Free Web NovelChapter 947: Chapter 195: Do You Know?
As the legendary founder of Diao Hai Building once sat here to fish for dragons, the End of the World Platform naturally possesses a certain sacred significance.
Once the Sea Ritual Ceremony had concluded, this place prohibited the approach of any unrelated persons.
In fact, outside of the Sea Ritual, the End of the World Platform was often desolate, with only the fierce wind and bright moon present.
However, this time, due to a casual order from the Fishing Sea Tower Master, Wei Xun, Fishing Sea Tower’s abandoned disciple, Zhu Bijing, remained here with her dying body.
Waiting for that person to return for her, or waiting to die.
Without a doubt, this was the most painful wait.
It was precisely because she had once had a similar experience of waiting to die in that broken Taoist temple outside Maple Forest City, and knew that pain, that Jiang Wang had fought so desperately in the Lost World.
"Without permission, no one is allowed to intrude on the End of the World Platform!"
Two tall Black Armor Warriors stretched their iron arms across, firmly blocking the path of a chubby figure.
Zhongxuan Sheng spread his hands, showing that he had no intention of forcefully intruding, his voice urgent and forceful, "It’s time to release her! Jiang Wang in the Lost World has slain over a hundred commander-level Sea Clan members, and has already completed his redemption; Zhu Bijing is now innocent!!"
The two Black Armor Warriors glanced at each other, obviously uncertain about whether to release the person directly.
At this moment, a voice arose behind them, "Zhongxuan young master, you say the redemption is completed; do you have any proof?"
The speaker was a young cultivator dressed in black brocade robes with golden edges, looking quite proper, about twenty or so, and naturally had an extraordinary air about him.
The two Black Armor Warriors blocking Zhongxuan Sheng stepped aside, showing great respect, "Brother Ji."
The person who had come was Ji Shaoqing, a genius of the Diaohai Building like Xu Yuan, Bao Song, and Yang Liu, frequently discussed as a young prodigy overseas.
Of course, among all the young geniuses of Diao Hai Building, Chen Zhitao was in a league of his own and could no longer be considered on their level. Though a disciple, his status had surpassed many elders long ago. After the establishment of the Seize Sea Alliance, he was like the sun at high noon, already seen as a significant figure rather than a young genius.
Ji Shaoqing’s presence here involved another layer of relationships. He was the direct disciple of the fourth elder of Diaohai Building, Gu Huaixin, and belonged to the same faction as Granny Bizhu...From this, it was not difficult to deduce his attitude.
Previously, Zhongxuan Sheng and others had come to the End of the World Platform several times, only to be blocked by him and they hadn’t even catch a glimpse of Zhu Bijing. The sect rules were strictly held to, demanding impartiality above all.
Though Zhongxuan Sheng and his group had powerful backgrounds, they were ineffective on Huai Island.
Facing Ji Shaoqing’s obstruction once more, before Zhongxuan Sheng could speak, a voice filled with heroic spirit already joined the conversation, "You can see for yourself on the Maritime List!"
It was Lord Hua Ying, Jiang Wuyou, descending in front of the End of the World Platform. freewёbnoνel.com
Following her landing were Li Longchuan, Yan Fu.
Several young figures landed on the stone steps leading to the End of the World Platform. Without much action, just their familial backgrounds alone were already impressively oppressive.
Ji Shaoqing glanced indifferently over these people, then returned his gaze to Jiang Wuyou, "It turns out to be Lord Hua Ying, no wonder there is such a mighty presence!"
He indeed seemed composed.
Jiang Wuyou’s phoenix eyes shifted, fixing on him, "Do you have a grievance against my palace, sir?"
"Not at all." Ji Shaoqing bowed very politely, "However, regarding Jiang Wang’s successful redemption, words alone are hard to take as proof. We shall wait a moment, please allow me to check the Maritime List."
His words sounded pleasant as if he was entirely reasonable. But how long this would take or when he would check was hard to say.
Snap!
Jiang Wuyou casually pulled out a scroll of the Maritime List, "If you seek the truth with your own eyes, look here!"
She stepped forward, standing below the steps of the End of the World Platform yet seeming as though she was the one looking down, "Ji Shaoqing, you aren’t going to tell me you can’t read, are you?"
"The Maritime List is a critical military asset; how can it be casually flaunted?" Ji Shaoqing spoke softly, "Of course, I’m not suggesting that the Lord would fabricate anything. But with the recent establishment of the Seize Sea Alliance and unrest at sea, there are many with ulterior motives. My eyesight is poor, and my experience is limited; I can’t be sure of its authenticity. As a disciple of the Diaohai Building during these troubled times, I must be extra cautious. Please allow me, Lord, to first verify it against the list in the building."
His tone was humble, his voice gentle, and even his expression was polite.
But it was exactly this attitude that made one inwardly seethe with frustration.
Fighting back was not an option unless they came to blows.
But to strike a direct disciple of Diaohai Building at the End of the World Platform was also not a rational choice.
Jiang Wuyou was indeed seething with anger, but considering her status, it was no longer suitable for her to speak. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
So Zhongxuan Sheng spoke again, his face now as grim as water, "Ji Shaoqing. Everything has a limit; this is our fourth time here. Are you sure you still want to stop us? Especially since Jiang Wang has already completed his redemption... are you sure you’ve thought through the consequences?"
"I do not understand what you mean by these words, Sheng young master." Ji Shaoqing’s face even wore a placating smile as he listed the affiliations, "Hua Ying Palace, Zhong Xuan Family, Shimen Li Clan, Bei County Yan Family, right? How prominent! How could I dare to purposely oppose you? But..."
He reined in his smile, his tone shifting, "This is the End of the World Platform, the Diaohai Building’s End of the World Platform. With my responsibilities here, how can Ji dare to be negligent? You say Jiang Wang has completed his redemption; I still must verify. Isn’t that my rightful duty?"
