Dragon King Hall's Legend
Chapter 1925: Produce Evidence? Here’s Your Evidence! Ji Haoran’s Confusion!
"Hm?!"
Seeing that Wei Qiankun actually had such an attitude, not retreating in the slightest, Ji Haoran and the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan couldn’t help but narrow their eyes, killing intent flowing out with them.
"Wei Qiankun, you’d better think this through. Are you really going to oppose our two great Royal clans for the sake of one audacious student?"
"Hand him over immediately and we can let this go. Otherwise, we will never stop pursuing this!"
Ji Haoran and the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan looked coldly at Wei Qiankun, their whole bodies’ Qi erupting, killing intent soaring into the heavens like wolf smoke.
"Cut the crap. If you want a fight, then fight. The very foundation upon which my Dongyue Mansion stands is these students. You came here and immediately accused Dongyue Mansion of having a student who committed a grave crime, demanding I hand him over, yet you didn’t provide a shred of evidence, and still have the nerve to condemn me!"
Wei Qiankun wasn’t buying their act. The longsword in his hand flashed with cold light, ready to strike at any time!
The Patriarch of the Yaao Imperial Clan, seeing that Wei Qiankun was neither yielding to soft words nor hard threats, immediately prepared to attack.
But Ji Haoran heard the deeper meaning behind Wei Qiankun’s earlier words.
Namely, that if they didn’t press him so aggressively, but instead properly told Wei Qiankun the identity of the Academy student who had massacred their Imperial Family Descendants and presented the proof of his crimes, then if Wei Qiankun realized he was in the wrong, he might cease covering up for that student. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Ji Haoran wasn’t afraid of a battle with Wei Qiankun, especially since the two great Royal clans had come together.
But if possible, he didn’t want to fight Wei Qiankun. There was no real meaning in it.
So, Ji Haoran’s eyes flashed. He reached out and stopped the Ji Clan Patriarch who was about to strike, and said softly, "Hold your hand for now."
"Hm? Brother Ji, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing Ji Haoran block him, the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan’s expression changed, his gaze toward Ji Haoran turning cold and unfriendly.
The one who had told him the truth about Yao Feiyang’s death was Ji Haoran, and the one who had invited him to come and settle accounts with Dongyue Mansion together was also him.
Now that he was already about to make a move on Wei Qiankun, Ji Haoran suddenly put on the face of a good person and stopped him. What was that supposed to mean?
Ji Haoran shot the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan a meaningful look, then turned to Wei Qiankun and said in a deep voice, "Master Wei, by what you just said, do you mean that if we lay out the crime your Academy student committed, and present the evidence, you will have him tied up and hand him over to us?"
Wei Qiankun fell silent for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "If it truly is my student who has done wrong, and your two clans’ descendants were killed by him for no reason, then I will naturally seize him and leave him to your disposal!"
Speaking up to here, he paused, then said coldly, "But if it is not my student’s fault, then wanting me to hand over my student is nothing but a fool’s dream!"
"Good!!"
Hearing Wei Qiankun’s words, the smile on Ji Haoran’s face softened a little, then he said, "Master Wei, you still remember that not long ago, your Academy and several of our Royal clans went together to the Tiangan Secret Realm, right?"
"Mn." Hearing Ji Haoran’s words, Wei Qiankun frowned slightly, then gave a soft acknowledgment.
Ji Haoran said slowly, "Then you should also remember that back then, my Ji Clan’s young Heaven’s Pride, Ji Changfei, died within it? And that the Yang Kun Sword he held in his hand went missing?"
By the side, the Patriarch of the Yaao Clan chimed in, "And my Yaao Clan’s young Heaven’s Pride, Yao Feiyang, also died unexpectedly inside."
Wei Qiankun’s brows furrowed even tighter, and he said in a deep voice, "Wasn’t that matter already settled long ago? Those people died by accident to the strange phenomena within the Tiangan Secret Realm, did they not?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Haoran, then swept his gaze over to an elder of the Ji Clan, his expression turning harsh as he barked, "Didn’t you back then see that the students of Dongyue Mansion came out in the greatest numbers and once suspect that it was Dongyue Mansion who did it? But in the end you couldn’t find any evidence. And now you want to play this game again?!"
As those words fell, an overwhelming, terrifying aura surged out like a mountain, like a deep abyss, pressing toward that Ji Clan elder.
It made the elder’s face turn pale, his whole body shaking like a sieve.
"Hmph!"
Ji Haoran let out a cold snort, and his aura also erupted, blocking the torrential pressure Wei Qiankun had forced over!
After that, the terrifying auras from both sides clashed against each other and then gradually flattened and dissipated.
Ji Haoran said softly, "This matter has never been laid to rest. Back then I was not yet back, and they did not have the strength to investigate the true culprit. Now that I have returned, I have already found out the truth. The true killer who slew the descendants of several of our Royal clans is a student of your Dongyue Mansion!"
"Then bring out the evidence, so I can see for myself just who did it!"
Wei Qiankun’s expression did not change as he questioned in a deep voice.
"Alright!"
Ji Haoran agreed in one breath, then began to draw a circle with his right hand. At once, a circular outline appeared and then solidified into a mirror.
"Round Light Mirror?"
Seeing the Techniques Ji Haoran was performing, Wei Qiankun immediately recognized the function of this Technique.
After that, he also recalled that back in Duanchang Gorge, because of the deaths of Yao Feiyang, Ji Changfei, and the others, those clan elders of the Royal clans had also used the Round Light Mirror outside, attempting to peer into who had dared to kill them!
But in the end they had found nothing at all!
Because a strange streak of blood light had shrouded the truth, making it impossible to spy anything.
Later, after they came out, they activated the Yinqian Sword, attempting to summon back the lost Yang Kun Sword and at the same time find the real killer, but they failed.
After that, the Ji Clan wanted to disregard everything and make a move on the students of Dongyue Mansion, but he arrived in time and stopped them from acting recklessly.
In the end, that matter was given a conclusion: Ji Changfei, Yao Feiyang, and the others should have died to the eerie mysteries within the Tiangan Secret Realm.
Now, Ji Haoran was using the Round Light Mirror once again. Could it be he had truly found some new clue?
While Wei Qiankun was silently pondering with an impassive face—
He saw a thin figure faintly appear on the surface of that Round Light Mirror, but before he could see it clearly, that figure suddenly vanished.
Right after, a vivid, ghastly blood light emerged, covering the entire Round Light Mirror, making it impossible to see anything further.
"Hm?"
"This blood light..."
Seeing the blood light on the Round Light Mirror, Wei Qiankun’s expression shifted ever so slightly.
Back then, after he had delivered the students and Institute Heads of Dongyue Mansion to Duanchang Gorge, he had left to handle other matters.
So when Yao Feiyang, Ji Changfei, and the others later died, and those clan elders of the Royal clans used the Round Light Mirror to hunt for the killer only to have the scene blocked by the blood light, he had not witnessed that.
By the time he returned, he had only seen those Royals trying to pressure Dongyue Mansion. After he intervened, they did not dare act rashly, and he took all the students of Dongyue Mansion and left Duanchang Gorge.
Afterward, he learned of this matter, but he had never personally seen this strange blood light on the Round Light Mirror.
Now, seeing that same ghastly blood light appear in the Round Light Mirror Ji Haoran summoned, he also began to ponder inwardly. Could it really be someone from Dongyue Mansion who killed Ji Changfei and Yao Feiyang?
But that doesn’t seem right...
Wei Qiankun felt somewhat puzzled.
This time, Dongyue Mansion had sent a total of thirty Senior Students and seventy Intermediate Students into the Tiangan Secret Realm.
The Intermediate Students were obviously not qualified to kill Heaven’s Prides like Ji Changfei.
And those thirty Senior Students weren’t even the top thirty in Dongyue Mansion’s rankings; they were simply those who had not previously obtained the Life and Death Creation Fluid.
By rights, compared to the Imperial Family Descendants of the Ji and Yaao clans, they should have been a bit weaker.
So how could they possibly have killed people like Ji Changfei...
No, wait?!
At that moment, Wei Qiankun’s heart suddenly stirred as he thought of one person.
Mu Jinyu!
When Mu Jinyu first entered the Tiangan Secret Realm, he was only a newly promoted Intermediate Student and did not look conspicuous at all.
But now, he had already defeated Lu Kaige and the others, becoming the number one student of Dongyue Mansion...
