Chapter 273: The Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Art
At those words, Yu Xiongbatian, sitting at the head of the golden throne, furrowed his brow.
The Second Deputy Leader immediately hurried to explain, "The Celestial River Blade Sect not only refuses to join our Alliance Under Heaven, they have even been letting their disciples bully and kill members of the factions that are part of our alliance."
"The Fifth could not stand by and watch. He went personally to seek justice for those who had been killed and humiliated, and departed for the Celestial River Blade Sect in Qing Province several days ago with a group of capable alliance members."
At those words, Yu Xiongbatian gave a small nod, "That Celestial River Blade Sect was obstinate and unwilling to join the Alliance Under Heaven, and this old man never pressed them for it."
"But now the sect has apparently taken to bullying and slaughtering the factions that have joined our alliance. The Fifth handled that well. Our Alliance Under Heaven must uphold justice, otherwise all the other factions that have joined us will feel let down."
At those words, the other eleven Deputy Leaders in the meeting hall, including the Second, all nodded in unison.
"The Fifth is a once-in-a-century martial prodigy of the entire martial world. Young as he is, he already stands above all others among us, and beyond that, his sense of righteousness and his chivalrous spirit have earned him the deep admiration of every faction and sect within the alliance."
The Second Deputy Leader smiled pleasantly and elaborated, adding to Yu Xiongbatian's words with a thorough round of praise for the Fifth Deputy Leader.
Though there was a slight element of exaggeration in it, most of it was genuinely true.
