“Ridiculous!You immature boy, spinning tales and inverting right and wrong here!

Do you really think there is no retribution for good and evil?”

Granny Bizhu had been momentarily stunned when Jiang Wang brought up the Sect Leader and the elders of the Five Immortal Sect, but she quickly regained her composure.

Her expression now showed no sign of weakness.

Instead of arguing with Jiang Wang, she turned to Zhongxuan Minghe, “Mr.

Zhongxuan, the Zhong Xuan Family is known for producing heroes, and we sea dwellers admire them.

Why blindly trust a villain and become his pawn today?”

Her tone was one of concern, “When your disciples went to Eternal Winter Island to invite people, you initially said you wouldn’t attend the ceremony and would send a junior in your stead.

Yet now, you’ve suddenly arrived.

With such inconsistent actions, I wonder if everything on the island has been properly taken care of?”

Her voice was gentle, as if reminding him, “Is everything safe within your territory?”

In that instant, Zhongxuan Sheng’s eyes narrowed sharply!

He realized he had overlooked something.

He had underestimated Granny Bizhu or rather, the ambition of the power she represented from the Diao Hai Building.

He had underestimated their ambition!

Prior to this, she had been kind to Jiang Wang, giving him a jade pendant and unconditionally helping him to visit Zhu Bijing…

But what kind of person was she?

Zhu Bijing had been raised by her from a young age, and she claimed to have given up on her just like that.

How could such an old woman be so kind-hearted towards Jiang Wang?

Her refusal of Jiang Wang’s Prime Stone could only mean that she desired far more than what Jiang Wang could offer with the stone.

Zhongxuan Sheng suspected that Granny Bizhu might frame Hai Jingping, and therefore advised Jiang Wang to listen to what she said but to not follow her completely.

Ultimately, turning her own scheme against her confirmed his suspicion, breaking the situation Granny Bizhu had painstakingly crafted.

But was that all Granny Bizhu and the power behind her truly wanted?

Were they only targeting Hai Jingping?

Honestly, Jiang Wang couldn’t add much value to the framing of Hai Jingping, because his “bribe” might not succeed.

The real reason Granny Bizhu went to such lengths could only be for a sure gain.

That gain…

was an island controlled by the Zhong Xuan Family!

She wagered that Jiang Wang would certainly exert all his effort to save Zhu Bijing, and so he would surely involve the Zhong Xun Family.

And the most influential person from the Zhong Xuan Family overseas was none other than Zhongxuan Minghe.

If she was certain that the island controlled by the Zhong Xuan Family was vulnerable at this moment, the power behind her could do so much more…

Seizing control of one of the islands under the Zhong Xuan Family’s rule was undoubtedly the greatest advantage Granny Bizhu could gain from Jiang Wang’s attempt to save someone.

Zhongxuan Sheng had not anticipated her audacity!

The problem now was that Granny Bizhu need not have hinted at this affair; she could have just waited for the news of trouble on the Zhong Xuan Family’s controlled island.

Her reason for bringing it up was to force Zhongxuan Minghe to return for the rescue.

Once Zhongxuan Minghe left, would Xu Zhilan and Fan Qingqing from the Five Immortal Sect really have the courage to testify?

If even Zhongxuan Sheng’s own uncle was compelled to leave, and the Zhong Xuan Family could not even secure their own island, how could they protect them?

No matter what promises Zhongxuan Sheng made privately to them, could they really count on it?

This was Granny Bizhu’s move to break the game!

Because she knew, once Xu Zhilan and Fan Qingqing spoke, it would be extremely detrimental to her.

Taking over the island was in the interest of her entire faction, and, as the initiator, she would enjoy the most bountiful rewards.

But the accountability on the End of the World Platform was a matter of her own personal interest.

Self-preservation was now the most important; for this, she was willing to risk the operation of taking the island.

Bystanders would struggle to grasp the schemes and confrontations hidden within Granny Bizhu’s soft-spoken words.

But clearly, Zhongxuan Minghe understood.

He too showed an unmistakable hesitation.

“Uncle,” Zhongxuan Sheng figured out everything in a moment of thought and spoke laughingly, “Our Zhong Xuan Family has managed Eternal Winter Island for so many years, surely we don’t depend solely on you to survive, do we?”

He was asking Zhongxuan Minghe whether there was a possibility that something could go wrong with Eternal Winter Island.

“That won’t happen,” Zhongxuan Minghe said.

No matter what means the force behind Granny Bizhu intended to use, they would not brazenly attack Eternal Winter Island, as that would amount to a declaration of war by the Diao Hai Building against Qi Country.

And with some unorthodox methods, given how many years the Zhong Xuan Family had managed Eternal Winter Island, it was unlikely that there would be any trouble in such a short amount of time.

He still had that much confidence.

Zhongxuan Sheng then asked, “Chongjia Island, whose management rights only last for another nine years—can our Zhong Xuan Family afford to lose it?”

His attitude was resolute, even if it meant losing Chongjia Island, he would definitely support Jiang Wang!

If Eternal Winter Island would not be affected, then the obvious risks lay with Chongjia Island.

The island had been obtained in an exchange with the Tian family and had only ten years of management rights.

It was not possible to invest heavily in the island’s defenses, making it insufficient to withstand the current risks.

Zhongxuan Sheng’s question not only showcased the strength of the Zhong Xuan Family but also subtly reminded Zhongxuan Minghe to remember who was responsible for the ten-year management rights of Chongjia Island…

What Zhongxuan Minghe truly thought, no one knew, but he smiled and said, “Plucking a single hair from nine oxen, what harm is there to the master house?”

Of course, this was an exaggeration.

No matter how sizeable the Zhong Xuan Family was, an island at sea could not be considered a trivial matter, but the situation required such grandeur.

“Did you hear what my uncle said?” Zhongxuan Sheng glared at Granny Bizhu, his squinted eyes radiating an intimidating chill, “The safety of the island is none of your concern.

You’d better worry about how to survive this ordeal yourself.”

“Jiang Wang!” he shouted, “Everyone is waiting for you, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking…” Jiang Wang said aloud, “Guiding a disciple to pass on messages, indirectly plotting the murder of a fellow elder.

I wonder if this crime warrants death!”

Although he did not immediately understand Granny Bizhu’s intentions, he quickly had an idea after noticing Zhongxuan Sheng’s expression.

But he couldn’t act on behalf of the Zhong Xuan Family and had no right to demand Zhongxuan Sheng to sacrifice too much, all he could do at that moment was remain silent.

However, now that Zhongxuan Sheng had made his position clear, Jiang Wang was no longer hesitant.

Just as they had discussed previously at the Star River Pavilion, Jiang Wang was prepared…

to utterly ruin Zhongxuan Sheng’s influence at sea.

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Jiang Wang bowed around, “I am not sure how many of you are aware of the conflict between the Five Immortal Sect and the Angry Whale Gang on Youxia Island.

I suspect many are aware!

Let me inform you, the Five Immortal Sect is backed by Granny Bizhu, and the Angry Whale Gang, by Hai Zongming!”

“Last year, Granny Bizhu arranged for two things: one, for the Five Immortal Sect to expand and recruit more disciples, and two, for them to elevate the friction with the Angry Whale Gang.

I would like to ask everyone, what was the preparation for these two actions?

Coincidentally, Granny Bizhu’s orders were issued just after Hai Zongming left the sect, and at the time, no one knew that he would die!”

“How could Granny Bizhu have taken such precocious measures?

How could she have been prepared to seize the other party’s foundation right after Hai Zongming had just left, without fearing his retaliation?”

“Because she knew Hai Zongming would run into trouble!

Even more, the reason Hai Zongming found trouble was orchestrated by her!”

The entire audience was in an uproar!

With things explained to this extent, it was all too clear.

If the Five Immortal Sect could prove this, Granny Bizhu would have no rebuttal.

And proving it was too easy…

Zhu Bijing looked up with weak eyes towards Granny Bizhu.

But the latter only presented her with an aged back.

Jiang Wang looked around, delivering his final statement on the End of the World Platform, “How could a young girl like Zhu Bijing, inexperienced in worldly affairs, escape the palm of an old demon like Granny Bizhu!

She harbored no suspicion towards her master, who raised her from childhood!

A little hint, a little leading on, and she would be in a desperate panic, easily manipulated.

She was nothing but a puppet in her master’s hands.

Should she really bear the responsibility for Hai Zongming’s death?”

“True Man Chongguang,” Jiang Wang addressed Chongguang Zhenren, “Every word I say is the truth.

Sect Leader Xu Zhilan and Elder Fan Qingqing from the Five Immortal Sect can testify!

The actions and timing of the Five Immoral Sect can be traced!

Please make a fair judgment!”
