Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

When the guard in Huo Jin’s hand pointed his finger to Bai Li Hong and accused him of killing Huo Qiu, everyone present on the scene, Huo Jin, shifted their eyes to Bai Li Hong.

“He killed Huo Qiu?”

“That’s impossible, right?! As far as I know, Bai Li Hong’s merely an Early Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Moreover, he has only broken through three months ago. Let alone that it’s impossible for him to break through to the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage in this period of time, even if he did, he still wouldn’t be a match for Huo Qiu.”

“That’s right. Huo Qi had broken through to the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage a few years ago, and he was approaching the Mastery Pristine Saint Stage… I don’t know if all of you believe Bai Li Hong killed Huo Qiu, but I certainly don’t.”

“This is unreasonable… Put aside the fact that Bai Li Hong doesn’t have the capability to kill Huo Qiu, even if he does, he has been forced to consume the Origin Sealing Pill periodically when he was locked up. It’s impossible for him to even mobilize the True Origin in his body, let alone killing Huo Qiu.”

“Origin Sealing Pill? Do you think if he really did consume the Origin Sealing Pill, he would still be able to swagger his way out?”

The group of powerhouses who were at the Pristine Saint Stage whispered to one another. Just like Huo Qiu, they were ordinary revered elders of the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family.

Although they were all ordinary revered elders, none of them dared to look for trouble with Huo Qiu usually. The reason for this was due to Huo Jin’s biological nephew, Huo Qiu!

Although there were a few Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in the Windfall Nation’s imperial family, they would usually stay away from conflicts and did not meddle in worldly affairs. Due to this reason, common matters were usually all handled by the revered elders.

As the strongest person below the Refined Saint Stage powerhouse in Windfall Nation, Huo Jin, naturally, became the leader of other the revered elders. After all, this world placed the utmost importance in strength. The strongest one, naturally, would obtain authority.

Huo Jin looked at Bai Li Hong with a piercing and cold gaze.

However, he only glanced at the guard in his grasp before he said in a deep voice, “What’s going on? Tell me everything! Don’t miss out a single detail!”

Upon hearing that, the guard took a deep breath and recounted everything he knew in a trembling voice.

When Huo Jin heard Bai Li Hong had just taken the Origin Sealing Pill three days ago, even he was shocked, let alone the other revered elders of the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family.

Bai Li Hong who had just consumed the Origin Sealing Pill three days ago had suddenly appeared before them filled with vigor and vitality. Based on the way Bai Li Hong made his move, he did not seem like someone whose True Origin was sealed by the medicinal efficacy of the Origin Sealing Pill.

“Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!” At this moment, Huo Jin had also realized that someone must have helped Bai Li Hong removed the Origin Sealing Pill’s effect in his body. Only a powerhouse who was above the Refined Saint Stage would be able to get rid of the Origin Sealing Pill’s effect in Bai Li Hong’s body. Other than this, he could not think of any other plausible reason.

Although the Origin Sealing Pill that Bai Li Hong consumed was of the lowest grade, the Origin Sealing Pill could even seal the True Origin of a cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, let alone an Early Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator like Bai Li Hong.

When an Early Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator consumed the lowest grade Origin Sealing Pill, it would take him at least twenty days before the effect would gradually fade away.

Although an Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator would not take this long, it would still take half a month.

Due to this reason, it was not that Huo Jin did not think it was completely impossible for Bai Li Hong to breakthrough to the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage, it was just that it was completely impossible for him to be free of the effects of the Origin Sealing Pill when he had just taken it three days ago.

Moreover, apart from the fact that the Origin Sealing Pill’s effect in Bai Li Hong’s body had been dispelled, his biological nephew, Huo Qiu had been killed as well.

If there was really a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse who helped remove the effect in Bai Li Hong’s body, then it was not impossible for him to kill his nephew as well.

The moment Huo Jin thought about this, he quickly looked left and right as an expression of dread appeared on his face.

What a joke!

That person was a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse! If he wanted to kill Huo Jin it would be as easy as killing an ant.

At this moment, a thought that did not occur to him earlier suddenly appeared in his mind.

Why was Bai Li Hong so bold that he even dared to walk openly in the palace in such an ostentatious manner?

If he was in Bai Li Hong’s shoes, he would have left this troublesome place immediately if he did not have any backing. Otherwise, why would he be so bold as to openly walked out in an ostentatious manner? Wasn’t this just like seeking death?

When Huo Jin realized this, he gasped as cold sweat began to run down his back.

At this moment, he had even forgotten the fact that his biological nephew had been killed. He could barely take care of himself now, how could he be worried about other people?

The moment he thought there might be a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse lurking in the dark staring at him, he could not help but feel uneasy.

After listening to the guard’s words, if Huo Jin could come to this conclusion, so could the other revered elders.

Similar to Huo Jin, they began to look around their surroundings with an expression of anxiousness.

Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!

It would be easy for someone at that stage to kill Huo Jin, let alone them who were weaker than Huo Jin.

In the end, one of the revered elders of the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family, breaking the silence, whispered in a low voice, “Erm… Could it be that the Refined Saint Stage powerhouse is actually Zi Yun, the Sect Leaser of Drift Blaze Sect?”

“Impossible, right? That Sect Leader Zi Yun has just been severely injured by Master Yun, and I’m sure her injury has not recovered yet. How could she possibly come to the Imperial Palace again? Besides, Master Yun has also said he would not mind killing her if she dares to come again!”

“Exactly! Unless she’s not afraid of death, she wouldn’t dare to come again!”

“However, if it’s not Sect Leader Zi Yun, who’s the one who removed the Origin Sealing Pill’s effect in Bai Li Hong’s body? There are not many Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in our Windfall Nation. The only one who has a connection to Bai Li Hong is Sect Leader Zi Yun.”

“I can’t think of any other person as well.”

The group of revered elders from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family whispered among themselves. Although their voices were not loud, it was all heard by Bai Li Hong. He was stunned when he heard their words.

He just remembered something. The Origin Sealing Pill’s effect in his body had been removed.

Although he had only heard of the Origin Sealing Pill, he knew how difficult it was to remove the effect.

Moreover, a sixth-grade force like the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family might have a higher grade Origin Sealing Pill, but the Origin Sealing Pill that was used on him was definitely not a high grade one since the lowest Origin Sealing Pill was already enough to seal the True Origin in his body.

However, even this lowest grade Origin Sealing Pill would need a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse or above to remove it.

‘Don’t tell me there’s someone else helping Junior Brother?’ Bai Li Hong thought to himself.

Although he was surprised Duan Ling Tian was able to kill that Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, he was not extremely surprised as well since he knew how high his junior brother’s innate talent was.

Perhaps, it would be difficult for most people to make such a progress in the span of more than a year, his junior brother defied logic. Even then, he did not dare to imagine Duan Ling Tian had already broken through to the Refined Saint Stage.

Due to this reason, he felt Duan Ling Tian had brought help with him.

Actually, long before his junior brother asked him to walk out openly and ostentatiously, he already felt suspicious in his heart. Now that he heard the words of the revered elders, he was certain of his suspicion.

‘I wonder if the helper Junior Brother brought is comparable to Master Yun,’ Bai Li Hong thought to himself.

Master Yun was the powerhouse that was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. The Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family regarded him as an honored guest. Recently, he had been staying in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Palace and even regarded it as his own house.

Naturally, Bai Li Hong knew the reason why he remained so long in the Windfall Nation. It was obviously to wait for the return of his junior brother so he could snatch the Devilseal Tablet away from him.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, the sound of sword whistling in the air appeared as quickly as it disappeared. It took everyone, including Bai Li Hong, by surprise.

As the crowd shifted their eyes over, they noticed one of the revered elders from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family was running away. However, before he could even get far, his body came to halt as a bloody hole appeared in the space between his brows.

The crowd gasped all at once!

“How fast!” Among the people present on the scene, only Huo Jin alone could vaguely see the golden sword ray that disappeared as soon as it appeared. The sword ray was so fast that it made him shudder even though it was not cold. This power was definitely higher than the Pristine Saint Stage.

Refined Saint Stage powerhouse!

At this moment, Huo Jin was certain of the suspicion he had in his heart.

Meanwhile, the other revered elders of Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family stood gazing at each other, but nobody dared to make a move. Each of their feet seemed to have been glued to the ground.

Since they had already seen this example, naturally, they did not want to share the same fate as the other person.

“Lord, I wonder what relationship you have with Bai Li Hong?” Taking a deep breath, Huo Jin cupped his hands in front of his chest toward the air, and his tone was polite. Although he was asking a question, his tone was extremely humble.

“Was it you who brought Bai Li Hong into this shitty Windfall Nation’s Imperial Palace?” Just as Huo Jin finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice seemed to resonate from every direction and clearly entered the ears of Huo Jin and the others. It caused horror to dawn on Huo Jin.

The other revered elders from Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family could not help but glance at Huo Jin. A hint of pity could be seen in their eyes.

From the tone of that powerhouse lurking in the dark, it was obvious he was unhappy with Huo Jin’s action.

“Lord, I only carried out the order of the Imperial Highness of the Windfall Nation,” Huo Jin quickly explained when he heard the displeasure in the powerhouse’s voice. At this moment, all he could do was buy some time in order to wait for the arrival of the few Refined Saint Stage powerhouses from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family.

Naturally, there was also Master Yun who was powerful and had an extraordinary background.

“Is that important?” The sound resonated again from every direction. The tone of the hoarse voice was indifferent, causing a horrified expression to appear on Huo Jin’s face. Suddenly, True Origin surged out of his body as though he was faced with a great enemy.
