The disciples of Shenmo Peak had a popular evaluation about Jing Jiu: He didn't talk too much, but his sword was very formidable.
It was true that Jing Jiu didn't talk that much. Hence, when the door of the meditation room had been closed for a long time, Zhao Layue and the others all felt it odd and came up with many conjectures.

It suddenly occurred to Liu Shisui that his Young Master bade him to learn the sword work with Jian Xilai so that he could take on Peng Lang as his personal disciple.
"Maybe not; he is nonetheless the sect master of the No-Mercy Sect," he said to Zhao Layue in a hushed voice.
Zhao Layue said, "Think about the case of the Young Zen Master."
