C9 The Imperial Advisor Saved the Situation

A splash of cold water immediately woke the unconscious Chen Xiaowu up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him was Dugu Jian, who had attempted to kill him two months ago.

It was over. This time, even Mo Yan wasn't here. He was dead for sure.

The System reminded him at the right time. Host, you are already dead. It's just that the Underworld has this quest that allows you to stand here.

Chen Xiaowu wanted to cry but had no tears. He couldn't help but ask the System for help. "Brother, I can't die before completing the mission. Hurry up and help me think of a way!

The System had wasted his time. "The System only manages the development of the main storyline. As for the survival of the host's new body, it is not under the jurisdiction of the System.

Then what's the use of updating?

Chen Xiaowu was so angry that he wanted to slap the system. He originally thought that this voice could save him, but now it seemed that it was here to watch the fire from the other side of the mountain.

"Previously, it was Loong Yin who saved you. Today, I want to see how you are going to escape."

Dugu Jian's eyes were fierce. He exerted a little strength in his hand, and Chen Xiaowu's chest was instantly suppressed. He coughed out a pool of blood.

"Lord Alliance Chief, please let this little one go..."

Chen Xiaowu quickly begged for mercy in a low voice. His internal organs were damaged. Without the protection of his inner energy, his consciousness gradually became blurry.

Dugu Jian was unmoved. His eyes were extremely cold. "My things. Anyone who dares to covet them will end up dead!"

Chen Xiaowu almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this. If it was not because of the disparity in strength, he really wanted to shout in Dugu Jian's ear.

This young master is now an appointed Viceroy. I don't like men, and I have no interest in wasting my time with a pervert like you!

Of course, I'm just thinking about it.

Dugu Jian took a bag of silver needles from the disciples and waved his hand. No one could see his movements clearly, but the silver needles had all pierced into Chen Xiaowu's face.

It was so painful that Chen Xiaowu woke up alive.

At this time, there was a man in a Taoist robe standing at the entrance of the dungeon. When he saw the situation, he immediately flew in front of Chen Xiaowu and stood in front of him.

"Stop!"

"Yuu Qing?"

Dugu Jian panicked when he saw the newcomer. "Listen to me. It's not what you see..."

State Advisor, Yuu Qing, was dressed in a Taoist robe. He looked cold and aloof, like a celestial being. There was a kind of coldness around him that was hard to get close to. He scolded Dugu Jian coldly.

"Enough, Dugu Jian. All along, I have treated you as my own brother. I never thought that the dignified leader of the Martial Arts Alliance would actually be so despicable behind your back!"

Dugu Jian broke down on the spot when he saw that his beloved hated him deeply. "Yuu Qing, I really know my mistake. I promise I won't do anything in the future!"

Yuu Qing shot a cold glance at Dugu Jian and said solemnly.

"Dugu Jian, Lee Yuhan is now the Viceroy sent by the Emperor. If you want to kill an important official of the Imperial Court, you are going against the Emperor."

Dugu Jian's heart was stifled. He clearly understood the meaning of Yuu Qing's words. He was planning to completely cut ties with him.

"Yuu Qing, I definitely did not go against the Emperor. I swear that it was because this bastard wanted to do something bad to you that I had the intention to kill him."

Yu Qing coldly harrumphed, "Stop quibbling. You went into seclusion for two months and deliberately destroyed the dam by the river to lure me to Su State to pray for blessings. These are the facts of your attempt to rebel."

... ""

Dugu Jian was at a loss for words. He tugged at Yuu Qing's sleeves and was so anxious that he could not utter a single word. He had completely lost his usual majestic aura.

Yuu Qing broke free of Dugu Jian's hand and freed Chen Xiaowu from the torture instrument. He carried the half-dead Chen Xiaowu and immediately moved ten meters away from Dugu Jian.

"Dugu Jian, it's not too late for you to turn back now. Give me the allocation book of the dam by the river. Perhaps it can reduce your crimes."

"Yuu Qing, I did not do this." Dugu Jian explained. " I sent someone to capture Lee Yuhan, "he said. I really don't know anything."

"Now that things have come to this, do you think you can lie to me again?"

Yuu Qing dragged Chen Xiaowu out of the dungeon step by step. He stared at Dugu Jian warily. "I was wrong about you. From now on, you have done well."

Yuu Qing stood on his tiptoes and jumped onto the roof. After a while, he disappeared from Dugu Jian's sight.

The church members who were on standby could not help but ask, "Alliance Master, do you need me to follow State Advisor?"

"No need." "No," Dugu Jian said. "Go to the dam and check it out. Report to me if anything happens."

"Yes, Alliance Master!"

Dugu Jian thought for a moment and selected what had happened in the past two months. He quickly made a decision.

It was not difficult to connect the key clues. He had planned everything before he went into seclusion.

The Beggar Clan, which had been bribed, first handed Lee Yuhan and the substitute to Sect Master Zhang. After he received the news, he was furious and wished that he could kill them as soon as possible.

However, he never would have thought that all of this was a carefully planned death trap.

So that was how it was... What a good Su Province's Prefectural Governor, Xu Huawen, actually dared to scheme against him!

No wonder seven days ago, the government used the dam by the river as an excuse to drive away all the civilians in the city.

Now, the spearhead of all the incidents was leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, who had just been appointed.
