"You're still asking me for an explanation?"
Beishan Yin's eyes glinted coldly as he stared at Han Ting. "My son is dead! Do you hear me? My son is dead! "
An icy light shot out, and an enormous dragon condensed from ice and frost charged out from Beishan Yin's head. It circled in the air, and icy air emanated from it as if it wanted to freeze everything.
"Recently, he's the only one who has a grudge with my son."
Pointing at Qi Heng, Beishan Yin's eyes were filled with boundless killing intent. "If it wasn't him, then who was it? Not just anyone can kill a disciple of the Antan Marquis Estate! This seat will investigate this matter to the end! "
"Not just anyone can kill a member of the Yinglong Guard!"
Han Ting raised his axe and pointed it at Beishan Yin. "If you want to investigate this matter to the end, then this general will also investigate this matter to the end! The Wind and Fire Immortals actually came to ambush my Yinglong Guard's trial. This matter won't end here. "
"Alright! Since everyone wants to investigate this matter, the method is very simple! "
Beishan Yin pointed at Qi Heng. "Whether or not my son was assassinated by him, we just need to soul-search him, and everything will be clear."
"Soul-Search?"
Qi Heng's brows twitched when he heard this, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
As long as the soul-searching technique in this world was executed properly, it wouldn't turn someone into a fool.
If Han Ting accepted Beishan Yin's suggestion, then this matter … would be very troublesome!
"Soul-Search? Beishan Yin, you're courting death! "
Han Ting raised his axe, and a vast golden light shot into the sky. "Are you blind? Can't you see his current condition? His true essence is in chaos, and his Purple Mansion constellation is on the verge of collapse. He only has half a breath left!
"Tell me, under these circumstances, what method do you have to rush back to Antan Commandery City in one night, break through the Manor Protection Array, break through the protection of six Itinerant Immortals, assassinate Beishan Fox, and then rush back from Antan Commandery City?
"Tell me, who can do it? As long as you give me an example and a method, I'll admit it! Otherwise, do you think I, Old Han, don't dare to kill?
"Even if he didn't do it, it must be related to him!"
Beishan Yin naturally knew that Qi Heng couldn't do this.
He had never treated Qi Heng as the real murderer. In his opinion, the person who attacked wasn't Qi Heng, but it was definitely related to him.
Not to mention others, even an Earth Immortal expert would not be able to travel hundreds of thousands of miles in one night without using a teleportation formation.
Every single activation of the Raindragon Guard's teleportation array was recorded. In addition, the activation of the teleportation array, as well as the trembling of space, couldn't be concealed at all.
So it wasn't Qi Heng who attacked. However, it was definitely related to Qi Heng!
"Unreasonable pestering and unreasonable!"
Han Ting stared furiously at Beishan Yin. "Beishan Yin, don't think too highly of yourself. You're not even the son of Marquis An Tan. Don't think you can do whatever you want. "
The huge axe in Han Ting's hand exploded with a radiance that filled the sky. Han Ting raised the huge axe, his eyes emitting a cold light. "Beishan Yin, you don't have the right to do as you please. Today, it was either fight or scram. Choose for yourself! "
"Han Ting, are you going to stand up for him? You want to become enemies with me, Beishan Yin, for a lowly barbarian from a small mountain tribe? "
Beishan Yin tightly clenched his teeth, flames burning in his icy eyes. "My son is dead! A disciple of the Marquis An Tan Estate is dead! He's a lowly barbarian, but he's still alive. Han Ting, you can protect him for now, but can you protect him forever? "
Coldly glaring at Qi Heng, Beishan Yin flung his sleeves and turned to leave.
"How … are you?"
Seeing Beishan Yin leave, Han Ting put away the weapon in his hand and turned to look at Qi Heng. "Have your injuries stabilized?"
"Thank you, General. My injuries are no longer a problem."
Qi Heng cupped his hands at Han Ting and thanked him.
Speaking of which, he really did use General Han Ting and had Han Ting block the disaster for him.
"That's good!"
Han Ting nodded, his expression turning solemn again. "This matter … isn't over yet! Beishan Yin won't let it go like this, and I won't let it go like this either! "
Han Ting tightly clenched his fists, fury surging in his eyes. "Did you know? Aside from you being attacked, Qin Gang is dead! My subordinate, the subordinate who followed me for several hundred years, is dead! I absolutely won't let this matter go like this! Not just anyone can kill the members of our Raindragon Guard! "
"Commander Qin … is dead?"
Qi Heng's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "Someone dared to attack Commander Qin in the Raindragon Guard encampment?"
"En, last night, Qin Gang died in the Raindragon Guard encampment."
Han Ting turned to look at Qi Heng and expressionlessly stared at him, causing Qi Heng's heart to pound.
"Originally, I also suspected you."
A moment later, Han Ting said, "Qin Gang had dealings with Northmont Fox. Perhaps your attack by the Wind and Fire Immortals was related to him. You, or someone behind you, attacked and killed Qin Gang, then killed Northmont Fox. This isn't impossible. "
"General, I …"
Qi Heng's heart tightened, and he was about to explain himself when Han Ting waved his hand and interrupted him.
"No need to explain!"
Han Ting chuckled. "Just now, I'm certain this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Eh?"
Qi Heng was startled. You're certain this has nothing to do with me? How can you be so sure? This matter … really was done by me. How can you be so certain it has nothing to do with me?
"Because …"
Han Ting pointed at the sky and clasped his hands in obeisance. "Because just now, His Majesty issued a decree, designating Old Demon of Black Mountain, Qi Heng, to participate in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny a year from now."
"Conclave of Immortal Destiny?"
Qi Heng frowned. Qi Heng didn't have much interest in this Conclave of Immortal Destiny that occurred once every three hundred years.
What Golden Immortal Daofather or Pure Yang True Immortal taking in a disciple? Qi Heng didn't need them at all. Putting aside the fact that he was "Hunyuan Supreme", Qi Heng couldn't possibly become a "classmate's" disciple even if it was because of his "seniority" in the Xuanhuang Palace, right?
"His Majesty's cultivation is exceedingly high, and he can see the entire world with a single glance. Since you've caught the eye of His Majesty and have been personally appointed by His Majesty, there's naturally no problem. "
Han Ting smiled and nodded at Qi Heng, his face filled with envy. "Given your talent, you'll definitely be able to stand out in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny. When you enter the sect, even His Majesty will have to address you as' Fellow Daoist '. You'll have reached the heavens in a single bound! "
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty!"
At this time, Qi Heng could only go along with Han Ting's wishes and thank him.
No matter what, Qi Heng felt much more relaxed now that he was no longer a suspect of murder.
Although Qi Heng could run to other prefectures with the crime of being a murderer, he would still be able to relax. However, wasn't it better to have one less problem?
To the Emperor of the Grand Xia, killing a disciple of the Marquis of Antan's estate and a low-level commander was nothing.
Once the Emperor of the Grand Xia spoke, even if Qi Heng was the murderer, he was no longer a murderer. Would Northmont Yin dare to disobey the Emperor of the Grand Xia?
"However … I'll have to make a trip to this Conclave of Immortal Destiny. Only Wanxiang cultivators can participate in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny. Within a year, I'll fuse with a first-grade Earthfiend, but I won't be able to immediately ascend to the Primal level. "
This was a small matter. Solidifying one's foundation was more important than increasing one's cultivation.
