Highsage Wudi raised his head and spoke to Arch-Elder Zen. "Lu Yin is a disciple of my Eversky Island, and he has the status of a disciple despite not being under the Highsage Grandmaster."

Arch-Elder Zen was clearly amused.

Below, Bu Laoweng respectfully spoke up as well. "I also ask that Arch-Elder Zen make a decision. Lu Yin is suspected of betraying our Fifth Mainland, and it has now been discovered that he cultivates death energy, which means that he might become a puppet manipulated by the Specter Clan. This junior wished to use my privilege as an overseer, but my life was threatened by Senior Wudi. Thus, I now ask Arch-Elder Zen to make a decision."

Nightking Zheng also seized this opportunity to speak up. "Please, Arch-Elder Zen, do step forward for us. The lives of us overseers have been threatened."

Xin Jiao and the other three overseers remained silent.

Highsage Wudi grew angry and glared at Bu Laoweng. "Who threatened your lives?"

Neither Bu Laoweng nor Nightking Zheng responded.

At this time, it would be completely inappropriate for a junior like Lu Yin to speak up or say anything at all, so he silently waited for Arch-Elder Zen’s decision.

Arch-Elder Zen waved a hand. "This is nothing more than a farce, so just disperse."

The crowd was stunned. Disperse? That was too easy!

Highsage Wudi was overjoyed. "Thank you, Arch-Elder Zen."

Bu Laoweng was reluctant to accept...
