Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 125 - 119 Hardline Attitude
Qin Chang suddenly made his move, furiously rebuking Qin Qing.
At the same time, many other elders from the East Campus were also opening their mouths.
"This Qin Qing is truly malicious at heart! Knowing full well that operating the formation would draw all the Thousand Mechanism Puppets toward the disciples of the East Campus, he didn’t show the slightest concern!"
"So many disciples of the East Campus have died or been injured, all because of him. The Lightning Puppet was also lured into our midst by him. This Qin Qing is utterly sinful!"
"I propose we execute him immediately, to uphold the rules of the Great Qian Martial Institute!"
One didn’t need to think too hard to know that at this moment, these elders from the East Campus all harbored deep hatred for Qin Qing.
It was well-known that among the disciples who died, many were relatives or had some connections with these elders from the East Campus.
And the death of these disciples was directly related to Qin Qing. In the eyes of these elders, the disciples of the East Campus were killed by Qin Qing.
It seemed they had already forgotten that before this, it was precisely because they wanted to put Qin Qing to death that such a conclusion ensued!
"Qin Qing!" From the West Courtyard, an elder suddenly stood up, pointing angrily at Qin Qing.
This elder was none other than Guan Hao.
"So many disciples of the Great Qian Martial Institute have died or been injured today, do you realize the enormity of your crime?"
Guan Hao glared with wide eyes, pointing at Qin Qing, "Still not kneeling down and awaiting punishment!"
Furthermore, Shangguan Jian, Jun Tiance, and others were all looking coldly towards Qin Qing.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Especially for the disciples of the West Courtyard, seeing that many institute heads and elders were taking action against Qin Qing at the same time, for a while, they really didn’t know what to do.
However, Qin Qing remained indifferent.
Then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he swept his gaze over everyone:
"Respectable Institute Heads and Elders. Everything that happened in the Thousand Mechanism Valley was witnessed by all of you, and any clear-eyed person should know it wasn’t my fault!"
"Firstly, among the disciples of the East Campus, there were unexpectedly three Spiritual Array Masters, and at least Second Rank Spiritual Array Masters at that!"
"Upon entering the Thousand Mechanism Valley, these three Spiritual Array Masters quickly found the formation’s eye and operated the Thousand Machines Array, directing all puppets to besiege us, the disciples of the West Courtyard!"
"What I, Qin Qing, want to ask is..."
"Why were these three Spiritual Array Masters able to find the formation’s eye in such a short time, and why are they so familiar with the Thousand Machines Array?"
Qin Qing’s words were like a giant stone cast into a lake,
causing waves of shock to rise within everyone’s heart.
Of course, many had already noticed this, but even more people hadn’t realized it until Qin Qing pointed it out, leading to their sudden enlightenment.
Especially the disciples of the Great Qian Martial Institute, who originally didn’t have a clear understanding, but now, hearing what Qin Qing said, naturally began to suspect all kinds of possibilities.
Why would new disciples from the East Campus happen to include three Second Rank Spiritual Array Masters?
One must know that within the Great Qian Dynasty, Second Rank Spiritual Array Masters already hold a certain status and position, sometimes even higher than that of Divine Might Realm Great Martial Masters.
Moreover, these three Spiritual Pattern Masters were all very young. Such young Spiritual Pattern Masters, unless intentionally gathered, could not possibly appear together like this...
The most crucial point is that these three Spiritual Pattern Masters, upon entering the Thousand Mechanism Valley, efficiently went to the location of the formation’s eye together, operating a part of the Thousand Machines Array in an extremely short amount of time!
"So... everyone, all brothers, sisters, junior sisters, you all should be able to guess that, behind the scenes, someone is manipulating this situation!"
"And the purpose of the person behind the scenes is very clear, to eliminate me, Qin Qing!"
"Three months ago, during the entrance assessment, there was already someone who was unscrupulous in trying to kill me in the secret realm, the outcome of which you all know..."
"And this time, the person who wants to deal with me has again failed to steal a chicken without losing a handful of rice. Elder Guan..." Qin Qing’s eyes turned to Guan Hao, a hint of mocking smile appeared on his face, "Wouldn’t you agree?"
Guan Hao’s complexion was terrible, and so was that of Qin Chang and others, unable to maintain their façade.
Qin Qing accused so pointedly, it was only a hair’s breadth from poking someone in the nose and naming names.
"Qin Qing, your accusations lack any proof. On the contrary, you have used the formation to harm your fellow disciples. Moreover, East Campus disciple Ning Qingqing was directly killed by your spear, witnessed by all disciples of the Great Qian Martial Institute. Could that possibly be false?" Guan Hao angrily denounced.
"That’s right!" Qin Qing held his head high. "Ning Qingqing indeed died by my hand! But..."
"Enough!" Guan Hao cut off Qin Qing’s words. "Since you admit it yourself, there’s no need to say more! Guards, take him down!"
No sooner had Guan Hao’s words finished than a Law Enforcement Elder stepped forward, ready to seize Qin Qing on the spot!
"I would like to see who dares!"
Bai Qiuhe stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Qin Qing.
Around him, a sword Qi enveloped, seemingly containing an extremely powerful murderous intent, as if it could burst forth at any moment.
"My disciple, Qin Qing, indeed killed East Campus disciple Ning Qingqing, but as everyone clearly saw, before that, it was Ning Qingqing who shot a hidden arrow, trying to take my disciple’s life! Are you saying that Ning Qingqing is allowed to kill my disciple, and my disciple is not allowed to fight back?"
Bai Qiuhe’s voice was ice-cold, with killing intent surging, as if he would draw his sword and kill at the slightest disagreement.
Especially those sharp eyes of his, like piercing Sword Qi, once they landed on Guan Hao, the latter immediately fell silent, a chilling coldness rising from his spine in an instant, as if enveloped by the cold.
The surrounding East Courtyard Elders all subconsciously circulated their Spiritual Energy within their bodies to resist this terrifying murderous presence.
This was the demeanor of a Sword Immortal; without even drawing the sword, the sheer aura was enough to instill fear.
At this moment, Xu Fang also spoke up: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I think you are overstepping! Qin Qing did indeed kill a disciple of the East Campus, and manipulated the formation, causing many East Campus disciples to suffer heavy casualties! However, it was the disciples of the East Campus who attacked first. Qin Qing and the other West Courtyard disciples merely turned the East Campus disciples’ tactics back on them!"
"Furthermore!"
Xu Fang’s aura also became more overbearing. "This Great Qian Martial Institute is not just at the behest of a few elders from the East and West Courtyards. Whether Qin Qing can be punished has not yet been up to me, Xu Fang, to decide! Do you not take me, Xu Fang, into consideration?"
With these words, an extremely majestic presence began to emanate from Xu Fang.
In the air, divine light enveloped the heavens and earth.
This was the presence of a Nascent Soul Ancestor!
"I’ve said before, let the disciples resolve their conflicts among themselves! Now, the East Courtyard is unable to defeat the West Courtyard disciples and wants to break the agreement? Do such a thing only after checking if I, Xu Fang, agree or not!"
Xu Fang’s voice echoed across the Martial Arts Ground.
His stance was very tough.
This made Qin Chang and others from the East Courtyard suddenly realize, Xu Fang had returned!
The faction he represented from the West Courtyard had been silent enough for many to nearly forget they existed over these past few years.
However, this time, with the emergence of the disciple Qin Qing, it seemed that the West Courtyard faction might be poised for a powerful comeback!
"No!"
"We absolutely cannot let this happen!"
Qin Chang’s eyes flickered, and he soon shifted his gaze back onto Qin Qing.
He had realized that in the struggle between East and West Courtyards, the chess piece that was Qin Qing was crucial.
It seemed, this no-name young fellow had begun to influence the entire game.
His fate also appeared to be rekindling the fortunes of the West Courtyard!
"No matter what, to crush the West Courtyard and completely defeat the West Courtyard faction led by Xu Fang, we must first defeat Qin Qing. Ideally, in the next round of competition, to completely eliminate him!" Qin Chang thought to himself, then, with a decision made, he sneered and said, "Fine, Xu Fang. Since everything’s out in the open, let’s settle it in the next round."
