Capítulo 1289: Chapter 1274: The Governor of Bozhou State’s Choice
In the capital of Bozhou State, within a mansion next to the State Governor’s residence, Governor Zhang Mi was enjoying the service of several beautiful maids on his bed.
If it were a normal day, Zhang Mi would have long climbed out of bed to ravish these beautiful maids completely, leaving them begging for rcy. But today, despite the efforts of the four beautiful maids, they could not arouse the manhood of the Lord Governor.
Frustrated and irritated, Zhang Mi kicked away a maid who was attending to him and shooed the other maids away like flies.
Lying naked on the bed, Governor Zhang Mi looked out towards his residence with a troubled frown, a face full of distress.
“Return to the lord, today again over thirty thousand complaints of disappearances were received across the counties, and the citizens seeking help from the governnt offices are swarming like ants…”
The report of his subordinates outside made Governor Zhang Mi exceptionally angry, “Scram! Didn’t I say recently demons have been frequently appearing? The state governnt is doing its utmost to capture them. Tell them to wait for news. If they dare to cause trouble, they’ll be treated as collaborators of the demons!”
“Yes…” The subordinate outside hesitated for a mont but could only retreat.
Bang!
Zhang Mi, sowhat frenzied, smashed all the wine vessels before him onto the ground, “How… how am I supposed to suppress this…” Zhang Mi’s face was full of pain.
“Governor Zhang, knowing this day would co, why did you do it in the first place!”
The voice ringing out of nowhere inside made Zhang Mi’s expression change drastically, as he jumped off his bed and shouted angrily, “Who’s there? Show yourself! Dare to trespass my quarters, soone…”
Before he could finish speaking, a jagged little grass erged from the floor and lightly pricked his ankle, imdiately causing a Blood Pearl to ooze.
A four-legged monster snake, only the size of a palm, flew up from the ground and stuck directly to Governor Zhang Mi’s face, muffling his voice. Instinctively, Zhang Mi wanted to use Spiritual Power to kill the thing.
But as he tried to use Spiritual Power, Zhang Mi’s face turned exceptionally pale. He couldn’t mobilize even a trace of Spiritual Power, his Divine Communication Realm cultivation couldn’t be activated in the slightest.
“Damn you, Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion Poison, how do you possess such a terrifying thing? And it’s unrefined Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion Poison? Where did you get such a terrifying thing?” Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, exclaid in astonishnt upon first seeing Ye Zhen use the Jade Finger Scorpion Poison, instinctively distancing himself from the Green-clad Little Demon.
“This thing is called Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion Poison?” Ye Zhen was sowhat puzzled.
“Correct, one of the ten great poisons of Ancient Tis, only produced by the Severed Spirit Jade Scorpion, extrely potent, many formidable powers have fallen at the hands of this thing!” Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, said.
With a flickering gaze, Ye Zhen suddenly realized that while the True Profound Continent was extrely barren compared to the Primordial Continent, it truly possessed quite a few unique treasures.
The Jade Finger Scorpion Poison accidentally discovered by Senior Sister Liao Feibai, even Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, was imnsely wary of it, so it mustn’t be a common object.
Ye Zhen knew his next task upon returning to the True Profound Continent had increased by one.
anwhile, Governor Zhang Mi stared with extre terror at Ye Zhen and the monster snake casually conversing, unable to mobilize any Spiritual Power in his body, and his Divine Soul Power seed paralyzed, unable to move even the slightest bit.
He wanted to speak, but a simple Spiritual Power Seal on his mouth prevented him from uttering a single sound.
“Governor Zhang, do you know why I’m looking for you?” Ye Zhen asked, patting Zhang Mi’s cheek.
The latter looked at Ye Zhen in terror, occasionally glancing outside the door, desperately hoping for a subordinate to report business or soone to break in.
But after so many years as governor, he was known for his strict enforcent of the law. Basically, without his orders, no one would dare to intrude.
However, he still harbored hope, hoping his guards would sense the anomaly here, even the tiniest abnormal Spiritual Power Wave should make them rush in.
“I know what you’re thinking, you’re waiting for your subordinates to rescue you, right?” Ye Zhen patted Zhang Mi’s cheek again.
In Zhang Mi’s terrified gaze, Ye Zhen’s shoulder suddenly quivered, conjuring a Mirage Avatar, and then Ye Zhen glared at Achou and the shadow, who sprayed out a stream of Ancient Mirage Qi.
In the next mont, a person precisely resembling Governor Zhang Mi appeared before him, leaving Zhang Mi horror-stricken.
“I have confidential matters to discuss. Without my orders, anyone who intrudes will be executed!” The Zhang Mi conjured by Ye Zhen’s avatar stepped out to instruct, imdiately causing infinite despair to rise in Zhang Mi’s eyes.
The ability to casually transfigure into another person’s appearance was also a sowhat laughable yet miraculous ability discovered by Ye Zhen using Achou or the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
With just a stream of Ancient Mirage Qi sprayed by Achou, Ye Zhen’s Illusion Clone can transform into anyone’s appearance, even mimicking the aura with ninety percent accuracy.
Casually casting several Spirit-Sealing, Silent Barriers, Ye Zhen unlocked the Spiritual Power Seal on Zhang Mi’s mouth.
“Who are you, daring to assassinate the Holy Son of Heaven, Great Zhou appointed governor, are you not afraid of your family being extinguished…”
Swat!
Ye Zhen struck Governor Zhang Mi hard, sending him flying, even knocking out two of his teeth.
“You dare ntion the Holy Son of Heaven of Great Zhou?” Ye Zhen slapped Zhang Mi again, “Governor is supposed to govern and protect the citizens, what have you done?
Don’t tell you don’t know the whereabouts of sixty to seventy thousand civilians who disappeared overnight?”
“`
The expression of Governor Zhang Mi turned incredibly horrified, and the way he looked at Ye Zhen was as if he was seeing a monster.
“You… you… how do you…”
“How do I know, right?” Ye Zhen gave Governor Zhang Mi another slap, “I not only know that this matter was done with your cooperation with Marquis Anling Ji Jia, but I also know that Marquis Anling Ji Jia massacred all those six or seven hundred thousand civilians for a blood sacrifice!
A blood sacrifice, understand?” Ye Zhen roared at Governor Zhang Mi.
“A blood sacrifice…”
Governor Zhang Mi murmured despondently; he had known the outco for a long ti but had always been unwilling to think in that direction.
“Who exactly are you, and what do you want to do?” After a mont of daze, Governor Zhang Mi seed to regain his senses.
“What do you think?”
Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned utterly ruthless, “I have co to seek justice for the six or seven hundred thousand innocent souls, to demand an explanation for the millions who have lost their loved ones, and I am here to interrogate the conscience of you, corrupt official!”
The mont the last word left his lips, a Soul Whip imdiately surged into Governor Zhang Mi’s Spirit Palace, at the sa ti, the vines nurtured by the Little Demon, covered with countless needle-thin spines infused with a myriad of plant toxins, pierced into Governor Zhang Mi’s body.
In an instant, Governor Zhang Mi was convulsing and screaming miserably, losing control of his bowels and bladder!
For a full fifteen minutes!
“Kill , kill , give a quick death!” The indescribable agony made Governor Zhang Mi scream hysterically.
Ye Zhen tornted Zhang Mi for a full fifteen minutes, and only when Zhang Mi was about to beco unrecognizable did Ye Zhen stop.
“This matter wasn’t done by … no, no… this wasn’t my intention, it was all Marquis Anling Ji Jia… I couldn’t defy his orders…” As he slightly recovered, Governor Zhang Mi imdiately started begging for rcy with tears streaming down his face.
“I know, I know everything! If I didn’t know you were acting under orders, you’d be suffering the extre punishnt of being devoured by a thousand ghosts, rather than talking to now!” Ye Zhen’s tone beca chillingly sinister.
“What do you want, what do you want to do?” Zhang Mi, having once been a governor, quickly understood Ye Zhen’s real intention.
With a shift of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen directly conveyed his intention into Zhang Mi’s Spirit Palace.
In an instant, Zhang Mi’s face turned exceedingly pale, “It’s useless, this won’t help at all! Moreover, doing this will doom my entire family, possibly even my whole clan!”
“Your whole family, your entire clan? How many people are there in your clan, a thousand or ten thousand? Compared to the unjustly dead six or seven hundred thousand civilians?” Ye Zhen sneered.
Governor Zhang Mi, however, shook his head firmly, “I won’t do it as you say, with one wrong move, my whole family will be killed, and possibly my whole clan wiped out!
Kill then!”
“Kill you? Not that easy!” Ye Zhen grinned maliciously, waving his hand, a Demon Marshal’s Avatar appeared beside Governor Zhang Mi, “Recognize this?”
“Demon Clan!” Governor Zhang Mi’s pupils contracted sharply.
Ye Zhen patted Governor Zhang Mi’s cheek again, “You’re sowhat knowledgeable! What do you think will be the consequence if it’s known that the dignified Governor of Bozhou State, Zhang Mi, colluded with the Demon Clan to harm millions of citizens?”
With those words, Governor Zhang Mi’s entire body shivered, not to ntion his fingers.
“No, you can’t…”
“Once this news spreads, not only will your entire clan be exterminated, but your closest relatives, no matter how far, will undergo the most brutal interrogation by the Heavenly Patrol Departnt before they die!
After they are tortured to death, their Divine Souls will still be Soul Searched by the Heavenly Patrol Departnt! Before they die, they will suffer the most terrifying nightmares of their lives!
Moreover, anyone associated with you will be thoroughly investigated for three generations, and any slight connection will result in them being thrown into the great prison of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt!”
This last sentence made Governor Zhang Mi’s entire body tremble; he knew the thods of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt.
If the secret of his collusion with the Demon Clan were to be exposed, not only his entire clan would be exterminated, but even his maintained mistresses and those illegitimate children…
In comparison, following Ye Zhen’s advice seed a much better outco.
Whatever happens, it wouldn’t be worse than the consequence of colluding with the Demon Clan!
“But even if you do this, it won’t yield any results…” Governor Zhang Mi murmured.
“If you don’t try, how would you know the outco? Have you decided?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Do I have a choice?” Governor Zhang Mi replied with a face full of despair.
