66: Qingqiu Accountability
When Wu Ming saw this person arrive, the expression on his Face instantly turned gloomy.
When he heard that two more Grandmasters had fallen in Daqian.
Several veins bulged on his forehead.
The Daqian Grandmasters dispatched by Jin Yang Cave to search for resources.
They just died like that.
Died for no clear reason.
Yet, this person had an indifferent expression, as if their Daqian Grandmasters were like stray dogs on the side of the road.
This was what angered him the most.
However, Wu Ming could not show any anger at this moment, fearing that he might offend this person from Jin Yang Cave.
Otherwise, the situation of their Daqian Grandmasters outside would become even worse.
He could only bury this grievance deep in his heart.
"May I ask who True Monarch Chang is looking for in my Daqian Martial Temple?" Wu Ming said, suppressing his anger.
Chang Wen had a faint smile on his Face, glancing sideways at Wu Ming.
Then he chuckled, "You know, my Jin Yang Cave has always been on good terms with the Qingqiu Fox Clan. A day ago, an Elder from Qingqiu wrote to say that one of his Disciple-grandsons died for no clear reason in Daqian territory, so he asked me to come and demand an explanation!"
Wu Ming heard this and said, puzzled, "If someone from the Qingqiu Fox Clan dies in my Daqian territory, does that automatically mean a Daqian person killed them?"
Chang Wen said, "Temple Keeper Wu, don't worry. I'm just asking on behalf of my good friend. After all, it was his most beloved Disciple-grandson who died.
I hope you can understand his eagerness to find the killer!"
Wu Ming snorted.
"My Daqian can barely cope with the great demons rampaging within our borders, so why would we cause trouble and kill those foxes from Qingqiu!"
Chang Wen scrutinized Wu Ming, determining that he didn't seem to be lying.
However, this matter couldn't just be brushed aside.
Because it wasn't a small fry who died, but the Qingqiu Elder's most beloved Disciple-grandson.
And coincidentally, it happened in Daqian territory.
So, Daqian definitely bore some responsibility for this matter!
"I don't care if you genuinely don't know, or if you're deliberately concealing it, but since that fox died here, you must take responsibility!"
Chang Wen said in a strong tone.
Wu Ming glared, angered, "You..."
Chang Wen snorted coldly, "Otherwise, if Qingqiu insists on causing trouble for you, then I can't do anything about it!"
Wu Ming's expression grew even uglier!
Just then, Song Ming spoke calmly, "What kind of place is Qingqiu?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the gazes of both men were immediately drawn to him.
Wu Ming had originally intended to evade this matter.
After all, he genuinely didn't know who killed that fox.
But as soon as Song Ming spoke, a thought immediately flashed through Wu Ming's mind.
Three days ago.
It was the day Song Ming went to the four states to slay demons and monsters.
And the death of that fox from Qingqiu also seemed to have happened a few days ago.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, he was startled and quickly said, "Alright, Song Ming, there's nothing for you here, hurry up and leave!"
As he spoke, he tried to pull Song Ming out of the Martial Temple.
Seeing this, Chang Wen immediately became alert.
Something was wrong.
This young man in front of him was very unfamiliar.
He was certain he had never seen this person before.
And now that he was here to find the killer, Wu Ming was urging this young man to leave.
There must be something fishy going on!
Chang Wen immediately reached out to stop him, saying, "Temple Keeper Wu, you haven't introduced me to this young man yet!"
Wu Ming ignored him, insisting that Song Ming leave.
Chang Wen sneered and blocked the entrance to the Martial Temple.
"What, feeling guilty? Could it be that this young man is the killer? And you Daqian are clearly intending to protect him!"
Wu Ming's Face grew even darker.
"This is a new Disciple of my Martial Temple, not the killer of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Please, True Monarch Chang, do not make wild guesses!"
"Hmph, whether he is or not, we'll know with a test!"
Chang Wen then pulled out a compass from hisPregnant.
This compass was given to him by the Qingqiu Elder.
This compass involved a trace of Karma power.
It was the Qingqiu Elder's most prized Artifact Refining.
His Disciples and Disciple-grandsons all had a trace of Qi within it.
If there was a killer of their Qingqiu Fox Clan nearby, activating the compass would immediately provide an indication.
It would pinpoint the killer.
Chang Wen didn't hesitate at all, injecting his magical power and activating the compass.
Then the compass needle began to slowly rotate.
In a moment, the needle stopped.
It was pointing directly at Song Ming's position.
Chang Wen changed his position again and reactivated the compass.
This time, the needle still pointed at Song Ming.
Seeing this, Chang Wen sneered, "Wu Ming, what else do you have to say!"
Wu Ming's Face turned pale.
He hadn't expected Chang Wen to have such a method.
But at this point, nothing he said mattered.
Since Song Ming was exposed, he could only fight Chang Wen to the death!
He absolutely could not let Song Ming, this Genius, fall into their hands.
Because this was their Daqian's hope for resurgence!
"I'm telling you, Chang Wen, calling you True Monarch is giving you Face. If you insist on a fight to the death today, then I will see it through to the end!"
With that, Wu Ming walked to an Arhat Golden Body.
He sat down cross-legged.
Then, the originally tightly closed eyes of the Arhat Golden Body behind him suddenly opened.
Staring directly at Chang Wen.
Chang Wen's expression tightened, and he took half a step back.
In terms of actual strength, he was indeed no match for this old Temple Keeper.
If they truly fought, he would definitely suffer losses!
"You… are you really going to make an enemy of my Jin Yang Cave and Qingqiu? All for this young man!" Chang Wen said, putting on a brave front.
However, Wu Ming remained silent.
The Arhat Golden Body behind him jumped down from the high platform with a bang, its ten-foot-tall body, combined with its ferocious beast head, exuded an extremely oppressive aura.
He raised his arm and extended a finger, stopping about two inches above Chang Wen's head.
The meaning was clear.
If you dare to take Song Ming, I will fight you to the death!
Chang Wen immediately cowered, pointing at Wu Ming and saying, "Good, good, good, you Daqian are truly something. If Qingqiu holds you accountable later, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
With that, he turned and walked out.
Fighting with such a madman, he would always be at a disadvantage!
He would just tell the Qingqiu Elder about this matter then.
Now that the Qingqiu Grand Elder and Second Elder are both close to Breakthrough, I'll see how long you Daqian can remain so stubborn!
"Wait!"
Hearing this, Chang Wen turned his head and looked at Song Ming.
"I did kill that fox on a whim. I didn't expect it to be from Qingqiu. It was indeed my oversight. How about this, I'll go with you to Qingqiu!" Song Ming said.
"What?"
Chang Wen was stunned, apparently not understanding why Song Ming would say that.
Daqian had clearly protected him, yet he was eagerly rushing to his death.
What kind of logic was this?
Had his cultivation made him stupid?
Wu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also suddenly opened his eyes, with an expression of disbelief.
"Song Ming, do you know what you're saying? That's Qingqiu, a demonic force second only to my Daqian!"
"A demonic force second only to Daqian, huh? Well, before going to the Thousand Demon Cave, it's a good opportunity to visit this Qingqiu!" Song Ming's eyes lit up, and he said with some surprise.
Chang Wen sneered, "Wu Ming, you heard him, he wants to come with me!"
"Alright, stop dawdling, lead the way!"
Song Ming ignored Wu Ming, who was dumbfounded on the spot, and had already walked out of the Martial Temple.
Chang Wen followed behind him, smiling, "Young man, have you thought this through? Once you leave this Martial Temple, no one can protect you anymore!"
Hearing this.
Song Ming merely gave him a calm glance.
Then he looked at his skills again.
With 120 million true damage from Heaven and Earth Seal, who really needed protection?
