283 What a pity that its not you (2/2)
”That's it?”
Huang Chunqiu furrowed his brows.
”That's all.”
”Did he remove his mask? Did he reveal his identity?”
”Before he could share further on himself, I had already rejected him.”
Towards Luo Qinghan's response, Huang Chunqiu was rendered speechless as he could not find any fault with it.
However, he could still question Luo Qinghan further on why she had not stopped the murderer and asked for him to reveal his face or his identity before letting him leave.
One had to know that in this entire matter, Luo Qinghan had been the primary victim after all.
”Sect Leader Huang.”
At this point, Sect Leader Meng, who had asked for Luo Qinghan to speak, glanced at Huang Chunqiu. ”With what Luo Qinghan had shared, this mysterious figure should probably still be on the Guiyao planet.
”I think... You can make use of the fact that the Alliance Hunt is still ongoing to pay the planet a visit. Perhaps you would be able to find him.
”Seeing as there are many disciples of the other sects still around on the Guiyao planet, it would be hard for him to disappear... However, once the Alliance Hunt ends, without the presence of others who will be able to help you surround the planet, it will be harder to catch him.”
At this point, Meng Yuping's gaze had become more intense as well.
Hearing this, Huang Chunqiu's face changed. Other than leaving behind a group of Dharma stage disciples, he brought a few of the high-level disciples of the Tiansong Sect and flew hurriedly into the skies towards the Guiyao planet and prepared to enter.
”Elder Qingshan, Elder Ti Luo, and I will explore the Guiyao planet to see if we can help the sect to identify this mysterious man... You can stay here!”
Among the three of the mid Divine Transformation elders, one spoke up.
He then left with the remaining elder towards the Guiyao planet at the speed of lightning that far surpassed that of Huang Chunqiu's group.
Where the people of the Thunder Sword Sect were, He Mengxi whispered quietly under her breath to Zhou Donghuang. ”Those two elders must have entered the Guiyao planet for reasons other than helping out the people of the Tiansong Sect... They must fear that if they find who they are looking for, they will kill him.
”If the person were to be of significant status and were to die here, it would not only cause trouble for the Tiansong Sect but also for the Alliance!
”As Deputy Alliance Leaders, they would not allow that to happen.
”The honor of the sects in the Alliance is shared and linked. If the Tiansong Sect were to be doomed, other sects, including our Thunder Sword Sect, would follow suit and be troubled as well.”
He Mengxi's words were indeed valid and hit the nail on the head.
Zhou Donghuang nodded. However, his gaze landed on Luo Qinghan, and this gaze was one of extreme bafflement... Luo Qinghan had not handled the situation and Huang Chunqiu the way that he had expected her to.
According to his predictions, Luo Qinghan could have said that Zhuge Haotian had followed her insistently and helped her kill beasts along the way, allowing her to gain many extra points in this Alliance Hunt.
As for those points, they would still be useful for her even though she had received help.
As long as the external helper was below the Divine Transformation stage, aid rendered did not flout the rules of the Alliance Hunt.
Furthermore, no one could ascertain whether the beasts were injured by an external party but still ultimately killed at the hands of Luo Qinghan.
This would be very hard to verify.
Because of this, no one would object to extra points being allocated to Luo Qinghan.
However, he had not expected for Luo Qinghan to change her story when facing Huang Chunqiu. ”I can't believe this... surely she is not planning to give up this opportunity to be one of the top scorers of the Alliance Hunt?”
Zhou Donghuang was clear that since Luo Qinghan had spoken those words, it would no longer be convenient for her to present the brains of the beasts that he had helped her kill. This was because the sheer amount of it would be suspicious, and there would definitely be dissenters who suspected the true identity of the person who had helped her.
In that case, her story would then be nitpicked and questioned as well.
Similarly, because of this, Zhou Donghuang had taught Luo Qinghan to mention that person's name in front of Huang Chunqiu, and highlight that the person in question was from the big Zhuge family from another galaxy. Furthermore, he taught her to say that the family had other Immortal adepts... The Zhuge family that he was talking about was actually real and was the family of his biological mother, Zhuge Jing, and there were indeed Immortals within the family.
If Luo Qinghan mentioned this, other than the Tiansong Sect Leader, even the three mid Divine Transformation adepts who were in charge of this year's Alliance Hunt would not dare to try and visit the Guiyao planet to hunt such a significant person down.
”What a stubborn girl... Could it be that she feels like she would owe me a favor if she used the beasts that I killed to accumulate points for herself? Furthermore, would she not be willing to owe me anything?”
At this point, thinking about this matter, Zhou Donghuang felt frustrated.
Zhou Donghuang glanced at Luo Qinghan, and Luo Qinghan naturally could sense this. However, she merely glanced quickly back at Zhou Donghuang before looking away, and she sighed internally to herself in her heart, ”What a pity that it wasn't you...”
