"I'm guilty! I deserve to die! "
Tan Tao knelt on one knee and lowered his head to admit his guilt.
Yang Qingxuan cursed 'scheming b * tch' in his heart. He stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine. The cause of the matter is …" Then, he briefly explained.
Qi Huo, who was lying on the ground, and the other disciples of the aristocratic families had long been scared out of their wits. They were trembling non-stop. They were even more scared than when the knife was on their necks.
After hearing this, Dou Zhengzhen let out a long sigh of relief and said with relief, "Qingxuan is fine. I'm relieved."
Then, his face turned cold and he said coldly, "Qi Huo, there's nothing in this world that your Qi family can't solve, right?"
"I, I, wuwuwu …"
Under Dou Zhengzhen's cold gaze, Qi Huo was so scared that he cried. He pointed at Qi Lu and said, "It's this slave who said it. It's this dog slave who said it. It has nothing to do with me. Your Highness, it has nothing to do with me!"
Qi Lu was already seriously injured by the shockwave from Lu Jiangpeng's palm strike. At this moment, his face was pale and bloodless.
He said miserably, "Yes, it's me who said it. Moreover, today's matter is all my own. It has nothing to do with Qi Huo and the other young masters. I'm willing to apologize with my death!"
After saying that, he struck his own head with his palm. Immediately, his brain burst open and he died completely.
Everyone was moved by his actions of protecting his master with his own body. He had taken the responsibility alone. Now that he was dead, Qi Huo and the others were absolved.
"Yes, yes, this dog slave is right. It was all planned by him. It has nothing to do with us!"
Qi Huo saw that there was hope for him to get away with it and said happily, "Your Highness, please judge clearly!"
"Your Highness, please judge clearly!"
The other young masters also kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy.
"So that's how it is."
Dou Zhengzhen snorted coldly and said, "What a damn dog slave. It's too easy for him to die just like that."
Qi Huo said, "Yes, yes, it's too easy for him. Your Highness, don't worry. When I get back, I'll beat this dog slave's son into a slave and sell his wife and daughter to a brothel. I'll make sure his family will never rise again as punishment! "
The faces of the surrounding cultivators changed dramatically, revealing looks of anger. Especially those Qi Family cultivators who were still alive, their faces were filled with grief, indignation, and despair.
Dou Zhengzhen nodded and said, "That is good. Brother Qing Xuan, what do you think?"
Yang Qingxuan sneered in his heart. This Dou Zhengzhen obviously wanted to exonerate Qi Huo, but he was afraid that Lu Jiangpeng would be displeased, so he wanted to borrow Yang Qingxuan's mouth. Yang Qingxuan immediately said apologetically, "Qi Huo is a member of the Jingyun Kingdom, so it's naturally up to Your Highness the Crown Prince to deal with him. I have no right to interfere, but …"
His expression became unsightly as he clutched his chest and revealed a pained expression. "Although Young Master Qi Huo's sword was blocked by Tan Tao, the sword qi was too powerful and shook my heart meridian. There's no need for tomorrow's competition. You've won. I admit defeat. Master, let's go back to Cangnan Country. "
Lu Jiangpeng had used his True Qi to check Dugu Xin's body and found nothing out of the ordinary. He knew that Dugu Xin was pretending, so he played along and said angrily, "Hmph, Dugu Xin, I finally know who you are! You purposely came late and then secretly schemed! "
Dugu Xin was the most wronged. He didn't do anything and took the blame. He said gloomily, "This, this … Since Student Qing Xuan is injured, let's rest for a few days before we compete."
Yang Qingxuan shouted, "What's the use of resting for a few days? We have to rest for at least a year and compete again next year! Moreover, I don't dare to come to the Jingyun Kingdom again. If you want to compete, come to Cangnan Country next year! "
Everyone's face darkened. Dou Zhengzhen said, "Brother Qing Xuan, didn't you just say that you were fine?"
Yang Qingxuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "That was then, and now is now. I just used my True Qi to check my body. I might have been poisoned. Most likely, it's poison on Qi Huo's sword."
Qi Huo shouted, "No poison, there's no poison on my sword. Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'm innocent!"
Yang Qingxuan sneered and said, "I don't care if there's poison on your sword or not. I'm injured anyway, so I'm not competing. Master, let's go back to Cangnan Country now. If we stay in this damned place, who knows what they'll think of to harm us. It doesn't matter if I die, but if you're killed by them, the Seven Elders of Tian Cong will become the Six Elders of Tian Cong! "
Lu Jiangpeng was amused when he heard this. He cursed in his heart, "What nonsense!" However, his face was filled with righteous indignation. He said, "That's right! We're not competing anymore. We admit defeat and stop fighting! "
Dou Zhengzhen's expression was extremely ugly. He said, "Student Qing Xuan, what do you think we should do?"
Yang Qingxuan looked at him coldly and said, "You know."
Dou Zhengzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a sense of defeat. In terms of schemes and methods, he was confident in himself, but in front of this fifteen or sixteen year old boy, he seemed to be completely powerless.
Dou Zhengzhen knew that this was not the time to hesitate. His face immediately turned cold as he shouted, "Men, behead Qi Huo and these people!"
"Ah?!"
Qi Huo was stunned and couldn't believe it. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "Your Highness, it has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!"
Dou Zhengzhen's expression was cold. He didn't even look at him. He raised his hand and slashed out. Qi Blade flashed in the air and cut Qi Huo into two. With a "poof", blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground.
"Ah?!"
The other young masters were stunned. In the blink of an eye, their heads fell to the ground and their corpses were all lying on the street.
Dou Zhengzhen's expression was somewhat ugly. Killing these young masters would definitely cause a lot of trouble, but he couldn't care less at this time.
Suppressing the turmoil of these families was only a little troublesome. He had no confidence in calming Yang Qingxuan's temper and Lu Jiangpeng's anger.
Dou Zhengzhen said expressionlessly, "Brother Qing Xuan, are your injuries better now?"
Yang Qingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "Your Highness is wise. I just used my Qi to check my body and found that the poison has healed on its own. I can bet on the battle after resting for a few days."
The muscles on Dou Zhengzhen's face twitched. He said, "How long is a few days?"
Yang Qingxuan said, "It depends on the situation. Does Your Highness have any sacred healing medicine? You can give it to me. Maybe I'll be fine after eating more."
Dou Zhengzhen was furious, but he couldn't do anything. His entire face turned ashen.
Dugu Xin smiled faintly and said, "A few days it is. We'll fight again when your injuries are better. I've waited for five years, a few days won't matter. Your Highness, Elder Lu and Student Qing Xuan will stay in your residence. Treat them well. "
"Yes, Master."
Dou Zhengzhen replied. He was also very shrewd. He suppressed his anger in an instant and said with a smile, "I'll have someone send over some sacred healing medicine later. Student Qing Xuan should be fine soon."
Yang Qingxuan nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
