Chapter 724: The disappearance of Hu Yanheng
Actually, he said this out of helplessness.
It was indeed a coincidence that he entered this place, and he did not participate in anything.
But if he told the truth, it would inevitably be related to the mysterious woman.
The mysterious woman did such an outrageous act in Lingzhou, and she even sought to obtain the origin of destiny and kill Wan Bujiu.
In view of this, how could he dare to have any relationship with the mysterious woman, and it was too late to clear himself!
Duan Qing's words obviously did not satisfy Shui Daozi.
He looked Duan Qing up and down, and continued to ask: "Do you know those people?"
Duan Qing recalled a little: "Junior only knows Wan Buliu and Wan Bujiu, and Heishi. I have never seen the others."
"You know Heishi?" Shui Daozi was a little surprised.
"That's right. At that time, junior and your sect's fellow Daoist Lin Ziyu had seen Heishi in the Ten Li Ghost Forest in Yuezhou." Duan Qing did not hide anything about the things that Shui Daozi could easily trace.
Lin Ziyu knew the conflict between him and Heishi the most. Now that Heishi had somehow taken refuge with the mysterious woman, it would be easier to clear up the relationship between him and the mysterious woman.
After hearing what Duan Qing said, Shui Daozi didn't ask much. Anyway, he could go to Lin Ziyu to verify.
Then, Shui Daozi asked again: "You are an outsider who broke into this place, why didn't they kill you?"
Duan Qing pretended to be at a loss and shook his head.
The reason why he was able to live until now was that the mysterious woman deliberately spared his life.
But he didn't dare to say it.
Once he said it, Shui Daozi would probably take him down immediately and question whether he was in cahoots with the mysterious woman.
After thinking for a moment, Duan Qing tried to say: "Maybe, those people are too disdainful to kill the younger generation!"
When he said this, Duan Qing was extremely uneasy.
His words were to wake up Shui Daozi. Since the mysterious woman was willing to let you, Shui Daozi, go, she would naturally let him go.
But he was worried that his words would make Shui Daozi feel uncomfortable.
After all, this was definitely not a glorious thing for Shui Daozi.
Duan Qing's words really made Shui Daozi look a little lonely.
Yes, with that man's character, he really disdains to attack this kid!
He sighed and said, "Tell me what happened after you came to Tuling Peak!"
Duan Qing did not hesitate and narrated everything about what happened after he came to Tuling Peak to Shui Daozi.
Hearing that the Five Elements Sect's garrison disciples were almost killed or injured, Shui Daozi sighed again and did not speak for a long time.
After a long silence, Shui Daozi said to Duan Qing, "Today's matter is of great importance. I hope you don't spread it casually!"
"Junior dares to swear by my name that I will never reveal a single bit of today's matter to outsiders. If I break this oath, heaven and earth will punish me together!" Duan Qing decisively swore in front of Shui Daozi.
If he did not say it firmly and make his attitude clear, I am afraid that even if Shui Daozi dispelled his suspicion of him, he would not let him go so easily for the sake of confidentiality.
Shui Daozi nodded with satisfaction: "The boy is teachable!"
After that, Shui Daozi walked to Wan Bujiu's body, put away Wan Bujiu's body and relics, and said to Duan Qing: "You take care of yourself!"
As soon as the voice fell, Shui Daozi walked out of the underground palace without hesitation.
Duan Qing didn't want to stay any longer, so he followed Shui Daozi and walked out of the palace.
In fact, Duan Qing wanted to go through the cave above his head and return from the magma pool to find Hu Yanheng.
Anyway, the magma is estimated to have leaked out, and the magma pool is not dangerous.
But he said in front of Shui Daozi before that he was unconscious before falling into this place, and he didn't know which hole he fell in from.
If he chose a hole to leave directly at this time, wouldn't it be contrary to his previous words!
Why wouldn't a normal person choose the main gate when leaving, but go through a cave that he is not sure about?
This will inevitably arouse Shui Daozi's suspicion.
That's why he chose to go with Shui Daozi.
Shui Daozi glanced at Duan Qing from the corner of his eyes, his face gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.
To be honest, he didn't believe Duan Qing's words completely.
He deliberately left first to test Duan Qing.
After all, Duan Qing, such a junior, appeared here so abruptly and survived in the end.
In any case, there are many suspicious points.
But the problem is that Duan Qing's cultivation is too low, and he probably can't intervene in the matter.
Considering that Duan Qing is a disciple of Mu Yu, he will not do anything to Duan Qing if he only has a little suspicion of Duan Qing without any evidence.
The Five Elements Sect suffered such a blow, and now more than ever, it needs the support of the Shinto Sect, rather than offending the law enforcement elder Mu Yu of the Shinto Sect.
...
Following Shui Daozi, Duan Qing quickly passed through the spiritual mine area and returned to the intricate caves in the Tuling Peak.
Duan Qing thought about Hu Yanheng's safety, caught up with Shui Daozi, explained to Shui Daozi, and then separated from Shui Daozi to look for Hu Yanheng.
Lin Ziyu and others were obviously rescued by Shui Daozi, so he didn't need to worry.
Duan Qing spent a lot of effort to return to the cross passage where Hu Yanheng was put down according to his memory.
However, at this time, there was no trace of Hu Yanheng on the ground.
Looking at the scattered bloodstains on the ground, Duan Qing was sure that he was definitely not in the wrong place.
Did Hu Yanheng wake up and leave by himself?
Or did something else happen?
I hope he woke up by himself!
Duan Qing comforted himself like this, and followed the road to the communication stone chamber where Lin Ziyu and others were.
When Duan Qing arrived at the communication stone chamber, Shui Daozi had already rescued Lin Ziyu and others and was asking something.
Seeing Duan Qing appear, Lin Ziyu's eyes immediately turned red, and he excitedly said: "Brother Duan!"
After that, he took two steps at a time and walked to Duan Qing, looking at Duan Qing with surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Lin!" Duan Qing smiled and greeted Lin Ziyu, and then looked at Luo Renjie and others seemingly casually.
To be honest, if he said that he didn't hate these people in his heart, he would definitely be lying.
If these people hadn't refused to open the stone chamber, how could he have suffered these crimes for nothing and almost lost his life.
Even if he survived by chance now, he was still in trouble and was suspected by Shui Daozi.
What's more hateful is that Hu Yanheng was seriously injured because of this, and now he can't be found.
Noticing Duan Qing's eyes, Luo Renjie, who was being questioned by Shui Daozi, couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling a little guilty.
Wu Fang, who was standing beside him, was just like Luo Renjie, feeling guilty and didn't dare to look at Duan Qing.
However, Zhaixing and Yuan Wuwu looked normal, without any sense of guilt.
There was already a long-standing grudge between the two and Duan Qing, so they didn't feel any burden at all to take advantage of Duan Qing at a critical moment.
If there was anything to say, it was just a pity that Duan Qing was not killed by the black-robed man before.
