A Will Eternal – Chapter 737
Chapter 737: Good People Do Great
Along with those words came a beam of light, slicing through the air. It was none other than the visible heir of the Nine Words City, Zhou Hong. He's not alone either. He was flanked by dozens of minions, as well as a group of hundreds of cultivators wearing black armor.
The black armored soul planter had an expressionless face, and completely ignored everyone present as they spread out in the area, performing a spell move as they made a spell formation.
As soon as the spell formation was activated, a huge gravitational force appeared, which immediately sucked up all the foul gas in the area.
The sight of the disappearing gas filled the other soul planters in the area with great shock.
"Heirs of the Nine Cities Kata …."
"This is Zhou Hong …."
The truth was that Zhou Hong was actually feeling extremely nervous. Even the smallest incident in Arch-Emperor City could have profound implications on the outside. He may be an heir, but that doesn't mean he has the luxury of letting his guard down. After all, the relationship between the four heavenly kings was not very good at the moment.
Right now, it did not matter whether Sima Tao and Sun Yifan were really responsible for what happened. Soul medicines had their mark on it, which meant that they were unable to escape from that situation. Furthermore, Zhou Hong was also unable to. The truth was that Zhou Hong was even more worried than Bai Xiaochun about things out of control.
After all, this was Arch-Emperor City!
In his unease, he asked for help to stop the city guards from getting involved. After all, once they did, it was impossible to prevent the reports from rising the chain of command.
That doesn't mean that a lack of reports will keep the problem hidden. However, once a person reports the issue, formal action should be taken.
After making sure that the city guards would wait a bit before taking action, Zhou Hong quickly came up with his own father's personal guard members, who used a powerful spell formation to remove the foul gas.
There were already a lot of things to be resolved in a short period of time, and he felt extremely frustrated about the matter. However, there was nothing he could do. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he exclaimed, “It doesn't matter how all this happened. It might just be a mistake. Don't worry, everyone, I'll give you a compensation that will definitely make you feel very happy! "
Immediately, his accomplices spread out and began to take care of everything.
Those who have been directly affected from the treatment of the soul are compensated handsomely, and actually benefit quite well. Moreover, everyone understood that this great reward was also a way to buy their silence.
The other soul cultivators who had been affected by the disaster were also compensated, and although it was less than what the victims received, they were all very satisfied. As for Zhou Hong, even though he was reluctant to pay such an expensive price, he really had no other choice.
Bai Xiaochun watched with narrowed eyes, unable to help his admiration for how quickly Zhou Hong had taken care of everything. Apparently, Zhou Hong was even more nervous than about causing a greater disaster.
After seeing how happy everyone was over the compensation, Bai Xiaochun looked up thinking for a moment, then cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and spoke to the other shopkeepers behind him. "Our shops are also damaged!"
All the shopkeepers started grumbling and then complaining loudly. Not too far away, Zhou Hong's heart felt like it was dripping blood as he forced himself to calm down. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand, sending someone to Bai Xiaochun and his group to discuss the matter. Before long, the bag of holding was given to Bai Xiaochun.
At this point, everyone was feeling very happy, even though Bai Xiaochun felt a little guilty. Considering how severe each person's suffering was, he took his own share and began to share it among those directly affected by the treatment of the soul, making more and more people shout his name in awe.
The smile on the faces of everyone in the crowd sent a stab of pain to Zhou Hong's heart. He could never imagine that his small plan against Bai Xiaochun would not only fail, but also cause a huge injury to himself.
"Well, at least everything is in order now," he told himself comfortably. He was just about to open his mouth to speak to the crowd when he saw all the soul cultivators who had been given compensation rushing to clasp a hand to Bai Xiaochun.
"Grandmaster Bai, thank you very much for standing up for justice!"
"You're a great man, Grandmaster Bai!"
"Daoist Dean Bai Hao, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for what you did today!"
Zhou Hong was the one who actually compensated, but the person everyone was grateful for was Bai Xiaochun. It made Zhou Hong's mind spin, and he couldn't control his emotions. Deep hatred for Bai Xiaochun immediately blossomed in his heart.
Unfortunately for him, he could only check it out. After all, he did not want to dig himself further into the hole. After a while, he just left. And thus the incident with the foul gas was resolved.
Bai Xiaochun stood there looking at the scattered crowd, his hands clasped behind his back. Then, feeling very pleased with himself, he walked back to his shop, pondering that his student's plan was truly extraordinary.
"The last step beautifully executed!" he said, laughing out loud and giving Bai Hao a look of praise. Bai Hao was embarrassed and delighted. After all, his master was the only family he had, and his approval made Bai Hao feel happy.
Bai Xiaochun spent some time bragging and boasting, then went to the back room, very happy not only to avoid disaster, but also came out with a slight advantage.
Enjoying the victory, he took out the formula for the seventeen-colored flame and continued his work with it.
Three days passed in an instant. During that time, Zhou Hong ran in tatters dealing with the aftermath. He spread bribes high and low, and put out fires to the left and right. When everything is said and done, no one comes looking to ask.
On the night of the third day he finally called Sima Tao and Sun Yifan to discuss the matter. After the three of them sat in the locked room, he gloomily asked, “Do you know what happened? Is that Bai Hao ?! "
Sima Tao and Sun Yifan did not say anything at first. A moment passed, and then Sima Tao steeled himself and bitterly said, “We both used every trick in the book. We even asked for help from some of the expert colleagues we knew. We really can't find any signs that the mental medicine is being tampered with. "
"No sign at all?" Zhou Hong replied angrily. “Then what's wrong with that? Don't tell me you two are really in charge!?!? ” He is not at all polite. Usually speaking if he spoke like this, Sima Tao would be extremely displeased, and would immediately reprimand him. After all, he was not only an adviser to the Nine Words King, he was an elder of the Sima Clan in Nine Words City.
Even Sun Yifan would respond with a cold snort. After all, he was a high adviser to the Spirit Advent King, and would be good in his right to scold a prince from the Nine Kata Cities.
But in the current situation, both of them had no other choice but to receive treatment.
Stating things carefully, Sima Tao said, “To be able to tamper with the soul medicine and not leave any evidence is a level of necromantic skill that we have never heard of before. The only way it could be done was with legendary secret magic or the like. ”
"Although we can't learn anything from soul medicine itself," Sun Yifan added through gritted teeth, "we did find another clue. All of those soul medicines were purchased from our stores, and after checking our records, Brother Sima and I were able to determine that over the past month, we had some suspicious customers! ” Bones that hurt from hatred, he took out the jade slip that he handed over to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong's eyes flickered as he accepted it and looked at it. Then he got up and went to do various arrangements. Shortly thereafter, the full strength of the heirs that looked from the Nine City Words appeared as a massive investigation was conducted. Over the next few days, clues were dug up one by one.
Although all the suspicious people who had bought the medicine were wearing disguises, Zhou Hong's network was widened and deep. Soon, he revealed the fact that on the day of the disaster, everyone in the suspicious group had used the Arch-Emperor City teleportation portal to travel to Giant Ghost City!
Soon, it was also revealed that the entire group of people had originally teleported to Arch-Emperor City on the same day!
Although the exact time is staggered, it is clear that they work together.
"I don't care if I can't prove it in person, Bai Hao, I'm sure it's all you !!" Anger burned, Zhou Hong gritted his teeth and sent a message to Sima Tao and Sun Yifan.
As soon as Sima Tao and Sun Yifan got the news, their minds spun, and their anger also started to rage.
"You set us up, Bai Hao !!"
"How shameless, Bai Hao !!"
Just the thought of Bai Xiaochun's actions that day made their blood boil, and they immediately rushed out of their shop and headed towards Bai Xiaochun.
