Chapter 1394 Going to court?
Soon, Xiao Yi and his group entered a magnificent palace.
Inside the main hall, thirty or forty elders from the Scarlet Sky Pavilion stood in two rows, each of them exuding the domineering aura of a cultivator.
It can be said that any one of them can establish a considerable sect.
When the elders saw Xiao Yi and his companions, they all turned sideways and bowed.
"This...is no different from going to court."
Xiao Yi was a little dazed. The only thing missing from the first place was the dragon throne.
Fang Xing'an led Xiao Yi and the other two through the crowd and came to the front where the great elder sat.
"Mr. Leng/Mr. Xiao."
Qu Chengye, Cui Chen and other elders all greeted them.
This night was a bit long for both parties.
Qu Chengye's side is still arguing over whether to save Wang Yan. Some people insist on giving him up, while others say they want to protect him.
Most people on Cui Chen's side were very excited because this matter could suppress the other camp to a great extent.
You know, they have been struggling to find a suitable opportunity to achieve their goals recently, so this is exactly what they want.
Also, judging from how polite the Pavilion Master was to Xiao Yi yesterday, this matter will definitely be dealt with severely and strictly, so, they don't need to do anything today and just wait and watch the show.
Even if it can only reach Wu Zhen in the end, it is enough. The impact will be far-reaching. The other camp will no longer have any qualifications to resist them in a short period of time!
After a round of greetings, everyone returned to their seats.
Soon, Pang Wenhua appeared.
Then, behind him, an old man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a domineering aura slowly walked out. It was the head of Chixiao Pavilion, Sima Cheng!
Xiao Yi looked at Sima Cheng with a flash in his eyes. Even though the other party did not release any aura, that sense of majesty was real and extraordinary!
Even he felt a ripple in his heart. It was undeniable that this was the strongest existence he had ever seen in the ancient martial arts world!
Soon, Sima Cheng came up with light steps, and Pang Wenhua followed respectfully behind him.
"See the Pavilion Master!"
Inside the hall, many elders knelt on one knee, cheered in unison, and lowered their heads, extremely excited.
The same goes for several great elders. Even Qu Chengye and Cui Chen only see Sima Cheng once or twice a year.
Of course, even so, Sima Cheng knew everything about the sect and the entire ancient martial arts world.
"Junior greets Pavilion Master Sima."
Leng Wenxuan bowed and clasped his hands, quite respectfully.
"Wenxuan."
Sima Cheng smiled, responded, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi looked at Sima Cheng. It was amazing that besides the endless majesty, this Pavilion Master also had a certain peace.
Similarly, Sima Cheng was also looking at him, and a hint of disbelief flashed across his brows.
"I never thought that the Heavenly King who protects China would be so young."
Sima Cheng did not hide the fact that he knew Xiao Yi's identity, nor did he intend to hide it.
Xiao Yi frowned, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was not difficult to understand.
Leng Wenxuan, who was standing by, heard it so clearly that his eyes almost popped out of his head. What the hell?
Who? Xiao Yi?
The famous guardian of China, King Zhentian?
"Chixiao Pavilion Master Sima Cheng greets the Heavenly King."
Sima Cheng faced Xiao Yi and clasped his fists.
"Master Sima."
Xiao Yi also bowed in return, neither humble nor arrogant, and with a dignified demeanor.
However, he did not expect the meeting to be like this. Sima Cheng was much more approachable than he had imagined.
Come to think of it, the more such a ceiling exists, the less he needs to pretend, just like his master, who always looks unkempt.
Leng Wenxuan stood there in a daze. He wanted to speak, but felt it was inappropriate, so he swallowed it back for the time being.
He even wondered whether he should bow and greet Xiao Yi again.
As for Qu Chengye and Cui Chen who were kneeling on the ground, they were still confused until Sima Cheng shouted the second time. They finally confirmed that Xiao Yi was the King of Heaven, and their faces changed!
In Qu Chengye's eyes, he had guessed that Xiao Yi had an official identity, but he did not expect that he would be the King of Heaven!
He didn't dare to look up. Thinking about what happened yesterday, he felt even more stressed and didn't know how to face Xiao Yi.
Cui Chen glanced at Xiao Yi out of the corner of his eye, and was much more shocked than Qu Chengye. After all, he had never thought about it in this way.
"Xiao..."
Leng Wenxuan couldn't help but open his mouth.
Xiao Wan, who was standing aside, was feeling quite proud. How about this? Now you know how powerful my brother is?
"It seems that you don't know either, haha."
Sima Cheng noticed Leng Wenxuan's expression and said.
"This guy doesn't..."
Leng Wenxuan was about to continue, but then he felt that the title was a little wrong.
"We can still be what we are. With your personality, there won't be any distance between us, right?"
Xiao Yi smiled.
Leng Wenxuan scratched his head and thought about what happened yesterday. He felt fortunate that he did not have a big fight with Xiao Yi.
In fact, his surprise came from the fact that after getting to know Xiao Yi better, he felt a sense of admiration from the bottom of his heart, and it was not just for his identity as the 'King of Heaven'.
"The Heavenly King..."
Sima Cheng spoke again.
"Master Sima, please call me by my name."
Xiao Yi interrupted.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I know everything that happened yesterday, and today, I will give you a satisfactory answer.
The reason I didn't show up is because there are some things that need to be clarified, and you will understand it in a moment."
Sima Cheng explained.
"it is good."
Xiao Yi nodded without thinking much.
In fact, deep down, he was a little surprised by Sima Cheng's attitude towards him.
After all, he killed Wei Zhen. Could it be that Sima Cheng would not pursue the matter at all and would cooperate with him like this just because he knew his identity?
After all, this person is a ceiling-level existence in the ancient martial arts world, so it shouldn't be like this.
He was a little confused about this...
Inside the hall, all the elders were still kneeling on the ground, all equally shocked and puzzled. Why was the Pavilion Master so polite to Xiao Yi?
"Everyone, get up."
Sima Cheng glanced around and said loudly.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Qu Chengye and others stood up one after another, but the expressions of many great elders were extremely complicated.
Afterwards, Sima Cheng returned to the first seat, while Xiao Yi and Leng Wenxuan sat on the seats on both sides.
Noticing Sima Cheng's gaze, Pang Wenhua nodded and looked at Qu Chengye, who waved to the back row.
Soon, Guan Jing and Wang Yan were brought up.
"I've met the Pavilion Master!"
Wang Yan and the other man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sima Cheng.
At this moment, Wu Zhen also knelt on the ground.
"Elder Wu, what do you mean?"
Sima Cheng asked.
"Pavilion Master, I... dare not lie to you. I was the one who told Wang Yan that Wei Zhen was killed by Xiao Yi."
Wu Zhen admitted it, but he knew he couldn't hide it.
This was the result of everyone's discussion last night. They were determined to protect Wang Yan, even if it meant paying a price for it, so Wu Zhen was mentally prepared.
"Master, all the responsibilities should be borne by me alone!"
Guan Jing mustered up the courage to say.
"Take it all on yourself? Just by yourself?"
Sima Cheng's tone changed.
Upon seeing this, Guan Jing quickly fell to the ground, not daring to breathe.
He was filled with regret, not for revenge for his master, but for attacking Xiao Wan, so he wanted to use his death to reduce some of the negative impact on Qu Chengye's side...
