JSCMU-Chapter 91: In a World of Great Strife, If One Doesn’t Fight, Then What For?

Today, excluding Zhao Wuji, only four peak masters were present. Now being directly scolded to their faces by Yun Jin, each of their expressions was different.

Lin Ya had a face full of smiles and even looked a bit proud.

Huo Lie and Long Yi were furious.

Fang Mingyue leaned back in her chair, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

“Impudent!” Long Yi shouted angrily. “A mere junior, dares be disrespectful to your elders! Lin Ya, what a good disciple you’ve taught!”

Lin Ya put away his smile and said calmly, “Indeed, my disciple is quite good. What, are you jealous?”

“Jealous? I…” Long Yi exploded with rage.

Yun Jin directly interrupted him: “Peak Master Long, this case is still under trial. You are merely an observer today. Please don’t overstep your bounds.”

Long Yi’s eyes turned red: “Junior, are you lecturing me?”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Yun Jin said calmly. “I only seek justice, an understandable and clear justice. Let me ask, so Ye Danxia can accuse me as she pleases, but I’m not allowed to accuse her? Is it just because she is the Sect Master’s disciple, so everyone else deserves to be falsely accused by her? If the Sect Master, or the Peak Masters, or Hall Master Yue. If any of you say, ‘Yes, that’s exactly right. Anyone not under the Sect Master’s tutelage deserves to be oppressed,’ then I’ll leave immediately, and I won’t pursue today’s matter any further.”

Long Yi’s expression changed slightly.

Although this was the truth.

Still.

Who would dare admit it?

Even as Zhao Wuji’s lapdogs, they still had to maintain their dignity in public!

“If it’s not like that, then I request a retrial. I won’t stop until the truth is revealed,” Yun Jin said calmly.

The hall was silent.

No one dared speak.

Ye Danxia was still kneeling on the floor, her whole body trembling. A deep sense of fear suddenly overcame her.

“Retrial!” From the crowd, Yue Zhao suddenly shouted.

Then it was Si Wanning.

Then Yu Songnian popped out from some unknown corner, and for once, actually made a sound.

Another wave of silence followed.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Wuji’s lips.

So what if Yun Jin spoke with such righteous passion?

So what if those few on Heavenly Sword Peak jumped around?

This Tianxing Sect was his to command. So what?

Would anyone really dare follow them and make a fuss?

Zhao Wuji was just about to speak.

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner.

“Retrial!”

Yun Jin looked over. It was a senior brother she didn’t recognize.

Then.

“Retrial!”

Another voice rang out.

It was an unfamiliar senior sister..

After that, it was like some switch was flipped. Cries for retrial rose up one after another, like crashing waves, building higher and higher, turning into a surging tidal wave.

Yun Jin couldn’t help but smile, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.

Ye Danxia’s case didn’t need to become so complicated.

But.

She wanted to show everyone in Tianxing Sect, again and again, just how despicable Zhao Wuji, the Sect Master, truly was.

They might not be able to do anything to Zhao Wuji for now, but these seeds that have been planted will one day grow into towering trees and reshape a new Tianxing Sect.

In her previous life.

On that night of the demon clan’s attack.

Many disciples of Tianxing Sect swore to fight to the death.

They did not regret dying, because it was the demon clan, they deserved to be killed.

But they never knew, even until death, that the disaster of Tianxing Sect was merely a small twist in the love story of the male and female leads. Zhao Wuji even used it to form ties with the male lead, gaining many benefits later.

The true victims were only those disciples.

They became sacrificial offerings for the great love between the protagonists.

According to the progression of the book, if nothing unexpected happened, that demon lord male lead was about to make his entrance.

She had to bring about some changes within Tianxing Sect before that.

These disciples might be mediocre, but that wasn’t a reason for them to die.

At this moment.

The repeated cries for a retrial also confirmed for Yun Jin that she did not do anything wrong.

She only needed to spark a small flame, and it would burn fiercely, devouring everything.

This wasn’t just her doing. At most, she only repeatedly pushed back against the disciples of the Sect Master, which let many people realize that the authority of the Sect Master was not so unshakable.

So today, they were also willing to follow her and make a small change.

And that was already enough.

Zhao Wuji looked at the chaotic Discipline Hall, his face dark as iron.

Ye Danxia, still kneeling, trembled and didn’t dare say a word.

“Hall Master Yue, what do you say?” Yun Jin smiled. She did not question Zhao Wuji but directly pressured Yue Lin.

The Discipline Hall represented justice and authority within the sect.

Today, either the veil of independence of the Discipline Hall would be ripped off or there would be a fair trial.

Yue Lin’s lips trembled.

Zhao Wuji no longer spoke.

But does Yue Lin dare to respond?

He didn’t dare!

“I also believe that listening to one-sided words is too rash,” a calm voice suddenly rang out. “Since there is dissent, then there should be a retrial.”

That voice.

Everyone instinctively made way.

Elder Ming walked out from the Manual Pavilion he hadn’t left in decades and slowly stepped forward.

Yun Jin didn’t plan for Elder Ming to appear. She couldn’t help but look at the old man in astonishment.

In the book.

Elder Ming never once left the Manual Pavilion from beginning to end.

“Hall Master Yue, do you agree?” Elder Ming slowly approached. Like Yun Jin, he did not look at Zhao Wuji, only at Yue Lin.

Yue Lin’s lips trembled.

Even Elder Ming appeared…

He wanted to glance at Zhao Wuji, but he didn’t dare. Looking now would only give others leverage against him.

But without Zhao Wuji’s approval, how could he dare to answer?

“Elder Ming, you…” Yun Jin was just about to ask.

Suddenly, another voice rang out.

“What? Is that such a hard question to answer?”

Everyone again instinctively parted.

Yun Jin turned and saw Ling Fei with an unfamiliar man.

The man was dressed in white, with two horns clearly protruding from the top of his head.

This was Tianxing Sect’s guardian spirit beast, a spirit beast at late Fusion Stage: the White Feather Dragon!

Such a spirit beast was incredibly proud. For it to appear now, it could only be because of Ling Fei.

Ling Fei winked at Yun Jin, then entered the hall with the White Feather Dragon.

“I am no longer of Tianxing Sect, but Yun Jin is a talent I have high hopes for. I too wish to know the truth of this matter,” Sword Elder also appeared in the main hall, his face calm and smiling.

Two experts at late Fusion Stage, and Elder Ming, whose cultivation was unfathomable…

Unknowingly, Yun Jin already had so many people backing her.

Lin Ya silently shrank back a little.

Emmm…

This made him, her master, look rather useless.

Zhao Wuji could no longer control his expression.

Elder Ming, Ling Fei, Sword Elder. Weren’t they all people who minded their own business and ignored worldly affairs?

Now, for Yun Jin, they were openly interfering in sect matters!

“Elder Ming! You value Yun Jin for her maturity and composure, look at her now! Does she show even a hint of maturity? She has always acted pretentiously in front of you. You really don’t need to stand up for her! Since you came, you must’ve seen her arrogance and aggressive behavior. It’s truly infuriating!” Zhao Wuji couldn’t help but say.

That was, in fact, the truth.

Yun Jin remained silent and didn’t refute it.

Elder Ming glanced at Yun Jin and smiled, “You say this girl is arrogant and aggressive but were her demands unreasonable?”

Yue Zhao, bolding up, said, “Little Junior Sister only asked for a fair retrial. There was nothing excessive about it.”

Elder Ming nodded, then said, “I have lived my whole life tolerating and giving in, and so I ended up as a caretaker of the Manual Pavilion. As for Yun Jin, there’s nothing wrong with her attitude. In a world of great strife, if one does not fight, then what for?”

Zhao Wuji’s lips trembled slightly.

Elder Ming!

You weren’t saying this before!

Aren’t you being far too biased now?
