#221 - Qinglong: Why are you blaming me for this?

"Holy crap! Magneto Ethan was killed?"

"Really? Seriously? That's a King-level powerhouse! He can be killed too?"

"It's true. My aunt's cousin's aunt's son works in the Ugly Federation, and he said the news is real."

"The news is real. There are pictures online. The entire Ethan Manor has been razed to the ground... No, it's turned into a super sinkhole."

"Unbelievable, there's actually a King-level powerhouse killed on Blue Star? This seems to be the first case, right?"

"Indeed, it's the first case. There have been King-level powerhouse deaths before, but they were in the extraterritorial battlefield. Never before has a King-level powerhouse been killed on Blue Star."

"Every King-level powerhouse is a hegemon, even nuclear bombs can't kill them... This is truly shocking news."

"What I want to know most now is, which great god did it? How could they kill Ethan?"

"I want to know too..."

"Looking at the news from abroad, it seems they all suspect it was someone from our side. The trigger was that Black Ghost with the Flame-Flame Fruit ability. Ethan was protecting him before. To kill the Black Ghost, you can't bypass Magneto."

"Good heavens? To kill that Black Ghost, they also took out Magneto Ethan? Who's so awesome?"

"Could it be related to Song Haitang? Logically speaking, Song Haitang has the biggest motive."

"Can you use your brain a little? Song Haitang has only just left the novice range. What strength does she have now? Can she kill Ethan?"

"If it was really a big shot from our side who took action, I think it's most likely that Azure Dragon. I don't know if you've seen his Dragon Breath video. The destruction caused is very similar to the current scene at Ethan Manor."

"Damn! Now that you mention it, it seems like it really is..."

"Hiss? Could it really be Great God Chen Xuan who took action?"

"Of course it wasn't me!"

Inside a private villa, Chen Xuan hung up the phone, looking somewhat exasperated!

This was already the seventeenth call he'd received asking about it.

Glug glug --

Chen Xuan took a big gulp of wine and then cursed angrily: "Damn it, who the hell did this? Intentionally creating that kind of scene, deliberately trying to cause me trouble, aren't they?"

Sitting opposite Chen Xuan were several friends, who were also frowning at this moment.

They could all testify that Chen Xuan had been drinking with them since noon today and couldn't possibly have gone to the Ugly Federation to kill Ethan.

Besides, in Ethan's territory, killing that guy isn't an easy task.

Once he hides in a pile of steel, there's basically no way to deal with him.

Even if Chen Xuan really went in person, he might not succeed.

"Old Chen, I have to say, if I hadn't been drinking with you all day today, I'd also suspect you did this."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses said while looking at his phone: "The huge pit at the scene of Ethan Manor is too much like your masterpiece."

Chen Xuan became even more exasperated upon hearing this: "Damn it!"

"Those with the strength to do something like this are all impressive figures. There are only a few of them worldwide."

The person who said this was a middle-aged woman.

Although she looked over forty, she still had a charming and very refined air about her.

She sipped her wine and then continued: "Based on their abilities, if we eliminate them slightly, we'll know who it is."

The others thought it made sense and started discussing it.

At the same time.

Zhao Zheng was also in his dorm, watching the comments online.

The time now was 8:30 PM.

He had just sent Song Haitang back to her dorm.

One was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, but he couldn't use that at the time. Once he used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to destroy the body and eliminate traces, it would definitely trigger a super earthquake, causing disasters and focusing the world's attention on him.

Then, there was Iron Fist · Impact. This was the most suitable method to destroy the body and eliminate traces at the time.

He never expected that the resulting destruction would actually be similar to Chen Xuan's Dragon Breath...

Zhao Zheng also specifically searched for a video of Chen Xuan testing Dragon Breath.

The video was easy to find, it was very popular online back then.

After finding the video, Zhao Zheng clicked to play it.

In the video, Chen Xuan transformed into a hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon, soaring into the sky, and then spat a mouthful of phlegm towards a mountain peak.

"Boom!"

The scene of the explosion can be described as earth-shattering.

Not at all smaller than the commotion when Zhao Zheng used "Iron Fist · Impact".

From this, it can also be seen that Chen Xuan's strength has probably surpassed Four Emperor Kaido!

After the explosion subsided, the previous mountain peak was completely gone.

Leaving behind a super sinkhole in its place!

Very similar to the sinkhole Zhao Zheng created in Ethan Manor...

After watching the video, Zhao Zheng was even more helpless.

No wonder netizens suspected Chen Xuan.

If he wasn't the person involved, he would have suspected that Chen Xuan had taken action.

"Chen Xuan, ah Chen Xuan, you can't blame me for this. I really didn't mean to..."

Zhao Zheng had a pretty good impression of Chen Xuan.

He really didn't want Chen Xuan to take the blame for him.

It's just...

He couldn't clear Chen Xuan's name in this matter.

Because he was the one who did it.

Use his real account to clear it?

Unfortunately, his real account was young and insignificant. No one would pay attention to what he said, let alone bring about any change...

So.

This matter could only be like this.

Zhao Zheng originally thought.

This matter would be discussed for a few days, and once the heat passed, it would be fine.

He didn't expect.

The next day, the Ugly Federation sent a luxurious delegation to formally negotiate with Yan Country on the "Ethan Incident"...

It seems that the Ugly Federation was unwilling to lose a King-level powerhouse just like that!

Or rather, was it a face-saving project they had to do in order to suppress the voices of doubt within their country?

Zhao Zheng was very curious about how the higher-ups would respond and what the outcome would be.

Unfortunately, his level was too low now to know.

Then, Chairman Song personally made a trip to the school and had a conversation with Zhao Zheng in his dorm.

For Chairman Song, Zhao Zheng naturally didn't need to hide anything and frankly admitted that he was the murderer who killed Ethan!

"...Uncle Song, I didn't want to kill him either. It was that old bastard who didn't know what was good for him and insisted on standing in my way. I could only get rid of him."

Zhao Zheng looked helpless, which was really irritating.

But Chairman Song couldn't care about these things at the moment.

He was stunned!

Especially after seeing Zhao Zheng's young face, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

After a long time.

Chairman Song calmed down.

He looked at Zhao Zheng and suddenly felt that he was really old. He couldn't help but sigh, said nothing, and turned to leave.
