"Sect Leader, I know you're troubled because he's a Three Star Saint Inscription Master … Don't worry, Sect Leader. As long as he can prove that he has nothing to do with Zhao Feng's death, I'm willing to swallow my pride and apologize to him."
The old man said in a deep voice.
Now that things had developed to this stage, Jiang Wei knew he could no longer reject the old man. Even if he wanted to, he could not.
The old man had already made up his mind, and it was not something he could interfere with.
"Junior Uncle Qian, since you've made up your mind, I'll follow you."
Jiang Wei said.
The old man did not say anything else and allowed Jiang Wei to follow him.
Soon after, both of them arrived at Bai Li Hong's mansion together.
When Bai Li Hong received the report that the Sect Leader had arrived, he was not surprised. He had already heard about the news that was spreading like wildfire outside.
However, it had nothing to do with him so he was not worried at all.
Although he was not worried, he still felt a little heavy-hearted.
If the news was true, did it not mean Zhao Feng had tried to kill his junior brother?
He thought Liu Huan was the only one who wanted to kill his junior brother. He had overlooked Zhao Feng. 'Fortunately, nothing happened to Junior Brother. Otherwise, how could I face Teacher?'
The moment Bai Li Hong thought of this, he felt a little fearful.
However, he was surprised when he arrived at the main hall.
This was because the Sect Leader, Jiang Wei, was not the only one who came to his mansion. There was another familiar face as well. It was none other than one of the few Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect.
It was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect, Qian Kong.
"Greetings, Sect Leader, Elder Qian."
Although Bai Li Hong was a Three Star Saint Inscription Master and had a special position in the Moon Illumination Sect, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Jiang Wei and Qian Kong.
"Elder Bai Li."
Jiang Wei smiled in response to Bai Li Hong.
If it was any other time, Qian Kong would have smiled in response as well. However, he did not beat around the bush and said, "Elder Bai Li, I'm here today because of Zhao Feng."
"Rumor has it that Elder Qian and Elder Zhao Feng were once master and disciple. Although I don't know the reason, Elder Zhao Feng didn't become Elder Qian's disciple … However, under such circumstances, Elder Qian is still so concerned about Elder Zhao Feng's matter. It's really admirable."
Although he was shocked that Qian Kong was here because of Zhao Feng, Bai Li Hong still responded with a smile.
He had also heard about the matter between Qian Kong and Zhao Feng.
He had always wondered why Qian Kong did not accept Zhao Feng as his disciple.
"Although I believe in Elder Bai Li's character, I still hope to get a clear answer from you … Is Zhao Feng's death related to you?!"
Qian Kong stared at Bai Li Hong with burning eyes as though he wanted to see the slightest change on Bai Li Hong's face.
"It has nothing to do with me."
Bai Li Hong still had a smile on his face, but he shook his head.
"Do you dare to swear that you have nothing to do with Zhao Feng's death?"
Qian Kong continued asking.
Upon hearing Qian Kong's words, the smile on Bai Li Hong's face froze. He asked in a deep voice, "Elder Qian, you don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to confirm it! Elder Bai Li, as long as you're willing to swear that you have nothing to do with Zhao Feng's death, I, Qian Kong, am willing to bow and apologize to you! "
Qian Kong spoke again with a shocked expression on his face.
Naturally, Qian Kong's words shocked Bai Li Hong as well.
Qian Kong was willing to bow and apologize to him for Zhao Feng?
Did he hear wrongly?
Bai Li Hong could not help but look at the Sect Leader, Jiang Wei, who had been silent all this while. It was as though he wanted to get an answer from Jiang Wei about why Qian Kong cared so much about Zhao Feng.
Unfortunately, although Jiang Wei knew the truth, it was impossible for him to reveal it.
"Elder Bai Li, the relationship between Elder Zhao Feng and Elder Qian surpasses that of a father and a son."
Jiang Wei could only say this.
"Surpasses that of a father and a son?"
Upon hearing Jiang Wei's words, Bai Li Hong scoffed. If the relationship was really better than that of a father and a son, why did Qian Kong not take Zhao Feng as his disciple back then?
"Elder Qian, you're doubting my character by asking me to swear on the lightning penalty oath … I, Bai Li Hong, have never lied in my entire life! However, since you want me to swear on the lightning penalty oath, I'll do as you wish! "
Bai Li Hong said solemnly as he looked at Qian Kong.
After he finished speaking, he swore on the lightning penalty oath in front of Qian Kong and Jiang Wei.
The oath stated that Zhao Feng's death had nothing to do with him!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Nine claps of thunder sounded, and the lightning penalty oath came true. The lightning penalty did not descend from the sky. This meant Bai Li Hong was not lying.
Jiang Wei sighed in relief immediately.
He was really worried this matter had something to do with Bai Li Hong. If that was the case, he would be stuck in the middle.
Qian Kong was like a guardian of the Moon Illumination Sect.
Bai Li Hong was the only Three Star Saint Inscription Master in the Moon Illumination Sect.
Both of them were very important to the Moon Illumination Sect, and he did not want to lose either of them.
Now that things had come to this, it was finally a happy ending.
"Elder Bai Li, I apologize for my rudeness."
Qian Kong was a man of his words. After Bai Li Hong swore on the lightning penalty oath, he bowed and apologized to him.
Although he wasn't very sincere, he still lowered his arrogant head.
"Elder Qian, if there's nothing else, please forgive me for not seeing you out," Bai Li Hong said indifferently.
Based on his words, it was obvious he was asking his guest to leave.
He knew he was a good-tempered person, but Qian Kong's actions today had infuriated him.
"Junior Uncle Qian, let's go."
Naturally, Jiang Wei could feel Bai Li Hong's feelings. He immediately persuaded Qian Kong to leave as well.
"There's no hurry."
However, Qian Kong shook his head. At the same time, he looked at Bai Li Hong and said, "Elder Bai Li Hong, please ask your Junior Brother, Duan Lingtian, to come out."
"Elder Qian, what do you mean?"
Bai Li Hong's expression changed drastically as he asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Elder Bai Li, I believe Zhao Feng's death has nothing to do with you … However, I can't confirm that this matter has nothing to do with your Junior Brother, Duan Lingtian! Therefore, please ask your Junior Brother to come out so I can confirm it. "
Qian Kong said.
"What? Elder Qian Kong, do you intend to ask my Junior Brother to swear on the lightning penalty oath that he has nothing to do with Elder Zhao Feng's death? "
Bai Li Hong sneered.
"That's right."
Qian Kong nodded as a matter of course.
"Elder Qian, I swore on the lightning penalty oath earlier not only because I respect you, but also because I didn't want to make things difficult for the Sect Leader … Otherwise, with my temper, I wouldn't have swore on the lightning penalty oath! To me, it's an insult to my character! "
Bai Li Hong said with a cold face. His words were firm.
"Elder Bai Li, I've already apologized to you."
Qian Kong said in a deep voice.
"You've apologized?"
Bai Li Hong smiled brightly. "Elder Qian, if you put it this way, then I would like to ask … If I apologize to you after this, are you willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath according to my request?"
"Why not?"
Qian Kong said nonchalantly.
"Very good. Elder Qian, please swear on the lightning penalty oath that you've never done anything improper with your mother … What do you think? Although I believe in your character, I'd still like to confirm it with the lightning penalty oath. "
Bai Li Hong ignored Qian Kong's sudden change of expression and said coldly.
These words could not be said to be not poisonous!
Even Jiang Wei's expression changed. True Energy surged in his body. He was afraid Qian Kong would attack Bai Li Hong in a fit of rage. He was prepared to protect Bai Li Hong.
His heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. Why did he not realize Elder Bai Li's mouth was so vicious in the past?
Even if Qian Kong dared to swear on the lightning penalty oath, he would not swear on it.
This was because it was a great insult to him!
Not only was it an insult to him, but it was also an insult to his mother!
"Bai Li Hong, how many years has it been? You're the first person to arouse my killing intent!"
Qian Kong stared coldly at Bai Li Hong as killing intent flashed in his eyes.
If it was not for Jiang Wei whose strength was not inferior to his, and if it was not for the fact that he was the one who insulted Bai Li Hong's character first, he would have made his move long ago.
"Elder Qian, I just want to take this opportunity to tell you that some lightning penalty oaths can't be made just because you haven't done it before."
Bai Li Hong was not afraid of Qian Kong at all as he said nonchalantly.
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Qian Kong to reply before he looked at Jiang Wei again. "Sect Leader, I'm sure you've already investigated my junior brother's background and background. Do you think he has the ability to kill Elder Zhao Feng without my interference?"
"The lightning penalty oath I swore earlier is enough to prove that Elder Zhao Feng's death has nothing to do with me and my Junior Brother!"
Bai Li Hong said solemnly, "Elder Qian Kong has already insulted my character today. I won't let him insult my Junior Brother's character as well!
If I, Bai Li Hong, can't even protect my Junior Brother, how am I supposed to continue living in this world? "
When Bai Li Hong reached the end of his sentence, he became agitated.
"Elder Bai Li, please calm down. It's my fault for not telling Junior Uncle Qian about this."
Jiang Wei became anxious when he saw how agitated Bai Li Hong was. At the same time, he looked at Qian Kong and said, "Junior Uncle Qian, since Elder Bai Li swore on the lightning penalty oath that he has nothing to do with Elder Zhao Feng's death, I'm sure it has nothing to do with his Junior Brother, Duan Lingtian.
I've investigated his Junior Brother, Duan Lingtian. He's from Mound Hill City, one of the 18 cities under our Moon Illumination Sect … Moreover, he's from the Mortal Continent and doesn't have any other background.
With his strength, it's impossible for him to kill Elder Bai Li … With his background, it's also impossible for him to get someone more powerful than Elder Zhao Feng to help him. "
Jiang Wei finished his words quickly mainly to dispel Qian Kong's doubts. He was worried Qian Kong would pick a fight with Bai Li Hong again.
Upon hearing Jiang Wei's words, Qian Kong's expression eased a little. However, his eyes were still filled with killing intent when he looked at Bai Li Hong.
Bai Li Hong looked at him fearlessly as though he was not worried Qian Kong would attack him.
