Firmament Sword Sect's Inner Sword, Ting Feng, was much more composed. "Junior Brother, you're good! In all these years, I've never seen an external sword more handsome than Junior Brother! Including those who think they're the real deal … "
Being composed didn't mean that he wouldn't step on others. In this aspect, Inner Sword was very natural. However, his next words were also very direct. They were all on the same side, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Junior Brother's actions were so fast. Did you discover something in advance?"
Lou Xiaoyi didn't know how to explain. It wasn't that he wanted to hide it, but that he couldn't explain why he could see those mysterious lines clearly. The more he cultivated, the more secrets he discovered. Unfortunately, they were secrets that he couldn't explain himself, so he could only blame it on his intuition.
"That body cultivator is strange. This is my intuition!
After cultivating for decades, I still have some understanding of mysteries. However, it's not the mysteries themselves, but something that I've concluded from countless incidents. "
Ting Feng laughed. "Oh? This can be concluded? Junior Brother, tell me about it. "
Lou Xiaoyi pretended to be serious. "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of them will lead to disaster, then someone will definitely make that choice.
Specifically, there are a few aspects.
First, nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface.
Second, everything will take longer than you expect.
Third, things that can go wrong will always go wrong.
Finally, if you're worried about something happening, then it's more likely to happen!
I'm worried that something will happen to that little peacock, worried that someone will covet the peacock blood, worried that this drill isn't pure …
You've seen the results. The more worried I am, the more likely it is to happen! "
While chatting, Lou Xiaoyi felt that something wasn't right. It wasn't the cultivators from the various sects who had approached a certain range. They were only threatening and wouldn't really do anything. Under the rules of Peacock Palace, this was more of an expression of their attitude.
The one that wasn't right was the little peacock!
Ever since that drop of peacock blood had seeped out, she had been in a state of concentration with her eyes closed. If it was just a short recovery, then it was reasonable. However, after ten breaths of time, there was still no movement. Something must have gone wrong.
She should have stood up to preside over everything.
Before Lou Xiaoyi could do anything, the space opened up and dozens of cultivators rushed in. They were all Yuanying and Jin Dan level characters. Obviously, the changes in the Peacock Plume Space had attracted their attention!
They were led by three members of the Peacock Clan, all of whom were Yuanying level veterans who had come to receive cultivators from all over the world. This kind of unforeseen event was completely out of their expectations. Ever since the Peacock Clan had stabilized in the Fifth Ring, such a situation had never occurred in the Peacock Palace again. Everyone maintained respect for the Peacock Clan. After all, how many Quasi-sage Clans were there that didn't ask for anything in return and only asked for something in return?
What made them feel awkward was that the Peacock Plume was the most sacred treasure of the Peacock Clan. They couldn't fully control it because it had its own will, although this kind of will was rare.
Due to their respect for this holy artifact and the peace that had lasted for tens of thousands of years, the Peacock Elders did not pay attention to what was happening. They only glanced at it from time to time, and because of that, they lost the most precious time to intervene.
Soon, the dozen or so Yuanying had a rough understanding of what was happening inside the space. They understood the three main characters involved!
Little Peacock Mingyan had lost a drop of peacock blood and had fallen into a trance, temporarily unable to wake up!
Tianxing Jian Tumu had been killed by the Swordsman!
The only one who was unscathed was Xuanyuan, who had only lost two teeth. He didn't seem to have much trouble with his external sword. His face was calm and collected, as if he hadn't killed a cultivator, but a cat or a dog.
The periphery was already clear. Now, all that was left was the statements of the people involved. Although there were many people inside the space, there was still no clear conclusion as to what had happened.
With the presence of the Yuanying Dao Masters, there was nothing for the Jin Dan to do here. However, the situation was still somewhat tense. Three parties were entangled: Peacock Palace, Tianxing Jian, and Xuanyuan Sword School. These three Yuanying Dao Masters were mainly involved in the discussions. The cultivators of the other sects were spectating, so it wasn't good to avoid them. After all, this also involved everyone.
Lou Xiaoyi really wanted to privately communicate with the Martial Uncles and Martial Ancestors who had come in, but he didn't have the opportunity. From start to finish, Huang Tao and the two Jin Dan members of Xuanyuan's group didn't have the slightest intention of using their spiritual sense to ask him. Lou Xiaoyi immediately realized his own pettiness. Inside the space of the Peacock Plume, what kind of small movements were there that the Peacock Clan didn't know about? Private communications would instead show that they had ulterior motives. They weren't as good as the Great Dafa.
In any case, to the Xuanyuan Swordsman, what did killing a foreign sect disciple count for? They killed every day! Especially when it was a body cultivation orthodoxy that had good relations with the Southeast Region and the Supreme Region.
The three elders of the Peacock Palace were in charge of asking. This was their right. One of them stared at Lou Xiaoyi, causing him to not have any intention of deceiving or hiding anything. However, his words were neither biased nor biased, with no obvious likes or dislikes.
"Little friend Cigarette Butt, what happened inside the space just now? Why did you need to fight? Why did Ming Yan faint? Why was Tumu beheaded? We need an answer. We hope little friend can answer truthfully! "
On the contrary, Lou Xiaoyi was very relaxed. He believed that the Peacock Palace should give him a reward! With so many great cultivators and Dao Masters present, could the truth be concealed?
"Good, I'll let everyone know. The matter is like this …"
Thereupon, he recounted the matter from beginning to end. There was nothing to hide. He was confident that he was upright and wasn't afraid of a crooked shadow. No one could wrongly accuse him!
"You're just an insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivator. What ability do you have to clearly see the transmission of mysterious energy? Now that you're saying this, it's nothing more than the person involved being unconscious and dead. No one will come to confront you, so you're spouting nonsense here!
You said that Tumu had evil intentions and coveted the Peacock Blood. Who can prove that it wasn't you who did it? Since you can discern the mysterious energy, you can naturally do something to it!
You're the one who did it, yet you're slandering others. Is this the tradition of Xuanyuan? "
The one who spoke was a Dao Master from the same sect as Skywalker. His own disciple had been beheaded. He was already dead, yet he was still being accused of blasphemy. How could he endure it?
He wasn't deliberately trying to hide it. In fact, there were indeed many layers of fog and contradictions. Moreover, no one in the Skywalker Sect knew about Tumu's true situation. On this point, in order to protect his reputation, Tumu was very careful and never revealed it to anyone.
Beside him, a few Yuanying nodded in agreement. Needless to say, they were all from the Dharma Lineage. Supreme, Three Pure Ones, and others who couldn't stand the Sword Vein's domineering behavior.
The Sword Vein was indeed sharp and iron-blooded, but it was also because of their character that they had offended a lot of people. They couldn't have it both ways. Between belligerence and networking, they could only choose one.
