Few people had witnessed Jing Jiu striking in person, since most of those witnesses had died. Nobody knew how brutal he was apart from Zhao Layue and a few others.
Yet, everybody was aware that Jing Jiu didn't talk much.
He had said two long sentences today, both accusing the Center Sect of their negligence.
An uproar occurred in the grand hall, and then died down; the grand hall was as quiet as a graveyard.
Even if Jing Jiu was the sect master of Green Mountain, he shouldn't talk to the Immortal Bai like he was lecturing someone junior to him, because she was none other than the Immortal Bai! Moreover, the Center Sect had come with the intention of humiliating the Green Mountain Sect, but they ended up leaving in silence without achieving any of their goals. It was a great humiliation for them already; what did the triumphant Green Mountain Sect intend to do now?
What Jing Jiu said was simple enough; he intended to warn the other party.
