Every word and every sentence was like a huge hammer, making the five elders' eardrums buzz and their whole bodies tremble.
If he still held a glimmer of hope at the beginning, thinking that Shen Qiqi was bluffing him, when he heard what Shen Qiqi said, that glimmer of hope in his heart completely vanished into thin air.
Because he did do something like that.
But it didn't succeed in the end.
But at that time, there were only him and Shen Ning'er in the room, and there was no way that a third person would know what happened that day. It seems that the photo stone in Shen Qiqi's hand was indeed the photo stone that Shen Ning'er took out that day!
As soon as this realization came to mind, the Fifth Elder felt as if the blood in his body had frozen into a layer of ice, and he felt cold from head to toe. Even though his face was swollen like a pig's head, the blood color on his face still receded like the tide.
Almost instantly, the Fifth Elder's face turned as pale as a deathly one.
If he knew that the round stone that Shen Qiqi took out was not the photo stone that Shen Ning'er took out to threaten him that day, but just a blank photo stone, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood.
Unfortunately, there is no such if.
Shen Qiqi took in the Fifth Elder's reaction and sneered in her heart.
The reason why she thought of taking out a blank photo stone to bluff the Fifth Elder was because she knew that the Fifth Elder had superb acting skills and eloquence, and would not cry until he saw the coffin.
As for why she was certain that Shen Ning'er had the photo stone that recorded the inside story of the transaction between the other party and the five elders, it was because of her understanding of Shen Ning'er.
That time when Shen Ning'er pretended to be her and wanted to get involved with Xie Beiming, she had to use the photo stone to record such a shameful thing. How could she not leave something behind for such an important matter as discussing cooperation with the Fifth Elder?
Her speculation proved to be correct.
Seeing the Fifth Elder's eyes fixed on the photo stone in her hand, as if he wanted to snatch it away, Shen Qiqi simply pushed him from behind and said in a cold voice: "Since the Fifth Elder insists that I am wrongly accusing you, then let's take a look at what's inside the photo stone on the spot."
After saying this, he was about to activate the photo stone. The fifth elder panicked when he saw this. Without thinking, he rushed over and snatched the photo stone away, squeezing it hard.
He crushed such a hard stone into powder.
Grayish-white stone foam flowed out from between his fingers, and the Fifth Elder felt as if he had escaped a disaster and relaxed completely.
That kind of confession of guilt is so obvious.
The faces of several elders of the Shen family immediately turned dark.
The Fourth Elder, who had just spoken for the Fifth Elder, was furious and immediately flew into a rage. He grabbed a chair and was about to hit the Fifth Elder on the head. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful baritone suddenly rang out:
"Colluding with evil spirits to harm the people is an unforgivable crime!"
Along with this roar, a powerful pressure erupted from the crowd, and then a figure rushed to the front of the fifth elder like a hurricane and grabbed his throat.
From the sound, to the arrival of the people, to the strangulation of the fifth elder's throat, the whole process took only a breath.
Shen Qiqi took a closer look and said in surprise, "Sect Master Jiang?"
The visitor was none other than Jiang Guiyuan, the patriarch of the Jinyang Jiang family, one of the top 100 Xuanmen families.
Why did he come to Yuzhou?
Shen Qiqi was still wondering, at this moment, another powerful pressure came, and it flew straight to Jiang Guiyuan, grabbed his wrist, and said in a cold voice: "Master Jiang, you can't kill this man."
