Kill with a Borrowed Knife

The circulation of Internal Power was exactly like that of Soul Power. With the Yi Jin Jing, Ye Qin quickly learned how to use Internal Power!

He was confident that even without using any Soul Power, he could defeat a Soul Master of around level fifteen with Internal Power alone!

And with layers of Internal Power, he felt that dealing with a three-ring Soul Elder should not be a problem either!

Not to mention Lingbo Weibu, which increased his movement speed severalfold. Outrunning a Spirit King would be no challenge at all!

It truly was an ultimate life-saving skill!

Meanwhile, inside the main hall.

Bibi Dong stood facing the statue of the Angel God, her left hand behind her back and her staff in her right. Hu Liena stood silently behind her with her head lowered.

"Liena, did Hong Rui's death have anything to do with you?" Bibi Dong finally asked coldly after a long while.

"No, Teacher!" Hu Liena replied.

"Then have you found the murderer?" Bibi Dong turned and pressed.

Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Hu Liena's mind. After seeing Mina's methods, she increasingly felt that this matter was related to Ye Qin. However, she still shook her head. "No!"

"Hong Rui was sent by the Elder Hall to compete with you, and she was Elder Ao Tian's direct disciple. They will never let this go!" Seeing that Hu Liena did not dare meet her gaze, Bibi Dong said, "Liena, I raised you with my own hands. I hope you will not disappoint me!"

"Have you really not found the murderer?" Bibi Dong demanded angrily and majestically.

"No!" Hu Liena continued shaking her head.

"Make it quick!" Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes narrowed. "Otherwise, even I will find it difficult to keep you safe!"

"Yes!"

Ye Qin fell into meditation once more. Before he knew it, the sky had grown late!

Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Who is it?" Ye Qin stopped cultivating and called toward the door.

The person outside did not answer. Ye Qin was slightly startled and pulled open the door, only to find Hu Liena standing outside.

"Hu Liena!" Ye Qin said excitedly.

"Can I come in so we can talk?" Hu Liena asked.

"Of course!" Ye Qin hurriedly pulled Hu Liena inside and shut the door.

"Ye Qin, I'm sorry!" Hu Liena said, biting her red lips lightly.

"Why?" Ye Qin asked with a smile.

"I originally thought I could pretend that nothing had happened between us, but I found that I can't do it!" Hu Liena said with her head lowered.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qin directly pulled Hu Liena roughly into his arms. "If you can't do it, why resist?"

Hu Liena did not resist and hugged Ye Qin tightly.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Qin pushed Hu Liena onto the bed.

"Ye Qin, not during this period!" Hu Liena stopped him. "Although I want it too, we absolutely cannot let Teacher discover the relationship between us!"

"Alright, then!" Ye Qin nodded.

"Ye Qin, I want to ask you something. You have to tell me honestly!" Hu Liena said seriously as she lay on the bed.

"Go ahead!" Ye Qin replied.

"Did you kill Hong Rui?" Hu Liena asked.

Ye Qin stared into Hu Liena's eyes for a long time before finally saying, "No!"

For some matters, denying them was better than admitting them!

"Really not?" Hu Liena asked.

"You actually suspect me!" Ye Qin said, patting Hu Liena's shapely rear.

"No! If it wasn't you, then who could it have been?" Hu Liena asked in confusion.

"Cracked Wind Sect!" Ye Qin replied.

"Cracked Wind Sect?" Hu Liena was startled. "But they don't seem to have any grudge against Hong Rui!"

"If there is no grudge, then create one!" Ye Qin replied. "Your teacher only wants you to escape the Elder Hall's accountability. She does not care who the murderer is!"

Hu Liena immediately understood. "You mean, frame Cracked Wind Sect?"

"Cracked Wind Sect is no good bunch!" Ye Qin replied. "This is the perfect chance to rid the people of a menace!"

"You're right!" Hu Liena agreed. "But Ye Qin, why do you know what Teacher is thinking?"

"Because I'm your man!" Ye Qin said, gently kissing Hu Liena's red lips!

After their passionate lovemaking, Hu Liena said, "Ye Qin, then I'll tell Teacher that Xiao Sheng killed Hong Rui!"

"You fool! Wouldn't an investigation take time?"

"...You're right!"

Two days later, inside Xilu Branch Hall.

"What did you say? Hong Rui was killed by Cracked Wind Sect?" Bibi Dong asked Hu Liena coldly.

"Yes, Teacher!" Hu Liena replied. "My investigation has yielded results. It was Xiao Sheng, the Young Master of Cracked Wind Sect, who did it!"

"Xiao Sheng?" Bibi Dong frowned.

"Yes. Xiao Sheng was obsessed with Hong Rui's beauty but could not have her, so he killed her!" Hu Liena replied. "Furthermore, he created the illusion that Hong Rui had been killed by a Soul Beast!

Teacher, Hong Rui's guard, Yun Shan, was a Soul Emperor-level guard. In the Royal City, only two forces could have killed him: Cracked Wind Sect and the Ye Royal Family!"

"The Ye Royal Family bears no grudge against Spirit Hall! But this Cracked Wind Sect has always been arrogant and tyrannical. They do not even hold me in regard!"

Clearly, Ye Qin had taught her this. Firstly, Xiao Sheng truly was lustful, and secondly, Xiao Sheng was already dead. There was no one left to dispute the claim!

"What a Xiao Sheng! What a Cracked Wind Sect!" Bibi Dong said furiously!

"Teacher, should we arrest him immediately?" Hu Liena asked.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo!" Bibi Dong shouted sharply.

"Your subordinate is here!" At her call, Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure appeared before Bibi Dong like Ghostly Charm!

"Go to Cracked Wind Sect in the Royal City at once and bring men to arrest Xiao Sheng!" Bibi Dong ordered. "If anyone obstructs you, kill them all without exception!"

"Yes!" After accepting the order, Chrysanthemum Douluo strode out of the hall!

"Liena, you may leave first!" Bibi Dong said to Hu Liena.

"Yes, Teacher!" Hu Liena respectfully withdrew.

"Ghost Douluo!" After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong continued.

"What are the Pope's orders?" Ghostly Charm replied.

"Order the Dark Hall to investigate the Ye Royal Family!" Bibi Dong said. "Liena is too young. I fear she may be used as someone else's blade!"

"Understood!"

Very quickly, news of Xiao Sheng's death reached Cracked Wind Sect.

"Unfilial sons, unfilial sons, a whole bunch of unfilial sons!" Upon hearing the news, an elderly man with graying temples cursed loudly, nearly collapsing from the shock.

He wore brocade robes and had a burly build, bright, piercing eyes, and a scar like a centipede across his bronze-colored cheek.

This man was none other than Xiao Han, the Sect Master of Cracked Wind Sect!

Xiao Han was already over seventy years old and had only two sons, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Xun. Now one had been killed, while the other had been crippled!

With Cracked Wind Sect's vast inheritance about to be destroyed, how could he not be furious?

"How did that unfilial son Xiao Sheng end up in Xilu City?" Xiao Han angrily demanded, pointing at the Cracked Wind Sect disciple kneeling below.

"This subordinate... this subordinate does not know!" The disciple trembled all over and did not dare raise his head!

"Useless trash, all of you are useless trash!" Xiao Han roared in fury.
