Hearing Nan Wang's words, Duke Of He and the others felt helpless, thinking that the Aoyama Sword Sect was not only good at saying harsh things, but also good at saying weird things.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the Principal Justice of the Guocheng Temple tried to dissuade them.
Duke Of He leaned closer with his hand on the armrest of the chair, and said in a low voice, "We can't start a war because of this, can we?"
Nan Wang arched his eyebrows slightly, saying, "Why not?"
If it were any other Cultivation sect, they wouldn't start a war even if they encountered such a situation, because their opponent was the Zhongzhou School.
In the whole world, only the Aoyama Sect had the qualification and style to start a war.
The atmosphere became tense again.
Duke Of He said hastily, "But Zen Master has said it, and I believe the Peak Master of Qingrong must understand that even though it was Wei Chenzi who did it, it wasn't the intention of the Zhongzhou School."
Nan Wang sneered, but didn't say anything. The rest of the disciples of Aoyama also remained silent.
What the Young Zen Master said was right.
The Aoyama Sect didn't think that assassinating Zhao Layue was the collective intention of the Zhongzhou School, because it would do no good to the Zhongzhou School.
Zhao Layue had natural Dao quality, but such a talented disciple was not rare in the history of the Cultivation world. Didn't Tianguang Peak have Zhuo Rusui?
If she was killed, the future of the Aoyama Sect would be affected, but its current strength wouldn't be affected.
Most importantly, she was the personal disciple of the Immortal Jingyang and the Peak Master of Shenmo Peak, so she had a high status.
If the Zhongzhou School really wanted to kill her, it meant that they wanted to start a war with the Aoyama Sect.
But if that happened, the Zhongzhou School would make a big move to shake the foundation of Aoyama.
Not to mention Zhao Layue, even Nan Wang didn't have the right to do so.
The Zhongzhou School could only target the Sect Master of Aoyama and Yuan Qijing, the two figures in the Heavenly Arrival State.
Seeing the reactions of Nan Wang and the others, Duke Of He knew that Zen Master was right. The biggest crisis of the human race wouldn't happen. The most important thing now was to find out the truth of the case and find out what price Zhongzhou School was willing to pay to repair the relationship between the two sects.
"If this was really done by the Old Ones, has their hands already reached into the Cloud-Dream Mountain?"
"Zhongzhou Lin did Lin did Sect, Bulao Lin and Yan said, School, One Two, Chong Qijing and Of Two, School, One Six, Yun.
"One more question. If it was Bulao Lin who asked the devil men of the Underworld to kill Wei Chang … Wei Chenzi, why didn't they clean up the traces? If they didn't have enough time, they wouldn't have asked the devil men of the Underworld to do it. Even Bulao Lin wouldn't be willing to bear the crime of colluding with the Underworld. "
The chief commander of the Pure Heaven Bureau continued.
Nan Wang said, "I don't care what secrets there are. Since it was the elder of your Zhongzhou School who did it, you should say what you should say."
It was quiet again.
Nan Wang's meaning was clear.
It was the Zhongzhou School who should say something.
What they should say was of course an apology and a price.
Many gazes were fixed on a spot.
There was a tall figure there.
Lo Huainan had been standing here since he arrived at the Nishiyama House in the morning.
He hadn't moved from the beginning to the end, nor had he taken a sip of water, nor had he eaten anything. His attitude was quite proper.
It wasn't until now that the Aoyama Sect finally started to question him, that he made his first statement.
"Our Zhongzhou School will bear the full responsibility for this matter."
What he said was quite nice, but like many things in the world, the nicer it was, the more unrealistic it was. Since it couldn't be described, there was no way to test it.
"Can you bear the responsibility?" asked Nan Wang, arching his eyebrows.
Lo Huainan said with a normal expression, "Master's wife has already gone south after hearing the news. She should have reached the Tianguang Peak by now."
The Chief Justice of the Guocheng Temple uttered the name of Buddha, saying, "That's good."
Duke Of He also showed a delighted expression, saying, "That's the best."
Nan Wang fell silent, saying nothing more.
The Sect Master of the Zhongzhou School was the most important figure in the Cultivation world. If there was anyone on the Cloud-Dream Mountain who had a higher status than him, it would be his Cultivation partner, who was also in the Heavenly Arrival State.
She was the Master's wife that Lo Huainan had mentioned.
The wife of the Sect Master went to the Aoyama Sect in person, indicating the sincerity of the Zhongzhou School.
She would discuss the details with the Sect Master of the Aoyama Sect and Yuan Qijing, and it was believed that the Zhongzhou School would have to pay a high price for it.
In comparison, the wager between Jing Jiu and Tong Yan regarding the distribution of crystals at the chess tournament of the Plum Meeting was not worth mentioning.
Seeing the Zhongzhou School's attitude, Duke Of He and the Chief Justice of the Guocheng Temple both felt relieved.
Seeing Nan Wang's reaction, they thought that all they needed to do now was to comfort Zhao Layue.
Nan Wang knew what they were thinking, saying, "You're wrong. It's not enough."
"Who else?" asked the Duke Of He with a slightly surprised expression.
"Jing Jiu," said Nan Wang.
Hearing this name, the people present were all startled. In their minds, even though Jing Jiu was a talented swordsman trained by the Aoyama Sect, and he had become famous after the chess tournament of the Plum Meeting, and he was the personal disciple of the Immortal Jingyang, he still wasn't qualified to participate in such an important event.
Yet, Lo Huainan was very quiet, as if she had guessed it.
Yao Songshan said, "Senior Master Jing Jiu is a person who bears grudges."
The disciples of Aoyama nodded in agreement.
Back when Liu Shisui had just entered the Sword-Washing Stream, he was beaten a few times by Gu Han in order to see Jing Jiu. Later, at the Inherited Sword Competition, Jing Jiu beat Gu Qing back to him.
At last year's Sword Trial, Jing Jiu beat Ma Hua of Liangwang Peak to the bottom of the stone forest and wounded Gu Han severely. In the end, he even broke Guo Nanshan's sword. It was a revenge.
At this moment, the news came to the Nishiyama House.
They learned that Jing Jiu had gone to the Zhao Manor House.
He didn't stay there for long before he left.
Nobody knew what he had talked about with Zhao Layue.
"Something happened when he left the Zhao Manor House."
Duke Of He said with a complicated expression, "Mo Xi, the disciple of Shui Yue Nunnery, had his limbs broken and thrown to Jing Jiu's feet."
Nan Wang glanced at Lo Huainan, saying nothing.
Everybody understood what she meant.
This was the order that Shui Yue Nunnery had given to the Aoyama Sect.
Many people, including Duke Of He, had guessed that it was Guo Dong who had dealt with the matter.
That young woman had the demeanor of her master, as fierce as the west wind.
Lo Huainan suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to ask her Young Sister to persuade Jing Jiu.
…
…
In front of the Zhao Manor House.
Mo Xi was lying by Jing Jiu's feet, covered in blood.
She lifted her head and stared at Jing Jiu, her eyes full of despair and hatred.
Jing Jiu gestured for the caretaker of the Zhao Manor House to come over, saying, "Send him back to Shui Yue Nunnery in the same way."
Shui Yue Nunnery's style was peaceful and quiet, until Lian Sanyue came out.
Jing Jiu was quite familiar with this kind of hardcore scene.
He understood what she meant.
It was enough for him to see it.
Jing Jiu turned around and left.
Mo Xi yelled sternly, "Don't you want to know why I did it?"
"I don't."
Jing Jiu didn't halt his steps.
Seeing Jing Jiu disappear into the darkness of the night, Mo Xi was stunned.
