Chapter 628: Chapter 345: Do You Admit Your Guilt!? (2)

"As we all know, Xiangshan Sea faced a tragedy, wiped out overnight by a group of ruthless villains.

"My friend Sang Qingchen was tortured to death...

"Yet to this day, the perpetrator remains at large!"

Su Ningzhen was originally hiding behind the crowd, staring intently at Han Qiujun, Han Qiuyu, and the others...

Listening to them, she was grinding her teeth in anger.

But now, Liu Zhaonian’s words made her pause slightly.

Why would he bring this up at such a time?

Han Qiujun’s eyes narrowed slightly:

"Liu Zhaonian... I advise you not to beat around the bush!"

"No!"

Liu Zhaonian waved his hand:

"Since Brother Han is here today, let’s address one issue at a time...

"You all know, Liu and Sang Qingchen had a profound friendship. He died for no reason, and naturally, Liu cannot stand by idly.

"I had my incapable son secretly investigate the bloodshed at Xiangshan Sea.

"Perseverance paid off, and today my son Jinghan returned home with something that should not have been found at Xiangshan Sea."

With those words, he took something from his waist and tossed it towards Ouyang Tianxu.

Ouyang Tianxu caught it and glanced at it in his hand:

"A ring?"

Among the Han family, Han Qiuyu suddenly, instinctively, hid his hand in his sleeve.

"Yes, it’s indeed a ring."

Liu Zhaonian said lightly:

"Inside the ring, there’s a character ’Yu’. If I’m not mistaken, this belongs to the third master of the Han family, Han Qiuyu.

"So, is Third Master Han present at the scene today?"

Han Qiuyu wanted to retreat, but Liu Zhaonian’s words made the Ouyang family instinctively search, immediately locking onto his position.

Taking a deep breath, Han Qiuyu stepped out from the crowd, cupping his fists slightly:

"Master Liu, at this point, let’s not engage in cornered-beast struggles.

"A ring—what does it prove?

"I did indeed lose this ring... Even if Cousin Jinghan accidentally found it, who can say it was picked up at Xiangshan Sea?

"Is Master Liu trying to muddy the waters?"

Indeed, there’s no one in the Han family who’s easy to deal with.

His words were both defensive and deflective, implying that Liu Jinghan found his lost ring somewhere and falsely claimed it was from Xiangshan Sea, while Liu Zhaonian made unfounded statements to extricate himself.

Seizing the opportunity to muddy the waters...

If Ouyang Tianxu hadn’t already met Chu Qing, hadn’t seen with his own eyes the Celestial Evil Cult’s attack on Han Yiren, and Celestial Sound Mansion’s rescue...

He might be feeling conflicted right now.

Unable to determine who’s telling the truth or lies between them.

If the story unfolded as Han Qiujun and the others planned, with Celestial Sound Mansion conspiring with the Celestial Evil Cult, what credibility is there?

Most likely, Han Qiuyu’s words would seem more reasonable.

However, Liu Jinghan sneered coldly:

"To say such things, did you forget to bring your brain when you left home?

"If I’m not mistaken, Third Master Han hasn’t left Star Split Mansion lately, except for today, right?

"Xiangshan Sea lies at the boundary of the Supreme Sword Sect and the Xuhua Sect.

"Not only is it far from your Star Split Mansion, but there are the Three Mansions and Three Sects between them.

"I ask you, how could you lose a ring you never take off along my route to investigate Xiangshan Sea?

"And provide us such a good excuse to divert attention?"

Liu Qingyan nodded silently, occasionally glancing at Liu Jinghan with an appreciative look.

But when Liu Jinghan noticed her gaze and turned to look back, he immediately displayed a look of disdain... which made Liu Jinghan furious.

Han Qiuyu was momentarily speechless, frowning deeply:

"That ring... who knows where you found it...

"And who knows, did you really go to Xiangshan Sea?"

"Where I’ve been, a simple investigation will reveal!"

Liu Jinghan said coldly:

"And as for you... if you can’t explain why this ring appeared at Xiangshan Sea, let me help you!

"The massacre at Xiangshan Sea was committed by your Star Split Mansion!

"You snuck away, and everyone thought you were at Star Split Mansion, but secretly appeared miles away, wiped out Xiangshan Sea’s household, and quietly left!

"Han Qiujun, am I right?"

"Impudent!!"

Han Qiujun suddenly looked up at Liu Jinghan:

"Is my name one you can call directly?"

His eyes like stars, even a mere gaze could harm others.

Liu Jinghan, though a true genius, couldn’t withstand Han Qiujun, who mastered the Star Splitting Nine Transformations to the Eighth Grade.

Dangerous instincts surged, sending shivers down his spine.

Unsure of how to respond, a hand had already arrived before him, relocating and repositioning in a single motion.

Looking up again, standing before him was Chu Qing.

And that terrifyingly powerful gaze had silently dissipated.

"What a reputable sect, a hero willing to rid the Martial World of evil, yet just because someone called your name, you intended to kill.

"Indeed, it’s an eye-opener for me.

"Han Qiujun... what’s the big deal about saying your name?

"I can not only say Han Qiujun, but I can also curse you: Han the Dog, Han the Traitor, Han the Shameless!

"What can you possibly do to me?"

Chu Qing squinted his eyes, speaking each word in a way that filled Han Qiujun’s eyes with fierce anger.

As the Mansion Master of Star Split Mansion, when had he ever suffered such an utter humiliation!?

For a moment, even the golden chair was deformed in his grip, gold squeezed out like mud through his fingers:

"And who... might you be?"

"I am Han San!"

Chu Qing cupped his fists with a smile:

"I happen to have something I wish to discuss with everyone...

"This matter has deep roots, fortunately, it just started, and the issue of Star Split Mansion’s massacre at Xiangshan Sea, which you thought was flawlessly hidden, has been discovered long ago.

"Su Ningzhen is the sole surviving disciple of Xiangshan Sea. To exact her revenge, she endured countless hardships. After I learned the truth, I couldn’t bear it...

"Coincidentally, at that time, there was a member of the Han Family in Xiaohan Valley.

"There’s nothing to say about someone who wipes out a family without a conscience. I intercepted him myself.

"Initially planning to confront him with Su Ningzhen to see what’s real and what’s fake, I ended up uncovering a huge secret!

"The one colluding with the Celestial Evil Cult to harm Martial World comrades was not Celestial Sound Mansion, but you, Han Qiujun of Star Split Mansion!

"Using Xiaohan Valley as bait, you instructed Han Yiren to gather a group of Martial World heroes and sent the Celestial Evil Cult’s people, with a blood book of dubious origin, to frame and implicate the Celestial Sound Mansion!

"To condemn Celestial Sound Mansion, you then planned with Liaoyuan Mansion to destroy it in one sweep. Truly, you are a schemer and a strategist!"

"Nonsense..."

Upon hearing Chu Qing introduce himself as ’Han San’, the murderous intent in Han Qiujun’s eyes intensified.

Yet, Chu Qing’s words could not be admitted by him.

Otherwise, today the Han family would face an attack from both Celestial Sound Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion.

"Master Han, don’t be so quick to deny."

Chu Qing chuckled lightly:

"After all, this is a significant matter. Although we have Han Qiuyuan’s confession, I cannot fully trust it.

"Conveniently, since I promised to help Su Ningzhen seek revenge, I naturally wouldn’t break my word. That’s why, after the Xiaohan Valley meeting concluded, I took a trip to Star Split Mansion.

"I imagine Master Han is well aware by now... the Han Qiuzhe you left to guard Star Split Mansion has already been killed by me.

"White Tiger Seven Stars were nothing more than worthless items... unworthy of mention.

"However, from Han Qiuzhe’s words, I obtained the same confession as from Han Qiuyuan."

Liu Zhaonian, hearing this, directly took out something from his waist and raised it high:

"Here’s Han Qiuzhe’s signed blood book before he died!"

He paused slightly, then looked at Han Qiujun:

"At this point, I have one question for you...

"Han Qiujun, do you admit your guilt!?"
