NOVEL WEB Chapter 473 Assassination!_3
"And the people of the three cities under your command, who did not need to die, were forcibly sacrificed by you; this is the burden of sin you bear!"
At this point, Elder Ling's tone was complex as he said, "But in the end, your weight is insufficient..."
Marquis Wangxi fell silent.
"The Guardian Righteous Dao Sect is willing to shelter you because, as a Human Martial Saint, you weigh more than two million ordinary people!"
Elder Ling said solemnly, "Now the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect is unwilling to protect you because the Saint Master insists on killing you! And the Saint Master weighs more than you!"
Marquis Wangxi paused, then said, "So, if the Saint Master is willing to spare me, everything will be resolved? Or... the Saint Master is dead!"
"No one can kill the Saint Master in Heavenly Destiny City!"
Elder Ling shook his head and said, "And the Saint Master cannot forgive you... This conferment has no fate with you; leave Heavenly Destiny City!"
As his voice fell, Elder Ling said, "You are destined not to be a member of the Supreme Pavilion, which is our way of respecting the Saint Master! But as a Human Martial Saint, we also do not wish for you to be sacrificed because of the Saint Master's likes and dislikes. So you may go..."
Marquis Wangxi pondered, "If I leave, can I live? Will the Saint Master no longer wish to kill me?"
"Zhou Baihu is a man of righteousness."
Elder Ling said, "He understands the bigger picture better than the Saint Master! He will take all grievances and discontent to bring this matter to an end..."
"Without Zhou Baihu's testimony, and without left evidence."
"Without conclusive evidence, you can't be convicted."
"According to the laws of the Holy Alliance, even if taken down for examination, you would be acquitted!"
"Without evidence, acting without justification, the Saint Master would be committing an indiscriminate killing if he tried to kill you again!"
"The Saint Master no longer has a reason to kill you."
Listening to these words, a look of joy appeared in Marquis Wangxi's eyes.
But Elder Ling waved his hand and said, "But you still cannot be conferred as a Supreme Elder!"
"Why? He already has no reason to kill me!"
"We need the Saint Master's New Technique and the Saint Master's support for the Holy Alliance; thus, we need to appease the Saint Master... and you being removed from the Supreme Pavilion is a concession to the Saint Master."
"Cannot be altered?"
"Cannot be altered!"
"..."
Marquis Wangxi paused, then said, "Fine, I will leave Heavenly Destiny City today!"
"Wait a moment, the conferment ceremony is about to begin."
Elder Ling said, "Wait for the Saint Master to attend, then leave Heavenly Destiny City... Even if he suddenly intends to secretly intercept and kill you, it will be too late! After the conferment ceremony, appease the Saint Master, and you will have escaped this calamity!"
After saying this, Elder Ling stood up and said, "As a member of the Supreme Pavilion, I should attend the conferment ceremony, so I'm leaving..."
Marquis Wangxi slightly closed his eyes and finally sighed softly.
After all his efforts, the so-called Saint Master intervened unexpectedly, costing him his spot as Supreme Elder.
Yet upon careful thought, the title of Supreme Elder was just that—a title.
The cultivation of a Human Martial Saint is the true foundation!
With his talent, even if he aged through his life, he could only remain at the level of Creation.
This time, regardless of the outcome, being able to step into a realm originally inaccessible in his life is also a form of Perfection.
Human Martial Saint!
The final realm of mortal cultivators!
Standing at the peak of the mortal world!
Touching the realm of Immortal Gods!
Even if not a Supreme Elder, as a Human Martial Saint, he is still enough to be remembered in history!
"All of this... is ultimately worth it..."
Marquis Wangxi whispered softly.
And the next moment, a cold voice came from behind him.
"But I feel unworthy for those more than two million innocent people."
