Chapter 222: The Power of Poisonous Words 🐍

"Do you dare to insult this elder..." Qiu Yongming's old face turned red, his voice filled with anger.

Shen Subing, who had just stepped out of the Ice Clear Hall, coldly interrupted, "Elder Qiu, Qingfeng is right. If Tan Yun made a mistake first, our Danmai will never shield him."

"But the matter has not yet been clarified, and you are already taking action. Don't you think that is a bit disrespectful to our Danmai?"

She was definitely not standing up for Tan Yun but rather for Shen Qingfeng.

She had grown to despise Tan Yun to the utmost. Even if he was not at fault, because of him, the Danmai had been disturbed by the law enforcement disciples and their soul-sniffing beasts for some time!

"Good, very good!" Qiu Yongming fixed his stare on Shen Subing, not allowing any rebuttal, "Ice Clear Chief, Shen Qingfeng, step aside! I need to question Tan Yun according to the law!"

Shen Subing had never intended to provoke Qiu Yongming because he was a disciple of the chief law enforcement elder of the Immortal Sect.

Shen Subing knew that she had completely severed ties with Qiu Yongming today. She cast a cold glance at Tan Yun, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment and fury.

Then, she took a deep breath and stepped three feet to the left.

"You brat, always looking for trouble." Shen Qingfeng glared at Tan Yun before standing respectfully behind Shen Subing.

"Speak! Why did you kill law enforcement disciple Qiu Qilin?" Qiu Yongming's figure flashed and appeared in front of Tan Yun, almost shouting!

If looks could kill, Tan Yun would have died a hundred times. Qiu Yongming wished he could strangle the lowly servant before him who threatened his lineage!

Tan Yun calmly replied, "Elder Law Enforcement, when I went to Huangfu Fang City, that damned Qiu Qilin first humiliated me, then extorted a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from me!"

"I, feeling aggrieved as I was leaving the city gates, demanded the Spirit Stone from Qiu Qilin. He refused and humiliated me again."

"You don't know how much I wanted to kill him at that moment, but since he didn't attack me first, according to sect rules, I had no opportunity, right?"

"So, I deliberately reminded him that I would report his private collection of Spirit Stones to the higher-ups of the sect. I also informed him that this was a serious crime that would lead to his cultivation being crippled and his expulsion from the sect."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yongming's face turned green with anger!

He knew his son's temperament all too well. Without needing to think, he knew that Qiu Qilin, fearing exposure, must have developed the intention to kill to silence Tan Yun!

But this plan was clearly a trap set by Tan Yun to kill his son!

He realized that Tan Yun's words were deliberately designed to infuriate him!

"Tan Yun, you despicable coward!" Qiu Yongming roared like thunder!

Tan Yun ignored him and continued to chuckle, "At that time, Qiu Qilin saw that no one was around and ordered twenty law enforcement disciples to take care of me and bury me afterward."

"Elder Law Enforcement, upon hearing this, I truly laughed; I had already killed twenty of them."

"At that point, I didn't immediately kill Qiu Qilin because thirty-six others from different sects wanted to kill me too."

"So I played along, flew away... oh no, more accurately, I escaped from Fang City and intentionally let Qiu Qilin and those thirty-six catch up."

"Then, they worked together to try to kill me, just as I wanted. So, I wiped them all out; the scene was truly tragic."

As his words fell, Tan Yun bowed deeply to Qiu Yongming, sincerely saying, "What I said is absolutely true. To make you believe me, I will now condense the memory image so you can see the process of me killing them."

"You... you..." Qiu Yongming was so furious his head spun, "You are truly ruthless! You clearly want to kill my son!"

"Poof!"

Qiu Yongming's body shook, and he suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"Tan Yun! I have a Memory Stone here. With this stone, the memories you condense will be even clearer," Shen Qingfeng laughed, throwing a walnut-sized, crystal-clear Memory Stone to Tan Yun.
