The Zhennan King's Accountability and the Dali Kingdom's Conditions
The Sect Protection Array also hummed and vibrated from this angry roar.
Ripples spread out, and in some weaker areas, cracks even appeared.
It was clear how much Killing Intent Prince Zhennan's roar carried!
At this moment!
The entire Tianxuan Sect immediately entered a state of war preparedness.
Tens of thousands of Disciples flew on their swords, forming ranks and awaiting orders!
They charged directly towards Prince Zhennan and his group.
...
...
Inside the Inner Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, Shen Fan looked at Mu Jiaxing and Lin Ye, a slight smile on his lips, and spread his hands.
"I will report this matter to the Sect Master and let him decide. Let's go see what's happening first?"
Afterwards, Mu Jiaxing led the Law Enforcement Disciples and left first.
Everyone else followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Lin Ye immediately stepped forward to block Shen Fan: "Kid, don't think your glib tongue can help you escape this crisis. If I don't kill you, I'm not Lin Ye!"
Shen Fan raised an eyebrow lightly and said indifferently: "You should worry about how the Tianxuan Sect will deal with this crisis! If this matter isn't resolved, the Sect Master won't be in the mood to handle this!"
With that, Shen Fan bumped Lin Ye's shoulder and walked straight out.
Prince Zhennan's roar.
It summoned all the Elders from the Outer Sect and all the Elders from the Inner Sect.
Even Xue Qiutian rushed over hurriedly.
All this time, the Cultivators of the Tianxuan Sect had never truly cared about Mortals.
As righteous individuals, who hadn't killed a few people?
If this happened under normal circumstances, it would simply be suppressed.
But now is a time of trouble!
The Great Li Kingdom would absolutely not let this go.
If the Tianxuan Sect even killed the common people of the Great Li Kingdom, how could the Great Li Kingdom trust the Tianxuan Sect and seek assistance from them?
Wasn't that like asking a tiger for its skin?
"So it's Prince Zhennan, long time no see!"
Xue Qiutian rushed over and smiled as he greeted Prince Zhennan.
"Sect Master Xue, you must have heard what I just said!"
Prince Zhennan showed no Face to Xue Qiutian and asked coldly.
"Is there some misunderstanding in all of this?" Xue Qiutian frowned.
He thought to himself: 'It's just a few ants who died! Is there really a need for such a big fuss?'
"Misunderstanding? Sect Master Xue, you call this a misunderstanding?"
Prince Zhennan casually tossed a recording stone into the air.
The next moment!
In front of tens of thousands of Tianxuan Sect Disciples.
The scene of Li Shaobai and others slaughtering civilians in the valley, beheading them and draining their blood, was displayed before everyone.
At this moment!
The sky above the Tianxuan Sect was utterly silent.
Even Xue Qiutian, who had just spoken of a misunderstanding, gradually darkened his expression.
They actually... killed so many people!
"This is a scene of your Sect's Disciples wantonly killing innocents!"
Prince Zhennan said, then with a flick of his hand, he produced the evidence they had gathered.
Corpses lay everywhere in the valley, and dense swarms of flies covered the ground...
After seeing it all.
Prince Zhennan asked coldly: "Sect Master Xue, how do you explain all of this?"
"Currently, our Great Li Kingdom is plagued by internal and external troubles. We placed our hopes on you, asking for your assistance, but what did you do? You wantonly slaughtered the people of our Great Li Kingdom. What difference is there between you and evil Cultivators like the Blood Refinement Sect? How can you expect our billions of people to place their hopes on you?!"
Prince Zhennan's voice was filled with rage.
At this moment, he represented the entire Great Li Kingdom.
"I believe the news has already reached your ears. The Blood Refinement Sect has spread the footage of that time everywhere, and the other three great immortal Sects have also received the news. Sect Master Xue, give us an explanation!"
"Prince Zhennan, please calm your anger. Please come in to discuss!"
With that, Xue Qiutian opened the Sect Protection Array, allowed Prince Zhennan to enter, and then led Prince Zhennan towards the Inner Sect.
...
...
Inside the main hall.
Xue Qiutian thought for a long time but didn't know how to begin explaining.
Explain?
How to explain?
They were the ones who killed them, and the evidence was conclusive. How could he explain?
"Alas!"
A moment later, Xue Qiutian sighed.
"Prince Zhennan, I just received news of this matter, and I am heartbroken!"
"How could our Tianxuan Sect cultivate such Disciples?"
"However, they have all been killed by the Blood Refinement Sect, so I have no way to hand them over for you to deal with!"
"But this matter must ultimately have a solution!"
"Don't worry, our Tianxuan Sect will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"You have come representing the will of the Great Li Kingdom's Emperor. Feel free to propose any conditions; as long as we can fulfill them, we will do our utmost to satisfy them!"
What else could be done?
Of course, he had to admit it!
Behind this matter lay countless hidden crises.
Xue Qiutian knew deeply that the other three great Sects should also be aware.
Their accountability would soon arrive!
Especially since they had just developed the substitute death skull, these vampires would not let the Tianxuan Sect off the hook.
There were also the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect and the Blood Refinement Sect, lurking in the shadows.
They would also seize this opportunity to make a big deal out of it.
The Tianxuan Sect's reputation would significantly decline.
Now, the only way was to stabilize the Great Li Kingdom and have the Great Li Kingdom come forward to defend them; then everything would be easy to resolve!
"Eight thousand people! A full eight thousand people! Every single one was beheaded and bled dry. Sect Master Xue, how exactly do you instruct your Disciples? How can we ever seek your cooperation again in the future?"
Prince Zhennan was heartbroken.
When he heard Xue Qiutian admit defeat, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the incident had occurred, the next step was to negotiate for benefits.
But one couldn't directly state one's demands.
The other party would certainly not agree.
So now, it was time for mutual tug-of-war.
"Yes, yes, yes! I know, it's our fault. As long as it can be compensated, our Tianxuan Sect will definitely cooperate!" Xue Qiutian nodded repeatedly.
But Prince Zhennan did not directly state his conditions.
Otherwise, it would give the impression that he was specifically using the lives of eight thousand common people to blackmail the Tianxuan Sect.
If that happened, and the Tianxuan Sect bit back, the nature of the situation would change!
They were all old geezers who had lived for hundreds of years, full of schemes.
Thus, back and forth, they engaged in a tug-of-war.
Prince Zhennan lamented the current plight of the Great Li Kingdom, with its internal and external troubles.
Xue Qiutian, with a head full of black lines, could only listen attentively.
Who knew how much time passed.
Prince Zhennan's tone shifted: "Alas! Since the incident has already happened, and the lives of over eight thousand people cannot be recovered, the Great Li Kingdom still has billions of people to protect, and the culprits are already dead, so what else can we do?"
"Exactly! The most important thing now is to protect the other common people of the Great Li Kingdom and prevent such incidents from happening again!"
Xue Qiutian responded helplessly.
"Since that's the case, I'll be direct. Our Emperor personally instructed that with the Third Prince's rebellion and the Great Li Kingdom facing internal and external troubles, the Tianxuan Sect must bear some responsibility for this incident. First, you must help us suppress the rebellion and quickly eliminate all the rebels!"
"No problem!"
Xue Qiutian agreed without hesitation.
This matter, without even being asked, Xue Qiutian would have all Tianxuan Sect Disciples dispatched to suppress the rebellion and quell the unrest!
Only then could the Tianxuan Sect's reputation be restored.
"Second, nearly ten thousand common people must all be properly buried, and their surviving relatives from all nine generations, along with their relatives and friends, must all be given appropriate compensation!"
"No problem!"
Mortal wealth, to an immortal Cultivation Sect, was simply not worth mentioning.
"Third!"
At this point, Prince Zhennan closely observed the changes in Xue Qiutian's expression.
"Hand over the Tiger Head Mountain and Tianya Mountain spirit mines within Yunzhou's fourteen cities to our Great Li Kingdom, allowing our Great Li Kingdom to manage them independently!"
"No prob—"
Xue Qiutian blurted out, but stopped halfway through.
"What did you say?" Xue Qiutian frowned.
