With the royal decree of Ji Haodian, Lin Zongyue and Ji Xuanyuan were very respectful and agreed to be mediators for Su Xin.
Moreover, they, too, were curious to see the outcome of a face-off between a powerful Martial Artist from the Esoteric Sect and one from the Shaolin Temple.
When Su Xin returned, Xuan Ming saw that Lin Zongyue and Ji Xuanyuan were ready to mediate, and that Tang Xian brought a royal decree from Ji Haodian. He had no choice but to acknowledge the situation. He got the text for Vajra Immortal Technique and the Undying Golden Body from Kong Xing and handed them to Lin Zongyue and Ji Xuanyuan. Su Xin also handed his Buddhist Bone Relics over to them.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xuan Ming asked, "Who will go first?"
Su Xin replied, "No rush, we'll draw lots to make it fair. Plus, there are more people on the Esoteric Sect's side, so we'll play best of three games. How does that sound?"
