Chapter 2037: Chapter 2033: Sudden Danger Appears

The Elder has encountered an incident, it must be that his time has come.

Before, Tang Zhong could get some information from the Elder.

Because the elder is always sleeping, only those close to death will be like this.

It’s also that the elder gave him such a precious sheepskin scroll, surely knowing he was about to leave.

Ling Xing didn’t speak, quickly went out, heading towards the elder’s room.

Tang Zhong followed behind.

The two of them went out and headed to the elder’s room.

At this moment, the doorway is filled with Dragon-men.

Many Dragon-men were already kneeling on the ground.

No need to look, one would know the elder has left.

Those Dragon-men now kneel with hands clasped, seeming to be in some sort of prayer.

Ling Xing rushed forward.

Tang Zhong followed behind, upon reaching the doorway, Jiang Xiaofan looked over to see the already petrified elder.

Before, when Tang Zhong left, the elder looked a certain way; he looks that way now, lying there motionless.

Is he really dead?

Tang Zhong couldn’t help but feel a bit sad, although he didn’t know the elder for long, the elder said many things to him and entrusted him with a significant task.

This made Tang Zhong particularly fond of him.

At this time, Tang Zhong saw Jing Hong come out, arriving beside the elder, carefully examining his body, then kneeling and performing a ritual.

He then stood up, turned to look at the Dragon-men present, and said: "The elder has departed, he has transformed into a Dragon Stone."

Now, with these words from Jing Hong, many Dragon-men lowered their heads again.

"But I believe the elder wouldn’t die without reason, there must be a cause, I suspect someone killed the elder." Jing Hong spoke, causing a stir.

The faces of those around changed.

Who killed the elder?

Such a heinous act.

At this point, many looked grim.

These Dragon-men escaped from the Dragon Realm.

Each person’s fate was tragic, the elder was their last spiritual leader in this Dragon-men dwelling.

As long as the elder was there, their hearts could be calm, but now the elder has died. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Their hearts were in turmoil.

So now hearing someone say the elder was killed.

All the Dragon-men were furious.

If the elder was indeed murdered, they must find the killer and avenge the elder.

But there were also the rational Dragon-men: "Yet we have no evidence to prove the elder was murdered, perhaps there’s some misunderstanding."

Jing Hong turned to the one who spoke, coldly saying: "What do you mean? You think the elder wasn’t killed by someone else? Then tell me, why did the elder meet a mishap? It’s well known that the elder just presided over justice, proving his health was fine, but now he’s dead, surely he was murdered."

With Jing Hong’s words, the Dragon-men around fell silent.

The ones who thought there was a different issue said nothing.

This is indeed problematic.

Tang Zhong stood with a troubled expression, fearing he was about to be slandered.

Meanwhile, Jing Hong noticed Tang Zhong among the crowd.

Soon their gazes met.

At this moment.

Jing Hong’s mouth curled into a smile.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong knew trouble was coming.

Sure enough, at this time, Jing Hong spoke: "I believe I don’t need to say who killed the elder."

"All the Dragon-men in this tribe treat the elder like a parent, so they definitely wouldn’t kill the elder."

"Thus, the person who murdered the elder must be someone who recently entered our tribe, and that person can only be him." Jing Hong finished speaking, directly pointing at Tang Zhong.

Simultaneously, the surrounding people’s gaze turned, filled with hatred.

Even though there’s no definite evidence showing Tang Zhong as the killer, almost everyone now believes he’s the one.

Even Ling Xing looked at Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong felt the gazes around him, at this moment, he remained silent.

While Jing Hong was smiling there, the effect was indeed satisfying.

He continued: "Tang Zhong, don’t you plan to explain yourself?"

Tang Zhong replied: "I didn’t kill the elder, what is there for me to explain?"

"Can I take that as you being stubborn?" Jing Hong coldly said: "If not you, then who else? Our tribe hasn’t had outsiders for a long time, it’s always been us, the elder was fine until you came."

Others stared at Tang Zhong.

"Additionally, I understand you met the elder before his death, if not you, then who else?" Jing Hong continued questioning.

His words were echoed by others questioning.

"You bastard, you dared act against the elder, despite him wanting you as leader, what makes you qualified?"

"Kill him, he must not leave."

"Is this what is called the Lost Dragon?"

More and more joined in.

Ling Xing stood before Tang Zhong, asking: "Did you do this?"

"If I say no, would you believe me?" Tang Zhong replied.

He didn’t know what to do, even suspecting Jing Hong, he couldn’t say it, he could only watch Jing Hong set the pace, thinking the elder’s death was related to Jing Hong.

The elder might’ve been killed by him.

Still, he could do nothing.

As all the Dragon-men sided with Jing Hong, it’s best to say nothing, or else they’d despise him even more, although he could leave, the elder had just entrusted him the scroll, he couldn’t leave, not wanting to betray the elder’s expectations.

He absolutely couldn’t leave.

Ling Xing heard Tang Zhong, paused, then calmly said: "I believe you."

"It’s enough that you believe me." Tang Zhong replied.

"I think now you must leave." Ling Xing said: "The situation isn’t clear for you, staying might be dangerous, and I can’t help, even as a princess, I lack authority."

Tang Zhong understood Ling Xing’s words, he never expected her help.

"True." Tang Zhong nodded: "But I’m thankful you trust me."

Then he looked at the Dragon-men, now he must prove his innocence, if not, he would fight.
