Could it be that I am the murderer?

The Overturning Sea Immortal Lord also chuckled along.

“You two must have water in your brains, right? Can’t you tell this junior is mocking you?”

The Tian Yuan Immortal Lord and the Wandering Mind Immortal Lord’s expressions darkened.

Zhong Qing: “…”

Actually, I wasn’t mocking anyone, nor was I speaking sarcastically. Do you believe me?

Whether he believed it or not, it was clear that no one else in the hall believed it.

The Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord said indifferently, “It’s true that Zhong Qing is a newly promoted Immortal Seed of our Human Race. If you want to make trouble, there’s no need to find so many excuses.”

The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord smiled slightly and said, “The Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord has truly misunderstood us. The Celestial Race and the Human Race originate from the same source. How could we intentionally wrong an Immortal Seed of the Human Race?”

“However, Wei Yitian’s death is truly peculiar. He had just had a conflict with Zhong Qing, leading to a fight, and then he died in the Immortal Palace shortly after.”

The Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord said coolly, “What do you mean by the Celestial Race and the Human Race originating from the same source?”

“Isn’t it that the Celestial Race originated from the Human Race?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Tian Yuan Immortal Lord and the Wandering Mind Immortal Lord, as well as the Heaven Protectors of the Celestial Race in the hall, all changed their expressions.

This was indeed a fact, but it was also the fact the Celestial Race was most unwilling to admit.

And now, the Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord had openly brought it up in public, which was simply exposing the Celestial Race’s shortcomings.

The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord said with a fake smile, “The student surpasses the teacher. Whether the Celestial Race originated from the Human Race has little to do with superiority or inferiority. However, Immortal Lord, your words have an underlying meaning.”

The Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord glanced at him, not delving deeper into the topic, but instead said, “Wei Yitian is a Heaven Protector of your Celestial Race. You naturally know his usual conduct.”

“He didn’t just offend Zhong Qing. Perhaps someone who couldn’t stand him killed him.”

The Tian Yuan Immortal Lord said coldly, “Although that’s true, Zhong Qing is highly suspicious and very likely involved in this matter. No one can deny that.”

“In fact, we have already questioned those in the Tian Yuan Immortal Alliance yesterday. Someone said that before Wei Yitian’s death, they saw a strange Human Race member entering the Tian Yuan Immortal Region and even asked for the direction to Wei Yitian’s Immortal Palace.”

As he spoke, he turned to look among the Heaven Protectors and said, “Luowei Tian, come out.”

A Celestial Race True Immortal slowly stepped out and bowed to the Immortal Lords.

“Luowei Tian, you discovered Wei Yitian’s death, and likewise, you encountered someone asking you for the location of Wei Yitian’s Immortal Palace, is that correct?”

The Heaven Protector Luowei Tian nodded: “Precisely.”

Upon seeing this person, Zhong Qing was instead startled.

That’s right, yesterday he was wandering around the Tian Yuan Immortal Region, couldn’t find Wei Yitian’s Immortal Palace, so he found someone to ask for directions.

And that person was precisely this Celestial Race True Immortal in front of him.

So, this person also discovered that Wei Yitian was killed?

But then Luowei Tian sighed and said in a deep voice, “Yesterday, I was originally going to visit another friend’s Immortal Palace. On the way, I encountered a Human Race youth asking for directions and pointed him the way without much thought.”

“At my other friend’s Immortal Palace, I mentioned this matter and coincidentally learned about Wei Yitian’s injury. As a friend, I naturally went to visit, but unexpectedly found that Wei Yitian had already been murdered.”

At this point, a hint of hatred flashed in Luowei Tian’s eyes: “Such ruthless methods, truly inhumane.”

“Considering the previous events, and thinking that it was very likely because I pointed the way for that killer that Wei Yitian was harmed, I truly regret it beyond measure.”

He immediately knelt on one knee: “Please punish me, Immortal Lord!”

The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord nodded and comforted him, “This matter has nothing to do with you. Since that person had killing intent, even without you, Wei Yitian would have been unable to escape. You don’t need to blame yourself.”

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Zhong Qing.

“I’m sure everyone has heard.”

“The person who asked for directions is, in all likelihood, the killer of Wei Yitian.”

“After Wei Yitian was killed, an immortal maid in his palace also saw a Human Race youth walking out from the direction of Wei Yitian’s sleeping chambers.”

“This person was so arrogant and bold, not even avoiding human presence, yet he also pointed us in the direction.”

“Firstly, he is Human Race. Secondly, he is not familiar with the Immortal Alliance, and even couldn’t find the location of Wei Yitian’s Immortal Palace.”

“Presumably, this can explain many things.”

The Tian Yuan Immortal Lord said indifferently, “Luowei Tian, come and see, is this Human Race Immortal Seed the person who asked you for directions yesterday?”

Luowei Tian only then got up, turned his head, and his gaze fell upon Zhong Qing.

And Zhong Qing still remained calm and composed, letting him examine him, as if this matter truly had nothing to do with him at all.

After gazing for a moment, Luowei Tian then turned back and clasped his hands, saying, “Replying to the Immortal Lord, the face and Qi are not the same as that person, but the physique is similar, and what emanated from that person was the Qi of the Emperor Realm.”

Zhong Qing’s “disguise” yesterday could be said to be very careless. He only concealed his Qi and appearance, and barely changed his physique.

“Is that so?” The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord lightly tapped the armrest with his finger: “Face and Qi can be changed. Since the physique is similar, and he is Human Race, unfamiliar with the Immortal Alliance.”

“And revealing Emperor Realm Qi is a bit too deliberate.” The Tian Yuan Immortal Lord on the side said indifferently, “Where would there be an Emperor Realm within the Immortal Alliance?”

The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord chuckled, “This further indicates that person is unfamiliar with the Immortal Alliance. To enter the Immortal Alliance, even as a palace attendant or guard, one must at least be at the Pseudo-Immortal level.”

Zhong Qing: “…”

Everything else about him was fake, but his Emperor Realm was real.

So, according to your meaning, I, Zhong Qing, am not even worthy of being a palace attendant or guard, huh?

“And this Zhong Qing Immortal Seed, as far as I know, originated from the Lower Realm’s Second Heaven and was only just brought to the Immortal Alliance yesterday.” The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord’s eyes were sharp: “So, it’s quite normal for him to be unfamiliar with the Immortal Alliance.”

The expressions of the people in the hall changed slightly.

The two Immortal Lords’ words were practically piercing, every sentence pointing towards Zhong Qing.

They even made Zhong Qing start to reflect.

With so many similarities, could the killer really be me?

Oh, no, it seems it was me all along.

Then never mind.

At this moment, someone laughed out loud.

The person who dared to laugh out loud at such a time and in such a place must have an extraordinary identity.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the laughter, and all were surprised.

The one laughing was actually the Xuan Lin Immortal Lord.

The Wandering Mind Immortal Lord squinted slightly: “Why is the Xuan Lin Immortal Lord laughing?”

The Xuan Lin Immortal Lord laughed and said, “What, I can’t laugh? I’m laughing because the reasons you’re finding to point to Zhong Qing as the killer are too far-fetched.”

“Can appearance be disguised? Can race not be?”

“At least, with my methods, if I were to disguise myself as Human Race, there are a hundred ways to ensure Luowei Tian wouldn’t see through it.”

“Moreover, who would assassinate a True Immortal in the Immortal Alliance and only half-disguise themselves? Just change their Qi and appearance, without even changing their physique? Is killing a Heaven Protector such a casual matter?”

“If so, wouldn’t this person be too unreliable?”
