Take a Beating, Stand at Attention!

"Sect Master Wu, this is no trivial matter. It is not something one or two disciples can bear.

What the Ancient Immortal Sect wants is the Azure Sword Sect's attitude, not a perfunctory response."

Xu Qing's tone was calm.

A flicker of anger flashed through Wu Ming's eyes.

But it was immediately replaced by deep apprehension.

He knew full well that although the Ancient Immortal Sect had little strength now, a great figure still stood behind them.

Wu Ming forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. A complicated smile curled across his lips, carrying both unwillingness and helplessness.

"The envoy is right. The Azure Sword Sect will thoroughly investigate this matter and give the Ancient Immortal Sect a satisfactory answer.

However, there may be a deeper misunderstanding behind this matter. My Azure Sword Sect is willing to investigate the truth alongside the Ancient Immortal Sect and clear the world's name."

After saying that, he lightly flicked his sleeve, and a faint fragrance of tea instantly filled the hall.

He had specifically ordered it prepared to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Envoy, having traveled so far, why not first sample our Azure Sword Sect's Jian Xin Tea? This tea is harvested from the peak of Sword Peak and contains the essence of sword intent. It is greatly beneficial to cultivation."

Xu Qing nodded slightly, accepted the teacup, and took a light sip. He closed his eyes to savor it before opening them and praising, "It truly is fine tea. Sword intent blends with the fragrance of tea, creating a unique flavor.

Unfortunately, this sword intent contains not the slightest trace of chivalry or righteousness. It is instead rather cold and grim."

Wu Ming's expression changed abruptly. Is this going to end or not?

"Envoy, it seems today's matter cannot be settled peacefully.
