Chapter 871: Chapter 124 Turbulence_2
And after that, Zhu Bijing was gone, does the overturning of the case really matter that much anymore?
It wasn’t that he insisted on choosing today, but today was indeed the only chance, the best opportunity.
"True Man, please grant your clear judgment," Jiang Wang respectfully requested, without losing decorum, "Jiang Wang’s actions today are not rashness, nor to disrupt the solemnity of the Sea Ritual, but quite the opposite, are to uphold the sacred meaning of the Sea Ritual!"
Chongguang Zhenren looked at him, "It seems you have made up your mind today."
How strong is the oppressive presence of a True Man?
Not everyone may know, but they can all guess.
And people also saw that Jiang Wang was still standing straight,
He calmly and straightforwardly met Chongguang Zhenren’s eyes, "It’s not that my heart is as firm as iron, but where there is justice, I must go. I may not be talented, but I cannot bear to let the Heroic Spirits be shamed!"
Granny Bizhu, standing beside, said annoyedly, "How dignified the True Man is, why waste words on this scoundrel? Why not let this old body take care of it..."
She was going back and forth, aiming to leverage her cultivation against Jiang Wang.
"Chong Zhenren!" Jiang Wuyou, seated in the main seat, stood up with the support of the armrest, "The servants of your Diao Hai Building seem quite clueless. How do I hear that she’s making decisions on your behalf?"
Although the Elder of Real Affairs is regarded as a junior elder, he is definitely not a "servant," which is undoubtedly a humiliation.
"You!" Granny Bizhu was furious.
Chongguang Zhenren raised his hand to silence her, then turned to look at Jiang Wuyou, "The Palace Master of Hua Ying Palace has repeatedly spoken for this man, showing much regard. But this Sea Ritual is not a matter only for my Diao Hai Building. One family can delay, but can tens of thousands? If there is indeed some insider information, it can be discussed after the Sea Ritual is over."
"Clearing the source of trouble, Jueming Island does not think it’s a delay," Qi Xiao said suddenly.
Chongguang Zhenren met her gaze; she sat motionless, expressionless.
The pressure from this stand-off between True Men made people clench their hearts, almost unable to breathe.
The entire place fell into a suffocating silence.
This silence was shattered by a voice that seemed reckless.
"I, Xu Xiangqian, do not feel delayed either!" Suddenly, a man with an oddly high forehead stood up from the crowd, his voice loud and generous, "Where there is justice, not to mention for a moment, even if it takes a lifetime to contend, it is still rightful!"
Given his position and his cultivation, he shouldn’t have the right to speak. Yet who knew there would be such impulsive people on the End of the World Platform today.
Someone whispered, "Who is he?"
"Xu Xiangqian of Qingya Academy!" Before people could whisper out an answer, Xu Xiangqian had already declared his identity, "This is the principle taught to me by my master, Mo Ya!"
This was a big favor owed. Jiang Wang thought.
In such circumstances, to invoke his master, to invoke Qingya Academy, was no small matter. Because of his identity as a direct disciple of the great Confucian, Xu Xiangqian was at this moment truly representing Qingya Academy to some extent!
And he must not have obtained permission beforehand, and was bound to be punished afterward. Otherwise, with so many disciples in the Academy, if everyone could act so rashly, the Academy’s reputation would have long been tarnished.
Almost immediately after Xu Xiangqian’s voice fell, another impressive man stood up.
He wore a jade band around his forehead, his eyebrows sharp and his eyes bright, his voice ringing like metal, "If there is doubt about an unpardonable crime, it is certainly better to clarify it. What’s the harm of a little delay? The path of return for the Heroic Spirits cannot be tainted by wrongful blood!"
The stunning woman beside him did not stand up, nor did she seem particularly excited, but she added in a cold voice, "This is the stance of Binghuang Island."
If Xu Xiangqian was only borrowing the tiger’s might,
Then Li Fengyao and Li Longchuan, the brother and sister, represented Binghuang Island and the Shimen Li Clan in full without question. The weight of their statement was immensely heavy.
Next to Xu Xiangqian, the calm and restrained Yan Fu stood up and cupped his hands, his words polite and cultured, "I, Yan Fu, am speaking only for myself, and do not begrudge this little time. I implore Chong Zhenren to eliminate the malicious spirits and restore a spotless moonlight to the End of the World Platform!"
He couldn’t make decisions for the Yan family, nor could he act impulsively like Xu Xiangqian. But he could at least speak for himself, offering his support.
Tian Chang stood up simply and said only one sentence, "Bajiao Island believes in justice."
And then he sat down just as simply.
Simply said, but the weight of his words was anything but simple.
Bajiao Island is the overseas basis of the Da Ze Tian Clan, along with Chongjia Island as one of the two islands controlled by the Tian family.
The influence of the Da Ze Tian Clan in the Near Sea Archipelago is even stronger than that of the Shimen Li Clan.
"We from Longmen Academy... huh!"
Zi Shu had just jumped up when she was suddenly silenced by Zhao Wuyan’s hand over her mouth.
But since the girl had already made half a sound, Zhao Wuyan had no choice but to carry on, "Longmen Academy disciples Zhao Wuyan and Zi Shu believe that Diao Hai Building will handle the matter properly. We also represent ourselves in hoping for a good outcome."
This statement was neutral, but speaking up at a time like this had already made their position clear.
Xu Xiangqian looked gratefully at Zhao Wuyan, wishing he could hold hands with her on the spot if it weren’t for the crowds. What a considerate woman! How deeply she loved him! Despite her usual indifference, in a critical moment, she supported him unreservedly! Supported his friend!
For a moment, Xu Xiangqian had almost forgotten that Jiang Qingyang, his peer known as ’Gan Ma Mountain’s Twin Pride,’ was still there, seeking a chance.
Chongxuan Xin, who had long been instructed, was certainly not going to fall behind at this moment.
Though he was not particularly powerful or imposing, he rose with the most vigorous motion, nearly leaping to his feet and bellowing, "No Winter Island wishes for justice, not sparing time!"
