Chapter 324 Don’t panic when things happen~ Change the subject first—— Zhou Qing's martial spirit possessed his body, his heart beat like thunder, his blood rushed like waves in a river, his qi, blood and soul power resonated, and the hair on his body stood up, his hair standing on end with anger! An invisible aura gushed out, shocking the entire audience. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou Qing put away his spirit and said loudly with the demeanor of a martial arts champion, "Now, let's not talk about the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the two empires. We are all small people. If we discuss the affairs between the big people, they will probably laugh their heads off if they hear us." "Now, let's consider a question——" "Dales! The Lord of Falling Star City! Is he really colluding with the Fallen?" For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene reversed again. "Correct!" Norman quickly agreed, "Dales, stop talking nonsense. Let's get one thing clear right now. Are you colluding with the Fallen?!" "Absolutely not!"
The fake Darles was frightened by Zhou Qing's fierceness, his body trembling slightly, and for a moment he even forgot to change the subject and tried his best to prove himself. "Then what is this?" Norman held up the letter, and the handwriting on it was exactly that of Darles himself! "Someone must have framed me!" The fake Darles looked at the servants fiercely, his IQ returned to normal, and he cursed, "It's not enough that these people colluded with the Fallen, they also framed me. This is simply a heinous crime! Come, arrest them and execute them on the spot!" "Wait! Darles, why are you so anxious to kill someone?" Norman would not let these witnesses die, so he ordered the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall to stop them in front. "Norman! Why are you protecting these guys who are related to the Fallen? Could it be that your Spirit Hall is also connected to the Fallen, so you are crying thief?" In an instant, the fake Darles found another opportunity to put another accusation on Norman and brought the topic back to the Spirit Hall. "you!" Norman was furious. "Cough cough!" Zhou Qing sighed, realizing that Norman had a strong temper and would never allow anyone to slander Spirit Hall in the slightest. He knew that no matter how much he reminded him, as long as this fake Darles brought up the topic of Spirit Hall, he would lose his mind, so he prepared to speak more bluntly: "Lord Darles, please don't change the subject. Right now, what we need is for you to prove your innocence and convince everyone present, rather than bringing up the topic of whether Spirit Hall is related to the Fallen. Even if there is, that is a question that Emperor Xue Ye and Emperor Xing Luo should consider, not something that a small Lord like you, the City Lord of Falling Star City, can care about." "Besides, I think the issue that everyone is most concerned about right now is whether you have colluded with the Fallen, rather than other messy topics." After hearing this, Norman was stunned, and finally understood why Darles in front of him always slandered the Spirit Hall - To change the subject! There was also a hint of fear in the fake Darles' eyes when he looked at Zhou Qing. This··· Is he really a six-year-old child? The other people at the scene also reacted to some extent, and realized how powerful Zhou Qing was, and they all agreed: "That's right! We need to know the truth now!"
"City Lord, I believe you are innocent! But you have to prove yourself!" "..." The fake Darles' face darkened and he shouted, "What are you talking about? Do you want to rebel? And Norman! What can you do if I can't prove it? What dare you do?" Since he couldn't win the argument, he could only act like a rogue. No matter what, Darles is the city lord! Since he cannot prove himself, it is not the turn of the Spirit Hall's people to judge him! "There's really nothing we can do, but I can invite you to sit in my Spirit Hall. When the high-level and higher-level Spirit Halls of the Star Luo Empire send relevant personnel over, we will conduct a more detailed investigation." Norman said in a calm voice. "Heh, do you want to put me under house arrest in disguise? What if I don't go as a guest?" The fake Darles waved his hand, and the soldiers who originally belonged to Luoxing City had to obey orders even if they hesitated. For the soldiers, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even if Darles is really in collusion with the Fallen, as long as he is still in the position of city lord, they have to obey. The remaining soul masters from the Wuhun branch hall surrounded Norman and confronted the opposite side. As for the last twenty or thirty adventurers, although they said they supported Norman, they did not take any actual action and stood on the other side with Luo Xing. The two sides have equal military strength and neither dares to act rashly. "Since this concerns the Fallen, even if my Spirit Hall cannot interfere in the management of Falling Star City, we have to break the rules for the safety of the residents of Falling Star City." Norman did not give in, and the spirit masters of the Spirit Hall around him were either possessed by spirits or releasing their spirits. White and yellow spirit rings were floating around, as if if Darles did not agree, they would take action directly and kill first and report later. The fake Darles's expression changed. This was the last thing he wanted to see. Although there are more people on his side, nearly half of them have soul power that has not reached the tenth level of soul warriors. They are just ordinary soldiers. If a real fight breaks out, it will definitely be one-sided. His own fighting ability is not as good as the real Darles. Moreover, there is a fence-sitter at the scene: Luo Xing. This guy is best at changing his stance according to the situation. Once he finds out that his side is unreliable, he will definitely lead the adventurers to join the other side. "Mr. Norman, why don't you listen to me?" Zhou Qing stepped forward and said, "Since the city lord has no way to prove his innocence, and we are worried that he will do something else if time goes on, why don't we let the adventurers from Notting City watch him?" "How do you see it?" Norman and the fake Darles were both curious. "Before the high-ranking officials of the Xingluo Empire and the higher-ranking Spirit Hall personnel arrive, we will temporarily live with Dales and monitor him. After all, according to the letter in your hand, the people who attacked the Xiao Mansion in Notting City seem to be closely related to Dales..." "It has nothing to do with me!" The fake Darles interrupted Zhou Qing directly. "But the existing evidence now all points to you, the greatest heroic Lord of Falling Star City in history." Zhou Qing placed one hand across his chest and bowed slightly, his words full of suspicion, "You and Mr. Norman don't seem to get along well, and Mr. Luo Xing is a native of Luoxing City, so he will inevitably be biased towards you. Therefore, we, who are not from Luoxing City, can only monitor you." "After all, we have also accepted the adventure mission of the Notting Guild, and we must give justice to Xiao Lang, the greatest mayor in the history of Notting City." "Moreover, since we are outsiders, we must be more objective than all the local people of Falling Star City present here, and we will not have any personal emotional tendencies!" The fake Darles' mouth twitched.
objective? No wonder! Otherwise, you wouldn't have beaten the real city lord into a state of disrecognizable form before setting off! But at the moment, he seems to have no better choice... (End of this chapter)
