Chapter 933: The Great Perfection of Refining the Void Realm
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "I don't dare. Her Royal Highness is the princess of the kingdom. All the kingdom's finances belong to the Xuanwu royal family. How can she steal the spiritual stones in the vault?"
Zhao Xingyue said: "Then what do you mean by bringing people to my place?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Mr. Qin happened to be away when the treasury was stolen just now. My subordinates felt that his suspicion was serious, so they wanted to ask Mr. Qin for confirmation."
The little witch shouted: "Nonsense, my little brother has been with us all the time, how could he possibly steal your broken spirit stone?"
Zhao Xingyue also said with a serious face: "General Xiahou, Mr. Qin is my friend, and it is impossible for him to steal your spiritual stone."
For other things, Xiahou Hongxiang can still make concessions, but now it involves millions of spiritual stones in the treasury, so he will naturally not make any concessions.
He said: "Your Highness, Mr. Qin's whereabouts were unknown when the treasury was stolen, so I thought we should conduct a search to help your friend clear his suspicions."
After he said this, Zhao Xingyue also made a mistake in his heart. Qin Haodong was really not here just now. Could it be that he really stole the treasury of Tianma City?
But the more this happened, the more determined she was to protect Qin Haodong. Even if the treasury of Tianma City, not to mention the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, was robbed, she would still stand by Qin Haodong's side.
"General Xiahou, it was your fault that the treasury was lost. You should catch the thief as soon as possible instead of coming here to slander my friend.
As long as I am here today, no one is allowed to lay a finger on Brother Qin."
After saying that, she stood up directly and stood in front of Qin Haodong.
"That is, no one is allowed to slander Brother Qin..."
"Senior brother must have been wronged..."
The other girls also gathered around, guarding Qin Haodong in the middle, looking at Xiahou Hongxiang with eager eyes, with the intention of taking action if they disagreed.
They had the same thoughts as Zhao Xingyue, they all felt that Qin Haodong might have stolen the treasury, but the more this happened, the more they had to protect it.
Seeing the reactions of several girls, Xiahou Hongxiang strengthened his suspicions, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, if you insist on protecting your shortcomings like this, don't blame your subordinates for offending you."
Zhao Xingyue shouted sternly: "How dare you, do you still want to take action against me?"
"I dare not be disrespectful to the princess, but it involves the kingdom's property, and I must fulfill my duties, otherwise I will not be able to explain to His Majesty the King."
Xiahou Hongxiang spoke righteously, showing a gesture of loyalty to the kingdom, and then waved his hand to Jiang Bin behind him, "Let me start the search."
"As you command!"
Jiang Bin agreed and immediately ordered his men to surround Zhao Xingyue and others.
Tu Jiaojiao, Murong Jinghong and others also drew out their swords and saw that the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
"Don't get excited, everyone."
Qin Haodong stepped forward and walked to Zhao Xingyue, "Your Highness, your highness is not afraid of shadows. Since General Xiahou wants to search, let him search."
"This..." Zhao Xingyue hesitated and said, "But I will never allow anyone to slander my friends."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Haodong doubtfully, her eyes full of questioning.
That means that if it was Qin Haodong who stole the vault, no matter what, he would not let the other party search it.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, whatever is missing from the vault has nothing to do with me." Qin Haodong said, looking at Xiahou Hongxiang and Jiang Bin, "You two actually suspected that I stole the vault. You can search it if you want, but you can't do this.
I doubt Qin’s innocence for no reason.”
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "What do you want?"
Qin Haodong said calmly: "If I don't let you two search, you must suspect that I stole the vault. I'm not willing to be searched by you like this. How about we make a bet?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "What does Mr. Qin want to bet on?"
Qin Haodong said: "If you two find the spiritual stone you are looking for from me, Mr. Qin will immediately commit suicide. This life will be yours. It is up to you to kill or cut him into pieces.
If you can't find it, you can give me 20,000 top-quality spiritual stones as compensation for my reputation. What does General Xiahou think?"
"this……"
Seeing Qin Haodong's confident look, Xiahou Hongxiang also hesitated. Could it be that the spiritual stones in the vault were not really stolen by this kid?
Jiang Bin stepped forward and whispered: "General Xiahou, this guy is bluffing. It is obvious that he is bluffing us. He is 100% the one who stole the spiritual stones in the vault."
Xiahou Hongxiang gritted his teeth. He really didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Zhao Xingyue unless he had to, and finally said: "Since Mr. Qin wants to bet, then I will bet with you."
Qin Haodong said: "Well, let's ask General Xiahou to take out 20,000 top-quality spiritual stones and put them here with the princess, and ask the princess to be a witness for us."
"Can!"
After Xiahou Hongxiang finished speaking, he took out 20,000 top-quality spiritual stones from his storage ring and handed them to Zhao Xingyue.
"Your Highness, this is a fair agreement between Mr. Qin and I. If anything is found later, please do not embarrass my subordinates."
Zhao Xingyue glanced at Qin Haodong and saw him nodding towards her, so she said, "Okay then, I will do this justice for you."
Xiahou Hongxiang turned to look at Qin Haodong: "Mr. Qin, it's your turn."
There were millions of top-quality spiritual stones in the vault, which were like a small mountain. Naturally, he would not think that Qin Haodong would carry them with him, and they would definitely be in the storage ring.
Qin Haodong smiled slightly, took off the storage ring from his hand, raised his hand and threw it to him.
When he finished ransacking the treasury, he had already expected what was going to happen. Not only did he put the spiritual stones directly into the seventh-level pagoda, but he also transferred the contents of his storage ring to the tower.
At this time, there was nothing in his storage ring except hundreds of top-quality spiritual stones.
Xiahou Hongxiang took the storage ring, glanced at Qin Haodong first, and then swept his consciousness into the ring.
When he saw the result clearly, his expression suddenly changed. There was nothing inside. Could it be that Qin Haodong really didn't steal it?
Seeing Xiahou Hongxiang's expression, Jiang Bin already knew the result, and his face also became extremely ugly.
Qin Haodong smiled: "General Xiahou, if you still don't believe me, you can search me."
As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and patted his pockets.
Jiang Bin said: "You must have stolen the treasury, and you must have hidden the things!"
Qin Haodong looked at him and said: "General Jiang, what you said is not appropriate, right? You said I stole it without any evidence, and I also said you stole it!"
"you……"
Jiang Bin was so angry that he was about to take action. Zhao Xingyue shouted sharply: "Jiang Bin, what are you going to do? The bet we just agreed on, do you think that this notary is just here for decoration?"
She was originally partial to Qin Haodong, but now she is even more confident.
Xiahou Hongxiang stopped Jiang Bin and stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Princess. We just misunderstood. Now we apologize to Mr. Qin."
He handed the storage ring back to Qin Haodong and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, for disturbing me. I admit defeat. Those 20,000 top-quality spiritual stones are yours."
After saying that, he saluted Zhao Xingyue again, and then led the people out of the other courtyard.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Jiang Bin said: "General Xiahou, can we just forget it? In my opinion, that kid stole the treasury, but he hid the spirit stone. Maybe it was also said in Zhao Xingyue's ring.
indefinite."
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy expression: "That boy is indeed a serious suspect, but have you ever thought that this matter might also be done by those people from the Ghost King Sect?"
"this……"
Jiang Bin's expression froze, the Ghost King Sect is very powerful, and they do have the ability if they want to do it.
He said: "General Xiahou, what should we do now? Should we just let the boy named Qin go?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Of course I won't let him go so cheaply. According to my estimates, people from Wangcheng will come to pick up Zhao Xingyue tomorrow. We will take action as soon as they leave the scope of Tianma City.
Not only do we have to kill Qin Haodong, but we also have to snatch all their storage rings. By then, whether they steal our spiritual stones or theirs, they will all be ours."
Jiang Bin immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a flattering face: "General Xiahou is really a talented and strategic man, and my subordinates admire him very much."
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "You immediately arrange for people to seal the city. Everyone is only allowed in but not allowed out. You must not let the boy named Qin escape.
At the same time, we will strictly investigate the people of the Ghost King Sect. If it is really their people who did it, they will take our spirit stones back no matter what."
Jiang Bin nodded and said: "I know, General, I will make arrangements now."
In the other courtyard, after Xiahou Hongxiang left, everyone got together and discussed for a while, and then they all went back to their rooms to rest.
There were many rooms in the other courtyard, and Qin Haodong returned to the room that was rearranged for him.
First, he found a skeleton warrior with a body similar to his own from the army of bones, put him in his own clothes, let him lie on the bed to sleep, and then entered the seventh-level pagoda alone.
The various materials he brought from the earth were placed on the sixth floor, and the top-quality spiritual stones that were looted were placed on the seventh floor, making the spiritual energy here become more and more intense, almost dripping with water.
Now there are Xiahou Hongxiang and others who are eyeing him in front of him, and people from the Ghost King Sect will appear at any time in the back. The top priority is to improve his cultivation level.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the tower and began to use his kung fu to reach the Great Perfection of the Void Refining Realm.
According to his current cultivation method, it is indeed dozens or even hundreds of times faster than ordinary people to improve his cultivation. Once successful, it will be unparalleled in power and invincible at the same level, but the consumption of spiritual stones will also be extremely huge.
When he opened his eyes again, the true energy in his body was surging and he had reached the perfection of the Void Refining Realm.
But looking around again, there were only a few thousand of the original millions of top-quality spiritual stones left.
While he was happy, Qin Haodong couldn't help but feel a headache. He had just reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refining Realm and had used so many top-quality spiritual stones. What should he do during the integration period? It seemed that he could only place his hope in the spiritual spring of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
After finishing his training, he returned to his room.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the little witch said: "It's so boring here. I've come to Tianma City but can't go anywhere. What's the difference between this and a prisoner?"
Zhao Xingyue said: "There is no way. This Xiahou Hongxiang is afraid that we will run away. This place is heavily guarded and we can't get out even if we want to."
The other girls also had regretful looks on their faces, obviously no one wanted to stay here motionless.
Qin Haodong said: "If you want to go out, I have a way."
The little witch shouted excitedly: "Brother, if you have any good ideas, please tell me."
Qin Haodong smiled slightly: "They don't let us go out, we can go out secretly!"
