Chapter 1041 - Taking Control of the Situation
If anyone else had stepped forward to question, people likely wouldn't have taken their words seriously.
However, Shi Yuan was no ordinary person. He was an elder of the Spirit Jade Pavilion, highly regarded by the Pavilion Master. The other elders and guests had to take his words seriously.
Long Chen frowned upon hearing Shi Yuan's words. He couldn't understand why Shi Yuan had decided to interfere.
The accusation clearly put the Heavenly Dao Society at a disadvantage. If the accusation stuck, the Pavilion would immediately expel the Heavenly Dao Society from the plaza.
Everyone in the Heavenly Dao Society glared at Shi Yuan, especially the alchemists. They knew better than anyone that they had refined the pill.
"Heavenly Dao Society, aren't you going to explain yourselves?" another elder from the Spirit Jade Pavilion stepped forward, asking for clarification.
"Fabricating charges requires no justification," Xu Yilin replied.
His words made his meaning clear: Shi Yuan was falsely accusing them.
Just then, the Communication Talisman in Tian Xing's clothes lit up, and the messages that came in darkened his expression. The news was grim for them.
"Wuxie, Elder Qin has been reassigned elsewhere," Tian Xing reported.
As the head of the Law-Enforcement Hall, Tian Xing was also responsible for gathering intelligence. But the message had come too abruptly.
