Chapter 424: Chapter 418: Zuo Bin Who Cheats the Sect

"Elder Huaa, are you suggesting by some secret technique that you believe your grandson was murdered by a disciple of our Phantom Divine Sect?"

Qing Yii pointed at the twelve True Disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect below, led by Zuo Bin and Wen Zimo, who were still trapped within the ruins of the Sect Main Hall by the Water and Fire Spirit Chains.

Qing Yii could become the Grand Elder of the Phantom Divine Sect and deeply trusted by Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, and it wasn’t without reason.

As the two sides ceased hostilities, he had sufficient time to thoroughly ponder the whole affair, quickly arriving at the conclusion above; otherwise, the Tiannan Huaa Family wouldn’t have gone all out and fought to the death!

"Our Huaa Clan hasn’t gone mad. If we weren’t entirely sure, how would we retaliate tooth for tooth? Hmph, since you’ve exterminated the future of our Tiannan Huaa Family, we’ll ensure your Phantom Divine Sect has no tomorrow!"

Huaa Yan’s face was cold with resentment, and had it not been for the crucial information regarding the unborn child mentioned by Qing Yii, he would never have ceased his attack, ready to sacrifice everything of the Huaa Clan without hesitation.

With the Huaa Clan’s line ended, what use were those Soul Sea Realm house slaves carefully raised by the Huaa family?

Sacrifice everything, that’s best!

"Elder Huaa, let’s not discuss the authenticity of your evidence for now. I would like you to consider one thing first!"

"If our Phantom Divine Sect really did plot against your grandson, Huaa Wushuang, then how could we be unprepared for your family’s large force entering our Sect today? How could your surprise attack be successful?

If we really intended to deal with your Huaa family, even if you, Elder Huaa, are powerful, could you really outmatch the two Supreme Elders of our Phantom Divine Sect?" Qing Yii inquired.

Huaa Yan did not speak immediately. With his shrewdness, how could he not realize this? It’s just that he was solely focused on avenging his grandson and had not thought it through.

Now, he understood that the Phantom Divine Sect indeed bore them no ill will; otherwise, they would not have allowed twenty Soul Sea Realm experts of their Tiannan Huaa Family to enter deep within the Phantom Divine Sect.

Otherwise, just the Phantom Divine Sect’s Mountain Protection Array would be enough to give the Tiannan Huaa Family trouble.

Or perhaps if the Phantom Divine Sect truly intended to deal with the Tiannan Huaa Family, they could have let them in and set up an ambush in advance; by now, aside from the ancestor Huaa Yan, the rest of the Tiannan Huaa Family might have been wiped out.

"Even if the higher-ups of your Phantom Divine Sect did not murder my grandson, he was definitely killed by a True Disciple of your sect. Just for this reason alone, exterminating your entire Phantom Divine Sect is completely justified," he said.

As soon as Huaa Yan spoke, the Sect Leader of the Phantom Divine Sect, Fuh Dongxing, and the Supreme Elder, Huan Cang, immediately became furious. Under Qing Yii’s pleading gaze, they forcefully subdued their anger.

There was no other way. The Phantom Divine Sect had a large family and business with extensive connections.

The truly important part of the Tiannan Huaa Family was just a few members of the direct lineage bloodline. If the Tiannan Huaa Family were to fall, they could simply relocate, and in several decades or a century, they would be another great clan.

But the Phantom Divine Sect is different. If their power were greatly diminished, not only would the sect be doomed, but the entire Phantom Divine Empire would fall into disarray.

"Good, as long as you, Elder Huaa, believe that our Phantom Divine Sect’s higher-ups did not intentionally plot against your grandson! Then, everything gets easier from here on out!"

"What’s easier? Qing Yii, I urge you to immediately tell me the whereabouts of my late grandson’s unborn child, or else, even if I can’t annihilate your Phantom Divine Sect today, even if I, an old man, am the only one to escape alive, I will, at the cost of this old face, undertake covert assassinations and attacks and will ruin your Phantom Divine Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Sect Leader and Supreme Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect turned pale.

If a Vein Forging Realm expert were to abandon decency and attack the Phantom Divine Sect night after night with various despicable methods, it wouldn’t take long for the sect to face destruction!

"As for the matter of the unborn child, I will definitely tell you in the end, but for now, we need to peel this situation layer by layer and clear up the misunderstanding."

"May I ask you, Elder Huaa, how did you determine that it was a True Disciple of our Phantom Divine Sect who plotted against your grandson, Wushuang?" Qing Yii asked.

Huaa Yan’s gaze turned icy, and suppressing his anger, he spoke slowly, "My Huaa Clan’s bloodline is scarce; hence, on the personal belongings of each member with the direct lineage bloodline, a trace of a Divine Soul Imprint left by a senior family member is affixed. This imprint, forged through a secret technique, can last for forty years.

My grandson, Wushuang’s storage ring, pendant, Precious Armor, and Precious Fan all bear my secretly made Divine Soul Imprint; I can distinctly sense that my grandson, Huaa Wushuang’s storage ring, is right there!"

There, Huaa Yan pointed, his teeth gritted with fury, to the twelve True Disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect chained below by the Water and Fire Spirit Chains.

"This...."

Qing Yii was dumbfounded as well, not expecting that the Huaa Clan’s evidence would be such damning proof.

"Elder Huaa, who is it? Please point them out so that we may inquire in detail and uncover the truth!"

At those words, Huaa Yan, however, fell silent.

"Elder Huaa, do you really want your grandson, Wushuang, to die unknowingly and unjustly? Even if he was killed by a True Disciple of our Phantom Divine Sect, shouldn’t we clarify what exactly happened?

Was it a group attack, an ambush, or was someone else involved?

You don’t actually think that the twelve True Disciples down there possessed the capability to slay your grandson, Wushuang, do you?"

"Of course not!"

Huaa Yan roared like an enraged lion.

"Zhuer, go and pull out the murderer!"

On hearing this, the Family Head of the Tiannan Huaa Family leapt into action, charging towards the twelve True Disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect, making the hearts of those disciples hang in suspense, even looking at each other in confusion.

Including Zuo Bin, they all looked at their fellow apprentices because each of them knew very well that they hadn’t laid hands on Huaa Wushuang.

"Eh?"

Slap!

A huge slap landed squarely on his face, and Zuo Bin only felt darkness before his eyes. As he spat blood, his entire body was lifted into the sky like riding clouds and mist, while his fellow disciples were left stunned.

"Senior Brother Zuo, how could it be?"

From afar, Ye Zhen, who was observing everything through the eyes and ears of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, let out a soft sigh.

He knew that with Zuo Bin being exposed, as long as Qing Yii maintained the current state, the suspicion against Phantom Divine Sect would be cleared.

Even if it wasn’t cleared, with the layered analysis of astute figures like Qing Yii, Huaa Yan, Huaa Zhu, Fuh Dongxing, Huan Cang, and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, even if the truth wasn’t found, it wouldn’t be far from it.

By then, Ye Zhen’s troubles would come.

Ye Zhen felt somewhat regretful, and admired Qing Yii a little.

If it hadn’t been for Qing Yii’s efforts to turn the tide, the Tiannan Huaa Family and Phantom Divine Sect might have already fought to the bitter end. With the nearly equal strength of the two families, no matter who won, it would be a ghastly victory.

The family left unscathed would not be able to trouble Ye Zhen for a long time.

But now, the martial artists of the Soul Sea Realm had almost fought to exhaustion, but the real power, the warriors of the Vein Forging Realm, still existed.

Of the three Vein Forging Realm powerhouses of Phantom Divine Sect, one was severely injured and unconscious, and Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing was also not lightly injured, but their power remained intact.

However, Ye Zhen wasn’t at all worried about Phantom Divine Sect. The Sect, with its large size and many involvements, had many enemies and simply couldn’t possibly mobilize all its resources to seek revenge against Qiyun Sect.

What Ye Zhen worried about was the Tiannan Huaa Family.

Just as Huaa Yan had said earlier, without any hope left for the Huaa Family, as long as the old fellow completely abandoned all semblance of decency and hid in the shadows to assassinate and ambush, not to mention Qiyun Sect, even Phantom Divine Sect would be helpless. The only outcome would be annihilation.

Without a doubt, the strength displayed by the Huaa family ancestor, Huaa Yan, was terribly frightening.

Although Ye Zhen did not know which level of the Vein Forging Realm Huaa Yan’s cultivation was, in terms of one-on-one fights, none of the Vein Forging Realm warriors from Phantom Divine Sect would be his match.

Therefore, Qiyun Sect’s Sect Leader Guo Qijing, would also not likely be Huaa Yan’s opponent.

With such a terrifying existence lurking in the shadows, it would cause restless nights for anyone.

Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed tightly, and he had to think of a way to deal with the old fellow, Huaa Yan.

Otherwise, Qiyun Sect, Ye Zhen’s family, and even all those associated with Ye Zhen, would face imminent disaster.

"What should I do? Should I seek help from Stars Tower?"

Ye Zhen’s brows were tightly locked as he pondered....

"Do you see that, Sect Leader Fuh? Do you see this? This is the storage ring of my grandson Wushuang, marked with our Huaa Clan’s unique secret patterns, and it even has the Divine Soul Imprint I personally left on it. Yet now, it’s in the hands of your Phantom Divine Sect’s True Disciple!"

As Huaa Yan held up Zuo Bin’s left hand and laughed bitterly, amidst his bitter laughter, he exerted a slight force, and Zuo Bin’s left hand was immediately severed at the base. A blood-drenched severed hand was brandished chaotically in Huaa Yan’s grasp.

"Look, look at this; this is the irrefutable evidence! With this unequivocal evidence, even if all the members of your Phantom Divine Sect were to perish, it would not make up for my grandson’s life!"

"No...."

"I didn’t!"

"I didn’t kill Young Master Huaa!" At that moment, the befuddled Zuo Bin finally screamed out, ignoring the pain of his severed hand, and shouting loudly.

He knew all too well the consequences if he were confirmed to be the murderer.

"Grand Elder, I really didn’t do it! Even if I wanted to kill Young Master Huaa, I would need the strength to do so! Let alone one of me, even two or three of me would not be a match for Young Master Huaa!"

Zuo Bin’s outcry made Qing Yii’s brows tighten.

"Not you! Then who was it? Don’t tell this old man that you picked up this storage ring, did you?" sneered Huaa Yan.

"Zuo Bin, speak quickly, where did you get this storage ring from? Without the truth, even I can’t save you!" Qing Yii shouted sternly.

"Storage ring?"

Zuo Bin’s expression tightened, and he almost regretted his actions to his guts. If he had known that the storage ring was of such significance, he would have never touched it, not for the life of him.

"Could it be Senior Brother Bu Changtian?"

"It was Senior Brother Bu Changtian! Inside the Black Dragon Secret Palace, after receiving the distress signal from Senior Brother, I rushed over only to find Senior Brother’s corpse!

At that moment, I noticed an unfamiliar storage ring on Senior Brother’s finger, and greed took over... so I took it...."

Zuo Bin no longer cared for anything else and blurted out everything about the storage ring.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yii was stunned and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the end, it turned out that Zuo Bin’s greed had brought such a disaster to the Sect. If the ring had been turned in, the Sect Elders would certainly have detected the aura of the Divine Soul Imprint, and such a debacle would have been avoided!

This moment, Qing Yii felt an urge to chop Zuo Bin to pieces!

"You pitiful thing that has harmed our Sect! How dare you be so greedy, daring to covet such an item and not report it, why don’t you just die!"

Huaa Yan, the elder of the Huaa Clan, started laughing wildly, his laughter as mournful and shrill as a gibbon’s weeping blood.

"It was your Phantom Divine Sect’s Disciple Bu Changtian who killed my grandson Huaa Wushuang, Qing Yii, what more do you have to say now!"

"Fuh Dongxing, this is a confession from your own Sect’s Disciple; what more do you have to say!" Huaa Zhu also roared angrily.

In an instant, the foreheads of Phantom Divine Sect’s Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, Grand Elder Qing Yii, Supreme Elder Huan Cang, and the others began to sweat coldly! (To be continued.
