Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1011 - 1009: The Truth Revealed! [Second Release]

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1009: The Truth Revealed! [Second Release]

"Xiao Yi..."

Zou Shaolong’s face looked ugly as he anxiously transmitted to Xiao Yi in secret, "What exactly is going on here?"

Just yesterday, he was informed by Qiu Yiyun’s report that Xiao Yi only gave Li Jianyang a severe beating, without endangering his life or vital essence. But now, looking at Li Jianyang, he clearly doesn’t have long to live, and moreover, as Qi Bing said, Li Jianyang has been severely poisoned!

Beating the Saint Heir.

There was a reason for this incident, and there’s still room for maneuver.

But if it’s proven that Xiao Yi poisoned Li Jianyang, then there would be no remedy!

After all.

Given Xiao Yi’s identity and strength, beating the Saint Heir, the most people in the holy land would merely lament that Li Jianyang was no match for him.

But poisoning...

The nature of that is completely different! ƒreewebɳovel.com

By then, not to mention Zou Shaolong interfering, even the Saint Lord would find it hard to calm the public outrage.

Qi Bing, feeling confident of victory, showed a face full of sorrow and indignation, stepped forward, and bowed to the Saint Lord, "Saint Lord, please look at Jianyang’s condition. Since he was beaten by Xiao Yi last night, he was sent to me for treatment immediately. Yet, throughout the night, not only has his injury not improved in the slightest, but there are also signs of poisoning, and his life is hanging by a thread!"

Zou Shaolong gritted his teeth and said, "How can you be so sure that the poison in him was administered by Xiao Yi?"

Ge Tianhuang spoke in a heavy tone, "Qi Territory Master, you previously said... right after Xiao Yi beat Li Jianyang, he left, and at that time Li Jianyang wasn’t poisoned. But after being treated at your place for a night, it was discovered that he had poison deep in his marrow. Who knows what happened during that period? Who can be certain that the poison was administered by Xiao Yi?"

"What? According to you guys, could this poison be given by myself? Or am I framing Xiao Yi by planting evidence?"

Qi Bing roared in righteous indignation, with fire practically spewing from his eyes.

The crowd couldn’t help but fall silent.

All the strong practitioners in the Nantian holy land knew that Qi Bing’s position as the regional master was inherited from Li Jianyang’s grandfather. Li Jianyang’s grandfather was not only Qi Bing’s master but also his foster father, affording him great kindness and support.

Ever since the fall of Li Jianyang’s grandparents and parents, Qi Bing has been taking care of him meticulously.

Given these circumstances...

Almost no one would believe that the poison was administered by Qi Bing!

For a moment.

The eyes of the crowd all turned to Xiao Yi, who had become the sole and prime suspect in poisoning Li Jianyang.

Qi Bing squatted beside Li Jianyang, his face filled with pain and worry, and softly asked, "Jianyang, tell everyone, who poisoned you? Tell us the truth..."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Li Jianyang opened his mouth wide but couldn’t make a sound.

Qi Bing pointed at Xiao Yi and said, "Is it him? If he’s the one who poisoned you, blink three times..."

Li Jianyang blinked weakly.

"The murderer is indeed you!"

"Xiao Yi, what do you have to say now?"

Liu Yu sneered viciously, his eyes narrowed as he stared tightly at Xiao Yi in interrogation, "I thought you were just arrogant and domineering, but I never expected you to be so venomously cruel. Saint Heir Li Jianyang bore no grudges against you; even if there was some misunderstanding between you two, you didn’t have to push him to death’s door!"

Hong Sandao sighed softly, thumped to one knee, and pleaded with the Saint Lord, "Please, Saint Lord, punish the murderer severely!"

"Please, Saint Lord, punish the murderer severely!"

The crowd shouted one after another.

The Saint Lord’s face was expressionless, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest of the throne, feeling a massive headache.

In his heart, he did not believe that the grand Buddha King, of all people, would resort to such lowly and despicable means as poisoning.

But now...

All evidence and testimonies pointed towards Xiao Yi.

He was completely defenseless!

Even if he jumped into the Heavenly River, it wouldn’t clear the suspicions against him!

Zou Shaolong anxiously signalled Xiao Yi with his eyes, urging him to speak out in his own defense; while Xiao Yi simply responded with a calming smile, urging to stay calm.

This made Zou Shaolong and Ge Tianhuang and the others grow more anxious internally.

After a brief moment.

Seeing that Xiao Yi kept a smiling face and remained silent, as if watching clowns jumping on a stage, the crowd also grew furious and started harshly berating, "Xiao Yi, can you still laugh at this point? Do you have any humanity left? Jianyang is dying, and it’s all because of you..."

"Are you done talking?" Xiao Yi looked at them and finally responded.

The crowd was taken aback.

Xiao Yi continued, "Since you’re done, then it’s my turn!"

His gaze turned to the Saint Lord.

The Saint Lord nodded.

Xiao Yi calmly walked over to Li Jianyang. Under the astonished eyes of the crowd, he grabbed Li Jianyang’s neck and hoisted the barely breathing Li Jianyang beside him. His fingers tightly clutched around his throat; Li Jianyang’s eyes rolled back as if he could run out of breath at any moment and die.

"Stop it!"

"Do you have any humanity? He’s already in this state, and you’re still torturing him..." Qi Bing and others angrily rebuked.

"Without my permission, he cannot die!"

Xiao Yi confidently smiled and then fiercely punched Li Jianyang’s abdomen. In pain, Li Jianyang howled and spewed out a mouthful of black blood. This blood corroded several large holes into the ground with a hissing sound as it fell. Xiao Yi’s sinister gaze swept over the crowd, "Similarly, if I wanted him dead, there would be no need for poison!"

"..."

The expressions of everyone there changed.

They never imagined that Xiao Yi would be so defiant. Even at such a time, he dared to do such a thing.

Yet, it was precisely this unrestrained action that made Zou Shaolong and others more convinced that the poisoning of Li Jianyang had nothing to do with him. After all, if he truly wanted to kill Li Jianyang, he could have just knocked him out with a punch last night; why bother poisoning him afterward?

Liu Yu coldly said, "Who knows what you’re planning? Perhaps, you’re feigning good intentions while secretly administering the poison..."

"So you’re set on thinking that I’m the one who poisoned him?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Of course!"

"Who else could it be but you?"

At this moment, Xiao Yi was the target of all accusations, with no one to speak in his defense.

However, Xiao Yi ignored the others and looked down at Li Jianyang, who had just been punched by him, showing a playful smile, "I see hatred in your eyes, and discontent. You’ve worked hard to become the Saint Heir; surely you wouldn’t be content to just die in vain, right?"

In his heart, Li Jianyang was screaming: If he could live, who the hell would want to die?

But the problem was...

The poison in him was Forgetful River Mercury!

The legendary incurable poison!

Xiao Yi saw a glimmer of hope flash in his eyes and instantly understood. He then said, "I can cure the poison in your body. In exchange, you must tell us who is responsible for your poisoning! What do you say?"

"..."

Li Jianyang’s pupils suddenly constricted. He wanted to nod, but his physical condition wouldn’t allow it!

Besides, he was poisoned with the incurable Forgetful River Mercury.

There was no hope for him!

Xiao Yi said calmly, "The poison in you is called Forgetful River Mercury. If it were any other healing master, there’d be no chance to save you. But I have a way to deal with this poison... You have three breaths of time to decide whether to give up your life and try the less than one percent chance to drag me down with you, or to preserve your life so that you can be the Saint Heir comfortably in the future..."

These words completely shattered Li Jianyang’s inner resolve.

A bad life is better than a good death.

His pupils wildly contracted, sensing his desperate desire to live. Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I’ll first alleviate some of the poison in you. Once you clear my name, I’ll cure the other half of the poison in your body!"

Liu Yu muttered, "Xiao Yi is so confident. Could it be that he really didn’t poison him?"

"Can he really cure Forgetful River Mercury’s poison?"

Qi Bing pressed his lips firmly together, trying to stay calm, but cold sweat was already forming on his forehead, "Damn it, could he really cure the poison? I don’t believe it. This is Forgetful River Mercury poisoning, even the Saint Lord couldn’t cure it with medicine, this kid must be bluffing!"

But in the next second.

As Xiao Yi took out a pill and fed it to Li Jianyang, he spewed out a cluster of silvery liquid, and his breath also seemed to recover somewhat.

Qi Bing was shaken to his core.

He didn’t even notice his blood corroding the ground beneath him.

He felt a chill run through him: "It’s done for, can this kid really cure Forgetful River Mercury’s poison?"

With a smile, Xiao Yi glanced at Qi Bing and turned back to ask, "Li Jianyang, now you can tell us who really poisoned you!"

That smile, in Li Jianyang’s eyes, was like the smile of a devil.

Like the summoning of the Grim Reaper!

He had no doubts...

If he lied, Xiao Yi would dare to kill him right in front of the Saint Lord.

Under the threat of death.

Li Jianyang took a deep breath and said word by word: "The person who poisoned and harmed me is Qi Bing..."

Boom!

These words exploded like a thunderclap out of a clear sky...
