"Thank you, Judge.." Jiang Huang said as he bowed deeply. With how overwhelmed by emotion he was, he didn't even have the presence of mind to wonder how the Order got his sword in the first place.
"You're welcome, Supreme Elder.." Yang Qing said as he created a gentle force with a movement of his hand to help the supreme elder up.
Getting the sword back had not been difficult at all as the sword was in Lin Duyi's storage ring. To make the hijack a success and smoothly replace Jiang Huang's imprint on the sword spirit, he had to keep the sword close to him at all times for the conversion.
That sword was what led them to Jiang Huang in the first place. Lin Duyi may have been a despot, but he was no fool in his actions. All acts of tyranny he did were within reason. They were not things the Order could punish him for even if they found out about it. Well, all except one.
