502 People Will Die Soon
Xu Qing said coldly, “Of course you can’t do it because even the two of us can’t do it. It’s impossible for any forbidden technique to have no traces.”
Xia Qiluo was relieved to hear that. She looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “Liu Sanniang, do you have anything else left to say? Are you prepared for the consequences of slandering a duke and a venerable abbot?”
Wu Changxian was extremely anxious. “Well, this…”
How did things end up like this?
!!
Xia Qiluo looked at Wu Changxian. “Madam Xu was deceived by Liu Sanniang to dig Duke Xu’s grave. She was being used unscrupulously. The instigator should be the one to blame. Don’t you think so, Lord Wu?”
With so many crimes pinned on her, Liu Sanniang would most likely die.
Wu Changxian looked anxious and replied with difficulty. “Yes…”
He had to admit it even if he did not want to because what Xia Qiluo said made sense.
Wu Changxian looked at Liu Sanniang. “This matter is very important. I have to detain Miss Liu first and report it to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make a decision.”
Xia Qiluo’s eyes darkened. “I’ll report it to my father as well.”
Even at such a critical moment, Liu Sanniang could still remain composed. Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth. She didn’t believe that when Liu Sanniang was taken to the guillotine, she could still be so calm.
Madam Xu looked at Liu Sanniang and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
With Xu Qing and Xu Ran around, Wu Changxian felt extremely pressured. The Seventh Princess also hated Liu Sanniang to the extreme.
In the throne room, Xu Ran and Xu Qing stood on Xia Qiluo’s side. As Wu Changxian reported the ins and outs of the case, the emperor’s expression darkened.
Xia Qiluo said angrily, “Father, we can’t let her off so easily. Many people are watching this case. If we don’t kill Liu Sanniang, how can we give Madam Xu and her son the justice they deserve? How can Master Yuan Hui prove his innocence?”
The emperor only felt a headache coming on.
He was hesitant to make a decision. That day, he saw with his own eyes that the sky was filled with an evil aura. If he really killed Liu Sanniang, who else could deal with the evil?
But now, if he did not kill her, he would not be able to appease the people.
Xu Ran looked at Xia Bingguang and said calmly, “Liu Sanniang calls herself the True Buddha. Since ancient times, the True Buddha will only appear to save the world when it’s in chaos. Now that the world is stable and peaceful, the True Buddha won’t descend into the world.”
Xia Bingguang was not happy that his thoughts had been seen through. His expression was cold, and no one could guess his mood.
Xia Bingguang pondered for a while before he slowly said, “I will give the Ministry of War a month to investigate this case thoroughly. If nothing can be found to prove Liu Sanniang’s innocence, she will be sentenced to death.”
Although Xia Qiluo was not happy with the emperor’s decision, she wasn’t worried about Liu Sanniang making a comeback. In at most a month, Liu Sanniang’s head would separate from her body.
Wu Changxian’s heart was heavy. He knew that this would be the outcome. Xia Qiluo would seize every chance to make Liu Sanniang suffer.
Xia Qiluo thought for a moment and said, “Father, Duchess Xu was deceived to do that kind of horrendous thing. She’s not to be blamed. Please show mercy.”
Xia Bingguang did not want to make a mountain out of a molehill either. He said, “I will not blame her wrongdoing this time, but should something like that ever happen again, I will not be merciful.”
Xia Qiluo smiled. “Father, you are benevolent.”
Xia Bingguang looked at Xu Ran and Xu Qing and said, “Both masters are your shifu. You must treat them well.”

Xia Qiluo held Xu Ran and Xu Qing’s arms. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll definitely treat them with the utmost cordiality.”
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were detained, while Madam Xu was released. Yuan Hui also returned to Jingen Temple from the Ministry of War.
One month was not a long time. In people’s opinion, there was no need to investigate anything further. With the interference of the elders of the Cloud Breaking Sect, Liu Sanniang would not be able to create any waves.
What awaited her was nothing but death.
When Xia Hongming received the news, he was shocked. He thought that Liu Sanniang would walk away unscathed like before, but he did not expect her to lose. She only had a month to live.
Xia Hongming quickly went to look for Wu Ju and told him about it.
Wu Ju said with a calm expression, “One month is enough.”
Xia Hongming looked at Wu Ju and realized that he was neither shocked nor surprised. Xia Hongming asked. “Can Miss Liu still make a comeback?”
Wu Ju smiled. “Miss Liu was right to begin with. Of course, she can make a comeback.”
Xu Lin was the son of Yuan Hui. No matter how he covered it up, the truth would remain unchanged. Yuan Hui would not tolerate Xu Lin’s existence.
Xia Hongming frowned. “Could it be that the demon spirit in Xu Lin’s body hasn’t been removed yet? How is that possible? The one who exorcized it was Xu Ran, the grand elder of the Cloud Breaking Sect.”
The smile on Wu Ju’s face slowly disappeared. He said unhurriedly, “Wait a while, and we’ll see.”
Xia Hongming wanted to ask more, but Wu Ju said coldly, “Third Prince, please leave. I’m going into seclusion to cultivate the Dao.”
Xia Hongming had never been chased away by anyone before, but when he saw Wu Ju’s cold expression, he put away his dissatisfaction and smiled. “In that case, I won’t disturb you.”
Xia Hongming turned around and left. Wu Ju slowly walked to the door and closed it. His clear eyes were filled with endless coldness. At this moment, he looked nothing like someone from the Buddist Sect.
If there was a psychic present, they would be able to sense the endless black aura and evil.
Wu Ju sat cross-legged on the couch. He lowered his eyes and gently spinned the prayer beads in his hand. Beside him, many spiritual creatures appeared. They leaned against Wu Ju. Wu Ju reached out and gently stroked them. He muttered. “Soon… It’ll be their turn.”
The spiritual creatures gradually surrounded Wu Ju, just like how they protected him back then.
…
When Wu Changxian came out of the palace, he immediately went to the prison. After explaining with a heavy mood, he saw that Liu Sanniang was still unmoved. He couldn’t help but ask. “Miss Liu, why aren’t you worried at all?”
Wu Changxian wondered if Liu Sanniang did not understand what he meant.
Liu Sanniang looked at Wu Changxian indifferently and said, “Lord Wu, you have to be prepared. People will die in the capital soon.”
