"You mean the Demon Venerable was never wrong?!"
Jing Lingzi gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Yu, his voice icy.
He had realized that Bai Yu was even more arrogant than that old bastard from back then!
"I wouldn't dare say whether he was wrong or not. But do you believe my master was wrong back then?"
"As a foremost Confucian scholar and a foremost cultivator, I don't believe you failed to see the situation clearly."
Bai Yu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. The Demon Venerable had never needed to scheme for territory as he did. Ever since Bai Yu had accepted the inheritance, nearly everyone he had encountered had been problematic. Whether it was the Desire God Palace, the Void Kingdom, or the Dragon-Subduing Dynasty, the Evil Emperor's shadow lay behind them all.
So, was the Mystic Immortal Dynasty truly without problems?
Bai Yu did not dare guarantee it, but as a foremost Confucian scholar, Jing Lingzi certainly knew. He simply had no way to change it!
"Hehe, questioning my conscience?!"
"Boy, you've got some nerve, playing a game against a foremost Confucian scholar?"
"If you can persuade this stubborn old fool, it's not impossible for this old man to help you."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Zhuge Danxuan and Xu You were both stunned for a moment, then assumed the expression of people watching a good show.
The Mystic Immortal Dynasty predated their era by far, and the two of them knew something of its affairs.
Back then, the Mystic Immortal Dynasty had been invaded by the Evil Emperor. Half of its ministers and officials were affected, plunging that once-terrifying superpower into chaos.
Jing Lingzi led his forty-eight disciples to set right what had gone astray. He used harsh laws and benevolent governance to uphold that crumbling dynasty.
