Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1692 - 1013: It’s Her?! (Part 3)

In contrast to the subtle expressions of the crowd, Fang Geyu remained composed and calmly said, "Have you investigated whether there are any residual effects of the Thousand Cuts Elixir in the vessel of the Flower Inquiry Dew?"

Tan Guangjun rested his chin thoughtfully and replied frankly, "I have also looked into that.

Strangely, no unusual traces were found in the Flower Inquiry Dew’s vessel, but this is not particularly surprising.

Since Qingzhi openly gifted the Flower Inquiry Dew, it’s unlikely he would be foolish enough to leave traces of poisoning.

After all, what he plotted against was the Heavenly God Venerable Immortal, and neither he nor the force behind him could bear the blame for such a calamity."

Tan Guangjun analyzed thoroughly, but suddenly realized that he was supposed to blame Fang Geyu for being late and negligent.

How did several rounds of dialogue lead him astray by her?

In response to her questions, he answered each one like a responsible subordinate.

He is the Kunlun Divine Envoy, completely not obligated to answer her every question!

Tan Guangjun’s expression turned annoyed, his voice cold as he said, "Regardless of whether the elixir poison was administered in the Flower Inquiry Dew, Qingzhi remains extremely suspicious. Shouldn’t Miss Fang first deploy forces across the city to capture this thief?

And what about the so-called ’One Drop of Blood’? I have a brief understanding that it is a new emerging force within the Demon Alliance in recent years.

Demon Alliance? Ridiculous!

Under the Emperor’s decree, the Demon Clan is not free but under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.

I truly do not understand who dares to be so audacious and rebellious, angering the heavens by establishing such a treasonous Demon Alliance!"

Fang Geyu calmly replied, "If it’s really as Tan Guangjun analyzed, would Qingzhi truly be so foolish to blatantly offer goodwill, poison, and then flee in fear of punishment?

Tan Guangjun, often the evidence presented before you may be deliberately prepared by someone with intentions for you to see.

Do not just stick to a section of the whole, focusing on one viewpoint and missing the truth."

Tan Guangjun sneered repeatedly, "From Miss Fang’s words and actions, it seems you are rather partial to this One Drop of Blood."

The words carried an intense sense of danger.

Fang You felt a tightening in his chest, finally unable to remain silent and said involuntarily:

"Tan Guangjun exaggerates, in my humble opinion, Qingzhi should indeed be captured, but what the young lady said is not unreasonable either.

Taking a comprehensive view is the way to break the situation. The poisoner might be someone else, who can say for sure."

Tan Guangjun’s expression frosted over, his gaze filled with deep, cold suspicion:

"I heard that the Thousand Cuts Elixir is a forbidden substance, only Shifang City has the qualification to produce it, used for compelling confessions during national penalties.

However, this elixir is excessively vicious and domineering, with only one pot being manufactured every hundred years, and it’s all used for auctions.

Since this elixir originates from your Shifang City, I have good reasons to believe if this entire scheme is set up by your city to harm the Emperor!"

Such a huge accusation thrown down truly disturbed the mind, Fang You forced a smile:

"The Thousand Cuts Elixir has very narrow applications and is extremely difficult to produce, even the elixir masters of Shifang City would never use it for collection.

The eleven pieces produced annually are all sold at auction."

"Oh? By saying this, you surely don’t mean to tell me that this Thousand Cuts Elixir is also being auctioned as an item today?"

"Indeed... that is correct."

Tan Guangjun then asked, "Was it coincidentally auctioned to Qingzhi of One Drop of Blood?"

"No, the Thousand Cuts Elixir was won at auction by the owner of Room Nine in Wanggui Building."

"The owner of Room Nine in Wanggui Building? Who is that, and why aren’t they presenting themselves quickly!"

City Lord Fang You hesitated for a long time, ultimately unable to withstand the immense pressure, his gaze heavy and complicated as he looked towards a certain direction in the crowd.

Under his gaze, the crowd parted.

At the end of the throng of bustling people, stood a slender, cool, tall figure.

Their white clothes were like snow, with an elegant, serene aura that seemed otherworldly, even under the scrutinizing gazes of all present, the aloof and calm demeanor between their clear black-and-white eyes never waned.

Baili An saw that person’s appearance clearly, his gaze flickering complexly, as if his mind was shaken.

The owner of Room Nine was unexpectedly her!
