Chapter 70 Interrogation with the Truth Talisman, A Greater Conspiracy
Long Yufei's expression changed slightly, her eyes complex.
If the former State Governor was indeed killed by the father of those two little babes, she was no match for him.
Her mission was to investigate the truth and convey the information about the real murderer back to the Imperial City, where her true body in seclusion would come forth upon receiving the message.
With the Peak Martial Saint realm true body controlling the State Governor Seal, even a Martial Emperor would be suppressed by the Fate Power.
Most importantly, deep down she harbored a sliver of hope that the culprit was not the father of the two little babes.
"Nonsense, my daddy would never kill anyone randomly."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen clutched their roast meat, their cheeks puffed out, glaring angrily at Liu Feilong.
The Spirit Body turned to look at Long Yufei, having no memory of these events, but if Long Yufei intended to attack, he did not mind slaughtering her as well.
Anyone who threatened Chu Xin and Chu Chen, no matter who it was, would be killed without mercy.
Long Yufei felt the killing intent in the eyes of the Spirit Body, her body trembled, and she quickly said, "Liu Feilong, based solely on your word, how can I believe you?"
Liu Feilong gestured and threw out a fist-sized stone, which hovered in mid-air, emitting streaks of light that interwove into a series of images.
In the images, a man identical to the Spirit Body forcefully withstood the backlash of Fate Power, then flipped his hand and suppressed Fu Zhantian, Qin Xinghai, Huo Feng, Liu Feilong, and the former State Governor holding the State Governor Seal, forcing them to open the door to the Secret Realm.
The images ended there.
"Wow! That's daddy, eh! He beat up all those bad guys, so cool," Chu Xin cheered at the sight of the man in the images, her pride evident.
"Daddy is the most powerful, he just slapped those baddies away. Unlike us, we have to join forces," Chu Chen also clapped her small hands, full of admiration.
Liu Feilong said coldly, "State Governor Long, is this evidence not sufficient?"
Long Yufei's heart sank. Based on the recorded images from the Memory Stone, the father of the two little babes was indeed the prime suspect.
"The true murderer of the old State Governor is right before us. State Governor Long, what are you waiting for? Let's join forces and kill him," Liu Feilong boomed.
"Bad guy, don't you dare speak ill of my daddy, my daddy would never kill people randomly."
Chu Xin shouted angrily in her baby voice, clutching the roast meat as she charged toward Liu Feilong.
"I'm gonna beat you."
Chu Chen roared, following his sister into the fray.
"Come back!"
The Spirit Body extended both hands, grasped the back collars of the sibling duo, and yanked them back, asking sternly, "Have you forgotten what I've told you?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, hung upside down in the air and swaying slightly, were full of confusion upon hearing the question.
"Sister, daddy has said a lot of things. Which one is he asking about?"
Chu Chen turned to look at Chu Xin and whispered.
"How am I supposed to know which one it is?"
Chu Xin rolled her eyes, then looked at the Spirit Body and asked with a smile, "Daddy, can you give us a hint?"
"Yeah yeah! Give us a hint."
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
The Spirit Body rolled his eyes and said annoyed, "I told you not to engage a Martial Emperor on your own. Have you forgotten already?"
"Oh, that's the one."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen suddenly realized.
"Remember it now?"
The Spirit Body asked with concern.
"We remember, daddy,"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen bobbed their little heads in unison.
"Boom!"
Just at that moment, a loud explosion sounded. It was Liu Feilong attempting to escape, but he had underestimated the power of the Sword and Saber Divine Domain set up by the Spirit Body and failed to break through the Barrier. Instead, he was sent reeling back by the force of the Divine Domain's Barrier.
After putting down siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the Spirit Body softly said, "You two go eat the grilled meat; I'll go beat up the bad guy."
"Okay!"
The siblings nodded in unison.

Chu Xin then reminded, "Daddy, don't beat him to death. I still need to use the Truth Talisman on him."
"Right, he has to tell the truth. Otherwise, Auntie Yu Fei will think Daddy is a bad person," Chu Chen added.
"Alright!"
The Spirit Body glanced at Long Yufei once more before reaching out with a hand, and a giant hand appeared out of nowhere in front of Liu Feilong. Its five fingers enclosed him in the middle and slowly began to close in.
It seemed as if these fingers created a space of their own, through which Liu Feilong was unable to break free, no matter how much he fought or charged.
Within this space, the powers of the Sword and Saber Rules were pervasive, slashing away.
The Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array Barrier on his body shattered instantly under the force of these Sword and Saber Rules.
Without the protection of this Array, the force of the Rules tore into his body, causing Liu Feilong to let out a piercingly agonizing scream.
When the fingers fully closed, Liu Feilong could no longer move even an inch—his newly condensed evil Rule Power was completely suppressed, making it impossible to mobilize.
"No, you can't kill me," Liu Feilong said, fear filling his eyes. "Long Yufei, what are you waiting for? Why don't you make your move?"
His only hope was for Long Yufei to use the State Governor Seal to summon the Fate Power of Lanzhou to restrict the clone, giving him a chance to escape.
Long Yufei hesitated but, glancing at the two little ones beside her, she ultimately did not act.
She chose to believe the two children; perhaps the truth of the matter was not as it seemed.
Everything would be addressed after the children used the Truth Talisman.
Chu Chen's small figure appeared in front of the giant hand, suspended in mid-air, glaring with a pair of round and wide eyes, and huffed angrily, "You bad guy, my daddy isn't a murderer. You're definitely lying."
After speaking, he produced a Truth Talisman, which he slapped onto Liu Feilong's forehead with a smack.
Not yet appeased, he took out a stack of them and, with a wave of his chubby hand, covered Liu Feilong's entire head with Truth Talismans.
"Bad guy, who killed the old State Governor?" Chu Chen asked in his childish voice.
"It was me," Liu Feilong said, his eyes vacant as he spoke slowly.
"You?"
Long Yufei shuddered, for the old State Governor possessed the State Governor Seal and was also a Peak Martial Saint. How could Liu Feilong possibly have killed him?
Then she remembered—the Blood Sea.
Long Yufei suddenly recalled that Liu Feilong possessed evil powers capable of restraining Fate Power. If he had enveloped the State Governor Seal with it and launched a surprise attack, it wasn't impossible.
Under the compel of the Truth Talisman, Liu Feilong laid bare the entire sequence of events.
The scenes captured in the Memory Stone were true. Three years ago, the father of Chu Xin and Chu Chen indeed forced the previous State Governor and others to forcibly open the gate to the Secret Realm and entered the Jiuzhou Secret Realm.
The previous State Governor, Fu Zhantian, Qin Xinghai, and Huo Feng were healing in the Forbidden Land, while Liu Feilong at that time was only in the Late Stage of Martial Saint and was not the main force attacking Chu Feng, thus not as severely wounded and was tasked to protect the four.
Yet, he took the chance to unleash the Blood Sea to envelop the old State Governor, killed and absorbed his True Qi and blood to advance his cultivation to the Peak of Martial Saint Realm and placed a Blood Curse on Fu Zhantian and the other two in the process.
In his pursuit to break through to Martial Emperor, he continued to consume the cultivators of Lanzhou over the past three years, but unfortunately, he had yet to break through, leading to his plans today.
Unfortunately, he encountered Chu Xin and Chu Chen, which led to the unraveling of all his schemes.
"Ai Kaorou, ask him where he got the Blood Sea and Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array from," Long Yufei suddenly said. Such things were forbidden in Jiuzhou, and ordinary people couldn't possess them; there might be a larger conspiracy at play.
