Chapter 975: Where Is the Justice in That?
Shen Zong naturally didn't believe Qiu Baiyi's words.
After all, Ye Guan had no enmity with the Parting Sorrows Sect. Why would he kill someone from the Parting Sorrows Sect?
Moreover, Ye Guan had once formed a good relationship with someone from the Parting Sorrows Sect. Shen Zong was convinced that Shen Ze's death had to have been orchestrated by the Second Hall Master.
However, Shen Zong knew he had to feign ignorance. Whether it was Ye Guan or the Second Hall Master, they weren't people the Parting Sorrows Sect could afford to provoke.
Feigning ignorance was the only way to survive here.
The reason Shen Zong led a massive group here wasn't to avenge Shen Ze but to claim the Scroll of Parting Sorrows. He pretended to be on the Second Hall Master's side to delay time.
Turning around, Shen Zong stared deeply at the distant starry sky before leading his people away. Unbeknownst to him, the scroll flashed briefly with a dim light.

Qiu Baiyi chuckled softly and turned around to leave upon seeing that Shen Zong and his group were no longer around.
