At the Zhao sect, the third floor was only a legend. It had never been opened publicly before. The second floor already contained the sect’s peak ranked martial arts. Then what would the third floor hold?
The arrogance Zhao Linlong had shown must have had some backing to it. Eight or nine out of ten was that it was connected with the third floor.
“Although there aren’t any Holy martial arts on the third floor, there are still some partial Holy martial arts for geniuses to gain insight from. Those whose cultivation isn’t high enough wouldn’t gain anything from entering anyway, therefore, the third floor is closed. Only Zhao Linlong was allowed to enter, even though his cultivation is under the seventh rank,” Elder Zhao explained.
Understanding showed on Zhao Feng’s face. Zhao Linlong had come in first at the family sparring contest, and being the adopted son of the head of the sect, he was able to enter the third floor.
“Thanks you, elder, for giving me this chance.” Zhao Feng was full of gratitude.
“Unfortunately, the head of the sect actually rejected this,” Elder Zhao sighed as he shook his head.
Rejected?
Cold awareness of the unfairness crept into Zhao Feng’s heart. Zhao Linlong was only first in the Zhao sect, but he had come first in the whole of Sun Feather City! Could it be because he was just a branch disciple, while Zhao Linlong was the head of the sect’s stepson?
“Why did the head of the sect not agree?” Zhao Feng took a deep breath, he wanted to hear the sect leader’s reasons.
“Did you meet with Qiu Mengyu after the summit?” Elder Zhao asked deeply.
“That’s true,” Zhao Feng replied, suddenly understanding. The Qiu family and the Zhao family were enemies and the fact that he had accepted Qiu Mengyu’s invitation easily raised suspicions.
“Two corpses were found, and after examination, we found that they died to a skill similar to Star Finger,” Elder Zhao’s stared at him.
Star Finger?
Zhao Feng pretended to be surprised. “Does the sect think that I killed them?”
“I don’t believe it, how could you kill the two of them with only your fifth rank?” The elder shook his head.
Indeed, the two had both reached the peak of the sixth rank and they were of the older generation, so they had access to high tier martial arts.
If someone was logical and not retarded, they would know that the killer couldn’t be Zhao Feng.
Obviously, this was according to logic…Elder Zhao probably wouldn’t dream that the killer was right in front of him.
“Someone reported that you privately went to Qiu Mengyu’s place and Zhao Tianjian and his bodyguard died near in the sect’s territory. Many people of high position are suspicious of you teaming up with the Qiu family to kill the two.” His voice became solemn.
First, it was true that Zhao Feng had met up with Qiu Mengyu. Secondly, Zhao Tianjian had enmities with Zhao Feng and he died precisely on the night that Zhao Feng had returned alone.
This was enough reason to raise suspicions. All in all, he was just a branch disciple. It didn’t matter whether or not there was evidence, the sect leader would use this as reasoning to not let him in the third floor.
“Who’s the reporter?” Zhao Feng’s eye twitched as he thought.
That night there was only Zhao Linlong, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Han, etc. with him. The one closest with the head of the sect was undoubtedly Zhao Linlong.
“The high levels have already ordered that before the truth has been revealed, you are not to leave the grounds of the Zhao sect,” the elder sighed helplessly.
What!?
Zhao Feng’s eyes turned sharp. “Is this a confinement order?”
