Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 155: The poisonous insect appears in the court

Qianshan Laotuo's cold words shocked the whole hall. No one expected him to say this at this time. This was undoubtedly an acknowledgement of Yao Jia's judgment, which was completely different from his previous tough attitude. Could it be that they were really colluding with the remnants to hide the tribute from the court?

This was beyond Wuzhan's expectations. Wuzhan did not believe that this was done by Qianshan Laotuo. Laotuo would never plead guilty, but this sudden change would undoubtedly send him and He Biliu to the execution ground. How could Laotuo be confused at this time? After carefully examining Laotuo's expression, he saw that the red scar was no longer twitching. Although he was still staring, he had lost his spirit, as if he was sleepwalking.

Daoxuan was so surprised when he heard this that he frowned and observed Qianshan Laotuo with a sharp gaze. Although he noticed that he was different, he couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.

The old camel's sinister mouth twitched slightly as he said, "If you hadn't coveted money, colluded with the rebels, robbed tribute, and dragged me into this, how could I have suffered such humiliation?"

Yao Jia said sternly: "Why keep the traitor alive?"

The jailers who had been waiting on both sides were holding chains and trying to tie up the surprised He Biliu. But before they could get close, He Biliu turned his internal Qi around and shook him away. The old camel screamed in pain. He Biliu rushed to the old camel like a thunderbolt and instantly repelled the jailers on both sides. He grabbed the old camel, staring at him with excitement, and said fiercely, "You actually framed me!"

"How dare you, He Biliu? Why don't you surrender? Do you want to rebel?" Yao Jia stood up and shouted angrily. Dozens of jailers came forward, holding swords in their hands, and surrounded He Biliu.

The old camel showed a sinister smile and looked at He Biliu and said, "Can't you see it now? He is deceiving us with a dream. How can a mob of us become immortals? We will all be eliminated in the end. The truth will soon come to light. He..." Before he could finish his words, his face suddenly twisted, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his eyes rolled back, blood flowed from all his orifices, his body became limp, and he died suddenly.

"How dare he kill people in public in the Supreme Court to silence them? Quickly capture this traitor!" Yao Jia gave the order, and the jailers dared not disobey and drew their swords to stab He Biliu.

Why leave his face covered in blood? He was as dumb as a chicken. He had never dreamed of such a situation. In just a few words, he became a traitor. Just by grabbing the old camel, he became a murderer to silence the witnesses. Once the old camel died, he could not wash himself clean even if he jumped into the sea. Seeing several long swords stabbing at him, he did not have time to think. He roared, the black shadow spun, and the deadly hook drew a black light, sweeping down the people attacking from all sides, and screaming in pain.

When the old camel said the second sentence, Wuzhan focused his attention on the people around him. Perhaps because he was close to him, he noticed that a short guard behind Feng Jie was lowering his head, his helmet almost covering his eyes, and his pink lips seemed to move slightly. Judging from his figure and beard, he looked very similar to the Qin soldier pretending to be Wanjiao. Wuzhan suspected that this person had a lot to do with the old camel's abnormal behavior, and that he had unique skills that the two immortal-level masters in your house could not detect.

He Biliu glanced around and knew that he should not stay here for long. He had to escape from here first and then make plans. He turned to Daoxuan who was speculating, "I was framed by them. You must find out the truth for me. I will cut them into pieces!" His body rose up, and amidst the shouts of killing, he cut a bloody path and rushed out of the court. After a few turns, his figure disappeared. The jailers knew that they could not catch up with him, so they just chased after him with shouts of killing symbolically.

During this period, Jin Xingzi wanted to step forward to stop He Biliu, but Wuzhan shook his head slightly to indicate that it was not necessary. Miaoxin did not chase him rashly this time, but concentrated and guarded Wuzhan vigilantly.

When Yao Jia saw He Biliu running away, he turned his gaze to Daoxuan and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you stop your subordinates from killing people and letting them escape?"

Daoxuan stood up and said coldly: "The incident happened suddenly, and many things have not been clarified yet. How can we rush to conclusions like you, my Lord? Besides, there are so many people in the Supreme Court, why do I need to take action?" He walked to the old camel and bent over to examine the body.

"With He Biliu's skills, who among us can catch up with him except the real person? If you still have doubts, we can go to His Majesty and sort things out and ask His Majesty to make the decision."

"Your Majesty needs to be informed, but not now. Your case has not been concluded yet, and the culprit behind the scenes has not been found. How are you going to give His Majesty an explanation?"

"We could have found out the truth by just catching He Biliu, but the real person let him go."

"If it was really him, I would have captured him even if he had fled to the ends of the earth. But he was framed by someone, and he was not the one who killed the old camel."

"In front of everyone, He Biliu saw that the old camel was about to confess the culprit behind the scene, so he rushed to his side and killed him. Do you need to quibble about this?"

"He Biliu only grabbed the old camel by the chest and did not kill it. The old camel behaved abnormally before his death. It was obvious that he was bewitched!"

"You cultivators can kill people with your true qi, not to mention grabbing their chests. Why bother using your true qi to repel the soldiers? Everyone saw clearly that no one except him had contact with the old camel. Who else could it be but him?"

Daoxuan saw white mucus flowing out of the old camel's nostrils. He stretched out his hand to pinch the old camel's jaw and found that the mouth was also full of white mucus, which looked like brain matter. Suddenly, his figure flashed and he flew back a few feet away. He frowned and said in shock: "Nine Yin Brain Devouring Corpse Gu!"

Gu worms are poisonous insects bred from human or animal bodies. They are the most vicious of all poisonous insects, and the Nine Yin Brain Devouring Corpse Worm is the most vicious and evil of all. A boy's head is used as a container, placed in a pottery jar, and 81 kinds of strong poisons and 81 kinds of extremely poisonous insects are put into it. It is then sealed and buried underground in the heaviest yin energy. After 81 days, the poisonous insects compete to devour the brain, absorb the poison, fight and kill each other. The last one to survive is the Nine Yin Brain Devouring Corpse Worm. It must take the human brain as a host and is extremely afraid of fire. Once it loses its brain or is burned by fire, it will die in a moment. However, if it enters the human brain through the seven orifices, it will quickly split and multiply, controlling the human consciousness, turning the living into the walking dead, and the dead into ferocious zombies, at the mercy of the caster. This technique is too cruel and spreads faster than the plague. It is not tolerated by the cultivation world. Once discovered, it must be eradicated. It has long been lost. Wuzhan, Miaoxin, Qingyang and others all know a little about it. Daoxuan's long sword choked out of his body, and white light rose around him. Everyone in the hall retreated, thinking that Daoxuan wanted to vent his anger and attack them. In panic, they saw Daoxuan's long sword shoot a white light straight into the old camel's head. With a "click", the head broke open, "Puff!" A ball of colorful fluorescence surged out of the skull and scattered around like a swarm of bees.

White shadows fluttered, white electricity danced, true energy surged, and sparks flashed. In just a moment, Daoxuan had put away his sword and floated down. On the ground was a layer of shriveled insect corpses, each of which was the size of a grain of rice and colorful.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their scalps tingled, their heads ached, and they broke out in cold sweats. It was hard to imagine how there could be so many poisonous insects in the old camel's brain, and when did they get in?
Daoxuan glanced at the panicked crowd around him and said in a stern voice: "Poisoning people secretly is not considered a real skill. Do you dare to stand up and compete with me?" The voice echoed throughout the hall, making everyone's ears buzz.

Wuzhan glanced behind Feng Jie again and saw that his pink lips showed an evil curve at this time, but he didn't seem to care. When his bright eyes turned around, he was met with Wuzhan's gaze. With a little surprise, he slowly avoided it. Wuzhan also turned to look at Daoxuan at the same time.

Yao Jia sneered, "Master really has the ability to use tricks to release these insects to cover up the truth and make us believe that the old camel died of witchcraft. If there are so many insects in a human brain, how can it survive, let alone talk to us?"

Daoxuan didn't expect Yao Jia to turn the tables. By saying this, he turned the obvious evidence into nothingness, and he became a villain who was deliberately making things mysterious. He knew that this must be a conspiracy set up by them. It was meaningless to argue with this old fox at this time. He said coldly: "I will definitely find out the murderer!"

Yao Jia said: "The murderer has escaped, please bring him to justice!"

Daoxuan said sternly: "My Lord Tingwei, you and I know very well that I will repay you for what you have done. We will see what happens. I will take my leave!" Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped out of the door.

A strong wind blew in his face, but Yao Jia remained calm. He looked at Daoxuan's departing figure and said loudly, "I'm sorry I can't see you off!"

Wuzhan looked at the corpse in the hall indifferently, feeling slightly happy, but it was a pity that he could not kill the evil disciple himself to avenge his master. He slowly stood up and came to Yao Jia. He was very clear about Yao Jia's intentions and whispered, "My lord, you have offended the Xiandao Academy today. You must be more careful in the future."

"Since I have chosen to be the Minister of Justice, I have already put life and death aside. Your Excellency does not need to worry about me!"

Wuzhan said: "Your Excellency is willing to sacrifice your life for the country and the people. I admire you! I wonder where you will start your investigation next?"

Feng Jie came up to the two and said, "Now that the stolen tribute has been recovered, we can at least give His Majesty an explanation. As for the culprit behind this, we all know it clearly. It will be very difficult to get to the bottom of it. For now, we should catch He Biliu first!"

Yao Jia sighed: "This is the only way!"

Wuzhan bowed and said, "My Lords, it's getting late. I'm leaving now!" After that, he left with Miaoxin and Jinxingzi.

……

The autumn wind gradually cooled, the hustle and bustle faded, the sound of the piano in Qingya Pavilion was melodious, the fragrance of tea was wafting, Wuzhan slowly sat down on the guest chair next to Yang Yingjie, and smiled, "With Brother Yang's personality, how could you stay in Xianyang for so long?"

Yang Yingjie waved his painted fan and said with a casual smile, "I never get tired of listening to Miss Yu's music, so it won't be too late to stay for a few more days and explore this prosperous capital before leaving."

Wuzhan whispered, "I'm afraid Brother Yang is taking this idiot out for a walk tonight!"

Hearing this, Yang Yingjie paused fanning himself, his handsome face darkened, and then he smiled and said, "Brother Wuzhan, I think you, the censor, are so tired from solving the case that you are starting to get suspicious. Do I need to tell you the details of where I spent the night?"

Wuzhan whispered, "Brother Yang made fun of me, but Brother Yang's hearty and freehand handwriting flew to the idiot's home!"
