My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 175 Huang Xiang: Li Wei truly cares about me!

Just as Li Wei was maintaining order at the entrance of the Thunder Department,
Huang Xiang, who lives in the Xianfu Building in Xinhai City, has been on the phone all day.

Reporters and monks from the outside world are all concerned about the Thunder Department of Xinhai City and Li Wei.

But the families behind those divine children only cared whether he, the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, was involved in this matter, and whether it was the Heavenly Emperor's will behind it.

A prominent figure from Zhongzhou probed over the phone: "Your Excellency, our families support His Majesty, so why are even our children being arrested?"

Not me!
Not me!
That's definitely not me!
Li Wei himself said that he caused the trouble, so why don't you believe him?
Huang Xiang tried to explain: "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

“Your Excellency, we are all on His Majesty’s side. This is not right of you! A friend of mine heard that you had met with people from Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group before, and someone else heard that Li Wei received a phone call from you before making the arrests! Is this true?”

Huang Xiang: "."

Who the hell did you guys hear that from?
What about people? !
Find the witnesses!
There are no witnesses, no evidence, and even Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group itself has come out to clarify that they have never met me. Why don't you believe it?

Nobody actually believed it!
Because whether it was Li Wei, Xinhai City Immortal Mansion, or Zhongzhou Medicine, everyone seemed to have agreed beforehand to insist that this matter had nothing to do with Huang Xiang, and even took the initiative to clarify for him when facing interviews with reporters and the media.

The fact that everyone spoke with such precision and uniformity suggests it was all pre-arranged.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Divine Blood Clan, the lack of evidence is the only correct thing to do!
If Huang Xiang wasn't the mastermind behind it all, why is the entire Xinhai community protecting him?

Huang Xiang was furious, so furious he wanted to kill someone, but he had no one to vent his anger on.

Should he blame Li Wei and the others for telling the truth?
Waaaaah, the atmosphere on this planet is absolutely awful!

The more people tell the truth, the more suspicious they seem, and the less people believe them. Isn't that right?
Huang Xiang tried to struggle one last time: "It really wasn't me!"

The important figure opposite sighed and said, "Alas! The special envoy's move this time must be to intimidate Zhongzhou and demonstrate His Majesty's authority! So indeed, everyone should be treated equally."

"Only by arresting our children can they prevent others from finding fault! We understand!"

"But those children are outstanding members of our family. Could you perhaps reduce their sentences?"

Hey!
Forget it.

tired!

Destroy it! !

Huang Xiang, the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, finally realized that he could no longer remain uninvolved. He sighed heavily, slumped back in his chair, and said:
"Let your children take the lead in confessing, and I will reduce their sentences."

"Thank you, Special Envoy! We will cooperate fully!"

After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiang immediately slammed her phone against the wall, then smashed everything in the office, her whole being enraged like a mad bull.

"Damn it, New Haixian Mansion! Damn it, Zhongzhou Medicine! They're all plotting against me, aren't they!"

Whether it's tacit understanding or not,
It may have been premeditated.

Everyone involved in this matter, including the Immortal Mansion in Xinhai City, conspired to trap him in a scheme to prevent him from escaping unscathed!

Huang Xiang is now in a very difficult situation!
Those damn bastards!

All I wanted was to steal a little more money before returning to Heaven to increase my chances of becoming an immortal. What did I do wrong?!

"Phew! Calm down! Calm down! I'm already tied to their chariot. Even if I try to distance myself, I'll only be seen as a coward who deserted in the face of battle and was scared out of his wits by the power of the Divine Blood Clan."

"My future will be ruined then."

"Now that things have come to this, the only way is to get involved, negotiate with Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, and reclaim the credit and benefits that are rightfully mine! Only then, by clinging to His Majesty's coattails, can I hope to survive this ordeal and attain immortality."

Although Huang Xiang was eager for stability and greed, when he was truly backed into a corner, he was by no means lacking in the courage to burn his bridges.

As the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, he is one of the safest people in Xinhai City, and even in the entire Central Continent. No one dares to directly touch him, and that is his confidence!

This is also the core reason why the new Hai City Immortal Mansion wants to drag him down!

Only the special envoy can shelter us from the wind and rain!

Huang Xiang suppressed her anger, picked up her phone again, and teleported directly to the gate of Lei's Department in Xinhai City, intending to meet Li Wei and the representatives of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group in person.

The result was that the plane had just landed...

He was terrified by the surging crowd around him.

Why are there so many people here?

At this moment, because of Li Wei's appearance, the number of people demonstrating at the entrance of Lei Men had reached 50,000, blocking the entire street.

Huang Xiang glanced around and, seeing that they were all there to support Li Wei, felt a little relieved: "At least the cultivators' hearts are still on our side. The fervor of the masses is an unstoppable trend."

Thinking about this made him even more determined in his mind.

The tide has turned! We cultivators should follow the trend.

Just then, Li Wei's voice came from the main gate of the Thunder Department, indicating that he was maintaining order.

"Everyone, our Thunder Department is working hard to complete all the procedures for the prosecution, and we are already severely understaffed! In order to uphold the Heavenly Laws, to bring those who illegally traded dark cultivation to justice, and to protect everyone's interests, please do not give us any additional workload!"

The noisy crowd finally calmed down.
After all, people travel from all over the country to Xinhai not only to see their idols, but also because they want to see the scene of over a hundred divine children being judged together.

This is a historic bombshell!

We can't let them ruin it because they're causing trouble at the entrance!
So many people spontaneously stood up and formed a security team: "Inspector Li, you can rest assured to prepare the indictment documents. We will take care of maintaining order outside the Lei Department gate!"

Li Wei immediately bowed to everyone.

"Then I'll leave it to you all!"

Click, click, click.

Reporters quickly captured the scene on camera and included it in their reports as a model of police-community cooperation, giving them something to write about.

Standing in the crowd, Huang Xiang looked at Li Wei's haggard face and his slightly unsteady steps, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems this kid has had a tough time too."

This kid is a Golden Core cultivator, and he also possesses the Kunpeng Demon Body; there's no way he could be this exhausted.
My legs are so weak from walking.

It seems he really put in a lot of effort and dedication into this case!

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this kid is just a small inspector. Faced with a behemoth like Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, he probably has no choice but to act against his will.
For some reason, Huang Xiang even felt sympathy for Li Wei.

He had expected to be very angry when he saw the boy who had been carrying him on his back.

But to my surprise, I couldn't get angry when I actually saw it.

Only after he quietly entered the immortal abode and walked step by step to Li Wei did he put on a stern face.

"Li Wei, now that you've latched onto the coattails of Zhongzhou Medicine, you're even more powerful than me, the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy!"

"Brother Huang? What brings you here!"

Li Wei rushed forward anxiously, saying nervously, "This has nothing to do with you! Why are you showing up here at this time? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

"You'd better get out of here!!"

"No matter what happens, I will take it all on myself and will never implicate you."

[Deception Effect 1: Great Treachery Appears as Loyalty—Your superiors will find it harder to see your true nature, and your sweet words will subtly increase their favorability towards you.]

Just like how Lao Xinzhi would use words to influence Li Wei's mind when negotiating with him.

Li Wei also began to use his title of Heavenly Dao to influence Huang Xiang!
To climb high in the celestial realm, one absolutely needs the effects of the "leadership-specific" keywords.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to fool your superiors even if you wanted to.
If there's a significant difference in cultivation level, people can tell at a glance whether your feelings are genuine or feigned.

Just like now,
Huang Xiang was shocked by Li Wei's genuine emotions.

He didn't expect that the kid's first reaction would be to protect him.

Shocked, he instinctively used his divine eye to observe Li Wei, trying to see if he was truly sincere.

As a result, the power of his divine eye was shielded by the title of Heavenly Dao, and he was unable to detect any flaws.

'This kid is actually genuinely thinking of me!'

Compared to him, those guys at the Immortal Abode in Xinhai City who spread rumors about me truly deserve to die!

Huang Xiang sighed and said, "Such a big matter, can you, a mere inspector, handle it? Why didn't you report to me first when Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group contacted you?!"

Li Wei said apologetically, "That's Zhongzhou Medicine! I already had no choice, how could I drag you into this? You've already offended the Kong family because of me, I... I really can't bear it!"

In fact, the first person to drag him down was Li Wei!

"Hey! Brother Li, you're so foolish!"

Huang Xiang grabbed his shoulder: "The reason they came to you is to drag me into this, so this is not something you can just take on as you please. Even if I wanted to get out of this now, I can't!"

"Those damned bastards from Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, they hired my people without even asking me beforehand, it's outrageous!!"

"Take me to see their representative! I'll settle this personally!"
