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.

This time, quite a few Baili Sect members had come. They had more than eight Embryonic Breathing Realm strong practitioners. Even the Baili Sect sect leader, Yang Gongcheng, was here.

Until their sect leader appeared, the Five Tigers Sect simply did not dare to act.

However, fortunately, Su Wan’er and Wang Qian had not pleaded guilty. If they admitted the crime, it would be impossible for the Five Tigers Sect to save them. The Baili Sect had come for the two Dragon City Talismans. Once the girls pleaded guilty, they would most likely find a reason to take the Dragon City Talismans.

“You two thieves are still not pleading guilty? Did you think that if you did not plead guilty that the sect would save you? Stop dreaming. After offending the Baili Sect, did you think that you could make it out alive? Death awaits you regardless of what you do. Wouldn’t it be better to confess and spare yourselves the pain?”

What no one had expected was that one of the Five Tigers Sect’s Sect Grand Elders, Liu Hua would say such a thing. One by one, the Five Tigers Sect disciples stared at Liu Hua with their mouths wide open. Was he still one of their Sect Grand Elders?

The Baili Sect had bullied their way into their sect, yet one of their Sect Grand Elders, Liu Hua, had actually spoken up for the Baili Sect.

“Liu Hua, you old thief! So it was you.” Yun Pengqing’s gaze was like lightning as he suddenly stared at Liu Hua.

The gazes of the other two Sect Grand Elders also fell upon Liu Hua, their eyes filled with seething rage. These past few days, they had constantly been suspicious of a mole in the sect. Now, everything was finally revealed. The mole was actually Liu Hua, and he revealed himself of his own accord.

He had also leaked the news that they were going to the Huatian Palace to exchange objects for the Dragon City Talisman, as well as the fact that Su Wan’er and Wang Qian had Dragon City Talismans.

Liu Hua’s words just now were clearly intended to disintegrate Su Wan’er and Wang Qian’s psychological defenses, giving them the false impression that the sect had forsaken them. Once they had such thoughts, they would most likely crumble and confess under torture.

“A wise man submits to fate. You old things probably won’t even know how you end up dying.”

Liu Hua coldly laughed as he ignored the furious gazes of Yun Pengqing and the others. He casually walked over to Yang Gongcheng, bowed respectfully and said, “Liu Hua pays his respects to Sect Leader Yang. You are welcome to inspect the Five Tigers Sect.”

“Hmm, you have done well. A wise man submits to fate. The other Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders are not as good as you.” Yang Gongcheng nodded his head. However, his face still showed no expression.

Liu Hua secretly felt pleased. In the Five Tigers Sect, although he was honored as a Sect Grand Elder, he was always ranked at the bottom of the Sect Grand Elders. Today, he was finally acknowledged, and by the Baili Sect sect leader Yang Gongcheng at that.

Yun Pengqing and Wang He were so angry that words failed them. They could barely contain themselves from killing Liu Hua on the spot. This b*st*rd had actually lowered himself before Yang Gongcheng and made it seem as though them forcing their way into the sect was an inspection. Since when had the Five Tigers Sect become Yang Gongcheng’s territory that required his inspection?

A dignified Sect Grand Elder had actually prostrated himself in such a manner. He had disgraced the Five Tigers Sect completely.

Even the Five Tigers Sect’s ordinary disciples felt ashamed. Such a villain had actually appeared in their sect, and he was even a dignified Sect Grand Elder.

A sigh suddenly sounded in the square.

“Yang Gongcheng, you should have broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, right? Without having broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, would you have dared to bully my Five Tigers Sect?”

In the square, another person suddenly appeared. It was an elder, who was none other than the Five Tigers Sect sect leader, Xie Rengui.

Xie Rengui was as indifferent as before. His face revealed no expression, as though the scene before him had no effect on him. The Five Tigers Sect disciples also calmed down quite a bit, as though they had been fully assured.

The sect leader was the pillar of a sect. As long as the sect leader lived, the sect would still be around.

“Old Man Xie, you are farsighted.” Yang Gongcheng coldly smiled.

“It is not that I am farsighted. It is just that I am well aware of the disposition of this villain Liu Hua. If you have not broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, would he dare act so unscrupulously? In reality, I have long suspected him. It is just that I haven’t been able to get my hands on concrete evidence.”

Xie Rengui shook his head. From Liu Hua’s unscrupulous look, he clearly did not consider the Five Tigers Sect to be a threat to him.

“If Liu Hua can betray the Five Tigers Sect, one day he can also betray the Baili Sect. Sect Leader Yang must be aware of this, no?” Xie Rengui swept a glance at Liu Hua. The gaze caused Liu Hua to feel an uncontrollable chill down his spine. A sense of fear involuntarily welled up inside of him.

The Five Tigers Sect sect leader Xie Rengui was also a pinnacle strong practitioner that had been highly renowned in the martial art circle back in the day. Rumor had it that with the talent of his youth, he had a high chance of breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm. However, when he was young, he was severely injured and was left untreated. After so many years, he had constantly remained at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm, his cultivation showing no signs of improvement.

“Sect Leader Xie, you are an intelligent person. I will waste time on small talk. Let me take these two girls with me, and this incident will end here. From here on out, the Baili Sect and the Five Tigers Sect will each go their own way and not interfere with each other. How about it?” Yang Gongcheng asked plainly.
