At this very moment, everyone was standing ramrod straight!
The Sky Inspecting Minister, this old man had not appeared for hundreds of years. He was only controlling the great shamans of the Wu people. The Seven Swords of the Dao League were already a legend in the Astral Souls Continent, a myth!
And this myth was the benefactor of the entire continent!
Now, this big shot suddenly appeared in front of Ancestral Dragon High Martial. How could the people of Ancestral Dragon High Martial not be excited?
Everyone who was related to the Ancestral Dragon's high level of martial prowess was present. Coincidentally, there were exactly ninety of them.
The ninety people waited quietly, gazing respectfully at the still empty stage.
The minister had not arrived yet, but everyone knew that he would appear on this stage soon.
They just didn't know when he would come.
Everyone was waiting quietly for that moment to arrive.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed.
A figure as majestic as a mountain appeared on the stage.
At this moment, the sun and the moon shone together, the stars twinkled, the black robe fluttered, and the crown was held high.
Everyone stood up and bowed in greeting, "We pay our respects to the Minister."
On the stage, the minister gently raised his hand and said, "Alright, sit down."
Then, a chair appeared behind the Minister out of thin air. The Minister sat down on that chair like floating clouds and flowing water.
Then, he said lightly, "Today, I came to Ancestral Dragon High Martial to ask for your help."
Ancestral Dragon High Martial and the others were all excited. Their faces were red as they said, "If the minister has any orders, we will go through water and tread on fire. We will not hesitate to die!"
On the stage, the minister gently nodded. His voice was still indifferent as he said, "I have a close friend. His name is Qin Fangyang."
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a clap of thunder that exploded in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, at this moment, the principal of Ancestral Dragon High Martial only wanted to vomit blood.
He just wanted to faint immediately and not know anything. It would be best if he didn't care about anything!
So that's it!
So that's it!
So that's the truth!
No wonder Department Head Ding was so sure.
If they couldn't find the person, everyone would die. Everyone would die!
At that time, everyone had guessed wrongly and thought that it was the King Of Zuolu's arrangement.
Qin Fangyang's cultivation and strength were just so-so. His connections and background were the most eye-catching. He had some connections with the Eastern Front Marshal Dongfang, and through his good disciple, Zuo Xiaoduo, he had gotten to know many high-ranking martial artists. Everything else was insignificant.
To the King Of Zuolu, such a person was just an insignificant person. The difference in status between the two was too great.
The fact that the King Of Zuolu had asked him about it was already his limit. Perhaps he would forget about it after a few days.
Even if the King Of Zuolu did not forget and insisted on pursuing the matter, this matter involved many influential people in Shangjing City. Even if their power was not enough to make the King Of Zuolu afraid, it was not difficult to make the King Of Zuolu show mercy.
Slaughtering all the high-ranking officials in Shangjing for such a small person?!
The King Of Zuolu, who always looked at the big picture, would not do such a thing.
That was probably what everyone thought. Even after Department Head Ding gave the order, there was still not much reaction. They still thought that it was all bark and no bite.
But no one would have thought that Qin Fangyang was the Minister's man.
Because of Qin Fangyang, the Minister personally came to Ancestral Dragon!
Denounce him?!
When everyone thought of this word, how could they not know that the consequences of this matter were too serious?!
The Minister had personally said that Qin Fangyang was his best friend!
What did 'best friend' mean?
However, anyone who had gone to primary school, anyone who was slightly literate, would understand the meaning behind it!
Best friend!
What a scam!
If you had such a strong relationship with Qin Fangyang, why didn't you say so?
If you had said it, or even slightly revealed this relationship, the entire Ancestral Dragon would have worshipped you as their ancestor!
Was it necessary to let you go missing, with your whereabouts unknown, with your life and death unknown?
Your disappearance and unknown whereabouts were not important, but it was a scam to all of us!
Among the ninety high-ranking officials of Ancestral Dragon, most of them were confused about the current situation. They did not know where it came from or where it was going.
They did not know the cause of the current change. They were all puzzled. What … was going on? How did it unfold?
However, there were also a dozen or so people whose faces turned snow-white in an instant, completely devoid of color.
The Minister sat on the stage. His voice was very quiet as he said lightly, "Qin Fangyang went missing in Ancestral Dragon's Martial Arts. I don't believe it."
Below the stage, everyone seated was dumbstruck.
Those who were qualified to be the 'high-ranking officials' of Ancestral Dragon's Martial Arts were not ordinary people. At this moment, they had already understood the meaning behind the words. They also understood that the Minister's intention in coming to Ancestral Dragon's Martial Arts was not simple!
The Minister's voice was like a gust of cold wind from the depths of hell, "So, please, everyone, find him."
Below the stage, there was still complete silence for a long time.
Finally, the principal of Ancestral Dragon's Martial Arts struggled to stand up while trembling. He said bitterly, "Minister, regarding Teacher Qin Fangyang's disappearance, it did happen in Ancestral Dragon. But … this matter, I did not notice anything unusual from beginning to end. Ever since Teacher Qin went missing, we have been looking for him … "
The Minister's gaze was like the rotation of the sun and moon. The principal immediately felt that he could not speak.
Looking at the Minister's eyes, his mind was muddled for a moment. When he finally came back to his senses, he found that he had already sat down without knowing when.
The next person to stand up was Vice-principal Lu, who was sitting beside the principal, "Minister, regarding this matter, we really did not know … that Qin Fangyang …"
The Minister looked at this Vice-principal and said lightly, "You are called Lu Zhongtian?"
Lu Zhongtian said, "Yes."
The Minister said, "You are from Shangjing's Lu family?"
Lu Zhongtian said, "Yes."
The Minister said lightly, "Lu Shentong, is he still alive?"
Lu Zhongtian said respectfully, "Ancestor already … passed away two hundred years ago."
The Minister said, "He died on your family's bed?"
"… Yes."
The Minister was silent for a moment and said lightly, "Is there anyone from Shangjing's Lu family outside? Call in a few people who can make decisions. "
His voice drifted out slowly.
In less than a hundred breaths, voices came from the door, "Lu family's Lu Wangsheng, Lu Haibo, Lu Zhan Xin, Lu Yun Ting … greet the Minister."
Vice-principal Lu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
Among these people, Lu Wangsheng was the oldest ancestor of the Lu family. Lu Haibo was the second generation and was nicknamed the number one expert of the Lu family. Below him was Lu Zhan Xin, the current head of the Lu family. Finally, Lu Yun Ting was the current head of the Yanwu Empire's secret department. He was also the person with the highest official position in the Lu family. These four people represented the current power structure of the Lu family.
"Come in." The Minister said.
"Yes."
The door opened.
The four people entered in a single file and knelt on the ground with respectful attitudes.
The Minister said lightly, "This Vice-principal Lu Zhong Tian was involved in Qin Fangyang's disappearance. Does the Lu family know the inside story?"
The head of the secret department, Lu Yun Ting, was covered in cold sweat. His whole body was shaking.
The Minister glanced at him and said lightly, "I'll ask again. Does the Lu family's elder know that Lu Yun Ting was involved in erasing the traces?"
Lu Wangsheng and the other two trembled and knelt down, "Spare our lives, Minister!"
The Minister sat on the chair and said lightly, "Do you think that if you don't say anything, there will be no evidence to follow. There will be no law to rely on, and I won't be able to convict you? Do you think that your crimes will be sealed in the ground forever, never to see the light of day? "
The five people of the Lu family all knelt on the ground, trembling. Their faces were already pale.
Lu family's ancestor, Lu Wangsheng's old face was full of despair. He was almost dead.
As the ancestor of the Lu family, he knew very well what kind of situation the Lu family was in now.
The Minister's voice and tone were still indifferent.
But the end of the Lu family was already decided.
There was no need for law, no need for evidence, and so on. Every word that came out of the Minister's mouth was the law of the Astral Souls. It was irresistible, and it could not be defied!
The Minister had clearly stated the word 'sin' in his last sentence.
The Minister was very angry.
That meant that the Lu family was finished!
Lu Wangsheng did not dare to complain, nor did he have anything to complain about.
The only thing he hated was the fact that his descendants were so insensible!
The Lu family was already one of the top families in Shangjing. What was there to be discontent about?
Why did they have to go and cause such a huge disaster?
The Minister said lightly, "Lu family's Lu Zhong Tian, Lu Yun Ting, used public resources for private use, framed the loyal, disregarded the law, and vermin Yan Wu …"
The punishment was about to be handed down!
Lu Wang Sheng was desperate. So, he suddenly cried out in a heart-wrenching manner, "Minister, Minister … My family's ancestor, my family's ancestor, Lu Shen Tong, had also fought fiercely in the world. He had also served as a general under the Right Heavenly King … Minister, please show mercy! The fault of the younger generation should not be blamed on the whole family … "
The Minister's voice was very cold, "Do you think that my previous question was without reason? That Lu Shen Tong actually died on his own bed. As an old general who fought on the battlefield, this is also a crime! "
"The Heavenly King of the Right, You Dongtian, is also guilty! When the continent was in a precarious situation, when the bloody battle at the Sun and Moon Pass was endless, when the Wu people were facing a strong enemy, even if they had a long life, they would choose to self-destruct on the battlefield, and their last bit of strength would be used to slaughter our people. Yet, the Heavenly King of the Right actually had such a great general under his command! You Dongtian, your discipline is not strict, and you have no prestige. You are a disgrace to the Heavenly King of the Right! From today onwards, in front of the Sun and Moon Pass, the whole army will reflect on themselves! "
"The Heavenly King of the Right, You Dongtian, from today onwards, will guard the Sun and Moon Pass for a thousand years without moving. Your salary will be deducted for a thousand years as a warning to others!"
