No matter what, Bai Li Hong was still a Three Star Saint Inscription Master. He was important to the Moon Illumination Sect.
Qian Kong knew Jiang Wei would stop him if he made a move. Moreover, Jiang Wei would be displeased so he held himself back and did not make a move.
If he was alone, he would not be afraid of Jiang Wei since his cultivation base was at the Saint Stage.
However, he still had many descendants in the Moon Illumination Sect. If he wanted his descendants to live a good life, he could not offend Jiang Wei. He had to know when to stop.
Just like now, Jiang Wei had already explained to him. If he still did not know what was good for him, it would mean he was deliberately going against Jiang Wei.
"Elder Bai Li, I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused you today."
After Qian Kong left, Jiang Wei sighed in relief and apologized to Bai Li Hong with a wry smile on his face.
"Sect Leader, this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize."
Bai Li Hong shook his head. Naturally, he would not vent his anger toward Qian Kong on the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader had always taken care of him.
Otherwise, he would have left the Moon Illumination Sect long ago because he could not resist the temptation of other forces.
"No matter what, I'm partly responsible for this … How about this? I heard many of your Junior Brother's friends and family have joined the sect. I'll give them one million Merit Points each as an apology to you, Elder Bai Li."
Jiang Wei was a shrewd person. He knew Bai Li Hong would definitely reject him if he compensated him directly. That was why he said he would give Feng Wu Dao and the others Merit Points.
As it turned out, he was right to do so.
"In that case, thank you very much, Sect Leader."
Although Bai Li Hong wasn't willing to accept Jiang Wei's compensation, this compensation was related to his Junior Brother's family and friends. Moreover, such a large amount of merit points would be of great use to his Junior Brother's family and friends, so he didn't refuse.
"You're too kind, Elder Bai Li."
Jiang Wei sighed in relief when he saw Bai Li Hong had tacitly accepted the apology. He bade farewell and left.
As the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, it was only natural that Jiang Wei would agree to it. In just half a day, an inner court elder came to Bai Li Hong's mansion and transferred the Merit Points to Feng Wu Dao and the others.
One million merit points each!
Currently, Feng Wu Dao and the others were no longer the hotheads who had just arrived at the Moon Illumination Sect. Naturally, they knew what Merit Points meant. Due to this reason, all of them were dumbfounded.
"Are these merit points given to us by the Sect Leader?"
Only after that Inner Court Elder left did Feng Wu Dao and the others withdraw their gazes from the crystal cards in their hands. For a time, they looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other's eyes.
They had no idea what was going on.
To them, the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect was high and mighty. With their current status, they would never be able to come into contact with him at all.
However, such a high and mighty existence had actually given each of them a million merit points for no reason.
"It must have been Elder Bai Li who fought for us."
Sima Chang Feng asserted.
At this moment, the others also deeply felt that this was the case. Only that Elder Bai Li possessed such enormous prestige.
By the time Duan Lingtian learned about this matter, it was already a few days later.
As soon as he came out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he came to look for Feng Wu Dao and the others to see if they were getting used to staying in the Moon Illumination Sect. At the same time, he also learned from Feng Wu Dao and the others that they had obtained a million merit points each.
When he heard that the merit points came from the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, he was a little surprised as well.
At this moment, he could faintly sense that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
What a joke!
Feng Wu Dao and the others had obtained a million merit points each. In total, it was close to 10 million merit points.
Even if the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect did not lack merit points, it was impossible for him to give them away like this. Moreover, he had given them to a group of people who had just entered the Moon Illumination Sect.
Out of curiosity, Duan Lingtian immediately went to look for Bai Li Hong.
"Senior Brother, I heard that the Sect Leader gave Uncle Feng and the others a million merit points each … What's going on?"
When Duan Lingtian saw Bai Li Hong, he did not beat around the bush and asked.
When Bai Li Hong saw the doubt on Duan Lingtian's face, he smiled faintly. "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that the Sect Leader insisted on giving me an apology. He knew that I wouldn't accept it if he gave it to me directly, so he came up with this idea. I have no choice but to accept it."
"The Sect Leader gave you an apology?"
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he was even more confused. "Why did he give you an apology?"
"Because of Zhao Feng."
Bai Li Hong stared deeply at Duan Lingtian.
During these few days, Bai Li Hong had been thinking about this question over and over again.
Was Zhao Feng's death really a coincidence?
Although he didn't think that his Junior Brother had the strength to kill Zhao Feng, it was too much of a coincidence.
In the past, Zhao Feng had left the sect on his own many times, but nothing had ever happened to him.
However, this time, something had happened while he was hunting down his Junior Brother. He had lost his life as soon as something happened.
"Zhao Feng?"
When Duan Lingtian heard Bai Li Hong's words, he raised an eyebrow. "I think I've heard of this person before … He seems to be Feng Fan's master whom I killed before."
Although Duan Lingtian looked calm on the surface, ripples could be seen in his heart.
'It seems like Zhao Feng has a Soul Pearl as well.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Junior Brother, there are two pieces of news that have been spreading outside recently. I'm sure you haven't heard about it, right?"
Bai Li Hong asked with a smile.
"What news?"
Indeed, Duan Lingtian did not know about it since he had been cultivating in closed-door cultivation on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to break through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. Although he had not made the final breakthrough yet, he had already reached the final bottleneck.
Feng Wu Dao and the others did not know about the two pieces of news since they did not go out recently. Therefore, it was impossible for them to tell Duan Lingtian about it.
Then, Bai Li Hong told Duan Lingtian about the two pieces of news that had been spreading outside.
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. "I can't believe so many things have happened outside while I was in closed-door cultivation … Senior Brother, who do you think is the one who spread these two pieces of news?"
"Is there even a need to guess?"
Bai Li Hong narrowed his eyes. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as though he was about to devour someone.
"Indeed, there's no need to guess."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"As for the compensation from the Sect Leader, it has something to do with the news … A few days ago, the Sect Leader and Elder Qian Kong came together to confirm if Zhao Feng's death had anything to do with me."
When Bai Li Hong reached this part of his sentence, he told Duan Lingtian what had happened a few days ago.
"Elder Qian Kong? “
Duan Lingtian was puzzled.
"He's the Supreme Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect. He's one of the few Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect. “
Bai Li Hong explained.
Saint Stage powerhouse!
Duan Lingtian was shocked. "Could it be that he's related to Zhao Feng?" “
Since Zhao Feng's death could make Qian Kong go that far, it was impossible for him to believe that the two of them had nothing to do with each other.
"I also didn't expect Qian Kong to apologize to me for Zhao Feng's death … To be able to make a Saint Stage powerhouse bow down to him, the relationship between him and Zhao Feng must not be simple. It's impossible that they're not even master and disciple."
Bai Li Hong said confidently.
"Maybe he's his illegitimate son."
Duan Lingtian said casually.
It did not cross Duan Ling Tian's mind that his casual remark, which sounded like a joke, happened to hit the mark.
"Senior Brother, the lightning penalty oath that you made Qian Kong swear on is really ruthless … At that time, Qian Kong must have wanted to kill you, right?"
Duan Lingtian seemed to be smiling, but his heart was heavy.
The reason Bai Li Hong had acted that way was to protect him.
However, when he turned around, he did not even admit to killing Zhao Feng in front of Baili Hong.
"Of course, he wanted to kill me!"
Bai Li Hong smirked. "Unfortunately, the Sect Leader won't let him have his way. Moreover, even if he really kills me, he won't have an easy time in the Moon Illumination Sect. At that time, not only the Sect Leader, but the other Saint Stage powerhouses in the sect will be dissatisfied with him as well. He might be able to walk away, but he won't be alone unless he doesn't care about his descendants. "
Although Bai Li Hong said it casually, Duan Lingtian could feel the danger that Bai Li Hong was facing at that time. He was touched, but at the same time, he was afraid.
If something happened to Bai Li Hong because of him, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"Senior Brother, there's something that I haven't told you yet."
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian said to Bai Li Hong, "I killed Zhao Feng."
Boom!
When Duan Lingtian's words entered Bai Li Hong's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
His Junior Brother had killed Zhao Feng?
Originally, although he guessed Zhao Feng's death had something to do with his Junior Brother, it did not cross his mind that his Junior Brother was the one who killed Zhao Feng. He only thought his Junior Brother had a hidden background and could order some powerhouse to kill Zhao Feng.
However, after listening to Duan Ling Tian's words, he realized he had made a mistake.
"Junior Brother, y-you really killed Zhao Feng?"
Bai Li Hong asked in disbelief after being stunned for a long time.
"Senior Brother, there's no need for me to lie to you about this. Before I left the sect, I purposely spread the news that I was going back to my hometown to lure Liu Huan in. Who knew Zhao Feng would come after me instead of Liu Huan. It was completely out of my expectations. "
Duan Lingtian said, "He wanted to kill me, but unfortunately, he died in my hands in the end."
"Junior Brother, you should've told me about your plan in advance. The reason Liu Huan didn't chase after you was because I kept an eye on him after you left."
Bai Li Hong smiled wryly. "Under my watch, how could he have the chance to chase after you?"
"Senior Brother, you …"
Duan Lingtian was rendered speechless by Bai Li Hong's words.
He was wondering why Liu Huan did not chase after him with his character.
As it turned out, it was his Senior Brother who stopped Liu Huan.
"Junior Brother, if you have any plans in the future, it's better for you to discuss them with me. I don't want to ruin your 'good deed' again."
Bai Li Hong sighed. He emphasized the word 'good deed'.
"Senior Brother, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
