79 Cutting the Stomach?
The old and rotten debts between the two sides were huge. Now that they were quarreling, they would probably not be able to finish even after three days and three nights.
“Senior Brother, what happened to the man who died in the Thunderbolt Dojo?” Qin Huai moved to Qi Yangbing’s side.
Qi Yangbing chose his words carefully. “It’s about a missing warrior from the Thunderbolt Dojo two nights ago. It’s similar to Zhang Si’s case.”
“Almost the same?” Qin Huai’s thoughts also started to become bolder.
Li Bowu might have fallen into the Sacred Heart sect and started eating people for the grand martial competition, and the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo could do the same.
His guess might not be wrong. It was just that there was an extra Li Bowu in the Thunderbolt Dojo.
Qin Huai’s gaze was fixed on Bai Yusheng and Cao Wang.
Those who had the opportunity to have a bright future with the Sacred Heart sect’s techniques were none other than the few people who were originally on the eight martial roll.
On the side of the Changshan Dojo, it was him, Qi Yangbing, and Li Bowu.
On the side of the Thunderbolt Dojo were Reihom, Bai Yusheng, Cao Wang, and Gu Elephant, who was ranked 17th.
The truth had finally come to light in his own dojo. Who was it from the Thunderbolt Dojo?
Although Qin Huai was happy to see the destruction of Thunderbolt Dojo, it was obviously not the time yet. He still needed to consolidate their experience to increase his combat power.
“Everyone, quiet down, quiet down!” Bai Yusheng suddenly said, causing everyone to look over. “Now, people from the Changshan Dojo are not the only victims. Even my Thunderbolt Dojo has suffered. Right now, we can put aside the grudges between the two dojos. The most important thing is to find the culprit who ate people.”
Qi Yangbing chimed in, “You’re right. However, it’s not easy to find the real culprit. Our Changshan Dojo has lost more than ten people in the past half a month. We still have no clue.”
Qi Yangbing was also eager to solve the case, so he temporarily put aside his hostility for the Thunderbolt Dojo.
Bai Yusheng smiled. “Actually, it’s not difficult to find the murderer. As far as I know, the evil man-eating technique of the Sacred Heart sect can increase the cultivation speed of cultivators. The more they kill, the faster they will improve.”
Bai Yusheng slowly walked in the middle, his sharp and strategic gaze sweeping across everyone like a blade. In the end, he stopped in front of Qin Huai.
“Then we just need to lock onto those who have entered the mine recently and have a fast cultivation speed. What do you think, Qin Huai?”
His sharp eyes stared straight into Qin Huai’s eyes, as if he had already seen through Qin Huai.
“It seems… It does make sense,” someone in the crowd spoke.
Not only the fighters of the Thunderbolt Dojo, but even the fighters of the Changshan Dojo also secretly glanced at Qin Huai after listening to the analysis.
“That’s impossible. Ever since Junior Brother Qin entered the dojo, he has been advancing at lightning speed. Why didn’t I see anyone die?”
The one who immediately retorted was Li Bowu.
“Then how do you know that so many mountain bandits outside the city are still alive? Maybe he’s using the lives and blood of the mountain bandits as nourishment? Now that the mountain bandits have been cleared out by the city lord’s mansion’s army, Qin Huai no longer has any blood and food to provide him with nourishment. That’s why he was forced to take the risk and lay his hands on the martial artists of our dojos!” Bai Yusheng pressed on.
This group of people did not know much about the Sacred Heart sect anyway. They didn’t understand that only those who cultivated the qi circulation technique could become nourishment for the advancement of the qi circulation technique.
As long as he poured all the dirty water on Qin Huai first, if he died, then he would have one less formidable opponent in the grand martial competition. If he was alive, he was destined to be suspected by countless people, who would share the pressure with him and Li Bowu.
All in all, Qin Huai was the scapegoat for the two of them. This was a brilliant plan that killed two birds with one stone.
Hearing Bai Yusheng’s words, the surrounding people were even more speechless. This was because Qin Huai’s speed of advancement was indeed unheard of.
Now that this had happened, coupled with Bai Yusheng’s instigation, he had no choice. It was hard not to be suspicious.
“Impossible! Senior Brother Qin would never do such a thing!” Sun Ziyao shouted from the crowd.
“Words are not proof. Why don’t you prove your innocence, Qin Huai?” Bai Yusheng sneered.
Qin Huai looked at Bai Yusheng, his expression unchanged from the beginning to the end. “How do you want me to prove my innocence?”
“Well…” Li Bowu suddenly interjected in a low voice, “I’ve also been frantically searching for news about the Sacred Heart sect these days. I did hear from a friend in Lingjiang county that there’s such a strange trick that can be used to distinguish whether a person is a Sacred Heart believer… I just don’t know if I should tell you about this method.”
Li Bowu stammered, as if he was struggling.
“Quick, tell us!” Sun Ziyao blurted out. He couldn’t wait to prove Qin Huai’s innocence.
Qin Huai also looked at Li Bowu, not knowing what kind of tricks this true Sacred Heart believer would come up with.
“I heard… After a Sacred Heart sect believer eats a person, the inside of his stomach will turn green. As long as… As long as we cut Senior Brother Qin’s stomach open, we’ll know if he’s a disciple of the Sacred Heart sect or not.” After Li Bowu finished speaking, he looked left and right, then added, “Of course, I’m just saying.”
“What are you saying?! Cutting the stomach? Isn’t this asking for Senior Brother Qin’s death?!” Sun Ziyao’s face turned red with anger. He knew that he had spoken too hastily and did not think before speaking.
