#245 - Shifting the blame

The video played on, everything still appearing normal.

Especially to the Li family members, who simply thought Li Er was on good terms with Wang Chenghai, and was seeing him off.

In the sky, all the Tribulation realm experts sensed something abnormal from the words of the soldiers guarding in the video.

Logically speaking, a figure like Wang Chenghai shouldn't be hindered in the slightest when leaving the Great Ming Imperial Capital.

But the reality was quite the opposite, not only was he hindered, but he was even explicitly forbidden from leaving the Great Ming Imperial Capital.

Upon careful consideration, this matter revealed something unusual.

Wang Tian frowned slightly and transmitted his voice to Jiang Yu, "It seems the Li family has truly crossed the line."

Jiang Yu sighed, "It's hard to know a person's heart, even after all these years of contact with Li Yuan, we didn't notice a single trace."

Wang Tian and Jiang Yu didn't believe Li Er's words about being on good terms with Wang Chenghai in the slightest.

A seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's gate, the Li family's butler's status isn't low, but it's still far from the level of the Second Dean of the Great Ming Academy.

It was highly improbable that the two would have any contact; the possibility of such a thing happening was negligible.

Li Er's words and Li Yuan's strenuous rebuttals both revealed a hint of insufficient confidence.

The jade stone image continued to play, showing Wang Chenghai being received by six Tribulation realm experts from the Great Qin Dynasty.

Everyone watched Wang Chenghai standing in the center of the teleportation array, about to leave the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.

Once such a figure was allowed to leave, the consequences were unimaginable.

With the Great Qin Dynasty woman counting down, and only one second left.

The hearts of everyone watching the video were in their throats, when He Yan and Qin Buyi appeared in the picture.

Immediately afterward, the two sides disagreed, and Qin Buyi killed seven Tribulation realm experts with a single strike.

The video ended after the death of the seven Tribulation realm experts.

All eyes focused on Qin Buyi in the sky, revealing shock and disbelief!

Even Ying Gan's hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly, obviously his heart was not at peace.

Hundreds of Tribulation realm experts in the sky felt a chill in their throats when they saw that strike, and whispered to those around them.

"I don't understand Qin Buyi's combat power."

"To kill seven Tribulation realm experts so easily with one strike! Too terrifying."

"What kind of monster is this? If I remember correctly, this person was still in the Integration realm less than half a year ago, right?"

"How long has it been? Killing Tribulation realm experts is like slaughtering chickens and sheep?"

"I suddenly feel that my hard-earned Tribulation realm cultivation is so fragile and so vulnerable."

Wang Tian murmured, "One strike to kill seven Tribulation realm experts, Wang Chenghai, a late-stage Tribulation realm expert, didn't even get a chance to make a move before he died."

"Doesn't this mean that if Qin Buyi wants to kill me, it would be as easy as pie?"

Jiang Yu's face was a little bitter, "Not long ago, when he broke through to the Tribulation realm, we estimated that his combat power was similar to ours, but now it seems that it's much different."

Wang Tian carefully sensed the aura on Qin Buyi's body in the sky, and after a long time, said, "No wonder, it turns out he has broken through to the mid-Tribulation realm."

"Mid-Tribulation realm! Has it been a month since he passed the lightning tribulation? This speed is too..." Jiang Yu was a little speechless.

Ying Zhi, who was beside the two, was very calm, with no change in his expression.

Not only that, but within Wang Tian and Jiang Yu's perception, Ying Zhi's heartbeat was within the normal range, even half a beat slower.

This was true calmness!

Wang Tian and Jiang Yu stared at the calm Ying Zhi, looking him up and down.

Ying Zhi felt very uncomfortable being watched by the two, and asked, "Clan Leader Wang, Clan Leader Jiang, is there anything wrong?"

Wang Tian couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness Ying Zhi, aren't you a little surprised by Qin Buyi's terrifying combat power?"

Ying Zhi asked strangely, "Surprised? Surprised about what? For Brother Qin, isn't this a normal thing?"

At the same time, Ying Zhi complained in his heart, "You guys are so ignorant, Brother Qin's daily basic operations, look at how shocked you are."

Wang Tian and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and could feel the speechlessness in each other's hearts.

The two looked at Ying Zhi, wondering if they were making a fuss over nothing, or if Ying Zhi was too calm.

After a few breaths, everyone gradually recovered from Qin Buyi's shocking strike.

Everyone present deeply hated Wang Chenghai's act of defecting to the enemy.

At this time, everyone understood why Wang Chenghai was forbidden from leaving the Great Ming Imperial Capital.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes gathered on the Li family.

If Wang Chenghai was really going to deal with urgent matters, it wouldn't be a big deal for Li Er to help him leave the Great Ming Imperial Capital.

But the situation was not like that; Wang Chenghai was going to defect to the Great Qin Dynasty.

The evidence recorded in the jade stone completely confirmed this.

The Li family's involvement in this matter couldn't help but make everyone's thoughts fly...

He Yan shouted, "Li Yuan, this is the explanation for me and Dean Qin Buyi coming to your Li family without saying hello, are you satisfied?"

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Li Yuan looked dazed and said, "I really don't know about this, Li Er, come over here and explain this matter clearly to me!"

"Otherwise, I will personally kill you now!"

Li Er walked forward with a look of fear, crying bitterly, "Clan Leader, I was bewitched."

"I received various benefits from the Great Qin Dynasty, and couldn't control myself for a while, doing such a foolish thing. Clan Leader, my death is not a pity!"

A trace of killing intent flashed across Li Yuan's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Er, I have treated you well for so many years, but you have done such a thing!"

"Now, with all the experts in the Great Ming Imperial Capital watching, where have you placed my Li family? What face will my Li family have to stand in the Great Ming Dynasty in the future?"

Li Er looked determined to die, and said to the onlookers, "This matter was done by me, Li Er, alone, and has nothing to do with the Li family."

"It was a mistake I, Li Er, made in a moment of confusion, and I will bear it alone."

After Li Er finished speaking, the aura on his body suddenly weakened rapidly.

A trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and in less than a breath, Li Er turned into a pool of pus...

Most of the Li family members below had pale faces. Li Er's actions undoubtedly put the entire Li family on the fire to roast.

This made most of the Li family members feel angry and confused about the future.

Involved in serious matters, even the Li family would not escape the fate of destruction if they did not give a perfect explanation.

And a few Li family executives had flickering eyes, wondering what they were thinking.

After Li Er died, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Regarding Wang Chenghai's matter, there were only two people who knew the truth, one was Li Er, and the other was him.

Now that Li Er is dead, it is equivalent to death without proof.

He, Li Yuan, can say whatever he wants, and can push all the responsibility to Li Er.

Li Yuan's expression was a little gloomy, "I didn't expect that such a traitor would appear in my Li family, it's really damn!"

After a pause, Li Yuan said to He Yan, "Dean He Yan, I understand the intention of you and Dean Qin Buyi."

"I didn't expect that there was a problem within my Li family this time, and I apologize for this."
