Although the people who witnessed it felt pain, they also... thought about how cruel the new sect leader was.
I couldn't help but feel worried.
“Even if the new sect leader is cruel, there’s nothing we common folk can do,” the middle-aged man interjected.
"That's true."
Although they possessed some cultivation, they could only barely protect themselves. Even if the new sect leader was tyrannical, they didn't have the courage to resist.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bullied by Wang Batian for so many years.
Back then, there were people who resisted Wang Batian's tyranny, and even reported it to the temple, but in the end... nothing came of it, and the cultivator who spoke out for the people is still missing.
In reality, they were killed, and might not even have been left with a complete corpse.
"You don't know this, but although the new sect leader is a bit cruel, he is far better than Wang Batian."
The table next door.
The old man said with a smile.
"Old sir, how did you know?"
Someone asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to worry about that. In short... this person is definitely not like Wang Batian who would oppress the people."
That's right, this person is Ling Feng's master, Physician Jiang.
He came here to persuade Ling Feng to return to the temple to receive his punishment, thinking that it would be more realistic to have him wander around Tianyun City before returning to report.
And Di Qing wouldn't suspect her, Doctor Jiang thought to herself – she was really smart.
He was drinking tea when he heard these people talking about Wang Batian's atrocities!
This news has never reached the realm of the gods!
It seems the Wang family has suppressed this matter very well.
"Speaking of the sect leader, it was best when Princess Liuyue was still here! Back then, the wealth of our Tianyun City was among the best in the entire Kyushu! It's just a pity..." The person who spoke sighed.
"Unfortunately, Princess Liuyue is a member of the demon race."
"Yes, if only Princess Liuyue weren't a member of the Ghost Clan."
"The Ghost Clan?" A young man sneered from a corner. "Some humans are not even as good as the Ghost Clan."
"Yes, it is said that the Ghost Clan is bloodthirsty, but Princess Liuyue has never killed anyone without a reason."
She killed only the most heinous criminals who oppressed the people! And with her medical skills, she also benefited many people!
"Yes, Princess Liuyue is a good person..."
"Even humans have good and bad sides, so are all ghosts bad?"
Some people couldn't help but speak up, saying that they had all received some kind of favor from Liuyue over the years.
"What's the use of saying all this, Princess Liuyue... Alas! Heaven is jealous of talent."
Hearing the whispers of these people, Dr. Jiang stroked his non-existent goatee.
I never imagined that little girl would have such a high reputation among the people!
That's really rare!
A person who has been 'dead' for five years.
There are still so many people who care about it.
This girl...
That's impressive!
Back then, Dr. Jiang didn't have much interaction with Jun Liuyue, but Liuyue was known for her volatile and arrogant temper! Dr. Jiang had heard about her.
But in the eyes of the people, this girl was indeed a good person.
After finishing his tea, Doctor Jiang turned and left the teahouse, heading towards the Brahma Sect.
After wandering around the Brahma Sect for a while, Doctor Jiang thought to himself, "If I just barge in like this, I might get beaten to death."
Doctor Jiang looked up at the mountain gate and muttered to himself, thinking that since he had already arrived, he might as well have met that brat Ling Feng.
Now we can go back and report.
Thinking about it, Dr. Jiang turned around and left with a satisfied smile.
The gatekeeper asked, "Who is this old man?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him before, and we have no idea what he's muttering about."
...
Early the next morning, Guo Qingping sent someone to deliver spirit crystals. Liu Yue glanced at the space and estimated that there were about 30 million spirit crystals here!
There were still 30 million left, and Liu Yue gave him a ten-day deadline! Guo Qingping's scalp tingled; the remaining 30 million had all fallen into the hands of the Wang family.
He didn't see a single penny! If he were to take those 30 million, he'd be penniless in an instant!
They can't even pay the servants' wages at the mansion; they only have thirty million left...
Because of her son's existence, Jun Liuyue knew that, given Jun Liuyue's style of doing things, no matter how well he hid, once Jun Liuyue found him, everything would be over!
That was his only son! Therefore, he dared not act rashly and could only honestly think of a solution.
Fortunately, they gave him ten days.
Within three days, the contents of the scroll had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyushu. When Liu Yue found out, she was somewhat surprised; Tianxuan Pavilion was quite fast.
Now the people of Kyushu are talking about this.
The temple instantly became the subject of ridicule among the people, and even the royal family was implicated.
Meanwhile, after Di Qingluan gave her own spiritual bone to Di Qingluan, her cultivation level plummeted to rock bottom.
He was very weak at the moment, and it took a lot of rare medicinal herbs to restore some of his vitality.
But Xuanxin's face looked extremely pale, as if she had just survived a catastrophe.
Back then, she also experienced the pain of having her divine bones removed from Jun Liuyue, but... Jun Liuyue was forced, while she did it voluntarily.
All her years of cultivation were reduced to ashes.
Xuanxin felt like she was having a heart attack just thinking about it! But then she thought of her daughter, who wouldn't be a waste! She would carry on her daughter's talent.
Lady Xuanxin felt much better.
When the news of the chaos across the Nine Provinces reached Lady Xuanxin's ears, it was already the fourth day!
"What did you say?" Madam Xuanxin looked up abruptly, and the maid Qingyi who had reported the news quickly supported her. "Madam."
She dared not continue speaking, fearing that Madam Xuanxin would not be able to withstand the blow.
"Tell me everything, what else is there?" Madam Xuanxin said, supporting herself.
"It's not just about the princess, but also... the Wang family. The head of the family has done a lot of shady things over the years, and they've all been exposed."
"Find a way to suppress this matter! It absolutely cannot reach His Majesty's ears!"
"Madam, I'm afraid it won't work." Qingyi wiped away a cold sweat. "This matter... has already spread throughout the entire Nine Provinces."
Even if you can silence the mouths of one city, you can't silence the mouths of all the people of Kyushu!
By the time she learned of this news, the story had already spread far and wide!
Gossip about temples spreads much faster than regular gossip, by more than a couple of times.
Some people even proactively inquired about what had happened.
The entire temple now looks like a duck being roasted over a fire!
"And, there's also the matter of Princess Liuyue from back then, which has been rumored." Qingyi said cautiously.
This matter concerns Princess Qingluan.
