Chen Xuanyang put down his wine glass with an unchanged expression and asked, “Qingying, he’s just a guard. He’s only a Grade 4 Black Immortal. Why are you so worried about him?”

“No,”

Xia Qingying said, “It’s all because of him that everyone from Snow Wind Ridge survived this time round. If…”

“Mistress,”

Right then, Liang Qiu suddenly said, “Haven’t you ever suspected that person’s identity?”

“Suspect what?”

Xia Qingying was slightly stunned.

Liang Qiu said in a deep voice, “That person’s background is unknown. He said that he came from the lower worlds. However, when he ascended, he became a Grade 4 Black Immortal!”

“That’s because he passed the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation,”

Xia Qingying explained.

“Fufu,”

Liang Qiu sneered, “Mistress, do you really believe his nonsense? If he had passed the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, there’s no way he could have descended on the Dragon Abyss Star!”

“He said that an accident happened but he did not explain in detail because he had no way of explaining it! What accidents can happen during the Tribulation Transcendence process?”

When Chen Xuanyang saw that, a smile flashed through his eyes but he was in no hurry to speak.

Xia Qingying frowned in deep thought.

Liang Qiu looked at Chen Xuanyang instinctively.

Chen Xuanyang nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.

Liang Qiu was invigorated and continued, “Mistress, think about it again. He’s only a Grade 4 Black Immortal but he wants to hide his cultivation. What is he doing in our Snow Wind Ridge?”

“It’s only a day’s journey from our Snow Wind Ridge to Blood Sun Valley today. How can it be a coincidence that we encountered the Evil Wolf Army?”

“Someone must have leaked the news! It must be Su Zimo! He’s the spy of the Evil Wolf Army!”

At that point, Chen Xuanyang spoke, “What Commander Liang said makes sense. You can’t judge a book by its cover. This person has only been in Snow Wind Ridge for a year. He’s truly not worthy of your trust.”

“It’s not right,”

Xia Qingying shook her head. “You said that Guard Su is a spy. How is that possible? He was the one who killed the leader of the Evil Wolf Army and forced them to retreat. Everyone witnessed it personally.”

“Mistress, that’s clearly a ruse to gain sympathy,”

Liang Qiu defended forcefully, “Su Zimo must have a greater motive for doing this. There’s a high chance that he’s plotting against the entire Snow Wind Ridge!”

“Furthermore, that’s the reason why he wants to obtain your trust, mistress!”

Xia Qingying shook her head gently in disbelief.

Liang Qiu continued, “Mistress, think about it. If you don’t ride on a demon beast, how can you catch up to the Black Scale Fiend Wolves? However, Su Zimo chased after them!”

“His trip this time round is definitely not to hunt down the Evil Wolf Army, but to discuss an even greater scheme with the remaining Evil Wolf Army!”

“What scheme? Tell me,”

Right then, a voice sounded from outside the hall.

Three people walked towards the hall. The person in the middle wore green robes and had refined features—it was Su Zimo!

The two people beside him were the guards of Snow Wind Ridge who stood guard outside.

One of the guards smiled at Xia Qingying. “Mistress, Guard Su is back!”

When Xia Qingying saw that Su Zimo had returned, her eyes lit up and she stood up to welcome him with a delighted expression.

A dark look flashed through the depths of Chen Xuanyang’s eyes when he saw that.

“Guard Su, are you alright?”

Xia Qingying sized up Su Zimo and asked worriedly.

Su Zimo smiled gently. “Thank you for your concern, mistress. I’m fine.”

Chen Xuanyang shifted his gaze towards Liang Qiu.

Liang Qiu understood and suddenly slammed the table. He pointed at Su Zimo and shouted, “Su Zimo, how dare you return!”

“If I hadn’t returned, I would have been labeled as a spy,”

Su Zimo scoffed coldly.

Turning around, Xia Qingying frowned at Liang Qiu and said in a deep voice, “Liang Qiu, stop talking. Guard Su can’t be a spy. I believe in him!”

“Qingying,”

Right then, Chen Xuanyang stood up slowly and approached. He glanced at Su Zimo and said, “I think that what Commander Liang said is not unreasonable. One has to be wary of others.”

“The moment he arrived at Snow Wind Ridge, the Evil Wolf Army appeared in the vicinity. The two of them might be related.”

Su Zimo looked at Chen Xuanyang with a fake smile without saying anything.

He could sense that there were many experts hidden around the hall!

Apart from the Grade 5 Black Immortals, there were also a few Grade 6 Black Immortals!

Furthermore, Chen Xuanyang was a Grade 6 Black Immortal expert himself!

Under normal circumstances, given Su Zimo’s cultivation realm, there was no way he could scan his surroundings so clearly.

However, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit was fused from the Dragon Phoenix Essence Spirit and Green Lotus Essence Spirit and had already undergone a shocking transformation!

His Essence Spirit realm far surpassed his cultivation realm and was already at the realm of a Grade 6 Black Immortal!

Of course, Su Zimo was now in Blood Sun Valley. Even if he knew that Chen Xuanyang was the one behind everything today, he could not openly fall out with the latter.

As one of the eight major factions of the Dragon Abyss Star, Blood Sun Valley had many hidden experts.

If he were to go against Blood Sun Valley today, even he might not be able to leave alive, let alone everyone from Snow Wind Ridge.

Liang Qiu asked pretentiously, “Young Master Chen, how do you think we should deal with Su Zimo? In my opinion, we should just kill him to prevent any trouble!”

“No!”

Xia Qingying rejected with a cold expression.

She had an unfriendly expression and glared at Liang Qiu fixedly.

She could tell that Liang Qiu was clearly using his position to take revenge!

Upon returning to Snow Wind Ridge this time round, she would definitely punish Liang Qiu severely!

Liang Qiu did not dare to meet Xia Qingying’s gaze.

He had long known about his situation and knew that he would be punished upon returning to Snow Wind Ridge. As such, he had already sought out Chen Xuanyang in secret upon arriving at Blood Sun Valley.

That was the reason for the banquet today.

Chen Xuanyang smiled. “Killing him directly is way too arbitrary. In my opinion, we should detain this person for the time being and interrogate him to find out his background before making a decision.”

Although Chen Xuanyang was smiling on the surface, he was already filled with killing intent internally!

If Su Zimo was truly detained, he would not be the only one deciding how to deal with him!

“No!”

Xia Qingying shook her head still.

Suddenly, Su Zimo said, “Are you suspecting that I’m related to the Evil Wolf Army?”

“That’s right!”

Liang Qiu sneered, “Don’t think that you can prove your innocence just by killing dozens of the Evil Wolf Army!”

“Is that so?”

Su Zimo smiled at Liang Qiu and said coldly, “I didn’t just kill dozens of the Evil Wolf Army…”

At that point, Su Zimo paused for a moment and suddenly took out a storage bag. With a thought of his spirit consciousness, he removed everything from the storage bag!

Instantly, blood qi filled the entire hall!

Hundreds of corpses of the Evil Wolf Army and hundreds of Black Scale Fiend Wolves were piled in the hall, dripping with blood in a shocking manner!

All of them died tragically.

Some of them were sliced into two.

Some of them were riddled with holes by sharp weapons!

Some of them died with widened eyes with deep fear in their eyes—it was unknown what they experienced!

Psst!

Everyone in the hall gasped with shocked expressions!
