Chapter 1181: All There’s Left Is to Find the Real Culprit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Sir is right. Things aren’t as simple as they seem.” Ding Wenqing agreed. “Even if we return the bracelet to Blood Beast Sect, what about their vengeance against us for their sect leader’s death? If we can’t find the real culprit who killed the Blood Beast Sect leader, they won’t let this matter go so easily,” said the doghead military advisor.
“That’s right. The Blood Beast Sect leader was killed because of this bracelet, and this bracelet is in my hands. So it’s not a surprise that I’m the biggest suspect at the moment. Blood Beast Sect won’t let me go so easily. Only by finding the real murderer can we turn the conflict into amicable peace,” said Ling Chuxi as she looked at Ding Wenqing with appreciation.
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s what I meant.” Ding Wenqing was flattered and nodded repeatedly.
Su Yizhi thought about it carefully. What Ling Chuxi and Ding Wenqing said made sense. If he was a member of Blood Beast Sect, he would never let Ling Chuxi go even if he had other suspicions. He would bring her back to the sect and put her under house arrest until the truth was revealed. If he could not find the truth, then he would most likely kill her to avenge the sect leader. This was the only answer for Blood Beast Sect. Although this method did not make sense, there was no other way.
“But how will we find the real murderer?” asked Su Yizhi worriedly.
“Don’t worry about this. This person is so eager to frame me so that I can die early. It is only a matter of time before the person reveals themselves,” said Ling Chuxi with a sneer.
“Well, then we have to be more careful. If Yi Li comes looking for us again next time, we must not be careless.” Su Yizhi pointed out.
“Don’t worry. She’s not a fool. If I guessed correctly, she still has some doubts about me being the real culprit,” said Ling Chuxi.
After all, Yi Li had mentioned that she would bring Ling Chuxi back to the sect to face the elders, instead of killing her immediately.
Ling Chuxi had a good impression of the young yet meticulous girl.
“Well, who cares if there’s a misunderstanding or not. It doesn’t even matter if we had killed her then, now, or next time. If they want revenge, we’ll just kill them,” said Gongxi Kuangdao arrogantly without a care as he swung his battle blade over his shoulder.
“Exactly. We’re one of the five great sects. Don’t tell me we’re afraid of them. They’re stupid and willing to be used by others. What does it have to do with us? If they dare to come to our door and seek death, they deserve to be killed by us.” Zhou Kaitai, Su Yanhua, and the others also chimed in at the same time.
These people were at the age where they were competitive. After a series of fierce battles, they did not treat Blood Beast Sect as a real threat.
“How impudent! Since when is it your turn to criticize the sect leader’s decisions?” Su Yizhi angrily rebuked.
“Sect Leader, Elder Su, this disciple knows his mistake and is willing to be punished.” Su Yizhi held a high prestige in the sect. His anger immediately made Su Yanhua and the others quickly restrain themselves and admit their mistakes.
“Forget it, let’s all go back. Those who should rest, rest, and those who should cultivate, don’t mention this matter anymore,” said Ling Chuxi.
Su Yanhua, Zhou Kaitai, and the others weren’t in a good mood. For Sword Heart Gang to gain a foothold in the Qianzhong Ridge, they needed to be wild and courageous. Once they left Qianzhong Ridge, they would have to restrain themselves.. Otherwise, they would get into big trouble sooner or later.
