Chapter 1840: Throwing Mud!
Chapter 1840: Throwing Mud!
"Did she just die like that?"
Han Xinkui closed her eyes.
Naturally, she was unwilling to accept it.
She imagined entering the Saber Saint Cliff for training, but unexpectedly, everything ended before it even began.
She completely abandoned resistance.
Like an egg hitting a rock, resisting was useless.
"Bang!"
But immediately, she heard a muffled noise.
Zi Junmu seemed to be struck heavily, his entire body pressed down by a tremendous force.
His face was slapped directly onto the ground.
Creating a large pit in the earth.
Then his body twitched twice, blood gradually oozing from him, staining the soil red, and he became motionless.
Dead!
Han Xinkui heard the strange sound and felt something was off.
She opened her eyes.
Seeing Zi Junmu dead in front of her, her eyes widened.
This... what happened?!
Zi Junmu, dead?
How did he die!
She instinctively glanced at Qin Chen, but Qin Chen appeared bewildered, shaking his head to indicate he was unaware.
Han Xinkui thought to herself.
Qin Zhan was merely at Tongtian Second Layer, how could he possibly kill Zi Junmu of Tongtian Eighth Layer?
Lin Songyun looked at Qin Chen with a startled expression.
Why not acknowledge it?
Qin Chen seemed to have understood Lin Songyun’s thoughts.
"Someone is secretly observing; neither of us should expose our power or act openly for now."
An Elemental Power transmission rang in Lin Songyun’s mind.
Lin Songyun’s beautiful eyes immediately narrowed.
Is there someone planning to be the final Yellow Sparrow?
"Help!"
A desperate voice came from another direction.
Qin Chen looked over, immediately urged his Telekinesis and acted again.
"Boom!"
The sword falling towards a Han Family member was instantly knocked away.
"Who goes there?!"
Members of the Purple Mountain Ancient Clan looked around in horror.
"Boom!"
Immediately, he felt a force as heavy as a mountain crash down.
His entire body exploded in mid-air!
Blood splattered onto the face of the Han Family member.
That Han Family member was dumbfounded.
His mind went blank!
This... What on earth is going on?
Did this person self-destruct?
Han Xinkui’s gaze froze: "Someone, someone is secretly helping our Han Family."
She was delighted.
"Qin Chen, Song Yun, our luck is too good; we actually met a master willing to help."
Han Xinkui excitedly told Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
Lin Songyun’s expression was strange, thinking inwardly what Han Xinkui’s reaction would be if she knew the helpful master was beside her.
Qin Chen’s expression was one of bewilderment.
Yet secretly, he was shooting Telekinesis.
Eliminating the remaining Purple Mountain Ancient Clan members targeting the Han Family.
The crisis was resolved.
Han Jincheng, who had initially fled the fastest, somehow ran back.
"Is everyone alright?"
He asked with a concerned look.
"Han Jincheng, when there was danger, you ran the fastest; whether we are okay, I don’t know, but you certainly are."
A Han Family member spoke coldly.
It’s said that adversity reveals true character, and now this saying proves completely true.
The actions of Han Jincheng during the crisis made many Han Family members see him for what he truly is.
Han Xinkui also shot a cold look at Han Jincheng.
She had been calling him Brother Jincheng dearly.
Yet at the crucial moment, he abandoned her without hesitation.
Han Jincheng noticed the situation wasn’t in his favor, so he immediately said, "I admit, my actions earlier were somewhat inappropriate."
"But I think, compared to this matter, everyone should consider something else."
"Do you think the Purple Mountain Ancient Clan encountering us and then setting an ambush at our location was a coincidence?"
His words immediately made many Han Family members’ gazes sharpen.
Unanimously.
They all turned their gaze towards Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
Han Xinkui’s expression changed, glaring coldly at Han Jincheng: "What do you mean by that, Han Jincheng?"
Han Jincheng spoke maliciously, "I don’t mean anything; you should ask the two people beside you that you’re so intent on protecting even over your own life."
"Why did they coincidentally encounter us and insist on joining our group?"
"Most crucially, why did we encounter the Purple Mountain Ancient Clan’s ambush soon after they joined our group?"
With each word, he threw dirt onto Qin Chen’s reputation.
Han Xinkui said, "These are all your theories and suspicions; you need evidence to justify your words."
Han Jincheng laughed, "Evidence? I don’t know if everyone noticed earlier, when Zi Junmu tried to kill Han Xinkui, those two were right behind her."
"But Zi Junmu deliberately bypassed them, isn’t that fact, not my speculation? My words are completely true."
"Indeed, there are too many questionable points."
A Han Family member nodded, then looked towards Qin Chen and Lin Songyun: "You need to give us an explanation."
Qin Chen chuckled.
He glanced at Han Jincheng.
He had to admit, this fellow was quite adept at mudslinging.
However.
What explanation does he need to give these people?
Without Qin Chen, they’d already be corpses; yet now, they demand explanations like interrogating criminals.
Han Xinkui said, "Zi Junmu bypassed them to kill me because they were too weak; Zi Junmu didn’t even consider them a threat."
She was still defending Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
Fighting alone.
Han Jincheng clearly won public favor.
He chuckled and said, "Han Xinkui, are you being naïve or just stupid?"
"Or perhaps, you have your own issues?! Constantly defending these two unrelated people raises suspicions."
Han Xinkui’s beautiful eyes widened; now they’re even suspecting her?
Moreover, seeing the Han Family members’ gazes towards her, their eyes were filled with deep suspicion.
These people had entirely fallen into Han Jincheng’s way of thinking!
"Enough talking, since you claim the Purple Mountain Ancient Clan was summoned by us, then we’ll just leave."
Qin Chen casually smiled; he didn’t need to prove anything to these people.
"I’ll leave with you."
Han Xinkui said angrily.
"You don’t need to leave, Han Xinkui, we still trust you."
A Han Family member spoke up.
"You can go on believing his nonsense, when he fled faster than anyone earlier in the crucial moment."
Han Xinkui was clearly very angry, pulling Qin Chen and Lin Songyun away.
Han Jincheng said indifferently, "Let her leave if she wants; she might turn out to be an uncertain factor."
"This way, we can ensure complete safety."
Upon hearing this, the Han Family members felt it made sense.
Lin Songyun transmitted to Qin Chen, "Has the person in the shadows left?"
Qin Chen responded, "No."
"So that means they are in danger?"
Qin Chen chuckled and said, "But what does that have to do with us?"
