Chapter 507: Chapter 506: Talking Nonsense

Mengyun Chuan’s father, the lord of Qi Mountain, was named Meng Yuanhan.

After Meng Yuanhan administered an Elixir Pill to Mengyun Chuan, his complexion improved slightly. He then hurried over to help Mengyun Xiang stand up.

At this time, Lin Bai walked towards Qin Meng.

Seeing Lin Bai approach, Qin Meng’s face was filled with terror.

Just earlier, Qin Meng had watched, wide-eyed, as Lin Bai slaughtered over a hundred warriors with a single strike of his sword. The shock emanating from this display practically brought Qin Meng to the verge of mental collapse.

When he saw Lin Bai approaching, Qin Meng quickly knelt before Meng Yuanhan and screamed, "Alliance Leader, save me! Save me! This warrior named Lin Bai wants to kill me! He is a spy from the Yishan Family!"

An old man who had accompanied Meng Yuanhan stepped towards Qin Meng and asked, "What happened exactly? When we set out to trade for spirit objects, we divided ourselves into nine teams. How come the other eight decoy teams returned to Qi Mountain safely?"

"Why was this real one discovered by the Second Young Master of the Yishan Family?" the old man inquired.

Qin Meng looked at the old man, a glimmer of delight crossing his face as he exclaimed,"Dad, you’re here at the best possible time. It’s all because of this Lin Bai! He tipped them off. It’s all his fault!"

This old man was Qin Meng’s father, the present second-in-command of Qi Mountain, with considerable power and influence. His name was Qin Hai.

Like his son, Qin Hai had long since taken the hefty bribe from the Yishan Family.

Originally, the deployment of nine teams as a part of the plan on Qi Mountain’s trade outing was meant to divert attention. However, due to Qin Meng’s tip-off, the Second Young Master of Yishan was able to locate Mengyun Chuan directly.

On hearing Qin Meng’s plea, Meng Yuanhan gaze turned cold as he eyed Lin Bai.

Lin Bai scrutinized both Meng Yuanhan and Qin Hai in return.

Meng Yuanhan was still a high-level warrior of the Human Elixir Realm.

Meanwhile, Qin Hai was a formidable practitioner of the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

Qin Hai glared furiously at Lin Bai, bared his teeth and roared, "You have some nerve, daring to loot the treasures of my Qi Mountain. Today, even if you had three heads and six arms, you will undoubtedly die!"

"Alliance Leader, you need not handle this matter. Leave it to me. We must completely obliterate this spy from the Yishan Family!"

Upon saying this, Qin Hai launched himself at Lin Bai.

Qin Hai was desperate to kill Lin Bai immediately so that he couldn’t utter another word.

Simultaneously, Qin Hai secretly gave Qin Meng a thumbs-up in his mind for being able to shift all the blame onto Lin Bai completely.

Once Lin Bai was dead, no one would be able to direct any suspicion towards Qin Meng.

"Hold on!"

Mengyun Chuan yelled out at this point.

In a flash, he positioned himself in front of Lin Bai.

Mengyun Chuan coldly stated, "Elder Qin Hai, Brother Lin is not a spy from the Yishan Family. He is just a warrior who has come from afar and is simply seeking to gain experience in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

"Moreover, if Lin Bai hadn’t been here when the Second Young Master of Yishan made his sudden attack, I fear that we wouldn’t have lasted until you arrived to support us."

At this moment, Lin Bai added in an icy voice, "You are Qin Meng’s father? Ha ha, this urgency to kill me is no more than your desire to silence me as quickly as possible, to have me, a dead man, shoulder all the blame for your sins."

Qin Hai roared, "You traitorous sycophant, you still dare to slander us! Eldest Young Master, step aside! I must kill him today!"

Qin Meng kept repeating excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, dad, kill him, kill him!"

Qin Meng’s teeth itched with hatred for Lin Bai. He wished for nothing more than to see Lin Bai drop dead before him.

Lin Bai sneered, "Humph, although I am not sure who among you is the traitor, I did notice Qin Meng sneakily approaching behind Mengyun Chuan’s back. If I had not acted in time, the combined attack of Qin Meng and the Second Young Young Master of Yishan could have killed Mengyun Chuan instantly!"

"No need for me to spell out who the traitor is."

"I was just asking for directions, damn it, and all this crap happened because of it."

"Even if it kills me, I will never ask for directions again!"

Lin Bai bellowed angrily.

Qin Meng bellowed in return, "You’re talking rubbish! I approached the Eldest Young Master to protect him and fight off the Second Young Master of the Yishan Family!"

Qin Hai interjected, "That is correct. How could Qin Meng possibly harm the Eldest Young Master?"

Lin Bai retorted coldly, "Seems you guys are so intent on twisting black into white. Well then, since we’re almost at the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, I can’t be bothered to waste any more words with you."

"Qin Hai, Qin Meng, you want to kill me? Well, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!"

"Two measly runts, daring to threaten me!"

"Hmph."

Lin Bai snorted coldly.

Without a hint of emotion on his frosty face, Meng Yuanhan stood in place, not uttering a single word. His eyes were deep in thought, pondering over something.

At this moment, Mengyun Xiang stepped forward and stated, "Dad, I can testify that Qin Meng is indeed the traitor. Just now, when he was close to my brother, his knife was aimed straight at my brother’s back; I saw it clearly."

"If Lin Bai hadn’t taken action, our brother would probably be dead by now."

Hum—

Hearing Mengyun Xiang’s words, a chilly aura emanated from Meng Yuanhan’s body, causing Qin Hai and Qin Meng to tremble in shock, their eyes widen with alarm.

For the first time, Meng Yuanhan spoke, "Who is this Lin Bai?"

Mengyun Xiang stuttered, "He, he is just someone trying to pursue me."

Pfft—

Hearing Mengyun Xiang’s words, Lin Bai nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in anger.

It seemed like this misunderstanding was not something that could just be washed away, even if he were to leap into the Yellow River.

Lin Bai made a fist and said, "My name is Lin Bai of the Spirit Sword Sect from Shenwu Kingdom. I originally intended to ask for directions to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains for some training, but who would have thought that asking for directions would lead to all this mess!"

"Whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t matter to this old man."

Lin Bai stated angrily.

Qin Hai snapped, "Alliance Leader, this boy is trying to wriggle out. He’s at a loss for words. It has to be him. He’s the traitor."

After a glance at Lin Bai, Meng Yuanhan turned to Qin Meng, saying, "Open your storage bag. Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Qin Meng’s face paled and beads of sweat the size of grains began to form on his forehead.

Qin Hai cried out, "Alliance Leader, what’s the meaning of this? Would you rather believe a stranger than my own son?"

Meng Yuanhan said, "If Qin Meng would open his storage bag a prove his innocence, and is indeed innocent, I will naturally restore his rightful reputation and even award him compensation!"

"Qin Meng, open your storage bag."

Meng Yuanhan commanded.

Panic-stricken, Qin Meng looked at Qin Hai and pleaded, "Dad, save me, save me."

Qin Hai clenched his teeth and said to Meng Yuanhan, "Alliance Leader, this matter is of utmost importance. We should return and discuss it thoroughly."

At this moment, Meng Yuanhan completely ignored Qin Hai and spoke to Qin Meng again, "You keep refusing to open your storage bag. Are you hiding a Shadow Transmission Compass used for communicating with the Yishan Family?"

Thump!

Upon hearing Meng Yuanhan’s words, Qin Meng trembled in fear, as if his tail had been caught.

Qin Hai, too, was horrified.

"Mad! Run!"

A look of determination flashed across the terrified face of Qin Meng as he turned and prepared to flee!

And at this moment, Lin Bai’s gaze was firmly locked onto Qin Meng.

The moment Qin Meng made a move, Lin Bai had already soared into action.

With a squelching sound.

Lin Bai’s sword pierced through Qin Meng’s throat, spilling blood all over the ground.

"No!"

Seeing Qin Meng die, Qin Hai let out a heart-wrenching scream.
