Seeing the Second and Third Elders of the Lingjian School enter the door, Daoist Master Zhifeng gawked for a moment, but then he realized that the Lingjian School's verification results had finally come out.
After dragging on for so long, the final result should be as he expected. The Lingjian School chose to compromise and didn't let the Fifth Elder come forward, which should be to avoid trouble, turning a big problem into a small one … However, somehow, the two Elders Liu Xian and Fang He's solemn faces always made his heart somewhat uneasy.
Liu Xian, holding the sincerity paper, slowly walked in front of Feng Yin Daoist Master, wanting to hand over the final verification materials to the Sect Leader for review.
However, Feng Yin waved his hand. "No need, just give it to Daoist Master Zhifeng for review."
The corner of Liu Xian's mouth suddenly revealed an imperceptible smile, but unfortunately, Daoist Master Zhifeng didn't see it.
When he received the stack of sincerity paper, Daoist Master Zhifeng had already predicted the final result. The Sect Leader didn't even look at the stack of materials, which obviously meant that he had given in. That being the case...
With a trace of a smile, Daoist Master Zhifeng turned his eyes to the sincerity paper. However, with just a glance, his expression immediately froze.
The next moment, Daoist Master Zhifeng's hands began to involuntarily tremble, and his originally pale complexion was flushed with anger.
Everything that happened in the White Moon Country was recorded on it without any concealment. Not only the fact that the Thousand Spirit Sect colluded with the White Moon Country's local government was recorded, even the fact that the Thousand Spirit Sect colluded with the White Moon Country's palace servants to control the members of the royal family was also exposed!
This was not a joke. Although the Thousand Spirit Sect was only an insignificant faction, it was a big taboo for an immortal cultivator to arbitrarily interfere in the mortal world's politics! Once it was investigated, as the backer, he simply wouldn't be able to hide!
Of course, some people might ask, which of the big sects in the Wanxian League had nothing to do with the mortal world's politics? For example, the Shengjing Sect that was entrenched in the Central Region clearly controlled many countries, so what taboo was this?
The correct answer was: if you were as powerful as the Shengjing Sect, you could also ignore this taboo. In fact, among the top ranking sects in the Wanxian League, other than the Lingjian School who kept a low profile, the other sects would more or less control some mortal countries to provide the necessary resources.
Among them, Shengjing Sect's expansion was the strongest. They even set up a continent-wide hegemony strategy. They had branches all over the Nine Continents and had unclear connections with countless countries.
However, the problem was that all of these connections were in the hands of the main altar of the Immortal Sect in the Middle Continent. The people in charge of the branch were not allowed to act on their own. Of course, in a place far away from the emperor, it wasn't a big deal if they wanted to make some money. However, to do what the Thousand Spirit Sect had done, it had far exceeded the bottom line of tolerance. With his own qualifications, he was far from being able to suppress this matter. When the time came, the sect rules would be like a mountain, and he …
Thinking to this, Daoist Master Zhifeng's Jade Mansion trembled, his Yuanying flickered, and cold sweat gushed out of his body like a spring. He almost couldn't hold the sincerity paper in his hand.
A moment later, Daoist Master Zhifeng converged his primordial spirit and used his supreme heart to suppress the vibration of his Nascent Soul. Then, the fear and panic disappeared, replaced by endless anger.
Lingjian School, you forced me to do this!
"You, you guys are …"
After gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words, Daoist Master Zhifeng angrily stood up and loudly roared, "You guys really want to cover up to the end!"
"What a joke!"
Feng Yin Daoist Master's smile suddenly turned cold. "Cover up? Only when you've made a mistake can you talk about covering up! Now that the facts are clear, Junior Sister's chivalrous act is not only not wrong, but also meritorious. How could we cover up such a person, Daoist Master Zhifeng! "
"So what if it's written on a piece of paper!? Do you think it counts!? " Daoist Master Zhifeng didn't back down as he roared back at the Deity Stage Sect Leader. "You guys have your own people, your own paper, isn't what you write the same thing!?"
The angrier Daoist Master Zhifeng was, the more leisurely Feng Yin Daoist Master became. "Yes, it's the same thing. However, Daoist Master Zhifeng, you claim that Fifth Junior Sister maliciously slandered you, isn't that also the same thing? Or do you have clear evidence to prove something? "
Daoist Master Zhifeng was stunned. Of course, he didn't have any evidence! Are you kidding me? Does the Shengjing Sect still need evidence? The leader of the Wanxian League was the biggest evidence!
However, at this time, Feng Yin Daoist Master changed his previous attitude of knowing that he was a good friend of the Shengjing Sect. Daoist Master Zhifeng was suddenly at a loss. However, he quickly found an attack point. "Just now, you didn't even look at that material, yet you know what's written on it. Do you dare to say that there's nothing more to it!?"
Feng Yin Daoist Master lightly said, "Why would I need to look at what's written on it? From the beginning, I have complete trust in my Junior Sister. This stack of paper is written for you to see, not for us to see. I believe that any Elder in the Heavenly Sword Hall would not doubt their own Junior Sister. "
"Hahaha." The nearby hooded Elder couldn't help but laugh. "I told you, Senior Brother Sect Leader, you will not let us down!"
The youngest female Elder repeatedly nodded. "Yes, although Fifth Senior Sister is cold and ungrateful, I absolutely trust her!"
Sixth Elder Lu Li said, "Oh, in the past, she has helped me a lot. Although she has a lot of problems, she is a trustworthy Senior Sister."
Fourth Elder Zhou Ming said with a smile, "I second that."
Seeing that several of his Junior Brothers and Sisters have expressed their stance, the Third Elder Fang He awkwardly hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.
Although they had expressed their stance in the Heavenly Policy Hall, at that time, there were only three people in the Hall, and at this time, they were surrounded by so many Junior Brothers and Sisters, which was really...
The nearby Liu Xian somewhat laughingly patted his shoulder, and then said, "Everyone knows that my relationship with Fifth Junior Sister is the worst. Almost every month, I would complain about her two or three times. However, this time, I completely trust Junior Sister."
Finally, Fang He reluctantly said, "I also believe her, okay? As long as she can change her bad habits and abide by the sect's rules … "The voice behind him became smaller and smaller, and no one cared about what he said.
The attitude of the Heavenly Sword Hall was so obvious that there was no possibility of mediation.
Daoist Master Zhifeng gritted his teeth. "Even if … this means becoming enemies with the Shengjing Sect!? Just for a King Pill Elder!? "
"Hahahaha!" Feng Yin Daoist Master suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. "Daoist Master Zhifeng, you should ask your Shengjing Sect! Are you, the leader of the Immortal Path, really ready to be the enemy of our Spirit Sword Sect? Just for a mere Fourth Level Yuanying Stage like you!? "
When the last word came out, Feng Yin Daoist Master's anger surged up. In a split second, the entire Spirit Sword Mountain trembled. Facing this pressure, Daoist Master Zhifeng's vision turned black and he almost lost consciousness.
Damn, I've kicked an iron plate...
When he regained his composure, Daoist Master Zhifeng's complexion was miserable. He knew that his wishful thinking had been completely broken … Sure enough, the Five Uniques and the Beast Master School could not be mentioned in the same breath. Even if everyone thought that they were unworthy of their name, strong on the outside but weak on the inside … However, the Five Uniques were indeed the Five Uniques. Behind their great reputation was a very deep sect heritage!
However, things haven't reached a dead end yet. On the contrary, at this time, he had to persevere to the end, because this matter was not only about him, but also the confrontation between the two sects!
The matter in the White Moon Country had been exposed, and he was doomed to be punished by the sect. However, the research results that he had in his hands might be able to offset part of the punishment. The problem was, at present, he was representing the Shengjing Sect in the confrontation with the Lingjian School. Once he retreated, it would bring disgrace to the sect's reputation, which would make him feel extremely uncomfortable!
On the contrary, if he could stubbornly insist on this matter and escalate it into a battle of reputation between the two sects, perhaps he would be able to survive! The Shengjing Sect had been overbearing for a long time. Although they were not lenient toward their own scum, they were even more intolerant of other sects' offense.
Therefore, although Daoist Master Zhifeng's anger was boundless, his heart had gradually calmed down. "Good … Since you're so rude and unreasonable, then our Shengjing Sect …"
Just as his voice fell, he suddenly heard a woman's voice from outside the door.
"Interesting, how old are you, yet you're always talking about our Shengjing Sect. You've been cultivating for so long, haven't you learned to speak with your own identity?"
Accompanied by a mocking laughter, a woman in white riding on an emerald green sword light flew into the Spirit Sword Hall.
"Heh, Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, just now, your speech … we accidentally heard it. Alas, thank you for your trust, especially Senior Brother Fang He, I can see that it's really difficult for you to speak against your conscience … But, why should our Spirit Sword Sect, for such a trivial matter, go against the Shengjing Sect?"
With that, the woman turned to look at Daoist Master Zhifeng. "I say, do you really want to hide behind the sect's shell for the rest of your life? Now that this mess is caused by the two of us, let's settle it, no need to implicate the sect. "
Then, the woman's emerald green bamboo sword light flashed, pointing straight at Zhifeng.
"You and I, one on one, winner takes all, loser kneel down, do you dare or not?"
Being pointed at by the woman's emerald green bamboo sword light, coupled with that contemptuous smile, Zhifeng's Jade Mansion, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, once again surged up.
Moreover, his reason told him that this seemed to be a straightforward solution. He didn't need to think about how to fight against the high-level Elders of the sect, nor did he need to think about how to suppress the Lingjian School's counterattack. As long as he won against this woman, all the problems would be solved.
In fact, this was also a commonly used method in the Immortal Cultivation World. When wrangling couldn't be cleared, then use fists to reason. In the end, this was the immutable truth of the Immortal Cultivation World. The so-called Wanxian League was nothing more than the largest rogue organization in the Nine Regions. Weren't the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League often called the five big rogues? And the winner-take-all duel proposed by Wang Wu was the product of such a big environment. When the two sides of the dispute didn't want to waste more energy on wrangling, then they would use a duel. The winner takes all, even if there was no reason, it would still be reasonable. The loser could only swallow his grievances. Of course, this kind of duel must be agreed by both sides and be bound by the Big Heart Demon Oath to ensure the basic rules and order. Otherwise, wouldn't the dignified cultivators of the Wanxian League be no different from the savages in the Savage Land?
Moreover, that Fifth Elder was only at the peak of King Pill Stage. Although he wasn't good at fighting, his cultivation base was at the fourth stage of Yuanying Stage! Moreover, he also cultivated a high-rank cultivation method and possessed a spiritual treasure. Even ten peak King Pill Stage cultivators could easily deal with him — he wasn't a small fry Yuanying Stage cultivator from an ordinary sect. It was basically impossible for a cultivator from one of the Five Uniques to challenge him! Previously in the White Moon Country, he and Wang Wu exchanged two moves. Although the opposite party was extremely slippery and quickly escaped, in just two moves, he had already gained the upper hand, forcing the opposite party to defend herself.
Therefore, Daoist Master Zhifeng didn't understand where that woman's arrogance came from. Could it be that she wanted to rely on the geographical advantage of the Lingjian School to secretly play some tricks? Ha, during the duel, there was the Big Heart Demon Oath. Casually using external forces to break the rules would only make one's death more miserable! Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Immortal Cultivation World to have such a set of rules. Even if he wasn't proficient in fighting, as a scholar, he was extremely proficient in these rules. With his cultivation base at the fourth stage of Yuanying Stage, even Deity Stage Daoist Master Feng Yin wouldn't be able to interfere with his duel with Wang Wu.
For a time, Daoist Master Zhifeng had too many reasons to accept Wang Wu's challenge. However, his more than four hundred years of lifespan made him especially cautious.
No one would court their own death like this; there must be a trap. Especially that Wang Wu, who was crafty and cunning. Although his odds of winning were extremely high, there was no need for him to take such a risk.
Thinking of this, Daoist Master Zhifeng couldn't help but hesitate. All of this was seen by the Fifth Elder, who suddenly laughed.
"Oh, Student Zhifeng, are you afraid? I, an insignificant, ant-like King Pill, challenged you, an unreachable Yuanying Stage old monster, and now you're afraid? "
The Fifth Elder said, and then helplessly sighed, "It seems that Daoist Master King Pill can no longer satisfy you. However, considering your cowardly nature, if it was a Xudan or Foundation Establishment cultivator, you probably wouldn't dare to fight. But this is easy to deal with, my Lingjian School doesn't have anything else, but rookies are everywhere! I won't choose anyone else, I'll call my good-for-nothing disciple to play with you. Rest assured, he has just crossed the threshold of Qi Cultivating Stage, and hasn't even begun to practice formal spells. Moreover, his aptitude is stupid, and his vegetable garden is a complete mess … Wang Lu, come in! "
Then, a youth wearing a red and white robe came in. It was Wang Lu, who had a tacit understanding with his Master.
Seeing Wang Lu come in, the Fifth Elder patted him on the shoulder, pointed at the unusually ugly Daoist Master Zhifeng, and said, "You see that old coward over there? He was shocked by Master's King Pill cultivation and doesn't dare to fight with Master alone. It just so happens that your cultivation level is low, and your aptitude is dull, so you can represent Master and exchange a few moves with him. Remember to be lenient; good or bad, he has lived for more than four hundred years, so he still has a thick face. "
Wang Lu suddenly understood and nodded his head. His expression was as if he was asking for something, which complemented his Master.
Even though Daoist Master Zhifeng was a Yuanying Stage cultivator and was naturally cautious, he was still angered by this clumsy and deliberate performance. However, before he could say anything, Wang Lu's words made him so angry that he almost fainted!
"Master, although you are gentle and considerate, and can be said to be a role model for women, you still don't understand the psychology of cowards. If you let me, a Qi Cultivating Stage expert, fight with him, he would be scared to the point of peeing in his pants; that would make him lose his face."
Wang Wu, of course, didn't really expect Wang Lu, who had only cultivated for more than two years, to fight with a Yuanying Stage old monster. Hearing Wang Lu's words, she very cooperatively nodded her head. "Good, good, you have a meticulous mind that even Master can't compare to. So, in your opinion, who should we let him fight? If a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator can't satisfy him, do you want to find a mortal world's martial artist? "
Wang Lu waved his hand. "A mortal world's martial artist is not inferior to a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator; they are also very good at fighting. Although that old thing from Shengjing Sect has no balls, he still has a brain, so he certainly won't agree."
Wang Wu pretended to be surprised. "If a mortal world's martial artist can't do it, then what should we do?"
Wang Lu sneered. "Isn't that simple? Big Yellow, come in! "
"Woof!"
Hearing Wang Lu's call, the Ashy River Dog Hachi Chi ran in from outside the door and excitedly looked at Wang Lu.
Out of nowhere, Wang Lu took out a bone and threw it to it, and then pointed at Daoist Master Zhifeng. "In a moment, you go fight with him, remember to be lenient."
"Woof!?"
In a split second, Daoist Master Zhifeng's eyes turned blood red; his supreme dao heart was unable to suppress his boiling anger.
"You, you're courting death!"
