Demon Lord Hong Lie demanded that Ying Jie must provide an explanation and find the real murderer.
As for whether this "real murderer" is genuine or not, it might no longer be significant in Demon Lord Hong Lie's mind.
— It seemed Demon Lord Hong Lie was convinced that Ying Jie was the culprit.
"Since you've already benefited, does it really matter if you take the blame? Why go to such lengths to find the real killer?"
"Do you even need to risk a little punishment from Shi Wu Demon Venerable to find the real murderer? Is it worth it?"
Some people might think this way.
Such thoughts are very naive and shallow.
Because, with a bit of reasoning, one would understand...
It's very worth it.
First, benefiting and finding the real culprit are not mutually exclusive; it's not a choice between one or the other.
— Ying Jun is already dead, and it's a decided fact that he has become the sole heir of Shi Wu's lineage.
Whether he finds the real killer or not, this remains the case.
