CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 423 ELDER OF THE GOLDEN STONE SECT

As soon as Hou Qi heard the name Yu Qianqian, he was suddenly stricken with a guilty conscience, but he still bit the bullet and said, "Yu... Yu Qianqian? What did you do to my girlfriend? Qin Hao, I’m telling you, you..."

Before Hou Qi could finish his sentence, Qin Hao applied pressure with his hand, directly gripping his neck. Hou Qi’s face immediately turned red, and he couldn’t utter another word.

"Next, it’s still my questions, your answers. Nod for yes, shake your head for no. Otherwise, I’ll break your throat."

As Qin Hao finished speaking, his eyes carried a cold killing intent, making Hou Qi’s back feel chilly, and cold sweat began to run down.

"Did you make Yu Qianqian poison Lin Yuhan?" Qin Hao immediately asked.

Hou Qi paused upon hearing this, just about to shake his head in refutation, but Qin Hao had already tightened his grip. With a slight crackling sound, his neck bone emitted a little noise.

"Think carefully before answering; next time, there won’t be any reminders."

Feeling the threat of death close at hand, Hou Qi trembled with fear and immediately nodded.

"Good, next question, and also the last question, who gave you the poison? After I release, you will have only three seconds to directly say his name, do you understand?"

Hou Qi was frightened, nodding vigorously, and Qin Hao didn’t release him but continued to grip his throat, letting him suffocate for over ten seconds until Hou Qi’s eyeballs almost popped out. Only then did Qin Hao gently release his neck.

Suddenly gaining fresh air, Hou Qi ignored everything else and started gasping desperately, coughing frantically.

"Three, two,..."

Qin Hao coldly started counting down, causing Hou Qi’s heart to tremble; recalling the suffocating feeling earlier, he directly blurted out three words: "Jin, Elder Jin!"

"The poison was given to me by Elder Jin!"

Elder Jin? Qin Hao heard these words, and instantly his mind linked them to the Ancient Martial Family, for in today’s era, only they still retained the traditional sect system.

"Which Elder Jin?"

Qin Hao kept his face cold, continued questioning. Just as Hou Qi was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He hesitated, glancing at Qin Hao, who said coldly, "Pick it up, put it on speaker."

Upon hearing this, Hou Qi’s neck shrank, and he quickly answered the phone. It connected, and before he could say a word, an elderly raspy voice came from the other side.

"Qin Hao should be next to you, pass the phone to him."

Immediately, Qin Hao confusedly took the phone from Hou Qi’s hand and said, "Hello, who’s this? How do you know I’m here with Hou Qi?"

The voice on the other end chuckled coldly, then said, "Because I am Elder Jin you’re looking for. Golden Stone Sect, Elder Jin!"

Qin Hao was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this and then his face turned somber. He immediately said, "Oh, so the poison for Lin Yuhan was also confirmed to be you guys?"

The voice on the other side was extremely haughty, coldly saying, "Exactly."

Qin Hao’s tone became even more grim, gritting his teeth, his voice heavily suppressed, said, "Your Golden Stone Sect is asking for death!"

The voice on the other end paused for a moment, completely unexpected that Qin Hao would say such words.

"Oh? Kid! Are you declaring war against my entire Golden Stone Sect?"

"I’ve lived in Golden Stone Sect all my life, even those secluded Ancient Martial Families dare not speak to my sect that way, you ordinary mortal, watch your tongue!"

"Hah! Truly fearless due to ignorance; you have no idea just how powerful a giant like Golden Stone Sect truly is!"

As he spoke, Qin Hao impatiently said, "Enough, Elder Jin. I don’t wish to waste words with you. What’s your purpose in poisoning the woman beside me?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Jin immediately laughed coldly and said, "Purpose? Haha, come to find out yourself!"

"Central Province Western Suburbs, by Mogan Lake, I’ve prepared a light banquet, waiting with open arms. Qin Hao, do you dare to come?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao snorted coldly as well, then said, "Haha, why wouldn’t I dare?"

After saying this, he directly hung up the phone and then swung his elbow backward, knocking Hou Qi unconscious in the car.

"I’ll settle accounts with you later; none of you accomplices will escape!"

Qin Hao coldly threw down these words, then directly left Starlight Garden, got into his car, and drove swiftly towards Mogan Lake.

In the Western Suburbs of the Provincial Government, Mogan Lake is a scenic area. The scenery here is tranquil, a good place.

Driving on the road, Qin Hao thought, and then made a call, discreetly arranging a few things, feeling more assured as he headed to the destination.

Half an hour later, Qin Hao arrived at Mogan Lake Scenic Area. He abandoned his car, entering the area, quickly finding a park ranger’s cabin.

Outside the cabin, dense elm trees covered the sky, enveloping the entire cabin, with the thick shade significantly lowering the temperature.

Qin Hao walked slowly into the elm forest and focused his eyes on the elderly man outside the cabin.

Upon seeing the old man, Qin Hao felt a rush of surprise; it was none other than the fortune-teller Qin Hao had encountered while looking for Hou Qi!

This unexpected revelation cleared up previous doubts; no wonder the presence was so familiar, he turned out to be the elder of Golden Stone Sect!

Outside the cabin, under the shade of the trees, on the stone table were several delightful dishes and a jug of sake.

As Qin Hao appeared, the old man’s gaze also fell on him, chuckling lightly and saying, "You’re here, very quick indeed. Youngsters being punctual is a good trait. An old-timer like me dislikes waiting too long for people."

"Haha, old geezer, putting on airs, acting all formal. I hurried here today to take your dog life! Enough of your nonsense!"

With these words from Qin Hao, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. The Elder from Golden Stone Sect was completely caught off guard by Qin Hao’s fiery disposition, ready to strike at any moment without hesitation.

Already filled with anger, Qin Hao couldn’t tolerate any harm to Lin Yuhan, the untouchable aspect of his heart. Since the Golden Stone Sect dared to lay hands on her, they should be prepared to pay with their lives!

No matter who it is, Qin Hao will absolutely not allow anyone to harm those around him.

Elder Jin’s face darkened, he froze for a moment, then scoffed, saying, "Haha, it seems I’m hosting a hostile guest today, huh!"
