Chapter 43 You Promised to Use a Truth Talisman, Yet You Sealed My True Qi
"You!"
The Fire Demon Elder was furious, yet now he had to bow his head as he was under someone else's roof.
With his True Qi sealed and body immobilized, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.
"State Governor, perhaps this is not appropriate?"
The Leopard Elder from the Myriad Beasts Sect spoke in a dark tone.
Long Yufei turned his head to look at him and said indifferently, "Earlier, the Fire Demon Elder mentioned that the Demon Saber Sect was framed, and I find some truth in his words. I wonder, Leopard Elder, where do you think I should start to investigate the person who framed the Demon Saber Sect?"
Immediately, the Leopard Elder found himself at a loss for words and dared not to continue the conversation.
All three great powers, even many forces in Lanzhou, were not so clean. Who would dare to let the State Mansion conduct a thorough investigation?
The judge from the Domineering Sword Sect laughed awkwardly, "The State Governor is wise, truly wise."
Long Yufei glanced at him indifferently and turned to look at the arena, his gaze falling on the Elder who had resisted earlier.
She had almost determined that this Elder was the one who gave Liu Tian the Devil Tempting Pill.
Before witnessing the effects of the Talisman, everyone thought it was a Truth Talisman. The Fire Demon Elder and the other two Elders did not resist, only he did.
After resisting, they saw the effects of the Talisman, obviously indicating that he had a guilty conscience.
However, she didn't immediately point it out, since her own conjecture was far less convincing than the Truth Talismans held by the two little ones.
At this moment, Chu Xin and Chu Chen were each holding a Truth Talisman and circling around the four Elders of the Demon Saber Sect.
"What are they doing? Why haven't they asked yet?"
Someone was full of confusion.
"Who knows? Who can guess the thoughts of little ones?"
Another shook his head and chuckled.
Grown-ups can never guess what a little one is thinking.
"It's you, you look annoying, you must be a bad person."
Suddenly, Chu Xin stopped in front of an Elder, and said with full confidence.
The corners of the Elder's mouth twitched, and he felt like crying without tears.
It's not my fault for looking unpleasant, can this even be a standard for judging right from wrong?
"I'll still choose him, too ugly, definitely a bad person."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Chen returned to the Fire Demon Elder, also with confidence on his face.
The Fire Demon Elder glared at Chu Chen, wishing he could bite him twice; this detestable child, doesn't he know you shouldn't hit a man in the face or bring up his shortcomings when insulting him?
No, that's not right, this child seems to specialize in hitting faces, having already turned Liu Tian's face into a pig's head.
"Sister, let's see who picked correctly. If one of us is wrong, then wash the barbecue grill a hundred times."
Chu Chen turned his head to look at Chu Xin and suggested.
"Alright."
Chu Xin nodded.
Both little ones liked barbecue, one liked to grill and the other liked to eat, but they shared one thing in common—they both didn't like cleaning the grill, pots, or dishes.
However, Chu Xin was the elder sister, and the pressure of their bloodline was too strong, leaving Chu Chen no choice but to begrudgingly wash everything by himself every time.
The Fire Demon Elder was full of humiliation, himself a revered Elder of the Demon Saber Sect, a powerful cultivator at the Middle Stage of Martial Saint, and now reduced to a mere wager for washing a barbecue grill?
Smack!
In his daze, Chu Chen had already placed a Truth Talisman on his forehead.
"Was it you who told Liu Tian to come and kill me?"
Chu Chen asked in a childish voice.
"Yes!"
Despite being fully aware and wanting to deny it, the Fire Demon Elder found himself responding truthfully, as though his mouth had a will of its own.
"He was the one behind it? But he is a judge, how could he do such a thing?"
"Exactly, if we meet other talented and powerful Heavenly Prides in the future, and they're not from his Demon Saber Sect, will they all be dealt with using these methods?"
"If that's the case, how can we, the people from smaller forces, even continue to compete? It's simply abominable."
Upon hearing the Elder of the Fire Demon admit it, everyone became angry.
"Haha, sister, it was him who instructed them, you lost."
Chu Chen excitedly clapped his chubby little hands.
Chu Xin's round, wide eyes glared, and she muttered, "He may have instructed them, but it doesn't necessarily mean he provided the medicine."
After saying that, she began to interrogate the Elder in front of her again.
"That's true."
Chu Chen nodded, then asked again, "Did you provide the Devil Tempting Pill?"
"No!"
The Elder of the Fire Demon shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen's face immediately fell in disappointment, and he picked up another Truth Talisman to approach the previously rebellious Elder.
The Elder's eyes darted around, a hint of panic in his gaze.
But now that his True Qi was sealed and his body was restrained, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as the troublesome child neared him.
"Young friend, why don't you just ask, I promise I'll tell you everything I know, do we really need to use that Talisman?"
The Elder forced a laugh and suggested, "Truth Talismans capable of making a Martial Saint speak the truth are all Holy Level Talismans. Even among the top Talisman forces, they're not abundant, so isn't it a waste to use them on us?"
"Nope, my daddy made lots of them for us."
Chu Chen waved his chubby little hand, and a pile of Truth Talismans appeared out of nowhere, stacking up beside him like a small mountain.
The Elder's mouth dropped open, dumbstruck, momentarily speechless.
These Truth Talismans were not like the previous pile; they were genuinely Holy Level Talismans, powerful enough to make a Martial Saint tell the truth.
Actually, what the Elder said was not wrong—Holy Level Talismans, although not rare amongst the top Talisman forces, are not so abundant that one could squander them casually.
Yet Chu Chen didn't have the slightest shortage.
"Your daddy must be out of his mind,"
The Elder couldn't help himself and blurted out the insult.
Truth Talismans aren't really of great use to cultivators; they can only be used to make someone speak the truth, and that too requires the cultivator to be either unresistant or unable to resist. It's largely redundant.
After all, cultivators have many ways to extract others' memories and obtain the information they want. Who would spend a lot of money to buy Truth Talismans, especially Holy Level ones?
Even among Talisman powers, few would forge too many, with most only making one or two for emergencies.
With that time, it would be better to forge more powerful Holy Level Talismans.
But this troublesome child's daddy actually made so many Holy Level Truth Talismans for him; isn't that just plain crazy?
"Don't you dare curse my daddy."
Chu Chen became furious as soon as he heard the insult, forgetting his original purpose. Clenching his chubby little fists, he pummeled the Elder's head mercilessly.
The Elder screamed miserably, begging for mercy.
"Enough!"
Seeing that the Elder was already beaten into a pig-head but Chu Chen had no intention of stopping, the Fire Demon Elder suddenly roared in anger.
Chu Chen glanced at the "pig-head" lying on the ground and only then, satisfied, stopped his assault, threatening with his fist, "If I hear you insult my daddy again, I'll clean your clock."
The Elder just lay on the ground, wailing, not daring to answer back.
Smack!
Chu Chen slapped a Holy Level Truth Talisman onto the Elder and asked, "Was the Devil Tempting Pill given by you?"
"Yes!"
The Elder's heart screamed a million times it wasn't, but the word that came out of his mouth was an honest confession.
"It's him, it was definitely him!"
Chu Chen cheered and jumped for joy, so excited that he began to hop around. "Sister, I won."
