"There's nothing bad about it."
Zhou Zhiren said indifferently, "Ten years ago, a tragedy already occurred at the North Sea. I don't want to see a second tragedy. Do you want to see Xie Zhen meet with disaster at the South Border?"
"... It shouldn't come to that."
The Guest Elder felt awkward, muttered a couple of words, and silently sat down.
Ten years ago.
Before the Sealing Mountain decision of Da Sui Sword Palace was made.
The elders of various peaks were quarreling incessantly over Xie Xuanyi's matter.
