The Immortal Guards ignored him and turned to Lin Mu. Their eyes scanned his shackles, the cracked stones, and the several empty vials rolling near his feet.
One of them bent down, picked up a vial, uncorked it, and sniffed the contents.
His eyes sharpened. "Poison. High level Wood elemental poison. And more than one type."
Another guard spoke, voice booming through the jail. "You attempted to poison a prisoner under Western Immortal Court custody."
The captains froze. "No. No, he drank them himself. He tried to kill himself. That man is insane."
The criminals erupted in anger.
"That is a lie!"
"He drank them because they forced him!"
"They attacked him first!"
The guards dismissed them. "You are criminals, your words hold no weight."
Lin Mu finally spoke. His tone was calm, but it cut through the noise like a blade.
"I have evidence."
The captains turned sharply. "What evidence?"
