However, as Xie Qi listened to the accusations from the crowd, he gradually realized that the problem seemed to be with himself.

Xie Qi gently tugged at Mu Ze's sleeve, then faced the others and said loudly, "I killed him because I have a grudge against him. I don't know you, so why would I kill you?"

"That being said, who can guarantee that you won't kill people to get the treasures?" the crowd accused indignantly.

Hearing their heated words, Xie Qi couldn't help but frown, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do to make you feel at ease?"

At this moment, Bai Jiu's face was as cold as frost, and he stared at Xie Qi with cold eyes. He responded in a cold tone: "It's very simple. You will take the initiative to exit the secret realm immediately."

However, Xie Qi shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly: "That won't work. I still have to enter Wuxing Academy."

Faced with everyone's tense expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy, Xie Qi felt somewhat helpless. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Well, I'm willing to swear a blood oath, promising you all that I will never decipher the runes on any of you."

The so-called blood oath is an extremely solemn and powerful oath. The user often needs to use their own blood to swear an oath. If the oath is broken, it will cause blood to flow backwards and suffer extremely serious backlash.

At this time, everyone else was staring at Xie Qi intently. After seeing Xie Qi really swear a blood oath, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and gradually let down their guard against him.
