The Elders of the various sects unanimously concurred.
The act of killing fellow disciples for the sake of cultivation was undeniably a departure from orthodox practices, resulting in nothing but chaos and disorder within their ranks.
There was a lingering concern that other disciples might remain in jeopardy as long as the perpetrator was still at large.
Fortunately, his demise put an end to this threat.
The Grand Unity Sect, being the most formidable among all the sects, found it entirely justifiable for Mr. Head’s daughter to take charge of this matter, embodying the essence of justice as the abbot.
Though Moon Sect expressed some regret over the loss of one of their disciples, they chose to remain silent, wary of exacerbating an already delicate situation. Should matters escalate further, they would inevitably be forced to take responsibility.
Following the resolution of Mi Xinghe’s case…
Moon Sect understood the need to offer an explanation as well.
Their disciples had resorted to unorthodox methods for cultivation, inadvertently causing a great deal of trouble.
Furthermore, Moon Sect had pitted a cultivator of Supreme Warrior rank against one of Paragon Warrior status—an issue that demanded clarification.
An Elder from the Moon Sect panicked and hastily asserted, “We have no knowledge of the Mixing River incident. While our strength may not be remarkable, our foundation is strong, and we boast numerous outstanding disciples. We would never engage in such reckless behavior; it would be detrimental to our sect’s reputation.”
Gu Chaoyan begrudgingly acknowledged that Moon Sect was largely ignorant of the circumstances surrounding the event.
She had encountered the man in question on the previous night, and he was indeed affiliated with the Grand Unity Sect.
In response, the Elder from the Moon Sect made a solemn pledge.
The various sects collectively decided not to delve further into the matter.
After all, how could a prestigious sect like Moon Sect engage in such actions without substantial evidence to support the claims?
Mi Xinghe’s demise stood as the conclusive answer to their inquiries.
But…
Those sects remained indifferent to the compensation offered by Moon Sect.
Over the past few years, Moon Sect had consistently emerged victorious in their contests, reaping substantial profits. Consequently, the other sects harbored no resentment.
Henceforth…
In the upcoming competitions, Moon Sect’s involvement seemed improbable, as Supreme Sect had secured victory. Additionally, Moon Sect intended to not only provide the acquired benefits but also triple the compensation for the other sects, a substantial offer indeed.
This represented a significant enticement for Moon Sect’s disciples.
Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, remained disinterested in these developments.
However…
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but view her resolution of Mi Xinghe’s predicament and her access to the spring water on Wuyuan Island as a tremendous opportunity. Rumors had it that the island’s spring water possessed remarkable properties, potentially doubling cultivation speed. She pondered if she could leverage this chance to break through to the level of a Paragon.
For a fleeting moment, anticipation welled within Gu Chaoyan.
With the contest concluded, Pei Yueling departed early.
The various sects disbanded following the resolution of the issue.
En route, Di Hongyun berated the Moon Sect disciples. “It seems someone suggested that our disciples only excel at evasion, while some sects resort to deceit!”
“How embarrassing! I’d have hidden my face in shame!”
Di Hongyun harbored no fondness for Moon Sect disciples and displayed no politeness in his remarks.
Moon Sect disciples found themselves at a loss for words, acknowledging their wrongdoing as they departed with bowed heads.
Di Hongyun couldn’t contain his elation.
“Junior Sister, you’re truly brilliant!” Di Hongyun praised her, having initially struggled to devise a solution. Yet, his Junior Sister had swiftly resolved the matter.
Gu Chaoyan remained expressionless.
She knew her abilities fell short. If she had possessed greater skill, she might have prevented Pei Yueling from killing Mi Xinghe and severing vital clues..
