Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Flat Denial

However, Young City Lord Qi Tian did not respond as readily as Yuan Long, but instead said with a smile, "I think, just as Yuan Long said quite rightly, with the Undying Blood Clan’s terrifying self-healing ability, those three sword scars of yours would have healed long ago. Why would they remain until now?"

"To attempt to identify the Lurker of the Undying Blood Clan solely based on this seems rather hasty."

Lin Yi’s gaze slightly sharpened, "You don’t need to worry about this. Are you afraid to let everyone check because you have a guilty conscience?"

Upon these words, the others also looked towards Qi Tian with suspicion emerging in their eyes.

Even Yuan Long took the opportunity to incite, "Qi Tian, if you really have nothing to hide, then be as open and aboveboard as me and let the kid have a check."

"Unless, you really are a member of the Undying Blood Clan and that’s why you’re hesitating and refusing to undress."

Yet, Qi Tian still made no move, "This is only Xu Qing’s side of the story. Are you all really going to put more faith in a stranger’s words than your own Young City Lord?"

"If the Lurkers of the Undying Blood Clan were so easy to identify, they wouldn’t have caused such upheaval in our Unrivaled Sacred City."

Lin Yi nodded, "Since Young City Lord Qi Tian is unwilling, I won’t force it."

"After all, it’s just a suspicion, not a certainty."

Though he said this, Lin Yi gave everyone the impression that he was giving up on the inspection. After all, he was dealing with Young City Lord Qi Tian and Lin Yi was, after all, just a guest. How could he possibly make a fuss in someone else’s home, unless he no longer wanted to stay in the Unrivaled Sacred City?

But just when everyone thought Lin Yi was going to drop the matter, he suddenly did the opposite and launched a surprise attack on Qi Tian!

Even Qi Tian himself did not react in time. Although he blocked Lin Yi’s first sword, his robe was sliced open by Lin Yi!

Under that robe, indeed, three sword scars were revealed!

"It is indeed you."

"The Lurker from the Undying Blood Clan."

The moment Lin Yi caught sight of those three sword scars, his pupils suddenly constricted as if he had made a significant discovery.

"What?!"

The people of Unrivaled Sacred City all showed incredulous expressions. No one had ever dreamt that one of their own Young City Lords could possibly be a Lurker from the Undying Blood Clan.

Even Yuan Long was in disbelief. Although he found Qi Tian very distasteful and the two had always competed openly and covertly within the Unrivaled Sacred City, he had only intended to use Lin Yi to suppress his opponent. He had never considered the possibility that Qi Tian could actually be a Lurker from the Undying Blood Clan!

However, even though Qi Tian appeared caught off guard by Lin Yi’s sudden attack, he still retorted defiantly, "Just based on Xu Qing’s story, you conclude that I, the Young City Lord, am a Lurker of the Undying Blood Clan?"

"These three sword scars are from when I fought against the Undying Blood Clan long ago. If this counts as evidence that I’m a member of the Undying Blood Clan, isn’t that laughable?"

At these words, the disciples of Unrivaled Sacred City, who had already believed Qi Tian to be a Lurker, fell silent once more.

Even Yuan Long, who had been shouting just moments ago, shut his mouth.

What Qi Tian said made sense.

All the evidence came from Lin Yi’s side of the story.

And Lin Yi, after all, was a stranger. How credible could his words be?

If they were to condemn one of their Young City Lords as a Lurker of the Undying Blood Clan based solely on Lin Yi’s story and what he believed to be the evidence, it would likely not be enough.

Staring coldly at Lin Yi, Qi Tian sneered inwardly.

This kid thinks he can just expose me like that? He is thinking too much!

But after this incident, he would probably become a prime suspect, which would have significant implications for his future actions.

This damned brat!

Qi Tian’s heart swelled with torrential killing intent.

After this matter, he was determined to eliminate Lin Yi at all costs!

"Xu Qing! I treated you as an honored guest and showed you great courtesy, yet I never expected that you would repay kindness with ingratitude and slander me as a Lurker from the Undying Blood Clan, wishing to doom me to a plight of no return," Qi Tian said as he glared at Lin Yi, looking extremely angry. "Do you understand the magnitude of the crime in slandering a Young City Lord?"

"Guards! Seize this man for me and take him to the Punishment Hall for judgment."

As his words fell, two Sealing King Realm Elders of Unrivaled Sacred City immediately stepped forward to apprehend Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi simply stamped his foot lightly, and the momentum that radiated from his body blasted the two elders from Unrivaled Sacred City away.

Then, his gaze towards Qi Tian turned sharp, "It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin."

"Do you really think that just by denying everything, I won’t be able to handle you?"

The smile froze on Qi Tian’s face.

As his words landed, Lin Yi suddenly released a Blood-colored Talisman which flew to hover above Qi Tian’s head.

The Blood-colored Talisman released a blood-colored Barrier, enveloping Qi Tian’s body within it.
