In the cave, a figure stood in front of the sickbed, looking at the unconscious Qi Jian.
His gaze moved from her pale face to her small abdomen that was covered in layers of bandages, and then moved to the faintly green fingers. It grew colder and colder. Hearing the sounds of coercion coming from outside the cave, thinking of the voices he had heard in the Sword Rest, thinking of the countless voices he had heard in the last several dozen days, his voice also grew colder.
"I do not accept."
The figure said these four words to all of Mount Li, then stood up and walked out of the cave. Hearing his voice, all of Mount Li fell silent. The Sect Master calmly looked at Xiao Songgong, the corners of his lips perking up, revealing a smile. This smile hid many meanings, but it was no longer bitter.
The door to the cave was pushed open and that figure appeared under the clear blue sky, in front of several hundred gazes. It was a young man, tall and straight. His Mount Li Sword Garb fluttered in the wind. He had clearly not recovered from his heavy injuries and his face was pale, but this did not diminish the heroic spirit between his brows, and he also had a free and uninhibited air.
Seeing this young man, countless cries of joy rose up from the main peak of Mount Li.
"Eldest Brother!"
"Eldest Brother has woken up!"
"Eldest Brother has woken up!"
Cries of joy quickly spread from the main peak to the other peaks of Mount Li. For a moment, the mountains were stirred up. Today, Mount Li's internal strife, the enormous pressure and chill that Martial Granduncle's old secrets had brought to the disciples had actually been greatly erased.
This young man was naturally the Eldest Brother of the Mount Li Sword Sect's inner sect, the head of the Divine Kingdom's Seven Laws: Qiushan Jun.
The several dozen Mount Li disciples in front of the cave rushed forward. Qiushan Jun shook his head, indicating that there was no need to support him. He slowly walked to the front of the steps and first bowed to the Sect Master, then looked at the people outside the sword glows. His eyes were calm, and even when he saw his own father, he was not moved in the slightest.
Seeing Qiushan Jun wake up, everyone had different emotions, but the majority were mostly pleasantly surprised. Even Xiao Songgong and the two Discipline Hall elders were not too vigilant. The Qiushan clan head saw this scene and confirmed the prestige his son had in the hearts of the younger generation of Mount Li. His eyes grew even brighter and he lightly stroked his short beard.
Without waiting for Qiushan Jun to speak, Xiao Song Gong spoke first: "Martial Nephew Qiushan, you have been unconscious for dozens of days and nights, you should not know what happened. Please wait for a moment, do not misunderstand."
At this moment, in front of the Immortal's cave at the summit of Mount Li, swords were broken and blood was spilling. The scene looked abnormally bloody. Anyone could imagine that when Qiushan Jun woke up and saw this scene, he would naturally think that Xiao Songgong and the others were trying to force him to abdicate, which was why he had said those four words before. Xiao Songgong and the others thought that once they explained the current situation, Qiushan Jun would naturally know what to do.
No matter what, Xiao Songgong and the others wanted to obtain Qiushan Jun's support. This was because in this internal strife of Mount Li, the Qiushan clan was one of the two great helpers of their faction. Moreover, Qiushan Jun's position in the hearts of the younger generation of Mount Li disciples was of the utmost importance in ending this internal strife and helping them take complete control of the situation.
After a moment of silence, Qiushan Jun said, "Martial Uncle, please speak."
Bai Cai couldn't help but feel anxious. He wanted to say something to his senior apprentice-brother. Unexpectedly, the Sect Master stopped him. He even placed the sword in his hand back into the sword glow in front of the cave.
The joy of seeing Eldest Brother wake up gradually faded. All the peaks fell silent. Everyone once more listened to Xiao Songgong narrate what had happened in the Garden of Zhou, what Su Li had done.
Elder Xiao Songgong's voice resounded in front of the cave. Qiushan Jun said nothing, no emotion visible on his pale face, but his right hand that hung at his side began to tremble.
It was a sign of rage, of uncontrollable rage.
Many people noticed this detail and grew more and more nervous. Bai Cai was even sadder to the extreme. He thought to himself, what should I do next? How can I become enemies with Eldest Brother?
Xiao Song Gong finished his words.
After a moment of silence, Qiushan Jun asked, "Martial Uncle, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Hearing this, the last unease in the hearts of Xiao Songgong and the others was completely dispelled. The Elder of the Discipline Hall said harmoniously, "We have already decided that Qi Jian will be handed over to the Discipline Hall for trial, and the Sect Leader will temporarily abdicate. Since you have woken up, of course you will be the Sect Leader."
The elder surnamed Jiang from the Longevity Sect added, "Zhexiu and Chen Changsheng, who colluded with Qi Jian, should be punished. The Longevity Sect and Holy Maiden Peak will jointly write a letter to the Li Palace. The Pope must also give an explanation."
Xiao Songgong looked at him and said, "Martial Nephew didn't know the specific situation before, so he misunderstood and said those four words in the cave. Now you should know what you should do."
Countless pairs of eyes fell on Qiushan Jun. People could guess what he would choose. Because the accusations of Xiao Songgong and the others were true, Qi Jian really was the daughter of Su Li and the Demon Princess. In order to prevent the internal strife of Mount Li from continuing to bleed, Qiushan Jun might struggle in pain, but he would assuredly make a swift decision. This was the magnanimity that a person who wished to accomplish great things had to possess, and the entire continent knew that even when he was a child, Qiushan Jun's actions were very magnanimous, very majestic!
He would assuredly make the choice that most suited Mount Li's interests, most conformed to the righteous path of the human world. Humans and demons could not coexist. Before this, what did the so-called kindness of a teacher, the kindness of teaching skills, count for!
The Qiushan clan head calmly gazed at his son, his heart filled with extreme pride. The youngest Star Condensation cultivator in history, the youngest Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect in history, and in a few more years, he would be the youngest Sect Master of the Longevity Sect in history, and in a few more years, he would naturally be the youngest Saint in history. In the long river of history, who could be more outstanding than his own son?? His pride didn't just come from this. It also came from Qiushan Jun's performance in this matter. He believed that just like Liang Xiaoxiao's death, Qiushan Jun's coma and awakening were also perfect arrangements.
Qiushan Jun's coma was very timely, and his awakening was even more timely. When he was unconscious, he had jumped out of the internal strife of Mount Li. When he awoke, the strife had already come to an end. Only he could end this strife. He was the only one, so he was naturally the best candidate. He did not need to bear the infamy of Xiao Songgong and the others charging into the main peak to force an abdication. He only needed to sleep and he would be able to obtain all the benefits. In a little while, if he could shed a few tears, he could even gain the praise of the world for his loyalty and benevolence …
The Qiushan clan head looked at his son and sighed ruefully. As expected of Long'er, your father is far inferior to you.
"There is one problem."
Qiushan Jun looked at Xiao Songgong and said, "Previously, you said to Bai Cai, if your sword heart is truly pure, then why do you only dare to rebuke your fellow disciples, but not dare to ask your master if this matter is true or false?"
Xiao Songgong did not notice a detail in these words. He casually said, "Correct."
Qiushan Jun turned to glance at Bai Cai and asked, "Why don't you dare to ask?"
Bai Cai felt a bitter taste in his mouth, thinking, what use is there in asking?
Qiushan Jun turned to the Sect Master and asked, "Master, what Martial Uncle said … is it true?"
Bai Cai was extremely distressed, thinking, Senior Brother, why must you force the Sect Master into desperate straits? Why must you be so ruthless?
The Sect Master faintly smiled at Qiushan Jun and prepared to speak.
Xiao Songgong suddenly felt that something was wrong and sternly yelled, "You must swear on the ancestors of Mount Li that you cannot lie! Tell Qiushan, is Qi Jian really the son of a Demon Princess!? "
The Sect Master sighed at Qiushan Jun. "This matter is true."
The meaning of these words was very clear. This matter was true, but everything else was naturally not.
Xiao Songgong did not care about these things. As long as the Sect Master admitted this point, it was fine. He instantly relaxed.
The Qiushan clan head looked at the scene in front of the dwelling and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yes, both the Sect Master and Qiushan Jun had appeared too calm.
"What are you still doing here?"
Qiushan Jun calmly said to Bai Cai, "Quickly help the Sect Master in to rest."
The mountain was quiet. Everyone was rather perplexed, not understanding what this meant.
Even Bai Cai stared blankly for a moment before coming to his senses. Following his orders, he helped the Sect Master into the dwelling.
Before entering the dwelling, the Sect Master said, "Handle it well."
Qiushan Jun replied, "Master, be at ease."
After saying this, he extended his hand and plucked the sword that belonged to him from the several dozen sword glows in front of the dwelling.
It was the sword called Ni Lin.
Seeing this scene, everyone finally realized that at some point, the Sect Master had given him the Myriad Sword Array of Mount Li!
Elder Xiao Songgong looked at Qiushan Jun, his expression gradually growing solemn. "You're done asking."
Qiushan Jun replied, "Yes, I'm done asking."
Xiao Songgong took a deep breath and said, "And then?"
Qiushan Jun gazed at the mountains and casually said, "And then … naturally, the Mount Li disciples raised their swords to meet the enemy."
Xiao Songgong's expression became abnormally ugly. In a cold voice, he yelled, "Just what are you doing! Did you not hear? Your master personally admitted it! Qi Jian's mother was a Demon Princess! "
Qiushan Jun raised his sword and looked at Xiao Songgong and those powerful enemies. "So what?"
… …
… …
(Today, I naturally thought of the Qing Emperor, but today, I didn't.)
