He Qing followed the source of the magical aura, held his temper and quickly went to the backyard, only to see that the yard was in a mess, the peach tree had been overturned, the desk and cushion under the tree were all scattered here and there, the air was filled with the stench of corpses and some blue dust of unknown origin.
Chen Yue from Tianxuan Mountain was busy trying to purify, Yun Chu from Tianshu Gate was holding a compass and planning to set up an array, both of them were muttering to themselves, plus the screams of the disciples from Yuling Palace and the cheers of Le Qingru who was stretching out his two wolf ears, the noise was as loud as poking seventeen or eighteen hornets' nests.
He Qing clenched his cheeks, picked up the whisk at the crook of his arm, and lashed it out at the only rockery standing in the courtyard. A huge explosion sounded, and the rock was instantly shattered into pieces. The barrier covering the entire North Peak was also directly shattered.
Yue Qingru was startled. She shrunk her neck and turned back. When she saw that it was her master, she quickly ran over to complain: "Master, you are back at the right time. These people from the Yuling Palace wanted to bully us while you were away!"
He Qing didn't look at Yue Qingru, but stared at Chen Sanyi who was "protected" by two magic weapons on both sides, and said expressionlessly: "Master Chen, it's because I didn't treat you well these few days, so I asked you to destroy my temple before you left?"
However, Chen Sanyi seemed not to hear it. He looked at Lu Li, who was far away from him, with an uncertain look in his eyes, his lips moving as if he was talking to himself.
He Qing was a little confused and was about to ask, but Yue Qingru at the side took the initiative to explain the whole story: "Master, when they were leaving, they met Lu Li. They said Lu Li was blocking the way and wanted to teach him a lesson. Senior Brother Chang Nian came to help, so they sealed his magic. I said I wanted you to come back and take charge, but they even wanted to beat me up!"
Chen Yue, who was standing by, hesitated to speak: It seems that this is not the case, but it also seems that this is the case...
After hearing this, He Qing walked over with a cold face: "Master Chen, do you have any explanation?"
Chen Sanyi looked in Lu Li's direction, his facial features gradually distorted, and he began to mutter silently, as if he was insane: "Impossible, this is impossible... How could it be here? How could it be... Ridiculous... Too ridiculous..."
Everyone listened to these fragmentary words and looked at each other in confusion. Only He Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
If others heard these words, they might just think he was talking nonsense, but He Qing knew that Chen Sanyi seemed to know Lu Li's identity.
If he continues to talk like this, others will definitely become suspicious.
He Qing immediately felt murderous.
Gu Changnian followed Chen Sanyi's line of sight and looked at Lu Li, subconsciously asking: "Master Chen, what are you talking about?"
"Hehehe… Impossible…" Chen Sanyi didn't know whether he was afraid or excited, his laughter trembled a little. He said: "You call yourselves the pioneers of the immortal sect, not only do you harbor a half-demon, you also—ah!"
Chen Sanyi didn't finish his words. He looked down at his chest that was pierced by the whisk, opened his mouth wide, and could not make any sound.
Gu Changnian looked at He Qing in surprise, but saw that her eyes were full of coldness. At this moment, Gu Changnian felt that the master in front of him was so strange that he dared not recognize him.
Lu Li was also looking at He Qing, with admiration in his eyes, but also a sense of intrusion as if he had discovered prey.
Yue Qingru and the other three were also stunned. They had just thought that when He Qing came, they would be able to teach these people from the Yuling Palace a lesson. They never thought that He Qing would directly kill the leader of a fairy sect.
"He Qing! What did you do?!"
Yue Qingru looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the leaders of the other four peaks had arrived on their swords and were hovering above the backyard of the North Peak, all with looks of astonishment on their faces.
He Qing retracted the long shadow without even turning his head. He looked at the clean white tail and frowned slightly in dissatisfaction: "Tsk."
Everyone saw her strange reaction, and then took a closer look, and saw that Chen Sanyi, who had been hit directly by He Qing, was left with only a rapidly decaying corpse.
"Ah?" Yue Qingru was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped: "This, this leader is fake?"
At this time, Chen Sanyi's rough voice was heard in the air: "I have learned a lot from Sect Leader He Qing's strength. We will meet again, hehehe."
He Qing listened to this and looked indifferent on the surface, but he secretly hated Yeying so much that he almost broke his grip on him: You evil demon, if I don't kill you, I will take your surname!
※
Yue Qingru, Chen Yue and Yun Chu were quietly cleaning up the mess in the backyard. They all seemed a little absent-minded and kept glancing in the direction of the study room, even though a barrier had been set up there and they could not hear anything.
In the study, He Qing said slowly with his hands in his pockets: "This is what happened. He smashed my sect and insulted my disciples. I had no choice but to take action."
Gu Changnian felt something stuck in his throat when he heard this explanation.
He knew very well that if his master wanted to kill them because the people from the Yuling Palace were causing chaos in the North Peak, he would not have destroyed the rockery first as a warning.
The reason why Master wanted to kill was because...
Gu Changnian glanced at the person beside him who was lowering his head and looking submissive: Lu Li.
"Even so!" Xuan Qingzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You can't just kill him! Chen Sanyi is neither a demon nor an evil spirit. As the leader of the Yaoguang Sect, how can you kill someone who is also a fairy sect?!"
He Qing let out a long breath of foul air and said sincerely, "Master, since I took action, I knew that it was not his true body. My original intention was to warn him and to have a fight with him. I definitely did not want to kill him."
Upon hearing this, Guanyue looked at the other three sect leaders, while Daoyi and Chongying looked at Xuan Qingzi. After all, in the entire Lingshan, Xuan Qingzi and Heqing were the only ones who were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Heqing said that she could tell that it was a puppet, so they did not want to question it.
But what could Xuan Qingzi say? Say he didn't see it? That was absolutely impossible, so he could only clear his throat.
He Qing added, "I have always been puzzled that all the disciples of the Yuling Palace carry a magical instrument, but only the head of the palace, Chen Sanyi, came alone. After a closer look, I found that the Chen Sanyi who came to Lingshan this time was not himself."
This was a well-founded statement, and with two witnesses testifying, Xuan Qingzi could not continue to dwell on it, and could only say earnestly: "He Qing, I have also watched you come this far, and in the past ten years you were at most a senior..." Xuan Qingzi's words came to an abrupt halt, and after a pause he continued: "At most it was a little absurd, but look at you now, with a murderous aura, how can you look like the head of an immortal sect?"
There were at least three people in the study who knew what Xuan Qingzi's unspoken words meant.
For example, Gu Changnian lowered his head in embarrassment.
For example, Lu Li, with his eyelids drooped with sneer in his eyes.
Another example is He Qing, who looked displeased.
