Yun Pengqing was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. They had gone too far. Was this the Five Tigers Sect or the Baili Sect?
As the top faction in the Taihang Mountains, the Baili Sect was usually very arrogant, but not to this extent. They had openly come to the Five Tigers Sect to capture people and even interrogated them in the Five Tigers Sect's square. What did they take the Five Tigers Sect for?
"Sect Grand Elder Yun Pengqing, what can the Baili Sect do? The people of the Five Tigers Sect stole from the Baili Sect and even killed our people. Yet, you won't allow us to seek justice. What a tyrannical person," Fu Yu said with the appearance of a shrew.
"How could two ordinary disciples of the Regulated Breathing Realm steal the Baili Sect's Imperial Han Seal? Furthermore, Cheng Shuangjiang had Sea of Qi Realm cultivation. How could two Regulated Breathing Realm girls kill him? Even slandering us would not go so far. "
Yun Pengqing had seen unreasonable people before, but he had never seen someone this unreasonable.
The day before, the Baili Sect had found Cheng Shuangjiang's corpse in the Taihang Mountains. Cheng Shuangjiang was Cheng Zongping's only grandson. His death in the forest was naturally not a small matter. Cheng Zongping was furious and immediately launched an investigation.
However, the next morning, the people of the Baili Sect came to the Five Tigers Sect, saying that Cheng Shuangjiang had been killed by Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian. They wanted to capture them and interrogate them.
Furthermore, when they were capturing them, they found the Imperial Han Seal in their room. The Imperial Han Seal was a treasure of the Baili Sect. It was said that it had been passed down from an emperor of the Han Dynasty. When they searched Su Wan 'er's room, they found the Imperial Han Seal in her room and said that they had stolen the seal.
Yun Pengqing was very clear about this little trick. This was a blatant attempt to shift the blame onto others. One could easily find a pretext to pin a crime on others. These people from the Baili Sect were obviously targeting Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian.
Yun Pengqing knew very well that this had happened because of the Dragon City Talismans on the two of them.
They had only found out about the Dragon City Talismans the day before. The next morning, the people of the Baili Sect had come to kill them. Without a doubt, this news had been leaked immediately. However, Yun Pengqing had not expected that the members of the Baili Sect would actually dare to come and rob them. Furthermore, they had even made up a false accusation.
"Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian are disciples of the Five Tigers Sect. Let's not talk about whether they have done anything wrong. Even if they are guilty, the Five Tigers Sect should be the one to investigate. After their crimes have been investigated, justice will be served to the Baili Sect. What is the meaning of the Baili Sect overstepping its bounds?"
After Wang He received the news, he immediately rushed to the sect's square. The scene in the square immediately made his expression extremely ugly.
The Baili Sect had gone too far. That day, they had blocked the road to rob him. The Baili Sect had already crossed the line and gone too far. However, without concrete evidence, even if the Five Tigers Sect knew the identities of those black-robed men, they could not do anything to the Baili Sect. Moreover, in terms of ability, the Five Tigers Sect was no match for the Baili Sect.
It had only been a few days since they had tried to kill them, and the Baili Sect had actually come to kill them again. Moreover, they were so brazen and unbridled.
"Hmph, they stole my things, so I'm naturally the one to investigate. Moreover, I am half a member of the Five Tigers Sect, and the things they stole were mine. Isn't it right and proper for me to investigate? Or is it that the members of the Five Tigers Sect do not treat me as one of their own? Do you think that you can steal my things and bully me whenever you want? Do you think that there is no one in my family? "
Fu Yu laughed coldly. Wang He, you old thing, had dared to disrespect her that day? She would settle the score with him later.
"The Baili Sect says that Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian stole from the Baili Sect. Do you have concrete evidence?"
Jia Bian had also rushed to the square when he heard the news. The scene in front of him caused his expression to change drastically. The Baili Sect's actions were practically taking a dump on the Five Tigers Sect. If word of this got out, the Five Tigers Sect would certainly become a joke.
"Evidence. The Han Imperial Seal found in their rooms is evidence. Is this evidence not enough?" Fu Yu said coldly.
"Oh, now that the Han Imperial Seal is not in their rooms, does this mean that this' evidence 'is no longer' evidence '? Or rather, if I throw a piece of silver in front of the Baili Sect's mountain gate, then turn around and say that you stole it, is this the logic? "
Jia Bian was much calmer than Wang He. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible for Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian to steal the Baili Sect's Han Imperial Seal.
"It is indeed impossible to say whether they stole it or not. However, as long as we interrogate them, everything will naturally come to light."
Fu Yu laughed coldly. Then, she looked at Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian in the square and said, "You two little b * tches, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, did the two of you steal that thing? Did the two of you kill Cheng Shuangjiang? "
"What? Are you still going to deny it? Beat them. Beat them hard. "
Fu Yu did not care about the people present at all. She actually took the field herself. She picked up a leather whip and used it to whip the two women with all her might.
Screams rang out in the square. The onlookers could not bear to see this happen, but they did not dare to say anything to stop it.
Yun Pengqing and the other Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders had ugly expressions. This was clearly a forced confession. This was not an interrogation but a show of power. This was a show of power to the Five Tigers Sect in their square.
The veins on the foreheads of a few Five Tigers Sect Grand Elders bulged. If it were not for the overall situation, they would have already attacked.
Many people from the Baili Sect had come this time. There were as many as eight Embryonic Breathing Realm strong practitioners. Even the Baili Sect Sect Leader, Yang Gongcheng, had come personally.
The sect leader had not appeared yet, so they did not dare to act rashly.
However, fortunately, Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian had not confessed. If they had confessed, it would be impossible for the Five Tigers Sect to save them. The Baili Sect had come for the two Dragon City Talismans. Once they confessed, the Dragon City Talismans would most likely be snatched away by them.
"You two thieves, hurry up and confess to your crimes. Do you think that the sect will save you if you do not confess? Stop dreaming. Do you think that you can still live after offending the Baili Sect? You will die either way. You might as well confess to your crimes and avoid physical pain. "
To everyone's surprise, Liu Hua, one of the Five Tigers Sect's Sect Grand Elders, said such a thing. The Five Tigers Sect disciples stared at Liu Hua, dumbfounded. Was this still their Sect Grand Elder?
The Baili Sect had come to their doorstep to bully them. As one of the Sect Grand Elders, Liu Hua was actually speaking up for the Baili Sect.
"Liu Hua, you old thief. So it's you." Yun Pengqing's gaze was like lightning as he stared at Liu Hua.
The other two Sect Grand Elders' gazes were also focused on Liu Hua. Their eyes were filled with rage. They had been suspecting that there was a mole for the past few days. Now, the truth had finally come to light. The mole was actually Liu Hua, and he had appeared on his own.
Previously, when they had gone to the Huatian Palace to exchange for the Dragon City Talismans, as well as Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian's possession of the Dragon City Talismans, he had been the one who had leaked the news to the Baili Sect.
Liu Hua's words were clearly meant to break down Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian's psychological defenses. He wanted to create the illusion that the sect had abandoned them. Once they had such thoughts, it was very likely that they would break down and be successfully tortured into confessing.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. You few old things will probably not even know how you died."
Liu Hua laughed coldly. He ignored the angry gazes of Yun Pengqing and the others. He walked up to Yang Gongcheng and bowed respectfully. "I am Liu Hua. Greetings, Sect Leader Yang. Welcome to the Five Tigers Sect for inspection."
"Hmm, you have done well. A wise man submits to circumstances. The other Five Tigers Sect Grand Elders are ultimately not as good as you." Yang Gongcheng nodded, but his face was expressionless.
Liu Hua was secretly delighted. In the Five Tigers Sect, although he was a Sect Grand Elder, he had always been at the bottom. Today, he had finally received recognition. Furthermore, it was from the Baili Sect Sect Leader, Yang Gongcheng.
Yun Pengqing and Wang He were so angry that they could not speak. They wished they could kill Liu Hua on the spot. This b * stard had actually called himself a lowly person in front of Yang Gongcheng. He had even said that he was here to inspect the sect. Since when did the Five Tigers Sect become Yang Gongcheng's territory? Did he need to inspect it?
As a dignified Sect Grand Elder, he was acting so servile. He had completely embarrassed the Five Tigers Sect.
Even the ordinary disciples of the Five Tigers Sect felt ashamed, let alone these Five Tigers Sect Grand Elders. Such a despicable person had actually appeared in the sect. Moreover, he was a dignified Sect Grand Elder.
A sigh suddenly sounded in the square.
"Yang Gongcheng, you must have broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, right? Without breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm, how dare you bully our Five Tigers Sect? "
Suddenly, another person appeared in the square. It was an old man. He was none other than the Five Tigers Sect Leader, Xie Rengui.
Xie Rengui was as indifferent as ever. There was no expression on his face. It was as if the scene in front of him did not affect him. Imperceptibly, the Five Tigers Sect disciples also felt much more at ease. It was as if they had taken a tranquilizer.
The sect leader was the pillar of the sect. As long as the sect leader was still around, the sect would still exist.
"Old Xie, you are very observant." Yang Gongcheng smiled coldly.
"It's not that I am observant, but I know Liu Hua's temperament very well. If you had not broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, he would not have dared to be so unbridled. In reality, I have suspected him for a long time. It's just that I never had any concrete evidence. "
Xie Rengui shook his head. Liu Hua looked like he had no qualms. Clearly, he thought that the Five Tigers Sect would not be a threat to him.
"If Liu Hua can betray the Five Tigers Sect, he can betray the Baili Sect one day. Sect Leader Yang, you should know this, right?" Xie Rengui glanced at Liu Hua. His gaze caused Liu Hua to shiver uncontrollably. A sense of fear involuntarily welled up in his heart.
The Five Tigers Sect Leader, Xie Rengui, had been a famous top strong practitioner in the martial arts circle in the past. It was said that with his talent when he was young, he had a high chance of breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm. However, he had been seriously injured when he was young. The hidden injuries in his body could not be treated. After so many years, he had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm. His cultivation had not improved at all.
"Sect Leader Xie, you are a smart man. I will not speak nonsense. Let me take these two people away, and we will forget about today's matter. From now on, the Baili Sect and the Five Tigers Sect will not interfere in each other's business. How about that?"
Yang Gongcheng said lightly. (To be continued.)
