Chapter 508: Cooling
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
This was not from shock or terror. It was something from deep within Yan Xiu's body.
Then, Yan Xiu's body began to shiver and red mist began to circle his body. It felt like he was on the verge of breaking down.
”You...” Yan Xiu's gaze turned icy as he grit his teeth.
”What's happening?”
The crowd didn't understand what was happening when Yan Xiu's expression changed. However, they understood it soon after.
Because...
Their expressions changed as well.
They felt a chill shoot up their body from the base of their feet. It felt as though they were being frozen in a block of ice.
It was too cold.
It was so cold that they couldn't move. In fact, it felt as though their blood and muscles had frozen over too.
”What's happening?”
This turn of events had shocked them all. Their eyes were on the verge of popping out of their sockets as they glared at the chuckling Southern Region messengers.
They finally understood why Yan Xiu's powers would disappear in that instant. Just like Yan Xiu, they felt the energy being drained from their bodies.
”Were we poisoned?!”
”How dare they poison us?”
”When did they...”
None of them could figure out when or how they had been poisoned. However, the fact was that they had been poisoned.
Ping Yang's expression changed as well, her eyes filled with rage as she bit her lip. ”How dare you poison me in the capital?!”
”Your Highness, there must be some misunderstanding. We would never dare to poison you!” One of the messengers smiled and shook his head when he heard Ping Yang.
”Do you think I will believe you?” Ping Yang didn't believe a single word.
”That's up to you. We do not owe you an explanation.” The Southern Region messenger smiled and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. ”Fang Zhengzhi, you will meet your maker tonight!”
”Is that so? You already said something similar once before.” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled scornfully and stood up.
The Southern Region messengers tightened the grip on their swords when they saw Fang Zhengzhi stand up.
Everyone wanted to know if Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation had been ruined. Even though that was extremely likely, no one had confirmed it...
In the event that his cultivation had not actually been ruined, he would be a force to be reckoned with now!
”Ahhh!!! Save me! Help me!” Fang Zhengzhi's voice cut through the air just as the messengers were considering that possibility.
”Plonk!”
”Plonk!”
”...”
The Southern Region messengers looked on in surprise and amusement when they heard Fang Zhengzhi scream for help so unabashedly. The crowd fell to their knees when they heard it.
”He still hasn't changed!”
”He should still try to have some dignity even if he's really scared!”
”He went from being so arrogant to screaming for help within moments?!”
Everyone was speechless when they heard Fang Zhengzhi scream for help. This was such a drastic change!
”There are Southern Region messengers here who poisoned the guests! They're planning to kill next!”
”Guards!”
”Help!”
”...”
”Why aren't you all going? Don't forget that this is the capital! There are definitely many guards patrolling the city!”
Fang Zhengzhi ignored the looks of disdain on the faces of the crowd. He continued to scream for help.
”The capital... so what? Hahaha...” one of the Southern Region messengers couldn't help but chuckle.
”Are you afraid now?” Fang Zhengzhi continued.
”Scared? Hahaha... we are so scared!” The messenger chuckled. Then, he turned to the people behind him. ”Shut the door!”
”Yes!” The other messengers ran to the back and locked the doors to the Seven Star Lane.
”What are you all doing? This is the Seven Star Lane! You can't kill in here!” One of the waitresses tried to stop them from locking the door.
”Scram!” The Southern Region messenger sent the waitress flying.
All of the other waitresses shuddered at this sight and ran towards the middle of the room, screaming as they did so.
This caused the crowd to frown.
Furthermore...
They felt that there was something not quite right with the actions of the messengers.
After all, even though Fang Zhengzhi's actions were slightly cowardly, it was probably the best course of action right now.
This area was famous for its entertainment and fun.
However, it was also the most heavily patrolled area in the capital. There were way too many altercations here. Fights could break out over women, money, even poems or words said!
As such...
It would be extremely weird if there weren't any guards patrolling the area.
Yet, despite Fang Zhengzhi screaming for so long, there was no sign of any guards arriving. No one even came over to see what the commotion was about.
This was extremely suspicious!
More importantly, the messenger had asked for the Seven Star Lane to be locked up. This was not something that they would usually do.
They wouldn't have found it strange if the messengers had killed Fang Zhengzhi on sight. However, for them to lock the doors and try to kill Fang Zhengzhi after he had screamed for help was abnormal.
Fang Zhengzhi was right, this was the capital!
Where were they getting their courage and confidence from?
”No one is here even though I've been screaming for ages... I guess... there is no hope.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and sighed as he looked at the locked doors.
”You can give up now! You will definitely die today!” The messenger replied icily.
”That's impossible! The security in the capital has always been great! Why didn't anyone come to save me?” Fang Zhengzhi whined bitterly.
”Haha, yes, the security in the capital is great, but it is a pity that this is the Seven Star Lane!” The messenger smirked.
”Oh, so you do know that this is the Seven Star Lane?” The fear disappeared from Fang Zhengzhi's face and it was replaced by a smirk.
”What do you mean?” The messenger was stunned to see Fang Zhengzhi smirking. He had a bad feeling about this.
The fear that was on Fang Zhengzhi's face had disappeared completely.
