not be able to extricate themselves from the responsibility.
He couldn't understand it, nor could he understand it!
Either way, he would die!
Just as the Yun Family was prepared to fight to the death, a calm voice of a youth suddenly rang out.
"Who says that no one in Yuzhou City can cure it?"
The moment the voice rang out, the entire scene fell into a miraculous silence.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the voice, looking at the youth who had squeezed through the crowd.
It was a youth dressed in black, with a skull sword hanging from his waist. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were as black as ink.
Seeing this youth, the expressions on the faces of the crowd varied, but the same two words appeared in their minds: Lin Yun!
Without a doubt, this youth who had appeared out of nowhere was Lin Yun.
The moment he saw Lin Yun, Bragging Simon's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Jiang Shijian, on the other hand, was shocked. He could not believe that Lin Yun was still alive.
If Lin Yun was still alive, it would mean that Jiang Wuying had failed!
In contrast to Jiang Shijian's shock, Yun Xiaoyao and Yun Ruoxi were pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, worried.
Now that the Yun family was on the brink of destruction, wouldn't rushing back now, including Lin Yun, be sending him to his death?
"What did you mean by what you said just now?" Bragging Simon suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and asked Lin Yun in a cold, low voice.
Although he wanted to kill Lin Yun, he did not dare to do so in public.
After all, the Marquis of Yuzhou had given him an ultimatum. If he killed Lin Yun here, he would not be able to answer to the Marquis of Yuzhou.
"If you can't detect such a low-grade poison, how can you say that others can't?" Lin Yun rebuked Bragging Simon mercilessly.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the crowd could not help but be speechless.
Everyone knew that Bragging Simon's skill in refining poisons was second only to the Poison King, who lived in seclusion in the mountains. In the entire Yuzhou County, he was one of the best.
A poison that even Bragging Simon could not detect had become a low-grade, low-grade poison in the eyes of this youth.
"So, what you mean is that you can detect it?" Bragging Simon raised his eyebrows.
"What's so difficult about that?" Lin Yun said calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Bragging Simon laughed out loud, "That's good. I want to see how you are going to detect it!"
"If you can detect it, then so be it. But if you can't, then you are deliberately stalling for time and delaying the patrol from rescuing the victims. You are obstructing official business. You are guilty of the same crime as the Yun family!"
Bragging Simon said to Lin Yun with a straight face. However, in his heart, he was laughing coldly.
The poison that had been thrown into the Yun family had been personally refined by Bragging Simon. As such, no one knew better than him how terrifying this poison was.
It was not an exaggeration to say that no one in the entire Southern Summer King could detect it. Besides, other than Bragging Simon himself, no one in the entire Yuzhou would be able to detect it.
Lin Yun was just a youth. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible for him to detect the poison.
If Lin Yun could not detect the poison, Bragging Simon could use Lin Yun to obstruct official business to justify killing Lin Yun on the spot.
"How about it? Do you still dare to investigate? "Bragging Simon looked at Lin Yun with a sinister and cunning gaze. It was as if he was waiting for Lin Yun to fall for his trap.
Lin Yun did not even think about it. He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to investigate. I already know what poison it is."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Jiang Shijian laughed mockingly. "You already know without investigating? Do you really think that you are an immortal? "
Bragging Simon had a sinister smile on his face. "Since you say that you already know, then tell me, what poison is it that everyone is suffering from?"
"Yama Powder," Lin Yun said calmly.
