If there were no casualties in the secular world, it would be enough to impose a light punishment.

However, one must be sentenced to death if someone in the secular world had died!

This was the rule set by Tian Ya!

Of course, if the people in the secular world had provoked the others first, then the people from the reclusive world had the right to retaliate.

However, the little girl did not do anything, and yet, Jiu Yue had sent someone to kill her. Where did he gain the courage? Luckily, that girl did not die. Otherwise… Jiu Yue could not have escaped!

Everyone had vowed at that time that if they broke the rules of the reclusive world, they would have to die!

The old master closed his eyes and then opened them after a while.

"Come and put Jiu Yue in prison!"

"Father?" Jiu Yue opened his eyes, shocked. "Father, I have broken a leg and you still want to hit me?"

There was a deep pain in the old master's eyes. "It's fine even if the girl was from the reclusive world, but you have violated the rules. Back then, Tian Ya forced us to make the vow. If we do not punish the person who has violated the rules of the reclusive world, we might well be as good as dead!"

On Cang Yue Mainland, everyone believed in heaven and they dared not break their vows.

Besides, it was a blood oath…

"I will send someone to supervise his sentence." Gu s.h.i.+ smiled with satisfaction.

He could finally give an explanation to his daughter.

Therefore, he stroked his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Father." Jiu Yuan frowned. "Ming'er seems to be too obsessed with that girl. It doesn't seem to be a good thing… And, why didn't you prevent Ming'er from hurting Second Brother?"

If the old master did stop Ming'er, he definitely could not hurt his brother.

"Your son's temper is getting worse." The old master shook his head. "If you want to stop him today, then you can only fight him until one of you dies. I can only hope that he has a conscience. After all, an internal war is forbidden in Deities Gate!"

Otherwise, he would be ashamed whenever the three major forces meet up in the future.

"As for that girl…" The old master squinted. "Just leave her alone for now."

Jiu Yuan was stunned. What the old master said was temporary.

Did the old master also want to kill that girl?

The old master hated internal conflicts in the clan the most. Jiu Ming had treated his second brother in such a way because of that girl. Of course, the old master would be angry.

He could not take action against Jiu Ming merely because of that. Hence, he could only let the girl take the blame.

"But…" Jiu Yuan remained silent for a while. "Second Brother wants to own Paramount, not just for the spirit herbs. Even if he wanted the spirit herbs, he would not look into it like that. It is probably because of the herbal dishes."

Jiu Ming had gotten some herbal dishes that could help the people greatly from somewhere else a year ago. 

Paramount's physicians stayed tight-lipped and did not want to disclose any recipe.

"Indeed." The old master's eyes narrowed into slits. "Those herbal dishes are made with only ordinary materials, yet they have such great effects. What if they are replaced by the spirit herbs?"

If they were replaced by the spirit herbs…

That effect would inevitably increase ten-fold or even more!

"The person who developed the herbal recipes is a genius. Unfortunately, the genius may have come from a poor background and therefore, only uses ordinary herbs to make the recipe. In this regard, Ming'er is not as good as your second brother. If it was your second brother, he would certainly give the genius an endless supply of spirit herbs until he or she develops an herbal dis.h.!.+"
