Qin Dong's Trouble
"Senior Qin Dong!"
"Why did she want to assassinate the district chief?"
There was great panic in the crowd. Several young monks saw the woman's face. She had a high ponytail and was dressed in a neat black dress, which made her legs and arms look long. She wore a simple royal blue coat on the outside, which reflected the coldness in the girl's eyes.
She held the Emei Spear in her hand, her face plain and indifferent. She was nothing like the confident and dazzling female monk in the commendation column of Qiuyu Academy. Instead, she looked like an assassin who killed people at night, cruel and ruthless.
"Senior Qin Dong! Why are you here? What do you want to do to the district chief?"
Ever since Meng Yuanxiang entered Qiuyu Academy, she had heard about the deeds of her senior sister Qin Dong, who was the most talented female cultivator before her. She had three spiritual roots and had reached the tenth level of Qi training at the age of 25. Under the circumstances at that time, she was already a child of destiny.
Meng Yuanxiang grew up listening to her stories and has regarded Qin Dong as her idol. Although there are always some girls around her who make up stories about her, Meng Yuanxiang never believes it. She thinks that Qin Dong is confident and proud, so how could she do such a despicable thing!
For so many years, the whereabouts of her senior sister have been unknown. She was vaguely worried, afraid that the rumors spread by people around her were true, afraid that senior sister Qin Dong was not a perfect person, and also afraid that she had regarded a bad person as an idol for many years.
Fortunately, the district chief showed up. When she first met him at the school commendation meeting, he was such a gentle, graceful, strong and gentle man that he had replaced the senior sister Qin Dong in her mind.
Her previous goal was to surpass senior Qin Dong, but her current goal is to gain the trust of the district chief and get his approval.
To this end, she has been working hard and working shoulder to shoulder with the district mayor.
She had been looking forward to this Lingquan Festival for a long time. She finally got to be with the district chief as she wished, feeling his thoughtfulness, his passion and sincerity. She didn't expect that all this would be broken by Senior Qin Dong.
She didn't understand and stood in front of the district chief in a defensive posture: "Senior Qin Dong, why are you doing this!"
Qin Dong didn't know the girl in front of him at all. He just saw that she protected Chen Ziqiu like a treasure. The affection in her eyes could not be deceived, and his heart trembled.
Once upon a time, she also regarded Chen Ziqiu as a god in her heart!
But, it's all fake!
Qin Dong's eyes turned cold. The nine monks and guards in front of her formed a circle around her, pressing forward step by step, and surrounding her from all sides. All of them had a stern expression, treating her as an enemy!
Qin Dong shouted: "Don't be fooled by Chen Ziqiu!"
"This Lingquan sachet contains aphrodisiac powder. When the time comes, you female cultivators will unknowingly lose your vital essence! After waking up, you will be jealous, suspicious, and resentful of each other! You will become like the rumored me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the mortals, who were originally in a mess, looked at each other in confusion, and voices of doubt appeared in the crowd.
"Really?"
"No wonder my sister was so depressed after graduation! Even her best friend left her!"
"This is not nonsense. How could the district chief do such a thing?"
"It must have been a woman who seduced me!"
"That's right! The district chief is so handsome. Those female students must have deliberately seduced him for his resources and wanted to be with him!"
People were talking about it. Wang Wenxiu's family didn't know much about District Chief Chen Ziqiu. They just thought that free housing and free schooling were good things. They thought that moving from District 8 to District 7 was the right decision. In their hearts, District Chief Chen Ziqiu had always been a very good person.
For a moment, they couldn't believe their ears.
Wang Siyu, who had studied at Qiuyu College and heard many stories about the district head, couldn't accept it. "Impossible! The district head gave us free housing and free admission. How could he be such a person?"
"You are just talking nonsense, how can you prove that this is true?"
Her words struck a chord with the others, and they all came to their senses. "Yes, you're just a little girl, talking nonsense. What makes you say everything you say is true? What evidence do you have? If you don't have any evidence, you're just slandering our district chief! Our district chief is such a good person. Who in District 7 doesn't praise him?"
Qin Dong, who was restrained, was so frustrated that he dodged the attacks and said, "The spiritual spring water you drank is problematic. It has been mixed with mind-destroying powder, making you unconsciously obey Chen Ziqiu's every command and do whatever he says!"
"Don't you think your mood swings are really big? Because sometimes you become unlike yourself under the influence of drugs!"
"For years you've been holding the Spirit Spring Festival, drinking the water and wearing new clothes. It's nothing more than a grand suicide!"
"The more spiritual spring water you drink, the stronger your body will become, but your mind will be lost, and in the end you will just become a puppet!"
"Chen Ziqiu has always been meticulous in his work, leaving absolutely no trace. However, many years ago, a mortal died suddenly at home after not drinking the Spiritual Spring water! Someone spread rumors about this, saying it was disrespectful to the Spiritual Spring Festival!"
Qin Dong's eyes were cold as he sneered, "We are already in the age of cultivating immortals, where do all these feudal superstitions come from? You can only deceive yourselves!"
"In reality, as long as the monks do something to intimidate the mortals, they will respect the Spirit Spring Festival and drink the spiritual spring water on time. We have no substantial evidence for what we say, but you all have doubts in your hearts. Today, I am just pointing out your confusion!"
These words were like oil adding to a raging fire, burning brighter and brighter.
Many mortals vomited, trying to spit out the spiritual spring water, but some were unwilling to believe it, thinking that Qin Dong was talking nonsense and had no evidence at all. The crowd was clamoring and unwilling to leave the vicinity of the spiritual spring, and split into three factions.
Some are willing to believe Chen Ziqiu, some are unwilling to believe Chen Ziqiu, and some choose to remain neutral without making any comments.
Qian Luo watched Wang Wenxiu's family fall into deep thought. She recalled Wang Wenxiu's sudden mood swings and felt confused. She looked at the crystal clear spiritual spring. Could there really be something fishy going on here?
A mind-bending powder? Similar to her mind-bending powder?
Qian Luo calmed herself down and looked up at the fight not far away. She saw Qin Dong, who was completely different from what Li Yuanyuan and Ye Zi had described, appear in front of her, and she felt a sense of illusion.
According to Li Yuanyuan and Ye Zi, Qin Dong is a materialistic, vain woman who plays with men.
She had a high opinion of herself and was ignored by Chen Ziqiu, who remained calm and composed. He then punished her to serve Sun Rushuang. The proud and complacent Qin Dong naturally couldn't stand being a humble maid.
When she saw Chen Ziqiu caring about Sun Rushuang, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Sun Rushuang and wanted to take revenge on her. Finally, she was discovered by Chen Ziqiu, and his cultivation was abolished, and she was expelled from the palace and disappeared from then on.
However, the Qin Dong that Qianluo saw was as cold as Sun Rushuang, with a beautiful appearance and a heart full of plans. Although his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent, he had some passion and an unyielding spirit.
Qin Dong is already 35 years old this year. As a cultivator, she still looks like a girl. Her aura is not inferior to Meng Yuanxiang and Chu Zhengzheng. It seems that after not seeing her for many years, her cultivation has reached a higher level!
How could such an intelligent and diligently practicing girl be so unbearable in the eyes of others?
…
Meng Yuanxiang, standing in front of Lingquan Tower, drew her bow and arrow, her eyes like stars, and sternly said, "Senior Qin Dong! I don't want to attack you, but if you harbor resentment towards the District Chief, we have no choice but to fight you!"
The bow and arrow in her hand was pure white, made of fine jade, warm to the touch, and the arrow was sharp, emitting a bright blue light.
The Eyun Bow lived up to its reputation, its speed was extremely fast, comparable to the wind and clouds. It was a high-level magical weapon that she had practiced diligently for many years and was awarded to her by Chen Ziqiu at the commendation meeting.
She has been constantly honing it over the years, and the Eyun Bow has become her most handy high-level magical weapon.
However, she didn't expect that the first person she killed was her senior Qin Dong, whom she had admired since childhood!
"Hahaha, you are stubborn and can't see the enemy clearly!" Qin Dong laughed out loud. Seeing Meng Yuanxiang was like seeing his former self. He claimed to be deeply in love, but in fact he was just deceived by illusions!
"Yuan Xiang, she doesn't even know you!"
Chu Zhengzheng waved her hands and took out a glittering pink guzheng, with millions of peach blossoms engraved on the pink jade.
With a flick of her white hands, the sound was pleasant, and with a flash of light, peach blossoms bloomed one after another. Thousands of peach blossoms rushed towards her with fierce murderous intent, leaving no room for maneuver!
"Stop talking nonsense! Director of the protection zone!" Chu Zhengzheng looks weak, but she is also a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training, and she will definitely not let down at a critical moment.
The girl held a pink guzheng horizontally, a high-level magical instrument made of pink peach jade, which was also a reward she received at the commendation meeting.
Although it is not as fast as Meng Yuanxiang's Eyun Bow, it is a high-level magical weapon with pleasant sounds and fluctuating melodies, and it can kill people without leaving any blood!
"Zheng Zheng!" Meng Yuanxiang was shocked. This was the high-level magical weapon, the Peach Blossom Zheng, which could attack with sonic waves and kill people without being seen. It was Chu Zhengzheng's favorite magical weapon.
Even when she was fighting with Zheng Zheng, she had to avoid attacks.
Even if you block your hearing and avoid the sound, you cannot avoid the Taohua Zheng's spiritual attack. It is extremely aggressive to people with unstable minds!
"puff!"
Sure enough, Qin Dong, who was originally in a state of anxiety, spat out a mouthful of blood, his soul was shaken, and he could hardly hold the Emei Spear in his hand. He took a big step back and was defeated even more under the attack of the guards!
Her mid-level magic weapon is the Dongling Emei Thorn, which was tailor-made for her by her good friend Zhu Ling. It is suitable for close-range attacks, especially assassinations. With flexible movement of both hands and coordinated footwork and body movements, she can kill people while dancing.
However, Qin Dong has now reached the great perfection of Qi training and is no longer suitable for mid-level magic weapons. He cannot compare with the high-level magic weapons in the hands of Meng Yuanxiang and Chu Zhengzheng, so he is powerless.
Qin Dong covered his chest and cursed fiercely: "You are helping the evil!"
They were so numerous and powerful that they surrounded Chen Ziqiu and attacked Qin Dong together. Besides Meng Yuanxiang and Chu Zhengzheng, the other seven cultivators also wanted to show off in front of Chen Ziqiu, and immediately used various magical instruments and spells. The scene before them was filled with wind and rain, and the magic flew in all colors, creating a scene of wonder.
Qian Luo led the three Wang family members to retreat, and inevitably had her face splashed with spiritual spring water. Amidst the splashing water, she saw Chen Ziqiu smiling calmly, taking it calmly.
This is indeed strange. Qin Dong exposed the conspiracy of Lingquan Water in person, but he could still remain calm?
Is there nothing wrong with the spiritual spring water?
She touched the spiritual spring water on her face. It was colorless and odorless, and there was nothing unusual about it. She was filled with doubts. What was Chen Ziqiu planning?
It seems that he is not afraid of being exposed by Qin Dong at all?
And... he is a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building, but he is surrounded by people like porcelain, for fear of being bumped or scratched. Does he, a cultivator who is about to form a pill, still need the protection of others?
"Xiao Luo? Xiao Luo!"
Wang Wenxiu pulled the girl and found that she was absent-minded, watching the fight downstairs of Lingquan Tower. She thought that she was fascinated by the fight between the monks.
"Xiao Luo, the Lingquan messenger has prepared a shelter for us. They said the district chief will definitely bring this woman to justice. Let's go up there. Be careful not to let the fire at the city gates cause harm to others."
Qian Luo watched as the Lingquan messenger led them to a small hill not far away, and she became more and more confused. For the sake of Wang Wenxiu's family, she could only follow behind everyone.
When they reached the mountain, they found Qin Dong had been captured. Seeing Chen Ziqiu getting closer and closer, Qin Dong couldn't help but spit, but Chen Ziqiu blocked her spit with his spiritual energy. She cursed, "Chen Ziqiu, you will die a miserable death. You can fool the people in District 7, but you can't fool me."
"Free housing and free enrollment are all illusions. These people are merely your puppets, nourishing you for cultivation. Everything you do and think is for the sake of achieving a pill. Ask yourself, do you feel guilty?"
"Feel guilty? I, Chen Ziqiu, have been upright all my life, so how can I feel guilty?" The young man raised his hands to suppress everyone's words. His eyes moved like the bright moonlight, cold and ethereal. He had a good appearance like a god, deceiving everyone.
"I feel really sorry for you. You were once a participant at the commendation ceremony, and one of the recipients of the Spiritual Spring Sachet at the Spiritual Spring Festival. Why have you become like this today? Is it just because of jealousy?" He raised his eyes slightly, speaking in a slower tone, "And your good friend, Zhu Ling."
"Over the years, there have been rumors that you were jealous of Sun Rushuang, so I drove you out of the palace. In fact, I did it to save your face, and you were jealous of your good friend Zhu Ling."
"I took extra care of Zhu Ling before, but you mistakenly thought I had feelings for her. So, you became jealous and plotted to murder Zhu Ling, forcing me to abolish your cultivation and expel you from the palace!"
Sure enough, when Qin Dong heard Zhu Ling, his expression was fierce: "Chen Ziqiu, you are not qualified to mention her name!"
Chen Ziqiu noticed her emotional fluctuations and his brows relaxed slightly. "After ten years, you've retrained your cultivation method and not only returned to the peak, but even surpassed it before! It's a pity that you don't know how to repent and cherish your past. Today, you slandered me with empty words. Is it just because of something that happened ten years ago?"
"But it was you who killed your good friend Zhu Ling ten years ago. Why are you blaming me? Don't you admit what you did? Didn't you kill your friend with the Emei Assassin in your hand?"
Chen Ziqiu knew that Zhu Ling had always been Qin Dong's weak spot, so he kept harping on the topic: "If I remember correctly, the Emei Thorn in your hand was made for you by Zhu Ling. I remember she was also a weapon refiner."
"A young and accomplished weapon refiner, with a promising future ahead of her, unexpectedly lost her precious life to your misunderstanding and jealousy. Now you're using a weapon she crafted to kill me. Aren't you ashamed?"
Every word of these words pierced Qin Dong's heart, because what Chen Ziqiu said was true. She did kill her good friend Zhu Ling, and this Dong Ling Emei Spear was the birthday gift Zhu Ling gave her for her 20th birthday.
"I……"
Qin Dong spat out a mouthful of blood and sat on the ground with his legs limp. "I killed her, it was me! You're right, I killed her with my own hands, it's all my fault... I've been regretting it for so many years, but it's a pity that she will never come back."
Qin Dong, who was attacked by the sonic waves, was in a state of instability. After Chen Ziqiu's speech, he completely gave up the attack, muttering to himself, his mind in chaos.
The people on the hill only saw the district chief's victory and were delighted: "I told you he was a good man, but this woman even killed her own sister!"
"Not only did he kill his best sister, but he also used the weapon she gave him to kill the district chief. He is completely heartless and inhumane!"
"We were all fooled by her words before. I thought the district chief... Forget it, it's all because of me who was bewitched by her. How could I have thought of such a thing!"
"I was saying that our district chief is so kind to us, how could we be puppets? If we were puppets, we would be well fed and well provided for!"
Everyone stood on the mountain and watched the winners appear and the losers end up, just like watching a big drama. Everyone was very interested and began to criticize Qin Dong's actions. They were on a high place and had a panoramic view, but ignored the details.
Be it murder or revenge.
Qin Dong knows many things that Qian Luo doesn't know, such as puppets and spiritual spring water. These simulations did not provide any clues. It was because she died early that someone who knew the inside story finally came out. How could Qian Luo let her go?
Qianluo took a few steps back, hid among the crowd, untied the spirit beast bag, and a red figure disappeared.
Soon after, everyone exclaimed, "Look! There's a flame!"
"Is a monster appearing?!"
"It's amazing to think that this woman actually has helpers. That monster actually saved her. Could it be that she has already raised a monster?"
Chen Ziqiu looked at the troublesome fire-breathing beast in front of him, his eyes fixed, and he cast a green barrier: "You guys retreat, this monster is at the foundation-building stage, you can't resist it!"
Meng Yuanxiang, Chu Zhengzheng and the others hurriedly retreated, looking anxious: "How could Qin Dong have a foundation-building monster beast to help him?"
"The flames of this monster are strange, red with purple tints, and a murderous aura. Once burned, no grass will grow!"
"The district chief has a wood spirit root, and fire overcomes wood. What should we do?"
Chen Ziqiu frowned. It was indeed a tricky monster, but he was at the peak of his foundation building and was more than capable of dealing with a monster in the early stage of foundation building. However, the monster did not want to fight him. After several rounds, it carried Qin Dong away quickly.
It was covered in flames, had horns on its head, and was full of spiritual energy. It didn't look like an ordinary monster. It was a bit like the Sun Flame Beast that appeared in District 8 many years ago.
He had also experienced that strange fire, but his cultivation was low at that time and he did not participate. During this period, he met Wang Tongtian, who is now the head of District 8.
He slowly withdrew his hand, stood up with his head held high, looked at the hill not far away, and curled his lips: "Brother Wang Tongtian, why did you let such a big trouble come out?"
His gaze passed through the spiritual spring water, through the mountains and forests, and looked at the girl from afar with a deep gaze.
Qianluo almost thought that the other party saw through her. When his eyes met hers, her scalp tingled and her hair stood on end. They were very far apart, but she saw his lips move.
She, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, could almost hear his words clearly: "It's really... his death is not unjust."
Qian Luo's heart skipped a beat. How did he know that Wang Tongtian was dead?
