Chapter 1122 - 743: Demon Monarch’s Tribunal

Chapter 1122: Chapter 743: Demon Monarch’s Tribunal

The deeper implications were well understood by all the True Masters present.

Three hundred years ago, the Wan Hai Demon Monarch was able to severely injure True Monarch Liuyun, who was in the Sword Infant Realm.

For him, dealing with Spirit Sword True Monarch, who was also in the Sword Infant Realm, was easier and more assured.

This was precisely the fundamental reason for True Master Zhi Yi’s uncontrollable rage.

The Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s actions clearly targeted the weaker ones!

In his eyes, his own master, a dignified Sword Infant, was less intimidating than True Master Profound Ice, who had not yet condensed a Nascent Soul!

However, such thoughts could only be understood and not expressed.

True Master Ling Xiao had taken out the letter of accusation to show to everyone and discuss, which was at the behest of Spirit Sword True Monarch.

After entering the Nascent Soul Realm, without absolute certainty, few High Tier Cultivators would willingly initiate a war and fight to the death.

Spirit Sword True Monarch was unwilling to directly face the Wan Hai Demon Monarch, as the risks were too great.

Otherwise, he could have easily issued an edict to declare war.

There was no need to go through such great lengths to gather all the True Masters here for discussion.

The hall fell silent.

"Junior Brother Zhi Yi, please calm down."

True Master Ling Xiao glanced over everyone: "Does any of the senior and junior brothers have any insights on this matter?"

At the forefront, True Masters Celestial Wind and Celestial Thunder were meditating with eyes closed, not moving a muscle.

The others were even less willing to speak up.

The issue was caused by True Master Profound Ice, no doubt about it.

However, in the Cultivation Realm, the iron rule was that strength was paramount.

Who among those present had the right to criticize True Master Profound Ice’s actions?

Sometimes, there was no need for words.

Even a single glance could invite disaster upon a clan.

They were not just True Pill True Masters.

Behind them were intricate and intertwined families, fellow students, and bloodlines.

A single stir could affect the whole situation.

True Master Ling Xiao sighed internally and had to call upon someone.

"Junior Sister Cold Jade, what do you think?"

All eyes instantly focused on that serene figure.

True Master Cold Jade’s expression remained unchanged, her voice calm: "The Wan Hai Demon Monarch is a great Nascent Soul cultivator, wielding authority over a sect and commanding respect in an area. Regarding this matter, I dare not speak lightly."

True Master Ling Xiao forced a smile and straightforwardly stated, "Could I trouble Junior Sister Cold Jade to make a trip to Starlight Island and invite Junior Brother Profound Ice to discuss this matter, if possible?"

As the Sect Leader, he appeared to be prestigious, but he was actually walking on thin ice.

Merely a puppet positioned before Spirit Sword True Monarch.

The sect’s major affairs, he had little decision-making power.

Now, the Wan Hai Demon Monarch had sent a letter of accusation and stated conditions.

Spirit Sword True Monarch naturally hoped that True Master Profound Ice would take the responsibility.

This way, he and the Cyan Cloud Sect would not be implicated.

However, due to dignity, Spirit Sword True Monarch could not openly say this.

Thus, it was up to him, as Sect Leader, to implement this.

True Master Cold Jade slightly lowered her long lashes and pondered for a moment.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother is overpraising me."

True Master Cold Jade slowly began, "This is a major sect matter, and it should be made known to Profound Ice. I shall set off for Starlight Island today."

As her words fell, the tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased.

True Master Celestial Wind seemed to awaken at this moment, solemnly cupping his hands in salute: "Junior Sister, thank you for your trouble."

True Master Celestial Thunder also slowly nodded: "This is very good."

Opposite, True Master Gu Feng looked at Cold Jade’s tense face and suddenly smiled lightly.

The smile carried sympathy, relief, and even a touch of appreciation.

True Master Cold Jade stood up, slightly bowed to everyone in the hall, and directly walked out of the True Master Discussion Hall.

...

Several days later, at Starlight Island’s Cold Ice Cave.

Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan prepared a feast to welcome True Master Cold Jade.

Registered Disciple Lin Yueying stood quietly to the side, gracefully pouring tea.

After listening to Cold Jade recount the words of accusation from the Wan Hai Demon Monarch, Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

"I was wondering why that old demon was so patient, having not made any moves. Turns out he went to intimidate Senior Brother Spirit Sword."

True Master Cold Jade was displeased, sternly admonishing, "Profound Ice, do not underestimate the enemy! This demon has a notorious reputation. Three hundred years ago, I personally witnessed True Monarch Liuyun of the Divine Sword Sect being defeated by him."

Shen Xuan restrained his smile: "I have also heard of this. Can Master please elaborate?"

At that time, Cold Jade was at Foundation Establishment Perfection, not having formed a True Pill.

She accompanied the coalition of Song Country in the expedition.

From afar, she saw True Monarch Liuyun and the Wan Hai Demon Monarch fiercely battling high in the sky for quite some time.

In the end, True Monarch Liuyun let out a startling cry and fled back to his own formation.

The Wan Hai Demon Monarch, riding a Nine Netherworld Corpse Dragon, commanded an army of hundreds of thousands of corpses to sweep over.

In that battle, Song Country’s coalition was defeated over a span of a thousand miles.

The Wan Hai Demon Monarch’s infamous name shook the four directions.
