The sound of wind in the mountains slowly subsided, the lingering power of Spiritual Power that filled the sky completely dissipated, and the entire mountain forest returned to deathly silence.
Zhou Qi turned around and stepped forward, his body gently swept through the air, and turned back to the battlefield of Blackrock Mining District.
In the field at this moment, all the surviving Heavenly Sword Peak disciples were standing there, discussing the results of the victory just now with expressions of excitement on their faces.
As Zhou Qi appeared in a flash, the scene was silent for a moment.
The scene just now of killing Blood Hand with a forty-foot sword is still deeply etched in everyone's heart.
All the disciples looked at each other, their eyes no longer had the alienation of the past, only deep awe and fear remained.
In the past, I only thought that he was a disciple who was lucky enough to be accepted by Peak Master. It was not until this moment that he truly felt his strength.
Qi Shan knows this best. He had just received a violent beating from Zhou Qi, and now he was even more sincerely impressed by Zhou Qi's strength.
After a pause, everyone stepped forward one after another. One disciple hesitated for a moment, raised his hands and asked in a deep voice:
"Senior Brother Zhou, all the bandits have either been killed or have escaped. The disaster in the mining area has been eliminated. Now the outcome is undecided. What should we do next?"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zhou Qi, and they unconsciously regarded him as the person in charge at the moment.
Zhou Qi looked around at the messy battlefield, glanced at Meteoric Iron Warship suspended in mid-air, and said lightly, "Blood Sha Alliance's main force has been completely destroyed, and the leader Blood Hand has also been killed. This is considered a complete victory!"
"Bring the corpses of all the gangsters in the Blood Sha Alliance back to the Immortal Sect to register the credit."
"In addition, this ship is the core baggage of the Blood Sha Alliance. It is made of special materials and has extremely strong defense. It can be regarded as a valuable trophy and cannot be discarded."
Everyone hurriedly accepted the order, and no one had the slightest objection.
Several disciples boarded the spaceship, and after searching for a while, they found the control console. With a little effort, they successfully sealed the giant killing ship.
Then everyone collected all the corpses and sorted out the battlefield relics.
"Start and return to the Primordial Immortal Sect."
Following Zhou Qi's order, Qi Shan released Immortal Sect's flying boat. Everyone boarded and followed the return route, galloping towards the sect.
After galloping for most of the day, the majestic Primordial Immortal Sect mountain gate finally came into view. After being blocked by two or three Dao Sect gate formations, the flying boat finally stepped into the Heavenly Sword Peak boundary.
The group of people landed and returned to the sect, not daring to delay, and rushed straight to the elder dojo of Chen Kun to return to their lives.
In the main hall of the dojo, Chen Kun was sitting upright, adjusting his breath and recuperating, with a lazy and calm expression. He obviously thought that this mission was just a simple disciple training, and had no idea that a shocking incident had already occurred at the foot of the mountain.
Hearing the news of the return of the disciples outside the door, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm tone, "Has the mission been successfully completed? Has the banditry in the mining area been eliminated?"
After the words fell, he raised his eyes and glanced away, his eyes suddenly paused.
All the returning disciples were injured and looked tired, and the formation was incomplete. Lin Mo, who was calm and capable in the past, was nowhere to be seen. Even his most valued direct disciple, Liu Ying, did not show up to return to the formation.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly froze, and the oppressive haze quietly spread.
Chen Kun's heart suddenly sank, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, and his voice couldn't help but become a little colder. "Why don't you see Liu Ying and Lin Mo?"
No one responded, and all the disciples lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chen Kun.
Qi Shan took a deep breath, took a step forward, bowed and held his hands, and in a deep voice slowly recounted everything that happened after going down the mountain. "Elder, this Blackrock Mining District mission has been full of ups and downs and many changes."
He started from the scene of the strange tragedy in the mining area, and told one by one the anomalies of the three mining area directors, Liu Ying secretly colluded with outsiders, and set up Ten Kill Formation to surround and kill Zhou Qi. When the formation went out of control, Liu Ying was killed on the spot by the three principals. Lin Mo subsequently encountered Blood Hand, the leader of the Blood Sha Alliance, and unfortunately died.
Later, Zhou Qi bucked the trend and killed Blood Hand, who killed Nascent Soul Eighth Layer. The story was reported in detail without any concealment.
The disciples behind him nodded in agreement.
After listening to the whole process, the breath around Chen Kun instantly became completely cold.
Liu Ying, his direct disciple who was as close as his nephew, died.
Lin Mo, his most capable general also died in the mining area.
Two of his confidants were all killed in this, and the cause of all this was actually his disciples actively colluding with the boss of the mining area, deliberately murdering their fellow disciples, and planning the assassination Zhou Qi!
This not only hurts his confidants, but also makes him lose face and makes him the laughingstock of the sect!
In an instant, endless rage and murderous intent surged out of Chen Kun's heart. The cold light in his eyes surged, locking firmly on Qi Shan in front of him.
"You're lying!!!"
Along with the angry shout, Chen Kun's figure suddenly flashed, and the afterimage passed through the hall. The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Qi Shan. His big hand suddenly reached out and firmly grasped Qi Shan's neck.
The five fingers tightened, and fierce pressure suddenly enveloped Qi Shan's whole body.
Qi Shan His neck was restrained, his breathing was suddenly stagnant, the meridians all over his body were tense, his body was shaking violently uncontrollably, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he was extremely frightened in his heart.
Chen Kun's murderous intent surges out, and as long as he makes even the slightest lie, he will die on the spot.
But he did not dare to lie and had no way of making excuses. He could only hold back the fear of suffocation and chattered his teeth. "Elder! Everything the disciple said is true! All my classmates can testify! Senior Brother Liu colluded with the chief to set up a trap to kill Junior Brother Zhou. If Junior Brother Zhou hadn't turned the tide this time, all of us would have died in the mining area!"
Qi Shan spoke very quickly, placing all the blame on Liu Ying and the three dead principals.
Inside the main hall, there was dead silence.
Everyone stood silently, looking down at the tops of their shoes without making the slightest move.
Chen Kun stared hard at Qi Shan's frightened but determined eyes for a long time, and finally confirmed that the other party was not lying.
He slowly loosened his palms and violently shook off Qi Shan's collar.
Qi Shan stumbled back a few steps, gasping for air. His whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, and he was still frightened.
Chen Kun didn't look at anyone anymore. He slowly raised his eyes, penetrated the gap between the disciples, and his eyes fell heavily on Zhou Qi, who was always standing silently with an indifferent expression.
Deep in the eyes, reluctance, murderous intent, fear and extremely complex emotions surged.
He knew that from beginning to end, Zhou Qi was the victim.
It was Liu Ying who brought it upon himself, deliberately stirred up trouble, colluded with outsiders, murdered his fellow disciples, and ultimately suffered the consequences.
Zhou Qi not only had no fault, but also made great achievements, quelling the bandit troubles, killing the bandit leader, and saving the remaining disciples.
Even though he was filled with resentment and murderous intent, he had no legitimate reason to trouble Zhou Qi.
But two of his best confidants died because of him, so this grudge cannot be let go just like that.
Zhou Qi faced his heavy gaze, his expression unchanged, calm and calm, neither avoiding nor dodgeing, and there was no wave in his heart.
Chen Kun looked at him deeply, with undercurrents in his eyes, and finally said nothing.
He turned around and flicked his sleeves, his clothes were flying around, and he stepped out straight away with a heavy air of anger and loneliness.
Just when Chen Kun was about to step out of the hall, a cold and steady voice suddenly sounded, breaking the dead silence in the hall.
"Elder Chen!"
The one who spoke out was Zhou Qi.
He stood tall and straight, his expression still calm, but Chen Kun, who was about to leave, suddenly froze and stopped in place.
Before Chen Kun could turn around, Zhou Qi's voice sounded again, each word clear and sharp. "The followers are unfavorable, allowing the disciples to collude with outsiders, drawing swords against fellow disciples, deliberately causing harm..."
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this and buried their heads deeper.
Crazy, crazy!
Lao Chen just lost two of his direct descendants, how dare you provoke him!!
Zhou Qi ignored everyone's surprise, raised his eyes and looked directly at Chen Kun's back, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his tone suddenly became more serious. "As a master, shouldn't you explain!"
Like a thunderous explosion!
Chen Kun first turned his back to everyone, his body trembled slightly, and then his anger surged, and the air around him suddenly turned cold and biting.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, locked firmly on Zhou Qi, his gaze as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to pierce the person on the spot.
But Zhou Qi showed no fear, looked at the opponent squarely with a calm face.
Chen Kun gasped for air, his chest heaving violently, filled with anger and murderous intent. He tremblingly stretched out his right hand and pointed at Zhou Qi: "Okay! You are fine!"
"..." There was a moment of silence.
"I have no idea what to teach! I am willing to accept punishment!!"
After gritting his teeth, Chen Kun waved his sleeves and turned around to leave the dojo hall.
