Yan Li recognized that the one who spoke was Shangguan Qingyun, the Peak Lord of Heart Sword Peak.
The only thing that didn't match his name was his appearance. His skin was dark, his eyes were drooping, his forehead was wide, his nose was high, and his head was full of black hair with a tail in the middle. A few strands hung down from his temples.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he did not look like someone who practiced the [Music Listening] secret art at all. If someone were to recognize him, they would definitely recognize him as the Peak Lord of Bright Sword Peak.
Bright Sword Peak focused on killing swords, and their killing intent emanated from their bones. However, other than their Peak Lord, there was no one else.
Yan Li had seen the Peak Lord of Bright Sword Peak before, and he had left a deep impression on him.
Duan Changtian was just as he had been that day, speaking in a refined and courteous manner. "I agree with Senior Brother Shangguan. We should conduct a public trial to raise the Sword Court's prestige in the Immortal Dimension."
"That's not right," Su Xiaojian said.
"Xiaojian, what do you have to say?" Shangguan Qingyun asked.
Su Xiaojian said, "There are two reasons why I suggested the trial by the Court Of Sword. First, the evil deeds of the Heaven Worshippers are uncountable. Now that they have been captured, the world will only forgive them if they pay with their lives. However, as everyone knows, the Heaven Worshippers cannot be killed. Even if their core is destroyed, they will reappear after a while. Wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot?"
"Second," he continued, "Handing the trial to the Dao Court is' justifiable '. Who asked the Court Of Sword to not have a single disciple who joined the Heavenly Strategies Tower?"
"Hmph!" Shangguan Qingyun said coldly, "Junior Brother Xiaojian, you know that joining the Heavenly Strategies Tower will mean being controlled by the Dao Court. Why do you say such a thing?"
"The facts are right before our eyes." Su Xiaojian said, "The Court Of Sword has been criticized for being 'self-righteous' for a long time. Now that we suddenly judge the Heaven Worshippers as a righteous person, I'm afraid it is not justifiable."
"Do we need to take a qualification test to judge the Heaven Worshippers?" At this moment, another Peak Lord said with a smile.
This person had a fair face and bright eyes. He carried a sword box of four colors on his back. He was the Peak Lord of the Royal Sword Peak, Lord Yangquan.
Guan Shanhai looked around and fixed his eyes on Ye Qinglan. "Lan, what do you think about the pros and cons of this?"
Thinking of Yan Li's request, Ye Qinglan said after thinking for a while, "I think the Peak Lords are right. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose. However, I am still on Junior Brother Sword's side."
"Oh?" Guan Shanhai laughed. "Why is that?"
"Of course it's personal." Ye Qinglan said without hesitation, "As long as it doesn't endanger the Soul Sword Mount and the Court Of Sword, it depends on our friendship."
"Only you are honest enough." Guan Shan Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Everyone has heard it. Rather than arguing pointlessly, let's vote. Who is in favor of handing it over to the Court Of Sword? "
Su Xiaojian and Ye Qinglan naturally counted as two.
The rest of the people looked at each other and didn't seem to agree.
Lu Wuzhang, the Peak Lord of the Sword Discussion Peak, hesitated and said, "Will it take a long time to judge the followers of Worship of Heaven?"
"That's for sure." Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed. She smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you have to know, from announcing the news, deciding the procedure, waiting for all the envoys to arrive, sentencing on the Trial Day, and finally the execution … The whole process is very tedious. Senior Brother, you won't be able to relax."
"No! No way! "Lu Wuzhang shouted," I still need to study the sword techniques. Don't bother me with these things. I vote for it! "
"The rest of the people are all against it?" Guan Shanhai said.
The other three nodded in agreement.
Duan Changtian smiled and said, "Although they were arrested by the Cangjian Peak, we should follow the ideas of Senior Brother Sect Master. The Court Of Sword is a big family. We share honor and disgrace together. Bright Sword Peak is willing to do our best to protect the followers of Worship of Heaven."
Everyone looked at Guan Shanhai.
The last vote was in Guan Shanhai's hand. However, even if there was a result of the vote, he still had to make the final decision. It was just a reference.
This was Guan Shanhai's prestige in the Court Of Sword. Currently, no one could match him.
Guan Shanhai thought for a while and said, "This is really difficult for me."
Duan Changtian said, "Senior Brother Sect Master, you don't have to be difficult. Just make the decision according to your heart."
"That's right." Shangguan Qingyun said.
Guan Shanhai said, "I can understand the concerns and wishes of the Peak Lord. However … "
He paused and said, "I still think it's more appropriate for the Court Of Sword to judge."
Ye Qinglan frowned and didn't say anything.
"Senior Brother Sect Master is wise. I will arrange it now!" Duan Changtian said.
Outside the hall, Yan Li couldn't help but frown. He was about to think of a solution when Su Xiaojian suddenly said, "Wait."
"Senior Brother Sect Master has already made the decision. Junior Brother Xiaojian, what else do you have to say?" Duan Changtian said.
Su Xiaojian closed his eyes and said with difficulty, "The Cangjian Peak is willing to hand over the Golden Peak …"
"No!" Ye Qinglan was shocked. He stood up and objected, "Junior Brother Xiaojian, the Golden Peak is the last property of the Cangjian Peak. Don't you think about your disciples?"
"I have thought about it." Su Xiaojian said.
The Peak Lords looked at each other, not knowing what he was planning.
Guan Shanhai's eyes flashed and he said, "Junior Brother Xiaojian, hand over the Golden Peak. The disciples will be enlightened in the future and the Cangjian Peak won't be able to get the talisman stones."
"I know." Su Xiaojian said.
"Good. Junior Brother Xiaojian has sacrificed a lot for the disciples of the Court Of Sword. Let's hand the Fengtian Sect over to the Dao Court. "Guan Shanhai made the decision.
…
In the side hall of the Da Qian Temple, Ye Qinglan stared at Yan Li and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Yan Li said.
"You are the one who made this happen!" Ye Qinglan said coldly.
"Chief, please explain." Yan Li felt uneasy.
"Do you know what the Golden Peak is?" Ye Qinglan asked.
"The place where the disciples of the Court Of Sword get enlightened." Yan Li said.
"Every time a disciple is enlightened, the Cangjian Peak can get a silver talisman stone. But not every disciple enters for the enlightenment. You should know that the Golden Peak is supported by the array and has the densest star power in the whole Pillar of Heaven Mountains. Ordinary cultivators can get twice the result with half the effort. "
Ye Qinglan turned around with a cold face and looked out of the window. "The Court Of Sword can get about 50,000 soul stones every year because of this."
"50,000!" Yan Li couldn't help but be shocked.
"Do you know what 50,000 soul stones mean to the Cangjian Peak?" Ye Qinglan asked.
"I don't know." Yan Li secretly calculated how many Soul Stones each person could get, but what Ye Qinglan said next struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"There is a price for the Cangjian Peak to have the Pillar of Heaven Mountains Taoist rite." Ye Qinglan sneered and said, "The maintenance of the array of the Pillar of Heaven Mountains is the responsibility of the Cangjian Peak. Every year, they have to pay more than 55,000 soul stones. Losing the Golden Peak means that the Cangjian Peak has to find 50,000 soul stones from other places. "
