Should they save Koo Rok-in?
This was a question worth considering.
After all, he was from Yuzhang City, and he was Ju Wudao's only son.
If Koo Rok-in died, Ju Wudao's bloodline would be completely cut off. This was unacceptable to the Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit and the other sword-bearers of Yuzhang City.
After all, Ju Wudao had died to save the entire Yuzhang City. No one in Yuzhang City would be able to feel at ease if they watched his only son die.
Taking a step back, even if Koo Rok-in died, he should have died in the hands of Yuzhang City.
However, it was almost impossible to save him. Now, all the high-level sword-bearers of Yanjing City were in a state of anger. Unless Guhan planned to kill his way through Yanjing City, how could he save Koo Rok-in?
"Let's talk reason!" Guhan said to the Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit after thinking for a while.
"Reason … What does this have to do with saving Koo Rok-in?" The Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit was a little confused.
"Of course we have to talk reason. Otherwise, do we still want to use force?" Guhan curled his lips. "Whether we save him or not depends on whether we can talk reason with him or not.
If we talk reason with him, even if Yanjing City is unwilling, they have to let him go.
If we don't talk reason with him, even if we both become Jiandi, we can't take Koo Rok-in away by force. Otherwise, we will be the sinners who destroyed the harmony between Yuzhang City and Yanjing City. "
"I understand!"
The Roaring Tiger Sword Spirit nodded, then looked at Guhan with hopeful eyes. "Comrade Guhan, you have the most ideas. Think about how we should talk reason with him."
"The most important thing to talk reason with him is to figure out the whole thing. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious.
If we don't even know what happened at that time, how can we reason with them? "Guhan said calmly.
"I've tried my best, but I've only managed to get this bit of information. No one is willing to tell me what happened at the scene. The Yan Jing City Sword Committee didn't even report the incident to the Sword Committee Headquarters. I can't get any information from the Sword Committee Headquarters. Now, I'm completely in the dark!" The Tiger Roar Sword Spirit said in distress.
"That's nothing. Even if you heard the news, it wouldn't matter."
Guhan shook his head. "The information you obtained must have been passed through several mouths and ears. It must have been processed by different disseminators, so it's impossible for it to be exactly the same as the truth. Even if you obtained the information, it wouldn't be of much use.
We have to find a way to get the most accurate information from the mouths of the people who witnessed the whole situation. "
"Comrade Guhan, are you saying that I should ask Koo Rok-in directly?"
The Tiger Roar Sword Spirit scratched its head. "That's even more difficult, okay? I don't even know where Koo Rok-in is. How am I supposed to ask him?"
"If you don't know where he is, just ask him!"
Guhan smiled. "Don't forget that Koo Rok-in is still a participant in the Octagon Tournament. According to the rules of the tournament, no one is allowed to place any restrictions on the participants of the Octagon Tournament.
Therefore, before the Discipline Commission for Discipline Inspection's verdict, we can openly ask the Yan Jing City Sword Committee for Koo Rok-in. Otherwise, even if this lawsuit is brought to the Sword Committee Headquarters, our chances of winning will be higher.
The day after tomorrow is the Octagon Tournament. We can also openly ask Yan Jing City to return our participants to us. If they don't, then they must give us concrete evidence to prove Koo Rok-in's crimes and let us talk to Koo Rok-in face to face. This is a very reasonable request, and Yan Jing City has no reason to refuse. "
"That being said, what if Yan Jing City doesn't let us see Koo Rok-in?
Facing Sword Immortal Tian Hen's situation, even if Yan Jing City is unwilling, I'm afraid the Octagon Tournament's organizing committee won't stand up for us. "The Tiger Roar Sword Spirit was clearly not as optimistic as Guhan.
"Leave this matter to me. I'll get Yan Jing City's people to let us in!" Although Guhan said it very straightforwardly, he felt a little helpless in his heart.
He didn't want to get involved with Koo Rok-in at all.
This was related to the fact that Koo Rok-in didn't possess the King of Yue's Gou Jian Sword. Guhan didn't have any intention of retaliating. Instead, he felt that this would be very troublesome. If he didn't handle it well, it could cause a fatal crack in the relationship between Yuzhang City and Yan Jing City.
And most importantly, deep in Guhan's heart, he vaguely felt that Koo Rok-in deserved to die.
For the sake of a mere Yuan Kou, he actually caused the death of a human Immortal Sword Tier sword-wielder … The impact of this matter was huge. The power of the human race had been greatly weakened.
More importantly, Sword Immortal Tian Hen was very young. Perhaps he could ascend to the throne in the future. Perhaps Koo Rok-in had caused the death of a future human, Jiandi.
Killing Koo Rok-in's insignificant life was considered a light punishment. If this had happened in the Middle Ages before the Great Calamity, he would have been beheaded and his entire family would have been annihilated along with him.
However, Guhan had to think of a way to save Koo Rok-in's life. Just like what had been said before, Gu Wudao had sacrificed his life for Yuzhang City. Guhan didn't want to see Gu Wudao's bloodline end up in the end.
Therefore, Guhan secretly decided that he had to find a way to find out the truth of the matter. He had to find out what role Koo Rok-in had played in this matter, what he had done, and how much responsibility he had to pay for Sword Immortal Tian Hen's death.
If Sword Immortal Tian Hen's death was indeed because of Koo Rok-in's betrayal, then not only would Guhan not save Koo Rok-in's life, but he would also step on him and send him on his way.
…
That afternoon, Guhan brought Lu Xihua to the entrance of the Yan Jing City Sword Committee and requested to meet with the chairman of the Yan Jing City Sword Committee.
The Yan Jing City Sword Committee was very different from the Yuzhang City Sword Committee. At least in terms of architecture, the Yan Jing City Sword Committee was a level higher than the Yuzhang City Sword Committee.
The Yan Jing City Sword Committee's building was called White Jade Capital. The entire building had no paint, tiles, cement, or any other building materials.
All of the walls had the gentle color of top-grade white jade. When touched, it felt exactly like white jade.
In fact, the entire building was carved out of a huge white jade stone the size of a mountain.
It was said that Kenzu and Ksitigarbha had fought a great battle, and Ksitigarbha had been forced to flee underground.
The two had fought tens of thousands of meters underground.
Although Ksitigarbha had escaped in the end, Kenzu had unexpectedly discovered this huge white jade stone.
When Kenzu ordered people to dig out this huge white jade stone, everyone was shocked.
This was because this huge white jade stone was a thousand meters tall and a thousand meters wide. The entire stone shone with the color of white jade. After taking it to be tested, it was found to be pure jade with a purity of over 98%, with pitifully few impurities.
Such a terrifying huge white jade stone could shock the entire world to death before the Great Apocalypse. If it was appraised, it would probably be sold for a few trillion RMB.
Of course, it couldn't be sold. Instead, it would be kept as a national treasure by the government.
However, after the Great Apocalypse, this huge white jade stone seemed a little redundant.
Back then, humans couldn't even keep their lives, so they didn't have any interest in luxury items. This huge white jade stone was just a nice looking stone.
However, it would be a pity to just leave it outside. So, Kenzu had a brainstorm. He found a group of construction workers and engineers. After three years, they carved this huge white jade stone into a huge building. Kenzu named it White Jade Capital. It became the Yan Jing City's office.
After the Sword Committee was established, White Jade Capital became the Sword Committee's office building.
It was also the most luxurious building in the world. Even the Yanjing Palace and the headquarters of the Sword Committee did not have a tenth of the grandeur of the White Jade Capital. Anyone who saw the building carved out of white jade would be on their knees and kneel in front of the uncanny workmanship of nature.
However, Guhan and Lu Xihua didn't have much of a reaction when they saw White Jade Capital. That was because Guhan had seen it countless times on the Internet. Guhan could even memorize all the data of White Jade Capital, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Lu Xihua, on the other hand, had seen too many of them. The first time she saw White Jade Capital, she couldn't help but want to kneel.
However, after so many days, she had truly integrated into the position of Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion Master. She kept going back and forth between the Sword Committee's headquarters and the Yan Jing City Sword Committee's headquarters. No matter how magnificent it was, she was no longer curious about it.
After they entered White Jade Capital, a staff member came to greet them. The staff member asked why the two swordbearers were here. They were obviously not from Yan Jing City.
"I am Guhan, and she is Yuzhang City's Sword Pavilion Master, Lu Xihua. We want to see the chairman of the Yan Jing Sword Committee, the Great Sun Sword Immortal!" Guhan told the staff member.
Although Yan Jing City had the existence of Sword Emperor Haotian Sword Emperor, it seemed that in theory, the position of the chairman of the Sword Committee should belong to Haotian Sword Emperor.
But since Kenzu, humans had developed a habit. Apart from Jiandi, who had founded the base city, Jiandi would not directly participate in the various government affairs of the base city. They would cultivate in their own palaces and improve their abilities. They would put all their energy into making themselves stronger and living longer.
However, Jiandi could assign any position in the base city to anyone other than the Sword Pavilion Master. Therefore, the chairman or chairman of the Sword Committee would usually be appointed by Jiandi.
The Great Sun Sword Immortal was appointed by Haotian Jiandi to be the chairman of the Sword Committee. He had the authority of Haotian Jiandi. In Yan Jing City, the Great Sun Sword Immortal was second only to Jiandi. He was like a prime minister.
The staff member was just an ordinary person. He did not know that a sword holder at the God's Sword Immortal had died in Yuzhang City.
But he did know that Guhan had humiliated the sword spirit of the Gui Hall. Therefore, he was in awe of Guhan. Moreover, the Sword Pavilion Master of Yuzhang City was with him. Therefore, the staff member did not dare to delay. He immediately reported Guhan's request to the operator.
In less than 10 seconds, the staff member received a reply. He began to lead Guhan to the special elevator at the back of the hall.
It was impossible to see the Great Sun Sword Immortal by normal means. Only by going through the special elevator could he see the person who had the highest authority in Yan Jing City.
