Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 225: Deny with all our might

Of course the matter didn’t end just because we were back.

It was quiet for a few days since we had come back before everyone else, but it didn’t take long for people to find out about the collapse in the Void Battlefield.

As more and more of the disciples of the large sects came back, they brought news about what had happened inside of the Void Battlefield.

It took no time for the Central Sect Alliance to move.

Though the only thing that they could do was create an investigation team to find out what happened.

Half of this investigation team went into the Void Battlefield to see firsthand what the damages were and the other half of the investigation team stayed outside.

The half of the team that stayed outside only had one task.

It was to question the disciples who had gone into the Void Battlefield.

That included our group.

If they knew what had happened, they would have known that we were the only ones that could answer their questions.

However, it didn’t seem like they knew anything.

The investigation team didn’t seem to care that much as they asked us questions, so we were able to pretend like we didn’t know a single thing about all of this.

I had made sure to tell the others to deny everything with all their might no matter what happened.

The one that I was really worried about was Mu Bao Bao, but it turned out that she was the easiest one. They didn’t actually dare question her too extensively since she just showed her aura and a bored expression.

So they just left her alone most of the time and directed their questions to us.

Since we had been cleared of their suspicion, we were allowed to leave in the end.

The other sects also left since it didn’t seem likely that any of them could have caused such a large mess.

The disciples were only so powerful, so it didn’t seem likely that they would be able to cause the collapse of a place like the Void Battlefield.

Or at least that was what most of the sect masters in the Central Sect Alliance thought.

But it was different for a certain sect master and a certain great elder.

They had remained silent while still at the Mount Hua Sect, but the moment that they left the Mount Hua Sect...

"It was you, wasn’t it?"

Both of them said this to me. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

I looked at the two of them with a calm look on my face as I said, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

Though I had a calm look on my face, there was a part of me that was worried.

After all, I never thought that they would ask such a thing to me.

I didn’t even think that they would be doubtful towards me since they didn’t know a single thing.

I paused for a moment before slowly turning to look at Liu Ao Xue.

She was the only one that I could think of that would have revealed this secret to them.

When she saw me looking at her, she quickly shook her head to show that it wasn’t her.

So the only thing that I could do was look at the lackeys since I knew that it was impossible for Mu Bao Bao to tell them anything.

The lackeys also quickly shook their heads when they saw me looking at them like this.

Both Liu Han and Yao Fu immediately gave sighs before Liu Han said, "There’s no need to look at them like that. It’s clear that something would have happened if you went into the Void Battlefield, we’re already used to it."

Yao Fu gave a bitter chuckle as he said, "In fact, we were already expecting it. It would have been stranger if nothing happened."

"Right?" Liu Han also gave a bitter chuckle as he said this.

I looked at the two of them with a strange look as I thought to myself...

"What kind of image do you have of me?"

What I didn’t know was that the image that they had of me was the worst it could be.

The ultimate troublemaker!

After looking at them for a bit, I said with a sigh, "It’s not something that can be discussed out in the open like this and it’s a secret that I want to..."

Before I could say the word ’keep’, Mu Huang suddenly jumped on my back to my surprise.

He took a whiff of me and said, "There’s this strange scent coming from you...Well, not so much as a strange scent, but rather a strange feeling. It’s like you’re covered in blood or something. Just what happened in the Void Battlefield?"

I was surprised to hear this, but then I thought that if it was Mu Huang...perhaps he would be able to give me an answer.

I didn’t say anything at first as I organized my thoughts, but then I asked, "Have you ever heard of someone called the War God before?"

Mu Huang looked a bit confused when he heard this before slowly shaking his head.

There were many people that called themselves a war god or something similar in the upper realms, but Mu Huang knew that this wasn’t the kind of thing that Lin Fan was looking for.

He was most likely looking for something else.

I was a bit disappointed when I heard this before shaking my head and saying, "Then forget it, it’s nothing." After a pause, I still asked, "What do you know about the Deity Realm?"

This time, Mu Huang’s reaction was completely different from before.

There was a look of shock on his face before he slowly said, "This isn’t something that can be discussed that easily."

It seemed that he had picked something up from just this single question.

As expected of someone who ruled over an entire upper realm.

After a long pause, Mu Huang said, "Let me contact Grandpa Bao. There are some things that I need to discuss with him first."

I slowly gave a nod in response.
