"Who!"

"Get out of here, old man!"

A sharp and angry howl sounded deep in the swampy forest.

Lin Qi's information was not wrong. Chen Qinghui was indeed the best youngster of the Chen family.

Sudden death on the Dongzhou battlefield was like breaking an arm of the Chen family. How could Chen Hao not be angry?

His first suspects were Lin Qi and Lao Ye.

Chen Hao carefully searched for traces of the battle around him, and he found clues.

Using the trace tracing technique, the scene before Chen Qinghui's death was projected into the void.

As soon as Chen Hao raised his eyes, he saw a frost-colored blade attacking Chen Qinghui with overwhelming sword intent.

Chen Qinghui's eyes widened with disbelief.

The picture lasted for a moment and then disappeared. Chen Hao did not see who the murderer was.

However, seeing the sword energy, it was almost instantly certain that the monk had done it.

As for the frost-colored leaves... If he remembered correctly, Nanzhou Lin Qi had extremely pure ice spiritual roots and was extremely proficient in ice spell cultivation.

Quickly collecting the body for Chen Qinghui, Chen Hao turned around and ran non-stop towards the tree hole where Lin Qi and Lao Ye were hiding.

Before the person could get close, a void sword shadow above his head struck down in the air with terrifying power.

The giant tree split into pieces in an instant, and the rich and terrifying spiritual energy exploded in front of his eyes, revealing Lin Qi cross-legged on the ground.

Lin Qi opened her eyes with difficulty. Her breath was a bit weaker than usual. Her precious robes were damaged in many places and stained with blood. She looked a bit embarrassed.

Chen Hao raised his hand to control the sword, and moved it downwards with ease. The giant sword above the void split the cold light on both sides, and stabbed Lin Qi's head with murderous intent.

Lin Qi pulled out a sword flower with her backhand, slashed the sword in the air, and the Tai Chi sword intention left the sword in an instant.

The two swords collided, several explosions occurred in the sky, and the waves of spiritual energy surged like sea water.

Lin Qi stood under the debris of the tree holding a sword and said angrily: "Chen Hao, what do you want to do?"

Chen Hao snorted coldly, "I should be the one to ask you this."

"Since you dare to attack Qinghui, you must be prepared to die!"

Lin Qi's expression was slightly stunned, and doubts swept across her face for a moment.

She immediately put away her expression and said with a cold face: "Chen Qinghui is dead?"

"It's ridiculous. Instead of going to seek revenge on his murderer, you came to me and screamed that if you want to do it, do it. Why do you have to make excuses to deceive yourself?"

Chen Hao sneered: "You didn't do it? Then where did your injuries come from?"

Lin Qi's face was cold, "Do you think Chen Qinghui is capable of leaving wounds on me?"

After Lin Qi reminded him, Chen Hao realized that the scars on Lin Qi's body were not traces left by the Chen family's magic.

Moreover, Chen Qinghui's combat power was far inferior to Lin Qi's, so it was really unlikely that he could injure Lin Qi like this.

Another thing, Chen Hao didn't notice Lao Ye's existence.

He subconsciously increased his vigilance, fearing that Lao Ye was ambushing in secret and accidentally fell into the scheme of these two people.

"Where is your companion?"

Lin Qi snorted bitterly, "As you can see, killing people and seizing treasures makes me a big injustice."

Chen Hao would subconsciously wonder, could it be that Lao Ye failed to kill Lin Qi and secretly took action against Chen Qinghui?

But he was not stupid, so he would not dispel his suspicion based on Lin Qi's few words.

He made a backhand shot and said, "Can Fellow Daoist Lin know this move?"

Lin Qi raised her eyes, was slightly stunned, and quickly replied: "No."

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of ridicule: "Just because I am a Binglinggen? To be honest, if Fellow Daoist Chen wants to fight, just fight him. Don't make such stupid excuses. It's really full of loopholes."

Chen Hao's face was a little ugly, "You said I slandered you?! Could it be that Qinghui's death was also fake?!" Lin Qi blinked and said in disbelief: "Chen Qinghui is really dead? I really thought you were deliberately making excuses. You’re fooling me.”

Chen Hao was holding a breath in his chest and almost vomited blood. "Don't change the subject and pretend to be sweet! Do you have any evidence to prove that you didn't kill Qinghui?"

"You are the only Ice Spirit Root cultivator within ten miles!"

Lin Qi said calmly: "Of course I have evidence."

She threw a high-level image stone with her backhand.

Chen Hao raised his hand to catch it, and an image was instantly projected in the air.

In the image, it was Lao Ye who was attacking Lin Qi in the tree hole. In the battle record that lasted for half a quarter of an hour, Lao Ye happened to use the same move.

Seeing the frost-colored leaves, Chen Hao's eyes suddenly froze.

Thanks to the special material of the photo stone, there is no possibility of fraud.

So it is obvious that it was Lao Ye who quietly attacked Chen Qinghui.

Lin Qi explored her hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on."

"When the fog rose, Lao Ye suddenly attacked me. After a while of fighting, I was injured. He couldn't win for a long time, so he took the opportunity to steal my storage bag and ran away."

"Storage bag?!" Chen Hao's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill this person!"

After Chen Qinghui's death, his body was still intact, but all the stored spiritual energy in his body had been plundered.

After the two sides met the clues, Chen Hao turned around and chased him out.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ye appeared calmly from the thick fog.

Looking at Chen Hao who drew his sword and was about to attack, he spoke calmly: "What happened?"

From the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Qi looking embarrassed and frowned slightly.

He said to Lin Qi with a faint smile: "It seems that these outside monks are not good people. You have been a life-saving grace to him, and today, while the fog is rising, I actually want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack you."

Lin Qi followed suit and drew her sword expressionlessly, "Old Ye, you've overacted."

"Where's my storage bag?"

"Storage bag?" Lao Ye frowned, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, as if he was asking Lin Qi why it was different from what he had agreed before.

"Your storage bag is missing, why do you ask me? Do you still suspect that I stole it?"

Chen Hao sensed that something was wrong with the two people's reactions and asked, "Did you kill Qing Hui?"

"Qinghui? That friend of yours is dead?" Lao Ye stopped in place, "Don't accuse people unjustly. I chased the monster all the way out today, and I never saw a single person!"

"Really?" Chen Hao sneered, obviously not believing Lao Ye's excuse.

The figure had already rushed in front of Lao Ye, its five fingers turned into claws, and sharply grasped Lao Ye's shoulders.

Lin Qi took the opportunity to throw out an illusion pill.

Old Ye, who raised his hands to resist, instantly turned into a three-eyed vulture.

Chen Qinghui's arms moved for a moment, and he seemed to understand something in the flash of lightning, and said angrily: "That day, you were secretly acting as a monster to ruin my good deeds!"

"It turns out that you have been interested in me since then!"

Lin Qi was also surprised and shouted: "Old Ye, it turns out that the day we met, I was attacked by a vicious beast. The so-called life-saving grace was planned by you!"

The life-saving acquaintance was made up by Lin Qi and Lao Ye to fool the monks of the Chen family.

Lao Ye didn't expect that Lin Qi could bite him back from here.

When Lao Ye came back, he was originally planning to fall out with Lin Qi.

But he was not as prepared as Lin Qi, and Lin Qi put the blame on his head. For a while, he really couldn't find any words to defend himself.
