67 I Believe Her (1/2)

Seeing the Spirit Sword Sect’s second Elder passing through the entrance, Daoist Master Zhifeng immediately realized that the verification result was finally out.

After dragging out for so long, the final result should be as what he expected: the Spirit Sword Sect would choose to compromise. Since they didn’t push the Fifth Elder forward to confront him, it meant that they had chosen to avoid trouble, reducing a big problem into a small one… However, looking at how solemn the Second Elder Liu Xian’s face was, his heart still felt somewhat uneasy.

Holding the stack of sincerity paper in hand, Liu Xian slowly walked towards Daoist Master Feng Yin. The final verification material has finally been handed over to be reviewed by the Sect Leader.

However, Feng Yin waved his hand. “No need, let Daoist Master Zhifeng review it himself.”

An imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Liu Xian’s mouth, unfortunately, Daoist Master Zhifeng could not see it.

Upon receiving that stack of sincerity paper, Daoist Master Zhifeng was almost certain about the final result. Since the Sect Leader didn’t even see the verification result, then the opposite party obviously had admitted defeat. That being the case...

With a similarly imperceptible smile, Daoist Master Zhifeng shifted his gaze towards that stack of paper. However, with just a glance, his countenance immediately stiffened.

The next moment, Daoist Master Zhifeng’s hands began to involuntarily tremble. His initially pale complexion started to flush with a trace of anger.

What happened in the White Moon Country wasn’t concealed on that verification report. Not only did it document the fact that the local authority of the White Moon country had colluded with the Thousand Spirit Sect, even how the Sect was in cahoots with the Palace eunuchs to control the Royal Family using the Immortal Path method had also been exposed!

This was not a joke. Although Thousand Spirit Sect was just an insignificant sect, however, interfering with the mortal world’s politic was a big taboo for any Immortal Cultivation Sect! Once an investigation was conducted, his position as the puppet master behind the scene would be exposed!

Of course, people might ask, with the establishment of Union of the Ten Thousand Immortal, which mortal world’s politic was free from it? For example, the Shengjing Sect which entrenched itself within the Central Region clearly had some level of control over multiple countries; what kind of taboo was that?

The key answer was: if one have a sect as magnificent as the Shengjing Sect, one could ignore this taboo. In fact, among the top sects in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, besides the always-low-key Spirit Sword Sect, the rest of the sects had some degree of control over the mortal world’s countries in order to provide the necessary resources.

Among which, the Shengjing Sect had the biggest expansion; they even set up Sect Divisions within each largest countries in the Nine Regions, and had ambiguous relations with numerous countries.

But the problem was, the entire connections were in the full grasp of the Shengjing Sect’s main base in the Central Region. The sect never allowed the head of a Division to act without authorization. Of course, based on the distance to the sect’s main base, a Division Head could still do as he pleased, as long as the Sect Headquarters didn’t know about it. However, his deed with the Thousand Spirit Sect had far exceeded what the sect could tolerate. His identity alone was far from sufficient to pressure this matter down. When the time comes, the sect rules would be as heavy as the mountain, and he...

Thinking to this point, Daoist Master Zhifeng trembled as his Yuanying vibrated. Cold sweat poured out of his body like fountains, and the stack of sincerity paper nearly slipped from his hands.

After a moment, Daoist Master Zhifeng restrained his Primordial Spirit and suppressed the vibration of his Yuanying with a supreme willpower. Then, his fear and panic turned into an inexhaustible stream of anger.

Spirit Sword Sect, you forced me to do this!

“You, you guys…”

After squeezing out a few words in between clenched teeth, Daoist Master Zhifeng flew into a rage and loudly roared, “You guys really want to cover this up!”

“What a joke!”

Daoist Master Feng Yin’s smile suddenly turned cold. “Cover up? If there really is a violation of rules, could we really cover it up!? Now that the fact is clear, Junior Sister has a righteous heart in upholding justice. Not only she wasn’t wrong, her deeds were even commendable. May I ask how would we cover such a person like this, Daoist Master Zhifeng!?”

“Based on things written on this paper!? Would this even count!?” Daoist Master Zhifeng didn’t back down and yelled at the Sect Leader instead, “It was your own people who did the verification, these are your own papers, and all of these are just a testimony from a single person!?”

The more he yelled, the angrier Daoist Master Zhifeng became, and the more relaxed Daoist Master Feng Yin became. “Yes, it’s a single person’s testimony. However, Daoist Master Zhifeng, you claimed that Fifth Junior Sister fabricated rumors to slander your reputation; isn’t that also a single person’s opinion? Or, do you have a clear evidence or a witness’s testimony?”

Daoist Master Zhifeng was stunned; he certainly didn’t have any evidence! In handling their affairs, how could Shengjing Sect need to bother with evidence? That’s ridiculous! Their position as the leader of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals was enough as an evidence!

However, at this time, Daoist Master Feng Yin was using the type of “your words against my words” argument like they were friends with the Shengjing Sect, which made Daoist Master Zhifeng suddenly somewhat at a lost on what to do. However, he quickly found an opening to attack. “Just now, you didn’t even glance at the papers, yet you knew what is written on them. Do you dare to say there’s nothing fishy about it!?”

Daoist Master Feng Yin lightly said, “Why do I need to look at the writing? From the beginning, I completely trust my Junior Sister. This stack of paper is written for you to see, not for us. I believe any Elder in the Heavenly Sword Hall would not doubt their Martial Sister.”

“Hahaha.” The nearby hooded Elder could not help but laugh. “I’ve already said it before, Senior Brother would not let us down!”

The youngest female among them repeatedly nodded. “Yes, although Fifth Senior Sister is cold and somewhat lacking in character, but I absolutely trust her!”

Sixth Elder Lu Li also said, “Ah, speaking of that year, she has also helped a lot of my affairs back then. Although she’s somewhat troublesome, but she’s a credible Martial Sister.”

The Fourth Elder Zhou Ming laughed. “I second that.”

Seeing that several of his fellow Martial Brothers and Sister have taken a stance, the Third Elder Fang He became embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with words.

Although he had made clear of his position at the Heavenly Policy Hall , but at the time, there were only three of them. However, at this moment, there were quite many onlookers, he...

The nearby Liu Xian found that it was somewhat funny to see Third Elder Fang He in this predicament, so he patted his shoulder and then said, “My relationship with Fifth Junior Sister is already known to be the worst; almost every month, I complain about her two or three times. However, this time, I completely trust Junior Sister.”

Finally, Fang He helplessly said, “I also believe her, okay? As long as she could change her bad characters and abide by the sect rules…” His voice continued to get smaller and smaller, also, nobody cared about what he said.

The stance of the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders had been so obvious that there was no possibility of compromise.

Daoist Master Zhifeng gritted his teeth. “Then… this means you guys want to make an enemy of the Shengjing Sect!? Just because of one Jindan Stage Elder!?”

“Hahaha!” Daoist Master Feng Yin suddenly burst out laughing. “Daoist Master Zhifeng, don’t you think it should be us who should ask this question instead, no!? Your sect is the number one sect in the Immortal Cultivation World, does your sect really has the preparation to make us, Spirit Sword Sect, your enemy!? Just because of you, a mere Fourth Rate Yuanying Stage!?”

When he said the last word “stage”, Daoist Master Feng Yin’s fury burst out. In a split second, the entire Spirit Sword Mountain trembled, and Daoist Master Zhifeng, who always flaunted his sect’s power and prestige, the direct recipient of this pressure, nearly lost his consciousness.
