Chapter 1200 The News of Death Spreads, and the Culprit Is Questioned! (Update 1)
Seeing that the mysterious master of the Sword House was unwilling to show up.
Ye Chen had to give up. After all, if the Emperor Throne Realm powerhouse really wanted to hide, it would be difficult for him to find it with his means.
That night, he returned to the Hu family's resting place. It was less than two days before the Yaochi Festival. More and more people came to Lishan City, most of whom were from the major forces in Zhongzhou.
The next morning, the residence of the Hu family was forcibly opened. The two sides were on the verge of a fight outside the residence, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
Ye Chen woke up from meditation, glanced at Xiao Hei who had been guarding beside him, and frowned, "What's going on?"
Xiao Hei grinned and said, "Master, it is said that the disciple of Lanzhou Wuling Mansion died, and Wuling Mansion came to the Hu family to ask for punishment."
He knew that Ye Chen went out last night, so he subconsciously thought that Yuan Ling and others were killed by Ye Chen.
"Go and see!" Ye Chen frowned and got up and left the room.
…
The place where the Hu family lived was called Fenghua Tower. It seemed that there were countless buildings like this in Lishan City, most of which provided temporary resting places for the forces that came to watch the ceremony.
At this moment, outside Fenghua Tower, a dozen people with gloomy faces blocked the exit of Fenghua Tower. The people of the Hu family were confronting the other party as if they were facing a great enemy.
Such a lineup naturally attracted the attention of various forces. Therefore, many people had already gathered around Fenghua Tower, all of whom were families and sects from all over Zhongzhou.
"It's the people from Lanzhou Wuling Mansion!"
"What? Lanzhou Wuling Mansion? Why did they come here in such a big way to find trouble with the Hu family? You know, the Hu family is also an imperial blood family, and its status is not lower than that of Wuling Mansion."
"Hehe, you probably don't know yet. It is said that the disciples of Wuling Mansion and the people of the Hu family had a conflict in the restaurant yesterday. Unfortunately, those Wuling Mansion disciples disappeared..."
"Missing?!!"
In the tense atmosphere, countless onlookers all talked about it with a joking look on their faces.
Are the two imperial blood forces going to be enemies?
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a gray rainbow light rushed in from the void and finally landed in front of the people of the Hu family.
When the rainbow light dissipated, an old man in a gray robe with gray hair was revealed. The moment he appeared, an invisible pressure swept across the world.
Many people in the Hu family couldn't help but retreat together, showing a painful look on their faces, trying to resist such pressure.
"I am Song Qinglian, the elder of Wuling Mansion, a member of the Hu family. You have half an hour to hand over the murderer Hu Fei!"
The gray-robed old man's sinister and cold eyes swept across the whole place, and then a cold shout rang out: "Otherwise, I don't mind going in and arresting him myself!"
"Boom..."
His shout was like a huge bell, reverberating in the entire Fenghua Building.
"Puff..."
Many Hu family disciples vomited blood and looked depressed, obviously injured by the former's shout.
At this moment, a cold voice came from Fenghua Building: "Fellow Daoist Song of Wuling Mansion, you brought people to block the door without saying a word, you don't take my Hu family seriously, right?"
The next moment!
A middle-aged woman in green clothes walked out of Fenghua Building. The woman had a cold face, and there were many young men and women following behind her.
It was Hu Baimei, the head of the Hu family.
With the appearance of Hu Baimei, the faces of the Hu family disciples present were all happy, and then they felt the pressure was relieved.
"Master Hu!"
Song Qinglian looked at Hu Baimei steadily, with a hint of fear: "Five disciples of my Wuling Mansion are missing, including a true disciple. Please hand over your Hu Fei!"
When this was said, countless people were shocked.
The true disciple of Wuling Mansion is also missing?
But Hu Fei behind Hu Baimei was confused. Although he taught Yuan Ling a lesson, he never attacked him again. Why did Wuling Mansion suspect him?
Even Hu Baimei was moved, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Song, my Hu family has never had any grudges with your Wuling Mansion. What does the disappearance of your Wuling Mansion disciples have to do with my Hu Fei?"
After that, she subconsciously glanced at Hu Fei.
"What a person who has no grudges!"
Song Qinglian sneered: "Yesterday, Hu Fei from your Hu family ignored his status and injured Yuan Ling, an inner disciple of Wuling Mansion, in the restaurant. Afterwards, Yuan Ling and others disappeared. How do you explain it?"
As his voice fell, everyone, including the Hu family, looked at Hu Fei.
Even Hu Baimei was no exception. Hu Lei beside her seemed to have thought of something, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Hu Baimei looked at Hu Fei steadily, expressionless and said: "Hu Fei, is what Fellow Daoist Song said true?"
Hu Fei took a step forward and said lightly: "Master, Elder Song, I did have a conflict with Yuan Ling in the restaurant yesterday, but I just taught him a lesson at that time."
Hu Fei was about to speak, but saw Hu Lei looking at him with a righteous face: "Hu Fei, I'm not saying you, you shouldn't rely on your status as a disciple of the Hu family to bully the weak outside..."
"Master Hu, did you hear that?"
Song Qinglian smiled coldly: "You Hu family members have admitted it themselves, are you going to protect this person today?"
"Master, the disappearance of Yuan Ling and others has absolutely nothing to do with me. I really just taught him a lesson at that time..." Hu Fei explained.
Hu Baimei's eyes flickered several times, looking directly at Song Qinglian: "Fellow Daoist Song, when did your sect's disciples disappear?"
Song Qinglian snorted coldly: "After midnight last night..."
"This means that after Hu Fei had a conflict with the disciples of the Guizong in the restaurant, the disciples of the Guizong were fine at the time..."
Hu Baimei smiled faintly: "And Hu Fei stayed in Fenghua Tower all night last night. How can he be blamed for the disappearance of the disciples of your sect?"
Song Qinglian was unable to refute for a while.
Xiao Hei, who witnessed this scene from a distance, couldn't help but smile: "Master, this Hu Baimei is quite smart."
"How can she be treated as an ordinary woman if she can become the head of the Hu family?" Ye Chen shook his head and smiled.
Hu Baimei said again: "Fellow Daoist Song said before that among the missing disciples of your sect, there is a true disciple, right?"
Song Qinglian didn't want to answer.
"As we all know, your sect has nine true disciples, each of whom is a top martial arts king!"
Hu Baimei talked eloquently: "Although I, Hu Fei of the Hu family, am also a top martial arts king, it is impossible to abduct the disciples of your sect without knowing it..."
"So, the head of the Hu family is determined to protect you, a member of the Hu family?"
Song Qinglian's expression changed for a few times, and then he said indifferently: "Even if you tell the truth, people from your Hu family are inevitably involved in this matter. I will take them away no matter what I say today."
"Without sufficient evidence, how can you possibly touch my disciples of the Hu family if you want?"
Hu Baimei's beautiful eyes darkened slightly, and when she finished the last word, the temperature of the whole place suddenly cooled down, and she was obviously angry.
Hu Fei was extremely moved when he heard this.
Song Qinglian looked at Hu Baimei with cold eyes, and then smiled angrily: "Very good, today I want to learn the methods of the Hu family!"
In an instant, there was silence between heaven and earth.
Countless people were stunned subconsciously.
Is this about to take action?
Xiao Hei, who was standing in the distance, saw this and couldn't help but said: "Master, can we take action?"
Just as Ye Chen was about to speak, his eyes suddenly looked into the distance, where he heard a shout: "Stop it!!!"
