Chapter 971: Conscience
The matter of the Great Liang frontier army crushing the demon race vanguard in the northern frontier, and incidentally killing that Great General Liu Xiang, quickly spread across the world. In fact, even before the official military report reached the Divine Capital, it was already known to all.
The first to learn of the news were naturally the various cultivation sects in Xinliu Prefecture, which was closest. At the Mountains and Rivers Sect, Daoist Zhanyuan looked at the report sent up the mountain, his emotions mixed.
At his side, Grotto Heaven Sage, who had been in seclusion and had now come out, said with a cheerful smile, “Well fought.”
Daoist Zhanyuan looked at his Martial Uncle Grotto Heaven, hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, “Martial Uncle, can we reconsider this matter?”
Grotto Heaven Sage was still barefoot. Hearing this, he raised his foot, as if to kick his martial nephew, but halfway through, he still withdrew it.
Daoist Zhanyuan gave a dry laugh. “Martial Uncle, at your age, you should rein in your temper.”
Grotto Heaven Sage sneered, “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re the mountain lord and I’m giving you some face, you wouldn’t be able to dodge this kick no matter what.”
Daoist Zhanyuan did not dare speak, only muttering inwardly - back then, when that Lord Warden Commander came up the mountain, didn’t your elderly self say you would just kick him if you wanted to kick him? At that time, you didn’t say anything about giving me face.
Grotto Heaven Sage glanced at Daoist Zhanyuan, clearly knowing what he was thinking, and narrowed his eyes. “You brat didn’t even treat my disciple like a person. If Your Father kicks you, do you have any objections?”
