The Nascent Soul True Immortal who had asked the question was extremely displeased, but there was nothing he could do about it.
You Xuan could not help asking, "Then can you explain why you disrupted the heavenly secrets?"
"Because there are too many things that seem true but aren't," Liu Xingyu answered solemnly. He even dared to fool Elder Lian Yunfei, so telling a few lies came easily to him. "It would be easy for someone to make an issue out of them, but the man is already dead... Why throw East City into chaos?"
"What kind of attitude is that?" The Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage cultivator flared up. "A Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage cultivator died. If you don't investigate it thoroughly, do you think East City won't descend into chaos?"
"East City was already a complete mess because he came here," Liu Xingyu declared solemnly. "If he hadn't come, the Golden Core cultivators of the East City Branch would not have slaughtered one another, nor would anyone have tried to assassinate the Spirit Plant Path's honored guest. Now that he is dead, the matter is over... and all is peaceful under heaven."
"You..." The Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage cultivator was so furious that smoke practically came out of his nostrils. "Are the branch's True Immortals not True Immortals, then?"
"I never said that," Liu Xingyu replied solemnly. "Duanmu Guzhu did tell me, however, that a mere guest elder like me was not even worthy to carry his shoes... Sigh, heaven sends rain upon the arrogant, and calamity upon the reckless."
No one could be sure whether he had embellished his words, but there was no doubt that his status was indeed somewhat awkward.
Another True Immortal from the branch spoke up. He was at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
