Clear Understanding
Shi Yue's expression turned cold. "Hmph. If you have evidence, then show it. Stop putting on airs in front of me. I haven't even brought up what your Nine Immortal Sect did! You sent two Void Refining Cultivators to follow me, killed my spirit beast, and destroyed my magic treasure. I nearly died at the hands of the Void Refining Cultivators you sent. I haven't settled that score with you yet!"
Anyone could smear someone's name. Since the Nine Immortal Sect had resorted to such despicable tactics, he naturally wasn't going to show its people any courtesy.
Besides, if the Nine Immortal Sect hadn't sent two Void Refining Cultivators, Yin'er wouldn't have been inexplicably captured.
Fortunately, Yin'er was safe. Otherwise, Shi Yue wouldn't have let the people of the Nine Immortal Sect off lightly.
Hearing this, Qu Zhiyang immediately spoke up for Shi Yue. "Fellow Daoist, your Nine Immortal Sect sent two Void Refining Cultivators to follow Shopkeeper Li? They even injured him, hoping to pin the blame on the Qu Family, Yihua Palace, the Ning Family, and the Myriad Law Sect? Or were they trying to capture Shopkeeper Li and extort a ransom?"
Qu Zhiyang's words set the Nine Immortal Sect against the Qu Family and the other powers.
Exactly! If people from the Nine Immortal Sect captured or killed Shi Yue, wouldn't the Qu Family, Yihua Palace, and Myriad Law Sect end up taking the blame? The Nine Immortal Sect's decision to send Void Refining Cultivators to follow Shi Yue was a malicious move.
The officials managing Immortal Grass Market Town all turned to look at the Nine Immortal Sect, their gazes unfriendly.
"Absurd! Our people from the Nine Immortal Sect would never do such a thing. We didn't send anyone to follow Young Friend Shi.
