839 Traitor (1/2)
Yun Pengqing was so angry that his lungs nearly exploded. They were going too far. Was this the Five Tigers Sect or their Baili Sect?
As the number one faction in the Taihang Mountains, the Baili Sect was usually very arrogant. But they had never been this arrogant before, brazenly coming over to the Five Tigers Sect to capture people and interrogating them in the Five Tigers Sect's square. Who did they take the Five Tigers Sect to be?
”Sect Grand Elder Yun Pengqing, what else can the Baili Sect do? A member of the Five Tigers Sect has stolen something that belongs to us and even killed one of our members, yet you won't allow us to seek justice? You are such a bullish person,” Fu Yu said with a shrewd expression.
”How can two ordinary disciples who are merely of the Regulated Breathing Realm have stolen the Han Imperial Jade Seal of your Baili Sect? Also, Cheng Shuangjiang had Sea of Qi Realm cultivation. Could two Regulated Breathing Realm little girls kill him? If you want to spread false accusations, you don't have to go to such an extent.”
Yun Pengqing had encountered unreasonable people before, but he had never seen people that were this unreasonable before.
Yesterday, the Baili Sect had discovered Cheng Shuangjiang's corpse in the Taihang Mountains. Cheng Shuangjiang was Cheng Zongping's only grandson. For him to die in the forest was a big issue. Cheng Zongping was enraged and immediately initiated an investigation.
Early the next morning, the members of the Baili Sect had come to the Five Tigers Sect, claiming that Cheng Shuangjiang had been killed by Su Wan'er and Wang Qian and that they wanted to capture them for questioning.
They also claimed that when they captured them, they discovered the Han Imperial Jade Seal in their room. The Han Imperial Jade Seal was the treasure of the Baili Sect. It was rumored to be the imperial jade seal inherited from an emperor of the Han Dynasty. When they were searching Su Wan'er's room, they discovered the Han Imperial Jade Seal was in her room, so they claimed that the two girls had stolen it.
Yun Pengqing was very clear that the two girls were being blatantly framing. If one wanted to frame a person, there were many ways to do it. The Baili Sect members had obviously come for Su Wan'er and Wang Qian.
Yun Pengqing was aware that the most likely reason for this was the Dragon City Talismans that the girls possessed.
The Five Tigers Sect had only found out about the Dragon City Talismans yesterday. Early the next morning, the members of the Baili Sect had already made their way over here. Without a doubt, this news had been leaked immediately. Yun Pengqing had not imagined that the members of the Baili Sect would dare to come knocking at their door to rob them, even coming up with a non-existent crime.
”Su Wan'er and Wang Qian are disciples of the Five Tigers Sect. Setting aside whether they are guilty or innocent, it is the Five Tigers Sect that will carry out the investigation. Once their crimes have been ascertained, then we will carry out justice for your Baili Sect. What are your Baili Sect's justifications for exceeding your authority?”
After Wang He found out what was going on, he immediately rushed over to the sect's square. The scene in the square immediately caused his expression to turn grim.
The Baili Sect was going too far! When they set up a blockade and tried to rob them, the Baili Sect had already crossed a line. However, without concrete evidence, even if the Five Tigers Sect knew the identity of those black-robed men, they could not do anything to the Baili Sect. Moreover, in terms of ability, the Five Tigers Sect was originally no match for the Baili Sect.
The black-robed men had only tried to kill them a few days ago and now had come knocking on their door again. They also did it so blatantly, even more excessively and unscrupulously.
”Humph, they stole my belongings, so naturally I should be the one to verify it. Also, I am considered to be half a member of the Five Tigers Sect, and the thing that was stolen belongs to me. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for me to be the one who investigates it, or do you mean to say that your Five Tigers Sect does not consider me one of your own? You think that you can steal my possessions and bully me whenever you want! Did you think that I had no family to back me up?”
Fu Yu laughed coldly continuously. ”Wang He, you old thing,” she thought. That day, he had dared to disgrace her. Sooner or later, she would settle the score with him.
”You are claiming that Su Wan'er and Wang Qian stole the items of your Baili Sect. Do you have any concrete evidence?”
Jia Bian had also rushed over to the square once he heard the news. The scene before him made his facial expression changed drastically. The Baili Sect's actions were practically defecating on the head of the Five Tigers Sect. If word of this got out, the Five Tigers Sect would become a laughing stock.
”Evidence? Finding the Han Imperial Jade Seal in their room is the evidence. Could it be that this evidence is insufficient?” Fu Yu asked in a cold voice.
”Oh, so now that the Han Imperial Jade Seal is not in their room, does this 'evidence' cease to be 'evidence'? Or should it be said that it is reasonable for me to throw a piece of silver in front of your Baili Sect's mountain gate and later claim that you stole it?”
Jia Bian was much calmer than Wang He. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible for Su Wan'er and Wang Qian to have entered the Baili Sect and to have stolen the Han Imperial Jade Seal.
”It is indeed too early to say whether or not they stole it. But we only need to interrogate them and everything will naturally be brought 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 am giving you one last chance. Speak. Did you two steal that item? Was Cheng Shuangjiang killed by the two of you?”
”What, you refuse to admit it? Whip them. Whip them hard.”
Fu Yu disregarded the presence of the crowd. She actually went up personally and took up a leather whip to strike the two women.
Screams sounded in the square. Those watching found it unbearable, but no one dared to stop her.
Yun Pengqing and the group of Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders had furious and anxious expressions. The two women were clearly being tortured to extract confessions from them. It was not an investigation; it was to establish dominance. They were establishing their dominance over the Five Tigers Sect in their own square.
The veins on the foreheads of the few Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders were throbbing. If it was not for the sake of keeping up appearances, they would have already been unable to hold back anymore and would have made their move.
