Following the path he had taken, Qin Shi quickly returned to Lihuo Peak.

”Shitou, wait a moment. Before you go back, you should first consider how to explain it.” After entering the sect, Burning Heaven Clan's Qin Shi trembled a few times. Within the book, Yu was dressed in white and floated out like a fairy.

”An explanation?”

Qin Shi blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, ”What do you want me to explain?”

”Cui Yunhai! Tears of Crystals!”

With a pause, the book recited two names.

When he heard the two words, Qin Shi's heart froze for a moment before becoming heavy. He had forgotten that when he left the sect this time, in order to prevent Cui Yunhai from harming him, he had purposely let the entire sect know that he and Cui Yunhai had gone out together.

Could it be that he wanted to speak the truth?

Cui Yunhai was an elder of a sect, but he was only a new disciple that hadn't even been in the sect for a month. Who would believe him? Thinking of this, he could not help but feel upset and scolded, ”Damn, aren't I cheating? ”Now you're done, digging a hole?”

Moreover, as the first rank of the Contribution Points Board, Tears of Crystals had suddenly disappeared from the Contribution Points Board. Moreover, as the first rank of the Contribution Points Board, Tears of Crystals had suddenly disappeared from the Contribution Points Board.

Realizing this, he stopped and leaned against an old tree in the woods. The lazy sunlight spread through the sparse foliage and blotched his face. His face was grave, his thoughts racing through his mind like a wild horse on a leash.

”As for the Netherworld Sword, after we return to the sect, do not mention it to anyone else.” Seeing Qin Shi ponder over it seriously, the young man in the book blinked his eyes and added, ”As the saying goes, one must have a strong defense against others. Although an Emperor Soul Tool is nothing in the entire continent, it is still a priceless treasure in this ancient city.

Qin Shi nodded. He understood all of this. A single Emperor Soul Tool was worth going crazy over. Moreover, he still had the Bloodthirsty Sword and the azure-blooded sword. As long as there was no other choice, he absolutely could not reveal the Netherworld Sword.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi's eyes flashed.

”I got it, let's talk about the Tears of Crystals secret plane. I said there was a mechanism in the secret plane that killed Cui Yunhai, and it was just the two of us at that time anyway. Furthermore, given my level of power, there is no way I could possibly endanger Cui Yunhai, nor would anyone suspect me. ” Thinking of this, he deliberately left a few wounds on his body, tearing his clothes to shreds. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and strut back to the Li Huo Sect.

As soon as he entered the sect, his figure attracted countless pairs of eyes.

”See? He is Qin Shi. ”

”He is Qin Shi? Didn't I hear that he went out with Elder Cui? Why did you come back yourself? ”

”I don't know, but I've heard that he was the one who exchanged the Tears of Crystals.”

”Definitely, if he could casually take out a hundred thousand contribution points, there probably wouldn't be a second person in the sect besides him, right?”

”That's right. Tears of Crystals, they must be some kind of peerless treasure, right? ”Sigh, if only I could have it.” Whispers of discussion kept falling into Qin Shi's ears. This made him even more certain that the Li Huo Sect had exploded.

Thinking of this, he was secretly glad, ”Thanks to Sister Yu's reminder, if I had come back recklessly, I really wouldn't have been able to explain it. I don't know how to answer them.” Thinking of this, he ignored this group of disciples and directly walked towards the inner sect.

The moment they entered the inner sect, Su Ming, Lin Yu, and Qin Shang ran over from their respective rooms. When the three of them saw Qin Shi, excitement appeared on their faces at the same time, especially Su Ming's. This time you're in the limelight. ”Come, come, come. Quickly tell me, what kind of treasure is this Crystal Tears?”

Qin Shi shook his head with a bitter smile.

”Brother Niu Pi, stop messing around.” Lin Yu cast a glance at Su Ming and said straightforwardly, ”Shitou, the head of the Cloudsoaring sect is looking for you. He told you to look for him in the hall when you returned.”

Qin Shi was not surprised since he had long since expected Ling Xiao to look for him. He only nodded his head.

With that, the four of them headed towards the Sect Leader's main hall.

In the grand hall of the Sect Leader, Ling Xiao closed his eyes and sat upright to recuperate. He heard their footsteps and slightly opened his dark eyes. He gave the people a clear feeling and said, ”Brat, you're back? ”Do you know why I'm looking for you?”

Qin Shi was stunned. Of course he knew that Ling Xiao was going to ask about the Tears of Crystals, but he was not stupid. ”Great Leader, I will not be looking for you. As soon as I returned to the sect, I immediately came to see you. How could I have guessed that you were looking for me for something?”

Looking at Qin Shi's innocent expression, Ling Xiao bitterly smiled and shook his head, ”You brat, continue pretending. You exchanged them for the Tears of Crystals, didn't you?”

It really was the Tears of Crystal.

Qin Shi pursed his lips and said bluntly, ”Reporting to Sect Leader, I have indeed exchanged for Tears of Crystals.”

Standing up, Ling Xiao nodded on the Dragon Throne, and looked around. Finally, his gaze landed on Qin Shi, and he suddenly said something that caused the crowd to explode, ”Haha, it seems like my guess is correct. Cui Yunhai did not come back with you, but he is already dead, right?”

”Hiss, hiss, hiss ~ ~ ~”

A chilling aura.

The people in the crowd widened their mouths at the same time. Lin Yu, Su Ming, and Qin Shang all stared at Qin Shi, waiting for his reply. Qin Shi was also dumbfounded. He blinked his eyes with all his might and was speechless for a moment.

Originally, he had guessed that Ling Xiao would ask these questions and come up with a good excuse to deal with Ling Xiao, but who would have thought that Ling Xiao would go off track and completely play cards? He was immediately caught off guard. ”Leader, Sect Leader, why did you …”

”Hur hur, you want to ask, how would I know?” Without waiting for Qin Shi to finish, Ling Xiao waved his sleeves and interrupted him, ”Actually, it's not strange. Cui Yunhai peeked at the Tears of Crystals for a long time, I already knew about it. Now that you exchanged the Tears of Crystals, you two have left in secret.”
