He traveled together with the Su Family’s orphan Su Wan’Er, but in the end mysteriously sank into Nu Yun River. In my opinion, it’s most likely the work of Hidden Pavilion assassins."
Considering Long Tingfeng’s strong possibility of being promoted to a true heir, Master Xuanji temporarily suppressed his anger and spoke kindly:
"Brother Long, you know as well that Hidden Pavilion assassins are lawless, reckless desperadoes.
Don’t ntion your ridian Sword Sect’s Inner Sect disciple Luo Zhaopeng—even for true heir Qiu Qianchuan, isn’t it the sa..."
Hiss!
A sound like ripping silk followed by a sharp explosive noise!
The teacup clenched in Long Tingfeng’s palm was split in half, with sword qi, as thin as a thread, intertwining and dripping tea, revealing an extrely cold killing intent.
"Daoist Xuanji, you misspoke."
The killing of true heir Qiu Qianchuan is the second taboo in ridian Sword Sect after Daoist succumbing to demonic influence.
Since then, the prestige of ridian Sword Sect has plumted, overshadowed by Zhao Pijiang of Celestial Water Prefecture.
Everyone within the Sword Sect knows clearly the mastermind behind Hidden Pavilion.
That Grand General Zhao listed Senior Brother Qiu’s na on a public bounty, and then Senior Brother Qiu was decapitated.
How is this different from trampling the reputation of ridian Sword Sect underfoot?
"Speaking hastily, Brother Long, do not be angry."
Master Xuanji chuckled and said.
"My point is that Dragon Court’s laws cannot reach the Hidden Pavilion assassins.
If they want Luo Zhaopeng’s life, as the Cyan Register Daoist Official, I can’t do anything.
Your sect has mobilized its entire might, nearly turning Celestial Water Prefecture upside down, yet couldn’t capture Old Knife Master.
However, I can provide Brother Long with the na of the assassin—his na is ’Jing Wuming’, a new talent of Hidden Pavilion who just erged, adept at Fast Sword Skill.
He’s said to be cold-hearted, recognizing only money not people, cruel enough to kill even his peers.
The notorious ’Twelve Stellar Signs’ of Hidden Pavilion were almost annihilated by him."
Again, Hidden Pavilion!
Long Tingfeng gritted his teeth, hearing the sarcastic tone in Master Xuanji’s voice, clearly adding fuel to the fire after knowing that ridian Sword Sect can’t compete against Zhao Pijiang.
Ten years ago, ridian Sword Sect’s five Great Divine Techniques dominated Celestial Water Prefecture, not even Duke Erzhu Long dared disrespect!
Now it has fallen to the point where even a re County City’s Cyan Register Daoist Official dares to act unruly!
"As for the remnants of the White Sun Sect, I will continue investigating, and as soon as there is news, I will definitely notify Brother Long promptly."
Master Xuanji said grandly:
"I have another urgent matter today, so I won’t keep Brother Long for tea."
Long Tingfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the chilling sword qi within his chest. If he acts irrationally towards Master Xuanji, it would be considered a challenge against Dragon Court’s laws.
Zhao Pijiang’s followers will seize the opportunity to cause trouble, even potentially reducing this year’s share of spiritual resources for ridian Sword Sect.
For the sake of the bigger picture, he can only endure it.
But before Long Tingfeng could rise, a torrent of sword qi, white as snow, surged like a tide, breaking the layers of bans in the Governnt Office, layers of spiritual light shattered like a cracked eggshell, extrely fragile.
Master Xuanji’s Divine Soul had yet to escape his brow when a biting cold and sharp blade was held against him, freezing him on the seat, not daring to take a deep breath.
"I am Chunyu Cultivator."
A middle-aged man wearing a straw hat appeared in the Governnt Office’s hall at an instant, raising his eyelids and said:
"Our Sword Sect handles its matters without allowing others to interfere. I don’t care whether that person is a remnant of White Sun Sect; hand over the residual soul for to verify the identity.
Moreover, if you ntion Kou Daozi or Nephew Qiu again, I will personally pull out your tongue.
The matters your Daoist Officials in Yihai Prefecture couldn’t accomplish, the people you couldn’t handle, starting today, all will be done by our Sword Sect!"
Master Xuanji felt his mind sting as if frozen by coldness. Upon hearing the na "Chunyu Cultivator", shock flooded his heart:
"How did ridian Sword Sect unleash this mad dog!"
...
...
Outside the Governnt Office, Bai Qi, just stepping over the threshold with Ah Di Bai Ming, watched the scene in the hall and thought with astonishnt:
"Dragon Court’s majesty, Upper Sect’s might, jointly govern Divine Land... truly not deceiving ."
