78 Trying to Prove Their Innocence
“I should have thought of this, I should have thought of this.” Qin Huai suddenly understood. “The strange secret manual that can increase the speed of cultivation I discovered previously was produced by the Sacred Heart sect.
“It proves that the blood heart technique is not the only cultivation technique they can control. As long as they have unique materials and the so-called God’s ability, they can probably replicate any cultivation technique.
“Not only that, they can cultivate on blood. Isn’t the combination of the two the same as Han Zun’s and Li Bowu’s?”
Previously, Qin Huai had not been suspicious of Li Bowu’s sudden breakthrough. That was because he had only thought of the blood heart technique. He had not thought of the fact that the Sacred Heart sect could create strange secret manuals, let alone connect the two together.
But now that he knew about Han Zun, he immediately understood who was responsible for the constant deaths of the disciples of the Changshan Dojo.
Li Bowu could crush a second refinement, and when he started to eat people and saw that it improved his combat strength… He saw the opportunity to get the ranking at the grand martial competition.
The most important thing was that with the death of the long breath martial artists, his cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds.
All the conditions were ultimately aimed at Li Bowu.
“But I don’t have any evidence to expose him now, so I can’t kill him in public,” Qin Huai mumbled. He could only trick him into killing him in the wilderness.
He didn’t want to give Li Bowu a chance to die ‘sincerely convinced,’ because if that happened, who knew how many more people would die? The dojo could not afford it, and he could not afford to delay it.
…
In a remote corner of the White Flow Mountain, Bai Yusheng and Li Bowu, both wearing black robes, met in the depths of the forest.
“Why are you looking for me?” Li Bowu licked the corner of his mouth. Perhaps he had eaten too many people, his face was more fierce than usual.
“I’ve been eating a popular meal these days. The dojo is full of scoundrels. They’re very difficult to deal with, and they’re already planning to make a scene at the Changshan Dojo… I’m afraid that if there are too many people, the two dojos will make a mistake.”
Bai Yusheng had been living in fear for the past two days. He had gotten used to eating people, but he had a guilty conscience.
In addition, he was a pampered rich child from a young age, far from the calmness of a ‘veteran’ like Li Bowu.
“Don’t worry. I’ve been eating for so long. I’m fine, aren’t I?” Li Bowu’s expression was cold, no longer the image of a gentleman in the dojo.
“But it’s indeed time to change. They’ve been afraid these few days and have been hiding at the edge of the mine. I didn’t have a chance to make a move…”
Li Bowu’s eyes flickered. “Maybe we can find a scapegoat. On one hand, I’ll resolve your problem, and on the other hand, I’ll reopen my business.”
“Who is it?” Bai Yusheng asked.
“Qin Huai!” Li Bowu’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “That kid’s rapid progress is in line with the characteristics of the Sacred Heart sect, so using him as a scapegoat is the most suitable…”
He had always been brooding over Qin Huai. He wanted to get rid of him at every moment.
“Can you do it?”
“Just listen to me! This time, even if I don’t die, I’ll cripple him! Torture him! At the very least, he has to open a way out for us.”
…
Qin Huai had just returned to the dojo from the city lord’s mansion.
As soon as he reached the drill ground, he saw a group of people charging in the direction of the mine in anger.
“What’s going on?” Qin Huai stopped one of them.
“Senior Brother Qin, another person died in the mine. However, the ones who died weren’t from our dojo, but from the Thunderbolt Dojo.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Qin Huai was surprised.
The disciple stammered, “You can’t say he’s dead. More accurately, he’s missing. We couldn’t find him all day. Then, the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo heard that we found two bitten fingers in the mine, and so many people have disappeared lately… Then, they said that a troll appeared in our dojo and that we were the ones who did it!”
Qin Huai’s head bobbed up and down as he listened.
The troll should be from their dojo, but why did the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo die? Could it be that he was wrong?
“Let’s go and take a look at the mine.”
A group of people surrounded Qin Huai and quickly walked to the conflict.
This time, the two parties did not choose to fight in the cold and dark mine. Instead, they started a war of words in the iron forest on the ground.
Qin Huai walked to the front. On his side, it was his senior brother Qi Yangbing and Li Bowu.
The leader of the other group was Bai Yusheng, the young master of the Thunderbolt Dojo, whom he had met once in the Drunken Immortal restaurant, and his lackey Cao Wang.
Cao Wang glared at him coldly. He held a folding fan, and the sound of it was like thunder. “In a martial arts competition, it’s normal for there to be life and death, but eating people… This is the Dao of demons!
“Your Changshan Dojo has a good plan. You know you’re in the wrong, so you’re going to accuse the guilty first. Do you want to shut everyone up?”
Li Bowu sneered. “I think you’re the ones who complained first. Eating people is an evil way. Only you guys from the Thunderbolt Dojo who plot against others behind their backs can do it.”
“Senior Brother Li is right. If it weren’t for your master’s despicable actions, how could our master have been injured?”
“Your dojo is good, but why didn’t you mention that Qin Huai actually borrowed the city lord’s troops to attack our master?”
“Wasn’t it also your Hong San who started the fight in the mine? If it wasn’t for Senior Brother Qin’s bravery, you don’t know how many more sins you would have committed!”
The disciples and apprentices of the two big dojos bickered back and forth.
