Chapter 1938 - Turning Tables (2/2)

The crowd fell silent

Under the encirclement of over ten opponents, Dan Xiaotian was able to steal a sword and knock out the swords in the hands of the others without even taking a step… The strength and swords!

If such a person was considered as a trash, ould they count as?

Xue Qin’s face paled as her body tree 3-dan consummation cultivator, she knew that she would definitely be incapable of such a feat

If she were to attempt to do the same, she had little doubt that she would be overwhelmed in an instant and fall in defeat

Xue Chen was silent for a moment before he swiftly rebutted, “Even if you aren’t a trash, it’s a fact that you have colluded with the bandits Even your own neighbors have stepped forward to testify that they have spotted bandits entering your residence in thethose words, Dan Xiaotian turned to look at the titnesses and asked, “Are you certain that you have witnessed with your own eyes that there are bandits entering my residence?”

“Yes… There’s no mistake about it!”

“We have seen it for certain!”

Under Dan Xiaotian’s piercing gaze, the two neighbors cowered fearfully a little

If Dan Xiaotian was still unable to cultivate, they would still have nothing to fear But given the prowess that Dan Xiaotian had just displayed, they couldn’t help but recall the io…

Even though they were just revealing what they had seen, just the possibility that Dan Xiaotian could exact vengeance on them in the future for this made their words sound much less confident than before

While their hearts were thu fearfully, Dan Xiaotian spoke out, “The fact that you saw it means that… you are very sharp-eyed!”

“Huh?”

The two neighbors were stunned

Sharp-eyed?</e?</e that you have colluded with the bandits! No matter how talented and powerful you are, there’s no way the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion would accept a person who has h a rock had been thrown into a pond, a huge uproar broke out amidst the crowd in that instant

“Hahahaha! Look, Dan Xiaotian has finally admitted to his crimes! Since that’s the case, I believe we need not continue on with the interrogation anymore Men, capture that scoundrel who dares to collude with the bandits and lock him up!” Xue Chen was also stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up in ravenous joy

From the moment that Dan Xiaotian revealed his true prowess, he knew that things had gone awry If Dan Xiaotian were to vehemently refute their claiht for him

The fact that they had chosen to hold a public trial was a double-edged sword to them They would have to find conclusive evidence in order to indict Dan Xiaotian, or else the reputation of the City Lord Manor could be sullied as a result of this ht that Dan Xiaotian would foolishly admit to the matter at this moment… Not to mention, in front of so many people at that!

With this, Dan Xiaotian’s fate was sealed Just by this confession in itself, they would be able to push for Dan Xiaotian’s execution!

“Aren’t you being too hasty over here? I didn’t know that the City Lord Manor has a habit of ju to Huo Jianghe, he clasped his fist and asked politely, “Senior Huo, I would like to summon an eye-witness to the court”

“Go ahead!” Huo Jianghe nodded

“Colanced outside and ordered

A figure covered tightly in a black robe and a straw hat walked fro at the center of the court, he slowly took off his hat

“He’s Cao Chengli!”

“You mean the leader of that band of bandits?”

“He actually dares to walk right into the City Lord Manor? How dare he! Kill him!”

“He’s the eye-witness that Dan Xiaotian is su with one another!”

…

Upon catching a closer look at the silhouette, the croent completely frenzied

The person who had just entered was no other than the leader of the bandit band, Cao Chengli!

This fellow’s hideout was hidden in the depths of thearound the coraphy As a result, the previous attempts by the City Lord Manor to apprehend hiht into the City Lord Manor… Just who in the world gave hiht? Cao Chengli is actually heeding Dan Xiaotian’s words! It’s obvious that they are in collusion!” Xue Chen was so excited that he nearly leaped into the air

Everything that had been presented thus far was just speculations and circuht the leader of the bandit band right in…

Was there a worse move that one could make in this situation?

“Collusion?” Dan Xiaotian suddenly roared in laughter as he looked at the black-robed bandit “Why don’t we hear fro with?”

“It’s hili stepped forward and pointed to Xue Chen and Xue Qin “She was involved in it as well!”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t you dare spout falsehood in this sacred place of justice!” Xue Chen’s eyebrows shot up and he swiftly denied Cao Chengli’s claili’s fists clenched tightly together fro his story loudly, “Yesterday night, Xue Chen paidas I successfully assassinated the target, he would pay me a handsoation and found that the person I was intending to assassinate is a weakling, so I swiftly agreed to his request!”

“assassination?”

“Weakling?”

There were plenty of suessed what had happened, and their eyes swiftly turned to Dan Xiaotian

In recent years, those were the words that had been used far too often to refer to hiet of assassination was no other than Dan Xiaotian!” Cao Chengli answered the doubts of the crowd “So, I prepared an aht… but Dan Xiaotian turned out to bein the failure of my assassination attempt My entire band of bandits was slain by hi if he were to say that his subordinates were killed by a horse and a carriage… Since that was the case, it would be more viable for him to spin up a more believable lie

“It was out of sheer luck that I ed to escape with my life I immediately went to meet up with Xue Chen, and I demanded compensation from him for his inaccurate information that led to the deaths of my subordinates Yet, he only paid me 500 Ethereal Coins… Infuriated, I followed hi to uncover his identity, but what I saw instead was Xue Chen entering the City Lord Manor, and that hen I finally deduced his true identity Furthered to record this scene down on a Record Crystal Please have a look!” Cao Chengli said as he began playing the Record Crystal he had recorded the previous night

The video reflected the courtyard of the tightly-guarded City Lord Manor The first thing that ca in a neat foredat the forefront of the formation, these soldiers stripped their armor and donned the clothes of the bandits After they had all changed into black garly that Dan Xiaotian and those around him must be killed by hook or by crook in this operation!
