"Whether my disciple is innocent or not, who are you to acknowledge?"
A calm voice ca through.
Xiao Yi's figure also gradually appeared in everyone's line of sight; he had been waiting with a group of Xiaoshanhe Institute's disciples outside the sacrificial hall atop the peak. Sensing Jin Feiyan and others arriving at the top but not entering,
he ca out to see what was happening.
Unexpectedly, he discovered Zhao Yu distorting facts, and the others, failing to distinguish right from wrong, were all accusing Jin Feiyan.
That's when Xiao Yi showed himself!
"Xiao Yi?"
"Humph, as the head of Xiaoshanhe Institute, he didn't personally escort the sacrificial scepter during the ritual ceremony, and he even taught such a disciple. Yet he still dares to appear before us?"
"This is called 'the shaless are invincible.' His skin is really thick enough!"
Facing the mockery of the crowd, Xiao Yi remained indifferent as if he hadn't heard anything.
He walked straight to Jin Feiyan.
With red-rimd eyes and a trace of injustice, Jin Feiyan bit her lower lip tightly and whispered, "Master!"
"Hmm!"
Xiao Yi nodded, smiled and rubbed her head, saying, "You've done well. In just a few days, you have cultivated the movent technique I taught you to such a level. You haven't disappointed !"
Indeed, Jin Feiyan's talent in the art of movent techniques had truly shocked Xiao Yi.
Even if he cultivated that movent technique himself, his progress would definitely not be much higher than Jin Feiyan's.
Receiving Xiao Yi's praise brought a hint of joy to Jin Feiyan's pretty face, but thinking of how others questioned Xiao Yi because of her, she suddenly felt aggrieved and ashad, "Master, your disciple has brought you trouble... I have embarrassed you..."
Ssh!
Xiao Yi raised his index finger to his lips in a silencing gesture, smiling as he said, "What's there to be ashad of if you won fair and square? The real sha is on those who, having lost, refuse to admit it and instead distort the truth, and on those worthless creatures who, though unable to distinguish between right and wrong, parade around touting justice!"
Boom!
Xiao Yi's remarks were like a bolt from the blue, causing many in the crowd to gasp in shock.
Several glared at him furiously.
Zhao Yu laughed coldly with a sarcastic tone, "Like master, like disciple. Headmaster Xiao's ability to twist the truth is indeed breathtaking! No wonder Jin Feiyan is so un..."
Before he could finish speaking,
Zhao Yu suddenly felt his throat being tightly seized, unable to make the slightest sound.
Whoosh!
Zhao Yu's entire body floated up into the air.
He desperately clutched at his neck, his face turning red with strain, eyes bloodshot with pain, despair, and fear.
"Let him go!"
"Xiao Yi, what do you intend to do?"
"Zhao Yu is a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, are you trying to provoke a war between Tianjian Sect and Xiaoshanhe Institute?" The powerful figures shouted in rage and Yang Kun, his face steely, rebuked them with a low voice.
Xiao Yi looked at them coldly and said with a faint smile, "War? If you want to fight, then let's fight. What do I have to be afraid of?"
With a crisp snap,
Zhao Yu, who had been struggling violently, shook all over, his hands falling limply, as he lost all signs of life.
Hiss!
Inside and outside the gate, silence fell.
Gulp!
Soone swallowed hard, breaking the deadly quiet, followed by successive gasps of shock and shouts, "Fuck, did Xiao Yi really kill Zhao Yu?"
"Has he gone mad? Doesn't he fear the Tianjian Sect's revenge?"
"Look at the face of the Huihai Sword Master, it's as black as coal…"
Amidst the shocked exclamations,
The eyes of the Huihai Sword Master instantly narrowed into slits, emitting a cold and sharp light like a sword blade, sending out frosty piercing beams as if aiming to penetrate one's soul.
He was the Deputy Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect.
Among those present...
Apart from Emperor Qian, he held the highest strength and status.
His appearance here was specifically to support Yang Kun and demonstrate the power of the Tianjian Sect!
But now.
It was under his very eyes that a disciple of the Tianjian Sect had been killed by Xiao Yi.
This was tantamount to a direct slap in the face!
"You, how dare you do this..."
Yang Kun glared with wide eyes, his gaze filled with shock and fury, but even more so with wild joy, "Well done, Xiao Yi, you truly are heartless and mad. You dare to brazenly kill a disciple of my Tianjian Sect, this is a challenge to my Sect, you're simply seeking death!"
Bang!
With a flick of his wrist.
Xiao Yi tossed the corpse of Zhao Yu right in front of Yang Kun.
His face carried an indifferent expression, not taking Yang Kun's threats seriously at all, and he spoke calmly, "I rely killed a piece of trash who broke the rules of the Ancestral Worship Ceremony, how does that beco a challenge to your Tianjian Sect? Could it be that the Tianjian Sect has now elevated itself above the royal family?"
"You..."
Yang Kun opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
Nod his head?
That would be purely seeking death!
Emperor Qian was already extrely wary of the Tianjian Sect, if he dared to nod, the position of Crown Prince would definitely be beyond his reach.
As for shaking his head to deny?
That would displease the Huihai Sword Master and cause years of his hard work to go down the drain.
In the midst of Yang Kun's dilemma.
The Huihai Sword Master with an icy expression slowly spoke up, saving Yang Kun from his embarrassnt, "Headmaster Xiao is indeed quick-witted and eloquent!"
Xiao Yi t the Huihai Sword Master with neither servility nor overbearingness.
This was a super expert in the Nirvana Realm.
His combat power was even above that of Yang Yuhuan.
Xiao Yi faced him without any trace of fear, instead remaining composed and spoke calmly, "Whether first-rate or second-rate, it doesn't matter, as long as one isn't too disgraceful in conduct. Huihai Deputy Sect Master, what do you think?"
"Are you... are you speaking about ?" the Huihai Sword Master narrowed his eyes and said.
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, "What do you think?"
Eyes locked, their gaze clashed like substance, emitting a sizzling sound.
Invisibly.
Around the two of them at the center, a vacuum seed to form, where onlookers could only watch, unable to intervene.
"Enough!"
Just as the tension between the two was about to erupt into combat.
Emperor Qian, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, his voice breaking the tense atmosphere before him. Seeing everyone looking towards himself, he said, "Today is the grand joyous day of the Ancestral Worship Ceremony, all of you settle down for !"
"What does Your Majesty imply? Are you saying that you would stand by and do nothing while watching a Tianjian Sect disciple be killed?" the Huihai Sword Master narrowed his eyes and said.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly without saying a word.
Emperor Qian let out a cold snort, his expression growing more displeased as he spoke indifferently, "Qi, you tell us, who arrived here first. And whether Jin Feiyan has cheated again."
"Yes!"
Qi stepped forward and blew a whistle towards the sky.
Piercing shrieks descended from the heavens as a figure burst through the heavy clouds. This was a sixth-order high-level Beast King, the Iron Winged Golden Crowned Sculpture. After landing, it announced, "In the competition for the first incense offering, the victor is..."
