Seeing that no one spoke, Heavenly Martial Ancestor pondered briefly, then waved his hand. "Phantom Shadow True God is right. Qin Hao was forced to Slaying a disciple of our Qiankun Sect; he did not do so deliberately. He also helped others dispel the phantom baleful power. He did nothing wrong."
The others' expressions remained unchanged at his words. Clearly, they had already expected Heavenly Martial Ancestor to make such a decision.
Venerable Honglian rubbed his nose, knowing that Phantom Shadow True God had played a major part in Heavenly Martial Ancestor's decision.
Were it not for Phantom Shadow True God, even if Heavenly Martial Ancestor believed Qin Hao had been left with no choice, he would never have brushed the matter aside with just a few words. Of course, given the talent and potential Qin Hao had displayed, Heavenly Martial Ancestor would not have deliberately made things difficult for him either. On the contrary...
He would most likely have nurtured Qin Hao through some form of punishment or reward. After all, Slaying a disciple like Pei Jinye so soon after joining the Qiankun Sect was an impressive feat, even if Pei Jinye only ranked among the third-rate Qiankun Sect Disciples.
Yet Heavenly Martial Ancestor made no mention of this. Clearly, he understood Phantom Shadow True God's intentions. Whether she truly wished to take Qin Hao as her disciple or had some other reason, he would not go out of his way to inquire.
Below, within the Qiankun Sect, Qin Hao had turned into an azure streak, flying at tremendous speed over the many Qiankun Sect Disciples affected by phantom baleful power.
Although Qin Hao made no visible move, Heavenly Martial Ancestor and the others could clearly sense the phantom baleful power being rapidly absorbed and refined wherever he passed.
