There were nine seats in the grand hall of Xilai Peak.
The seat at the head of the table and the two seats to his right were empty.
The Immortal Sect Master and Yuan Qijing didn't come.
The representatives of Tianguang Peak were Elder Bai Rujing and Elder Mo Chi. The expression on Bai Rujing's face was gloomy, as Liu Shisui didn't agree to be his disciple again, which damaged his reputation on the Green Mountain. Elder Mo Chi's face was still as dark as before, but it was evident that he was a bit nervous. It was unclear if it was because he was going to give a speech or something else.
Chi Yan, Duan Liantian and other elders had arrived. The representative of Shanghai Peak was the Three-Foot Sword.
Guangyuan Zhenren, the Peak Master of Shiyue, didn't show up because he was behind closed doors.
Chen Youtian, the Peak Master of Bihu, came in person, but he had indicated that he would abstain from all the matters, indicating that he wanted to keep a low profile.
The Peak Master of Yunxing and the Peak Master of Qingrong, Nan Wang, sat in their respective seats.
Liangwang Peak also had a seat, with Guo Nanshan standing beside it.
The Shenmo Peak's seat was at the end. Zhao Layue sat quietly in the chair, and Jing Jiu sat behind her.
Mei Li, Chi Yan and other elders of the peaks also had their own seats. Many masters of the nine peaks had come, but the Daoist Hall was too large, so it still looked empty.
A patch of thin cloud appeared on the ground that looked like black jade, and Fang Jingtian walked out slowly.
He was the host of the Summit today. As his line of sight swept over the faces of the people in the hall, the quiet hall became so quiet that even the sound of the falling cloud could be heard.
In the past, Fang Jingtian's image in Aoyama was quite ordinary. He always wore a smile on his face, and he was always seen chatting with others at the Sword Trial.
Many people noticed that he didn't have a hint of a smile on his face or in his eyes after he showed up today, so they couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
The Peak Master of Yunxing and some elders felt this person looked strange, as if they had never seen him before.
This could only mean that the master of Xilai Peak they knew was not Fang Jingtian's true appearance.
Without any opening remarks or pleasantries, Fang Jingtian said directly, "Let's talk about Bulao Lin first."
It was still the same old saying. For cultivators, time was the least important, but it was also the most important. No one was willing to spend time on this.
Guo Nanshan came to the scene and explained the relevant events, from eliminating the demons at the Muddy River to the destruction of the Cloud Platform a few days ago. He didn't leave out all the details, but at least he didn't omit any important information. Then, he described the follow-up matters in detail, focusing on the distribution of Bulao Lin's inheritance in Zhaoge City.
The elders of various peaks started to ask questions, and Guo Nanshan answered them one by one. Liu Shisui was also called to the scene to answer a few questions. A stupid elder of Xilai Peak asked about Lo Huainan in order to find fault with Liu Shisui; but he was interrupted by Fang Jingtian before he could finish, and Nan Wang scolded him a few times for being an idiot.
Liu Shisui didn't need to answer.
The discussion about Bulao Lin was over. Next, the disciples of various peaks discussed the merits, which were decided by Shanghai Peak.
Aoyama had existed for tens of thousands of years, so there was a comprehensive system about rewards, punishments, and daily evaluation of merits. Xilai Peak was used to this kind of system, so they couldn't find any fault with it. There was only one small problem — the Master of the North Crane Pavilion had brought three inherited swords disciples out of the mountain and was rewarded with magic pills. So he went back to Yunxing Peak to break through to the State of Free Travel. The two sides had different opinions on the level of the magic pills, but they soon reached an agreement.
It wasn't until today that Zhao Layue realized that the number of merits taught in the outer sect was so different from that taught in the Hall of Sword Washing. She also realized that the system of Aoyama was so comprehensive and complicated, and it wasn't so easy to get magic pills and magic arts.
She really didn't care about these things.
There were too many magic pills and magic arts left by Senior Grandmaster Jingyang, and there were too few disciples in Shenmo Peak. They couldn't distribute all of them, so there was no need to evaluate the merits.
After the discussion was over, Fang Jingtian looked at Mo Chi and said, "Young Brother, please."
Mo Chi was honest and slow. Today's Summit Meeting also had its own secret, which was not what he wanted. So he thought it was better to start with a trivial matter.
"That … that … Ying City … that Vixen … why …"
His stammering got worse due to nervousness, so he couldn't finish his sentence for a while. But the others in the hall had already understood what he meant, and they all looked at Fang Jingtian.
The explanation given by Fang Jingtian was very simple, "Aoyama is not a place to hide evil."
If it was a meeting in a dynasty in the human world, this powerful statement might be able to move many officials. But those who were qualified to attend the Summit Meeting of Aoyama were all Cultivation practitioners with long lifespans. It was hard for them to change their judgment because of emotional fluctuations.
Mei Li asked, "Can't she abandon the darkness for the light?"
"If you have slaughtered all the people in the world, don't think you can become a Buddha after putting down your sword, because Aoyama is not Guocheng Temple."
Fang Jingtian looked at Liu Shisui and said, "She has been in Bulao Lin for more than twenty years. You should know better than us how many evil deeds she has done and how many innocent people she has killed."
Liu Shisui didn't say anything. He had known that these things couldn't be concealed. After the Cloud Platform was destroyed, all the files were taken away by the orthodox sects, and the Pure Heaven Bureau of the Imperial court was in charge of sorting them out. Of course, they had to inform all the sects about the progress.
An elder of Xilai Peak came to the meeting room and distributed the relevant files compiled by the Pure Heaven Bureau to the crowd.
Seeing the clear records on the files, the expressions of the elders of the peaks changed slightly. Mo Chi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't make a sound in the end.
Zhao Layue put the files down by the table after glancing at them. She didn't pass them to Jing Jiu, because she knew he didn't care about them.
Liu Shisui didn't take the files. He had read them a few times in the quiet room of the Cloud Platform, so he knew what they were about.
"Considering the crimes this vixen has committed, her death sentence is enough to reward her. It's enough that she is still alive; it's impossible for her to stay in Aoyama."
Fang Jingtian made a conclusion on the matter calmly.
Nobody objected.
Liu Shisui remained silent.
Elder Mo Chi glanced at him sympathetically, and then asked Fang Jingtian again, "Then … why does Xilai Peak want to prevent … Young Master Liu from being rewarded?"
The orthodox sects had joined hands to destroy the Cloud Platform, and the Western Sea Sword School was in a bad state. The main contributor to Aoyama's success was of course Liu Shisui.
Normally, the Aoyama Sect should have rewarded him with magic medicines and magic treasures a long time ago, but they had delayed it because of Xilai Peak.
This was the main topic of today's Summit Meeting of Aoyama.
"That's right. I didn't agree to it because a disciple raised an objection. Before the investigation is completed, the so-called reward has to be suspended."
Fang Jingtian's tone was still normal.
Elder Mo Chi was taken aback, asking, "What objection?"
Jian Ruyun walked out from the deep end of the hall, his face pale and haggard, and his eyes slightly red. It was obvious that he hadn't gotten over the pain of losing his younger brother.
Seeing this disciple ranked fourth on Liangwang Peak, Chen Youtian, Nan Wang, and the others were startled, not knowing what was going on.
Liu Shisui took a glance at Jing Jiu, and then withdrew his gaze.
On the day he returned to Aoyama, he had told Jing Jiu that someone was investigating that matter.
Jing Jiu had told him at the time that he should think about it when the matter came to an end; it would be a waste to think about it in advance.
Today's matter had finally arrived.
