Capítulo 785: Chapter 678: Destroying Another Sect to Shake Huzhou’s Cultivation Path (Part 2)

Jian Qingtian’s gaze swept over the six people before him, and he spoke coldly, “I co here today, for reasons perhaps different from yours! I just want to see whether my fellow Jianghu friends in Huzhou will lose their prestige and dignity before a re child!”

“Sword Sect Master, you are overthinking!” Ding Feilong replied with a forced smile.

He genuinely felt guilty inside because it was from his side that the Huzhou Alliance was first breached.

Ever since he agreed to today’s eting under Zhang Yiran’s strong pressure, the offensive and defensive alliance they had established had already been broken.

This could not be hidden, and it would certainly invite the collective disdain of the other six sects.

But what could be done?

As the Guangyuan Sect Master, I cannot put all my bets on you; I must find the best solution for the survival of my sect.

What’s more, agreeing to et is not really a betrayal of the alliance. Gathering together to confront the Su Thief face to face with many people emboldens us, saving oneself from bearing all the pressure alone. Isn’t it a better way?

“I hope it is indeed my overthinking!” Jian Qingtian took a step into the Foreign Affairs Hall.

The other six followed in.

Inside the Foreign Affairs Hall, there were two reception officers, whose hands were just cupped in greeting, smiles just appearing on their faces as Jian Qingtian walked past and took a few steps to sit down at the first chair on the left!

He seed utterly unaware of the two reception officers.

The eyes of these two officials flickered with annoyance, but being seasoned fifth-rank officials in the officialdom, their composure was enough to maintain the calm on their faces.

The seven sect masters sat down in succession.

Two maids ca forward to pour tea.

Everything seed peaceful and harmonious, but even the most oblivious person could tell that the atmosphere was extrely tense; these seven people ford a huge aura, with the kind that bristled with spikes.

Ti passed slowly by!

A quarter of an hour later, a loud voice ca from outside the door: “Lord Su, the Chief Inspector from the Capital, and Lord Zhang, the Huzhou Recorder, have arrived!”

The main door swung wide open!

Two silhouettes entered side by side!

The officials’ uniforms they wore were the sa, both were fourth-rank official uniforms.

Their steps and deanor were quite similar, both appearing refined.

If there were differences, there were two: one was the age difference, with Lin Xiaosu on the left in his twenties and Zhang Yiran on the right in his forties. Secondly, their refinent was of different kinds. Zhang Yiran had a scholarly refinent, while Lin Xiaosu’s was more a calmness of controlling the big picture.

As they entered, several sect masters seed to lean slightly forward, as if to indicate a gesture of welco, but a sharp, cold glance from the top swept by, and the sect masters simultaneously sat down, without rising.

Zhang Yiran felt his heart sink slightly.

Today’s confrontation seed to be difficult.

Inviting this Sword Sect Master from the Duan Jian Sect yesterday, he had an uneasy premonition, because the invitation was too smooth.

The Great Elder under Jian Qingtian only asked him one question: did the other six sects agree to attend?

He nodded, which resulted in Jian Qingtian’s promise: Good! I will attend on ti tomorrow!

Now it appeared that this Jian Qingtian, who fancied himself as the leader of Huzhou’s Jianghu path, ca to create trouble!

Moreover, from his deanor, he wielded considerable influence over the other six sects.

To control the direction of today’s negotiation, it’s necessary first to handle this Jian Qingtian.

However, Jian Qingtian was not one to be easily dealt with.

It was uncertain whether Master Song’s Second Grade Official Seal would be able to subdue him.

Lin Xiaosu did not glance at the seven people seated on both sides, and strode up to the chief seat, sitting down!

Zhang Yiran sat beside him.

Two maids ca over to pour them tea.

Lin Xiaosu lightly waved his hand, signaling the maids to withdraw.

He slowly raised his gaze…

The seven sect masters on both sides also lifted their gazes, looking at this young man who was stirring up Jiangnan before them.

At first glance, they indeed found it quite incredible.

Could such an overly young boy truly be the legendary Great Army Commander, whose reputation was becoming increasingly exaggerated?

“Mr. Su!” Sun Changhe, the Sect Master of Qingshui Sect, clasped his hands, “You specially sent people to invite us over, what exactly do you wish to discuss?”

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly, “Are you all anxious to get to the point?”

Ding Feilong spoke, “People on the Cultivation Path are not accustod to your officialdom’s ways, let’s be direct!”

“Very well!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Since you all prefer directness, then I will be forthright. This ti, my reason for going to Jiangnan, ostensibly, is to clear the accumulated cases of the Ministry of Justice. However, this is rely a small goal. What I truly aim for is far from simple; apart from clearing the cases, I also want to seek justice for the millions of Jiangnan citizens!”

“Mr. Su is certainly frank enough!” Sun Changhe said, “May I ask what kind of justice you seek, sir?”

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand lightly, extending three fingers, “First, I want each sect to cross-reference the list of cases from the Ministry of Justice and voluntarily send their offending disciples to Ning City, with a deadline of three days!”

As soon as these words were spoken!

A cold snort ca from the first seat on the left.

This person was precisely Jian Qingtian.

Lin Xiaosu seed to have not heard it, extending a second finger, “Second, all properties illegally seized by the sects from the common folk must be returned to their original owners. If the original owners can’t be found, these properties should be handed over to the local governnt!”

“Haha…” From the first chair on the left, Jian Qingtian laughed aloud, “Fellow sect masters, do you still have any illusions? This re child wants your millennia-old foundations!”

The sect masters all stirred in agitation…

Indeed, as Jian Qingtian said, at the beginning they harbored hopes, with most sect masters even internally contemplating whether there could be a compromise, such as handing over a few offending disciples and then using connections to bring them back.
