Chapter 790: Forcing San Yisheng to His Death

Among the civil and military officials of Xiqi, Jiang Ziya's status is naturally the highest.

After all, he has the backing of the Chan Sect.

Below Jiang Ziya, although the status of 'Jia Ren' is also high, there are two others on par with him: San Yisheng and Nangong Kuo. One is the head of the Native Faction of civil officials, and the other is the head of the Native Faction of military generals.

'Jia Ren' leans more toward the status of a civil official, and San Yisheng is his greatest competitor.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi said: "Marquis, it is very simple to verify if it is San Yisheng. This Daoist knows a Secret Technique that can make a person briefly lose their senses."

"Later, Marquis can have him summoned, and this Daoist will cast the Secret Technique."

"Then, while he is dazed, we will take his Mobile Phone."

"If he is a traitor, the most likely channel for leaking information is the Mobile Phone."

"If he is, then the truth will naturally come to light."

"If he is not, he will not notice anything unusual."

Ji Fa nodded solemnly and asked: "Does this Secret Technique have any harmful effects on people?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "It does not."

"Good, I shall send word to San Yisheng now; he has not yet left for Sishui Pass."

Ji Fa nodded solemnly.

He did as he said, picking up his Mobile Phone to send a message to San Yisheng.

Seeing this, the corners of Yin Qi's mouth curled up slightly.

Since he provided both the network and the Mobile Phones, it was an effortless matter for him to employ some tricks.

In this Primordial World, no one knows what a hacker is.

……

Half an hour later.

San Yisheng hurried over.

He had originally been preparing to head to Sishui Pass and had just been about to leave via the Teleportation Array when he received Ji Fa's urgent summons.

San Yisheng strode in, and Yin Qi softly uttered the word 'Suppress'. It was barely audible, not even heard by Ji Fa, and then San Yisheng froze completely, as if time had been frozen for him.

"Quick!"

Seeing this, Ji Fa shouted excitedly.

Yin Qi hurriedly stepped forward, reached his right hand directly into San Yisheng's dantian, pulled out a Top-grade Spirit Tool-level Mobile Phone, and handed it to Ji Fa, who had already walked up.

Dharma Treasure-version Mobile Phones can be stored within the body, so they cannot be dropped, and thus have no need for screen lock passwords or the like.

Soon, Ji Fa opened the Mobile Phone's call logs.

After checking months of call logs without finding any issues, he opened WeChat, where he also found nothing, so Ji Fa could not help but look at Yin Qi.

Yin Qi wore a frowning expression and suddenly said hurriedly: "Marquis, the Video App, Human Race Mall, Great Dao Forum, and others all have private messaging functions. If I were San Yisheng, I would not use phone calls or WeChat so openly to transmit intelligence."

"Reasonable."

Ji Fa nodded, and then checked each app one by one.

Finally, in the Video App, Ji Fa found an important clue: San Yisheng had actually sent many messages to customer service.

This was strange.

Who would have nothing better to do than to keep sending messages to customer service?

He clicked in to take a look and was instantly furious.

These messages numbered over a hundred, dating back to when the Mobile Phones were first released. Every message contained top-secret information from Xiqi, such as troop deployments, maps of pass Array Formations, videos of high-level meetings, and so on.

The images released by the Yang God at Sishui Pass were among them.

The last message was even a video of their meeting from yesterday, sent shortly after the meeting adjourned.

"Beast, you beast."

Ji Fa was furious, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

Looking at this ironclad evidence, even if he trusted San Yisheng, he had to accept the facts.

The Mobile Phones were created by the Yin Shang, and these applications were also created by the Yin Shang; therefore, by sending intelligence to the Video App's customer service, was San Yisheng not transmitting intelligence to the Yin Shang?

As for hacker techniques, how could Ji Fa understand such things?

He said loudly: "Daoist, seal his cultivation."

"Very well!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Qi took action and quickly sealed San Yisheng's cultivation.

As a high-level official of Xiqi, San Yisheng had all the cultivation resources he could want, but limited by his own aptitude and the short amount of time, he was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Conversely, this Clone of Yin Qi had taken the opportunity to 'cultivate' to the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

As San Yisheng's cultivation was sealed, Yin Qi secretly lifted the 'Word Manifestation' divine ability. San Yisheng instantly regained consciousness, and a moment later, his expression was one of great shock.

He had no memory of the time he was 'Suppressed', so his feeling was that he had just stepped into the great hall when his cultivation was inexplicably sealed; this shock was purely an instinctive reaction.

But Ji Fa did not know the details and instead interpreted this as a guilty conscience.

San Yisheng was still shocked as to why his cultivation had suddenly been sealed when he heard Ji Fa's cold voice reach his ears: "San Yisheng, my Ji Family has treated you well; why did you choose to betray us?"

San Yisheng was stunned.

He looked up at Ji Fa and saw a face full of hatred and murderous intent. He shuddered and hurriedly said: "Marquis, why do you say this? My family has served the Ji Family for generations, and our loyalty is witnessed by the sun and moon."

"Hmph, is that so?"

Ji Fa shoved the Mobile Phone in front of San Yisheng: "How do you explain this?"

"Eh, this is my Mobile Phone."

San Yisheng was stunned.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... books....!

How could his own Mobile Phone be in Ji Fa's hands, perfectly fine?

He took the Mobile Phone and quickly saw the hundreds of messages 'he' had sent to customer service.

Clicking in to take a look, he almost fainted from fright.

They were all top-secret intelligence from Xiqi.

San Yisheng trembled all over, a look of terror flashing in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Marquis, you must believe me, this is absolutely someone framing me. It's him, it must be him. He was originally from Zhaoge, he must have been bought off by the Shang Dynasty long ago."

He pointed at Yin Qi, already somewhat frantic.

Ji Fa sneered, "He framed you? Fine, then tell me, how did he frame you?"

Hearing this, San Yisheng was instantly stunned.

That's right.

How did Jia Ren frame him?

The Mobile Phone was his, it had never left his person, so how could Yin Qi have framed him?

But these messages really weren't sent by him.

………

One hour later.

Jiang Ziya and the others gathered in the main hall.

Looking at San Yisheng kneeling on the ground, everyone's expressions were cold and stern, with sharp glints flashing in their eyes from time to time.

In reality, they also did not believe it was San Yisheng.

But with the evidence laid out before them, no matter how San Yisheng defended himself, they had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing this, San Yisheng felt utterly disheartened.

He knew that no one present believed him, not even his once-closest friends.

"Hahaha!"

San Yisheng looked up to Heaven and laughed loudly, his laughter shifting from heroic to sorrowful, and then tears streamed down his face as he shouted, "Marquis, everyone, since you do not believe me, I have no choice but to prove my innocence with death. Jia Ren, I will wait for you in the Underworld."

"Wait—"

Nangong Kuo had just shouted out.

San Yisheng had already widened his eyes, his life force rapidly vanishing.

He had committed suicide.

His Primordial Spirit was annihilated!

Seeing this, Nangong Kuo and the others could not help but feel shaken.

The straightforward Yin Ji stood up, pointed at Yin Qi, and cursed angrily, "Demon Dao, it's all you, it must be the Ghost you made; you wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of San Yisheng so you could seize more power, right? I tell you, with us here, don't even think about it."

"Marquis, San Yisheng does not seem to be faking it; this must be someone framing him."

"Marquis, I believe this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

"Marquis, ever since this Demon Dao arrived, our Xiqi has become ruthless in its actions, deviating from our original path of benevolence and kindness, which is why we have this previous crisis of credibility; this must be something he has been plotting for a long time."

……

Tai Dian, Hong Yao, Qi Gong, and others all pointed their fingers at Yin Qi one after another.

Creatures grieve for their own kind; the rabbit dies and the fox mourns.

Although the evidence was conclusive, San Yisheng's suicide shook their convictions and allowed emotion to triumph over reason. (End of this chapter)
