Atop the End of the World Platform, there was a rare moment of silence.The crowd was silent, waiting for Chongguang Zhenrenâs decision.
And after a moment of contemplation, Chongguang Zhenren said, âConspiring against a fellow elder is an unforgivable crime.
However, considering your many years of hard work for the Sect and your significant contributions to the defense of our maritime borders, your position as an elder tasked with practical affairs is now revoked, and you are demoted to the Lost World.
There you must atone by killing a hundred commander-level Sea Clan members before you can leave.
Are you satisfied?â
Granny Bizhuâs face turned deathly pale, but still, she clenched her teeth and responded, âI ⌠accept my punishment wholeheartedly!â
As long as she didnât die on the spot, there was still a chance for everything.
The entire Sea Clan was militarized.
An ordinary Sea Clan member could match a Cultivator of the Ascending Dragon Realm from the Human Race, a Battle General Level Sea Clan member corresponded to a Cultivator of the Inner Mansion Realm, and a commander-level Sea Clan member was on par with a Cultivator from the External Building Environment.
Due to innate physical differences, members of the Sea Clan of the same level are generally stronger than their human Cultivator counterparts.
This meant that Granny Bizhu would need to fight a hundred life-and-death battles before she could atone for her crimes and leave the Lost World.
Even so, her position as an elder was forever gone.
Unless she started all over again to accumulate merit, unless there was someone willing to take her backâŚ
As a reward for her understanding of the rules, Gu Huaixin would naturally take her in, and it wasnât impossible that he might operate behind the scenes to make her tasks in the Lost World significantly easier to accomplishâOf course, thereâs no guarantee of complete safety, even if Gu Huaixin took action himself.
After all, entering the Lost World is inherently fraught with danger.
What tormented Granny Bizhu was that most of her lifeâs struggles had turned into bubbles.
She had fought so hard, plotted with every ounce of her wit, but in the end, she found herself further from God ArrivesâŚ
But she couldnât resist this outcome; in fact, it was already the best possible one.
If she admitted her guilt now, there would still be a chance for her to return to the Near Sea Archipelago and start accumulating merit again.
This was because she chose dignity, the dignity that Chongguang Zhenren afforded her.
If she hadnât chosen dignity, the matter would have been as simple as a slap on the wrist.
Therefore, she must not only accept it in her heart but also verbally.
To Chongguang Zhenren, the fact that Gu Huaixin had once again involved people from Qin Zhen and Xu Xiangwan indicates that he had made some breakthrough and was no longer satisfied with the status quo in the presence of imminent drastic changes in the Near Sea Archipelago.
But so what?
He firmly believed in his own position, one that Gu Huaixin was far from being able to shake at this point.
A certain degree of struggle within the Diao Hai Building is necessary; without it, the organization would become like stagnant water, losing its vitality and eventually perishing.
However, these conflicts need to be kept within certain limits.
Gu Huaixin had overstepped those limits, he thought.
âChong Zhenren!â
At that moment, he heard the voice of that young man again.
Excessively young.
The young voice said, âNow that the main culprit behind Elder Hai Zongmingâs death has been identified, does that mean Zhu Bijing can be released?â
Chongguang Zhenren heard a light chuckle in his heart.
Too young, isnât it?
The life and death of Zhu Bijing are inconsequential.
But what is implicated behind her involves the struggle between Granny Bizhu and Hai Zongming.
Tracing even further back, it involves the three True MonarchsâGu Huaixin, Qin Zhen, and Xu Xiangwan!
How could it be taken lightly?
It suffices to contain the matter within the level of covert and overt conflicts between Granny Bizhu and Hai Zongming.
Hai Zongmingâs death was related only to Granny Bizhu, Zhu Bijing, and Jiang Wang.
This was the optimal outcome.
And besidesâŚ
Asking me now is pointlessâŚ
Chongguang Zhenren mused, inexplicably.
Then he bowed his head and brought his hands together in front of his forehead, âGreetings to the Tower Master!â
Swish!
Everyone atop the End of the World Platform stood up, everyone bowed deeply, bowing to the end.
Even Jueming Islandâs Qi Xiao and Yang Valleyâs Yang Feng lowered their proud heads that belonged to True Men of the Age.
At the very front of the End of the World Platform, atop the towering cliff, stood a man facing the sea, his hands clasped behind him.
He was simply standing there, yet he seemed not to exist.
He bore no discernible aura, but no one could hold their head high.
Because he was the master of the Diao Hai Building and the supreme ruler of the ten-thousand-mile maritime domain of the Near Sea Archipelago.
Standing at the pinnacle of transcendence, he had proven himself in the Yan Dao Realm!
Compared to the name âYan Dao Realm,â people were more accustomed to calling itâŚ
True Monarch!
The ultimate in humanity, is to be a monarch.
When a monarch orders a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die.
The Yan Daoâs command over the Dongzhen, and the True Monarchâs power over True Men, is also about life and death, completely at their fingertips!
That robe of sea blue, ceaselessly billowed in the whistling sea wind.
The person did not turn around, and the crowd on the End of the World Platform kept their heads down the whole time.
Having proven in the Yan Dao, he was known as Wei Xun.
What was he thinking?
Everyone was pondering this question, speculating about his will, submitting to his majesty.
But not a single person dared to ask.
âYou need not be so courteous,â he finally turned around and said, âPlease, take a seat.â
Only then was Jiang Wang able to clearly see the most powerful and authoritative figure in the Near Sea Archipelago.
One could see his features clearly, but it was hard to describe them with a single word.
They couldnât be defined by mere handsomeness or ugliness.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Wang found a wordââSerenity.â
âs face gave off a sense of serenity.
But it was a serenity as deep as the ocean.
One could feel at peace, yet could not ignore the immense power hidden beneath that tranquilityâŚ
a boundless power.
With a slight lift of Wei Xunâs eyelids, everyone present felt they were being watched and involuntarily became even more respectful.
Eyes on the nose, nose on the heart.
Even someone as rebellious as Xu Xiangqian, as haughty as Li Fengyao, and as nobly born as Jiang Wuyou couldnât help but hold their breath and concentrate.
âI like young people,â he said.
âSeeing so many young talents here today, the Human Race is thriving with geniuses, which comforts my heart.â
As a powerful being in the Yan Dao Realm, who roamed the Lost World, slaying countless of the Sea Clan, he certainly had the right to speak and to expect so.
âJiang Wang, right?â he asked.
Nobody expected that someone of Wei Xunâs stature and strength would care about a minor incident that had just taken place on the End of the World Platform.
Truly trivial.
With a mere flick of his hand, a casual command, untold numbers of Zhu Bijing should live or die.
For him, it was utterly insignificant.
Jiang Wang bowed deeply: âIt is an honor for Jiang Wang to be remembered by the Tower Master.â
âAll this fuss, inviting so many to speak for you.
I thought you wanted to destroy my Diao Hai Building!â
made a joke that could scare one to death.
Those who had spoken for Jiang Wang at the event could not help but bow their heads in shock and fear.
Behind these people stood Qingya Academy, Shimen Li Clan, Da Ze Tian Clan, Bei County Yan Family, Longmen Academy, Zhong Xuan FamilyâŚ
And one could even include JueMing Islandâs Qi Xiao and Yang Valleyâs Yang Feng, who had supported the cause in their own way.
Put like this, it indeed seemed as if there was an intention, accidentally or otherwise, to unite and challenge the sea sovereignty of Diao Hai Building.
Could Wei Xun have misunderstood, thinking that these powers wanted to come together to challenge the maritime supremacy of Diao Hai Building?
âHow dare they!â
Jiang Wang immediately clarified: âJiang Wangâs cultivation is merely at the Inner Mansion level, not even twenty years old.
What capability do I have to challenge the authority of Diao Hai Building?â
âNot only do I lack the courage, but I also lack the intention!
Diao Hai Building has stood as the iron wall at the sea borders for a thousand years without falling.
With a clear conscience and my blood still hot, how could I entertain such wild thoughts?â
He bowed deeply: âIt is reallyâŚ
where justice lies.
We all respect Diao Hai Building and do not wish for the Sea Sacrifice to be tainted, nor can we bear to see the Heroic Spirits return home amid innocent bloodshed!â
