Most of the monks in Arhat Hall knew that Xuan Ming had gone to Shengjing City to demand an explanation from Su Xin, but they had not tried to stop him.
Abbot Xuan Ku had to put stability first for the sake of Shaolin Temple's interests. But Jue Yan had been a member of Arhat Hall, and Su Xin had killed him. The monks of Arhat Hall could not swallow that humiliation.
So when Xuan Ming acted, he was doing exactly what they wanted.
At that moment, however, Su Xin had no idea that Xuan Ming was on his way to Shengjing City.
With the Kunlun Secret Realm expedition over, Shengjing City seemed to have quieted down considerably.
The princes and the nobles of Great Zhou had all settled down. None of them dared cause trouble anymore, which had greatly eased the workload of the Shengjing City Six Fan Sect.
The Kunlun Secret Realm had thoroughly crippled the princes, including Ji Yancheng. Their subordinates had been almost entirely wiped out, leaving them with only their personal eunuchs for protection.
The other nobles of Great Zhou were behaving themselves, too.
Duke of Zheng and Marquis of Longhua had taken part in the struggle over the heir to the throne, which had already crossed the Emperor's bottom line.
If they did not keep a lower profile, Ji Haodian would probably make an example of them next.
The other nobles had also been thoroughly frightened by Ji Haodian. They dared not do anything else that might cross him.
So Su Xin had been enjoying a relatively easy time lately. He simply left the affairs of the Shengjing City Six Fan Sect to Tie Shi and the other Chief Constables.
After all, Shengjing City was only one city, no matter how large it was.
