Chapter 169: Chapter 66: I Have the Best Relationship With Him [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Here you go."

In the room, Lin Bei suddenly unbuckled his belt and handed it to Chu Liang.

"What for?"

Chu Liang, who was taking things seriously, was instantly confused.

"You’ve tied him up, lit the candle. It just feels like something is missing without a whip." Lin Bei said, "Use this as a substitute."

"..." Chu Liang was speechless at this pervert.

Lin Bei modestly observed the pervert in front of him.

"This isn’t that kind of candle..." Chu Liang felt compelled to explain, "This is a Heart Reflecting Candle that can detect whether he’s lying."

Speaking, he placed the black candle on the table, allowing the candlelight to cast a long shadow of the man on the wall.

The man, in his thirties or forties, was short and dark-skinned, currently tied to the ground, with a panicked look on his face.

Upon hearing Chu Liang say that this was a Heart Reflecting Candle, not for that kind of use. He first let out a sigh of relief, but then grew nervous again.

"Now, I ask you, did you come with the man who died on the ground? What are you here for?" Chu Liang said.

"I don’t know..." The man shook his head immediately.

"You have the right to remain silent." Chu said, "But once the officials come, I’ll throw you to the Golden Fur Beast. For it, eating one or two makes no difference."

"No, no, no!" Upon hearing these words, the man instantly panicked, "I was just... I was just passing by, and saw the spirit beast eating a man..."

Whoosh.

As soon as these words came out, the Heart Reflecting Candle suddenly flickered without any wind, with his shadow on the wall appearing vague and strange, which lasted for a while!

"I suppose you realize you lied, right?" Chu Liang’s face turned cold.

"I..." The man gritted his teeth, fell silent for a while, then said, "Actually, we came to steal the spirit beast, thinking it’s valuable, and wanted to..."

Whoosh.

The Heart Reflecting Candle started flickering wildly again.

Lin Bei frowned and said, "Maybe we should just feed him to the Golden Fur Beast right now. It’s been hungry for a day, and I don’t think the one just now was enough."

"Please don’t!" The man immediately begged, "I am the only son for nine generations in my family, I haven’t had the chance to have a descendant, you can’t kill me!"

Whoosh.

The Heart Reflecting Candle started to flicker again.

"..." Lin Bei was speechless: "You’re even lying when begging for mercy."

"No, I didn’t." The man awkwardly paused, then said, "It’s just that my neighbor has a son who is actually mine. I usually don’t think too much about it... Anyway, he’s not going to support me when I get old..."

Whoosh.

The Heart Reflecting Candle started flickering again.

"Huh?" The man was startled, pondered for a moment, then his face changed colors, "Could it be that Widow Lin’s child is mine? I never expected that!"

Right, you really deserve to die... Chu Liang thought bitterly.

"Truly a role model for our generation." Lin Bei also lamented.

"I will give you another chance, stop wasting my Heart Reflecting Candle." Chu Liang threatened, "If you tell another lie, I will feed you to the Golden Fur Beast immediately."

"I..." The man stammered for a moment, then dejectedly conceded, "Alright."

Only then did he start to tell the truth.

It turned out that he and the dead man were local ruffians in Yanbo City, usually intimidating widows and desecrating the tomb of extinct families, always scheming to make money.

Some time ago, an elegantly dressed old man came to them and asked them to help steal a spirit beast.

Although they were daring, they did not dare to take such a task. It was the old man who offered a hefty reward, promised to give them half more upon success, and brought out a brocade box.

They just had to unchain the Golden Fur Beast, open this box, and the beast would docilely follow them.

Money moved their hearts. Given how seemingly easy it was, the two agreed and sneaked over at night. The Golden Fur Beast did not act fierce when its chains were undone, as it did not sense any hostility.

But as soon as one of the ruffians opened the brocade box, a flash of white light popping out, shaped like a beast’s head, swiftly bit off his companion’s head! The white light then dispersed, leaving a huge hole behind!

It was then that the Golden Fur Beast let out a roar!

When people were attracted, he naturally did not dare to admit he came to steal the spirit beast and planned to extort some money, so he falsely screamed that his companion was bitten to death by the Golden Fur Beast.

The Heart Reflecting Candle remained still.

"So, that’s what happened..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang fell into thought, it was clear that someone was trying to set him up. That person must have calculated that these hooligans would blame the Golden Fur Beast for their companion’s death, hence implementing such a poisonous plot.

He quickly blew out the Heart Reflecting Candle’s flame, half of the day had passed, and there was only half of the original candle left, making matters worse.

Regardless of the person causing trouble behind the scenes, he needed to deal with The Government Office first. Even as disciples of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, letting a Spirit Beast harm human life was no trivial matter, now that he knew the truth, he could finally relax.

...

Upon opening the gate, he saw the impressive large figure of the Golden Fur Beast.

Earlier, he had asked it to watch the gate, and it indeed guarded the place diligently. It couldn’t be denied that it was a good guard.

As for The Government Office’s people, they had arrived earlier.

A demon beast harming humans was a major case, a team of Martial Artists from the government hurried over as soon as they got the news, these men must have been soldiers guarding the city gate, only then could they have arrived so quickly.

Seeing the Fifth Realm Golden Fur Beast, they all felt somewhat apprehensive, a group of people circled around it but didn’t dare to approach.

In a large city like Yanbo City, there wouldn’t be a lack of experts to guard it, they were probably waiting.

Chu Liang revealed a smile, stepping forward he said: "Gentlemen, the matter has been clarified. These two were manipulated by a cunning person to frame my Spirit Beast. Their death has nothing to do with us."

Despite his words, not a single person relaxed.

You had just dragged the victims, tied them up like that into a room, using a candle and whip for a long time, and now you have changed your story... Any way you look at this, it seems like intimidation, doesn’t it?

"Don’t move rashly. Wait until General and City Warden arrive, they will make a judgment!" An officer who looked like a small team leader stepped out and shouted.

The Yu Dynasty had always treated cultivators and suspicious cases this way, because even if the Imperial Court had many cultivators, they were never enough for each city.

They can only deal with such cases later.

Even after the incident had happened, they would send main forces to handle it, being extremely harsh during the investigation. Due to the harsh realities of the world, this was already the most that the courts could do.

Unable to save your life, but they will definitely do their best to help you take revenge, only in this way can they deter the Evil Demons with ill intentions.

The general was the martial officer defending Yanbo City, and the City Warden Official was a civil servant, usually being a Confucian Taoist Cultivator who graduated from a large academy.

Almost just as his voice faded, a howling wind echoed from the distant horizon.

The military and imperial scholar arrived hand in hand.

"Who dares to cause trouble outside Yanbo City!"

With a loud thud, a burly man clad in armor landed heavily, his eyebrows slanted upward and round eyes, appearing extremely brave and fierce.

"Golden Fur Beast?"

The other was a thin middle-aged man in a scholar’s robe, his face white and wisp of beard, recognizing the Golden Fur Beast at first glance, his expression immediately turned serious.

These two were respectively the Fifth Realm Martial Artist and the Fifth Realm Confucian Cultivator. They should be the highest power in Yanbo City. If the Cultivation was higher, they would have to be transferred from the city seat or Yu Capital City.

If they wanted to capture an escaping Fifth Realm Spiritual Beast, it might not be easy for them.

"Esteemed Officials! Please listen to my explanation!" Chu Liang immediately cried out loudly, to steady their reactions, then he repeated his earlier explanations once more.

"Is that so?" The general frowned, "Master Du, what do you think?"

The City Warden looked around and said, "To verify if he is lying or not is actually not difficult. Since the victim’s soul is not yet fully dissipated, we can check if any resentment has attached itself to this spirit beast."

"Then I’ll have to trouble you to make the move, I’m too simple minded to understand these things." The general chuckled.

"Leave it to me. Martial Arts and Confucianism each have their own strengths. General Li’s brave tactics are renown in the military, you are not a simple person." The City Warden Official named Du politely replied, turning back to flatter him.

"No, no, no." General Li shook his head, "I’m very simple."

"..." City Warden Du pursed his lips, seemingly speechless, he turned around and started casting a spell, pressing lightly towards the ground.

Boom——

A gust of wind rippled out like ripples, soon enveloping the entire inn. And godly soul-like threads were starting to gather from all directions.

Chu Liang could see that he was gathering the soul of the deceased, which scattered at the time of death, this ability seemed somewhat similar to the technique of summoning people by calling their souls, used by Shang Shuwen earlier, just that it targeted the godly spirit.

Watching as the soul of the deceased gathered bit by bit, not even a trace attached to the Golden Fur Beast, City Warden Du gradually relaxed.

This young man who could afford a Golden Fur Beast, was likely a disciple of certain Immortal Sect or a child from an aristocratic family. Either way, for them, it was a tricky existence. If it turned out that the Golden Fur Beast did indeed kill someone, they would definitely have to deal with it, which would inevitably cause some trouble.

If they could prove the Golden Fur Beast’s innocence at this moment, they could relax a little.

Thinking of this, he turned to Chu Liang and Lin Bei and asked, "Which Immortal Sect are you guys disciples of?"

"We are both disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect." Chu Liang answered. "We take it upon ourselves to eradicate demons and uphold justice."

"Shu Mountain?" City Warden Du suddenly said, "Shu Mountain’s Yunyao Peak Master, Shang Shuwen, was once my classmate and senior brother, do you know him?"

"Ah." Chu Liang’s face immediately showed a look of surprise, "So, you are Uncle Master Shang’s classmate... I get along best with him!"
