After Meng Qing finished speaking, Zhang Fengya nodded with an indifferent attitude.

"No matter, there are other fifth-turn experts here; surely someone scanned his information."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know."

Subsequently, she stared at Meng Qing with a hint of pity in her eyes.

"Elder Qing, you failed to protect your master; before you see the family elders, I will give you three days to prepare your affairs," she said, slowly shaking her head and sighing.

Upon hearing this, Meng Qing felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning and froze on the spot.

In fact, he had long anticipated his fate, so he wasn't all that shocked.

It was just…

It was just that he didn't want to die.

When he truly heard the news, he still found it somewhat hard to accept.

His eyes were filled with despair; he remained dull for a moment before laughing maniacally.

"Heh… hehe…"

"Hahaha!"

He looked up and laughed, his body trembling.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"This old man has served the Zhang family faithfully for fifty years, sacrificing my family, sacrificing everything, sacrificing my dignity!"

"In the end, I was given dirty work, serving the family head's spoiled Young Master, helping him bully the weak and slaughter innocent people all day long."

"My heart has long since rotted."

As he spoke, a hint of resentment grew in Meng Qing's eyes.

"I have sacrificed so much and risked my life to protect my master; I simply lacked the strength."

"My conscience is clear!"

"Even so, I must pay with my life!?"

"Zhang family, Zhang family, what a great Zhang family!" He laughed incessantly, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Immediately, he looked toward the tree fifty meters away, at the miserable corpse of Young Master Zhang Tang!

"In the end, wasn't it his own stupidity, sending Cao Sha to kill another innocent fifth-turn expert, Bu Chunfeng, leaving only me to protect him?" Speaking of this, a hint of frustration and resentment surged in Meng Qing's eyes.

"Otherwise, if Cao Sha and I had cooperated to protect him, how could he have died!"

"Everything is his own fault for being too stupid!"

He had let go of everything; since he was going to lose his life anyway, he might as well say everything he wanted to say!

Venting all the anger and grievances of these years!

"My only mistake is that I am not a member of the Zhang family!"

"My only crime is that I started from nothing, yet still wanted to live as a dignified powerhouse!"

"I… in the end, I was always an out…"

Meng Qing hadn't finished speaking.

"Enough," Zhang Yunxiao said with a calm expression, interrupting him.

Pfft!!

Subsequently, he raised a finger and pointed.

This finger was light, as if he had done it casually.

But in an instant, thousands of golden rays flowed, turning into ten thousand mysterious needles.

Blasting half of Meng Qing's body into a blood mist.

He spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to his knees.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on him.

He felt utterly humiliated, his dignity completely lost!

"Meng Qing, do not speak nonsense!"

"I know you are about to die, and your strength will all come to naught, so you are unwilling, but keep your mouth shut!" Zhang Yunxiao said coldly from his high position.

Meng Qing's eyes were miserable as he slowly crawled to his feet.

Even though he was older, he had to be scolded by such a junior.

There was bitterness and helplessness in his heart.

At his age, stepping onto the wrong path, unable to control his own fate…

"Elder Qing, say no more." Female Venerable Zhang Fengya looked at Meng Qing with an extremely earnest gaze.

"Go settle your affairs, and return to the Zhang family in three days."

"This is the last thing I can do for you."

Today, she was only forty years old, and her talent was considered top-notch.

And when she was young, Elder Qing had once guided her.

So she was willing to leave a little final time for Meng Qing.

She wasn't afraid of Meng Qing running away; after all, he had a Soul Gu personally refined by the family elders in his body, and no matter what, he could never disobey the family's orders.

If they wanted him to die, he would have to obediently return to accept death.

Meng Qing's eyes were like dead ashes; his body turned into mist, and he drifted away in an instant.

After Meng Qing left, Zhang Yunxiao looked in the direction he had gone and sneered.

"Hmph, old thing, he's just a piece of trash."

"I'm afraid the family elders and the family head won't let him die so easily; he'll have to spend at least an hour in the Soul Prison before they grant him death." He had no pity, only gloom in his eyes.

Subsequently, he looked at the remaining fifth-turn experts.

"Back to business, report his information."

"Which one of you scanned it?"

He looked around at the crowd and said calmly.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one spoke.

This caused Zhang Yunxiao's originally relaxed gaze to gradually become solemn.

"Speak, why aren't you speaking?"

He frowned tightly, his tone becoming somewhat impatient.

Zhang Fengya also brushed her willow eyebrows and stepped forward, calling out names directly.

"Fire Lord, Zhang Yanyun, did you scan his information?"

She asked.

An old woman stepped forward, immediately feeling the burning gazes around her, which made her extremely nervous.

"Apologies, my lords, I… did not scan his information!"

"As Meng Qing said, this person seems to have some equipment that hides his information; even my detection skills failed to learn his attributes and name."

"I only know his title is Slaughter."

Once these words were spoken, Zhang Fengya's expression turned solemn, as if she sensed something wrong.

But she remained very steady, not showing any panic.

"Then Needle Walker, Zhang Zhong, what about you?" she asked.

"Your Hundred-Solution Eye skill can not only assist in aiming hidden weapons but also judge an enemy's attributes and name."

"You must know his name, right?"

She said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong stepped forward; he was thin and lowered his head to bow.

"My lords… the quality of the equipment that hides his attributes is quite high; I failed to see through his information."

Once these words were spoken, the calmness on Zhang Yunxiao and Zhang Fengya's faces could no longer be maintained!

Finally, a hint of surprise emerged.

"You, don't tell me none of you managed to see his information!!"
