I'll give you some evidence
The great hall was silent for a moment.
"What's going on?"
A warrior in armor walked over with a cold face. Judging from his aura, this person was also a warrior at the peak of the Black Rank.
Within the Hall of Healing, peak profound rank practitioners could only be the most common of guards.
Of course, a sovereign rank guard still had a high status within the Hall of Healing. Although practitioners of this level weren't rare, they could become a duke after all. Very few would be willing to be a guard. At the very least, they would join the dynasty's Tianlong Guard.
"It's Liu Kang who's run into trouble this time. I can do him another favor this time." Lin Jiang walked over with some joy in his heart. The reason he'd chosen to be a guard at the Hall of Healing and not go to a small county to enjoy the riches and glory was because he wanted the opportunity to soar to the skies.
What kind of place was the Hall of Healing? Honored alchemists came and went. If he could curry favor with any one of them, it would be an enormous opportunity. Therefore, Lin Jiang had been paying attention to the movements of the various alchemists in search of an opportunity. And now, it was the genius alchemist Liu Kang who'd run into trouble. This was the best thing that could happen to Lin Jiang.
If he could curry favor with such a genius alchemist, it would be a piece of cake for him to break through to the sovereign rank when the latter became a fourth rank alchemist.
This person's arrival caused Gu Xuan's gaze to narrow slightly. The two had caused quite a commotion when they'd exchanged blows earlier, but no one had appeared. Now that he'd rendered Liu Kang unable to retaliate and the guard had appeared in time, the implications of this were a bit intriguing.
"Guard Lin, someone's made a move against me!"
Liu Kang immediately stood up when he saw the guard arrive, as if he'd grasped at a life-saving straw. Although this guard's strength was far from his, he was still a guard of the Hall of Healing.
No matter how low his status was, he still represented the Hall of Healing. If he dared defy this person, then he was opposing the Hall of Healing. He was different from the guard in this regard. Although he was a member of the Hall of Healing, he was actually only a member. Even if his master Dugu Fengyun was the hallmaster, he was still only a member and not an internal member.
He could have special privileges, but that didn't mean he represented the Hall of Healing.
Guards were different. The guards of the Hall of Healing were internal members of the Hall of Healing. As long as they were within the limits of their power, their every word and action represented the Hall of Healing. He was far from being able to compare to this guard in this aspect.
"How dare you make a move in the Hall of Healing!"
Although Lin Jiang was a bit puzzled as to how a youth who looked to be in his teens had defeated Liu Kang, he still shouted coldly at Gu Xuan when he saw him. No matter how weak Liu Kang's battle strength was, as a third rank alchemist and a disciple of the head of the Hall of Alchemy, it wasn't hard for him to make a choice.
"You don't seem to understand the situation, do you?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"Understand what situation?" Lin Jiang frowned, "You attacked Master Liu here, I already saw it clearly, you still want to deny it?"
"I saw it. It was Liu Kang who attacked first. Brother Gu Xuan only retaliated after that. If you don't believe me, you can ask the others." Liu Yue 'er immediately defended Gu Xuan when she saw the situation.
Su Tianxin frowned and sneered, but she didn't stop him.
"Oh? Is that so? " Lin Jiang raised his eyebrows and looked at the person next to him, asking, "Tell me, was it this honorable third rank alchemist who attacked first?"
Lin Jiang purposefully emphasized the words "honorable third rank alchemist". Although he didn't believe that anyone would be willing to offend Liu Kang for a nameless brat, it would be a big deal if there was a hothead who didn't know who Liu Kang was.
"No." The person hastily shook his head and shrunk to the back.
"You, then what about you? Did you see Master Liu attack first?" Lin Jiang looked at another person.
"I didn't see anything, it has nothing to do with me." The other person also hastily shook his head. What a joke, a third rank alchemist was already extremely honorable, not to mention one who had the potential to break through to the fourth rank. It would be foolish to offend such a person.
Lin Jiang asked a few more people in succession, and their answers were surprisingly consistent.
"You!" Liu Yue 'er's face was livid with anger. She was inexperienced and had thought that this matter would be settled if others testified for Gu Xuan. She hadn't thought that this would be the outcome.
"Forget it, Yue 'er." Gu Xuan waved his hand and sneered in his heart. How could Liu Yue 'er understand the treachery of these people?
A sinister smile appeared on Liu Kang's face, and he felt incomparably refreshed. He had been beaten up by Gu Xuan this time and had lost all face. Now that he had someone to rely on and walked out of his fear, he naturally hated Gu Xuan to the bone.
Liu Kang looked at Gu Xuan with a mocking gaze, and a vicious smugness appeared on his face. So what if you're strong? I'm a genius alchemist, even the guards want to rope me in. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Hall of Healing? I'm scheming against you, what can you do about it?
"Brat, I've understood the situation. You should have nothing to say now, right?" Lin Jiang looked at Gu Xuan with a cold smile on his face. "You even attacked a third rank alchemist in the Hall of Healing. The evidence is conclusive. Come with me!"
"Conclusive evidence?" The smile on Gu Xuan's face grew even wider. "This isn't conclusive evidence. I think it can be even more conclusive."
Lin Jiang started and obviously didn't understand what Gu Xuan meant. He snorted, "Do you still want to deny it? So many people are testifying for Master Liu, how much more conclusive evidence do you want? I advise you not to have any delusions. You won't be able to make much of a splash in the Hall of Healing. "
"More conclusive evidence, that's it."
Gu Xuan smiled and walked forward. Before Lin Jiang could react, the former's palm had already landed heavily on his face.
Slap!
The terrifying strength sent Lin Jiang crashing to the ground.
"You attacked a Hall of Healing guard. The evidence should be even stronger now." Coldness appeared in Gu Xuan's eyes as he stomped heavily on Lin Jiang's back without waiting for Lin Jiang to crawl up.
A ghastly squeal like that of a pig being slaughtered and the sound of bones breaking rang out almost at the same time as this stomp.
The hundreds of people in the auction house froze as all gazes gathered on Gu Xuan.
Even Su Tianxin and Liu Kang were completely dumbfounded at this moment.
Fighting in the Hall of Healing was already a very serious matter. Unless one had a special status, the punishment would be very severe.
However, they would at most suffer some financial losses and a bit of physical pain. Their lives wouldn't be in danger. Therefore, when Gu Xuan had made a move earlier, others had only thought that Gu Xuan would be unlucky and hadn't thought much of it.
But now, Gu Xuan had directly hit a Hall of Healing guard. Although it was just an unremarkable peak profound rank guard, he was still an internal member of the Hall of Healing.
