The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 283: What a pity that it’s not you

When the two disciples of the Tiansong Sect had come out, they had not shared what Mo Yitian had done. They had merely said that Mo Yitian had allowed them to leave and that other than Mo Yitian and Yuan Zheng, there was also Luo Qinghan, a disciple of the Jihan Sect, present.

However, after one analyzed the words of the other disciples of the Tiansong Sect, who had been previously asked to leave by Mo Yitian a few days ago, the situation of the past was not hard to imagine.

Mo Yitian and Yuan Zheng must have had had an issue with Luo Qinghan.

As for the details, a few of the disciples of the Tiansong Sect were aware of them but did not dare to share.

As for the person who had tried to obliterate Mo Yitian and Yuan Zheng, he was a young man who was dressed in white and had worn a mask to conceal his identity. This was definitely someone who wanted to be a hero and come to Luo Qinghan’s rescue and had thus acted out of rage to save Luo Qinghan.

The entire situation could be summed up as Luo Qinghan being a victim.

If one wanted to be blunt, it could be said that even if Mo Yitian and Yuan Zheng were to die, it would be their own fault.

However, the disciples of the Tiansong Sect did not dare to run their mouths. Because of this, the Sect Leader, Huang Chunqiu, had insisted that his disciple, Mo Yitian, had at most only discussed Dharma Power training with Luo Qinghan and could not have had any evil intentions in mind.

Yet, everyone knew that he was covering up for Mo Yitian.

“Sect Leader Meng, I was too hasty.”

Huang Chunqiu had, of course, recognized that he had been too biased against Luo Qinghan in this matter and immediately softened his stance. He spoke in a conciliatory tone, “Sect Leader Meng, I would like to ask your sect disciple, Luo Qinghan, some questions regarding the attempted murder of my disciple, Mo Yitian… I wonder if that would be convenient?”

Seeing as Huang Chunqiu was conciliatory, Meng Yuping knew that she had to give him some face as well. In any case, they had a cordial relationship before. Meng Yuping thus quickly found Luo Qinghan to ask for her opinion. “Luo Qinghan, share what you know with me and do not hide or omit any details.”

In reality, while Sect Leader Meng was on the way to find Luo Qinghan, she had already heard of the matter and knew of what Mo Yitian had planned to do.

At that moment, many disciples of the Jihan Sect had been extremely enraged about the matter. However, as the Sect Leader of the Jihan Sect, she had to contain her anger but secretly scolded and cursed at Mo Yitian in her head.

Because of this, once the Sect Leader of the Tiansong Sect, Huang Chunqiu, had spoken hastily, she had put aside their good relations and retaliated fiercely!

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Luo Qinghan acknowledged Sect Leader Meng and turned neutrally to glance at Huang Chunqiu. “Sect Leader Huang, I met your disciple, Yuan Zheng, on the Guiyao planet a month ago. He…”

Seeing as Luo Qinghan seemed to be ready to share all details of the matter, Huang Chunqiu’s face changed as he had already been made aware of the issues of the past through his own disciples of the Tiansong Sect. He immediately interrupted Luo Qinghan and said, “I don’t require the details of the matter.

“I only require information on the attempted murder of my disciple, Mo Yitian, and the nature of his murderer.”

Was this a joke?

At this point, those who were present include those of several sects in the Alliance. If Luo Qinghan really shared on what his disciple, Mo Yitian had done, his disciple would be doomed as he would definitely be criticized by all.

“Hmph!”

After guessing the true intentions of Huang Chunqiu, the Sect Leader of the Jihan Sect, Sect Leader Meng could not help but scoff aloud. However, being respectful of their previous relations, Sect Leader Meng did not directly expose Sect Leader Huang but instead spoke to Luo Qinghan. “Luo Qinghan, just share on what you know about the murderer.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Luo Qinghan acknowledged her Sect Leader’s words again. This time, Huang Chunqiu glanced at Sect Leader Meng with a deeply grateful and regretful look before looking at Luo Qinghan again.

Now, those who were present included three mid Divine Transformation adepts from the Alliance. These were the three Deputy Alliance Leaders, and their attention also landed on Luo Qinghan… After all, they were all aware of the matter of Mo Yitian, a disciple of the Tiansong Sect and Sect Leader Huang, who had been murdered.

At this point, their curiosity was aroused as well as to what kind of person the murderer had been.

“I am not familiar with the murderer.”

Luo Qinghan seemed to ignore the heavy glance that Huang Chunqiu had cast upon her and spoke neutrally despite his clear bias. She spoke in a clear and unhurried way, “After he killed Mo Yitian and saved me, he asked me why so many people had appeared on the Guiyao planet.”

After hearing that the person in question had saved Luo Qinghan, Huang Chunqiu furrowed his brows. Wasn’t this implicitly saying that his disciple, Mo Yitian, had had evil intentions against her?

Nevertheless, Luo Qinghan had already spoken, and the words could not be recalled. He could only cast a warning glance in the direction of Luo Qinghan.

Luo Qinghan maintained her steady composure and continued speaking as if she had not seen Huang Chunqiu’s change in expression. “I told him the reason. Afterward, he wanted to help me kill beasts in the hunt to accumulate more points. However, I rejected his proposal.

“Seeing as I had rejected him, he did not leave but instead insisted on following me.”

At this point, many people nodded to themselves secretly.

Seeing as Luo Qinghan was an immense beauty, for many males, if they had saved such a girl, they would not have let her go so easily.

After all, as heroes, it would be easier for them to curry favor with her.

“I directly asked him if he had any romantic interest for me, and he admitted that he was interested in me. Afterward, I told him that I was already engaged.

Luo Qinghan ended her story calmly by saying. “He felt awkward and left afterward.”

“That’s it?”

Huang Chunqiu furrowed his brows.

“That’s all.”

“Did he remove his mask? Did he reveal his identity?”

“Before he could share further on himself, I had already rejected him.”

Towards Luo Qinghan’s response, Huang Chunqiu was rendered speechless as he could not find any fault with it.

However, he could still question Luo Qinghan further on why she had not stopped the murderer and asked for him to reveal his face or his identity before letting him leave.

One had to know that in this entire matter, Luo Qinghan had been the primary victim after all.

“Sect Leader Huang.”

At this point, Sect Leader Meng, who had asked for Luo Qinghan to speak, glanced at Huang Chunqiu. “With what Luo Qinghan had shared, this mysterious figure should probably still be on the Guiyao planet.

“I think… You can make use of the fact that the Alliance Hunt is still ongoing to pay the planet a visit. Perhaps you would be able to find him.

“Seeing as there are many disciples of the other sects still around on the Guiyao planet, it would be hard for him to disappear… However, once the Alliance Hunt ends, without the presence of others who will be able to help you surround the planet, it will be harder to catch him.”

At this point, Meng Yuping’s gaze had become more intense as well.

Hearing this, Huang Chunqiu’s face changed. Other than leaving behind a group of Dharma stage disciples, he brought a few of the high-level disciples of the Tiansong Sect and flew hurriedly into the skies towards the Guiyao planet and prepared to enter.

“Elder Qingshan, Elder Ti Luo, and I will explore the Guiyao planet to see if we can help the sect to identify this mysterious man… You can stay here!”

Among the three of the mid Divine Transformation elders, one spoke up.

He then left with the remaining elder towards the Guiyao planet at the speed of lightning that far surpassed that of Huang Chunqiu’s group.

Where the people of the Thunder Sword Sect were, He Mengxi whispered quietly under her breath to Zhou Donghuang. “Those two elders must have entered the Guiyao planet for reasons other than helping out the people of the Tiansong Sect… They must fear that if they find who they are looking for, they will kill him.

“If the person were to be of significant status and were to die here, it would not only cause trouble for the Tiansong Sect but also for the Alliance!

“As Deputy Alliance Leaders, they would not allow that to happen.

“The honor of the sects in the Alliance is shared and linked. If the Tiansong Sect were to be doomed, other sects, including our Thunder Sword Sect, would follow suit and be troubled as well.”

He Mengxi’s words were indeed valid and hit the nail on the head.

Zhou Donghuang nodded. However, his gaze landed on Luo Qinghan, and this gaze was one of extreme bafflement… Luo Qinghan had not handled the situation and Huang Chunqiu the way that he had expected her to.

According to his predictions, Luo Qinghan could have said that Zhuge Haotian had followed her insistently and helped her kill beasts along the way, allowing her to gain many extra points in this Alliance Hunt.

As for those points, they would still be useful for her even though she had received help.

As long as the external helper was below the Divine Transformation stage, aid rendered did not flout the rules of the Alliance Hunt.

Furthermore, no one could ascertain whether the beasts were injured by an external party but still ultimately killed at the hands of Luo Qinghan.

This would be very hard to verify.

Because of this, no one would object to extra points being allocated to Luo Qinghan.

However, he had not expected for Luo Qinghan to change her story when facing Huang Chunqiu. “I can’t believe this… surely she is not planning to give up this opportunity to be one of the top scorers of the Alliance Hunt?”

Zhou Donghuang was clear that since Luo Qinghan had spoken those words, it would no longer be convenient for her to present the brains of the beasts that he had helped her kill. This was because the sheer amount of it would be suspicious, and there would definitely be dissenters who suspected the true identity of the person who had helped her.

In that case, her story would then be nitpicked and questioned as well.

Similarly, because of this, Zhou Donghuang had taught Luo Qinghan to mention that person’s name in front of Huang Chunqiu, and highlight that the person in question was from the big Zhuge family from another galaxy. Furthermore, he taught her to say that the family had other Immortal adepts… The Zhuge family that he was talking about was actually real and was the family of his biological mother, Zhuge Jing, and there were indeed Immortals within the family.

If Luo Qinghan mentioned this, other than the Tiansong Sect Leader, even the three mid Divine Transformation adepts who were in charge of this year’s Alliance Hunt would not dare to try and visit the Guiyao planet to hunt such a significant person down.

“What a stubborn girl… Could it be that she feels like she would owe me a favor if she used the beasts that I killed to accumulate points for herself? Furthermore, would she not be willing to owe me anything?”

At this point, thinking about this matter, Zhou Donghuang felt frustrated.

Zhou Donghuang glanced at Luo Qinghan, and Luo Qinghan naturally could sense this. However, she merely glanced quickly back at Zhou Donghuang before looking away, and she sighed internally to herself in her heart, “What a pity that it wasn’t you…”
