Linyuan Supreme's expression turned cold upon hearing this, but he chose not to elaborate.
He smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, “Everyone, please be quiet. Today, our Linyuan Sacred Gate has a distinguished guest. Let’s not tarnish the dignity of Linyuan Sacred Gate.”
The other elders fell silent, but their expressions still showed lingering anger.
After his words, Linyuan Supreme clasped his hands toward Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen, stating, “Since both of you are unwilling to elaborate, then I won’t press further. As the saying goes, ‘The guest is the host,’ I apologize for my earlier abruptness.”
Linyuan Supreme spoke with a smile and a carefree demeanor, garnering quiet admiration from those around.
Qin Chen merely smiled faintly, choosing not to say much. If Linyuan Supreme wanted to continue pretending to be a good person, he could go ahead; Qin Chen was simply curious about his true intentions.
Linyuan Supreme then turned and looked at Elder Ancestor Wu Peak and his group.
“Senior Ancestor Wu Peak, you have brought many experts from Shihen Imperial Sect to visit our Linyuan Sacred Gate today. It truly brings honor to our Linyuan Sacred Gate. However, I am unaware of the reason behind your visit. Why have you personally come to Linyuan Sacred Gate?” Linyuan Supreme asked with a smile.
“Of course, it is regarding the death of our Shihen Imperial Sect’s prince,” Elder Ancestor Wu Peak shot a cold glance at Sikong Zhen and continued, “Our Shihen Imperial Sect’s prince was recently killed by wicked men in the Dark Ancestor Land. Not only that, many leaders of our law enforcement team met a tragic fate at the hands of traitors. Our sect master was furious and sent me here personally to discuss this matter.”
“Oh? The prince of Shihen was killed in the Dark Ancestor Land? It is said that he is the most outstanding peerless genius of the Shihen Imperial Sect in recent years. At such a young age, he has already reached the half-step supreme expert level and had high hopes of inheriting the legacy of the Shihen Imperial Sect. How could he meet such a tragic end? Who would dare to do such a thing to the prince?” Linyuan Supreme expressed shock, showing an ‘incredulous’ expression.
Beside him, Sikong Zhen sneered; Linyuan Supreme was truly adept at acting. As one of the three great powers of the Black Jade Continent, how could he not be aware of the events concerning the prince?
“That’s right.” Elder Ancestor Wu Peak nodded, glancing at Linyuan Supreme.
Anyone with eyes could see that Linyuan Supreme could not possibly be unaware of what had happened in the Dark Ancestor Land.
However, he did not say much more and continued to clasp his hands, “Our Black Jade Continent is a forward base established by the Dark Clan in this universe, traditionally governed peacefully by our three great powers. Now that someone has torn the face off the situation, breached the promises, and committed acts of violence in the Dark Ancestor Land, killing our prince from the Shihen Imperial Sect—this is already too much. I have also heard that some people have been running amok in the Dark Ancestor Land, wantonly destroying the Blood Grave and even intruding into the most forbidden areas deep within the Dark Ancestor Land.”
Elder Ancestor Wu Peak's voice turned cold, “Linyuan Supreme, as one of the leaders of our three great powers, how can you tolerate such rule-breakers?”
Linyuan Supreme nodded, “If such things are true, I will of course impose strict punishment. However, I have been in seclusion these past few days and am hearing about this for the first time. I ask Senior Ancestor Wu Peak and the Shihen Imperial Sect to be patient. Once I verify the truth, I will certainly make a statement.”
In other words, he said nothing.
Elder Ancestor Wu Peak smiled, “Of course, this is just one of the purposes of my visit today. I have a second purpose for coming as well.”
“Please, go ahead.” Linyuan Supreme replied with a smile.
