This wasn't because of how strong Xiao Yang was, nor was it because of how noble Xiao Yang's status was. It was because they felt uneasy and guilty.
Previously, they'd listened to the slanderous words of vile characters and had almost hurt Xiao Yang. Now that they knew that Xiao Yang was innocent, they couldn't wait to apologize. How could they still dare to be strict with him? One had to know that a fifth level Martial Ancestor Realm cultivator like Xiao Yang's time was very precious. His reputation was also very important. But with their actions, they'd wasted a lot of Xiao Yang's time and tarnished Xiao Yang's reputation. It was already good enough that Xiao Yang didn't pursue their mistakes. How could they still dare to be strict with him?
"Brother Xiao Yang, it was all our fault before. It's our fault for bringing you trouble. We're extremely sorry. We'll deeply reflect on our actions."
"Xiao Yang, we're sorry. We've wronged you."
"It's all our fault for listening to the slanderous words of scum. We'll punish them severely right now and give you justice."
Guo Xiangyang, Qiu Shanming, and Nangong Mingliang all tried to explain themselves to Xiao Yang. The awkward smiles on their faces were uglier than crying. Who told them to do something wrong? Who told them to frame Xiao Yang and almost cause a huge mistake?
If Xiao Yang hadn't proven his innocence, they would've created a huge injustice.
Think about it. If the dignified Law Enforcement Hall had to force the person involved to prove his innocence, then what was the point of having a Law Enforcement Hall?
They felt humiliated and didn't have the face to see anyone.
Even the other disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had ashamed expressions on their faces. They were blaming themselves in their hearts.
Instead, they hated the three scum. Their hatred wasn't any less than the three captains'.
Not only did the three scum break the Law Enforcement Hall's rules, but they'd also smeared its reputation. The impact of their actions on society was enormous. It was because of people like them that the Poison Sect's atmosphere was so foul.
Of course, the main reason why they were so angry was that the three scums had cheated them of their feelings and trust.
Think about how those three bastards looked like they were going to die for justice. That was simply a solemn vow to cover up their sins and darkness.
They had all been deceived, so of course they couldn't accept it.
This was especially true for the three captains, Qiu Shanming, Nangong Mingliang, and Guo Xiangyang. They had always been known for their keen eyesight and ability to discern even the smallest detail. Because these three degenerates were disciples of the Disciplinary Hall, they had misplaced their trust in them and almost made a mistake that would lead to everlasting regret. Therefore, their anger was practically overflowing to the heavens. It was so intense that it reached the level of raging waves and was indescribable.
Xiao Yang remained calm and collected. He blinked his eyes and shrugged. "Oh, I've said it before. Once I prove my innocence, the three of them will die."
Then, he continued to observe.
In any case, from his point of view, those three scums from the Disciplinary Hall would definitely not be able to live past today. If Guo Xiangyang, Nangong Mingliang, and the others from the Disciplinary Hall did not make a move, then he would definitely make a move.
As long as he had a clear conscience, he didn't care about so many restrictions and bullshit rules.
"Don't worry, we will definitely make you satisfied with how we handle things."
Guo Xiangyang made a promise to Xiao Yang.
Qiu Shanming's originally tightly furrowed expression relaxed slightly. He and Xiao Yang had known each other for a long time. Because of the Changsun Mountain, Zhou Shanlin, and Zhou Shancai incident, he had established a relationship with Xiao Yang. At that time, he had thought quite highly of Xiao Yang. However, after he had listened to the lies of the swindler, he felt that Xiao Yang was a rotten person on the inside and had a bad impression of him. Now that the truth was out, he realized that he had misunderstood Xiao Yang. He really felt apologetic.
However, as long as Xiao Yang was innocent, then he was very satisfied and his heart was at ease. This proved that his first judgment was not wrong.
"Brother Xiao Yang, don't worry. Even if Captain Guo cares about personal feelings, I will definitely be fair to the end." Qiu Shanming patted his chest and spoke frankly with an upright and plainspoken expression.
He didn't mind fawning a bit more for Xiao Yang. It would be a bonus point for himself.
Nangong Mingliang's expression was just as righteous as his domineering aura. "These three villains deserve to die ten thousand deaths. Instead of doing proper business, they resorted to such crooked methods and ruined the Poison Sect's reputation. Who knows how many people have been harmed by them? If we don't kill them, how will we heal the wounds of the other victims? If we don't kill them, how will we punish the chickens to warn the monkeys and uphold justice? "
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Nearly a hundred Discipline Hall disciples couldn't help but roar with grief and indignation. Their morale soared, and killing them was already an irresistible trend.
Even if these three disciples were Guo Xiangyang's men, he had no choice but to kill them now. Otherwise, how would he convince the masses?
He had already walked in front of the three of them. He stared at them coldly and asked angrily, "If you have any regrets, hurry up and tell me. You have done such a heinous thing. Even a Golden Immortal can't save you."
Although he was very angry and wanted to kill these three evil subordinates, he was still willing to give them a chance to make arrangements after their deaths on account of the fact that they had followed him for so many years.
"Big, big captain, don't kill us. We know our wrongs, sob sob …"
"Big captain, on account of our many years of service, can you just let us go? We're willing to leave the Poison Sect."
"I don't want to die yet, big captain."
"Besides, he only used a martial skill. He could've fabricated it out of thin air. How can that be used as evidence? I won't be able to rest in peace even if I die."
The three scum were crying so hard that even snot was flowing out of their noses. Perhaps sensing the danger of death, they had no choice but to find another reason to stall for time, even if it meant twisting the truth.
"That's right, that's right. We won't die in peace, big captain."
"We've been wronged. You can't be fooled by Xiao Yang."
"We won't be able to rest in peace."
The three disciplinary hall disciples saw a trace of hesitation in Guo Xiangyang's expression and immediately realized that they had a chance. Thus, they increased the weight of their claims and continued to cry out their innocence.
In reality, Xiao Yang had presented the truth to them. However, if they admitted their guilt, only death would await them. In order to survive, they had no choice but to continue deceiving him.
Guo Xiangyang thought for a moment, then hesitated. In the end, he still turned around and swept his gaze over Xiao Yang.
Then he took two steps towards Xiao Yang. Cupping his hands together, he knelt on one knee and said to Xiao Yang, "Brother Xiao Yang, I know that my request is excessive and that these three scum deserve to die ten thousand deaths. But can you let them die in peace? For example, can you produce some evidence?"
This request was undoubtedly excessive.
Even Qiu Shanming and Nangong Mingliang furrowed their brows.
