"No disciple of Qingshan Sect should be killed just like that!” The Senior Elder shook his fist. "Anybody who kills a disciple of Qingshan Sect has to pay the price!"
"Men!" shouted the Senior Elder. "Surround the place where Elder Luo Feng and the rest are staying. I'm going to ask them personally what they mean by this!
"Yes, Senior Elder!"
All the Portico disciples in the hall went to carry out his orders.
All the other elders had grim looks on their faces. The Senior Elder's words were representative of the Qingshan Sect's stance on this matter.
Liu Chuandao had purposely asked the Senior Elder for this very purpose.
The Senior Elder's stance was the most important.
He was the sect leader, but he wasn't the one who could call all the shots in
Qingshan Sect.
"Jiang Ning, what lousy foresight you have! You thought that Mr Zhang wouldn't be the murderer, but look at what happened in the end!” Liu Zong scoffed coldly and mocked Jiang Ning. "He ended up admitting that he killed Luo Heng! What a slap in the face!"
His expression was filled with iciness and mocking as he looked indignantly at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning had all the attention earlier and seemed so convincing, but now he was getting his just desserts.
Zhang Heng was determined to make Jiang Ning embarrass himself even at his own expense.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything when he heard these sarcastic words. He just smiled and continued drinking his tea, because he couldn't be bothered to stoop to the same level as this childish fellow.
Arguing with him was an insult to his
intelligence.
Liu Chuandao had heard what his son said, and the disappointment in his eyes was even greater now.
The others might not know, but Liu Chuandao knew that if Jiang Ning hadn't done all this, Zhang Heng wouldn't have admitted his wrongdoing.
But of course, this wasn't really an admission from Zhang Heng, but a ploy by Jiang Ning to force him to confess. There was no chance for him to explain anything or defend himself.
