Emperor Zhenwu drew the Sword of Exorcising Evil, tossing it to Wang Lingguan.
Wang Lingguan's eyes blazed as he held the renowned Sword of Exorcising Evil.
Rumor had it that the Sword of Exorcising Evil could split mountains, part seas, rend the heavens, and cleave the earth; it was omnipotent. He had never expected to see it with his own eyes today.
Moreover, he was the one to wield it!
All the immortals watched Wang Lingguan. He, not one to shirk responsibility, lifted the sword, ready to cleave the Flowing Sand River apart.
At that moment, Iron Crutch Li of the Eight Immortals stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Zhenwu, Sha Chen was, after all, an exiled general of the Heavenly Court, one of our own. He is not guilty of any crime this time. To destroy his cave dwelling without first attempting to reason with him is, ultimately, not a wise course of action."
The immortals looked at each other, and some soon nodded in agreement.
