Due to the commotion raised by Jing Liu, several Supreme Elders who had been in seclusion were forced to come out, and the Peak Masters of all the peaks were also summoned. In front of the Supreme Elders, Xuanwei did not dare to openly pressure Yang Yao.
As the sect leader, Yang Yao explained the ins and outs of the matter to the several Supreme Elders. Although his account seemed fair and just, it actually still favored Jing Liu and the others. Xuanwei detected the subtle shift in wording, but there was nothing he could do.
Xuanwei knew he was in the wrong regarding the incident with Zhao Yu and Yun Shuo, yet he could not openly shield this grand-disciple in front of everyone. Secretly, he resented Zhao Yu for lacking competence—even a sneak attack had managed to get exposed and brought disgrace upon him—while also mentally logging a debt against Jing Liu.
