Chapter 112 - 107 The Informer
"Absurd!" The Sect Leader’s heart bristled, and he harshly reprimanded with a stern voice.
He glanced swiftly towards the crowd below, the murmuring voices growing increasingly intense. The Sect Leader’s complexion darkened in an instant as he coldly said, "Take my Token and go find the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. All disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall, move out immediately to maintain order. If I hear any more of this nonsense, the entire Law Enforcement Hall needn’t exist anymore."
The disciple was about to take the Token.
Ling Tian Sword Master barely smiled, but snatched the Token away in one swift motion.
"Ling Tian, what do you mean by this?" The Sect Leader said with anger in his voice.
Ling Tian Sword Master said, "The results of the draw were just revealed, yet how is it that someone knew of the outcome ten minutes prior? Shouldn’t the pressing matter be to conduct a thorough investigation first? The magnitude of the competition in mystic arts is so great, if someone is reaching their hands into this matter, what fairness can there still be in the Divine Martial Sect? Going forward, how can you, Master Zhang, command respect?"
The Sect Leader coldly said, "The possible outcomes of the draw are but a few, that person was merely trying to attract attention, babbling randomly. Now that the result matches, it can only be described as a coincidence. Should we really make a grand fuss investigating for such an attention-seeker? Then our Divine Martial Sect truly becomes a joke!"
"Sect Leader, you are mistaken," Fire Flame Venerable also spoke up, "Regardless of whether this person is spouting nonsense, it has already caused a very bad influence among the disciples. If we suppress it by force, how can we convince the public? From now on, there will always be rumors of underhanded dealings within the Divine Martial Sect! The best course of action now is to investigate openly, to clear things up so everyone sees the truth! This is the only way to silence all discussions."
The Sect Leader’s face took on a slightly stern expression: "How do you propose we investigate then?"
"Quite simple," Ling Tian Sword Master raised an eyebrow; "If there’s foul play, it must be that the drawing box has been tampered with. By examining the slips inside, we’ll know."
