Chapter 1810: Locking Onto Eneence (1/2)
House Xiahou was equally displeased about the imperial family’s forcefulness It had its own ambitions: to replace the Eternal Sacred Land, not to help the irasp absolute power
Even if the imperial family were allowed to rule on the surface, the house’s profits and initiatives had to be guaranteed behind the curtain
But the actions of the former made that see to steal authority for its own, as well as diminish House Xiahou’s contributions And now, they were actively picking a fight! Naturally, Xiahou Zhen was quite upset Correspondingly, he dispensed with courtesy in his tone
Forefather Calmdew became more wary of Xiahou Zhen when he heard the latter’s rudeness “These people’s symptoms indicate that they’ve been poisoned with the Soulless Powder of Wind and Cloud,” he said coolly “You should know that better thanto say, Forefather Cal that the huntsman puts away his bohen there are no birds left to hunt However, we’re far fro us off the bridge?”
Forefather Calmdeas furious “Cease your nonsense, Xiahou Zhen Take a look for yourself! Are these not the signs the Soulless Poould have?”
The forefather was intensely irritated that Xiahou Zhen had the gall to deny so so obvious
Xiahou Zhen snorted softly, but a touch of doubt tinged his expression He beca several cultivators in succession
“I’ baseless accusations, am I? My deduction was completely correct,” Calmdew pressed
House Xiahou’s forefather knitted his brow Suddenly, he turned back towards his house “Is it one of you who has caused this trouble?” he intoned slowly “Step forward now and repent, and this may yet be resolved peacefully”
Xiahou Zhen was unable to deny wrongdoing Still, he’d truly been ignorant about all this, hence the question He assuainst the i eyes found only surprise on the faces of his kinshbors, but there was no hint of guilted panic in their own
“I will count to five If the culprit stands forward, I promise I will only punish him If he does not and is found later, his entire branch will suffer” Xiahou Zhen’s sinister voice sent chills down everyone’s spine
However, no one ended up co forth
“Forefather Cal to do with House Xiahou Plus, we’ve been in this area all along The huge area of the poison’s influence means that the person responsible would’ve had to walk around However, no one would’ve dared leave without my orders – or used poison withoutdown so many cultivators isn’t a job for one man The amount of Soulless Powder used must have been immense No warrior from House Xiahou present here did such a deed If you can prove , I will sentence hiorically certain
On one hand, he firmly believed what he had said On the other, he was sure that the poison that had taken down the rebel army was indeed House Xiahou’s exclusive Soulless Powder of Wind and Cloud
It was difficult to wash themselves of the shi+t that had been smeared on them
“Forefather Calmdew, House Xiahou’s intentions to cooperate with the iood in this crucial moment, even if ere stupid beyond words toso unwise? There must be some trick in this Perhaps so to break apart the imperial family and House Xiahou” Xiahou Zhen tried his best to convince the imperial fah! You say House Xiahou didn’t do this, Xiahou Zhen Well, then, produce the antidote”
Xiahou Zhen waved a hand without hesitation “Take out your antidotes for the Soulless Powder, everyone Keep one portion for yourself and contribute the rest No selfishness!”
House Xiahou’s warriors were reasonably loyal and responsive The antidote iftly presented
Forefather Calrew hesitant because of their readiness Was the culprit so in the shadows, trying to stir up conflict between House Xiahou and the imperial family?
“You lot, you’re not poisoned Take soainst the airborne powder, then give out the antidote to the others”
The large swathes of warriors collapsed on the ground concerned Calathered army had almost entirely succumbed Those in the reserves were relatively further away, but didn’t dare approach at this tiroup,for weaker reserves in backup
The antidote was gradually distributed to those affected
“Our antidote is very effective,” Xiahou Zhen stated coolly “It should less than an hour for theth”
His words served to remind Forefather Calmdew: House Xiahou shouldn’t be blamed before the truth revealed itself
