Seeing that Xiang Sheng's method was effective, Ying Changfeng struck while the iron was hot. He stood up, clasped his fists, and then said loudly, "You are all disciples of high-ranking sects, so it is difficult for you to understand the difficulties of small sects. Everything has its pros and cons. The monks of the Incense Hall are originally the five major sects who summoned the wandering cultivators to the city. It is normal that the monks are of varying quality, but..."
Ying Changfeng's face was stern. "I'm afraid it's not just a matter of good and bad people. That's why Deputy Palace Master Broken Blade is so eager to stir up trouble and kill people to silence them!"
Hei Jue carefully understood what Ying Changfeng said, and then recalled Duan Dao's words and actions before, which were indeed somewhat deliberate.
He felt a chill in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Since Sect Master Changfeng has made this matter clear, there must be a way to resolve it?"
Ying Changfeng glanced at the indifferent Wei Lesheng and replied, "I just came up with a plan. I'd like to ask you two to keep an eye on Deputy Palace Master Broken Blade. I'll rest in my humble abode for now. Once the five major sects have gathered, I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
"Ying Changfeng!"
Broken Blade's face turned grim. "If you really want to do this to the end, and this matter proves that my Xianghuo Hall is innocent, I will make sure that not a single blade of grass remains in your Wanjian Sect!"
Ying Changfeng's eyes twitched, but he didn't respond.
"As the Sect Master said, our Thousand Star Hall has agreed."
Wei Lesheng suddenly spoke up, turning to look at Broken Blade: "During this period of time, Deputy Hall Master, please behave yourself. Otherwise, won't you confirm Master Ying's suspicions?"
Hei Jue had no reason to hesitate and nodded slightly, saying, "Since Master Wei Zhenchuan has made such a decision, our Tianyan Sect is naturally willing to give your sect a chance. I will be inconvenienced for the next period of time."
The storm subsided along with Duan Dao's full of grievances.
When Wei Lesheng and the other six followed Xiang Jianjue out of the main hall and headed for the guest rooms, Ying Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed on the chair.
"Brother, are you really sure?"
Lin Hai came over, his face solemn. "If this is just a delaying tactic, once everyone from the five major sects arrives, the next battle will be a hundred times more difficult to handle."
"That's not necessarily true."
Ying Changfeng looked up and smiled, then suddenly saw Xiang Sheng behind Lin Hai. He immediately thought of something, pursed his lips, and asked, "Luo Sheng, come here."
Xiang Sheng's face turned pale, and he bit his lower lip tightly as he approached cautiously. Before he could speak, Lin Hai spoke first, "Brother, it's not Junior Sister's fault for serving tea. I just sent a voice message to find out. It was because the original Junior Sister suddenly fell ill, so Junior Sister was temporarily replaced."
Ying Changfeng looked helpless, "You only know how to protect your junior brothers and sisters."
This was not what he wanted to ask, but seeing how frightened the little girl was, there was no way she could be related to that master swordsman.
He was worrying too much.
Waving his hand, Ying Changfeng asked Lin Hai and Xiang Chang to go down, but he felt emotional in his heart. That female cultivator could actually transmit messages to him secretly from a very long distance without being discovered, and could also see through the situation. With just a few words, she could save his Wanjian Sect from danger. She was truly unfathomable.
"Seniors, this is Welcoming Peak. There are many palaces on the peak. You can choose your own. If you need anything, just let me know."
After saying this to Jian Jue, he bowed and turned to leave.
Hei Jue watched his departing figure and couldn't help but sigh, "Although the Wanjian Sect is small, I never thought they would have such a talented swordsman. If they hadn't died young, they would surely have been able to compete with the Tianjiao."
"Guardian Hei Jue has good eyesight."
Wei Lesheng said calmly, and it was hard to tell whether it was a courtesy or genuine admiration. "This is a serious matter. How about we take turns monitoring Broken Blade?"
Being told this to his face, Duan Dao couldn't hold back his expression and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Wei Zhenchuan, I know you've been holding a grudge because of what happened back then, but you're taking revenge on your own behalf today. You'll definitely regret it later!"
What happened back then?!
Hei Jue's eyes flickered slightly, as if he hadn't heard what Duan Dao said. He chuckled and nodded, saying, "What Wei Zhenchuan said makes perfect sense. Let's do it this way."
Both parties chose an adjacent guest hall to stay in, and Duan Dao was temporarily kept in the care of Wei Lesheng.
Gong Yue and Hei Jue sat down in the hall and couldn't help asking, "Protector, do you know what Broken Blade was talking about?"
Hei Jue smiled slightly, "Your Highness the Saint is really curious. We are guests here, so to prevent any eavesdroppers, I will explain this matter to Your Highness after we return.
Gong Yue curled her lips and said, "Forget it. The guardian will stay behind to secretly monitor Broken Blade... and the Thousand Star Palace's true disciples. This Saint Girl will go out for a walk."
Hei Jue's smile faltered slightly. "Saint, this is not the church. If you make a mistake."
"What could go wrong? Do the people from the Wanjian Sect dare to attack me? I'm here as a guest, not to go to jail."
Gong Yue snorted softly, and without caring what Hei Jue said, she walked away with a flick of her sleeves.
