C2426 Unexplained

When these words were spoken, the entire scene instantly became silent. All the eyes of the Medicine Valley's disciples were fixated on Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran. There was even a hint of suspicion and wariness in their eyes, as if they would attack if they were not careful.

This was because all the disciples of the Medicine Valley knew clearly, everything was just as Xin Chu had said. Although there was earth fire under the mountain, but after so many years, after the people from the Medicine Valley suppressed the fire, there had never been a change in the mountain.

But now that Lin Bai and Jiang Wanli had arrived at Medicine Valley, such a huge change had happened at Dingshan. Even the Valley Master, Guiyang, had died in Dingshan. This must have made them suspect Lin Bai and Jiang Haoran as outsiders.

Moreover, these two people were opposing each other, as they sought the support of the Medicine Valley for their side. No one could be sure if it was one of the two that wanted to sow discord between the two of them, allowing the Medicine God Valley to stand on their side. That was the reason why they had such evil intentions and did such an unredeemable evil deed.

"I did not leave the guest room last night and instead invited Dao Friend Du Ruwu to sit down and chat about some difficult cultivation problems. If you don't believe me, Fellow Daoist Du Ruoruo is here to testify for me! " After hearing these words, Jiang Haoran directly spoke without thinking. He didn't even make a sound. He spoke as if he was sure of the truth.

Xin Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Du Ruo, is everything as he said?"

The moment he said this, the people from the Medicine Valley immediately turned their gazes to Du Ruo, who was standing to one side. No one noticed, however, that right after Xin Yi spoke, a complex expression suddenly flickered in Du Ruo's lowered head.

He knew better than anyone what had happened last night. Last night, other than Jiang Haoran, who went to visit Guiyang late at night, no one else had entered Dingshan. If it was any other time, he would have brought out this situation, but the one who made things difficult for him was precisely him, Du Ruoran, who brought Jiang Haoran into Dingshan last night.

If Guiyang didn't die, he could still explain that this was Guiyang's arrangement and that he was only following his orders. But now that Gui Yang was dead, he couldn't say a hundred words. Moreover, everyone in the Medicine Valley knew that the competition for the position of Medicine King Valley's Valley Master between him and Kuang Chang Geng had already reached a peak state, and even the two of them could not tolerate each other anymore.

However, although the competition between the two was intense, it was still the position of the Medicine Valley's Valley Master, Guiyang. As long as Guiyang lived for one more day, he, Du Ruoruo, would have no qualifications whatsoever to scheme for this position. But right now, at this critical juncture, Guiyang had died. If he told everyone what happened last night, perhaps everyone would suspect that he, Du Ruoran, was trying to climb the mountain as soon as possible in order to obtain the position of Valley Master. That was why he joined hands with an outsider, Jiang Haoran, to kill Guiyang and achieve his long-cherished wish.

And when that happened, Quang Changgeng would surely raise his arms and shout, borrowing the topic to unleash his killing intent at him. So, although he wanted to tell the secret, he could not say it. He did not dare to say it because once he did, there was only death.

But if he didn't say it, he didn't know how to explain it to the people from the Medicine Valley. No matter what, Guiyang was once the Sect Master of the Medicine Valley. Gui Yang had died without any reason. If he did not even have a sliver of vengeance in his heart, it would be absolutely impossible.

Just as his thoughts changed, he suddenly felt a gaze that seemed to be looking at him. With a change in his thoughts, he followed Jiang Haoran's gaze and saw that Jiang Haoran was looking at him with a calm expression, his gaze full of warning.

Looking at Jiang Haoran's gaze, he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Jiang Haoran when he led the group to the guest room. According to what Jiang Haoran said, after he finished talking with Guiyang, he left immediately. At least, before he left, Guiyang's expression was normal. There was nothing wrong with him. He definitely didn't seem to want to die.

Furthermore, after knowing the news of Guiyang's sudden death, Jiang Haoran even directly gave him benefits and told him that if he disregarded everything and directly told him what happened last night, no matter if it was Jiang Haoran himself or himself, he would not be able to escape death.

Of course, what he remembered the most was not the benefits Jiang Haoran had said, but his final words.

"Guiyang is dead, this is a huge loss to Pill King Valley, but to you, Du Ruo, this is an absolutely rare opportunity. Once Gui Yang died, no one would be able to stop you from reaching the position of Valley Master. "As long as you're willing to forget what happened last night, our Spirit Spring Sect will spare no effort to help you rise to the top, and even send you off with a great fortune!"

Speaking of good fortune, he once again recalled the command medallion that Jiang Haoran had taken out, as well as the strange aura that the command medallion was emitting, as well as the meaning that this command medallion represented. He knew very well that compared to the position of the Medicine Valley's Valley Master, the good fortune that Jiang Haoran had taken out was more worth being tempted by. If he missed it, he would not have another chance.

As long as he concealed the past, it would be the Valley Master and fortune. Once it was revealed, only death awaited him. The choice didn't seem difficult at all.

Fortunately, Guiyang didn't gather anyone last night to hide the news, and only asked Du Ruoruo to go to the cave residence by herself, after sparing many guards. If Du Ruyang had the intention to conceal it, no one else would have been able to find any traces of falsehood.

"Du Ruo, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Is what you said last night true? " Seeing that Du Ruo had remained silent, Xin Yi frowned and reprimanded her in a low voice, word for word.

"I... "I …" When Du Ruo heard this, she acted as if she had just woken up from a dream. She thought about how she had been silent for a long time and had really lost her composure. It inevitably made people suspicious.

"Elder Xinyi, please don't force our fellow Daoist Du Ruyan. With the great kindness that the Guiyang Valley Master has shown you, our Valley Master's death has caused him great heartache. Naturally, he would lose his composure …" When Jiang Haoran heard this, he spoke softly. Although his words seemed to be an excuse for Du Ruoran's loss of manners, but when they entered Du Ruoran's ears, wasn't it also a warning to him as well?

"That's right, Valley Master left too hastily. I swear, I will definitely find the culprit and avenge Valley Master!" When Du Ruo heard this, she made up her mind. She hypocritically wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, then replied solemnly, "Everything is as Fellow Daoist Jiang said. He is indeed with me last night. I will take my leave after the change in Dingshan."

The moment his voice fell, low sighs sounded in the field. Many people looked at Du Ruo with even more sympathy. In the past, Du Ruoruo sought the position of Valley Master, but now that Guiyang had died, he was so heartbroken that he was even crying. This showed that his inner heart was not as cold as it seemed.

"Don't worry, the Medicine Valley's gate is already locked and no one can escape. We will definitely be able to find the culprit and give the valley master an explanation, and at that time, you will have the chance to kill your enemy!" Upon seeing this, Xin Yi softly sighed. After which, his gaze slowly turned towards Lin Bai as he said in a deep voice, "Dao Friend Lin, Dao Friend Jiang has already told me about what happened to him last night. Furthermore, there is a witness. How are you going to explain this?"

The moment he said this, the gazes of everyone present immediately fell on Lin Bai. Jiang Haoran had evidence from Du Ruoran, so he naturally didn't have the chance to kill Gui Yang. If Jiang Haoran didn't have the chance to kill someone, then that outsider, Lin Bai, naturally had the greatest chance of becoming the main culprit. It all depended on whether or not he could explain himself.

"I, I really don't know what to say …" However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Lin Bai did not give any explanation of what had happened last night as everyone had expected. Instead, his face flickered as he vaguely explained.

As soon as he said this, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone turned to look at Lin Bai with hostile expressions, as if the moment Xin Yi gave the order, they would attack Lin Bai's group.

Not only the people from Medicine God Valley, even Jiang Haoran and Du Ruoran were full of suspicion. They really never thought that Lin Bai would lie at this crucial moment. If that happened, wouldn't he have a chance to kill someone? Could it be that the person who made a move on Guiyang last night and triggered the change was really Lin Bai?

"What do you mean?" When Xin Yi heard this, his brows immediately furrowed. He stared intently at Lin Bai and said in a low voice, "Dao Friend Lin, what is the meaning of this? Do you not wish to explain to my Medicine God Valley, or are you telling us that the person who killed them last night was you?"

"I cannot explain what I was doing last night, but I can confirm that I did not leave my room last night. Moreover, I absolutely did not do anything to the leader of the Guiyang Valley. There is no possibility of killing anyone." When Lin Bai heard this, he slowly waved his hand. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he continued, "I hope that Elder Xin Yi will not pursue the matter any further. I will not say anything else …"

"You don't want to say?" When Xin Yi heard this, he immediately laughed coldly. He looked at Lin Bai with incomparably cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "Since you are unwilling to say, then can we believe that you killed the Valley Master and caused this calamity? Dao Friend Lin, I advise you to think this through and not treat this matter as child's play. Otherwise, don't blame my Pill King Valley for being ruthless! "

"You with the surname Lin, speak clearly!" What were you doing last night? If you don't explain it clearly, you can forget about doing good. " And at this moment, Du Ruoruo felt that she finally found an opportunity. She stepped forward and reprimanded Lin Bai in a hateful manner.

"Fellow Lin, the Medicine Valley is very big, although my Spirit Spring Martial School is not willing to be your enemy here, if you do not give us a reasonable explanation, then don't blame my Spirit Spring Martial School for not respecting our manners!" Not only him, Jiang Haoran also said in a neutral tone.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the arena had become tense. Everyone stared at Lin Bai like a tiger eyeing its prey, like a pack of hungry wolves. As long as Lin Bai did not give a reasonable explanation, they would attack him together.
