"Left Chief Priest Ye, disband the formation and request General Yiz Lie to rest again." With the promise from Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, Princess Changle made her decision on the spot.
"I obey the Hall Master’s decree!"
Ye Zhen bowed and turned to the 150,000 priests of the Barbarian Spirit Hall who had set up the War Spirit Sacrificial Battle Formation, waving and saying, "Disband the formation!
Each division, according to its responsibilities, return to your positions, no chaos allowed!"
"Understood!"
The echo of 150,000 Barbarian Spirit Hall priests was thunderous, making the First Deputy Hall Master Ba’erlong grind his teeth in hatred.
He knew very well that Hall Master Princess Changle’s move of having Ye Zhen revoke the formation rely strengthened Ye Zhen’s prestige within the Barbarian Spirit Hall, placing them, the two Hall Masters, in a position of being controlled.
Don’t underestimate this opportunity to command the entire hall.
For the first ti, the entire hall’s priests obeyed the command not out of fear of the Black-Robed Ritualist, but because all have acknowledged Ye Zhen as the Left Chief Priest.
As the priests cald down, they were more aware of who currently dominates the Barbarian Spirit Hall and who is at a disadvantage.
It is believed that those who had followed the Ba’erlong brothers before, as well as the new priests, will have a clear choice!
Subsequently, Ye Zhen ford the hand seal representing the Inherited Divine ssenger, "All matters are finished for today. Thank you, General Yiz Lie, for your hard work today. We will offer Essence Blood on another day. General Yiz Lie, please return."
This is the rule of the agreent between the Inherited Divine ssenger and the Ancient God War Spirit offering. Each party takes what they need, and neither can force the other, with respective agreed rules.
However, Divine Archer Yiz Lie did not imdiately disperse his form to return to the Holy Spirit Peak where the True Spirit is entrusted. His gaze lingered repeatedly on the drop of Creation Spirit Blood condensed by Princess Changle.
Apparently, compared to the so-called Essence Blood Sacrifice, he preferred this drop of Creation Spirit Blood from Princess Changle.
However, for Princess Changle, offering her Creation Spirit Blood cos at a trendous cost, sothing she would not easily give unless absolutely necessary.
Nevertheless, due to the agreent between the War Spirit and the Inherited Divine ssenger, no matter how much Divine Archer Yiz Lie wanted it, he could only dream about it and eventually return to Holy Spirit Peak.
Yet, before dispersing his form, a Divine Soul Telecommunication abruptly entered Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, revealing a hint of surprise in Ye Zhen’s eyes.
Evidently, Ye Zhen was sowhat surprised by what Divine Archer Yiz Lie said last.
However, now was not the ti to consider this matter.
With Divine Archer Yiz Lie gone, the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin heaved a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The arrow intent of Yiz Lie was truly terrifying.
The tension that filled the entire Barbarian Spirit Hall imdiately dissipated, replaced by a heavy cloud hanging overhead.
"Why was there such a big commotion today? Both of you, explain everything to !" Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang rebuked sternly.
Then, Princess Changle unreservedly recounted today’s events in full detail.
The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin was in no hurry, waiting until Princess Changle finished before describing how he encountered Ba’erlong seeking help and the subsequent confrontation.
He didn’t embellish much, but from Tun Changyin’s side, he emphasized Ye Zhen’s intent to commit violence under the guise of martial arts practice and the inter-hall conflict, demanding Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang to severely punish the offender, Ye Zhen!
On the other hand, from Princess Changle’s side, the focus was on the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice insulting the Inherited Divine ssenger Ye Zhen of the Holy Spirit Peak, desecrating the dignity of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, demanding an apology from the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin in public.
"Great Chief Priest, this matter was caused by Ye Zhen intending to kill under the guise of martial arts practice, leading to inter-hall conflict.
Had Ye Zhen not taken the opportunity of martial arts practice to commit violence and kill, causing inter-hall conflict,
I wouldn’t have misspoken and insulted Ye Zhen!
This inadvertently led Palace Master Ji to misunderstand, thinking I disrespected the Barbarian Spirit Hall.
In fact, Palace Master Ji misunderstood; I have never disrespected the Barbarian Spirit Hall or the ancient gods and spirits enshrined within.
On the contrary, I have always revered the ancient gods and spirits in each branch since I arrived at the Ancestor God Temple a thousand years ago, never once acting disrespectfully.
Today’s misunderstanding with Palace Master Ji stems from the despicable act of Ye Zhen taking advantage of martial arts practice to incite violence and eliminate dissent.
My rash words require Palace Master Ji’s forgiveness." The Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin wore a smile, appearing genuinely misunderstood.
This explanation surprisingly drew frequent nods from the priests who ca with the Great Chief Priest.
After all, this statent aligned with the facts previously ntioned by Princess Changle and the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, with no issues at all.
The facts were indeed like this.
Even Ye Zhen could not help but admire the old and cunning Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin.
With just a few words, he smoothly shifted all reasoning to their side.
They beca the victims, and all conflicts and misunderstandings were entirely caused by Ye Zhen, the real culprit.
If Ye Zhen hadn’t prepared in advance, after the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin’s talk, Ye Zhen would be hard-pressed to find an argunt for today’s events.
This bla would surely fall on Ye Zhen.
However, Ye Zhen was well-prepared!
Nonetheless, since Tun Changyin went to such lengths, Ye Zhen wouldn’t let him have it easy either.
Exchanging a glance with Princess Changle, the latter imdiately understood and said, "According to Power Sacrifice Tun, it’s all Left Chief Priest Ye Zhen’s fault today?"
"Of course!"
"If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have misspoken in anger, nor would such a large clash have occurred, almost culminating in a disaster!
Moreover, I have the evidence to prove it wasn’t re lies!"
At this point, Tun Changyin pointed at Ba’erhu, saying, "Look at Ba’erhu’s injuries, his right arm severed along with the shoulder, the Life-bound Suppressing Artifact Tiger Soul Giant Bow cut in two!
If his reaction had been a mont slower, Ye Zhen would have slain him on the spot!
If this isn’t Ye Zhen’s preditated murder under the guise of martial arts, then what is it?"
"Great Chief Priest, please stand up for my brother! Pity my brother was only providing martial arts entertainnt, but Ye Zhen attempted preditated murder under its guise.
Now, my brother barely clings to life, his Life-bound Suppressing Artifact destroyed, and his right arm essential for his Archery Path is severed.
His Martial Arts is nearly ruined!
Please, Great Chief Priest, stand up for my brother!"
"Please, Great Chief Priest, stand up for !" Ba’erhu, who had been healing himself nearby, also spoke in a hoarse voice, evoking empathy from the observing priests.
Witnessing this scene, Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang was quite moved. Today’s matter, with Tun Changyin’s rhetoric, had indeed complicated things.
Even if he intended to favor Princess Changle and Ye Zhen, it was difficult.
Princess Changle couldn’t be handled, yet given the current circumstances, Ye Zhen’s situation seed grim.
"Changle, what do you say?" asked Bai Xiang.
"Changle has nothing to say!"
Princess Changle’s statent left everyone in the hall astonished.
Saying nothing? Acknowledging defeat just like that?
However, in the next instant, Princess Changle gazed at the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin, saying, "According to Power Sacrifice Tun, if I can prove today’s events were not caused by Ye Zhen,
then your insults to the Ancient God War Spirit of my Barbarian Spirit Hall weren’t a misunderstanding?"
Tun Changyin did not answer directly but responded with a cold laugh, "Palace Master Ji, the evidence is irrefutable. No matter how you argue, you cannot protect the despicable Ye Zhen!"
"Is Power Sacrifice Tun feeling guilty or just cowardly?" Princess Changle sneered again.
"Nonsense, how could I feel guilty...."
Unfortunately, Princess Changle was no longer willing to engage in a war of words with Tun Changyin. The old man’s tongue was too sharp, and debating was a futile effort.
Princess Changle shifted her focus to Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, "Great Chief Priest, Changle has only one request, please adjudicate fairly!"
Bai Xiang’s gaze shifted, nodding, "As you say, if you can prove that today’s conflict and Power Sacrifice Tun’s rash words were not initiated by Ye Zhen, this matter will be reconsidered!
I will definitely uphold justice!"
"Thank you, Great Chief Priest! Here is the evidence!" Princess Changle tossed out a Jade Scroll with a flick of her wrist.
In an instant, the hearts of Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice Tun Changyin, Ba’erlong, Ba’erhu, and the others tightened!
