Based on He Jiu's previous actions, Ling Tian could have directly killed He Jiu without saying a word.
But if he didn't find out the person behind He Jiu, the hidden dangers would be too great.
A person who can reach out to Xuanfeng County and instruct He Jiu, the lord of Xuanfeng County, to poison him. A person who is so despicable is definitely not a kind person, and can even be described as insidious.
At this time, He Jiu's face was ashen, but he remained silent.
"Pity!"
Seeing this, Ling Tian sighed again, "He Dong's martial arts talent is quite good. He will definitely pass the selection and join the Wuji Sect this time! However, he now has a father who poisons the Wuji Sect's disciples. I'm afraid the Wuji Sect will not be able to survive."
I will let him join the Wuji Sect again."
"This matter has nothing to do with Dong'er!"
When He Dong was mentioned, He Jiu's expression suddenly changed and he quickly explained.
"I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with him, but unfortunately, it has something to do with you!"
Ling Tian smiled interestingly, "If you are the mastermind of this matter, not only you and He Dong, but the entire He family may be punished! But if you just follow others' orders, you can only be regarded as an accomplice at best, and you may be implicated.
No one else."
He Jiu's expression gradually became complicated.
Ling Tian took the opportunity and said to He Jiu again, "How about it, are you the mastermind behind this matter, or is there someone behind it?"
He Jiu struggled for a while, then slowly raised his head and looked at Ling Tian, "If I tell the truth, can you promise not to hurt Dong'er and allow him to successfully join the Wuji Sect?"
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me!"
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and answered He Jiu in a cold voice.
However, in order to get He Jiu to reveal the person behind it, he still made a promise to He Jiu, "I have always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If you tell the truth, I will consider He Dong's matter."
"It's He Lang!"
After hearing Ling Tian's words, He Jiu immediately told the truth.
"He Lang?"
Ling Tian's expression condensed for a moment.
Of course he knew who He Lang was.
The Wuji Sect competed, and He Lang won the seventh place.
In addition, He Lang is also a famous divine pattern master of the Wuji Sect, and is quite famous in the Wuji Sect.
"It turns out to be this guy."
Ling Tian briefly thought about it for a while, and immediately he was no longer surprised.
In fact, he should have thought long ago that the person who instigated He Jiu would be He Lang.
Although he offended many people in Wuji Sect.
The most powerful among them are Ran Xie and Duanmu Ci.
However, both Ran Xie and Duanmu Ci are elders of the Wuji Sect.
If the two of them wanted to kill him, they would never resort to such despicable means as poisoning.
The only people who can use this method are Wuji Sect disciples.
Among these Wuji Sect disciples, the only one who had a grudge against him and had the ability to instruct He Jiu was He Lang.
"Is it possible that He Lang is also a member of your He family?"
At this time, Ling Tian suddenly remembered something and lowered his head to cast a curious look at He Jiu.
"Not really."
He Jiu shook his head. After telling He Lang's name, he felt a lot more relaxed, "He Lang is from the He family in Beilin County. The ancestors of the He family in Beilin County are the same as the ancestors of my He family in Xuanfeng County."
Blood brothers, but that was more than ten generations ago."
"oh?"
Ling Tian touched his nose, "So, He Lang found you yesterday and asked you to poison me today?"
"yes!"
He Jiu nodded.
"I see."
Ling Tian's eyes flashed with a cold murderous intention.
If He Lang dares to instruct He Jiu to poison him, then he cannot let He Lang continue to live, let alone let He Lang go to Wuji Holy Land with him.
Otherwise, if the other party is in the Wuji Holy Land, it might bring him some trouble.
"Master Lingtian, I have said everything that needs to be said! Can you let me and Dong'er go?"
He Jiu looked at Ling Tian tremblingly, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
Ling Tian heard the sound and glanced at He Jiu and then at He Dong, "He Dong will be fine! But you can't survive! Although He Lang ordered you, you are the one who can do the murder after all. Even if I don't kill you,
If the Wuji Sect learns about this, they will also kill you. For the sake of your truthful confession later, I will give you a decent way to die, so you can commit suicide."
"Suicide..."
He Jiu murmured, and his whole body suddenly seemed to be deflated.
After a few breaths, he slowly raised his palms, and a hint of farewell flashed across his eyes.
"Dad! No!"
He Dong saw that He Jiu was planning to commit suicide and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Dong'er..."
He Jiu glanced at He Dong for the last time, "Dad was confused for a moment! Daddy doesn't want to implicate you..."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jiu struck his head with a decisive palm, causing him to fall down.
"father!"
He Dong screamed in surprise and quickly supported He Jiu.
As the aura on He Jiu dissipated bit by bit, He Dong's face became ferocious. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Ling Tian angrily, growling lowly, "Ling Tian!"
"You don't have to hate me!"
Ling Tian felt the anger on He Dong's body and spread his hands, "I wasn't the one who killed your father, it was He Lang. Your father poisoned me to kill me. No matter whether he succeeded or not, he would not be able to escape the punishment of Wuji Sect.
, you will die sooner or later. Therefore, the person you should really hate should be He Lang."
"He Lang!"
He Dong gritted his teeth and whispered.
He really knew nothing about poisoning Ling Tian before.
But who He Lang was, he had heard a little about it from He Jiu before.
In his anger, he did not completely lose his mind.
After Ling Tian's explanation, he now understood.
The person who really killed his father was He Lang!
"Later, you come back to Wuji Sect with me. I will give you a chance for revenge."
An indifferent voice came out of Ling Tian's mouth.
After that, he ignored He Dong and walked straight past He Dong, but his eyes were directed at Lin He and the other five who were adjusting their breath in the distance.
Lin He and the five others felt Ling Tian's gaze and stood up one after another.
Ling Tian then said to the five of them, "Five of you, all jump onto the bloody platform and engage in a melee. The first person to die on the bloody platform, or the first to leave the bloody platform, will be the most eliminated. There are four left.
, everyone can successfully pass the selection!"
Originally, Ling Tian's plan was to have six people fight and eliminate one person.
But something happened, and he kept He Dong around.
Simply, let He Dong pass the selection directly.
He Dong's strength is already superior to the other five. Even if he directly lets He Dong pass the selection, the others will not think it is unfair.
When the five people heard Ling Tian's words, not only did they not feel unfair, but they also felt a little happy.
Without the strongest He Dong, their fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
If He Dong also goes to the bloody platform to fight with them, who will be eliminated in the end obviously depends on He Dong's will.
But now, they can each do their own thing.
Because the five of them are of equal strength, the gap is not big.
The five people jumped onto the bloody platform without any nonsense and immediately started a melee.
After a long time, the first person was knocked off the platform.
At this point, the five final selections have been confirmed.
After the dust settled, Ling Tian turned around and saw He Dong still guarding He Jiu's body.
Immediately, he gave an order to He Dong, "Leave He Jiu's body to your He family for disposal! Follow me back to Wuji Sect immediately!"
