Chapter 1606 - 1501: The Arrogant Kong Lingci

The words of the two leaders made it almost certain that Ren Zhengfei had attempted to assassinate Qin Hao.

"Qin Hao, where is Ren Zhengfei?" At this moment, Ji Xinhu asked the critical question.

Qin Hao didn’t answer but instead took something out from the Void Storage Ring.

The leaders fixed their gaze, and their faces all changed.

The object in Qin Hao’s hand turned out to be Ren Zhengfei’s head!

"What!" Kong Lingci was scared half to death, his face completely pale.

How could this be!

Why did Ren Zhengfei fail to assassinate and end up being killed by Qin Hao!

Beside him, Kong Denghui was equally astonished.

However, he quickly regained his composure, though he couldn’t stay calm internally.

Despite Ren Zhengfei not being particularly strong, he was at least a master of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Why would he die by Qin Hao’s hand?

Incredible!

Similar to the Kong family’s brothers, many of the leaders were equally shocked.

In the past, if an Elder died, Li Tongtian would surely be furious and demand answers.

But today, Li Tongtian didn’t do so; he simply asked, "Qin Hao, did you really kill Ren Zhengfei?"

No matter his breadth of experience, he hadn’t anticipated this outcome.

After all, he had never exceeded his level to kill anyone in his youth, let alone his own sect’s Elder.

Qin Hao actually achieved this? Is it true!

Qin Hao calmly said, "That’s correct, Ren Zhengfei was killed."

As soon as these words were heard, everyone gasped and looked at Qin Hao with astonishment.

Exceeding levels!

He had actually achieved a cross-level kill!

Qin Hao, as a disciple, could kill an Elder; such a capability, even if his body was considered wasted, was quite impressive!

Kong Lingci and Kong Denghui’s eyes flickered more, their expressions turning grim.

After a while, the leaders regained their composure.

It turned out that Qin Hao, in his anger over being assassinated, had killed Ren Zhengfei.

But what did this anger have to do with Kong Lingci?

A leader inquired, "Qin Hao, though Ren Zhengfei failed to assassinate you, what does this have to do with Kong Lingci?"

"Heh." Qin Hao chuckled lightly, his gaze fell coldly on Kong Lingci and Kong Denghui: "Because Ren Zhengfei confessed before his death that he found my location because someone in the sect deliberately informed him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a leader murmured, "Deliberately informed? Are you saying that the person is Kong Lingci?"

Through Qin Hao’s eyes, the leaders vaguely understood.

If what Qin Hao says is true.

Then the person who reported it must be the Kong family’s two brothers?

"Nonsense!" Kong Lingci’s face turned red immediately, shouting guiltily: "Qin Hao, aren’t you just trying to smear me due to our past grudges?"

Kong Denghui also sneered coldly: "Qin Hao, you do realize that framing and slander are also serious offenses!"

"Heh." Qin Hao mocked with a sneer: "Some people know whether they’ve done immoral things."

Kong Lingci trembled with fear and anger.

Kong Denghui continued to sneer, indifferent.

The leaders did not speak.

They observed the expressions of the Kong family brothers, but viewed from Kong Denghui’s side, he showed no slip.

However, Kong Lingci was quite obvious.

Nervous, guilty, scared.

Isn’t this the reaction of being exposed?

So it was Kong Lingci who revealed the information to Ren Zhengfei.

This act of using someone to kill was quite ruthless.

No wonder Qin Hao was so angry.

At this moment, Qin Hao felt the timing was right and shouted; "Kong Lingci! You sent someone to assassinate me, causing me to be seriously injured and miss the best opportunity to come to the front lines! Do you admit your guilt!"

These words were said with such righteousness, as if Qin Hao had become the Punishment Hall Elder.

"I didn’t! You little bastard! Don’t make false accusations!" Kong Lingci shouted with considerable resistance.

Kong Denghui also frowned: "Qin Hao! I advise you to be cautious in your words and actions!"

"Hey!" Qin Hao mocked with disdain, looking at Sect Leader Lei: "Sect Leader, I implore you to provide justice."

Sect Leader Lei deeply furrowed his brows.

This matter, what Qin Hao said appears to be true.

But the problem is, although Kong Lingci is guilty, there’s no direct evidence!

We can’t convict someone just because they look guilty, right?

Therefore, strictly speaking, Kong Lingci’s guilt cannot be established.

Thus, Sect Leader Lei said: "Qin Hao, you must provide other evidence."

"Evidence? I don’t have any." Qin Hao shook his head, "Ren Zhengfei is already dead, and indeed there is no evidence."

"Without evidence, it won’t work." Sect Leader Lei frowned, finding it a bit troublesome.

Li Tongtian also shook his head: "Even though I believe your words, conviction needs evidence."

Qin Hao didn’t speak, his face looking somewhat grim.

"Haha!" Kong Lingci hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, feeling like he’d gone from hell to heaven in a second.

He laughed manically: "You little bastard! Did you think your one-sided story could wrong me? You underestimated the intelligence of the leaders! Now, you’re helpless against me! Isn’t it frustrating?"

He was too excited; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so hysterical.

After all, just now, he almost believed he would be convicted.

Fortunately, the Elder members were reasonable.

Qin Hao didn’t speak, only glaring at Kong Lingci with eyes full of anger.

"Haha! What are you looking at, you little bastard! You must be really wanting to kill me, huh? Unfortunately, you’re merely a crawler, forced to watch helplessly!"

Kong Lingci ostentatiously clamored: "Whoa, your gaze is so scary, I’m almost scared to death!"

The leaders, seeing Kong Lingci’s despicable behavior, all showed displeasure but did not speak.

Kong Denghui sneered and interjected: "Senior Brother Lei, this scoundrel Qin Hao has slandered my brother, please seek justice and execute him!"

Compared to Kong Lingci, Kong Denghui was considerably more ruthless.

Seeing Qin Hao had no chance, he immediately counterattacked.

Sect Leader Lei, hearing this, looked at Li Tongtian.

Li Tongtian was unusually silent.

Executing Qin Hao wasn’t necessary, but he should be punished for his offense.

So, how should he be punished?

At this moment, Qin Hao laughed: "Hahaha! Kong Denghui, Kong Lingci, you two brothers are the epitome of shamelessness!"

Kong Denghui scowled, flames of anger clearly in his eyes.

Kong Lingci was complacent: "You little bastard! After throwing mud now you’re cursing! You only have that much skill! Disgusting!"

Seeing Qin Hao silent, he became more smug, shouting: "You little bastard! Want to kill me, huh? Then come, come!"

This arrogant shout made all the leaders frown.

How can you be a dignified Elder and act so unbecomingly? How is this acceptable?

However, there were also those who looked at Qin Hao with sympathy.

Wronged to the brink of death, now being counterattacked.

What is even more infuriating is watching the villain flauntingly before him, yet unable to act.

This humiliation, probably most people would find it unbearable?
