He had already anticipated Xue Qiaoer's reaction and was not surprised.
He exhaled softly and said, "Let's go back, Qin Yi is fine!"
Only then did Xue Qiaoer refrain from leaving the room and turned back inside.
"Senior Gong, what exactly happened? Can you explain it to me in detail?" Xue Qiaoer asked.
Others might not know Gong Xuan well, but as an insider of the Order Hall, Xue Qiaoer understood him quite well.
Gong Xuan held no official position in the Order Hall, but his status was no lower than that of team leaders like Xue Qiaoer and Fang Zheng'ao. Strictly speaking, even Li Changsheng was not considered Gong Xuan's superior.
Gong Xuan had once been a rising star among the younger generation in the Northern martial arts world. The Order Hall, recognizing his extraordinary talent, had made every effort to recruit him.
Just as the Order Hall was now recruiting Qin Yi.
Therefore, although Gong Xuan held no official position, he enjoyed many privileges!
As for Gong Xuan's strength, it was not top-tier within the Order Hall, but it was definitely among the very best!
This afternoon, Xue Qiaoer had called Li Changsheng and learned that he had summoned Gong Xuan to teach Qin Yi a lesson. She had thought that Qin Yi would surely be taught a lesson this time...
To her surprise, Gong Xuan returned and told her this!
Xue Qiaoer desperately wanted to know what had happened when Gong Xuan went to see Qin Yi that could make the arrogant Gong Xuan say such a thing!
After all, Gong Xuan was extremely proud! The Order Hall had spent considerable effort to recruit him!
Gong Xuan did not hide anything from Xue Qiaoer and recounted what had happened earlier.
"What, Ming Xuanyuan was killed by him!!!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qiaoer could not control herself and cried out in surprise.
Gong Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, I witnessed it with my own eyes. And in the end, he took out something I don't know what it was, and turned Ming Xuanyuan's corpse into nothingness!"
"This Qin Yi is too unfathomable!"
Gong Xuan's face showed an extremely complex expression.
After speaking with Xue Qiaoer, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Changsheng.
It was Li Changsheng who had asked him to teach Qin Yi a lesson. Since this had happened, he had to inform Li Changsheng, no matter what.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion in the Northwest region.
Yu Tongbao, the Pavilion Master of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion, was sleeping in his room.
He was suddenly awakened by the Great Protector of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion and called out.
In the middle of the night, being suddenly awakened from his sleep, Yu Tongbao was very angry. However, upon hearing from the Great Protector that Ming Xuanyuan's soul lamp had been extinguished and that Ming Xuanyuan had been killed, he immediately jumped out of bed.
A few minutes later, in the assembly hall of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion, Yu Tongbao and several high-ranking protectors of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion were all present.
The Wonderful Treasure Pavilion had a total of seven protectors. Apart from Ming Xuanyuan, there were six remaining protectors.
"What exactly happened? Who killed Xuanyuan?"
Yu Tongbao sat in the head seat, his face so grim that it seemed as if he could bleed.
The Great Protector cupped his fists towards him and said, "Pavilion Master, our Third Protector discovered a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Hai City's Heyuan Town. They were holding an auction there when a person named Qin Yi from the Southern Province martial arts world disrupted it..."
"The Third Protector went to seek revenge on Qin Yi tonight and died. So, if there's no accident, the Third Protector was killed by that Qin Yi!"
The other protectors present looked at each other.
After a moment, the Fifth Protector said, "Who is this Qin Yi? With the Third Protector's strength, ordinary people cannot defeat him!"
"Moreover, the Southern Province martial arts world has always been weak. The martial artists there are all trash! Qin Yi, an unknown nobody, we've never even heard of him. Can he kill the Third Protector?"
Upon hearing his words, several protectors nodded involuntarily in agreement.
Even Yu Tongbao found it reasonable.
Sensing everyone's reaction, the Great Protector continued, "But that's how it is! The Third Protector had a conflict with that Qin Yi in Hai City this time, and it was during his pursuit of revenge against Qin Yi that his soul lamp suddenly extinguished!"
Yu Tongbao thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Great Protector, please make a trip to Hai City yourself! If it was indeed Qin Yi who killed Xuanyuan, bring me his head to appease Xuanyuan's spirit in heaven!"
"Yes!"
The Great Protector cupped his hands again, did not delay, and turned to leave the hall.
He prepared to go to Hai City overnight.
Unexpectedly, before the Great Protector could even leave the hall, a disciple of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion rushed in.
The Great Protector instinctively stopped and asked him, "What is it?"
The disciple immediately said, "Reporting to the Pavilion Master and all protectors, the latest news from Hai City indicates that when the Third Protector went to find Qin Yi tonight, there was another person present!"
The Great Protector blurted out, "Who else?"
"It's not clear who it is yet, but it can be confirmed that the person should be from the Order Hall!"
"Order Hall!"
Yu Tongbao, who had been sitting, shot up from his seat.
Seeing this, the protectors all stood up with him.
Among them, the Fourth Protector said, "If that's the case, then I believe that the Third Protector's death was very likely caused by someone from the Order Hall!"
"Hmm!"
The Fifth Protector nodded in agreement, "With the Third Protector's strength, I don't believe anyone in the Southern Province martial arts world could kill him, let alone an unknown person like Qin Yi!"
"Order Hall, a fine Order Hall..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yu Tongbao looked at the dark night outside the hall, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent. "For years, the Order Hall has been controlling us, not allowing us to do this and not allowing us to do that. Now they are becoming more and more excessive, even attacking our high-ranking members of the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion!"
"In the future, will your Order Hall even try to kill me directly?"
He spoke these words as if addressing the protectors, and also as if talking to himself.
After a moment, before the protectors could speak, he said to the Great Protector again, "Great Protector, you must go to Hai City immediately and investigate the situation surrounding Xuanyuan's death tonight!"
"I want the detailed results before noon tomorrow!"
"Yes, Pavilion Master!"
The Great Protector responded, did not hesitate, and quickly walked out of the hall.
Afterward, Yu Tongbao and the other protectors discussed for a while longer before the meeting adjourned.
That night, Ming Xuanyuan's death caused quite a stir in the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion.
From top to bottom, everyone in the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion was shocked and incredulous at Ming Xuanyuan's death.
When the news spread, most people believed that Ming Xuanyuan had been killed by the Wonderful Treasure Pavilion, not by Qin Yi!
Even when they heard someone say that Ming Xuanyuan was killed by Qin Yi, most people not only disbelieved it but also scoffed at it!
Mocking who Qin Yi was and saying he couldn't possibly have such ability!
