[The Interception Sect shows partiality.] [May be recorded as Calamity Resistance.]
When those two lines of gray-white spectral text emerged, the echoes of the three bell tolls before Kunlun Mountain's Mountain Gate had yet to fade.
White Crane Boy lay prostrate on the cold stone, his broken-winged manifestation dissolving little by little.
None of the Jade Emptiness disciples dared help him up.
In the direction of Golden Turtle Island, the heat the Ten Thousand Immortals had just settled in their chests was brutally crushed again by those two lines.
Partiality.
Calamity Resistance.
Once those two terms were linked, their entire meaning changed.
The Interception Sect had protected Zhao Xuan because someone from Yuxu Palace had sealed his brush and injured him, then followed with a killing move.
Yet the Remnant List's gray shadow took only the word "Partiality."
It did not record that White Crane Boy had struck first.
It did not record the blood on Zhao Xuan's wrist.
It did not record the three bell tolls before Jade Emptiness's Mountain Gate.
It meant to write the Interception Sect's protection of its own disciple into a crime of Calamity Resistance.
Several Outer Sect disciples suddenly began breathing harder.
The spirits they had only just lifted were pressed halfway down again.
They were not afraid to fight.
They feared that whatever they did, it would ultimately be written down as wrong.
Holy Mother Jinling's hand returned to her sword hilt.
The anger in Bi Xiao's eyes had yet to fade. Hearing those two lines, she actually laughed.
"Partiality?"
"If our Interception Sect doesn't protect its own, are we supposed to wait for you to kill them?"
Holy Mother Guiling stepped forward.
"Calamity Resistance?"
"Whoever first tried to kill someone before Golden Turtle Island knows perfectly well what they did!"
