Xuan Qi's Fall
The Sixth Elder looked like he was about to cry as he spoke.
They seemed deeply saddened by Xuan Qi's death.
But this only made King of the Underworld think it was fake.
He wasn't sure if it was the Sixth Elder who did it; he just felt that the Sixth Elder wouldn't care about Xuan Qi's life or death.
If the Sixth Elder had acted normally, he wouldn't have been so angry, but seeing the Sixth Elder's pretentious demeanor, he was immediately furious.
Are you very concerned about Xuan Qi?
"So you attacked him before?"
"As Elder, you not only lack magnanimity, but you also have no brains at all?"
What are you pretending for in front of me?
You've disappointed me greatly.
King of the Underworld said angrily.
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder was immediately startled.
He didn't expect that he had overdone his act, and that King of the Underworld would expose him directly.
It seems that King of the Underworld is truly very dissatisfied with him, otherwise he wouldn't have shown him no respect at all.
The Sixth Elder was flustered and his words became incoherent.
"I... I wasn't pretending."
"Of course I care about Xuan Qi's death, and I will definitely avenge Xuan Qi."
"Xuan Qi is utterly loyal to me, how could I not avenge him?"
"King of the Underworld, believe me, I'm not faking it."
King of the Underworld didn't want to look at him at all.
He waved his hand, disappointed and annoyed.
"Go back first. You are not allowed to go out until I have figured this out."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder's heart skipped a beat.
Does this mean they completely no longer trust him?
And now they've even forbidden him from going out. Even if they can't confirm he was the one who harmed Xuan Qi, they probably won't take him seriously anymore, right?
How could this happen?
Is it because he offended Su Zhan that the King of the Underworld is treating him this way?
It must be, otherwise King of the Underworld would never have disregarded his reputation and status like that. It must be Su Zhan's fault.
"King of the Underworld, did Su Zhan say something to you that made you suspect me?"
Don't believe Su Zhan; he's not a good person.
"The Ten Thousand Year Purple Underworld Ganoderma Wine so precious, yet he truly doesn't know the meaning of politeness. It's only natural that someone like him would hold a grudge against Xuan Qi, and consequently, against me."
"King of the Underworld, I am the Sixth Elder of Underworld Mountain, how could I possibly lay a hand on my own subordinate? I would never do that."
The Sixth Elder had no intention of obediently returning home.
He needs to make his point clear.
However, these words thoroughly enraged King of the Underworld.
"Brother Su didn't say anything."
"He's been cultivating ever since the banquet; we haven't seen him at all."
Every word you say is an attempt to smear him.
"Sixth Elder, you are utterly ignorant."
"How could I have chosen you as Elder!"
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder panicked even more.
He hadn't expected his words to have the opposite effect. King of the Underworld didn't suspect Su Zhan at all; instead, he became even more suspicious of him. Could it be that Su Zhan really hadn't said anything?
He wasn't sure, but he knew that his current situation had probably thoroughly angered King of the Underworld.
Just as they were wondering what to do, the Grand Elder suddenly walked in.
"King of the Underworld, a Patrol Guards reports that there are many sword shadows in Young Master Su's palace."
"It appears to be two people making the move, but they can't be sure; the Guard outside the hall haven't shown any unusual behavior."
"Because King of the Underworld instructed us not to approach or disturb Young Master Su's residence, and they haven't inquired about it, I've come specifically to ask King of the Underworld what to do."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Elder immediately realized that it was the God of Chaos he had brought in who was fighting Su Zhan, and he felt a surge of satisfaction.
