I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

After hearing this logical analysis, the clan sword masters fell silent. Although they felt reluctant, they had to agree with Dian Jiuzhi's point of view. However, they found it difficult to accept that the Floating Island and the Imperial Cave would take advantage of their misfortune and rob them.

"Alas... In that case, let's do as you say!" Qingxin Sword Master sighed helplessly, then stood up and shouted loudly: "If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame us for being rude!"

"The coming of the Lord of Huangji Cave and the Lord of Floating Island was indeed arranged by the Sword Master before his death. I can testify to this!"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji and Ye Daozhi simultaneously turned their gazes towards the Sword Master Qingxin, their lips curled up unconsciously. With the testimony of the Sword Master Qingxin, a highly respected clan member, the next matter would naturally be much easier.

"You're talking nonsense! Do you know how the Sword Master died? He was killed by the resentful old woman. You were not there at the time. Many people saw it with their own eyes!" The Great Elder mocked mercilessly, his face full of anger and disdain.

"Hehe... Great Elder, you're right. I wasn't there at the time. But before the Sword Master died, he did pass on a message to me, telling me to prevent Divine Sword Mountain from falling into chaos and to have Huang Taiji and Ye Daozhi help support Jiuzhi until he becomes the true master of Divine Sword Mountain."

"You..." The Great Elder's face turned red with anger. He wanted to refute something, but was forced to hold it back.

"You are talking pure nonsense! The Sword Master is a powerful man who is half a step away from becoming a master. Since he was killed by the resentful woman, how could we allow him to pass on the message?" The Great Elder still did not give up and continued to question.

"Grand Elder, you said it yourself, the Sword Master has already glimpsed the power of a half-step master. How can we guess the power of a master? In the desperate situation where you know you are going to die, trying your best to convey a message, isn't it... impossible?!" The Sword Master Qingxin retorted sharply, speaking to the Great Elder word by word, his tone becoming increasingly heavier, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force.

The Great Elder was suddenly speechless and trembling with anger.

He knew in his heart that what the Qingxin Sword Master said was nonsense, but he had no way of proving whether it was true or not.

In this situation, as long as it couldn't be disproven, the truth of the matter became less important. In short, he could no longer use Dian Jiuzhi's collusion with foreign tribes and betrayal of Shenjian Mountain as an excuse to prevent him from ascending to power.

"Master Jingxin Sword is absolutely right. Brother Jingnie's death was too unexpected. Who would have thought that he would offend the Wrathful Lady, and even more so that the Wrathful Lady was so powerful that she killed Brother Jingnie in the blink of an eye. Speaking of which, we are also deeply ashamed. The incident happened suddenly, and in a panic we were unable to explain the specific situation clearly. At that time, the two of us did see a ray of light flying out when he was dying. I think that is the news that Master Jingxin Sword said!" As he spoke, Huang Taiji looked at Ye Daozhi, who understood and nodded slightly.

Seeing that the matter was basically settled, the Great Elder and the elders behind him looked as if they had eaten a fly. They had originally gathered together to represent the interests of Divine Sword Mountain, but now they had ended up like this. They couldn't help but worry about the difficult days ahead.

"Damn it... This little bastard actually dared to join forces with these two old guys to plot against me! Why didn't I think of getting rid of him directly!" The Great Elder gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with fierce murderous intent, staring at Dian Jiuzhi and the Qingxin Sword Master beside him.

In truth, it wasn't that he hadn't considered this initially; rather, the situation at the time simply didn't allow for much thought. Upon hearing the news that the Pure Nirvana Sword Master had been murdered by the Wrathful Po, everyone's initial reaction was disbelief. That was the Pure Nirvana Sword Master, a peerless powerhouse who possessed a glimmer of the power of domination. How could he have died so easily? However, as more and more people confirmed the news, as the saying goes, "three people make a tiger"—even if it was initially false, it would eventually become believed, especially since it was already true. Furthermore, the expressions of terror on the faces of Huang Taiji and Ye Daozhi, two leaders of the eighth-level factions, who even immediately ordered a retreat, only solidified everyone's belief. By then, the entire Divine Sword Mountain was plunged into utter panic, confusion, and bewilderment. Even the Great Elder was not spared. How could they have foreseen the current situation?
