It seemed unexpected to find that the opponent was such a young and extraordinarily beautiful woman; the righteous sideâs intended loud assertiveness suddenly diminished.
"Is this the Demon Sect Leader? We were the ones who discovered the Cold Pond Snow Lotus first. Itâs all about first come, first served. Isnât it unethical for your Demon Sect to come and take a share now?"
Gu Shengyin looked at the speaker, and the system provided information in her mind: a short description, a Vice Sect Leader of a Second-Rate Sect.
A character with just a brief introduction seemed to be merely cannon fodder.
Gu Shengyin looked at him, her face devoid of the smile she had shown Zhu Yue earlier, and spoke: "Ethics? In terms of location, this Blue Water Cold Pond is our Demon Sectâs territory. You all came here without my, the masterâs, permission. Is this supposed ethics?"
The man was immediately rendered speechless.
Zhu Yue found her voice cold and clear, even more pleasant than the sound of jade stones clashing.
He couldnât help but marvel that there existed such a person with flawless elegance, neglecting the debate between the two.
The righteous side saw their leader deep in thought, seemingly with other considerations, and held back their words, waiting for Zhu Yue to speak.
However, Gu Shengyin spoke: "You are all itinerant people, and some things are known by everyone. At times like this, letâs not talk about ethics..."
When she mentioned ethics, her face clearly displayed sarcasm, and anyone could hear her mocking tone.
"These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should be occupied by the capable. Let strength speak; talking wonât solve the problem."
This was outright mockery.
"Alliance hierarch, this Demon Sect Leader is indeed..." The man originally wanted to accuse her of going too far and to ask the leader for judgment.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Yue spoke up: "The Sect Leader is quite right. We shall speak through our strength."
He gave a distant respectful gesture towards Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyinâs expression softened a bit: "Is this Zhu Yue, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader? I have heard Martial Arts Alliance Leader is the foremost in Central Plains Martial World. Someday, I will surely visit for a lesson."
This was indeed a martial arts enthusiast.
Zhu Yue smiled and returned the gesture: "I dare not claim to be the foremost in Central Plains Martial World, but if the Sect Leader visits, Zhu Yue will surely welcome you warmly."
The people on the Central Plains Martial World side were utterly baffled.
What is this development? Arenât the Central Plains and Demon Sect supposed to be mortal enemies? Why does the Alliance Leader seem to chat so happily with the Sect Leader?
Could this be the Alliance Leaderâs special strategy?
The more everyone thought about it, the more it seemed that way.
Unbeknownst to them, the Central Plains Martial World people were surprised; the Demon Sect followers were even more shocked.
Was that person the Sect Leader? Speaking so calmly with the people of Central Plains Martial World?
Isnât the Sect Leader most disdainful of those incessantly chattering martial artists?
Also, if they werenât mistaken, the Sect Leader had smiled earlier?
The Sect Leader actually smiled!
Wait, they looked at the legendary Martial Arts Alliance Leader Zhu Yue.
Hmm, a graceful brow flying into his temples, starry eyes spirited, a full forehead, red lips and white teeth, he was indeed a top-class handsome man.
Could it be that the Sect Leader is enamored with this boyâs beauty?
The elders following behind the palanquin pondered carefully and found that there truly was no male beauty in the Demon Sect overshadowing the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
They quietly felt that they seemed to have uncovered something quite surprising.
