In the mainland, Emperor Ning He and Jing Qiong fought for a long time. Under Ning He's fierce attack, Jing Qiong's spiritual power gradually weakened and was about to be swallowed up.
Jingqiong had almost no other consciousness and was running around with only his survival instinct.
Emperor Ning He was about to avenge himself, and even saying a word seemed to take up time. He chased after him and finally swallowed up Jing Qiong's soul.
It was a blessing in disguise that his soul had grown in strength.
Seeing that he had not shown up for a long time, the Supreme Master of the Xiao Dynasty personally sent a message to this continent, "Who destroyed its order and killed its creatures? Why don't you apologize quickly?"
When Emperor Ning He was in comfort, his eyes sharpened when he heard the sound. He raised his sleeves to withdraw the source of the plague that had spread between the heaven and the earth, broke out of the void, and swept across the venerables in the void.
"I am the Emperor Ninghe of Nanjiang. I have caused heavy losses to this continent because of my pursuit of the enemy who exterminated my clan. I am extremely sorry. I will not shirk responsibility and will ask the Tiandao Alliance to judge!"
The Master Xiaoshi and Master Xiaocheng felt heavy in their chests for this fight, and they couldn't get up or down. Well, before they could accuse him, he had already told the Tiandao Alliance to make the decision.
Considering that he had the title of emperor, was from the Nanjia tribe, and that four to five out of ten of those who died were not Jiuxiao Palace monks, it was really hard for Jiuxiao Palace to punish him privately.
If it is not handled well, it will become entangled with the Nanga clan and the masters and disciples of those dead monks. It is better to let the Tiandao Alliance deal with it.
However, this continent was destroyed and Jiuxiao Palace suffered heavy losses. Even if the Tiandao Alliance comes to investigate, they will put pressure on the Tiandao Alliance and make them pay the price they deserve!
Some people admired his courage to take the initiative and strike first. Besides, rather than falling into the hands of Lord Xiaoshi and facing an unknown fate, it would be better to let the Tiandao Alliance decide and delay for some time.
Hearing that something happened again in the Jingxu Realm, Universal Spiritual Emperor came over personally, accompanied by Emperor Bai.
Emperor Bai stayed behind to conduct a thorough investigation, and Emperor Universal Spirit took Emperor Ning He away first, glancing at Zhan Changfeng before leaving.
Zhan Changfeng didn't deliberately make a good disguise. If the quasi-sage looked carefully, he would be able to see something wrong.
Lord Xiaoshi also noticed Zhan Changfeng because of the Universal Spiritual Emperor, and said in a deep voice, "This is the fellow Taoist who saved many monks in times of crisis. Why don't you go to Jiuxiao Palace to talk about it."
Knowing that he was suspicious, Zhan Changfeng responded, "Your Majesty invites me, and I dare not refuse."
Xiao Cheng also invited Venerable Hengfang and Ji Chaoyue to stay temporarily. They knew what happened best and had to give an explanation.
After arriving at Jiuxiao Palace, Zhan Changfeng first went to see Master Xiaoshi.
Xiaoshi Shangzun said calmly, "The Immortal Emperor is so interested that he even changed his appearance to attend the Linglong Meeting."
"It's not that I know I'm at the forefront of the limelight and want to be disliked, so I want to keep a low profile." Zhan Changfeng explained calmly.
"Oh..." Lord Xiaoshi's tone was full of doubts, "I left and came back. Why do I think it's not that simple? Could it be that I used Jiuxiao Palace as a target and deliberately used the consignment Nanga? Are you trying to lure someone out?!"
"Your Majesty was joking. When we consigned Jingqiong, Taiyi had already told you everything about Jingqiong. You also knew that selling Jingqiong might cause some trouble. At that time, Taiyi thought that you would take over the deal. You should be able to handle it alone."
Xiaoshi Shangzun was slapped by her frankly, his face turned red and he was slightly angry. Jiuxiao Palace has a certain responsibility for this matter. According to Nanga's danger level, there should have been a venerable person watching the situation secretly. If necessary, he, a quasi-sage, should have taken action in time.
But in Jiuxiao Palace, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi, who were in charge, were seriously injured by her. Xiao Qiong was guarding another important place, and Xiao Cheng was presiding over the discussion meeting.
When the incident happened, Xiaogao was seriously ill, and he happened to go to stabilize Xiaogao's condition. As a result, when Ning He, Hengfang, and Jingqiong started fighting, no one could stop them.
The Supreme Master of Xiaoshi tried to be calm, "Jiuxiao Palace is indeed responsible for poor supervision and should bear half of the responsibility for this incident. However, I am confused. With the power of the Changsheng Emperor, if you want to stop the development of the situation, it will be very easy. But you let it get out of hand, why?"
The reason for his anger was that Zhan Changfeng was clearly at the scene, but did not stop him from the beginning. He was suspected of deliberately harming Jiuxiao Palace.
Zhan Changfeng replied, "At that time, Jingqiong had been sold to the Demonic Master Hengfang and had no relationship with Taiyi. There was a deep hatred between Jingqiong and Emperor Ninghe, so I think that Ninghe and Jingqiong , The battle between Hengfang and Hengfang is a legitimate way to settle grudges. If Jiuxiao Palace thinks they have damaged the building and disrupted the operation of the city, of course it has the right to stop them, but I do not have this right or obligation."
"At this stage, those who accidentally died or were seriously injured because they took the initiative to stay and watch the battle should bear the consequences of their choices. Others have no comment and no reason to seek justice for them."
"When the time came, Emperor Ning He used his bloodline talent that affected the entire continent, causing innocent casualties. Out of concern for life, we can help as much as we can."
"But you can obviously choose to interrupt Emperor Ning He directly."
"Why should I get involved in the karma between Ning He and Jing Qiong, and form a hatred against Ning He?"
Master Xiao Shi's expression was deep, "I didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor would be so rational that he was almost cold."
"Probably, this is also the reason why I can tolerate Jiuxiao Palace's auction of my chief official of the Celestial Dynasty, almost causing his downfall, without expressing my anger."
Master Xiaoshi's expression froze, and he gradually laughed out loud, "Okay, businessmen value profits and sincerity. Thank you Emperor Changsheng for being candid. It turns out that I am suspicious and have gone astray."
"The Jiuxiao Palace's own industry has been wandering on the edge of universal moral values, and it even conflicts with the laws and customs of some star realms. We dare to establish the Jiuxiao Linglong Association and are ready to face doubts and attacks from all parties. , but we don’t think we are wrong.
Such as the two extremely controversial items, auction or sale of living creatures, auction or sale of objects of unknown origin. I personally think that intelligent living beings can be completely responsible for themselves. They themselves agree to be auctioned and sold, so what else can others say.
Let’s talk about things of unknown origin. The law of the jungle prevails in the world. Whatever you get or grab is yours. No one cares who the previous owner was. Unless the previous owner has enough evidence to prove that it belongs to him, others are not qualified to own it. .
But most can't be proven, so why can't we consider the current owner to be the owner? "
The Lord Xiaoshi concluded, "Jiuxiao Palace does not regret the auction of the Wuji Spark. We don't need to know whose hands it was before, we only need to know whose hands it is now. This person comes to the auction and pays a sufficient deposit, and we will accept it.
The only mistake was that for some reason, he deliberately ignored the fellow Taoist who merged with Wuji Spark. "
"The matter of Wuji Spark has passed, and I don't want to talk about it anymore." Zhan Changfeng said, "I disagree with the second point mentioned by the Supreme Being. The process of cultivating the Tao is dangerous and cruel, and the results often vary from person to person. , either for strength, for detachment, or for original intention, I have been working hard for thousands of years, looking for a way that is out of reach.
But when we reach this point, both the Lord and I understand that practicing Taoism also means cultivating the mind of right and wrong, and realize the truth. What I legitimately own is taken away in an unreasonable way. This is robbery. What can be said to be stolen. Is it your own? "
The Lord Xiaoshi did not deny it, "I know this, but the law of the jungle is a reality. Even if they don't have to steal it openly, they can take away your things by 'reasonable' means. Who do you go to complain to?"
"The law of the jungle may be part of the reality, but I do not default to the law of the jungle as my principle. I think the Supreme Master also knows this truth, but the Supreme Master also took a fancy to the word 'profit' and placed himself in the position of 'strong'. Nature happily acknowledges the law of the jungle."
Zhan Changfeng said indifferently, "In addition, I also like to use 'reasonable' means to take back things that have been taken away by 'reasonable' means."
Xiaoshi smiled slightly and said, "I like your clear-cut character. If you and I were born at the same time and discussed the Tao at that time, I might be persuaded by you to give up the idea of the law of the jungle. But now, until there is not enough reality to overturn this, I will not change it."
"Of course, you can do as you wish."
