Qin Ziteng snorted coldly, "You've already made your point so clear, what else is there to explain?"
Xu Xingzhi ignored Qin Ziteng and continued speaking to everyone present.
“I know what everyone is worried about, and how could I bear to disturb the peace of the Ling family? But as long as that great demon is not eliminated, the entire cultivation world will not have a day of peace.”
"Uncle Ling was a man of great integrity and righteousness during his lifetime. For the sake of the entire cultivation world and to avenge the Ling family, I believe that if Uncle Ling were alive, he would understand us."
Someone scoffed, "That sounds nice, but let's not even talk about whether your method can actually capture Ling Mo. Even if you do, what will you do to silence the public's criticism if you face condemnation for this?"
Xu Xingzhi: "I dare not guarantee that I can suppress public opinion, but for the sake of all living beings and for the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world, I am willing to bear all consequences and responsibilities."
"If anyone holds me accountable afterward, I will proactively tell everyone that using the remains of the Ling family to find Ling Mo was my idea alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone here. You don't need to have any worries."
Xu Xingzhi's words were utterly righteous and awe-inspiring, neither humble nor arrogant.
When he got emotional, he even stood up.
That's the kind of presence they're in!
That feeling!
If you gave him a little breeze, and his clothes fluttered a bit, he'd probably be able to ascend to heaven on the spot...
Everyone present was surprised that Xu Xingzhi would take full responsibility for all the consequences.
In fact, for everyone present, the condition of the Ling family members' remains was not important.
All they care about is their own reputation.
Now that Xu Xingzhi has proposed a new method to deal with Ling Mo, and is even willing to take all the responsibility upon himself, they really don't know what to say.
Rong Zi rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and leisurely sized up Xu Xingzhi.
This guy seems a little too enthusiastic about catching Ling Mo.
Although Xu Xingzhi did not immediately convince the core team to agree with his approach, his initiative in taking responsibility did cause some people's opinions to begin to waver.
After the meeting adjourned.
In Rong Zi's room.
Rong Zi skillfully affixed soundproofing talismans around the room, then sat down at the table.
Cai Niu, Jun Moyao, and Xiao Kuihua all emerged from the Hongmeng Ring.
Cai Niu flew onto the table with a fire crystal in her arms and happily gnawed on it.
The little sunflower, just like a proper person, used its two leaves to hold a high-grade spirit stone and slowly absorbed the energy inside.
Since Rong Zi became rich, Xiao Kuihua's life has also improved.
Rong Zi allowed it to absorb twenty high-grade spirit stones every day.
Jun Moyao then sat on Rong Zi's shoulders as if he knew exactly where to go.
Qi Yufei noticed that Ling Mo had been frowning ever since he came out of the council hall, so he patted Ling Mo's shoulder and comforted him.
"Third Senior Brother, don't worry. Even if Xu Xingzhi can persuade these people, the Immortal Alliance will never let him act so recklessly."
Rong Zi slumped in the chair, squinting as he looked up at the roof beam, seemingly lost in thought.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said something.
Something's fishy.
Qi Yufei looked at her. "What's fishy?"
"There's something fishy about that Xu Xingzhi."
Hearing her say that, Qi Yufei immediately leaned closer, "What do you mean?"
Has Master discovered that Xu Xingzhi has revealed some weakness?
Rong Zi sat up straight, looked up at Ling Mo, and asked, "Before your family discovered the secret between the Xu family and the Demon Clan, had your two families ever been enemies?"
Ling Mo shook his head.
"No, although we are both from the seven great cultivation families, we have very little contact with the Xu family."
Rong Zi touched his chin, completely baffled.
"That's really strange. Why is Xu Xingzhi so determined to capture you, even at the cost of infamy and damaging his own reputation?"
Ling Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Just now in the council hall, I sensed that Xu Xingzhi was exuding demonic energy. He seemed unable to control the demonic energy in his body, especially when his emotions fluctuated."
Rong Zi raised an eyebrow. "It seems we need to find an opportunity to secretly investigate that Xu guy."
Qi Yufei: "How do we investigate?"
Although Xu Xingzhi's strength is not a threat.
But this is, after all, the headquarters of the Demon-Slaying Squad. There are no fewer than ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators here, not to mention the countless Golden Core stage cultivators.
In this situation, how could they possibly find out who this Mr. Xu was?
Ling Mo: "There are many experts here now, so it will be very difficult for us to approach Xu Xingzhi without anyone noticing."
Rong Zi glanced at them and said speechlessly, "Who said we were going to personally intervene?"
Qi Yufei was dumbfounded, "If I don't go out in person... how am I supposed to investigate?"
Rong Zi smiled and looked at Jun Moyao, who was sitting on her shoulders, and called out to him in a high-pitched voice.
"Egg~"
Hearing her voice, which sent chills down his spine, Jun Moyao almost jumped out of his skin.
He braced himself on Rong Zi's shoulder, shifted his small body slightly away, and stared at Rong Zi warily.
What do you want to do?
Jun Moyao struggled for a long time, but Rong Zi easily pinched his waist with just two fingers and lifted it directly in front of him.
