C193 Under the Thousand Star Mountain
Tao Lian's facial expression changed. Ann Dongying had seen all the changes in his facial expression. When the two of them arrived at the depths of the dense forest, Ann Dongying furiously shouted, "Evil disciple, why aren't you kneeling down? Tell me, did you really attack Hsiao Mumei?"
At this point, Tao Lian knew that it was impossible for him to continue hiding the truth. Even his own master doubted him, and others would think that he was involved in the murder of Hsiao Mumei. He steeled his heart and told the truth.
" Bastard, if you killed another disciple of Azure Sky Castle, it would be fine, but Hsiao Mumei is the beloved disciple of Sect Master! "
Ann Dongying flew into a rage out of humiliation. He really wanted to kill Tao Lian and apologize to Luo Yeezhen, but Tao Lian was his successor. He couldn't bear to see Tao Lian die. It seemed like he still had to kill Qi Zhuohao to prove his innocence!
"Master, this disciple had no choice but to do so. That Qi Zhuohao is too strong. If this disciple didn't do that back then, this disciple would definitely die in Qi Zhuohao's hands. Master, you still have to help this disciple in this matter!"
Tao Lian prostrated on the ground. His tone was anxious and worried. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to participate in the trial of the Thousand Stars Cave.
"Forget it. This old man will try my best to help you, but you have to prepare yourself mentally. This matter will definitely be heard by the Sect Master. At that time, will the Sect Master believe you? I can't say for sure. Also, you have to think of a way. How can I kill Qi Zhuohao? "
Ann Dongying was a cunning old fox. He had already prepared for the worst. If it was really the last resort, he could only sacrifice Tao Lian. He was well aware of Luo Yeezhen's ruthlessness. The name of the most poisonous woman in Thousand Stars County was not a joke!
"Thank you, master!" Tao Lian stood up and said helplessly, "Master, with Great Master Wangkong here, we can't kill Qi Zhuohao!"
"This is indeed a problem. It seems like we won't be able to kill Qi Zhuohao here. How about this, you can bring the disciples of Azure Sky Castle to the Thousand Stars Cave to kill Qi Zhuohao. Are you confident?"
Ann Dongying had no other choice. It would be easier if Great Master Wangkong wasn't here, but this bald monk was here.
After hearing Ann Dongying's words, Tao Lian's facial expression changed once more. He replied with some fear, "I'm not completely confident, but I will fight Qi Zhuohao to the death!"
Tao Lian really didn't want to face Qi Zhuohao's scariness. Even if Ann Dongying were to fight him personally, he was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to kill Qi Zhuohao. If he brought these geniuses from Azure Sky Castle to kill Qi Zhuohao, the chances of him winning would be fifty-fifty at most!
"Alright, it's best if you can resolve this matter. If not... What will happen to you? No one can say for sure! " Ann Dongying coldly harrumphed and left the dense forest. This matter was related to his status in Azure Sky Castle. His heart was in a mess.
Looking at Ann Dongying's back, Tao Lian gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Old thing, at this critical moment, don't you want me to rely on myself? Master, pooh..."
Time slowly passed. Many families in the county and the disciples of the low level Yellow Sect arrived at the Thousand Star Mountain. Qi Zhuohao and Du Qingluo were talking when two figures suddenly walked towards them.
"Young Master Qi, how have you been? My son had some conflicts with young master and Miss Nan in the Thousand Searching Sect. I hope young master Qi doesn't take it to heart! " This man was Shentu Ling. He respectfully said to Qi Zhuohao. Then, he turned around and scolded Shentu Yuan, "Son of a b * tch, quickly apologize to young master Qi!"
Seeing this, although Shentu Yuan was unwilling, he still bowed and apologized to Qi Zhuohao according to his father's words. He already knew about the heaven defying background of Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia, so how could he dare to be humble?
"Shentu Si, those are all small matters. You don't have to remember them. If there's nothing else, you can do as you wish!"
Qi Zhuohao said lightly. Those were small matters to begin with. He did not take it to heart at all. If there were benefits, there would be conflicts. It was a small matter before a fight reached the stage of life and death. He had no interest in talking nonsense with Shentu Ling and his son.
"Young Master Qi is right!" Shentu Ling's face lit up. He was relieved that Qi Zhuohao didn't want to argue with Shentu Yuan. He did not care about Qi Zhuohao anymore. He looked at Du Qingluo and Jiang Mengyuan. "Poison Peak Lord, Jiang Peak Lord. I've heard a lot about you! Nice to meet you today!"
"You're too polite in the Shentu Clan!" Du Qingluo and Jiang Mengyuan did not want to respond to Shentu Ling and only replied faintly. Seeing this, Shentu Ling also knew that his status was low and he could not curry favor with others, so he could only leave with his tail between his legs.
However, when Shentu Ling left with Shentu Yuan, County Lord Lei Yan of the County City came in front of Qi Zhuohao and the rest alone. He first glanced at Lei Yunhai before cupping his fists at Qi Zhuohao. He said, "Young Hero Qi, I heard that you once went to the Flying Fish Wine House in Taihee Town. And there were some small conflicts, and my men were not sensible. Young Hero Qi, don't take offense! "
Qi Zhuohao was a little puzzled. Shentu Ling and Lei Yan were both important figures in the county. What was wrong with them today? They actually came to apologize to him? He had actually forgotten all those trivial matters.
"Lord County Lord, what are you saying? Do I, Qi Zhuohao, look like a petty person?"
Qi Zhuohao looked at Lei Yan with some displeasure. He really did not know if Lei Yan was afraid of his revenge or deliberately came to harm him. It was just a trivial matter, yet he had to say it out loud. The thoughts of these big shots in the county city... Qi Zhuohao really couldn't guess what they were thinking.
Lei Yan's face was full of smiles as he said, "Young Hero's words make sense. It's me who judged the heart of a gentleman with a petty heart."
As the County Lord of the County City, Lei Yan's status was not just a little higher than Qi Zhuohao, a core disciple of the Thousand Searching Sect. However, Qi Zhuohao's strength and reputation forced him to lower his head in front of Qi Zhuohao. A person who could even befriend Great Master Wangkong had limitless achievements!
More importantly, Shentu Ling had told Lei Yan about the fact that both of them were from the Drunken Star Tavern. He could ignore the Thousand Searching Sect or the Myriad Buddha Temple, but he had to treat the Drunken Star Tavern seriously.
Whether it was Qi Zhuohao's heaven defying strength and means, or Qi Zhuohao's powerful background, the Lei family couldn't afford to offend him!
"Alright, County Lord. If you have nothing else to say, forgive me for not keeping you company."
Qi Zhuohao's tone was still cold. To be honest, although Lei Yan's status was high, he did not put him in his eyes. Perhaps it was because Lei Yunhai was very close to the Cloud Piercing Peak's Peak Lord, Luo Ding, Qi Zhuohao did not have a good impression of the Lei family.
One should know that Luo Ding and the other two great Peak Lord had once colluded with Zhu Tianrong. Although the situation in the Thousand Searching Sect had stabilized, Luo Ding's position in the Peak Lord had also been revoked. However, this didn't mean that Luo Ding didn't have any relationship with Zhu Tianrong. Therefore, was the Lei family colluding with the Mengyin Mountain? This matter still needed to be investigated. It was better not to have any relationship with such a family.
Qi Zhuohao's attitude made Lei Yan very vexed. But... He could only suppress it in his heart. He wanted to continue to be polite with Qi Zhuohao. As such... He wanted to get closer to ___, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He gave Du Qingluo and the others a fist salute. He turned around and left.
"Zhuohao, it seems like you have been through a lot these days. Even Lei Yan and Shentu Ling took the initiative to apologize to you!"
Qi Zhuohao and Du Qingluo came to the grass beside them. Du Qingluo looked at Qi Zhuohao with a complicated look. She changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Zhuohao, have you found any clues regarding the Mengyin Mountain?"
"Ms. Qingluo, Yudia and I have found the Battle Soul Hall in Mengyin Mountain and destroyed it. It was really dangerous during that period of time. Fortunately, Great Master Wangkong helped us. I killed Hsiao Mumei and the others at that time."
Qi Zhuohao's indifferent reply made Du Qingluo nervous. Thinking back to the time when she destroyed a branch of Mengyin Mountain, it was also very dangerous. Luckily, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were fine.
Thinking of Nan Yudia, Du Qingluo quickly asked, "Zhuohao, where is Nan Yudia? Why is she not with you?"
Du Qingluo was clear about the relationship between Nan Yudia and Qi Zhuohao. The two of them who were inseparable actually separated. What was going on? Also, Bian Liansheng had previously said that Qi Zhuohao was a distinguished guest of Cloud Sect. This?
Regarding Du Qingluo, Qi Zhuohao did not have anything to hide. He lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Qingluo, Yudia is fine. She is currently receiving Senior Qiu Niang's treatment in the Cloud Sect."
"Nan Yudia is injured?" Du Qingluo was a little worried. "Is her injury serious?"
Qi Zhuohao was a little speechless. He could only tell Du Qingluo about Nan Yudia. Qi Zhuohao even told Du Qingluo that Qiu Niang was Poison Doctor Zhen Yulin's successor. He knew that Du Qingluo would keep this secret. Du Qingluo even told him and Nan Yudia about the Poison Scripture. Du Qingluo was on his side.
"So that's how it is. Nan Yudia came from the Great Desolate. Could it be that she is from the Great Desolate Southern Palace..."
Du Qingluo wanted to say something but stopped herself. She had already guessed Nan Yudia's origin but since Nan Yudia used an alias and did not even tell Qi Zhuohao, Du Qingluo could not expose it. She should not interfere in these matters.
"Ms. Qingluo, what did you say just now? What is in the vast wilderness?" Du Qingluo's voice was very soft and Qi Zhuohao did not hear her clearly.
Seeing this, Du Qingluo chuckled and waved her hand, "Nothing, nothing. Oh right, you have been to Myriad Corpses Mountain before?"
Du Qingluo's tone suddenly became very serious. Shen Wanteng and his wife went to Myriad Corpses Mountain and Qi Zhuohao got the Floating Life Tree from it. Did Qi Zhuohao meet Shen Wanteng and his wife before? Was Shen Wanteng and his wife still alive?
"Yes!" Qi Zhuohao nodded and his tone became serious. He continued, "Ms. Qingluo, the reason I was able to come back alive from Myriad Corpses Mountain this time was because of Sect Master and Lady Sect Master."
"Zhuohao, you really saw Sect Master and the others. Are they alright?" Shen Wanteng owed Du Qingluo a great favor. He really hoped that Shen Wanteng and Lady ___ were still alive. Since Qi Zhuohao had returned safely, Shen Wanteng and ___ should be fine as well.
However, what Qi Zhuohao said next completely disappointed Du Qingluo. Shen Wanteng and his wife had actually detonated their bodies and weapons to help Qi Zhuohao escape. They had already been crushed to pieces.
"Ms. Qingluo, don't be sad. That was the choice of Sect Master and the others. Oh right, you don't know that Shen Ji was actually their daughter. Furthermore, Shen Ji also has the physique of the Cold Blood Body. They saved my life. I will take good care of Shen Ji. "
Taking a deep breath, Du Qingluo's tone changed. She said, "Zhuohao, tell me the truth. Do you like Shen Ji? You want to take care of her? It can't be that they surpass you just because of the Sect Master, right? Back in Heavenly Nether Secret Cave, you also saved Shen Ji. "
Du Qingluo looked at Qi Zhuohao with a complicated gaze once again. She stared at Qi Zhuohao, making him feel a little embarrassed. "Ms. Qingluo, don't look at me like that. Why would I like Senior Sister Shen Ji? No matter!"
"You are still lying!" Du Qingluo laughed. He could tell that Qi Zhuohao was definitely interested in Shen Ji. "Zhuohao, you already have Nan Yudia, but you still think of other women. This is not a good man!"
