Would you like to try it?
Under everyone's gaze, Xuan Lin Immortal Lord spoke eloquently.
"Moreover, the relationship between the Human Race and the Celestial Race is well-known."
"A Human Race member, without disguise, swaggered through the Tian Yuan Immortal Region, asking about Wei Yitian's Immortal Palace."
"It's like writing 'I have a problem, I am the murderer' on his face."
"Either it was intentional."
"Or, this person is unreliable to a certain extent."
Zhong Qing looked at Xuan Lin Immortal Lord expressionlessly.
He was clearly speaking up for him, but why did Zhong Qing feel like this old fellow was scolding him?
Alright, he admitted he might have been a bit casual.
But that was just a minor oversight, he didn't do this kind of thing often, so what if he made a mistake?
At these words, everyone also felt there was something amiss and fell into contemplation.
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's eyes, however, showed surprise.
As an Immortal Lord, the issues Xuan Lin Immortal Lord mentioned were naturally things she could also think of.
But what she didn't expect was that Xuan Lin Immortal Lord would actually speak out to help Zhong Qing.
Although she had indeed thought of trying to win over the Kirin Clan before, she hadn't even started acting yet, so how did he predict it?
However, it was rare for someone else to speak up, so how could Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord miss such an opportunity?
She also followed suit, speaking coldly, "Who the murderer is, is still unknown, but I can see that the two of you want to seize this opportunity to stir up trouble and pin the blame on Zhong Qing."
Zhong Qing also nodded.
Absolutely right!
Although I am indeed the murderer, that doesn't mean you can wrongly accuse me of being the murderer!
Shenyou Immortal Lord and Tian Yuan Immortal Lord exchanged a subtle glance, and Tian Yuan Immortal Lord spoke in a deep voice.
"What Xuan Lin Immortal Lord said is not without reason, but if the murderer is new and unfamiliar with the Immortal Alliance, it also makes sense."
"Given the current situation, Zhong Qing is indeed the most suspicious, there is no doubt about that."
"Heaven Protector Immortal General was killed within the Immortal Alliance; this matter is of great importance and concerns the dignity of our Immortal Alliance, and must not be easily let go."
"Before thoroughly investigating the truth, since Zhong Qing is a suspect, we cannot stand idly by. Is there any problem?"
Shenyou Immortal Lord also nodded and said, "Before finding the true culprit, as the most suspicious person, Zhong Qing shall be temporarily detained on the first floor of Immortal Prison Heaven. Is there any problem?"
Here it comes!
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's eyes turned cold.
The moment she learned of Zhong Qing's identity being exposed, she had already anticipated the tactics of Shenyou Immortal Lord and Tian Yuan Immortal Lord.
Wei Yitian's death merely gave them an excuse.
Even a trusted subordinate, a Heaven Protector, could not compare to the importance of a Human Race Immortal Seed.
Using Wei Yitian's death to find a way to control Zhong Qing was the true objective.
Immortal Prison Heaven was a Small World opened up by the Immortal Alliance.
It was specifically for imprisoning True Immortal-level existences.
It was divided into three layers, targeting different levels of serious offenders.
But even the shallowest first layer could only hold True Immortals.
This was not the point; the point was that the authority to guard the first layer of Immortal Prison Heaven was in the hands of the Celestial Race.
Or rather, it was simply the Celestial Race's territory.
Once Zhong Qing was imprisoned on the first layer of Immortal Prison Heaven, how to deal with him would be entirely up to the Celestial Race.
If he really fell into the hands of the Celestial Race, even if he was an Immortal Seed, the Celestial Race had countless ways to destroy him.
Even if the person didn't die, there were countless ways to sever their cultivation path.
As for the reason? After Zhong Qing was crippled, what reason to find was entirely up to them?
Therefore, on this point, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord would absolutely not back down.
She said coldly, "What a joke. Zhong Qing is a member of my Human Race. Even if he is a suspect, he should be supervised and controlled by my Human Race. When did it become the Celestial Race's turn?"
Shenyou Immortal Lord narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's words are truly strange. Whether Celestial Race or Human Race, aren't they all members of the Immortal Alliance?"
"And Immortal Prison Heaven belongs to the Immortal Alliance, not my Celestial Race's private prison. Zhong Qing is suspected of murdering an Immortal Alliance Heaven Protector, so temporarily putting him in Immortal Prison Heaven, isn't that only right?"
"Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord, is it that your Human Race members can act recklessly within the Immortal Alliance, and only your Human Race can deal with them?"
Facing Shenyou Immortal Lord's verbal offensive, Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord did not waver in the slightest.
Her face was expressionless, and her tone was completely flat.
"Immortal Prison Heaven is a place for imprisoning guilty True Immortals. Since it has not yet been confirmed that Zhong Qing is the murderer, what reason is there to put him in Immortal Prison Heaven?"
"If the two of you can find solid evidence of Zhong Qing's murder, then come back and say that."
Tian Yuan Immortal Lord snorted coldly, "It seems Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord is determined to protect Zhong Qing?"
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's tone also suddenly deepened, "It seems the two of you are determined to wrongly accuse Zhong Qing?"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the great hall instantly became tense.
Shenyou Immortal Lord and Tian Yuan Immortal Lord seemingly sat still, but subtle auras had already emanated, pressing down from all directions, overwhelmingly, towards Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord's side.
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord, facing two, was not afraid in the slightest, meeting them head-on.
Just then, a voice sounded.
"I say, have you asked for my opinion?"
The three subconsciously turned their heads and saw Zhong Qing standing casually in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Tian Yuan Immortal Lord's gaze, sharp as a knife, fell on Zhong Qing, as if to pierce his soul.
"Your opinion? What a joke. Since you are a member of the Immortal Alliance, you should abide by the Immortal Alliance's laws. Do you think that because you are an Immortal Seed, you can be lawless?"
Zhong Qing said calmly, "I joined the Immortal Alliance because I heard the Immortal Alliance was preparing to work together to break through the shackles and go beyond the Nine Heavens."
"Not to be someone's dog, to be ordered around."
"It has nothing to do with whether I am an Immortal Seed."
"As for that Immortal Prison Heaven, whoever wants to go in, can go in."
Shenyou Immortal Lord seemed to be smiling, but a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Truly young and impetuous, but I'm afraid this is not up to you."
Zhong Qing also smiled slightly, and in broad daylight, he actually raised a finger and beckoned to the two Immortal Lords.
"Come, if you have the guts, come and try."
At these words, everyone was horrified.
A New True Immortal, dared to openly, within the Central Immortal Palace.
Provoke two Immortal Lords face to face?
Did he think he was the Overturning Sea Immortal Lord?
Immortal Seeds were rare, but there had been a few throughout history.
But someone with such audacity was truly seen for the first time.
Tian Yuan Immortal Lord's expression also completely turned cold, as if covered in frost. He suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards Zhong Qing.
"As expected of a Human Race Immortal Seed. This level of arrogance is much stronger than your predecessor from millions of years ago."
"Since that's the case, let this Immortal Lord see what your capital for arrogance is?"
Celestial Immortal Langhuan Immortal Lord naturally would not stand idly by. Her figure flickered, and she had already blocked Zhong Qing's path.
"Hmph, if soft doesn't work, you want to try hard?"
