599 Zi Jing Hong’s Conclusion (2/2)

His voice was filled with horror and shock.

Zi Jing Hong looked up and fell into a daze. How could he not understand the principle? He had asked the question because he was holding out for hope, wishing that he could gain approbation from Xiao Wei Cheng. He never expected Xiao Wei Cheng to draw the same conclusions as he. After a while, he finally said, ”I also think so too… Our Three Holy Lands has always acted as it wished since time immemorial unless there was a very important person that we needed to transport back to the city, there has been no other exception! Even though not many people from Elusive Land of Immortals have died outside, but there have still been a few. It was just like that beast at the siege at Tien Fa Forest, it was as though someone had died there. At the time, we had enough men, but we just ignored the matter at the time, and we've never specially allocated resources to deconstruct the situation and figure out what happened…”

”Yes! Especially the scene that Gou Bu Huan described, someone must have died at the scene. And it must have been quite a number of people. The men left behind by Ning Wu Qing might not have been enough. Even after the battle, even if they survived, they're probably incapacitated or heavily injured, how would they have any energy left to carry the bodies back… It looks like the Elusive Land of Immortals is really done for!” Xiao Wei Cheng sucked in a deep breath.

But the only thing I don't understand is, Venerable Mei is cool-headed and kind by nature, it doesn't seem like she'll be the type to massacre people just like that. The winning ticket is in her hands, or rather I should say that Elusive Land of Immortals' strength is completely insufficient to hold her back, and she didn't have to massacre them to this extent… As long as she could get away, how would Ning Wu Qing and the others even catch her?” Zi Jing Hong frowned, puzzled, ”And the other thing is… Bro Xiao, did you notice that last sentence?”

”What sentence?” Xiao Wei Cheng lifted up his head and looked at him.

”Just now, Gou Bu Huan said, 'We reached the entrance to the mountain, and realised that about 100 miles away, there were signs of a violent battle.' This sentence! I don't understand.”

Zi Jing Hong frowned, thinking hard, ”How could such a large battle have taken place so far away from the entrance of the mountain? Ning Wu Qing was cunning and wise, his intelligence did not lose to you or me, but there was no way he would have abandoned the mountain entrance, which was the optimal spot for ambus. Instead, he knowingly jumped straight into battle? At a place that was so far away, he started a battle upfront… Having a battle there, isn't it a death wish? If that was what we were going to do, why didn't we just stay together, and confronted them directly to kill them? The only reason we chose this killing plan in various phases was to counter the Venerable Mei's insane ability to take flight. But Ning Wu Qing just jumped out like that! This point here is the most suspicious thing!”

”Uh… It is indeed puzzling.” Xiao Wei Cheng's gaze was a bit dodgy, and he was a bit guilty inside. But he ”knew” why Ning Wu Qing wanted to jump out and send himself to his death… Because of all of this, it was his ”hint”to Ning Wu Qing that led to this outcome…

If he had not hinted that the Venerable Mei had already suffered heavy injuries… He believed that even if he had given Ning Wu Qing countless amounts of courage, he would not have jumped into the battle so illogically…

”Bro Xiao…?” Zi Jing Hong penetrating gaze were directed onto him, and Xiao Wei Cheng realised that he had spaced out… And he just saw that Zi Jing Hong was looking at him in a very strange way, as though he had seen through him. Unwittingly, he laughed awkwardly, saying, ”Bro Zi, what's wrong?”

Zi Jing Hong laughed strangely, but he did not pursue this problem; With Zi Jing Hong's sharpness, he could tell that Xiao Wei Cheng's demeanor was strange, and it was largely to do with Ning Wu Qing and his entire team being wiped out!

Xiao Wei Cheng was the first wave of attack, and he had returned with nothing in hand, losing more than half of his men on hand… For such a huge loss, how could Xiao Wei Cheng not be angry? When he passed by Ning Wu Qing's ambush location, how could Ning Wu Qing not ask about the situation? Xiao Wei Cheng exaggerating the situation was also a possibility…

If it happened to him, he would also be salty about how his entire team could have suffered such huge losses without any returns, and the other 2 teams being untouched… If there were any gains, of course it was not necessary to share them, but if it were losses… Of course it would be better to share them…

But this guy had suffered the ultimate loss. It must have been a simple few sentences that sent the 29 warriors from Elusive Land of Immortals to their death doors… Suppose that if he were to work together with this guy in future, he had to be careful, otherwise he could be sold out by this guy at any time…

”And there is another suspicious point! That is the reason why the Venerable Mei fought… Both you and I know that even though Venerable Mei shows no mercy to her enemies, but she always takes stock of the entire situation first. As to taking part in the Heavenly Battle, especially to those warriors at Beyond Supreme Rank, she's always been merciful to them, and has never killed them! But this time, she killed them mercilessly, leaving nothing behind, it was completely one-sided, forcing the people from the Elusive Land of Immortals to the brink, wiping them all out… There must be a loophole in this! But if there was a reason behind this, what kind of reason would have forced her to deal such a heavy blow? And, it has to be a reason that would make her ignore the consequences to the Heavenly Battle as well?” Zi Jing Hong was deep in thought, voicing out his second question.

”It must have been because Ning Wu Qing and the others did something to trigger the Venerable Mei's rage, and they must have done something that she would not tolerate at all. This is what we should think about!” Xiao Wu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. By saying this, the responsibility was no longer directed on him.

”This is of course, something that we can imagine, but what would have triggered her rage? With her temperament, how would she even get angry at all? On that day, Elusive Land of Immortals collaborated with 10 experts to kill her, and it did not even trigger her to kill them in response! Could it be…” Zi Jing Hong's gaze lit up, ”Jun Mo Xie?”

”That should be it! Venerable Mei has been training for so many years, and she has never had any relationships with anyone. This time, she fell in love with Jun Mo Xie, and that's a love that would ignore everything else!” Xiao Wei Cheng and Zi Jing Hong were humane creatures, how could they not understand this?
