Chapter 2429: Chapter 2449: A Different Story, Weird!

Luo Hongdan, having received her father’s inheritance and achieved the status of Quasi-Saint, must have had a father whose strength was naturally formidable.

He would have been either a Quasi-Saint or a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal.

Breaking through again, wouldn’t that make it the Saint Realm?

Luo Hongdan nodded, her eyes brimming with an undeniable sadness and remembrance, "Yes."

Qi asked, "Regarding my Master being hunted and killed, what do you know?"

Luo Hongdan replied, "My father was not aware when Ancient Uncle was besieged. Afterward, my father went to investigate, wanting to see if he had escaped, but those involved in the chase all said that your father was killed on the spot, body and soul are wiped out."

Qi fell silent; she too had looked into it before, and the conclusion was consistent with what Luo Hongdan had said.

Was Qi’s master really dead?

At this moment, Lin Chen already knew that Qi’s master was like a father to her, and he also felt full of sympathy for her current state.

She must have hoped countless times that her master was not dead, which was why she was so diligent in searching for evidence, trying to prove that he was still alive or that he had truly died.

While Lin Chen and Qi were immersed in silence, Luo Hongdan suddenly spoke again, "Although everyone says that Ancient Uncle was killed, body and soul are wiped out, when my father sought confirmation during his investigation, there were two people whose accounts were different..."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up, different?

Could that mean there might be a hidden issue with this matter?

Before Lin Chen could ask, Qi’s anxious voice already sounded, "What were the differences in their accounts?"

Luo Hongdan answered, "My father asked them how Ancient Uncle died. The accounts of these two people differed. One said he was struck by several Magical Treasures, his body directly shattered to death. The other said he was severely injured and fell into a Space Domain, torn into pieces and died..."

Lin Chen said excitedly, "They were both involved in the chase?"

Luo Hongdan nodded, "Yes, my father found it suspicious at the time. After getting the second account, he turned back to question the first person. The first person then changed their statement, saying he was injured at the time and not at the scene, that he heard it from someone else. When asked who it was, he said he couldn’t remember..."

Lin Chen widened his eyes, "If both of these individuals were at the scene, then at least one of them must be lying. So why lie?"

Luo Hongdan calmly said, "My father suspected at the time that Ancient Uncle was still alive. He continued the investigation for a long time, but there were no results, and the matter just faded away."

Lin Chen couldn’t help asking, "Wasn’t your father a good friend of Xi Jie’s Master? He was chased and killed to death. Since your father knew who the murderers were, why didn’t he help take revenge?"

Luo Hongdan gave Lin Chen a glance, answering in a flat tone, "Too strong for us to confront or provoke."

A chill went through Lin Chen, not because of Luo Qinghe’s inaction, but because of the immense strength of the Chasers.

Luo Hongdan didn’t make excuses, admitting directly that they were too strong to confront or provoke; this meant that Luo Qinghe did consider avenging his friend, but if they were too strong, what could he possibly do?

If he had succeeded in Breaking the Realm, maybe he could have done something, but having failed, what more was there to say?

Breaking the Realm?

Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Chen, "Does Senior Luo’s Breaking the Realm have anything to do with this matter?"

Luo Hongdan pursed her lips, "Originally, he didn’t need to be so rushed, but he couldn’t wait."

So that’s how it was!

Luo Qinghe and Xi Jie’s Master were close friends. After Xi Jie’s Master was murdered by powerful adversaries, Luo Qinghe, eager for revenge but lacking sufficient strength, gambled on an impetuous breakthrough and ultimately failed.

As Luo Qinghe’s daughter, while she rationally understood the matter, she inevitably held resentment towards this ’Ancient Uncle’. This was why, upon seeing the Linglong Tower and meeting Qi, she didn’t exhibit the joy of encountering an old friend but instead was adversarial and critical.

She knew it wasn’t Qi’s fault, but it was obviously impossible for her to be overtly warm towards Qi.

After a few seconds of silence, Qi said softly, "I’m very sorry..."

Luo Hongdan replied calmly, "It was my father’s own choice, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "Do you know who those two people with inconsistent statements are? Can you tell me their names?"

Luo Hongdan nodded and revealed two names.

Qi said calmly, "Thank you, I will continue investigating this matter."

Luo Hongdan didn’t stop her, knowing full well Qi’s emotional connection with her Master.

"Alright, we’ve talked enough. I have done what I promised you. Now there is one more thing, who do you wish to leave with?"

Lin Chen replied, "Master Floating Cloud, Liuyun, Xuanhe... Lou Zihan."

Lin Chen’s voice paused for a moment, then he reluctantly added Lou Zihan’s name, "Luozi Han was poisoned by his Master, Ghost True Man’s venom, and is under the control of the poison..."

Luo Hongdan hummed in acknowledgment, and the next second, her voice echoed through the Nine Heavens, spreading across the entire world.

"The Phoenix Fire Spirit is now in my possession. All should cease their search and conflict and immediately return to camp!"
