"...We were doing our best to resist the 'Collapse of Heaven' when Shen Qian suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, he attacked Consort Ning. Consort Ning tried her best to resist, but...but she still died at Shen Qian's hands..."
The silence of the scene was abruptly shattered.
Even the mountains and seas showed expressions of horror at this moment.
Who is Consort Ning?
If we put everything else aside, she is an unparalleled genius who has reached the top of the Eighth Heaven Ranking. Although her status is extremely high, considering that Shen Qian had already slaughtered six Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators before, it seems that killing another Ning Zhaoyi is not a big deal.
But the real problem is... Consort Ning has another identity.
She was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning. Given the extent of his affection for her, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her his "precious jewel."
And now, she is dead.
Although the Duke of Tianning was not present, the atmosphere was completely oppressive, and many people even unconsciously showed a trace of fear in their eyes.
Who is the Duke of Tianning?
Those were the earliest batch of kings and nobles in China. They already had a great reputation during the era of the rise of the Nine Kings. Later, some of the Nine Kings fell or disappeared, and a group of top kings and nobles, such as the Duke of Tianning, rose up, which completely laid the foundation for the post-disaster landscape.
After that, the Duke of Tianning held the power of the Military and Legal Affairs Department for more than two hundred years.
It's important to understand that the Martial Arts Department wasn't the "invisible" department it is today when it was rebuilt. Before the establishment of the Police and Martial Arts Agency, the Martial Arts Department was definitely a "high-ranking and powerful" department among the nine departments.
Especially in that chaotic early era, the Martial Arts Department had to suppress many powerful martial artists who were committing evil deeds, and its strength was definitely the top among the nine departments.
The illustrious name of the Duke of Tianning was renowned throughout the mountains and seas.
Who can withstand the almost certain rage of the other party?
Amidst the oppressive silence, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"What a fine attempt to evade the main issue! Song Jinyao, let me ask you this: why did you have such a clear purpose in killing Consort Ning before the storm?"
The Earl of Pingyang's sudden question silenced the atmosphere once again.
Under the piercing gaze cast down from above, Song Jinyao's forehead broke out in a fine sweat, but he dared not hesitate and quickly replied, "At that time... at that time, Consort Ning snatched the bracelets from Jiang Zhongjun and his group, forcing... forcing them to fight the three-colored giants, and Ding Yi was among them..."
Ordinary martial artists cannot lie in front of those at the Mountain and Sea level, so Song Jinyao's words made many Mountain and Sea experts look enlightened.
If that's the case, then Chen Qian's actions seem justifiable.
But soon another cold laugh rang out, "No matter what, Shen Qian's killing of Consort Ning is still an unforgivable crime. Given the Duke of Tianning's doting on his young daughter, did Consort Ning really have no means of protecting herself? Yet Shen Qian directly executed her, clearly leaving her no room to struggle. It's cruel!"
Aurora Boma Guangxi's almost tit-for-tat remarks made many people subconsciously nod in agreement.
"Ahem, what happened next? Why were you eliminated?" Wu Wei had to cough lightly to change the subject.
"We...we withdrew from the battlefield on our own..."
This matter seemed to be difficult for Song Jinyao and the others to talk about. A dozen young men showed shame on their faces and stammered out the words after a long while.
Quit by yourself?
Everyone was stunned.
Why?
Although it was clear that the dozen or so people were somewhat hesitant, it was obvious that not everyone was willing to let them get away with it vaguely, especially the person who spoke up at this moment.
It was Song Jinyao's master, a veteran top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm expert, who was frowning deeply, probably because he felt that his disciple's performance was somewhat embarrassing.
Song Jinyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Because...because after Shen Qian killed Consort Ning, he didn't stop there, and...he also attacked Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi..."
Wow!
The commotion resumed.
Countless people were astonished.
While it's understandable that Ning Zhaoyi, despite her combat strength approaching 20,000, would be attacked by Shen Qian, who is ranked on the Nine Heavens List, their attacks on Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi are incomprehensible.
Moreover, judging from Song Jinyao's words, Shen Qian was actually fighting two against one!
But... something's not right!
Song Jinyao's master asked in confusion, "Even if Shen Qian attacked Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi, why did you run away?"
"Because...because Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi were no match for Shen Qian at all. In less than a minute, Shen Qian forced them to use their trump cards to save their lives. In the end, Qin Xiaoke had no choice but to surrender and even had to offer a promise of 1 billion resources to survive!"
Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Song Jinyao gritted his teeth and told everything in one go.
"As for Wu Yi, he only fled in panic after his contracted demon beast 'Red Eye' took his life for him..."
"We were all the ones who orchestrated the Jiangzhong Military Incident. Shen Qian will definitely not let us go, so we have no choice but to escape in advance!"
quiet.
A profound silence enveloped the entire venue.
The sheer amount of information conveyed in Song Jinyao's words shocked everyone.
Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi combined couldn't beat Shen Qian?
Moreover, she was forced to use her trump card to save her life, and Qin Xiaoke even had to beg for mercy to survive...
Some people looked at Song Jinyao with even stranger expressions.
How could seventeen powerful experts from the Mountain and Sea realms here be scared away by Shen Qian before even engaging in combat?
Is it really that exaggerated?
But then I thought about it again and it didn't seem wrong at all...
After all, Shen Qian could easily crush Qin Xiaoke and Wu Yi. Even if seventeen Shan Hai joined forces, what difference would they make from each other in front of Shen Qian?
