Chapter 1210: Chapter 1207: Taking the Bla Again Chapter 1210: Chapter 1207: Taking the Bla Again “Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle?” Shen Luo frowned and asked.
“Yes. Originally, the Master decided on this matter. I had no intention to persuade him otherwise or to get involved; I rely wanted to investigate the issue with the Demon Void Earth Dragon. However, as one thing led to another, it turned out that this matter was sowhat related to the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle. Therefore, I went to the Xuan Yang Cave near the Lion King Cave, which is where we normally place the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle. Who would have thought that right after I left, news broke out that the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle was stolen, and naturally, I beca the pri suspect,” Fu Donglai said with a bitter expression.
“If it’s the Sect’s treasured artifact, why isn’t it carried by the three Great Kings at all tis? Why leave it sowhere else, isn’t that just asking for it to be stolen?” After hearing the whole story, Shen Luo was skeptical.
Hearing this, Fu Donglai was montarily stunned, then explained, “Although the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle is a treasured artifact, it normally needs to be nurtured in a place where the Yin-Yang Qi intersects, to increase its power by absorbing the Yin-Yang Dual Qi. That’s why it’s usually stored in the Xuan Yang Cave.”
“I see. But if you’re only a suspect, how did you end up being branded as a traitor?” Shen Luo asked.
“Right at that critical juncture, Xiong Ran, a personal disciple of the Blue-haired Lion King, accused in front of the three Great Kings. He claid he saw playing with the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle in a secluded place,” Fu Donglai said with a wry smile.
“Do you have a grudge with this guy?” Shen Luo asked.
“You could say that. He’s a three-headed fire lion with a cruel and bloodthirsty nature. I stopped him from abusing mortals once and even injured him when I intervened,” Fu Donglai nodded and explained.
“That makes sense. But unless he’s an idiot, he wouldn’t make baseless accusations against you, right? You didn’t actually steal the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle, did you?” Shen Luo stared at him as if scrutinizing him and asked.
Fu Donglai gave him a white look and said, “That’s the bizarre part. He’s absolutely convinced I stole the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle, even going as far as to stake his life on a bet, insisting that the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle was in my storage ring.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo guessed what had happened next.
As expected, Fu Donglai continued, “Under such circumstances, the other two Great Kings pressured to hand over my storage ring. My Master tried to dissuade them with all his might, to no avail. In the end, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle was indeed found in my storage ring.”
“Have you ever lost your storage ring, or has it ever been away from you?” Shen Luo asked.
“Never lost it. And even if it was lost and soone wanted to put things inside, they would have to refine it anew, yet my link to the storage ring wasn’t interrupted before it was handed over for inspection. There was no chance that anyone else had refined it,” Fu Donglai shook his head and said.
“This is indeed strange…” Shen Luo murmured thoughtfully.
Fu Donglai also scratched his head, looking utterly baffled.
“What happened next?” After musing for a long while, Shen Luo seed to have a vague idea but didn’t say it outright, instead continuing his inquiry.
“After the discovery of the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle in my storage ring, the other two Great Kings demanded severe punishnt for . Xiong Ran, the three-headed fire lion, exaggerated the situation, claiming that I had already pledged loyalty to the Great Tang Dynasty Governnt intending to defect with the treasured artifact to offer to the governnt officials in exchange for wealth and power,” Fu Donglai said.
“This guy has a heart as dark as coal, hell-bent on seeing you dead,” Shen Luo sighed.
“Because I am close to the Human Race and advocate for peaceful coexistence among the races of the Three Realms, many in the Sect were dissatisfied with . The Six-tusked Elephant King also bore heavy grudges against because of my performance at the Three Realms Martial Arts Conference. Consequently, nearly everyone called for my execution. In the end, it was my Master’s unwillingness to let die that led him to plead on my behalf and persuade them not to kill ,” Fu Donglai said.
“The death penalty can be avoided, but I’m afraid escaping punishnt is difficult, right?”
Shen Luo knew too well that the Demon Clan was far from being more rciful than the Human Race when it ca to traitors; Fu Donglai must have paid a heavy price to survive.
Fu Donglai tore open his shirt at the chest, exposing his torso for Shen Luo to see.
Shen Luo glanced over and saw seven red spots the size of a little finger’s tip arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper around Fu Donglai’s heart.
Once Fu Donglai started to channel his mana, the seven spots imdiately lit up, each with blood-red charm patterns erging on them, and a strange fluctuation of mana began to spread from there.
Fu Donglai showed a pained expression and imdiately stopped channeling his mana.
Seeing this, Shen Luo’s eyes flashed with a grave light, and he said, “They have nailed Soul-scattering Nails into you?”
“Yes, if these things are not removed within three years,” Fu Donglai nodded and explained, “each ti I use mana, they will be stimulated to operate once and gradually, my three souls and seven spirits will be dissipated by their power until they are completely gone.”
“Having been subjected to such a vicious thod, why don’t you flee this place? If you return to the Great Tang Dynasty Governnt, perhaps Duke Cheng or the National Master might have a way to help you,” Shen Luo said with a frown.
“If I go, I will be confirming the na of a traitor. So I cannot leave; I must stay and investigate the truth,” Fu Donglai shook his head.
“In your current condition, I’m afraid you won’t live to find out the truth,” Shen Luo sighed.
“The situation here is more complicated than I thought; I can’t just walk away,” Fu Donglai said with a smile as he continued, “Right when I was about to make a breakthrough in my investigation, I was targeted for assassination again. Guess what happened?”
Shen Luo looked at his sowhat playful smile and asked uncertainly, “Don’t tell the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle went missing again, and you are the suspect?”
Fu Donglai paused for a mont and then silently nodded.
“You really had it rough, getting frad once wasn’t enough, you had to go through it again,” Shen Luo said sympathetically to Fu Donglai.
“After your analysis, many things seem clearer now. There might be a big problem at Lion Cal Ridge. A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall; Brother Shen, you better leave quickly,” Fu Donglai advised.
“You’re telling to leave? In this situation, if I go, you’ll be left all alone; isn’t that a death sentence?” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow.
“The fact that you and I can et again is already a great fate; how can I drag you into this quagmire? Besides, I’m not so easy to kill,” Fu Donglai laughed.
“Enough with the bravado. The Soul-scattering Nails alone are enough to give you trouble. With here, I can at least help stabilize your condition and slow down the dissipation of your soul,” Shen Luo waved his hand dismissively.
Upon hearing this, Fu Donglai wanted to object, but then he listened as Shen Luo continued, “Besides, I just happen to have sothing I want to investigate.”
“Is it related to Lion Cal Ridge?” Fu Donglai asked, puzzled.
“It’s related to the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle,” Shen Luo’s expression beca stern as he imdiately explained the situation with Wuzhuang View.
“There’s actually such a thing?” Fu Donglai expressed his surprise.
