“Feeling guilty?” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave a faint smile, continuing: “In any case, today’s events are too suspicious. I hope everyone can think calmly. Why did rumors start yesterday that I had found the Holy See’s opportunity, yet today it’s said that I’ve committed murder? Isn’t that coincidental?”

“If our Heavenly Sword Sect truly acted, would we be so foolish as to leave bloody letters pointing to the culprit? After all, we are a top-tier sect, and even those smaller sects would not make such a grave mistake.”

Other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect chimed in, while the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect, who had been infuriated before, had not thought that much. Now, calming down, he couldn’t deny that the Heavenly Sword Sect’s words were reasonable. Indeed, it was abnormal to leave bloody letters.

However, since all of this was mere speculation, he couldn’t just dismiss his suspicions due to a few words from the other party. Unless the Heavenly Sword Sect presented evidence, he had to explain to the disciples of his sect. If he, as the Sect Leader, did not seek justice, he would surely lose credibility.

Seeing the other party’s expression change, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect breathed a sigh of relief: “If the Heavenly Sword Sect really wanted to kill, considering our decades-long grudges, it wouldn’t stop at just over a dozen deaths. Probably, hundreds of your sect’s members would disappear quietly. It’s clear that outsiders want to stir up conflict.”

“Sect Leader, after my examination of the bloody letters and the wounds on the bodies, none of the dozen or so victims had any warning. This implies that the perpetrator is either someone familiar or someone who caught them off guard. The bloody letters are too suspicious. After all, if it was the Heavenly Sword Sect, they wouldn’t be taken by surprise.”

Since it was a surprise attack, it was decidedly unlikely that they would leave bloody letters. Moreover, they and the Heavenly Sword Sect were sworn enemies. The disciples of both sects confronted each other with fierce glares whenever they met, itching to start a fight straight away. If someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect had gone there, the victims would have been on guard. Even if they couldn’t win, there would have been signs of struggle, and the noise of the fight would have attracted other people’s attention.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Saint Sect had a far-off look, eventually sighing deeply: “But if it isn’t the doing of the Heavenly Sword Sect, how do we track down the culprit? We owe an explanation to the thousands of disciples in our sect, otherwise their morale might suffer.”

Even if it wasn’t done by the Heavenly Sword Sect, he couldn’t clear their name. If the perpetrator couldn’t be found, the blame would undoubtedly fall onto the Heavenly Sword Sect, or else the disciples of his sect would be dissatisfied. If even he, the Sect Leader, couldn’t avenge his disciples, where would his authority stand?

“I suspect it was the Flying Flow Sect. They’ve never gotten along with us, always being at the bottom among the six major sects. We often bully them, so it’s reasonable that they harbor resentment.”

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect knew the other party’s thoughts. To clear himself of suspicion, he had to pin everything on the Flying Flow Sect. Moreover, this wasn’t baseless accusations. He did suspect them extremely. Even without any evidence, perhaps it was an intuition.

The others also chimed in: “I agree too. The people of the Flying Flow Sect are always kind, putting up with bullying without retaliating ever. They must harbor deep hatred for us. Sects like this always have deep-seated resentment.”

“That’s absolutely right. I saw with my own eyes how people from the Flying Flow Sect were wandering around the camp. Perhaps they’re planning something. They calmly killed a dozen people and left, and it wasn’t until the next day that we discovered it. They are definitely familiar with the camp. It seems they are indubitably connected to the Flying Flow Sect.”

“Indeed, to kill without a trace, unless it’s done by someone from the Heavenly Saint Sect itself, unless there’s deep hatred, who would willingly attack a dozen disciples from their own sect? So it’s definitely an outsider, one hundred percent!”

Manager Johnson of the Heavenly Saint Sect turned pale when he realized that the conversation had reached this point. Fortunately, no further investigation was made. He was the insider. It was his ruthless swing of the blade that had killed several people. A few had left without any guard up at all, recognizing him as a steward of their sect.

Seeing everyone discussing and incessantly blaming the Flying Flow Sect, the elders of the Flying Flow Sect grew angry: “We shouldn’t make baseless speculations without evidence. The Flying Flow Sect is definitely innocent.”

“You must be responsible for what you say. Although we of the Flying Flow Sect usually avoid controversy, it doesn’t mean we’re willing to take the blame. Among the six major sects, even if we are at the bottom, how much stronger are you? If you want to continue slandering us today, the Flying Flow Sect won’t let you off easily.”

Every disciple of the Flying Flow Sect wore a dark expression. Initially, they had been here just to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, they were involved because of a casual remark from the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“If it’s not you, Flying Flow Sect, then show the evidence!” A bystander sneered. Now that everyone suspects you, mere words won’t be enough to bluff your way out. After all, the dozen or so people were really killed in a mysterious way, certainly by someone from the camp.

The people of the Flying Flow Sect were speechless, they retorted: “It wasn’t us. We don’t even know what happened, how would we have evidence? You suspect us, shouldn’t you be the ones presenting the evidence first?”

At this time, the leaders of the remaining major sects hurried over. Upon hearing the matter, the Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect was the first to lose his temper. He had come to mediate the dispute between the Heavenly Sword Sect, but how did things suddenly land on him?

“Nonsense, the Heavenly Sword Sect is despicable, trying to clear themselves by slandering others, right?” The Sect Leader of the Flying Flow Sect clenched his teeth in rage. What did it mean for the other party to direct the fire of the Heavenly Saint Sect at him? He was clearly unrelated to the matter, this was indeed despicable.

Was it because they thought the Heavenly Saint Sect was a hard opponent, while the Flying Flow Sect always withdrew from competition, thinking they didn’t have a temper? If they thought so, they would be greatly mistaken. The consequences of their anger were unforeseeable to anyone. The reason why the Flying Flow Sect always refrained from competition was just that they didn’t want to witness a bloodbath.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect coughed, appearing somewhat guilty, and said: “It’s just a suspicion, not necessarily deciding it was you. In any case, the culprit is definitely one of the six major sects. Since we are all here, we might as well find out the ins and outs of the matter. That way, we can clear ourselves of suspicion.”
