Young Empress Qing was shocked, and the Weasel Prince angrily shouted, "Don't spout nonsense, Lu Yin!" He hadn't said anything before because he didn't want to offend Lu Yin, but also because there was no point in saying anything.
Dealing with the Great Eastern Alliance would not be a problem. No matter how powerful Lu Yin's background was, the worst that could happen was that he would be defeated. However, if he was accused of colluding with the Neohuman Alliance, then things would be different.
That was a crime that would implicate all races. Let alone collusion, even if there was any suspicion of collusion, they would still be eliminated. This was the attitude of the Hall of Honor.
Lu Yin was too vicious. He actually wanted to use this move to deal with the Divine Gu Dynasty.
Imperial Tutor Yuan was so angry that he coughed. "Alliance Leader Lu, even if His Majesty is your enemy, you shouldn't randomly frame my Divine Gu Dynasty. This, this …"
Young Empress Qing glared at Lu Yin. "Lu Yin, you either have to prove that my Divine Gu Dynasty is truly colluding with the Neohuman Alliance, or else, I, Young Empress Qing, will definitely not let you off. Even if I have to report this to the Board of Governors or even to Elder Chan, I will still demand an explanation. I won't rest until I'm dead."
Lu Yin faced the head inquisitor and slowly bowed. "Lord Inquisitor, I'm here because someone reported that the Divine Gu Dynasty's former Grand Tutor had colluded with the Neohuman Alliance to develop Death, the poison of life, in Gu Flowzone."
Qing Shaohuang suddenly looked at Grand Tutor Yuan.
Grand Tutor Yuan's expression changed drastically. "Alliance Leader Lu, don't speak nonsense."
Lu Yin looked at Grand Tutor Yuan, "The person who made the report is Yuan Miaomiao."
The Imperial Tutor, Qing Shaohuang, and many others all looked into the distance. There, Yuan Miaomiao was walking over and slowly bowing to the crowd. "Miaomiao reports that the Imperial Tutor, Yuan Zhong, colluded with the Neohuman Alliance to develop a poison. The evidence is irrefutable.
Gong Hollow was a remote area in the Gu Flowzone that was close to the Divine Gu Continent. Its periphery was filled with poison, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to it. Even space-exploring cultivators would have a slim chance of surviving if they entered. The innermost part of the hollow was filled with a type of poisonous metal known as a gong. Although this metal was poisonous, it was not very useful, which was why not many people went to Gong Hollow.
Lu Yin had invited the head inquisitor to Gu Flowzone because of Yuan Miaomiao's report. Her words alone were enough to convince the head inquisitor to make a trip, but whether or not it was true would depend on the head inquisitor's judgment. It had nothing to do with Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's greatest worry was that the head inquisitor's arrival would coincidentally coincide with the Second Nightking's arrival. In that case, he would have no choice but to allow the Second Nightking to remain imprisoned in Kun's Marsh.
This was a step that had to be taken. Ever since Miaomiao had told Lu Yin that Grand Tutor Yuan had colluded with the Neohuman Alliance to develop the Life Poison, Lu Yin and Wang Wen had decided on a plan that would push Shaohuang Qing into the abyss.
This was the most important step in unifying the Innerverse.
The head judge led Shaohuang Qing, Lu Yin, Yuan Miaomiao, and Grand Tutor Yuan to the Gong Cavity. Everyone could only wait.
Balsam's eyes flickered. There really was a problem here. If that was the case, then when she recalled that Liu Qianjue and the others had attacked the Blazing Mist Flowzone, would Lu Yin have been prepared?
If Lu Yin had been prepared for all of this, then he would have been too ruthless and too calculative.
Of the Innerverse's Eight Great Flowzones, the First Flowzone, the Beast Tamers Flowzone, and the Spirit Seal Flowzone were all attacking the Blazing Mist Flowzone. Lu Yin had personally taken action against the Gu Flowzone, while the Daynight Flowzone and Chaos Flowzones were already half-crippled. Erudite Flowzone did not dare to make a move.
If all of this was related to Lu Yin's scheme, then the entire structure of the Innerverse would change.
She had clearly heard that the Gu Flowzone's banquet had been a result of the Sword Sect and the other powers scheming against Lu Yin, so how had it ended up like this?
In the Gong Cavity, the head judge led Lu Yin forward.
He waved his hand, causing the poison to disperse.
There were close to twenty planets in this area, but because they had been corroded by the Gong Cavity's poison for many years, there were no signs of life.
Grand Tutor Yuan glared at Yuan Miaomiao, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lu Yin blocked Yuan Miaomiao's side and looked at Grand Tutor Yuan. "Since you're already here, then just tell me the location of the Poison of Life. Perhaps the head judge will be lenient with your punishment."
"I won't be lenient. You'll definitely die," the head judge said coldly.
Lu Yin was speechless.
"Alliance Master Lu, the one who offended you was Shaohuang Qing. It has nothing to do with me. Why are you causing trouble for me?
Are you trying to slander me? "Grand Tutor Yuan gritted his teeth.
Shaohuang Qing also stared at Lu Yin. "Lu Yin, don't think that you can slander my Divine Venomous Dynasty just because you found a random place. You might have already thrown out some Poison of Life here to slander me, but the head judge won't be fooled by you."
Suddenly, the head judge made a move and tapped out with a finger. The Gong Cavity split apart, and pairs of scarlet eyes opened. There were quite a few hidden Corpse Kings here, and one of them used its Red Eye Transformation. Its rune lines surpassed Grand Tutor Yuan's, and its power level surpassed a million.
Lu Yin was shocked. That had been close! Fortunately, when Yuan Miaomiao had told him the location, he had not explored it himself and had instead told the head judge about it. Otherwise, he would have been in deep trouble, and even the Second Nightking might not have been able to save him.
A Red Eye Transformation Corpse King with a power level of a million was quite powerful, and it would have been a Cosmic Imprinter in the Sixth Mainland. However, it had not stood a chance against the head judge's Libra Judgment and had been instantly killed.
There were indeed many traces of the Poison of Life here in the Gong Cavity.
Shaohuang Qing was in disbelief. "How is that possible?
It's fake, it's all fake! "He glared at Lu Yin." You're slandering me. It's definitely you. "
Lu Yin sneered. "Are you saying that I have the ability to capture a Corpse King with a power level of a million and throw it here to slander you?
If that's the case, then why don't I just get the Corpse King to kill you? It's the Neohuman Alliance's doing, and there's no evidence pointing to me. "
Shaohuang Qing was speechless, and he turned to look at Grand Tutor Yuan.
Grand Tutor Yuan's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with despair.
When he saw Grand Tutor Yuan's expression, Shaohuang Qing understood, and his face paled. "It's you?
You colluded with the Neohuman Alliance?
Why?
I've treated you well, so why did you collude with the Neohuman Alliance? "
Grand Tutor Yuan clenched his fists and glared at Yuan Miaomiao. "I should have killed you! I should have killed you!"
Yuan Miaomiao closed his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Stop pretending, Shaohuang Qing. You were the one who told Grand Tutor Yuan to collude with the Neohuman Alliance to develop the Poison of Life. Perhaps the Poison of Life was secretly developed by your Divine Gu Dynasty from the start, and then you sold it to the Neohuman Alliance," Lu Yin said.
Shaohuang Qing roared, and his eyes widened. "Nonsense! My Qing family rules over the Gu Flowzone! Why would we collude with the Neohuman Alliance? You're trying to slander me!"
Lu Yin picked his ear. "That's the truth, and you still want to deny it?
Grand Tutor Yuan was right in front of you, and with your strength, how could you not have seen that he was colluding with the Neohuman Alliance?
Stop pretending. "
Shaohuang Qing was furious, and he grabbed at Lu Yin. "Nonsense!" He barely took a step before he was unable to move again. The head judge coldly said, "Impudence."
Just those two words woke Shaohuang Qing up from his daze, and he thought of the worst possible outcome.
Regardless of whether or not Grand Tutor Yuan's collusion with the Neohuman Alliance had anything to do with him, he would still be taken away for investigation. Given the Hall of Honor's attitude towards the Neohuman Alliance, there was no way he would be safe.
If he returned to the Divine Gu Dynasty, then where would the Divine Gu Dynasty go?
He looked at Lu Yin with uncertainty in his eyes. This person had set his sights on the Divine Gu Dynasty, and if he was around, then this would be the outcome.
The more he thought about it, the colder Shaohuang Qing became. His heart was cold, and his body was even colder.
"Lord Judge, I- I've been wronged. This junior definitely did not collude with the Neohuman Alliance," Shaohuang Qing said bitterly as he tried to prove his innocence.
"Whether or not you've been wronged will be determined after the trial," the head judge coldly replied. He then fixed the void around the gong depression to prevent anyone from entering and brought Lu Yin and the rest back to the palace in Gu King City.
When everyone saw the ashen-faced and despairing Grand Tutor Yuan and the pale-faced Shaohuang Qing, they knew that Lu Yin's report was true.
The Jackal Prince and the rest felt as if the sky had collapsed.
"Yuan Zhong colluded with the Neohuman Alliance and will be brought back to the Realm Mountain for investigation. Shaohuang Qing will also be investigated. No one from the Divine Gu Dynasty is allowed to leave the Gu Flowzone, and they are to be investigated at any time," the head judge declared coldly.
Lu Yin immediately agreed. "The Great Eastern Alliance will definitely assist the Hall of Honor in the trial of the Divine Gu Dynasty."
"Bring the Little Saint back. We'll do our best to assist the Little Saint. Bring him back." These were Shaohuang Qing's last words before he was taken away.
It had clearly been a banquet to celebrate a breakthrough, but it had ended up being a prelude to Shaohuang Qing's capture and trial. Everyone looked at Lu Yin, not knowing how to face him.
The Jackal Prince looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. Regardless of whether or not Shaohuang Qing had colluded with the Neohuman Alliance, his future would not be good. The best outcome would be to be imprisoned for a period of time, and it would be impossible for him to regain control of the Divine Gu Dynasty. The Hall of Honor would definitely investigate the Divine Gu Dynasty, and he could not even begin to imagine how many people would be implicated. He himself might be implicated as well. With the Hall of Honor's methods, although the Divine Gu Dynasty would not be completely destroyed, it would still be severely damaged.
Qing Longlong walked in front of Lu Yin and glared at him. She then looked at Yuan Miaomiao. "What happened?
Tell me. "
Yuan Miaomiao's eyes dimmed. "Longlong, Yuan Zhong is not my grandfather. He killed my parents and colluded with the Neohuman Alliance."
"What does that have to do with my father?" Qing Longlong shouted at the top of her lungs.
Yuan Miaomiao shook her head. "I don't know if it has anything to do with His Majesty. I'm only reporting Yuan Zhong."
Qing Longlong was stunned. Indeed, Yuan Miaomiao had only reported Yuan Zhong, not Shaohuang Qing. Shaohuang Qing had only been taken away for trial because Yuan Zhong had implicated him, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Miaomiao.
Even if it had not been Yuan Miaomiao who had reported Yuan Zhong, Shaohuang Qing would still have been taken away for trial because he was the emperor of the Divine Gu Dynasty.
"Why now?
Why? "Qing Longlong asked weakly.
Yuan Miaomiao looked at her. "If it wasn't now, would I have the ability to report it?
Would it even work? "
"You can report it to my father."
"I don't have any evidence. The evidence was determined by the head judge, and I don't even have the chance to tell His Majesty. If I do, I'll die," Yuan Miaomiao said bitterly.
Qing Longlong loosened her grip. Indeed, if Yuan Miaomiao had reported this to Shaohuang Qing, Tutor Yuan would have died, and so would Yuan Miaomiao. This matter could not be spread, and anyone who knew about it would have to die. Yuan Miaomiao had only thought about herself, so she could not blame her. She could only say that Lu Yin had come at the perfect time, and she had been the one to pull the strings and allow Yuan Miaomiao and Lu Yin to meet.
This was all her fault.
