When Patriarch Ziyang saw this scene, he already understood that Chen Hetu was telling the truth, and Qin Zimo might have really gone to assassinate him.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Qin Zimo and asked: "Three days ago, when you went down the mountain, did you go to assassinate Mr. Chen?"

Although Patriarch Ziyang was polite to Chen Hetu, he was quite dignified in the eyes of other people in Ziyang Sect.

Qin Zimo shuddered and said in a hoarse voice: "Yeah."

When Ziyang Patriarch saw Qin Zimo's admission, he became furious and said, "How brave you are to turn a deaf ear to the rules of our Ziyang Sect!"

Qin Zimo shuddered again.

He opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but found that he seemed to have lost his voice and could not say a word.

Ancestor Ziyang became even more angry when he saw Qin Zimo like this.

He struck Qin Zimo's body with a palm.

He angrily shouted: "Kneel down!"

Qin Zimo's body was already seriously injured. After being slapped hard by Patriarch Ziyang, he vomited blood.

But he still endured the pain and knelt on the ground.

Ancestor Ziyang continued angrily: "Tell me, who instructed you to assassinate!"

Qin Zimo swallowed his saliva and turned pale.

He knew that the Ziyang Sect had strict rules and regulations, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would definitely end up miserable.

Thinking of this, he poured out the facts like beans.

"A few days ago, Wu Tianjiao from the Wu family in Yunhe City sent someone to find me, saying that Chen Hetu killed my sworn brother and asked me to take revenge. I know that our Ziyang sect has strict rules, so naturally I will not agree."

At this point, Qin Zimo paused and continued: "But Wu Tianjiao promised me many benefits, so I took the risk..."

Ancestor Ziyang suppressed the anger in his heart. He did not expect that Qin Zimo would go down the mountain to join the fight among the people for a little benefit, ignoring the rules of the family, and the assassin was Chen Hetu, who had the strength to crush him.

Just when he was about to have an attack, Qin Zimo hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Ancestor, please don't kill me. The reason why I agreed to Wu Tianjiao to assassinate Chen Hetu was out of filial piety!"

"Huh?" Ancestor Ziyang frowned.

Qin Zimo said: "I know about the grievances between Wu Tianjiao and Chen Hetu, so I know that Chen Hetu will practice a life-prolonging elixir. And your health is getting worse, so I want to get the prescription back to you."

Having said this, he looked at Ancestor Ziyang.

Ancestor Ziyang almost went crazy when he was young, so his body was very weak. And... time is running out now, which is not a secret in Ziyang Sect.

So Qin Zimo racked his brains to come up with such an excuse, hoping to calm Patriarch Ziyang's anger.

Otherwise, according to the rules of the Ziyang Sect, if he goes down the mountain to assassinate others, even if he doesn't die, he will still have to shed his skin.

When Patriarch Ziyang heard this, his heart moved and he glanced at Chen Hetu.

Chen Hetu stood there proudly, as if he was asleep, as if he didn't care about anything.

The ancestor of Ziyang knew that Chen Hetu must be waiting for him to explain to him. If he was not satisfied, he would definitely not let everyone in the Ziyang sect go.

Then, he looked at Qin Zimo, who buried his head deeply on the ground and said, "Ancestor, I know I was wrong. Please let me go this time."

In his mind, Chen Hetu was just an outsider, and since he was a member of the Ziyang Sect, the Ziyang Patriarch would definitely protect him no matter what.

However, Patriarch Ziyang's next words made Qin Zimo despair.

"Let you go?"
