Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 499 The reason

"Junior brother, there are two main reasons why this matter has caused such a big uproar.

First of all, although Liu Qingquan is only an inner sect disciple, he is the person in charge of the Red Copper Mine sent by the sect after all! Now that he has encountered an accident in the Red Copper Mine, this is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to our Qingyun Sect.

Secondly, the Liu family, a subordinate faction of the sect, was extremely dissatisfied after learning about this. After all, Liu Qingquan was the son of the Liu family's chief elder, and he was also the most talented one.

Now that he had been inexplicably murdered on the sect's territory, how could the Liu elders let this go? That was why they kept making a fuss, insisting the sect give them an explanation.

It is precisely for this reason that the sect specifically sent a true disciple to handle this matter, to demonstrate the importance they attach to Liu Qingquan's murder."

Although Wang Zongyuan's suspicion of Wu Ming grew deeper, he still decided to tell Wu Ming the whole story.

The much information contained in it is not something that ordinary sect disciples can know.

After all, Wang Zongyuan is a legitimate disciple of the sect. His grandfather, who has long passed away, was once a member of the sect, and his grandfather's senior brother became an elder of the sect very early.

Not only that, his father was also a deacon of the sect, and he himself had taken an elder as his teacher.

Such a background enables him to access internal information that many disciples of the sect have no way of knowing.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for clearing up my confusion. So, Senior Brother, you are doubting me?"

There seemed to be a hint of grievance in Wu Ming's tone.

In fact, after he heard what Wang Zongyuan said, he already knew in his heart that he might have made a big mess this time.

You know, if Liu Qingquan had not met with an accident on the sect's territory, with the Liu family's courage, they would never dare to cause trouble in the sect.

That sect would not send a true disciple of the Jindan realm to investigate the matter. This obviously means that the seriousness of the matter is extremely important, and it is also to give face to the Liu family.

However, things have come to this point and Wu Ming can do nothing about it.

He could only pray silently, hoping that he would not be caught up in this storm and leave everything to fate.

Wang Zongyuan looked at Wu Ming's aggrieved expression, and his heart softened. He quickly comforted him, "Junior Brother, don't misunderstand me. I'm not doubting you. It's just that the hatred between you two is no longer a secret in our sect, and too many people know about it. Regardless of whether you have anything to do with Liu Qingquan's death, others will definitely suspect you first."

He paused, then continued, "Just like me, although I only had some conflicts with Liu Qingquan, I was also questioned by the True Disciple Senior Brother. So, Junior Brother, you must be mentally prepared. When facing other people's doubts, you must not reveal any flaws, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

Wang Zongyuan sighed and continued earnestly, "Junior brother, Liu Qingquan's death isn't a big deal for our sect. The key lies with the Liu family. You should understand what I mean, right?"

After hearing Wang Zongyuan's words, Wu Ming immediately understood what he meant.

Wang Zongyuan's meaning was very clear, that is, relying on his connections in the sect, he could completely minimize the impact of this matter.

After all, Liu Qingquan, as a veteran inner disciple, attacked Wu Ming, a newly promoted inner disciple, first. This was Liu Qingquan's fault.

Although Wu Ming's counterattack was a bit excessive, it was not a capital crime.

However, what worries Wu Ming is that the Liu family has also gotten involved, which undoubtedly brings more variables and uncertainties to the matter.

"Senior brother, even you are being questioned? It seems that I can't escape it no matter what." Wu Ming said helplessly.

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Wang Zongyuan felt even more depressed.

His original guess has now been confirmed. Liu Qingquan's death is indeed related to Wu Ming.

However, what puzzled him was how Wu Ming did this?

Although Liu Qingquan is slightly inferior to him in strength, he is also a veteran inner disciple after all, and has the powerful Liu family to support him.

With Wu Ming's strength, it seems not to be an easy task to kill him without leaving any trace.

Wang Zongyuan couldn't help but start to re-examine Wu Ming. This seemingly ordinary junior brother seemed not as simple as he seemed. He probably had some unknown means hidden.

"Junior brother, the reason I told you this news is not to test you," Wang Zongyuan explained.

"The sect's true disciple came to question you, but it was just a formality. With your cultivation level, there is no way you could be suspected of being the murderer of Liu Qingquan. After all, you are just a newly promoted inner disciple, while Liu Qingquan has been a cultivator who has entered the foundation-building stage for many years."

Wang Zongyuan paused and continued, "However, the Liu family will definitely not give up. In order to avenge Liu Qingquan, they will probably stop at nothing. So, Junior Brother, you must be careful and cautious. Don't let the Liu family get hold of anything."

His words revealed his concern for Wu Ming, and also reminded Wu Ming to be wary of potential threats from the Liu family.

"Brother, thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to it." Wu Ming felt a warmth in his heart when he heard Wang Zongyuan's reminder.

Although the relationship between the two families is quite good due to the connection between the previous generations, the other party has provided him with countless help since Wu Ming entered the sect.

Not only that, the other party even came specially to tip him off, which made Wu Ming feel that he owed the other party a huge favor.

Wu Ming wondered in his heart, how could he repay this kindness?

He pondered over it and suddenly remembered that he had something on him, which might be the most appropriate way to repay Senior Brother Wang.

However, just as Wu Ming was about to take this thing out, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Is Senior Brother Wang really trustworthy? Will he keep this secret? If Senior Brother Wang leaks this secret, the consequences will be disastrous!

Or what should I do if he covets my treasure?

Wu Ming was in a fierce struggle. On the one hand, he felt that Senior Brother Wang had done him a favor and he should repay him.

On the other hand, he was worried that Senior Brother Wang was unreliable and would cause trouble for him.

In this dilemma, Wu Ming was actually a little at a loss for a moment.
