"Well, no justification is needed because it was the Bai Clan, right?"
Bai Zihan said with a sarcastic tone.
Silence swallowed the hall whole.
Some lowered their eyes. Others stiffened.
Because everyone knew what Bai Zihan said was the truth.
The Li and Zhao Clans had launched even bigger invasions against the Bai Clan, yet there weren't many consequences for that.
The silence stretched.
Then—
Zhao Wutian stood up.
His expression was calm, his voice steady.
"The past is in the past," he said evenly. "We are discussing the present matter."
Zhao Wutian immediately tried to change the topic and bring everyone's focus back to the problem at hand.
"The justification you are giving now is too ridiculous. If this is your sole reason for invading the Azure Sun Holy Sect, then we should proceed with punishing the Bai Clan."
Others quickly followed up and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what was the use of discussing something that had already passed?
