Hai Qianmo stepped forward, bowed to Dijiang in apology, a scene that left Lin Heng completely bewildered.
Lin Heng's hand, which was about to release the bowstring, tightened again.
After glancing at Hai Qianmo and thinking it over carefully, Lin Heng quickly guessed what the guy was thinking.
"Hehe!"
"You're not bad."
"Able to take on responsibilities, let go of burdens, and know how to seize opportunities."
Lin Heng's words relieved Hai Qianmo.
Unexpectedly, Lin Heng then said:
An enemy like you is far more troublesome than that guy from before.
Just that one sentence made Hai Qianmo's nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up again.
He stared intently at Lin Heng, his eyes wide and his expression focused.
After all, Lin Heng's words just now sounded like he wanted to get rid of Hai Qianmo.
However, if Hai Qianmo and Lin Heng's positions were reversed...
Hai Qianmo will not hesitate for a moment and will definitely eliminate Lin Heng today.
An arrogant and domineering opponent is not scary; there are plenty of ways to deal with them.
But the most terrifying opponent is one who knows how to be patient and, more importantly, how to let go.
Especially someone like Hai Qianmo, who can even set aside his arrogance, what else is he incapable of doing?
Just as Hai Qianmo was staring at Lin Heng with a wary expression.
Lin Heng suddenly waved his hand, releasing a soundproof barrier that enveloped him and Hai Qianmo.
Upon seeing this, Hai Qianmo was secretly delighted.
Since Lin Heng wanted to have some private conversations with him...
This at least proves that he wasn't that determined to kill himself, and that he still had a glimmer of hope.
Once the soundproof barrier covered the two of them, Lin Heng spoke.
"I can let bygones be bygones today, since you apologized."
"However, I have a few questions."
Whether I pursue this matter further depends on your answer; it must satisfy me.
Hai Qianmo nodded in understanding, and seeing this, Lin Heng also began to ask questions.
First, what exactly is this Eternal Ruins?
Hai Qianmo was still a little confused when Lin Heng mentioned ' Eternal Ruins '.
Then Lin Heng pointed out to him that the Eternal Ruins were the very building he had just destroyed.
Once Hai Qianmo understood, she immediately gave a reply.
" The Eternal Ruins you speak of were originally a storage room for my clan."
"And the spirit that appeared earlier is the controller of this storage room."
"Speaking of which, this artifact spirit is actually related to a traitor from our clan."
"The spirit was originally going to be discarded by our clan, but that traitor took it in."
"But later, that person betrayed our clan, so we threw the artifact spirit and the traitor's belongings into the storeroom, abandoning the storeroom along with it from our clan."
"As for why the storage room and the spirit of the artifact have become what you call Eternal Ruins, I have no idea."
Hearing this, Lin Heng found it laughable.
A storage room abandoned by the Hai Qianmo clan.
Having arrived in Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, they became highly sought-after commodities.
If these cultivators from Four Seas and Eight Wastelands knew about this, I wonder what they would think.
At the same time, Hai Qianmo's words also aroused Lin Heng's vigilance.
The strength of this mysterious clan is truly terrifying!
A few random young people could instantly kill a powerhouse at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm.
Even the abandoned storerooms within the clan contain items that are beyond the reach of powerful figures throughout the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
Just how terrifying is the strength of this clan?
Compared to Hai Qianmo and the other three, the image of Jian Yin appeared in Lin Heng's mind.
The mere sight of a pendant he casually pulled out was enough to cause such panic among Hai Qianmo and the others.
Just how terrifying is the strength of the Jian Yin?
A series of questions arose in Lin Heng's mind.
He quickly shook his head, suppressing these questions, and then continued to ask Hai Qianmo:
You just said Su Jin was killed, what exactly happened?
Hai Qianmo was also taken aback for a moment.
He gave Lin Heng a deep look.
But judging from Lin Heng's expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it.
This prompted Hai Qianmo to ask a question.
"You really didn't kill Su Jin?"
Lin Heng snorted softly upon hearing this.
"I, Lin Heng, am someone who dares to do things, and I naturally dare to take responsibility for them."
"I've only met Su Jin twice, and I don't have a particularly good impression of her."
"But at least she didn't mean me any harm."
"So I'm also quite curious about her death; who could have killed her?"
Hai Qianmo fell silent.
Through his brief encounter with Lin Heng, he concluded that Lin Heng was not the kind of person who would do something but not take responsibility for it.
If that's the case, then Su Jin's death has nothing to do with Lin Heng...
A flash of anger suddenly appeared in Hai Qianmo's eyes.
The next second, Hai Qianmo turned her gaze to Lin Heng again.
"Perhaps this time, we've all been outmaneuvered."
If I'm not mistaken.
"I'm afraid the one who targeted Su Jin was most likely that traitor from our clan."
" Lin Heng, I will definitely report this matter to the clan elders when I return, and they will investigate it thoroughly."
"If it really was that traitor who did it, then I can probably guess his motive."
Hai Qianmo stopped there.
Clearly, there were some things he couldn't tell Lin Heng.
Lin Heng did not pursue the matter further.
Lin Heng then asked his last question.
How much do you know about Fate?
After Lin Heng finished speaking, Hai Qianmo's expression became quite complex.
After gathering her thoughts, Hai Qianmo finally spoke:
What I can tell you is that Fate is not truly Fate.
"And his purpose in life is revenge."
"Judging from this incident, it's even possible that he's using you to exact his revenge."
Hai Qianmo's words made Lin Heng wonder.
Could it be that Fate is to be that traitor of the Hai Qianmo clan?
Was the murder of Su Jin, framed against him, intended to incite conflict between him and his clan?
However, Lin Heng also had a question about this.
With Hai Qianmo and his group's strength.
If I hadn't encountered the Jian Yin One.
Even with the help of the methods left behind by Mu Chen, he might not be able to escape unscathed now that Hai Qianmo and the other three have appeared.
How then can Fate exact its revenge through its own hands?
In an instant, Lin Heng's mind was filled with a million questions.
The numerous questions also gave him a real headache.
At this moment, Hai Qianmo bowed to Lin Heng.
"Brother Lin, I need to return to the clan and report this matter to the elders as soon as possible."
"If Brother Lin has nothing else to say..."
Hai Qianmo didn't finish her last sentence, only waiting for Lin Heng's reply with a tentative tone.
Lin Heng didn't intend to make things difficult for Hai Qianmo any further, and nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, you may leave."
After saying that, Lin Heng added another sentence.
"But I don't want the same thing to happen a second time."
"Otherwise, we'll be being used as pawns."
"I will also fight your clan to the death."
