The cloaked monk picked up the empty tea cup in front of him, took a look at it, and then put it down again. The cup was empty, and there was only a circle of dried tea stains at the bottom.
Several people nearby looked at each other, and someone called the waiter and served him several pots of fine spiritual tea. The aroma of the tea overflowed and it was steaming hot.
The monk lowered his head and smelled it before speaking again.
"Just yesterday morning, in a valley three hundred miles north of the city, Rogue Cultivator Liu Qing was surrounded by hundreds of monks, including several Golden Core Realm. They were all looking for the bracelet in his hand and Pure Land Chan Sect's treasure."
He picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip, and continued, "The place is called Fallen Star Valley. It is surrounded by mountains and there is only one narrow road in and out. Liu Qing is blocked at the bottom of the valley, with no way to the sky and no door to the earth. Hundreds of people are surrounded outside, three floors inside and three outside, and not even a mouse can escape."
"What's the result?" someone asked anxiously.
"It turned out that this man had a very violent temper. After the talks collapsed, he directly activated the formation and detonated all the Cultivation Method Jade Slip, Law Artifact, Spirit Stone, including the bracelet. The ground for dozens of miles exploded into a huge crater. More than half of the monks surrounding him died in the explosion."
There was a gasp of air in the hall.
Liu Suifeng stood at the corner of the stairs, his eyes widened.
What kind of formation is this? No, he had to find an opportunity to conduct an on-site inspection. Although it exploded, there might still be formation patterns left.
"Really or not?" Some people didn't believe it. "With hundreds of people surrounding him, he can still arrange his formation calmly? Do you think that those 100 or 10 people are all dead?"
"Maybe it's fake. This person was released to confuse the public. Is he an accomplice of Liu Qing?"
The cloaked monk slowly raised his hand and took off his cloak.
The left half of the face was exposed. From the forehead to the chin, there was a large black scar, and the skin was rolled up, as if Flame had burned it from a very close distance. The left eye could no longer be opened, and the eyelids and scars were stuck together. But the right half of the face was intact, with clear eyebrows. He was a young man with good facial features.
Several people in the hall shouted at the same time.
"It's him! I met him the day before yesterday, the Foundation Establishment monk who came out early from Secret Realm Trial and got full marks! Sun Heng!"
"I remember, didn't he come out without any injuries? Secret Realm Trial? How did it become like this?"
When everyone thought about the explosion he just mentioned, they all had some terrible guesses in their minds.
"That's right." The monk put his cloak back on and his voice was a little lower. "Two days ago, I heard that someone discovered the traces of Liu Qing, so I followed him from a distance. I didn't want to steal anything, I just wanted to see what happened. Such development. I had been staying twenty miles away, but there was an explosion, and I had no time to hide. My left arm, left leg, and left face were all destroyed. If Movement Method hadn't been fast enough, I would have been in the pit by now."
He paused, as if he remembered something, and there was a hint of fear in his voice. "I have never seen the power of that explosion in my life. The whole valley was shaking, the sky was covered with dust, and even the sunlight was blocked. I ran ten miles away, and the clothes on my back were still scorched by the heat wave."
Some people couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that person's way of feigning death to escape?"
The monk shook his head. "Such a huge explosion, unless he is a monk above Golden Core Late Stage, he will never survive. What level of cultivation is Liu Qing? Foundation Establishment. Even if he hides his strength, Ding Po Tian is just a Foundation Establishment Peak Stage. Foundation Establishment Peak Stage monk. In the center of such an explosion, not even scum can be left."
He said this so firmly that no one in the hall questioned it.
The monk added another sentence, "Moreover, after the explosion, someone found a bead outside. The material of the bead came from the Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast from Elder Gu Spirit Bone is completely consistent with the bead characteristics of the legendary bracelet. It may be the only thing preserved in the entire bracelet. This also confirms that the person who died in the explosion was the Rogue Cultivator Liu Qing who took away the most resources in Pure Land Chan Temple."
When he said this, his voice lowered. "If he had not obtained so many resources in Pure Land Chan Temple, he would not have been able to detonate such a large battle. Hundreds of monks were buried with him."
No one spoke in the hall for a while.
After a while, someone sighed, "What a pity. A monk who was supposed to rise through Star Selection died in an internal fight. Our human race has lost another genius."
"Yeah." Another person said, "Rogue Cultivator like us, who have no background, how can we get ahead in Heavenly South Domain. Even fortuitous opportunity, He will also be surrounded and killed like this. No matter how strong Liu Qing is, can he be stronger than the crowd of hundreds of people? Can he be stronger than those Golden Core old monsters? In the end, we will not be together."
"Rogue Cultivator It's difficult."
Everyone sighed for a while and went to drink tea. The atmosphere in the teahouse was much duller than before, and even the voices were much quieter.
On the stairs, Lin Chuan's footsteps stopped.
Lin Chuan's first reaction was disbelief. He turned to look at Qin Tiexin.
In his consciousness, Senior Brother Ming is Liu Qing. This is something he has almost confirmed. But at this moment, someone said with certainty that Liu Qing was dead. There were witnesses, there was an explosion, and there were beads as evidence. It was reasonable and well-founded, and it didn't look like he was making it up.
Lin Chuan was shaken for the first time. Did he really admit his mistake at that time?
Ling Shuyao also turned his head and his eyes fell on Qin Tiexin's face. She has read countless people and thinks she has a good eye for people. From the way she walks, the way she sounds, and even the characteristics of her spiritual power, there is basically a 90% chance that she can confirm that "Liu Qing is Mingjue", but this time, Ling Shuyao also felt a little shaken.
If he hadn't admitted his mistake, could it be that Master Ming set up a scene with someone to fake his death and escape?
Ling Shuyao's eyes have been fixed on Qin Tiexin's face, trying to get some clues from this face, even if it's just a dodge of eyes or a twitch of muscles.
As a result, she discovered that Qin Tiexin was no less shocked than the two of them.
He frowned slightly, stared in the direction of the cloaked monk, and pursed his lips slightly. Like everyone else, he was shocked by the news. That look seemed like he had heard a completely unexpected news.
Ling Shuyao also started beating the drum in his heart. Is it really a coincidence? Liu Qing is really not Mingjue? The physical cultivation and Mingjue are just similar in body shape, cultivation, pace, breathing, breath, and spiritual power operation methods?
In other words, Master Ming's "acting skills" were so good that she even deceived those who were close at hand?
She suppressed the doubts in her heart, there were some things and now was not the time to ask.
However, Qin Tiexin is indeed shocked.
After the last monk's description, Qin Tiexin can basically confirm that this matter was done by Senior Brother Chen Xi.
But he didn't expect that the senior brother's actions would be so fast, so decisive, and so... attractive.
