Chapter 991: Scheming against each other
Hearing Baili He's words, Duan Qing's heart suddenly beat wildly.
A Shinto disciple!
When did he tell Baili He that he was a Shinto disciple?
Not only did he not say it, but he had not even revealed his cultivation method or any characteristics of the Shinto sect since he met Baili He.
How did Baili He know that he was a Shinto disciple!
At this moment, countless possibilities flashed through Duan Qing's mind.
In just a moment, he came to a conclusion.
Although he didn't know exactly how Baili He knew his identity as a Shinto disciple, he was sure of one thing.
Baili He wanted to kill him!
The premise that he pretended to be confused in front of Baili He and intended to get away with it temporarily was that Baili He didn't know his identity as a Shinto disciple.
Because he knew very well that when he killed Baili Guanri, Baili He recognized his Suzaku Transformation method and confirmed his identity as a Shinto disciple.
But at that time, Baili He didn't see his true appearance and didn't know his specific identity.
That is to say, in Baili He's opinion, he only knew that the person who killed his grandson was a Shinto disciple who practiced the Suzaku Transformation.
And from the situation when he met Baili He in the Sixty-Four Realms before, Baili He did not show any abnormality, which means that in the past ten years, Baili He did not find out his true identity, or he could not identify him.
Otherwise, if he met the enemy who killed his beloved grandson face to face, even if Meng Zhuang was present, he would not have no reaction at all.
At least at that time, he did not feel that Baili He had any killing intention towards him, and he did not even receive any extra attention from Baili He.
It was based on this that he pretended to be confused and negotiated with Baili He before.
However, when he met Baili He again in the Thirty-Second Realm, he did not hesitate to attack him.
This can certainly be explained by Baili He's greed for money, and he originally thought so.
But Baili He's words just now revealed a flaw.
Since Baili He knew his identity as a Shinto disciple, it was impossible for him to negotiate with him in such a calm state of mind, and even be willing to accept his conditions in the end.
Because in Baili He's eyes, anyone who is a Shinto disciple is a suspect of killing his grandson.
The most important thing is that Baili He has seen him with Meng Zhuang.
Baili He knows his identity as a Shinto disciple, or has seen him with Meng Zhuang. These two things alone are nothing.
The former can only make Baili He suspicious of him, but there are so many Shinto disciples that it is impossible for him to determine that he killed Baili Guanri just by being a Shinto disciple.
As for the latter, it is even more insignificant.
However, putting these two things together will cause a big problem.
There are very few people who practice Suzaku Transformation in the Shinto Sect. If Baili He wants to track down the murderer, he will definitely target those who practice Suzaku Transformation in the sect.
And because of his battle with the eldest brother ten years ago and his competition with Yang Huang seven years ago, he has become famous in recent years and has the title of the second young generation in the Shinto Sect.
And the technique he practices is Suzaku Transformation, which everyone in the sect knows.
Considering these, he would never believe that Baili He had not paid attention to him.
He even had reason to believe that Baili He had not only paid attention to him, but might also list him as the number one suspect in the murder of Baili Guanri.
Judging from the previous situation, although Baili He had paid attention to him, he should not know what he looked like.
In addition, what happened at the Fairy Dragon Conference may be out of reach for most cultivators in the Middle Earth, and it is a legend based on wind and shadow.
But as an elder of the Taisheng Sect, Baili He must have a channel to know.
Since Baili He had paid attention to him, he must have heard about his encounter with Meng Zhuang on the Fairy Dragon Island.
On Tianming Star, how many younger generations of the Shinto Sect were on good terms with Meng Zhuang?
Therefore, he believed that as long as Baili He was not stupid, he would definitely infer that he was Duan Qing of the Shinto Sect, given that he knew he was a disciple of the Shinto Sect and had seen him and Meng Zhuang together.
Knowing that he was Duan Qing from the Shinto Sect, how could Baili He let him go when facing him, the number one suspect in killing Baili Guanri!
However, Baili He really compromised and was willing to accept his conditions and let him go!
This was obviously unreasonable.
With Duan Qing's intelligence, if he still couldn't see the trick, he would have lived in vain for so many years.
Baili He was probably the same as him, pretending to be confused while knowing the truth, just looking for an opportunity to kill him!
After thinking this through, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a little scared.
It was a close call, he almost fell into the trap of this old thing.
This old thing is quite scheming!
He turned his head and glanced at Baili He calmly, and immediately had a plan in his mind.
At this time, Baili He saw that Duan Qing didn't speak, thinking that Duan Qing acquiesced to his statement, and began to swear to Duan Qing through voice transmission.
While swearing, he sneered in his heart.
His oath only said that he would not embarrass Duan Qing, but he didn't say that other people in his Taisheng Sect would not embarrass Duan Qing.
After swearing, Baili He sent a voice message to Duan Qing: "My friend, I have sworn, and it is your turn to keep my promise!"
Duan Qing decisively slowed down, stopped in the air, turned around and waited for Baili He, and said with a smile: "It is rare that Senior Baili trusts me so much, how can I live up to Senior Baili's trust, I will personally present this treasure to you."
As he said, he raised his hand with a smile and handed the ink-colored jade slip in his hand to Baili He.
Baili He was overjoyed to see Duan Qing stop.
To be honest, even if Duan Qing didn't stop, he would still find an excuse to let Duan Qing stay.
Baili He didn't doubt him, pretending to be overjoyed, glanced at Xiong Canghai and the other two who were catching up quickly dozens of miles behind, then flew to Duan Qing, and with a kind face, stretched out his hand to take the ink-colored jade slip in Duan Qing's hand.
At this moment, Baili He felt a sharp pain in his soul, his head was dizzy, and his outstretched hand suddenly froze, and his eyes became dull.
At the moment when Baili He was in trouble, Duan Qing's other empty hand decisively pinched a sword finger and pointed it at Baili He's lower abdomen.
At the same time, an invisible virtual sword also slashed at Baili He's neck with lightning speed.
Duan Qing's eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Baili He had recognized his identity, and it was a situation of life and death, without any room for tact.
Since you, Baili He, want to use the same trick against me, Duan, then I, Duan, will also use the same trick against you!
At this moment, he used both Wushuang Ban and Xuling Sword, determined to kill Baili He.
Before Baili He could break free from the control of the Illusion Butterfly, Duan Qing's left hand touched Baili He's lower abdomen.
Almost at the same time, Xuling Sword also fell on Baili He's neck.
There was a sound like a rag being torn, and Baili He's body was separated in an instant.
