Qi Xian suddenly stepped forward, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Even the Golden Immortals above the great hall were startled for a moment before all eyes turned to this junior.
Upon seeing Qi Xian's serious expression, along with Li Shan's tightly furrowed brows opposite him, the sect elders who were somewhat aware of recent events all grasped the situation to some extent.
Sure enough, Qi Xian slightly adjusted his sleeves, then clasped his hands and said, "Although I am an agent under the Emperor's Mansion, I am also a junior within the sect. Now the Bodhi Sect has gone too far, and the Great Freedom Bodhisattva shows no respect for age. This matter requires the elders to negotiate, but the domain that my sect's fellow disciples have painstakingly defended cannot be surrendered in vain."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi's previously calm demeanor shifted dramatically, his body slightly leaning forward, a shadow passed through his eyes.
