200: Chapter 190 200: Chapter 190 Su Chang’an whispered a few words to Ye Tian on the spot, and Ye Tian nodded to Su Chang’an.
Su Chang’an spoke up, “Just now, the Holy Pavilion provided a kind of antidote flower, they offered it unconditionally to save people, and now we must go into the city to rescue them.”
“Is it really true?
Why didn’t they offer it before?
Could there be some ulterior motive?” someone questioned skeptically.
“Yeah, we’ve been busy for so long, exerted so much effort; why didn’t that person step forward earlier?”
Hearing one skeptical voice after another, Su Chang’an’s gentle face furrowed in a frown.
Was it wrong to save lives?
“Lord Qianchen, let’s hurry in to save them; the people inside don’t know if they’re dead or alive.” Hua Sheng, as a physician, did everything in his power to save lives; their thoughts were different from others.
As long as they could save people, everything else could be overlooked.
“Right, let’s go in and save them first,” Xuanyuan Jie also said.
“Jie, I’ll go with you,” said a red-dressed woman, Xuanyuan Mengting, a daughter from the Xuanyuan Clan.
“Mengting, you stay here.
It’s dangerous inside, the Elder and I can handle it.” Xuanyuan Jie did not agree with Xuanyuan Mengting coming along, as her cultivation level wasn’t as high as theirs.
“Jie, stop it, I want to witness the rescue, and I want to see what kind of flower can detoxify so quickly.”
“Well, alright then!”
The group ordered the soldiers to open the city gates, ready to enter with masks on.
Jiang Tang also was among the many people.
Upon entering, poison gas filled the city.
Under such circumstances, everyone in the city could be in danger.
How long would it take to search for them one by one?
The city was too large; those who were conscious could call out, but those who had fainted from sickness, or were close to death, would definitely be missed.
From his Storage Bag, Jiang Tang scattered some Vitality Flowers, casting a water spell to drench the city’s skies with the flowers’ essence.
A nourishing rain thick with vitality fell from above, infusing the city’s streets and buildings with life’s essence.
After the rain of Vitality Flowers, the city’s smog changed completely – gone was the smog, and with it, the scent of poison.
“What…
what kind of flower is this?” Xuanyuan Mengting, who loved flowers, was even more fascinated by the kind of Spiritual Flowers that could save people.
“Are you Jiang Tang?” It was only now that Hua Sheng recognized the person before them, having once competed with him in alchemy.
In just over a month’s time, he had changed so much.
The person before them had grown paler, taller, and looking at Jiang Tang’s cultivation, which he couldn’t fathom, Hua Sheng was utterly astonished.
“You’re called Jiang Tang?
You look pretty decent.” Xuanyuan Mengting had seen many handsome men and beauties; those who surrounded her were all of good looks.
Jiang Tang’s fair skin seemed even better than that of their women, inciting a tinge of jealousy within her.
“Hmm, and who might you be, Miss?” Jiang Tang asked the red-dressed maiden without a trace of arrogance or malice, earning him a certain degree of goodwill.
“Xuanyuan Mengting, a disciple of one of the Ten Great Clans.”
Introducing herself, Xuanyuan Mengting felt a bit proud.
Who in the Cultivation World wouldn’t revere someone from the Ten Great Clans?
“Miss Xuanyuan Mengting, let’s go inside and check it out,” Jiang Tang said, following the others into the city.
Out of curiosity, Xuanyuan Mengting didn’t follow her Jie but instead tagged along with Jiang Tang.
After the rain of Vitality Flowers, Xuanyuan Jie and those who had been brought in proceeded to search into the city.
Tang Feiyang was also among these people, lacking their shield and flight spells; he could only use his strong body to run.
He thought of Liu Tao, that disgrace from the Prime Minister’s Residence, who also needed to be dealt with.
Tang Feiyang arrived at Liu Tao’s den of thieves, only to see Liu Tao sprawled in the courtyard, unclear whether dead or alive.
He didn’t know if there were still thieves here, and he didn’t dare to rashly enter, as those terrifying thieves might still be hidden within the secret tunnel.
Ye Tian had also arrived at this place.
Regardless of whether Liu Tao was alive or dead, he was again captured and imprisoned.
He was the son of the Prime Minister, and such an incident occurring in the Prime Minister’s residence certainly required evidence to prove his guilt.
Ye Tian sent out spiritual energy through the air, using it to tie up Liu Tao, who was lying in the courtyard, with a rope.
He was hoisted into the air, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that Liu Tao had not died.
After the recent exposure to vital qi, not only was the poison neutralized, but he was also recovering.
“Ah…” Liu Tao thought he had died, but he gradually stopped feeling pain and, upon opening his eyes, discovered himself suspended in mid-air.
“Who?
Who has tied me up?
Damn it, don’t you know I am the Prime Minister’s son?”
Liu Tao’s cursing only slightly soothed the fear within him.
“The Prime Minister’s son, is it?
Then how do you explain the appearance of terrorists in your house?” Ye Tian stood in the air, his sleeves fluttering, a vision of a handsome exile.
“Ye Tian, it’s you…
Are you framing me again?
Was it you who released the poison gas?
I will report you to the King,” Liu Tao accused him of catching a thief while being a thief himself, which made Ye Tian find him utterly shameless.
It was time for a fight.
“I can testify that we are also investigating the deeds of Liu Tao and his associates.”
“Well then, you have conspired together to try to get us killed,” Liu Tao trembled with fear, staunchly rebutting, knowing in his heart that the secret of his father had been suspected.
He was unfortunate to be the only one here, captured by them; he could not let his father’s position collapse as well, for if his father fell, there would be no one to rescue him – he had to deny everything to the death.
“Whether you admit it or not is no longer relevant.
We will take you back, and you will have to confess anyway – the net of Heaven is wide but lets nothing through.”
“This is framing, I won’t admit to any of it.”
Ye Tian regarded this unaccomplished and cunning wretch with contempt.
In this incident, perhaps he had done nothing, yet he had harbored thieves in his house.
Although the mastermind had died, the organization had not disbanded, and they hoped to find clues about the organization on him.
Ye Tian said to Tang Feiyang, “You take this man back to the Imperial City for questioning.
Leave the rest to me here.”
“Okay,” Tang Feiyang, knowing his own limitations and having many disciples by his side, agreed to take them back safely.
“Ye Tian, you crafty little person, I will definitely accuse you in front of the King,” Liu Tao shouted loudly.
Ye Tian didn’t want to argue with him and waved his hand, sending a burst of spiritual energy to seal Liu Tao’s dumb acupoint.
“Mmm mmm,” when Liu Tao tried to say something, he could only emit such sounds.
The people trapped inside the city had been surrounded by poison gas for a day and a night; though the sick and disabled had died somewhat, the majority were able to survive.
Most fortunate were the children, who had managed to hold on to life.
Xuanyuan Mengting had not entered the city during the previous rescue, but now she saw that the people inside had been saved.
And they didn’t even need to take Pills, presenting a picture of vitality and vigour.
Her eyes scanning over Jiang Tang, she was keen to uncover the secret of this man.
None of her family possessed such treasures, so where had this man acquired them?
Those who knew that Jiang Tang had released the Vitality Flower rain held the same curiosity in their hearts.
