Karmic Fire Sect.
At this moment, all the core elders of Karmic Fire Sect were sitting in a palace, including Master Du Xu, who had the highest position other than the three sect masters. All the elders of Karmic Fire Sect were looking at the center where Guang You Sect's envoys were standing.
Led by Liu Tang, five envoys came to visit. No matter how bad the relationship between Karmic Fire Sect and Guang You Sect was, they could not kill the envoys even if they were at war. That was the rule. Moreover, they were core elders of Guang You Sect and it was definitely not a small matter.
Usually, the sect master would receive the core elders personally but Karmic Fire Sect did not do so. Du Xu looked at the five people standing in the center and took a deep breath before saying, "What can I do for you?"
"We are not here for advice but to clarify some matters and get an explanation!" Liu Tang looked at Du Xu and said in a deep voice, "Four days ago, our Guang You Sect's disciple Ge Tianhao was killed in Ling King's Capital. According to my investigation, it was done by Karmic Fire Sect. Does Karmic Fire Sect deny this?!"
Killed?
The core elders in the palace were stunned and looked at each other. Firstly, they did not know about this matter. Secondly, even if a disciple died, it was nothing to them. The two sects had been in constant conflict and there were deaths and injuries in the dark. They had never seen Guang You Sect send anyone to seek an explanation. Why did they send a core elder here this time?
"Four days ago? Ling King's Capital? " Du Xu frowned and turned to an elder, saying, "Go and find out who was the abbot in Ling King's Capital that day and get him here."
"Yes!" The elder left immediately.
After leaving, Du Xu looked at Liu Tang and said, "Elder Liu, don't worry. Karmic Fire Sect never reneges on a debt. However, I am curious. Why did Elder Liu come here personally? "
Liu Tang's expression was ugly as he said in a deep voice, "Because the dead disciple is the grandson of my previous sect master!"
With that said, all the elders present were shocked!
Even Du Xu and Du Kong frowned and their hearts sank. If that was the case, it was indeed terrible! If it was not handled well, there might be a huge problem.
Soon, the three monks entered the palace from the outside. The core elder said to Du Xu, "Senior brother, these two are the monks who were in Ling King's Capital that day.
Du Xu nodded and looked at the two monks. The two monks hurriedly bowed to the people in the room and said, "This disciple greets the elders!"
"Speak." Du Xu said, "What happened in the Ling Kingdom four days ago? Did you kill anyone?"
The two monks trembled when they heard this. They looked at each other in panic. This scene did not escape the eyes of anyone present. When the core elders of Karmic Fire Sect saw this scene, their hearts turned cold.
"Don't lie!" Du Kong shouted, "Speak! What the hell is going on?! "
After being frightened by Du Kong, the two disciples immediately knelt on the ground and recounted what had happened that day. They quickly said, "Four days ago, we were presiding over the temple. Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air and crashed into our Buddha statue, creating a big hole in the Buddha statue! This person's clothes were disheveled, and after he came out, he even said that we were … bald donkeys. "
"I was so angry that I challenged him to a duel. Later …"
"Nonsense!" Liu Tang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "With your strength, how could you be his opponent? Besides, who would curse someone for no reason? After he crashed into the Buddha statue, did you say something first? Don't take it out of context! "
Liu Tang, who had lived for hundreds of years, understood the art of words too well. Du Xu looked at the furious Liu Tang and frowned. However, considering that someone had died, he did not pursue the matter. Instead, he looked at the disciple and said, "Speak properly, don't leave out a single word!"
Since even Master Du Xu said so, the two monks did not dare to hide anything. They said, "After he crashed into the Buddha statue, we called him … a thief. The two of us attacked him at the same time and asked the others to return to the sect to inform the elders. Later … Elder Du Wang arrived and killed this person … "
Du Wang.
All the elders in the room frowned. They really did not expect this matter to be related to Du Wang.
Du Wang was very powerful in Karmic Fire Sect and was the most likely person to become the next core elder. Moreover, he had done many things for Karmic Fire Sect and had a high reputation. Whether or not he would be promoted to a core elder, it was only a matter of a word from the sect master.
Liu Tang also knew this Du Wang. As the saying goes, know thyself and know thy enemy. Guang You Sect had a lot of information on Du Wang. Furthermore, Liu Tang had sent people to target Guang You Sect many times. He did not expect this matter to be related to this person!
"A life for a life, it is only right and proper!" Liu Tang shouted angrily and said loudly, "My Guang You Sect also does not wish to fall out with Karmic Fire Sect. Otherwise, I would not have come here to negotiate with you. However, the one who died was the only grandson of the previous sect master. Karmic Fire Sect has to give an explanation! "
Seeing Liu Tang's furious look, Du Xu took a deep breath and said, "What does Elder Liu want to do?"
"Very simple!" Liu Tang said loudly, "These two people and the murderer, Du Wang, hand them over to my Guang You Sect to deal with!"
"…"
All the core elders in Karmic Fire Sect frowned. It was impossible for them to hand over people, especially Du Wang.
"I'm afraid this is a little too much." Du Xu looked at Liu Tang and said, "Why don't Guang You Sect use another method. My Karmic Fire Sect will try our best to satisfy you."
"I said, a life for a life!" Liu Tang clenched his teeth and said, "This is the only way!"
Seeing Liu Tang's domineering look, many core elders frowned. However, this matter was indeed difficult to handle. If they were in his shoes, if the grandson of the previous sect master of Karmic Fire Sect was killed, they would not even come to ask for the person. Instead, they would directly declare war.
Du Xu looked at Du Kong. It was obvious that he was communicating with Divine Consciousness. Du Kong nodded and his figure flashed before he quickly left the palace. Du Xu then looked at Liu Tang and the other four and said, "Why don't the five of you take a seat first. There is always room for negotiation. Don't be impatient. Let's talk slowly."
This matter was too serious. If they were not careful, the two sects would go to war. Even Du Xu could not make the decision. He asked Du Kong to leave so that he could report this matter to the sect master.
Moments later, Du Kong appeared in the palace again. Everyone was shocked when they saw him. He quickly returned to Du Xu's side and told him the answer through Divine Consciousness.
Du Xu frowned and nodded slightly. He looked at Liu Tang and said, "Elder Liu, I can give you an accurate answer."
Liu Tang naturally knew that the answer came from the sect master of Karmic Fire Sect. He said, "Please speak!"
"No matter what, my Karmic Fire Sect will not hand him over." Du Xu's words were forceful. "We are only willing to compensate with money. If Guang You Sect is not satisfied, we are willing to bear all the consequences."
"…"
When this was said, both the elders of Karmic Fire Sect and Guang You Sect were shocked. Liu Tang's face turned gloomy and he clenched his fists!
This was the decision of the sect master of Karmic Fire Sect. It would be a waste of effort to ask Du Xu anything. Liu Tang deeply breathed in and said loudly, "Alright, let's go! In that case, Karmic Fire Sect will bear the consequences! "
After he finished speaking, Liu Tang turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves. The four elders immediately followed. Seeing Liu Tang leave in anger, Du Xu's expression was also very ugly.
However, if he was the sect master, he would definitely make the same decision. Handing over an elder with such a high status would definitely be a heavy blow to all the monks in the sect. It would greatly affect the monks' faith in Karmic Fire Sect and could even shake the foundation of Karmic Fire Sect.
If they handed over a person to a sect like Guang You Sect, Karmic Fire Sect's prestige would be gone.
However, if they did not hand over the person, Karmic Fire Sect would probably face a fierce battle … It all depended on whether Guang You Sect could swallow this anger.
On the side, Du Kong spoke to Du Xu again. "The sect master asked us to report this matter to the other sects and rope in allies so that we can prepare for war. If Guang You Sect really starts a war with us, we can use this opportunity to severely injure them or even wipe them out! "
Du Xu was shocked when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Got it."
