Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

With sufficient evidence, it wouldn't have been a problem to convict Wu Qinan directly if it weren't for Wu Qi's involvement.

The problem is that Wu Qinan himself is also struggling.

His struggle was not to shirk responsibility, but to find out what had happened at the mine and to constantly gather intelligence.

Wu Qi said, "You mean, Wu Qinan himself was also deceived?"

"Is there a mole from the Xinshan Sect within the Wu family?"

Xue Qinghe nodded: "Wu Qinan's idea to take over that mine was originally intended to subsidize the wounded and disabled soldiers."

"Perhaps to avoid the exposure of the matter, which would have caused severe damage to the Wu family and also prevented the wounded soldiers from speaking out, he never personally went to the scene from the beginning of the theft of the mine."

"There is a traitor in the Wu family who is secretly colluding with the Xinshan Sect and has lulled Wu Qinan into a false sense of security. This is the most likely explanation at present."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that all of this is a well-orchestrated show by Wu Qinan. In any case, to find out the specifics, we probably need to start with the Xinshan Sect."

"Whether you can save the Wu family, or whether you are willing to save the Wu family, is entirely up to you. If you don't want to get involved, then talk to your two grandfathers and tell them to take direct action and wipe out both sides."

Wu Qi indeed had no feelings for the Wu family, but Wu Qinan was willing to go to jail to provide subsidies for his former disabled subordinates.

Such behavior would increase anyone's goodwill towards him.

It's likely that the Spirit Hall didn't refrain from directly killing the Wu family entirely out of respect for him.

Wu Qinan's actions can be considered as securing a glimmer of hope for the Wu family, which consists of over a hundred members.

Wu Qi didn't want innocent people to be implicated, so he decided to investigate the situation thoroughly.

He asked, "If it turns out later that Wu Qinan was indeed deceived, what would you do?"

Xue Qinghe said, "Stealing imperial assets is a serious crime, and this was Wu Qinan's original intention."

"Considering that he is a man of flesh and blood, his crime does not warrant death."

"However, the Wu family's title must be abolished, otherwise all my hard work would have been for nothing."

“Apart from those involved who must be executed, the rest of the Wu family can leave Tiandou City alive.”

"As for whether they will go into business or live in seclusion in the future, that's up to them to decide."

This is undoubtedly the best possible outcome for the Wu family.

……

After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Wu Qi figured out Xue Qinghe's attitude.

If the other party intends to kill the Wu family, then no amount of investigation will be of any use.

Next, we will investigate the truth of the matter.

However, before setting off, Wu Qi first went to see Dugu Bo, and through the latter's introduction, he met that "dead ghost" in the underground black market.

The deadbeat was still half-dead, continuing to run his stall.

Sensing Wu Qi's presence, he couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Didn't I tell you to open my envelope after you went to the training grounds? Why haven't you gone yet?"

Wu Qi feigned innocence and asked, "I have already gone to two training grounds, but when I opened your letter, I still found nothing."

He knew the other party wasn't referring to the City of Slaughter or the Lost Land; this was just an excuse. Dugu Bo couldn't help but urge, "You old devil, why don't you tell the little guy beforehand?"

"Next, he will most likely go to the training ground you mentioned. With your intelligence assistance, he can avoid a lot of risks and increase his chances of survival."

Old Ghost was silent for a moment before continuing, "First of all, let's be clear about one thing: do you know where the training ground I'm talking about is?"

Wu Qi nodded in response: "It should be a place of extreme poison. The Spirit Hall only recently figured out the situation of the exit there. That's why I had the opportunity to go in and train there."

"If I could get help from my seniors, I think it would be a great help to me."

Upon hearing the words "Land of Deadly Poisons," Old Ghost couldn't help but raise his head, his face filled with nostalgia.

"It's been a long time since I've heard of a place of extreme poison. Yes, it is indeed a place I have been to, and it was there that I lost my eyes."

"Now that you are about to embark on this journey, you must already know the dangers involved, right?"

Having received an affirmative answer, he continued, "Actually, I may not know as much as you do. It's just that I've personally experienced it all, so I know the route better than you do."

"If you can withstand the danger of the poison, then you will likely have a high chance of surviving and seizing the opportunity."

Wu Qi took out the deer from his soul tool and said, "Senior, I have this, so it should be able to protect me from most dangers, right?"

Although the old ghost couldn't see, he could still sense the unique aura emanating from the little deer.

He suddenly smiled and said, "It seems the Spirit Hall has made quite thorough preparations for you. That's good."

"After you go in, follow the path on the left. When you encounter a fork in the road, take the left one. This is the same route that Ghost Leopard Douluo took back then."

"Unfortunately, I took the right path, which is a more dangerous area and seems to be selecting certain Soul Masters. If you feel that you are the one destined for this path, perhaps you can try taking the right path."

Originally, he wanted Wu Qi to take the right-hand path, as he had a premonition that Wu Qi was the one destined for him.

However, given Dugu Bo's status, he didn't speak completely. After all, no one knew the truth. If Wu Qi wasn't destined for this and ended up like him, he would already be considered lucky.

In fact, there is a very high probability that Wu Qi perished there.

Sensing the other party's soul power level, he knew that the other party possessed an extraordinary opportunity. If it were to be lost, the Douluo Continent would be missing a peak powerhouse in the future.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the road on the left is always safe.

Both paths are extremely dangerous, but the difference is that anyone can enter the left path, as long as they pass the test.

On the right side, even if those who are not destined for it overcome numerous difficulties to enter, they will not gain any opportunities and may even suffer a backlash.

The temple did not mention the road conditions.

It seems they wanted to give the choice to Wu Qi.

To receive even one of these opportunities is already extremely lucky; to have the chance to receive two is even better.

What opportunities he will receive, and what kind of opportunities they will be, all depends on Wu Qi's fate.

Old Ghost has said what he needed to say. As for what he couldn't say, we'll only find out once we enter the poisonous land and examine the contents of the letter.

Leaving the underground black market, Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask, "Little guy, with your talent, even without taking risks, you are still qualified to become a top expert on the continent. Why take this risk to increase your strength?"

"Old Ghost said that only a handful of people who enter that place ever come out alive." (End of Chapter)
