C13 Interrogation Day
C13 Interrogation Day
"I've heard about it, I've heard about it. It seems like the City Lord's Mansion is going to be serious this time..."
"What City Lord's Mansion? It's obviously the Lau family who is furious. Who doesn't know about the City Lord's Mansion now? Liu Yang and the other two families are on the same side. They are so good that they almost wear a pair of pants! This time, the Ye family... Tsk tsk..."
"It's not because the Lau family is furious, but because a few big families have joined forces to attack the Ye family."
"I'm tired of living. How dare you criticize the matters of those big families? Do you want to lose your little life?"
"What am I afraid of? Am I wrong? I heard that the Lau family has the intention to marry the Bai family. In this way, the Ye family will be isolated from the top powers in Star Sculpting City, and there will be no successors of the Ye family..."
"I think this time, the Ye family won't be able to escape calamity!"
Ye Mingyang walked on the street with a calm expression, neither fast nor slow. At this moment, undercurrents were brewing in the Star Sculpting City. The reason was that the City Lord's Mansion arranged this interrogation at the foot of the Greencloud Mountain. It was a very rare public interrogation.
This kind of interrogation was usually only carried out when interrogating people who had committed heinous crimes. It had been many years since the Star Sculpting City had publicly interrogated anyone. And this time, they were going to publicly interrogate the third young master of the Ye family?
Everyone who received the news was shocked. Those who had a bit of a brain knew that the Star Sculpting City was going to be reshuffled.
"There are quite a lot of smart people..."
Ye Mingyang smiled bitterly. The development of his previous life was just like the discussions of passers-by. The Ye family had declined, and the Star Sculpting City was in chaos. They were going to be reshuffled.
What about this time?
Ye Mingyang clenched his fists tightly. In his dream, the scene of this day was repeated countless times, and this time, it was not a dream!
...
At the foot of the Green Cloud Mountain.
One by one. A huge viewing platform surrounded the platform, and in the center was the position of the city lord.
Although the interrogation had yet to arrive, the bottom of the platform was already packed with people. On the grandstand, those who had some status in the Star Sculpting City were all present.
However, no one was seated at the highest point of the grandstand. That was the position of Liu Ye, Bai Yang, and the other three great families.
If one were to look down from the sky at the current Star Sculpting City, there would be a sense of loneliness. Almost everyone who was free had arrived at the foot of the Greencloud Mountain, because everyone knew that this was a grand event in the Star Sculpting City.
A grand event for the new and powerful was accompanied by the mournful wails of the declining Ye family.
"Shopkeeper Yue, since you think so highly of that Ye Mingyang, why did you..."
As the manager of the Medicine King Palace in Star Sculpting City, Yue Donglai came to the highest point of the stands with a calm expression and casually sat down. The only people who were with him were the apprentice alchemists who usually followed him.
He calmly waved his hand, gesturing for the apprentice alchemist to be quiet. Then, he sat there like a meditating senior monk with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Yue Donglai had considered helping out today, and with the influence of the Medicine King Palace, he could force the Lau family to give up on the interrogation and use the Ye family as compensation.
However, he didn't do that because he wanted to know how many trump cards and trump cards that seemingly calm young man had.
Who was behind him? Who was helping him?
If Ye Mingyang really had a grade five alchemist or even a grade six alchemist as his backing, then today's matter, Ye Mingyang wouldn't be in any danger. In fact, the Lau family might even be in big trouble.
But if Ye Mingyang did not have one, then what did Ye Mingyang's life and death have to do with him?
Just a little bit of medicinal herbs from before, he could just give it away. He had already done sending charcoal in the snow. Why did he need to add flowers or... do useless things?
"Shopkeeper Yue, you're here too."
Yue Donglai opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed across his fat round face.
"Manager Zheng, I didn't expect you to be in the mood to watch the show as well."
Yue Donglai's face was filled with the smile of Maitreya Buddha, as if the person who had come was his good friend for many years. In fact, the relationship between the Medicine King Palace and the Artifact Refining Pavilion wasn't good.
"It's not that I want to come. It's because everyone in the Star Sculpting City is here to watch the show. The business can't continue anymore!"
Manager Zheng sighed. He seemed to be very distressed, but deep in his eyes... There was a trace of unknown meaning. He found a random seat beside Yue Donglai and sat down with the people who came with him in the next row. Only Little Six, like the medicine boy, stood behind them.
Seeing that Zheng Youcai had no intention of introducing him, Yue Donglai did not intend to ask who sat down below him. The two of them were like old friends as they chatted passionately.
As the number of people gradually increased, the quiet foot of the mountain gradually became noisy. Looking around, there were densely packed human heads. At this moment, there were probably tens of thousands of people who had arrived.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a lookout in the sky. This sound seemed to have magic power and had an inconceivable penetrative power. Many of the martial artists with low cultivation covered their ears in pain. They looked at the sky and then cried out in alarm.
"Thunderhawk! It's the Bai Family!"
A 30 meter long divine bird spread its wings in the sky. Its entire body flickered with golden light. Countless electrical arcs crackled on its body. It spread its wings and flew, as if it directly struck the nine heavens. After that, it circled above the stands for a long time before finally landing on the north side.
More than a dozen people descended from its back and walked straight to the highest point in the south of the stands, taking their seats in an orderly fashion.
Baizhi, who met Ye Mingyang in the Artifact Refining Pavilion that day, was also among them.
The scene gradually quieted down. Everyone knew that a grand event had begun.
A streak of light shot into the sky from the Star Sculpting City. It was like a divine flower, and it was extremely fast. In a moment, it arrived at the grandstand and stopped at the south side. It was the people of the Yang family.
An ancient war chariot arrived with a loud rumble. The clouds were shattered into pieces. It was as if the air was trembling. Following closely behind it was an incomparably enormous flying sword. On the blade of the sword, Ye Shan's figure stood solemnly. Behind him... It was the group of seven from the Ye family.
However, Ye Mingyang was nowhere to be seen.
The men from the Lau family descended from the war chariots one after another. Currently, the patriarch of the Lau family, Lau Canghai, had a tense expression on his face. He looked at Ye Shan with an uncontrollable madness in his eyes.
There was a ferocious scar on Lau Canghai's face. It went from his forehead to his left eye and then to his face. He stretched out his finger and gently cut the scar on his cheek.
It was the mark of his defeat when he fought Ye Shan when he was young.
Today, it was his revenge!
With the arrival of the four great clans, the entire interrogation platform and the entire Green Cloud Mountain Range were silent. No one made a sound again, even the sound of their breathing was suppressed to the lowest.
Groups of soldiers in black armor surrounded the interrogation platform, quickly blocking the crowd ten meters away from the platform. Even though their actions were rude, no one criticized the soldiers who were emitting cold and murderous auras. They were the combat divisions of City Lord's Mansion and the personal guards of the city lord.
Their name was... Impermanence.
The atmosphere on the scene became more and more solemn. Only the tall magic table on the interrogation platform, which was also the city lord's seat, was still empty. In addition, there was no trace of the Ye family's Third Young Master who was about to be interrogated.
However, in the next moment, the air around the magic table fluctuated violently. A fully armored figure quietly sat in that position. Along with it, there was no sound of breathing.
Star Sculpting City's City Lord, Gu Tang.
His cold eyes swept across the interrogation platform, then he closed his eyes and spoke faintly.
"Ye Shan, where is he?"
His voice was not loud, but it accurately reached everyone's ears. The coldness in his voice made people unconsciously shiver.
However, even though he asked, his face was cold. This coldness was not deliberately created to maintain his dignity. It was a kind of... It was as if he was indifferent.
Because Gu Tang really did not care, because that was not important.
Whether Ye Mingyang came or not wasn't important.
Whether or not Ye Mingyang had the Starstealing Soul Guide wasn't important either.
It didn't matter where Ye Mingyang was right now, because in his eyes, Ye Mingyang was just an unimportant person.
The one he interrogated was never Ye Mingyang, but the Ye family. And today, this massive public interrogation wasn't to convict Ye Mingyang.
It was to throw the Ye family into the abyss!
