Chapter 806: Chapter 808: Knowing When to Retreat
On the other side, the eting was only a third of the way through, but differences arose due to uneven distribution of interests among the Sects.
Fortunately, Jian Chunqiu was there to diate, preventing them from starting a fight.
However, Chu Ge was curious because the Black Witch Sect was actually invited to this eting, yet he hadn’t seen anyone from the Black Witch Sect since he arrived.
Just as he was puzzled, the door to the eting room was suddenly pushed open, causing the heated argunts in the room to co to a halt.
After a brief silence, upon seeing who had arrived, soone in the crowd suddenly stood up angrily and pointed at the newcor, cursing, "Black Widow, how dare you have the nerve to attend the eting?"
Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than the Black Widow. She was wearing a black robe symbolizing the Black Witch Sect, with a silver mask on her face that covered only half of it, revealing fair and delicate cheeks that looked like those of a young girl in her twenties.
But those who knew her were aware that this person was nearly one hundred years old.
This was the first ti Chu Ge saw the real Black Widow. He sat there, slightly narrowing his eyes, with a contemplative gaze falling upon her.
Earlier, he had been wondering if the Black Widow wouldn’t show up for the eting due to the murder accusation, but it seed he had overthought it.
"Black Widow, you killed my fellow Sect elder. Today, I’m demanding your life in return!"
The speaker was an elder from the Chen Sect, who glared at the Black Widow fiercely, eager to rush forward and fight her to the death.
The Black Widow cast a few ghostly glances, a few mocking smiles curled at the corners of her lips, "What are you saying? Murdered your fellow Sect mber?"
The Black Widow leisurely walked up to the person, her tone frivolous as she scoffed, "What evidence do you have to prove it was
who did the killing? Did you see it with your own eyes? Or do you have any substantial evidence?"
The Chen Sect elder stared at her coldly; he knew that the Black Widow would never admit to it, "Humph, of course I have evidence! The deceased elder had your unique toxin on his body; did you think you left no trace? Humph, you didn’t expect that, at his last mont, the elder left us a clue."
Back when the perpetrator was determined, it was because the unique poison belonging to the Black Widow was found on the corpse.
This was sothing others couldn’t imitate.
The Black Widow laughed, showing no remorse or sha at all, "What if it was ? Did he not deserve to die? To trade his life for the lives of hundreds of disciples of the Black Witch Sect was considered a bargain for him."
Chu Ge originally thought the Black Widow would continue to deny it, but unexpectedly, she admitted it. After all, faced with ironclad evidence, even if she wanted to shirk responsibility, the crowd wouldn’t agree.
"The Chen Sect elder deserved to die, but what about our elder? Why did you kill our elder?"
Soone from the Sunflower Sect suddenly stood up to question.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to Yang Kun.
After all, Yang Kun and the Black Witch Sect shared an inseparable connection.
Now that the Sunflower Sect suddenly stood out to question the Black Widow, their primary concern wasn’t how the Black Widow would defend herself, but how Yang Kun would respond.
Yang Kun sat there expressionlessly, simply indifferent to the surrounding gazes directed at him, accepting each one.
The Black Widow seed to ignore Yang Kun entirely; she laughed sarcastically, "You should know why those people I killed died. I don’t want to repeat the sa reason."
"Humph! You killed people and actually have the audacity!" Soone couldn’t bear to watch and angrily stood up, pointing at the Black Widow and cursing, "A life for a life is justified. Moreover, you killed so many people. Black Widow, don’t think you can leave this hall today."
As they spoke, others also joined in, surrounding the Black Widow.
The Black Widow faced these people without fear. She smirked contemptuously, "With just you? You’re no match for . Even if ten more of you co, I’ll still cripple you!"
Listening to the Black Widow’s arrogant and wild tone, the other Sects couldn’t sit still, considering the Black Witch Sect’s notorious reputation had long since spread among their Sects.
"What, do you think so many of us can’t deal with just one of you?" Soone stood up and spoke disdainfully, "Your actions have already aroused public anger in the world of martial arts. Don’t think just a few of them can’t do anything, there are us, adding all together against you, do you think we wouldn’t be able to defeat you?"
"That’s right! Today, we will rid the world of you vile creatures! The Black Witch Sect has long been notorious in the world of martial arts; leaving your Sect in the martial world is a disgrace!"
Because of their words, those Sects who had grievances against the Black Witch Sect also stood up, clearly ready to start a fight with the Black Widow.
Facing so many people, the Black Widow was sowhat intimidated. She was sure that if it were one-on-one, these people would pose no threat to her, but if they conspired against her together, the odds would be slim.
"Humph, today is only the first day of the summit. Are you really planning to cause trouble at this summit?" The Black Witch Sect snorted lightly.
"Cause trouble? If you hadn’t co, how could we possibly cause trouble? Besides, this isn’t causing trouble, it’s eliminating evil for the people."
"Exactly! If we talk about troublemakers, it should be you! You shouldn’t have co to this summit; as a murderer, you have no right to attend the summit!"
The people’s denunciation of the Black Widow temporarily drove the situation out of control.
Chu Ge lazily lifted his eyes, glancing at Yang Kun, who kept silent in his seat, feeling sowhat sardonic; he sat there silently without saying a word, not even lifting his head, keeping it bowed.
As if unable to face the Black Widow.
Soone suddenly pointed at Yang Kun and said, "Yang Kun, aren’t you going to say sothing? The Black Widow killed your Sunflower Sect elder! As an elder of the Sunflower Sect, shouldn’t you express your stance?"
Yang Kun’s reputation was also foul due to his betrayal, making him an easy target for criticism.
Suddenly called out, Yang Kun felt so resentnt; he raised his gaze and angrily glared at that person, "What does my stance have to do with you?"
Yang Kun coldly said, "On this matter, I will only express my own position, which is silence. Moreover, since this is peak eting ti, you causing such a commotion, what position does that put the Nangong Family in?"
Yang Kun directly brought up the Nangong Family, as this eting was organized by them, and ntioning them was rely a way to intimidate these people, indirectly stating his stance.
