I Have an Omen System

Chapter 359: Chapter 234: Life-Substitute Gold Scroll

"In your dreams, you demon! Don’t even think you can tarnish the reputation of the Royal Family."

"Brat, you’re courting death!"

Su Xiaotai roared, absolutely furious with Liu Mobai.

SPLAT!

The Finger Wind pierced through his brain.

Liu Mobai’s head exploded like a watermelon, splattering red and white matter everywhere. His body, clad in a pure white monk’s robe, swayed and fell backward.

The scene fell deathly silent in an instant.

Everyone was stunned by Su Xiaotai’s thunderous strike.

The might of a Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch... was truly this terrifying!

However, just as everyone thought Liu Mobai had been slain...

The unexpected happened!

On the Ink-Bone Folding Fan clutched in the hand of the headless corpse, one of the ribs suddenly broke with a CRACK.

At the same time, a dense golden light burst forth from the broken rib, enveloping Liu Mobai’s corpse.

When the golden light faded, to everyone’s dumbfounded astonishment, Liu Mobai reappeared on the spot, completely unscathed.

He still had the same appearance of a monk, a mixture of saintly and sinister. The only difference was that his Ink-Bone Folding Fan now had a broken rib, its spiritual light having dimmed considerably.

"A Fruit Position Spirit Treasure... a Life-Substitute Gold Scroll!" Su Xiaotai’s pupils shrank. He held back, wary of the implications, having apparently recognized the Spirit Treasure’s origin.

’Could it be... he really is the Prince Imperial?’

"What a brazen Demon! To dare rebel against your superior within the borders of Daqian."

Liu Mobai was beside himself with rage. He pointed at Su Xiaotai and cursed:

"You all saw it! This Demon dared to assassinate a Prince in broad daylight! If not for the protection of the Life-Substitute Golden Keel gifted to me by my Imperial Father, this Prince would have met an unjust end here today."

"He must have wanted to kill me to silence me and cement my reputation as a Demon Cultivator!"

Liu Mobai’s performance, combined with his miraculous "Resurrection," was exceptionally effective!

"That’s a life-substituting Spirit Treasure only the Imperial Family possesses! This Xiao Lan must be Prince Daqian."

"It must be true. Otherwise, how could he have such a divine item for protection? That old Nascent Soul geezer is probably the real Demon Monarch, lashing out in shame after failing to kill him!"

Public opinion reversed in an instant.

The crowd, which had just been doubting Liu Mobai’s identity, now looked at Su Xiaotai and the real Xiao Dinglan with open hostility.

Even Vice Palace Master Zhong Ling nodded slightly, seeming more inclined to believe Liu Mobai, who possessed irrefutable proof from the Royal Family.

Zhao Yan was even more agitated, shouting, "Protect His Highness! This vicious Demon Monarch dared to assassinate a Prince!"

Liu Mobai cupped his hands. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao. When I return to the palace, I will report this to my Imperial Father and have the Fire Cloud Sect promoted to a Fourth Grade Sect."

Zhao Yan was instantly overjoyed.

Watching from the sidelines, Qin Xuan was amazed, cheering wildly in her heart.

’Brilliant, simply brilliant! This Liu Mobai isn’t just shameless, his backing is ridiculously deep... He actually managed to talk his way out of this and pin the blame on them so securely!’

Su Xiaotai’s face was ashen as the Celestial Star Instrument in his palm spun rapidly.

’This is bad. Even if he’s a fake... if this continues, everyone here will recognize his identity as the Prince. Then, even if I activate the Chixiao Decree, the Fruit Position might not recognize me!’

Furthermore, Liu Mobai still had at least several Life-Substitute Gold Scrolls, and for a moment, Su Xiaotai was at a loss.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dinglan, who had been identified by Liu Mobai as an accomplice of the Demon Monarch, was now trembling with rage.

’Never in his life had he been slandered so outrageously!’

’But this Demon Monk right in front of him was holding a treasure of the Imperial Family and acting more like a Prince than he did!’

The situation had reached a complete stalemate.

But Su Xiaotai did not succumb to impotent fury like Xiao Dinglan. His gaze shifted, landing on Qin Xuan, who seemed somewhat stunned by the sudden turn of events.

’This woman has a profound aura. She must be the one here with the highest innate talent. She must be the Daoist of the Cyan Cloud Sect!’

Su Xiaotai took a deep breath. A warm smile appeared on his face as he cupped his hands slightly toward Qin Xuan, his tone carrying the concern of an elder.

"Miss Xuan’Er, you must have been frightened. Before I came on this trip, your master, Elder Lin Ruyuan, specifically instructed me to look after you."

"I am about to summon the Chixiao Decree. Would you be willing to bear witness for me?"

With his Nascent Soul Stage perception, combined with prior intelligence, he had mistaken Qin Xuan for the Daoist.

???

When Su Xiaotai said this, the real Daoist, Lin Feng, was also dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief.

’When did Master ever tell Junior Martial Uncle Su this?’

’He’s looking after the wrong person, isn’t he?!’

Qin Xuan’s mind was in turmoil. She never expected that the enhancement from the Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman could even deceive Su Xiaotai.

But Qin Xuan quickly understood.

’It’s the Dao Rhyme that Venerable Ming River bestowed upon me back in the Vermilion Bird Star Domain!’

Perfect.

’Oh, Liu Mobai, Liu Mobai. Now you’ve fallen right into my hands.’

Qin Xuan reacted instantly. Her expression turned frosty, her gaze as sharp as a blade as she stared straight at Su Xiaotai and snapped coldly:

"You vile Demon! Impersonating Elder Su wasn’t enough, and now you want to deceive me with such clumsy words? Such arrogance! If you have the guts, try summoning that decree!"

Liu Mobai looked at Qin Xuan in shock.

’Wait, if the Chixiao Decree itself appears, my Life-Substitute Gold Scrolls really won’t be enough!’

Su Xiaotai was also stunned by Qin Xuan’s sudden counter-accusation.

Even a dignified Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch like him, who had weathered countless storms, couldn’t immediately grasp what kind of act this was.
