Chapter 411: Borrowing the Sword (Part 2)

The blind fishes in the tiny pool were still bubbling .

The yellow gra.s.s on the pool bank was still scorched .

Just like the companion in that hut .

Hearing Liu Bai's questioning, the disciple of the Sword Garret who had walked to the bank shook badly because of fear . He had decided to admit to everything, but he did not expect that the Great Master had already known his true ident.i.ty .

Liu Bai said, ”I have been raising you for seven years and teaching you for seven years . Even if you were a cold sword, you could still be reclaimed . However, it did surprise me that the Judicial Department's men were born to be ruthless . ”

The disciple was silent for a long time, then he bowed deeply again . He sincerely apologized and said, ”I'm sorry . I didn't expect it to end like this . ”

Liu Bai said with no expression, ”If the Judicial Department wants to use the Sword Garret to do the dirty job, they should at least inform me first . Taking without permission is not borrowing . It is stealing . ”

The disciple said with emotion, ”I didn't want to do this, but it was my duty . ”

”I know . ” Liu Bai said impatiently .

The disciple slowly stood straight, and calmly gazed at Liu Bai across the pool . He was able to withstand Liu Bai's powerful sword style, indicating that his true cultivation state was much higher than what he usually showed .

Of course, even if his cultivation state was several levels higher than what he had shown previously, he still wasn't a match for Liu Bai . However, there wasn't a trace of fear on his face .

Liu Bai, the Sage of the Sword was the strongest fighter in the world . Countless cultivators feared him . However, the disciple was the deacon of the West-Hill Divine Palace . He received orders from the black Taoism Temple in Peach Mountain .

In the words of Liu Bai, the disciple had simply used his authority to manage the Sword Garret . He maneuvered to borrow Chao Xiaoshu's sword and gave it to Liu Yiqing, who was about to leave for Chang'an City, telling him a few words .

Taking without permission was indeed not borrowing . It was stealing .

However, since the men of West-Hill Divine Palace wanted to borrow the sword to do a dirty job, the unapproved borrowing could be regarded as borrowing .

Even if this was stealing in others' eyes, it was still borrowing .

After all, Liu Bai was a visiting professor of West-Hill . He had to act on the orders of Haotian . What could he do to the Divine Palace's man?

”Regardless of whether Prince Long Qing died or not, he is ruined,”

Liu Bai looked at him and said .

The disciple said respectfully, ”Indeed . ”

Liu Bai said, ”I also heard that Ye Hongyu was sc.r.a.pped after she came back from the Wilderness . ”

The disciple calmly said, ”Yes . ”

Liu Bai laughed and said, ”Will you return to Peach Mountain to take over as the Grand Master?”

The disciple also laughed and admitted with silence .

Liu Bai laughed more happily, and said, ”Does it mean that you may become one of the Great Divine Priests in the future?”

The disciple smiled and remained silent .

The smile on Liu Bai's face suddenly disappeared . He looked blankly at the disciple and said, ”Although it is an honor that my disciple can succeed as the high priest, I suddenly realized that if you really become the Great Divine Priest of Judgment, it would be hard for me to kill you . ”

The disciple suddenly became stiff, and he looked across the small pool .

”Since you are not the Great Divine Priest of Judgment now, you have to pay for your stealing . ”

The disciple's expression suddenly became chilly, and he wanted to say something, but he tasted something sweet in his mouth and sensed a slippery thing between his teeth . It was his own tongue .

Immediately, his head was disconnected from his neck, and fell down on the bank floor . It rolled into the small pool . After a few moments, some blood showed on the surface of the water .

The blind fish sensed the smell of food and began to spit blisters happily .

The disciples who had been silently kneeling beside the pool walked up and began to clean up the headless body . They noticed that the neck cavity was smooth and bloodless, and the cut seemed to be covered with a transparent film . They could see the trachea, esophagus, the bones, and blood clearly . This scene made them feel sick .

For Liu Bai, killing an important person of the Divine Hall Judicial Department was just like killing a mouse . The look on his face did

did not change at all, but when he looked at the letter from the Academy, he started to frown .

”Find Chao Xiaoshu, send him back to Chang'an City safely and trade my brother back . ”

The disciples glanced at each other and went to carry out his orders .

At this time, a middle-aged man came in from outside . He looked at the blood bubbles in the small pool . He sighed, walked towards Liu Bai and said, ”Senior Brother, is the problem solved?”

Liu Bai said, ”If killing could solve the problem, then the world in my eyes would be much better . ”

The middle-aged man said bitterly, ”I heard that the Great Divine Priest of Judgment thought highly of him . He was prepared to have that man return to the Peach Mountain to take over Ye Hongyu's place . You could have just chopped off one of his hands, why did you have to kill him?”

After a short moment of silence, Liu Bai said, ”Bring me paper and pen . ”

The light from the top of the cave shone on the pool, the hut beside the pool and the people .
