755 The Truth Is Out! (2)

“If you want to poison the County Governor, you don’t need to use a drastic approach. What is needed is to do it in a subtle way.”

“Subtly, you change his environment… And that environment is the humans in the county capital.”

“Subtly, you change the nutrients he needs… When combined with the principles of the Radiant Life Calamity, won’t that be fortune?”

“Let the County Governor slowly absorb it without knowing and influence him from the inside.”

“It’s not that the Deputy Governor changed the County Governor’s state but that the County Governor’s own strength changed his state. What the Deputy Governor did was to create an environment and nutrients that guided his direction.”

Xu Qing’s body trembled slightly and the waves in his mind grew greater and greater.

“Therefore, the Deputy Governor didn’t directly poison the County Governor. He treated the County Governor as a medicinal herb. The target of his poison… is all the humans in the county capital’s territory, which is the environment where the medicinal herb is located!”

“Using harmless and cheap plain pills as a carrier, he infused it with the power of the Radiant Life Calamity, making hundreds of millions of humans consume it over the years. This changed their fortune and altered the nourishment of the County Governor.”

“This is using the fortune of the human race in the county capital to change and influence the County Governor, thereby achieving the goal of poisoning him.”

“Such a method…”

Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried. This train of thought was logical. Everything was completely clear at this moment.

In the past, the empty wish box contained a Radiant Life Calamity Pill. Because it had been stored in the wish box for too long, even though the pill had been taken out for many years, the osmanthus-like smell still lingered and didn’t completely dissipate.

Back then, the mission content was that the human race’s spy in the Holy Wave Race had escaped with a huge secret.

Looking at it now, the true spy should have died. Xu Qing and the others had obtained the empty wish box from the youth who was the son of the spy.

As a result, the classified document 19 was created to provide a foundation for the subsequent investigation into the County Governor’s demise.

It was clear. Everything was clear now.

Xu Qing then thought of D132’s little boy. The other party was transformed from a wisp of fortune in Fenghai County. It had appeared dispirited after the wish box was retrieved.

At that time, Xu Qing felt that the other party was weak and there was something unclean in his body.

However, the little boy quickly recovered, so Xu Qing didn’t think much of it. With the limited information he had at that time, it was difficult for him to piece everything together.

After that, the County Governor died, the Prison Department collapsed, and the little boy disappeared.

Xu Qing thought that it was due to the collapse of the Prison Department, which caused the little boy to dissipate. But now, it seems that this was not the case!

And perhaps the Palace Master, after perfecting the classified document 19, was also investigating this matter. However, unfortunately, he was not omniscient, and time was running out. With the death of the County Governor and the arrival of the war, his efforts were hindered.

In the end, he could only suspect everyone.

Xu Qing’s scalp went numb.

This was especially so when he thought of how countless humans thought that plain pills were a great merit. Moreover, the Deputy Governor had even openly told the answers to the whole world.

However… no one could see the truth from it.

The plain pill was a huge lie!

The Deputy Governor had been openly mocking everyone in Fenghai County!

Lightning bolts continuously exploded in Xu Qing’s mind, and the memories of the Deputy Governor’s gaze during their lesson flashed through his mind.

The gaze that seemed gentle at the time now appeared to contain hidden mockery and a sense of amusement. It was as if, for the Deputy Governor, this was nothing more than a game of riddles.

‘I told you the answer, I told everyone the answer, but how come you still haven’t realized it?’

The magnitude of this revelation was overwhelming, to the point that upon realizing the truth, a sense of clarity and unease surged within Xu Qing.

“Why did the Deputy Governor do this? He and Illuminate…”

Xu Qing mumbled. However, halfway through his sentence, he paused.

“Actually, Chu Tianqun already told me the answer before he died.”

Xu Qing always remembered what Chu Tianqun had told him when he asked him about Purple Green and Night Dove’s whereabouts.

“When you know how to change the color of the sea, you’ll understand everything.”

Xu Qing silently lifted his head and looked at the capital city in the night sky.

“The color of the sea can be easily changed using the method of the Deputy Governor. Just alter the color of the countless rivers that flow into the sea, and gradually, the sea will unknowingly undergo a change in color.”

“This is the answer.”

Xu Qing mumbled.

“Deputy Governor could be Purple Green or Night Dove.”

“It’s him. He poisoned the County Governor.”

“That mysterious man in black who appeared on the battlefield back then wasn’t Marquis Yao. He was the Deputy Governor.”

Xu Qing understood the truth.

But he didn’t know whom he should report this matter to anymore.

The person who asked him to investigate all of this had already passed away.

Currently, the Deputy Governor was the backbone of Fenghai County. All the elders of the county looked up to him, and with the great merit of his plain pill, he has gained the favor of the Seventh Prince and the trust of the common people.

He was like the sun in the sky.

Considering the actions of the Seventh Prince after his arrival, it was not difficult to see that the two of them were clearly cooperating with each other.

“The reason why the white jade hand appeared in the Immortal Forbidden Land was because this was originally a transaction!”

Xu Qing sighed softly and pushed open the Sword Pavilion’s door. He stood at the door and looked at the night sky.

A long time passed, and in the distant sky, a bright light appeared, illuminating the sky.

Its appearance caused dawn to break much faster than before.

As the sky brightened, the earth also resonated with warmth.

At the same time, all the cultivators in Fenghai County received a notice from the Deputy Governor.

“Human Emperor Mystic War has raised the regional treasure that belongs to our human race in the Black Heaven Race’s region 20 hours ago!”
