The Treasure Generating Bowl - Chapter 104
Chapter 104 Debate
“No…no…”
Zheng Menglong, sweating profusely from He Pingsheng’s questioning, replied, “I wasn’t there at the time!”
“Not present?” This time it was Yu Ning who asked: “Menglong, you neither heard rumors from others nor saw it with your own eyes, so why are you so sure that He Pingsheng is the murderer of Linglong?”
“Could it be that you secretly killed your senior sister and then framed He Pingsheng?”
“No, no…” Zheng Menglong panicked immediately: “Uncle-Master, I didn’t… I’m only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, how could I possibly defeat my senior sister at the eleventh level of Qi Refining!”
“oh!”
Yu Ning nodded and said, “You’re at the eighth level of Qi Refining and you can’t beat Linglong at the eleventh level, does that mean my disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining can beat Linglong?”
Jung Mong-ryong almost cried from the questions.
That’s right, everything about him is speculation.
Why would you make this assumption?
Because Jung Mong-ryong understood this perfectly well.
Back in the secret realm, Linglong had him and three other senior brothers constantly patrol and search for He Pingsheng, and then kill him.
But later he did not find He Pingsheng. Instead, he received news from Linglong that she had found He Pingsheng.
So they rushed over there in a great hurry.
When they arrived, they found a scene of utter devastation.
The scene was so chaotic that even Zheng Menglong himself didn’t know who won or lost, who lived or died. It wasn’t until he left the secret realm and met his master, Yu De, that he learned the whole story.
With such a simple judgment, it is clear that He Pingsheng killed Linglong.
But he did not have any evidence.
It doesn’t matter if there’s no evidence; I just need to point it out, and my master will take action.
Just now, news of my master’s passing arrived.
Jeong Mong-ryong is now in a difficult situation.
Now that he has no backer, what can he do?
We have no choice but to compromise.
“I…I…I…” He stammered, sweating profusely, “I have no evidence. I just…I just think Junior Brother He is highly suspicious because Senior Sister Linglong once plotted against him!”
“I think he’ll seek revenge; he has the motive!”
Whoosh…
An uproar erupted in the main hall.
Clearly, this accusation is unfounded.
“Hoo…” Elder Hong took a deep breath and said, “This… it doesn’t make sense no matter what. We can’t just conclude that He Pingsheng killed Linglong simply because he had a grudge against her!”
“Furthermore, according to our investigation, there were five people who accompanied Linglong into the secret realm and were responsible for protecting her safety. That means there were six people in Linglong’s group!”
“To be honest, I don’t believe that He Pingsheng is capable of killing five of these six people!”
Upon hearing this, He Pingsheng immediately feigned shock and asked, “What, five?”
“Does the elder mean that five disciples have died?”
The shock was perfectly timed.
It would be strange if He Pingsheng didn’t show the slightest shock at this moment.
This was also the countermeasure discussed by Elder Hong and Daoist Feng.
It was used to test He Pingsheng.
Unexpectedly, He Pingsheng’s quick thinking broke the plan.
“Hmph…” Feng Daogu snorted coldly.
Elder Hong nodded and said, “Yes… a total of five disciples died, except for Zheng Menglong who survived!”
“Elder Hong!” Yu Ning asked, “Now, can the suspicion against my disciple He Pingsheng be cleared?”
“No!” Elder Hong shook his head and said, “I have another question!”
“He Pingsheng…” Elder Hong asked again, “I would like to ask, when did you leave the secret realm?”
“Also, why didn’t you come back with everyone after you came out?”
Elder Hong raised two questions.
Everyone looked at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng took a deep breath and said, “This junior left the secret realm on the eve of its final day of closure!”
“As for why I didn’t come back with everyone, it’s because I was afraid!”
“Afraid?” Elder Hong asked, “What are you afraid of?”
He Pingsheng said, “I’m afraid of Linglong and Luoyu!”
“Heh… Nonsense!” Nun Feng sneered, “Linglong and Luoyu were already dead by then, why would you be afraid of them?”
He Pingsheng cupped his hands in greeting: “At that time, it’s not normal that I didn’t know who died.”
“Alright!” Elder Hong said, “He Pingsheng, tell me, why are you afraid of them?”
He Pingsheng silently took out his treasure bag and then pulled out six golden apricots from it.
Shui Yuan Ling Xing.
“This is……”
“Shui Yuan Lingxing?”
“Oh my god?”
“He actually managed to get his hands on the Water Spirit Apricot?”
“Six still?”
Everyone stared wide-eyed at He Pingsheng.
Elder Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, “Good lad, you’ve got quite a bit of luck. Tell me about it!”
He Pingsheng replied, “Yes!”
“I arrived at Ice Lake around the eleventh day after entering the secret realm!”
“Eleven days?” Hou Muxian suddenly spoke up, saying, “That’s not right. On the eleventh day, I was at Ice Lake, but I didn’t see you, Junior Brother!”
These words caused a huge stir.
Yu Ning glared fiercely at Hou Muxian.
Hou Muxian then realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
A slight smile appeared on Feng Daogu’s lips.
However, He Pingsheng remained very calm. He said, “It’s normal that Senior Brother Hou didn’t see me… I didn’t see you either!”
the exciting content!
“Because I didn’t go directly to the island in the middle of that icy lake!”
“I entered the water near the lake and swam all the way to the center!”
“Then, after searching the bottom of the lake in the center and obtaining six ripe [Water Elemental Apricots], I used water escape to leave!”
“So, senior brother didn’t see me!”
“Having obtained the Spirit Apricot, I naturally won’t expose myself!”
That makes sense now.
Elder Hong nodded and said, “So you know the Water Escape Technique?”
“Yes!” He Pingsheng said, “This junior has cultivated a spell called the [Ren Water Escape Technique]. If you elders do not believe me, I can demonstrate this water escape technique to you right now!”
“I can testify to this!” Zhao Ling’er immediately raised her hand and said, “When we encountered danger and crushed the jade talisman to escape from the secret realm, Junior Brother did not leave. He jumped off the cliff. Moreover, before I teleported, I heard him say that he knew the Water Escape Technique!”
“They even tried to persuade me not to leave!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xu Kunlun said, “I can testify to that too!”
Elder Hong nodded: “I don’t think Junior Nephew He will make a fuss about this. You should be proficient in water escape techniques!”
“Yes!” He Pingsheng continued, “But as luck would have it, when I swam back to the water’s edge and jumped out of the Ice Lake, I ran into Luo Yu and Linglong!”
“They’re trying to steal my Spirit Apricot!”
“Senior Sister Luoyu also took out a golden bell and shook it a few times at me from a distance. My divine sense almost collapsed!”
“His divine sense is still severely damaged!”
“I escaped their pursuit by using water magic through a river connected to the icy lake.”
“But I know that Senior Sister Linglong has always been domineering and willful. I fear that after we leave the secret realm, she will try to take my Water Elemental Apricot again. Moreover, if they fail to kill me, they will surely kill me to silence me!”
“This disciple is all alone on Xiuzhu Peak, with no one to rely on!”
“To be honest, Elder, I was thinking that after escaping the secret realm, I would never return to the Taixu Sect, and would run far away for the rest of my life!”
“So I disguised myself as a woman and used a [Disguise Talisman] to escape!”
