Martial Master

When Ji Ru Yue opened her mouth, Xu Yan and the others immediately froze, their expressions turning awkward. They had just received shocking news and momentarily forgot that You Qian Xue was recommended by Ji Ru Yue.

Ji Ru Yue was the niece of the Commander, and talking like this really disrespected her. If Ji Ru Yue felt wronged, it would be them who ended up in trouble.

Xu Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Ru Yue, we didn't mean to target you. It's just that this matter is too significant, so we must treat it with caution."

"Being cautious is one thing, but is there really a need to be so suspicious?" Ji Ru Yue pouted, "Especially this Fengyun Sword Emperor who says Qin Chen has the strength to slay their Demon Sword Sect's Sword Emperor. I'm well aware of this matter; this young man indeed possesses extraordinary talent. He once fought with me during the Demon Sword inheritance and was able to draw with me at that time. Now that he has broken through, slaying a Martial Emperor or two shouldn't be impossible."

"But that is now. At that time, before he entered the Demon Sword inheritance and had not yet received the inheritance to boost his strength, he was merely at the peak of the early seventh stage, right? At most, he was at the mid seventh stage. To say that he had Martial Emperor strength back then and could injure Captain Chi Lian, I don't believe it."

"As for You Qian Xue, there's even less to say. My aunt has also tested her talent and strength. Although her talent is astonishing, in terms of strength, she's currently only close to an early eighth stage Martial Emperor. To say she had the strength of an eighth stage Martial Emperor before entering the Demon Sword inheritance, does everyone think we're fools?"

Ji Ru Yue smiled lightly, appearing uninterested.

Qin Chen's earlier tactic of feigning weakness during the Demon Sword inheritance had indeed worked.

"You do have a point."

Xu Yan and the others were taken aback upon hearing this, and their hostility visibly decreased.

Since Ji Ru Yue had stated that Qin Chen wouldn't have had the strength of an eighth stage Martial Emperor at that time, there must be truth to it.

After all, Ji Ru Yue was a peerless talent from a hidden family in the Martial Domain, currently the top genius in the Law Enforcement Hall. Her insights far exceeded those of many Martial Emperor experts, so she couldn't possibly be wrong.

"This esteemed one, don't be fooled by this fellow. At that time during the Demon Sword inheritance, he might have been hiding his strength. This person is cunning and treacherous; the young lady could have easily been deceived." The Fengyun Sword Emperor hurriedly interjected.

Seeing that the Law Enforcement Hall members were about to believe him, he was anxious to the point of almost spewing fire. If this girl managed to clear Qin Chen and You Qian Xue of suspicion in just two or three remarks, it would be them who ended up in trouble.

"Are you doubting my judgment?" Ji Ru Yue's expression darkened.

"That's not what I meant. I just think that Qin Chen is so cunning that he might have deceived the young lady. Besides, the young lady is the one who recommended You Qian Xue, so she is inherently involved. She shouldn't have the right to speak on this matter. Or perhaps, when Captain Chi Lian was attacked, it might have something to do with the young lady as well. You all are a group." The Fengyun Sword Emperor gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't know Ji Ru Yue's identity. She appeared so young, likely just a regular member of the Law Enforcement Hall, and at most, had some special status. In a moment of life and death, he didn't care to slander Ji Ru Yue.

However, he did not expect that his words would lead to such a huge backlash. The entire venue fell silent, and the Law Enforcement Hall members looked at him with furious expressions.

"Bold."

"Impudent."

"Do you dare to slander Miss Ji? Seeking death?"

Many members of the Law Enforcement Hall were infuriated.

Damn, this guy actually dared to say anything, claiming that Miss Ji and You Qian Xue were in cahoots and had attacked Captain Chi Lian together.
