A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 510: All Schemes Exposed (3)

Fen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly after seeing Grand Tutor Wei’s expression.

Still, she asked calmly,

"Grand Tutor Wei, have you completed the task that I entrusted to you?"

At that question, the entire hall became silent.

Everyone’s attention shifted toward the old man.

Grand Tutor Wei lowered his head slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This old minister has completed the investigation."

But then he paused, his expression remained unusually heavy.

Fen Ling noticed immediately.

She had known Grand Tutor Wei for many years.

And she understood his personality better than most.

For him to show such an expression... the matter was clearly not simple.

"What did you discover?"

Grand Tutor Wei did not immediately answer.

Instead, he slowly turned toward the entrance.

"Bring them in."

The moment his words fell, heavy footsteps echoed once again through the grand hall.

Two Shadow Dragon Guards entered while carrying two large black iron chests.

Unlike the previous crates filled with documents and records, these two chests were smaller and weren’t covered with sealing formations at all.

But everyone could feel a faint trace of deathly aura leaking from the gaps.

Many officials instinctively frowned as they could feel it.

Soon, the two Shadow Dragon Guards placed the chests in the center of the hall and stepped back.

Grand Tutor Wei walked forward.

"This old minister originally intended to investigate the identity of the two demonic cultivators, who appeared as honored guests within Prime Minister Mu’s residence."

Hearing those words, a wave of shock spread through the hall.

Many officials immediately turned toward Prime Minister Mu.

Demonic cultivators... had appeared as guests in the Prime Minister’s residence? That alone was already a serious crime.

Grand Tutor Wei continued.

"According to the information obtained by the Shadow Dragon Guards, those two individuals had been staying in the Prime Minister’s residence for several months. However..."

His expression became cold.

"When this old minister arrived to arrest them today... they were already dead."

The hall fell silent.

Prime Minister Mu’s expression remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Grand Tutor Wei waved his hand.

"Open them."

The Shadow Dragon Guards stepped forward.

Then... the lids slowly opened.

The moment everyone saw what was inside, several officials sucked in a cold breath.

There... are two heads rested inside the chests.

Their faces remained frozen in expressions of unwillingness and disbelief.

Even after death, their powerful auras still lingered.

Then Grand Tutor Wei spoke.

"These two were not ordinary demonic cultivators. They were both Golden Core Realm experts."

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Because Golden Core experts... even within the Fen Dynasty, such existences could not be treated lightly.

Grand Tutor Wei looked at the two heads inside the chests with a cold expression.

Then, he slowly continue,

"These two individuals have already been identified."

The officials immediately focused their attention.

Grand Tutor Wei pointed toward the first head.

"On the left... His name was Jade Scholar."

A murmur spread throughout the hall.

Some older officials immediately recognized the name.

"Jade Scholar?"

"That Jade Scholar from the Lawless Land?"

Grand Tutor Wei nodded.

"Correct. He was a Golden Core Realm demonic cultivator who operated within the Lawless Land for over hundred fifty years."

"Although he called himself a scholar, his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people."

"He specialized in soul techniques and forbidden formations."

"The number of cultivators who disappeared after crossing paths with him cannot even be counted."

The atmosphere became colder.

Even those who had never personally encountered Jade Scholar had heard rumors about him.

A person like that... should never have been allowed to step into the Fen Dynasty’s capital.

Grand Tutor Wei then pointed toward the second head.

"The one on the right... was known as Venomous Rat."

This time, even more officials changed expressions.

"Venomous Rat?"

"That infamous assassin?"

Grand Tutor Wei nodded.

"Yes. And unlike Jade Scholar, Venomous Rat rarely appeared publicly."

"He was an expert in poison techniques, assassination methods, and infiltration."

"Throughout the years, he has killed numerous important figures across different territories."

"Both of them were wanted individuals within the Lawless Land."

He paused.

"Yet somehow... they were able to enter the Fen Dynasty."

"And even stay inside the Prime Minister’s residence as honored guests at that."

The implication was obvious.

Many officials turned their gazes toward Prime Minister Mu.

However, the old man remained silent.

Grand Tutor Wei continued.

"And according to our investigation... there should have been another member of their group."

His gaze shifted slightly toward Li Feng.

"His name was Mad Bull."

The moment that name was mentioned, several officials immediately looked toward Li Feng.

Grand Tutor Wei’s voice remained calm.

"Unlike Jade Scholar and Venomous Rat, Mad Bull was known for his overwhelming physical strength and violent temperament."

"And among the three, he was the most straightforward and the easiest to identify. However... he is already dead."

Grand Tutor Wei looked directly at Li Feng.

"He was killed by Envoy Li Feng during that night of chaos."

A small ripple spread through the court.

Although many officials had already heard rumors about that night, hearing Grand Tutor Wei confirm it personally still caused them to glance at Li Feng with surprise.

What a fearsome man, to be able to kill a Golden Core at only Foundation Establishment...

But Li Feng remained calm as he narrowed his eyes.

He also had a feeling that the other two were demonic cultivators.

The aura coming from their corpses was enough to confirm it, but... who killed them?

Li Feng’s gaze shifted toward the two heads inside the chests.

From the remaining aura around their bodies, he could tell something was wrong.

These two had not been dead for long.

At most... a few days or perhaps even less.

That meant someone had deliberately killed them recently.

And the timing was far too coincidental.

At that thoughts, Li Feng looked toward Fen Ling.

The Empress had acted incredibly quickly.

From gathering decades of evidence to uncovering the Rain Pavilion’s hidden bases... everything had happened with terrifying efficiency.

Yet this crucial piece of evidence... the two demonic cultivators who could potentially reveal Prime Minister Mu’s connection... had conveniently died before they could be interrogated.

’Who has the ability to kill two Golden Core experts inside the capital without alerting anyone?’

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as his mind flashed toward that cloaked figure.

But before Li Feng could continue his thoughts, Fen Ling’s expression changed slightly.

For the first time since the beginning of the court session... her brows furrowed.

Not because of Prime Minister Mu but because of the reaction from the court.

"Your Majesty."

A voice suddenly echoed.

One of the elderly ministers who had defended Prime Minister Mu earlier stepped forward and bowed.

"This old minister believes there is still insufficient evidence."

Fen Ling looked toward him.

The minister continued.

"Prime Minister Mu has served the Fen Dynasty faithfully for over a century."

"Although these matters are suspicious, we cannot convict a loyal official based solely on assumptions."

Another official immediately stepped forward.

"This minister agrees."

"The two demonic cultivators were already dead when Grand Tutor Wei arrived. And who killed them is unknown."

"How can we conclude that Prime Minister Mu was involved?"

A third official spoke.

"Furthermore, these incidents happened because of the actions of criminals."

"Shouldn’t we first investigate who the true murderer is instead of immediately blaming the Prime Minister?"

Soon... more voices began to appear.

One after another as some questioned the evidence.

Some emphasized Prime Minister Mu’s past contributions.

Some argued that the investigation had moved too quickly.

The hall that had previously fallen silent once again became noisy.

Li Feng quietly watched the scene of these people twisting words from right to wrong and black to white.

For the first time, Li Feng truly felt disgusted toward politics.

He preferred to smash everything to pieces with his fist rather than dealing with these glib-tongued and shameless people.

Fen Ling sat upon the dragon throne, silently observing the ministers below.

Her expression was unreadable.

But Li Feng noticed something... and that she doesn’t seem to be surprised.

It was as if she had expected this exact reaction.

Before Fen Ling could speak...

"Enough."

A voice suddenly echoed through the hall.

And everyone turned to look as Prime Minister Mu had stepped forward.

The old man slowly walked toward the center of the court. His expression was calm... surprisingly calm.

Fen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly at this sudden turn.

"Prime Minister Mu?"

The old man didn’t reply as he stopped.

Then... he slowly knelt down.

Seeing this, the entire hall froze.

His voice echoed.

"Your Majesty... This old minister admits his crimes."

At those sudden words that no one expected...

Silence fell.

Even the ministers who had been defending him moments ago stared in disbelief.

"Prime Minister Mu..."

"What?"

"He admitted it?"

Li Feng also frowned slightly.

’What is he doing?’

This was completely different from the Prime Minister Mu he had seen until now.

The old fox who refused to admit anything.

And the man who had carefully avoided every trap.

Yet now... he was admitting guilt himself.

Prime Minister Mu lowered his head.

"This old minister has failed Your Majesty’s trust."

"I have failed the Fen Dynasty."

"I allowed corruption to spread under my command."

"I allowed criminals to hide beneath my authority."

His voice carried sorrow as a sorrowful expression appeared on his aged face.

"This old minister truly deserves punishment!"
