"But Jiang Yi has only been awake for a day, and his injuries haven't improved at all. In fact, they're even worse than they were two years ago."
The Fifth Elder showed a worried look on his face, "It's really inappropriate to let him go down the mountain at this time."
"Then let Zuo Jing go."
Jiang Wenzhen spoke decisively, and the Fifth Elder's expression immediately changed. "Great Elder, this is not the right time! The letter clearly states that Jiang Zhen should deliver it. How can we change someone else?"
"Fifth Elder, do you really not understand?"
The Third Elder had a playful smile on his face. "The Wanjian Sect doesn't absolutely need Jiang Yi. They just want our Fengyue Sect's attitude. If we really send the sick Jiang Yi, won't the Wanjian Sect's Grand Master think our Fengyue Sect is disrespectful?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold and silent, several times quieter than before.
"What's going on?"
"Why are all the Jiang family speaking up for Zuo Jing when they don't help their own people?"
"Jiang Yi wasn't born of a legitimate wife, and with the reincarnation story revealed, the Jiang family has long disliked Jiang Yi. Now that he's seriously injured, and his family's foundation is at stake, I think the Jiang family is likely to give up on him."
"The world is about to change..."
"This is inappropriate."
The middle-aged man in green clothes on the right suddenly spoke up, "If we need to replace someone temporarily, we might as well send a letter to Wanjianmen to inquire. If they agree, we can let Zuo Jing go. If they refuse, Jiang Yi will still have to go."
"Du Baili, what do you think of my Fengyue Sect?!"
The Third Elder's expression was cold: "My Fengyue Sect is the largest sect in Dongzhou. When did we have to follow the orders of the Wanjian Sect?"
"I'm just speaking the truth."
Du Baili's eyes were slightly cold. "Didn't the Third Elder just say that Wanjian Sect wanted to see the attitude of Fengyue Sect? Since we want to show goodwill, our attitude cannot be casual."
"How can sending Zuo Jing be so casual?"
The Third Elder refused to give in. "It's you, Du Baili. Everyone in the Fengyue Sect knows that your Du family is the closest to Jiang Yi. Now that you've spoken out today, I think it's best to discuss the matter objectively and speak for Jiang Yi, right?"
“That’s enough!”
A cold wind blew by, carrying with it a hint of blood.
Du Baili and the third elder's expressions changed slightly when they saw this. They snorted coldly and stopped arguing.
"You two are seated in the second and third seats of the elders, both of you are highly respected figures in the sect. How can you be so noisy in the hall?"
The Great Elder reprimanded him, the bloodshot in his eyes subsiding as he looked at the last seated man again. "Zuo Jing, your trip to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was misguided by the cultivators from the Demon Palace, and your work was ineffective. Are you willing to atone for your sins? Make another trip to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
Zuo Jing was shocked. He suppressed the excitement in his eyes, immediately stood up and clasped his fists. Just as he was about to agree, a cough was suddenly heard outside.
"Ahem... Great Elder, I will let this matter be handled by this disciple."
Jiang Yi changed his usual white clothes and stepped into the door wearing a black and gold true disciple uniform, which made him look a little energetic. Except for his pale face, he did not show many injuries.
Jiang Yi's gaze swept across the elders in the hall. He paused slightly when he saw Zuo Jing, whose face was filled with hostility. He finally settled on the Great Elder's face and said calmly, "My appearance will not bring disgrace to the sect."
Jiang Wenzhen's eyes flashed red. "Jiang Yi, do you know what you are talking about? You were not invited to the meeting today, and you barged in without permission. Where do you put the sect's rules?"
"The Great Elder can let this matter go on and punish us later."
Jiang Yi's expression remained calm and composed. "I have some suspicions about the Supreme Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. I must personally meet him to verify them. I beg for your approval, Great Elder."
Jiang Wenzhen's face was stern. "The matter has been settled and cannot be changed! You just woke up and are seriously injured. If you go down the mountain and are attacked by the Underworld again, who will save you? Let's not discuss this matter anymore!"
After saying that, Jiang Wen simply turned around and left.
Seeing this, Zuo Jing finally put his worries to rest. He glanced at Jiang Yi provocatively and said loudly, "Disciple will obey Master's orders and will go down the mountain to Wanjianmen!"
After saying that, Zuo Jing couldn't help but look up to see Jiang Yi's reaction, but he saw that Jiang Yi still had a cold expression on his face, looking in the direction where the Great Elder left, and he was even unwilling to look at him.
His anger immediately surged up, and he stood in front of Jiang Yi with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Brother Jiang, don't you see clearly? Your foundation is damaged and difficult to heal. The sect has already given up on you.
From today on, I will be the first true disciple of Fengyue Sect. I advise you to give up struggling, otherwise your life will only get worse."
