“Since you’ve warned him, why did he still barge into the forbidden area?”
He Qingyuan’s expressionless gaze swept past Chen Yan.
He could feel a tremendous pressure coming from above his head. He lowered his head, and bean-sized beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground. It was as if he was carrying a tremendous force on his shoulders, and he could not breathe under the pressure of the towering mountain.
Zhou Zhengqing could not help but say, “Ordinary people would not enter the forbidden area without permission. Perhaps there is another reason behind this. Other than Lin Bai, who else among you has seen suspicious people wandering around the forbidden area?”
Hearing his question, Qian Ran and the others felt a little uneasy, but they still pretended to be calm, praying that their previous actions were not seen by anyone. However, things did not go as they wished.
“I saw Qian Ran and the others passing by earlier.”
It was unknown who said this, but Qian Ran and the others’ faces turned pale. What greeted them was Zhou Zhengqing’s burning gaze, as if he could see through all conspiracies and schemes.
“When the two of you came out, I saw the two of you whispering to each other secretly earlier. Tell me honestly, why did the two of you go near the forbidden area earlier?”
Qian Ran and the others pretended to be calm as they walked out of the group. Their seemingly calm voice was mixed with a little trembling. “We were just passing by.”
Their eyes flickered. They only lowered their heads to look at the opposite side and did not dare to meet Zhou Zhengqing’s gaze. This look was obviously a guilty look. How could they escape Zhou Zhengqing’s eyes.
“So you were just passing by,” he said meaningfully as if he believed Qian Ran’s words. The few of them could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, Zhou Zhengqing suddenly raised his voice, scaring them so much that they trembled.
“Since you’re just passing by, then why are you all trembling? What are you all afraid of? Why don’t you dare to raise your heads?”
Qian Ran’s face was deathly pale, without any color of blood. He stammered for a long time, unable to speak. “I, I…”
“I remember that you all have an old grudge with Lin Bai. Did you secretly attack Lin Bai and throw him into the forbidden land for revenge?”
Zhou Zhengqing’s words were a little different, but it was not far from the truth. Qian Ran and the others were immediately speechless. They could only force themselves to say, “No.”
After all, it was only a guess and he did not have any evidence. Now that it was unknown if Lin Bai was alive and it was a question whether he could walk out of the forbidden area alive, there was nothing the elders could do if they insisted on not admitting it.
Qian Ran’s little plan was good, but unfortunately, his pig teammate’s mental fortitude was not good. His legs trembled and he knelt on the ground. “We didn’t launch a sneak attack on him. We set a trap to lure Lin Bai in…”
Once these words were said, both Qian Ran and Zhong Haoran wanted to strangle him to death. However, it was too late to stop him.
Qian Ran stood stiffly on the spot. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was, “It’s over.”.
He Qingyuan’s expression changed. A huge amount of spiritual power swept over like a tsunami. The disciple spat out blood and fell to the ground. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
An invisible air current was spreading rapidly in all directions with him as the center. The fluctuation of the spiritual power was so strong that even the air became distorted. Even the other elders with profound cultivation strength took half a step back.
They were amazed that He Qingyuan’s spiritual energy had increased by quite a bit. He had probably progressed a small step after this long solitary cultivation.
However, they had never seen him lose his temper like this. For a moment, they didn’t dare to speak.
“Do you know how much trouble you have caused to the Alchemist Association for your selfish desires? !”
The remaining disciples stopped struggling and knelt down one after another, “President, please spare us. We really don’t know why Lin Bai touched the restriction. If we knew this would happen, we definitely wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing.”
Qian Ran looked at Zhong Haoran hesitantly. Although they were the ones who did this, Zhong Haoran was the one who instigated it. Thinking about it carefully, weren’t they also being used by others to attack Chen Yan’s strength by dealing with Lin Bai.
However, the current situation was something that no one had expected.
Zhong Haoran braced himself and stood out, “President, it’s meaningless to blame them now. Why don’t we think about how to deal with this matter? Should we send people into the forbidden area?”
He didn’t want to stand up for Qian Ran under He Qingyuan’s rage either. However, if he didn’t speak, Qian Ran would probably give him up in order to protect himself. When that time came, it would be troublesome.
Now that he stood up, at least he would give Qian Ran and the others a signal and attitude. There was no need to drag everyone into the water. By then, no one would be able to escape. It would be better for him to run around outside. At least he would be able to fight for Qian Ran and the others.
Qian Ran and the others quickly understood this logic and bowed their heads without saying anything more.
Zhong Haoran’s status was higher than theirs, and he had the backing of an elder-level master. If they were to give him up, they would offend the elder instead. By then, no one would be able to deal with him, and the outcome would be even worse.
He Qingyuan made a prompt decision and said, “Elder Zhou, elder Qian, elder Li… The few of you, come with me to the forbidden land.”
He called out the names of a few people. They were all powerful elders. As for the remaining elders, they formed an array outside the forbidden land to protect them in case anything unexpected happened, and also to help them.
A group of people came to the entrance of the forbidden land in a grand manner. It must have been a long time since this place was so lively.
However, just as they arrived outside the forbidden area, they found a person laying on a stone tablet not far away.
Qian Ran and the others who were brought over immediately revealed frightened expressions. That expression was as if they had seen a ghost, because that person was none other than the fool Li whom they had pushed into the forbidden area!
They clearly remembered that the fool Li had been pushed into the forbidden area, but then who was it that had appeared here now!
