Chapter 743: The Culprit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although the First Elder was very unwilling to face this reality directly, the truth was right in front of him. No matter what, he had to believe it.
“Actually, we can put it another way. Everyone’s death that day was because of Ling Yue. No matter what happened at the event location that we don’t know, it was indeed her bomb that ended everyone’s lives.”
The First Elder said this very unwillingly, “Based on the evidence I’ve found so far, the spearhead of this matter is all pointed at Ling Yue. She’s the culprit who killed everyone.”
“No, that’s absolutely impossible. Ling Yue would never do such a thing. You’ve seen her grow up. You know best what kind of person she is.”
The First Elder’s words had no credibility with him. Iluo Jue imdiately denied it. “The organization is her ho since she was young. She’s lived here for more than ten years. How could she do such a thing?”
“Of course, 1 don’t believe that Ling Yue killed them either. But evidence speaks for everything. That’s why I investigated desperately, hoping to find evidence to absolve her.”
The First Elder’s tone gradually beca agitated. “Very few people know about this at the mont, but paper can’t hide fire. Once this news is leaked to the organization, 1 don’t dare to imagine what will happen.”
“That day won’t co. Believe . As long as I’m here, Ling Yue won’t be able to bear this accusation.” Huo Jue’s tone was very firm, as if he had made up his mind. “Everyone in the organization is silent about this matter now. 1 still have a chance to turn the tide.”
The First Elder said, “This matter shocked the entire organization at that ti. Why do you think no one dares to ntion this again?”
Iluo Jue’s eyes widened. “Could it be that you…”
“That’s right. 1 never thought I’d forbid anyone from discussing it, but since I investigated the cause of their deaths and discovered that there were already such rumors in the organization, 1 had no choice but to start controlling them.”
The First Elder’s eyes revealed a trace of killing intent. “And this behavior has been approved by Sect Master Ji Chen. The so-called mastermind is Sect Master Ji Chen and . I didn’t tell you at first, but I think with your relationship with Ling Yue, you should have the right to know about this.” “Thank you, First Elder. With your words, 1 feel much more at ease. At least I know the only news about Ling Yue.”
Iluo Jue composed himself. “i?know what to do. Don’t worry.” With that, Huo Jue left the room. His eyes were still shining with confidence, as if he already had a rough plan in mind.
When Huo Jue returned to his office, he waved his hand at the dark corner of the room. Right on the heels of that, a figure appeared from the darkness. He lowered his head slightly and crossed his hands in front of his chest. “Elder Huo, Shadow is here to report. What can I do for you?”
The so-called shadows were the most capable generals by each elder’s side. Due to the special nature of the organization, they were collectively called shadows. Their skills were not sothing ordinary assassins could compare to. They could even exchange two moves with their respective elders.
“I haven’t activated you for many years. The impact of today’s situation is too great, so i won’t be at ease if I don’t hand it to you.” Huo Jue’s attitude was very serious. One could feel the absolute pressure in his words. “In short, you have to be ntally prepared. Be 120% alert.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Huo. From the mont you used , i knew how serious this matter was. After all, with my ability, it’s not worth it for to take action on sothing too simple.”
“That’s right. After so long, you’re still as confident as you were back then. I can rest assured when 1 hand this matter to you.”
Huo Jue slowly raised his dry lips.. “I wonder if you still rember that child, Ling Yue?”
