"Peak Master Xu, you should investigate properly," Wang Ba said, cupping his fists. His status and position were inferior to Peak Master Xu. Moreover, dealing with Yun Lang was not something that could be accomplished quickly. If the peak masters were to believe that Yun Lang had violated sect rules, then things would certainly not be like this.
"Investigate?" Xu Changnian hesitated. No one could do anything. If they were in trouble, perhaps anyone would step forward. He couldn't help but stabilize himself. When danger arose, it would surely be a place they couldn't reach.
"The situation with Peak Jiang still needs to be clarified," Wang Ba said meaningfully. It was clear he wanted Xu Changnian to investigate Yun Lang and avenge his son. To deal with Yun Lang, other methods besides using the issue of Peak Jiang were ineffective. It was precisely because of this that they all felt troubled. If real danger arose, anyone could be in peril. It couldn't help but make them uneasy, as danger was what they worried about.
"Speak, what is all of your attitudes?" Xu Changnian swept his gaze across everyone. They all understood what was about to happen. If they still didn't express their stance, anyone might face misfortune. It was precisely because of this that they all felt troubled and didn't even know how to cope.
"Peak Master! Yun Lang has merits, not faults!"
"Exactly, she shouldn't be punished."
"We should all see reality clearly."
Everyone stepped forward to speak for Yun Lang because they knew what had happened back then. If Yun Lang were to be in danger while protecting their Taichu Sect, wouldn't that be even worse? It was precisely for this reason that they all understood the matter was not that simple. If trouble arose in the future, it would certainly not be up to them to decide.
"Good!"
"Then it depends on Peak Master Xu's attitude."
Everyone looked at Xu Changnian. As long as he compromised, Wang Ba's words would be useless.
"Peak Master Xu, Peak Jiang became a blood demon, posing a threat to our sect and others," Elder Chen said. "I believe Yun Lang eliminating him was her responsibility to our Taichu Sect."
"Exactly..."
Seeing Elder Chen speak, the other peak masters nodded. Even Su Xin and others agreed with Elder Chen's words. When they had dealt with Peak Jiang, their attitude was the same, otherwise, their purpose would not have been achieved.
"Since that is the case, then we have nothing more to say," Xu Changnian sighed. He would not forget the death of Peak Jiang. However, with so many people speaking for Yun Lang, he couldn't act even if he wanted to. Moreover, everyone's opinions differed. How to resolve it was their problem. "Forget it. Since it's like this, there's no need to say more. What Yun Lang did was definitely for the sake of our Taichu Sect."
"This..."
Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected even Xu Changnian to say so, especially Wang Ba next to him, who almost dropped his jaw.
"How could this be?" After all, he wanted to use Peak Jiang's matter to utterly defeat Yun Lang. But unexpectedly, every excuse he had could allow her to succeed. It couldn't help but make them uneasy. If it continued like this, perhaps they would never be able to deal with her.
"Damn it!" Wang Ba roared. He turned and left the scene. The remaining peak masters, seeing that the situation was more or less settled, didn't argue further. They all walked out. They were, after all, sensible people and knew how to handle the current situation. If real problems arose, it would be troublesome for everyone, not just them.
"Scoundrel, Deacon Wang has been too arrogant recently."
"Let him be. Perhaps his son's death has made him a bit upset," Qi Yun sighed. However, they didn't pay much attention. The Taichu Sect disciples successfully killed a demon lord during this secret realm journey, which was also a gain for them. Furthermore, they had obtained a master like Yun Lang, making them happy. Some were even envious. If Yun Lang had been under their tutelage back then, it would have been an honor for them. Unfortunately, Lin Ruoxue had snatched the opportunity first, which was unbearable. It couldn't help but make them suspicious. If trouble arose, for whatever reason, someone would step forward. However, unfortunately, even with preparation, they might still face trouble.
"Alright, now there's nothing for you to do. You can go back and rest," Xu Changnian said.
"Yes!" The disciples cupped their fists. They then left together.
"Damn it, what's going on with that Deacon Wang?"
"It seems like he's deliberately targeting Yun Lang."
"I say, Yun Lang, you wouldn't have really killed Wang Long, would you?" Han Weiguo asked. Because the other party's attitude explained the problem. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have done so many things. They were all smart people and could see how the other party should act. If trouble arose in the future, it certainly wouldn't be something they could clarify.
"I believe Yun Lang, he wouldn't do such a thing," Xie Qiye guaranteed. When the incident occurred, Xie Qiye had spoken with Yun Lang. Upon learning that Yun Lang was indeed not the murderer of Wang Long, they all understood. If it were related to him, the outcome wouldn't be like this.
"What's the situation?" Su Xin asked, confused. He hadn't paid attention to these matters before, but hearing Wang Ba mention it now, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Yun Lang's strength is more than enough to deal with a demon lord. Would he let go of that useless Li Jun?"
"This..."
Everyone gasped. The news was brought back by Li Jun. If that were the case, then Wang Long's death had nothing to do with Yun Lang. However, Li Jun, it was unclear what happened.
"You mean, Li Jun he..."
"Exactly, I suspect Li Jun caused this," Xie Qiye nodded. Yun Lang had explained it vaguely at the time. If it were truly his doing, it would benefit no one. Moreover, they all knew clearly that if Yun Lang were to deal with Wang Long, why would he let Li Jun go? With Yun Lang's strength, killing and silencing would be an easy matter.
"This..."
All eyes fell on Yun Lang.
