Upon hearing Ancestor Ximen's words, Sunx Baiyang, Xuan Nan and others wanted to retort.
But their previous full-mouthed righteousness and morality now felt somewhat hollow, and they couldn't bring themselves to say it.
Such upstanding words could fool the young novice entering the worldly society, but Ancestor Ximen was nearly a hundred years old. The number of bridges he must have crossed is probably greater than the roads they have traveled. To rebut with such declarations seemed truly hypocritical.
Moreover, this was a deserted wilderness, with no outsiders around—who were they to make "upright and stern" speeches to?
In the end, the outcome still had to be decided with fists.
The victor would be king, and the defeated the outlaw—whichever fist was stronger would seize the right to speak!
Master Puhong saw the scene turning somewhat awkward and recited another Buddhist chant.
