Chapter 1372: Chapter 63: Comforting Ning (Added for Alliance Hierarch Chen Zeqing!)
In the Zheng Sheng Hall specially constructed by Jiang Wang, a transcendent power defense map of Sunshine County was hidden in the mechanism of one of the chairs.
What does this mean?
What does Jiang Qingyang intend?
In the world of the transcendent, due to the existence of various transcendent means, Dao Techniques can be broken, Magic Artifacts can be eroded, and even the slightest fluctuation of Path Origin can be captured. On the battlefield, sometimes the most primitive means of communication are the most reliable. The most trustworthy messenger is always a person who has undergone harsh training.
Outside the battlefield, the transmission of intelligence sometimes follows the same principle.
What is apparent at this moment is an intelligence leak incident exposed before everyone.
Involving the transcendent power defense of an entire county, this could be deemed a quite severe intelligence leak incident!
The location is within the domain of Green Sheep Town, Funing Mountain, Zheng Sheng Hall.
Jiang Wang could not shirk the blame!
At the moment Ma Xiong clearly saw the sheepskin parchment before him, instantly grasping its vital point. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
From among the crowd behind him, Fan Qingqing, born among the sea folk, suddenly raised her hand!
Instantly, giant waves surged into the sky, the waves like a coiling dragon, crashing into the surrounding Rain-slicing Army soldiers, sending them reeling, while she soared upward, flying westward.
She was taking a risky gamble.
And in this direction, was the closest to the border of Li Country!
At this juncture, Zhang Weiyu merely let out a cold snort: "And you still want to leave?"
One hand still holding up the sheepskin parchment, the other reached forward. freёwebnoѵel.com
Four beams of starlight descended from the distant Star Vault.
A white starlight, like a blade, sliced over Fan Qingqing’s head, immediately severing her connection to the Inner Mansion.
A yellow starlight blocked her path horizontally, instantly expanding like a high wall, indestructible, standing in front of Fan Qingqing.
A blue starlight turned into a cord, slithering like a dragon, making several loops around her, binding her tightly on the spot.
Zhang Weiyu, with a flick of his hand, dragged Fan Qingqing back, causing her to heavily crash at the forefront of the Zheng Sheng Hall!
And there was a red starlight, which fell upon the sky-high waves, sweeping them away, turning them back into vitality.
Ma Xiong’s eyes narrowed, of course, he recognized this as the secret technique Zhang Weiyu was renowned for.
What he hadn’t expected was that against an Inner Mansion Realm like Fan Qingqing, he would resort to such means, indicating the grudge harbored within his heart!
And the result was, with one move, Fan Qingqing was subdued!
Zhang Weiyu ignored the fallen Fan Qingqing and continued looking at Ma Xiong: "Chief Ma, why don’t you answer me?"
At this point, playing dumb was no longer an option, Ma Xiong stated matter-of-factly: "This indeed is the Sunshine County transcendent power defense map."
"Then why does it appear here?" Zhang Weiyu asked as he shifted his gaze to Zhongxuan Sheng: "Son of Chongxuan, could you perhaps offer some explanation on behalf of Jiang Qingyang?"
Zhongxuan Sheng remained silent.
Zhang Weiyu smirked slightly.
At this point, unveiling his trump card, he seized control of the situation, especially seeing this sharp-tongued fat man also at a loss for words, a sense of pleasure was indeed difficult to describe.
He looked down at Fan Qingqing: "Or do you have something to explain?"
With all her resistance dismantled, Fan Qingqing was pale and silent.
"It’s fine if you don’t speak." Zhang Weiyu chuckled: "I believe Chief Ma has plenty of methods to make someone talk."
He asked Ma Xiong: "Am I right?"
Ma Xiong could only reply: "It is my duty, there is no evading it."
What means does the Qi country’s green badge have to make people speak? It’s a question many dare not think of.
Fan Qingqing’s eyes noticeably filled with terror.
Zhang Weiyu slowly walked up to her, squatting halfway, shaking the sheepskin parchment before her eyes: "I really can’t bear to see Chief Ma work hard, nor can I stand a tragedy. Why don’t you explain it yourself? How do you connect with Diao Hai Building and how much Qi country intelligence have you passed on to them?"
Ma Xiong’s heart trembled!
He certainly remembered the turbulent rumors flooding Linyi City during this period.
Some spicy tales, colleagues had even discussed with him quietly.
But as a Grade-4 green badge, he knew very well, among the multitude of accusations piled on Jiang Wang, only three were fatal.
Firstly, colluding with the remnants of the Yang family, secondly, colluding with the Equality Country, and thirdly, colluding with Hell Has No Door.
Any one of these three matters, if evidence were found, Jiang Wang would have no chance of turning back.
Other than these, accusations of oppressing men and oppressing women, etc., had no lethality whatsoever and couldn’t overthrow someone as talented as Jiang Wang.
What’s clear is that the false intelligence initially designed by Zhongxuan Sheng revolved around Equality Country.
And Zhang Weiyu merely feigned being deceived.
He came to Green Sheep Town, not because he believed in Zhongxuan Sheng’s willing-to-bite false information, but because he found a fourth deadly point not present in the rumors —
Jiang Wang’s collusion with Diao Hai Building!
This indeed was beyond imagination.
But when connected to Fan Qingqing’s background, everything seemed traceable!
Fan Qingqing finally spoke: "I..."
"Wait." Zhang Weiyu interrupted her: "You can skip those previous questions for now. Let’s first answer the question Song of Chongxuan is most concerned about."
He pointed toward Zhongxuan Sheng, continuing to ask: "How long has Jiang Qingyang been transmitting intelligence to Diao Hai Building?"
His gaze was tightly fixated on Fan Qingqing, full of oppressive sharpness.
It was only at this moment that he revealed his control over the situation, demonstrating why he could compete for the position of Beiyar Commander!
"Ridiculous!" Zhongxuan Sheng chose this moment to retort: "Can Jiang Qingyang be held responsible for every single person in his fief? Three years ago, when one of your guards got into an argument while returning to his hometown and impulsively killed someone, why didn’t I see you serve his sentence?"
Zhang Weiyu looked at Zhongxuan Sheng.
After all, from beginning to end, he was the real opponent.
And Fan Qingqing wasn’t even worth mentioning.
To bring up a matter from three years ago offhandedly was enough evidence that this seemingly harmless fat young master had studied him countless times in secret.
But Zhang Weiyu, at this time, only felt excited.
Defeating such an opponent yields a sense of achievement!
"Who is Fan Qingqing a pawn for? Whose territory is this? Who requested the construction of Zheng Sheng Hall and why specifically build it in such a originally barren mountain place? Can you explain? Can you explain everything? Can you make it clear?!"
Zhang Weiyu fired off questions one after another, his momentum rising with each, ultimately standing up to face Zhongxuan Sheng: "Even if I believe it, will the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall believe it? Will the Son of Heaven believe it? A person that Jiang Qingyang personally brought back from overseas, treated as a confidant, stationed in his fief, colludes with Diao Hai Building, secretly passing on critical military intelligence. Jiang Wang himself was entirely unaware? Are you trying to fool anyone with that?"
He seemed already envisioning the dejected expression on the expressionless fat man in front of him.
What ancestral reputation, what generational shade.
Untouchable!
But then, a voice said: "Lord Zhang, indeed Lord Jiang was unaware of this matter!"
At this, everyone turned to see only the thin, frail figure, the weak pavilion head of Green Sheep Town, once again stepping forward, standing in front of Zhang Weiyu.
"I’ve tolerated you many times already." Zhang Weiyu looked coldly at this insignificant role: "Still daring to speak recklessly, don’t blame me for being rude. You shameless bedclimber! Only because Jiang Qingyang isn’t picky did you get the chance to act arrogant!"
Dugu Xiao’s figure swayed.
The word "shameless" pierced her deepest wound, the most unspeakable pain.
She thought she had completely escaped from her past.
She thought she had become a Transcendent Cultivator, a respectable person!
Was it not true?
Was she still, in the eyes of these significant figures from Linzi, the same bruised maidservant who could be bought and sold at will, insulted at will, trampled at will?
But there she stood, her expression very composed.
She merely asked: "Esteemed sir, can I not present evidence if I have it?"
