Who Was Behind It?

Xu Qingying frowned, sensing that something major must have happened, and it concerned the Huangfu Household head and Huangfu Qi. But what could she do to those two?!

She endured Huangfu Qi's horrific injuries to her brother!

"What can I do to them? What is the purpose of your visit?!"

Seeing Xu Qingying's bewildered expression, the Nangong Household head and the others frowned and exchanged glances.

Xu Qingying does seem a bit confused. Could it be that the Huangfu Household head and his son weren't really crippled by Xu Qingying?!

Just then, Lin Qingxue arrived quickly and landed in the main hall.

She had already received the intelligence, and her expression was extremely complex. After landing, she quickly looked at the Nangong Household head and the Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Huangfu Household, and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists, I have learned what happened. Please calm down! Things are not that simple!"

The Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Huangfu Household was named Huangfu Hongtian. When he saw Lin Qingxue, he stared intently at Lin Qingxue.

Lin Qingxue may also be involved in this matter!

"Master! What exactly happened?!" Xu Qingying asked in a deep voice.

Lin Qingxue looked at Xu Qingying with a complicated expression.

She wasn't sure what her apprentice's current strength was like, and whether it really wasn't her apprentice who did it.

If it wasn't his own apprentice, who else could it be?!

"Disciple, not long ago, Fellow Daoist Huangfu and his son Huangfu Qi were suddenly locked in their home by a terrifying pressure. They didn't even see each other before their meridians were shattered, their Dantian exploded, their cultivation was completely destroyed, and they fainted!"

Lin Qingxue revealed the information she knew, her eyes filled with suspicion and confusion as she looked at Xu Qingying.

Could my own apprentice really have achieved such a terrifying level?!

That true strength was already more than enough to crush her!!

We didn't see anyone!

The father and son were instantly crippled!!!

Terrifying!!

When she first heard the news, she was a little skeptical. But after receiving confirmation and seeing Huangfu Hongtian and the others arrive, the answer became clear.

After hearing this, Xu Qingying was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

What?!

Is this human language?

Why can't I understand?!

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? If it were Huangfu Qi, it wouldn't matter. Isn't the Huangfu Household head at the Peak Great Emperor Realm, just like you?" Xu Qingying frowned, seriously doubting that she had misheard, or that there was some misunderstanding.

Etc!

Neither of them showed up, so who can prove that this is all true?!

"That's the problem!" Lin Qingxue quickly looked at Huangfu Hongtian and said, "Fellow Daoist, I understand how your Huangfu Household feels right now, but think about it carefully. My disciple is only at the Late Great Emperor Realm, and you know my strength is about the same as yours!"

Huangfu Hongtian was also very confused about this issue.

No matter how special Xu Qingying's Emperor Position is, once she cultivates to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, her strength will indeed surpass theirs. However, she is currently only at the Late Great Emperor Realm, and this strength cannot be hidden from them.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Xuanyu was recently crippled, and it was Huangfu Qi who crippled him. Now that both Huangfu Qi and his son have been crippled, Xu Qingying is definitely the most suspicious person!

As for how Xu Qingying did it, he had no idea!

"If it's not you, then who else could it be?!" Huangfu Hongtian said in a deep voice.

"I don't believe anyone can so easily cripple the Huangfu Household head! I'm going to go see those two!" Xu Qingying was somewhat skeptical.

"Alright! Then go and take a look!"

And so, the group flew towards the Huangfu Household's residence.

When Xu Qingying appeared before Huangfu Qi and his son, the two lay pale-faced on the bed, barely clinging to life, their cultivation aura dissipating continuously.

It's completely useless!!

It's even worse than her brother's!

Her brother should be able to get moving by at least the next day, but it looks like things are going to be tough for these two!

It's hard to say whether she'll be able to take care of herself afterwards!

She could even see that Huangfu Qi's pants were wet...

"This..." Xu Qingying carefully checked the documents and, after confirming that Huangfu Qi and his son were not using fake identities, fell silent.

Lin Qingxue also stood there, completely bewildered.

Real!

It was all real!

Who!

Who is it?!

"What else do you have to say!" Huangfu Hongtian said through gritted teeth.

With the Huangfu Household's strongest patriarch and the exceptionally talented Huangfu Qi both in this state, the Huangfu Household's strength in the Immortal Ruins is about to plummet!

Xu Qingying was stunned for a while before gritting her teeth.

"Fellow Daoist, do you believe I did this?"

Huangfu Hongtian said in a deep voice, "Besides you, who else could it be?!"

"Fine, if I had such power, would you still dare to speak to me like that?!"

Xu Qingying's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Huangfu Hongtian suddenly took two steps back.

The Nangong Household head and others did the same, quickly distancing themselves from Xu Qingying and her disciple.

"You don't need to do this. I've already said it wasn't me! As for who did it, I don't know for the time being! Besides, if I had that kind of strength, who in this Immortal Ruins could be my match?!" Xu Qingying said in a deep voice.

The head of the Nangong Household and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Both Huangfu Qi and his son were suddenly crippled at the Huangfu Household. Huangfu Hongtian was also nearby at the time, but there was no fight. It goes without saying how terrifying the enemy's strength was!

"Therefore, I advise you both to rest and recover properly, and not to speculate wildly! This is just retribution! Because I heard another version of the story from my brother!"

At this point, Xu Qingying glanced at the head of the Nangong Household.

The moment Xu Qingying looked at the head of the Nangong Household, he felt a chill run through his body and immediately looked away.

If Xu Qingying was behind this, will he also face Xu Qingying retaliation?!

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu! I think Fellow Daoist Xu is absolutely right!"

The head of the Nangong Household gritted his teeth and quickly looked at Huangfu Hongtian, trying to appease him.

Huangfu Hongtian remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"Fine! I'll believe you for now! I'll take good care of them both! I hope you can help find the murderer later!"

"Don't worry, I'll investigate thoroughly!"

After Xu Qingying finished speaking, she left with her master.

Huangfu Hongtian and the others were left standing quietly in place.

The master and his apprentice left the Huangfu Household and went to a deserted place, where they stopped in mid-air.

The two stood facing each other and surprisingly spoke at the same time.

"Master, was this your doing?!"

"Disciple, is this what you did?!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they both frowned in unison.

It seems neither of them were responsible!

"Then, whose work was this?!" Xu Qingying held her breath and quickly looked around.

She suddenly felt incredibly suffocated.

Could it be that someone is secretly observing them from all sides?!

This person is capable of such methods; their strength is so great that even if they were hiding nearby, the two of them probably wouldn't have noticed them!
