Chapter 510 - 510 Collapse

510 Collapse

Yi Zilan could not describe this strange feeling. Xu Lin seemed to have suddenly lost all his vitality. It happened so abruptly that no one could do anything about it.

Wu Changxian frowned. “When Xu Lin died, it was probably right after Madam Xu’s death.”

Yi Zilan pondered for a moment and asked. “If that’s the case, can we still prove Miss Liu’s innocence?”

Wu Changxian nodded. “Of course. Miss Liu is right. Those two elders failed to exorcize the demon spirit in Xu Lin. That’s why Xu Lin turned into a monster. Immediately bring people to Duke Xu’s Mansion to investigate. We must not miss out on anything.”

Yi Zilan nodded. “Yes.”

Wu Changxian took a deep breath. “I’m going to enter the palace to meet the emperor.”

Yuan Hui was temporarily locked up. Madam Xu committed suicide in Jingen Temple in that manner. No one would believe that it had nothing to do with Jingen Temple.

Yuan Hui remained silent all along. In order to prevent anything from happening to him, Wu Changxian ordered his people to keep an eye on him.

Wu Changxian entered the palace as quickly as possible, and Xia Bingguang quickly received him.

Wu Changxian briefly explained the situation. Xia Bingguang frowned and only spoke after a while. “So, what Miss Liu said is true?”

Wu Changxian lowered his head. “I can’t be sure, but from Madam Xu’s death and Young Master Xu’s death, Miss Liu does seem to be right.”

Xia Bingguang exhaled. “Investigate it as you see fit. Since the Cloud Breaking Sect is involved, we should inform them as well.”

None of these righteous people admitted Liu Sanniang’s identity. Then, let them see who was wrong.

Madam Xu’s death could not be covered up at all. It quickly spread all across the city.

Originally, people were waiting to watch the execution of Liu Sanniang after the one-month period. However, they did not expect that in the last ten days, there would be such a turn of events.

After receiving the news, Xu Qing and Xu Ran left the palace with cold expressions and headed straight to the Ministry of War.

After Xia Hongyuan received the news, he was furious. He smashed the things in the room into pieces before getting someone to call Liu Shun over.

Liu Shun lowered his head and suppressed the maliciousness in his eyes. He knelt on the ground and waited for his punishment.

Xia Hongyuan kicked him. “Who exactly is Liu Sanniang?”

He had roped in some people Liu Shun asked him to, and those people were indeed useful, but when it came to Liu Sanniang, Liu Shun was dead wrong all the time.

Liu Shun no longer felt any pain, but after being kicked like this, his dignity was trampled on yet again. After becoming a puppet, only when this layer of flesh was rotting would he feel extreme pain.

Liu Shun quickly lay on the ground and said, “Your Highness, I’ve already said that Liu Sanniang must die. Her existence is the greatest threat.”

Xia Hongyuan’s expression darkened. “Get lost.”

He could not kill her.

What he wanted was the same as what Xia Hongming wanted, which was bringing Liu Sanniang to his side.

Liu Shun bent down and retreated with his head lowered. He was not even comparable to a dog now. All he could do was endure and endure.

In his dream, Liu Sanniang was just an ordinary woman who had never married and lived a lonely life.

Other than Liu Sanniang, everything had happened according to his dream.

He was puzzled and wanted to find out why.

When Xia Hongming received the news, he did not go to look for Wu Ju. He only instructed his men to keep an eye on the Ministry of War and report back if there was any news.

…

In the Ministry of War.

Xu Ran and Xu Qing’s expressions were cold. Xu Qing asked. “Where is Xu Lin’s corpse?”

Xu Ran did not speak, but his expression was dark.

Wu Changxian answered respectfully. “In the cell. Miss Liu is checking him.”

Wasting no time, Xu Ran headed straight to the prison. Xu Qing followed behind him. Wu Changxian frowned. He really could not bring himself to like the two of them.

Miss Liu was still the most approachable.

Wu Changxian did not say anything and followed suit.

When he had told Liu Sanniang the news, she didn’t look surprised at all. She had only said, “I want to see the corpse.”

Wu Changxian immediately got someone to carry Madam Xu and Xu Lin’s corpses to the prison.

At this moment, Liu Sanniang was checking the corpses.

When Xu Ran and Xu Qing arrived at the prison, they heard the sound of scriptures being chanted word by word. Their expressions darkened as they went forward. Xu Lin and Madam Xu’s eyes were tightly shut, and there were still traces of beastification on Xu Lin’s body.

Madam Xu’s body was wrapped in clothes. Her messy long hair was on both sides of her body, revealing her pale face.

When Madam Xu rejected her for the last time, Liu Sanniang had a premonition of her ending. Therefore, when Madam Xu and Xu Lin’s corpses were in front of her, she saw their souls and silently chanted the scriptures.

Madam Xu and Xu Lin did not say anything and just bowed to her. They did not believe Liu Sanniang when they were alive, but after they died, they no longer had any doubts. Since they believed her, they did not say anything.

Liu Sanniang sent Madam Xu and Xu Lin away into the otherworld.

Xu Ran looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “What did you do?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Ran and said calmly, “Did what I have to do.”

Xu Ran’s expression darkened. It was him who personally helped Xu Lin get rid of the demon spirit. It was impossible that it still existed in Xu Lin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Lin’s beastification and death were slaps to their faces. They could no longer deny the fact that Liu Sanniang was right.

Xu Ran looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. He did not feel any spiritual energy from her. She didn’t have a spiritual body, so how could she be the chosen one and the True Buddha?

Wu Changxian looked at Liu Sanniang and asked. “Miss Liu, do you want to see Master Yuan Hui?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes.”

Madam Xu and Xu Lin had left something that belonged to Yuan Hui, so she naturally had to return it to him.

...

Wu Changxian said respectfully, “Miss Liu, please follow me.”

Liu Sanniang had already cleared her name and was no longer a suspect. Wu Changxian’s attitude towards her was very respectful. He led her and Chu Yan away.

Xu Qing frowned. “Xu Ran, this person…”

Xu Ran’s eyes darkened. “There must be something going on. She doesn’t have a spiritual body. She can’t be the chosen one. The Cloud Breaking Sect has long predicted that a chosen one will appear. Qiluo is the one with a natural spiritual body. She should be the chosen one.”

Xu Qing frowned. “But this Miss Liu…”

Logically speaking, the chosen one should be Xia Qiluo, but she did not have any fortuitous encounters. On the other hand, Liu Sanniang, who came out of nowhere and belonged to no sects, had one fortuitous encounter after another.
