Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tan Tianxing did not make this matter clear!
State Perceptor Zhang was also just asking.
It should be Tan Tianxing, then!
However, what about the aftermath?
Tan Tianxing and Chu Bai were not in a hurry to expose themselves!
It was because they were waiting!
The Heavenly Dragon Army would need some time.
“That’s not what I meant. Everyone is a suspect! But in this matter, who has the greatest motive? Everyone, what do you think?”
State Preceptor Zhang looked at everyone.
They did not know what to say.
Tan Tianxing said lightly, “This matter is the simplest. Whoever came into contact with the wine did it. It’s not difficult to investigate this matter. As for whether there are more people behind this, we can find out by following the clues.”
Why did everyone feel that it was not Tan Tianxing after listening to his words?
Everyone was a little confused.
“This poison isn’t fatal.”
Venerable Yan said indifferently after checking a person’s pulse.
“Moreover, even if I and the rest of us have been poisoned, it won’t have any effect on us. The impact won’t be too great, and we’ll naturally recover after the effects of the poison pass. It seems that someone doesn’t want His Majesty’s birthday banquet to go on smoothly, so they deliberately came to ruin it!” At first, they suspected that it was Tan Tianxing.
However, after Venerable Yan examined the poison, they felt that it did not seem like it.
If it was Tan Tianxing, what was the point of poisoning the people from the major families and forces who came to participate?
To Tan Tianxing, killing the emperor and the royal family was more meaningful!
Of course, if it was because he just wanted to mess with the emperor and make his birthday banquet less enjoyable, Venerable Yan felt that it was unnecessary.
It was indeed possible that he wanted to take revenge for Tan Xingxing and mess with the emperor.
It was meaningful, but it would not affect them much.
“Investigate! Strictly investigate!”
Chu Bai scolded.
Damn it!
Acting was actually quite enjoyable.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
More and more people began to show symptoms of poisoning.
This birthday banquet could not continue.
“Do the people outside have symptoms of being poisoned?”
Chu Bai asked.
“No, only the main hall.”
Chu Bai nodded. “Then it seems like the problem lies with the two jars of wine.” “Your Majesty! If this matter is handed over to me, 1’11 definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.”
State Preceptor Zhang said.
“Alright! The state preceptor will investigate!”
The state preceptor felt that either Tan Tianxing or someone else was involved.
However, it did not affect him much!
To cause the greatest impact, one had to target him, Prime Minister Li, Venerable Yan, and the experts of the royal family.
What kind of impact was this?
It was just a small matter.
At this moment, a person who was not that powerful in the royal family sat there with an ugly expression. He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
The table was covered in his blood!
“What happened?”
This sudden scene stunned everyone!
“What happened? Can this poison affect dark demon experts?”
An expert shouted.
“No!”
Prime Minister Li frowned.
“It’s not the same poison. Other people who were poisoned did not show this kind of symptom. No one else vomited blood.”
The expert who was spurting out blood said with an ugly expression, “This poison… is extremely poisonous!”
The expressions of those experts also turned ugly.
What was going on?
Were the ones who were poisoned not the ones with low cultivation?
Why was the royal family poisoned?
Although the members of the royal family had drunk the poisoned wine, the poison should not affect them much.
More and more people spat out blood.
Upon closer inspection, the blood was black.
Their health bars were dropping very quickly.
Of course, this was within Chu Bai’s expectations.
The first person to vomit blood saw his HP bar dropping at a thousandth of a second.
It would take about 1,000 seconds to poison him to death.
It had only been ten minutes.
Those who were of a higher rank than him did not lose health so quickly.
“What poison is this? Where did they get it?”
At this moment, State Preceptor Zhang, Venerable Yan, and the others were all worried!
If that person only poisoned those people, it would not have much of an impact. However, if the members of the royal family were poisoned as well, then there would probably be no peace tonight!
More and more members of the royal family began to vomit blood.
The lower their grade, the more blood they vomited.
“It’s His Majesty’s wine.”
An expert shouted.
He took out the silver needle, which turned black.
They might not have eaten the food, but they had definitely drank the wine.
“What?!”
Everyone revealed an expression of disbelief.
“His Majesty’s wine?”
They looked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai had already exchanged glances with Tan Tianxing.
Tan Tianxing gave Chu Bai a ‘one’ sign, meaning that he needed enough time for one incense stick to burn. He wanted Chu Bai to drag this out for another incense stick’s time before he could lay his cards on the table!
Chu Bai knew that it would be best to wait for those experts to be poisoned before Tan Tianxing revealed his cards.
If he did not lay his cards on the table, someone would really dare to do something!
“Impudent!”
Chu Bai shouted angrily.
“Do you think I poisoned all of your wine?”
State Preceptor Zhang hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you’re naturally not related to this. However, Your Majesty, who has come into contact with this wine before? I’m afraid the person who poisoned us is the same person who poisoned the rest. It’s better to find out who it is from Your Majesty’s side.” “Concubine Leng and I were the ones who brought out the wine,” said Chu Bai.
Plop!
Imperial Concubine Leng knelt on the ground.
“Your Majesty, it’s not me.”
“I know it’s not you, but I asked you to take out the wine early today. After such a long time, who could have come into contact with it? I suspect that someone poisoned it during this period of time.”
State Preceptor Zhang said, “Your Majesty, I’m afraid it’s not that simple. The person who poisoned us has a clear motive. Moreover, they might have known that Your Majesty wanted us to drink this wine. Who else knows about this?” Chu Bai looked at Imperial Concubine Leng.
“Who did you tell?”
“Your Majesty, I… I had mentioned it to several of my personal palace’s maids.”
This time, State Preceptor Zhang and the others had a headache.
The scope had expanded again.
“Now, you don’t have to doubt me, right?” Tan Tianxing stood up.”
“Don’t let anyone go out!”
Chu Bai shouted.
State Preceptor Zhang also spat out a mouthful of blood.
“This poison…”
He was shocked.
He thought that the poison would not affect him, but he did not expect the poison to be so strong that it could even affect him.
Moreover, when the poison took effect, he could feel how terrifying and intense the poison was!
Since State Preceptor Zhang was poisoned, almost no one in the entire royal family could escape. They were basically all poisoned.
After a short while…
Black blood flowed out from the corner of Venerable Yan’s mouth!
“What?!”
Venerable Yan’s expression changed!
Was he poisoned too?
This poison actually had an effect on him!?
“Tan Tianxing! You’re so sinister!”
Venerable Yan pointed at Tan Tianxing and roared.
Obviously, Tan Tianxing was the only one who did not show any signs of poisoning.. Who else could it be?
