Chapter 133: Strip and Shame
Emperor of Dagan looked at his ministers who remained consistent in their stance. He knew what they were thinking and didn't say anything, only nodding in acknowledgment.Thus, the matter of Mu Yinghua..."Qiu Feng, this eunuch said that you brought him in. Come and take a look, is that true"
In Mu Zhan's mansion living room, when Zhang Liyang saw Kui Feng walk out from behind Mu Zhan and smile at him, Zhang Liyang's heart sank.
"Your Highness, I do not know this person and did not bring him into the manor."
Indeed, Kui Feng's words sent Zhang Liyang's heart plummeting to the bottom of a valley, and at the same time, a surge of remorse arose within him.
"Knowing Mu Zhan had ill intentions towards him, Zhang Liyang should have refused under any circumstances back at the palace." Zhang Liyang felt remorse for his actions in his heart, "This is clearly a malicious intent!"
"Be bold!" Upon hearing Kui Feng's words, Mu Zhan suddenly pointed at Zhang Liyang and roared angrily, "You dare to intrude into my mansion privately and steal things from my mansion. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
"Sure enough! This damn thing is a trap, one I set for myself!"
At this point, Zhang Liyang also realized that these details were a play orchestrated by Mu Zhan and Quifeng. The thief was probably fabricated out of thin air to frame him.
But still, the same goes for within the imperial city. If Zhang Liyang dared to lay a hand on the princes and princesses directly, the consequences would be utterly dire, with no possibility of surviving.
"Your Highness, I'm innocent!"
Facing Mu Zhan's questioning, Zhang Liyang hurriedly bent over and cried out in protest. However, faced with the trapped Zhang Liyang, how could Mu Zhan let him go
Not only did this eunuch humiliate himself in front of others, but he also offended Feng Zhen. Now Mu Zhan is here to take out Zhang Liyang to vent his anger!
"Hmph, wronged" Mu Zhan sneered. "How could I have wronged you"
"I did not steal anything from the prince's residence."
It's impossible to prove that Kui Feng brought him in, so Zhang Liyang could only prove that he wasn't the thief.
"You say you didn't steal Do you think I'm a child!"
Zhang Liyang was surrounded by people at this moment, both servants and guards. Everyone was watching Zhang Liyang, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
"What does your Highness desire"
"That's not too difficult," Mu Zhan's eyes flashed a hint of joy, "You could just have us search your bodies."
A body search
Zhang Liyang was taken aback for a moment, his eyes scanning the surroundings before settling on the crossbows in the guards' hands. He gritted his teeth and nodded helplessly, "Alright."
Although being searched by others is humiliating, Zhang Liyang can bear it as long as he proves his innocence.
Seeing Zhang Liyang agree, Mu Zhan was instantly excited and hurriedly waved his hands to order those around him, "Quickly, strip him naked!"
"What Strip naked!"
Zhang Liyang suddenly raised his head, looking at Mu Zhan in disbelief, while Mu Zhan returned a provocative look.
To be searched and stripped naked are two different concepts, let alone Zhang Liyang who is currently a eunuch. It would be even more impossible for someone to strip him naked and inspect him!
Initially, the group from Flying Dragon City had the same plan. In the end, they were all stripped naked by Zhang Liyang and thrown in the street as revenge.
This time, facing Mu Zhan, Zhang Liyang could barely fight back.
Seeing people walking towards him, Zhang Liyang suddenly roared, "Stop!"
"To dare to resist That means you're guilty. Still claiming you're not a thief!"
Now Mu Zhan is clearly telling Zhang Liyang, either strip naked and let them search you to prove your innocence, or be treated as a thief and hacked to death. Choose one!
Zhang Liyang doesn't want to choose any of them!
So Zhang Liyang must save himself!
"Hold it right there! I am from the Black Prison Estate. No one dares to search me without Feng Zu Zong's orders!"
Feng Zhen's reputation was still quite useful. Hearing his name, everyone else stopped and looked at Mu Zhan at the same time.
Mu Zhan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name Feng Zhen.
The other day I said a few foolish things, at most it was just some harmless banter. But to add insult to injury and humiliate those from the Black Prison is truly going against Feng Zhen.
"You say you're from the Black Prison, what proof do you have"
"I have…"
Zhang Liyang suddenly froze, because at that moment, in order to call for help, he had secretly thrown the token proving his identity into the arms of the eunuch serving Feng Zhen.
Mu Zhan looked at Zhang Liyang's silence and immediately realized something. This damn eunuch probably heard information about the Black Prison from somewhere and was pretending to know something here.
As soon as he thought of this Mu Zhan, he became even more enraged. "What are you waiting for Get up there and strip him naked!"
As the master had commanded, the servants naturally dared not disobey. Those around him hurried forward, eager to surround Zhang Liyang.
"You dare!"
The Emperor's Steps were cast, and Zhang Liyang's body turned ethereal as he dashed outwards.
It's safest to leave this manor now. Even if Mu Zhan investigates later, all he has to do is flee to Flying Dragon City. Zhang Liyang doesn't believe that Mu Zhan will dare to follow him here.
"Qian Lao, seize him for me!"
"Good." A voice, ancient and gnarled, appeared. Then a figure, like a great peng bird, pounced on Zhang Liyang, "Leave your life behind for me!"
Whoosh, whoosh!
A sharp, piercing sound erupted from the air, like arrows fired from a powerful crossbow. It was the sword qi unleashed by the figure in mid-air!
Second Cycle Innate Realm!
Only when one reaches the final realm of the second ring, the Xiantian Realm, can one allow the celestial qi within their body to leave it and thus wield sword qi!
A sense of extreme danger washed over him, Zhang Liyang's Earthly Steps pushed to their limits, dodging the incoming sword qi by a hair's breadth.
Bang, bang~.
The sword qi shot into the ground, directly blasting several dark and deep holes out of it.
Seeing the power of that sword energy, Zhang Liyang's face changed slightly. He pushed his horse to its limit and galloped straight towards the mansion gate.
Here, Qian Lao saw that his attack hadn't taken down Zhang Liyang after all. His old face immediately lost its composure, and he snorted angrily, "Want to leave No way!"
The qi within his body and the heavens whirled at an extreme speed. Lao Qian's figure surged instantly, growing severalfold in size, practically arriving beside Zhang Liyang in a blink of an eye. At the same time, he pointed like a sword, delivering another strike towards Zhang Liyang!
grinned
Sword energy pierced the air, instantly arriving before Zhang Liyang!
"Break the jade and sever the gold!"
With sword energy moving too fast to dodge, Zhang Liyang had no choice but to choose to withstand it.
Bang!
Metal clashed, followed by the splatter of fresh blood!
Even Zhang Liyang's divine powers were formidable, but facing a cultivator at the Innate Realm, his palm still cracked, blood flowing freely.
"Where did the pervert eunuch come from!"
Seeing Zhang Liyang's injury was not serious, Qian Lao appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was shocked. He had known that the sword energy just now was aimed at severing Zhang Liyang's palm.
Zhang Liyang was injured and his movements were hindered. Mu Zhan had already surrounded him with his men, while the guards around them raised their crossbows.
"Run I don't think you can run anywhere!"
Mu Zhan's face was full of glee, "Bring me here, strip him naked. Anyone who dares to resist, pierce them with ten thousand arrows!"
"I'll see who dares!"
At the most critical moment, a voice came from outside the mansion. Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Liyang's heart completely relaxed. very clear, Zhang Liyang himself understood it, but to establish a stronghold of the Black Prison Mansion in the baseless Flying Dragon City, this would be quite difficult for Zhang Liyang."Sigh, let...
