It was the suggestion of the Pure Heaven Bureau that Zhu Jie stood out to provoke them.
The Pure Heaven Bureau had already arranged the magic army to guard the surroundings of the Lone Mountain, but they were worried that they would escape by riding their swords, so they decided to do it on the Cloud Platform. There were many Cultivation swordsmen here, and the number of swordsmen from the Western Sea Sword School was even greater. The only thing that worried the Pure Heaven Bureau was that the Western Sea Sword School might be displeased by the disruption of the Four-Seas Banquet. As such, the best way to deal with them was to find a way to provoke them. As long as they attacked first, the Western Sea Sword School couldn't blame the Imperial Court, and they might even help them.
The best candidate was of course Zhu Jie, because he had a good relationship with the Western Sea Sword School, so he could speak freely in the grand hall, and his words were really unpleasant.
"Or is it because you're too ugly? Did someone cut your face a few times with a knife when you were a child and disfigured you? "
"Of course, it's also possible that you're so beautiful that you don't want others to see your face."
"Take off your conical hat. I like pretty girls. If I like you, I'll take good care of you."
Zhu Jie kept on talking, his words extremely frivolous and humiliating.
The Cultivation practitioners in the grand hall felt it strange, thinking how vulgar his words were. Even if he had a good relationship with the Western Sea Sword School, he shouldn't be afraid of offending the master by making such a scene. As for why he was so confident … his brother was dead, and the Royal Concubine didn't have a good relationship with him.
Zhao Layue remained silent, and didn't retort no matter how he insulted her.
Nobody noticed that the two disciples of the Aoyama Sect had terrible expressions on their faces. Yao Songshan of Liangwang Peak narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, ready to kill someone.
Xiang Wanshu of the Zhongzhou School and Mo Xi of Shui Yue Nunnery were sitting next to the Aoyama Sect, and they noticed the change in Yao Songshan's energy, their expressions a bit grave.
"Little girl …"
Zhu Jie kept on insulting Zhao Layue, full of malice and mockery.
Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly.
Suddenly, a bright red light appeared in the spacious and empty hall.
There was a faint smell of blood in the fragrant air.
There was a hole in Zhu Jie's throat, and blood gushed out like a waterfall.
The flying sword pierced through the air and returned to Zhao Layue, disappearing into her palm.
Only then did Zhu Jie realize what had happened. His eyes were filled with shock and despair as he covered his throat with both hands.
Blood flowed out from between his fingers. The scene was extremely tragic.
No one could save his life. Zhu Jie's face was pale, and he slowly knelt on the ground. He let out a few sounds like broken bellows, and just like that, he stopped breathing.
The hall was in an expanse of shock. Many cultivators stood up and looked over with the intention of seeing exactly what had happened.
Countless gazes fell on Zhao Layue. Other than shock, there was also a lot of fear.
She was more than a thousand feet away from Zhu Jie, yet she was able to kill him with one strike. Moreover, the sword was hidden in her palm.
According to the most popular state classification of Aoyama Sect in the Southern Continent, didn't that mean she had already entered the middle state of the Undefeated?
Xiang Wanshu and Mo Xi glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
This young woman with the conical hat should be about the same age as them, but her state was actually higher than theirs?
Who was she? And what kind of sword was that flying sword of hers? How could it have such a terrifying lethal intent?
"How dare you commit murder in public in broad daylight!"
An angry voice rang out outside the hall.
The officials of the Pure Heaven Bureau had finally appeared.
Seeing Zhu Jie lying in a pool of blood, Shi Fengchen's face turned livid, his heart heavy.
Zhu Jie had done what he had asked, and successfully enraged his opponent, but … he couldn't stop her from killing him.
This made Shi Fengchen feel a sense of defeat that he had never felt before, and he was extremely angry.
Shi Fengchen took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said to the cultivators in the hall, "I want all the immortal masters to know that this murderer with the conical hat is a wanted criminal by the Imperial court. She has killed nearly one hundred people in the last two years, and has done many evil deeds. Don't let her escape!"
The Cultivation practitioners who had attended the meeting of the Pure Heaven Bureau in Haizhou City were the first to react.
They stood up from their seats, calling out their swords and magic treasures. The hall was filled with green lights, full of lethal intent.
Xiang Wanshu looked at Zhao Layue, raising his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect this young woman to be an evil person.
Mo Xi's gaze also fell on her, her willowy eyebrows furrowed, showing a disgusted expression.
To the surprise of the officials of the Pure Heaven Bureau and the Cultivation practitioners, the two monk doctors of the Guocheng Temple didn't move, neither did Zuo Yushi of Ōzawa. Even more surprisingly, Yao Songshan didn't move either. Wasn't he the immortal master of Liangwang Peak of the Aoyama Sect famous for his warlike and hatred of evildoers?
Zhao Layue killed Zhu Jie with one swing of her sword from a distance of more than three hundred yards. Her Cultivation state was indeed very high, but there were too many swordsmen in the hall, such as Elder He Zhichong of Kunlun, Xiang Wanshu and the others, not to mention that this was the home court of the Western Sea Sword School, and the elder sitting in the main seat was a highly achieved swordsman in the State of Free Travel!
Normally, Zhao Layue couldn't kill Zhu Jie under such circumstances.
Her attack was too sudden.
Others could kill without saying a word, but she could kill without saying a word.
Most importantly, no one would have thought that she would dare to use her sword to kill someone in this place.
This was the Cloudy Platform, an important place of the Western Sea Sword School. Though the Formation had been suspended because of the Four-Seas Banquet, killing someone here was tantamount to provoking the Western Sea Sword School.
The Elder of the Western Sea Sword School looked at Zhao Layue coldly, and the powerful Piercing Discernment had already enveloped her.
Xiwang Sun still didn't show up, nor did he make a sound.
Nobody knew that this mysterious swordsman of the Western Sea was observing everything in the deep end of the hall in Silence.
Everything was under his control.
He wanted to see how the two young men with conical hats would deal with the current situation, and then he would let them go.
"You will pay for the blood debt of the Sect Masters of Three today."
He Zhichong, the Elder of the Kunlun Sect, stood up slowly and said to Zhao Layue.
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp Full Moon whizzed through the air, chopping toward Zhao Layue with an extremely fierce killing intent.
Suddenly, a flying sword flew up from below.
The flying sword was shining brightly, and its speed was so fast that it looked like a perfectly straight blue line.
A loud clang!
The Full Moon was chopped by the flying sword from below, and flew back to the Elder of the Kunlun Sect at an angle, spinning in the air and making a whining sound.
The Elder of the Kunlun Sect had a ruddy face, and his hair and beard were all standing on end. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, and he looked a little embarrassed.
The flying sword was indeed powerful, but the state of the swordsman was not higher than his, so he was unprepared and suffered a loss.
