Chapter 668: Debate
As dusk fell, the honey-like color enveloped the small woods in the suburbs, bringing warmth and tranquility.
In the forest, however, there is a completely different atmosphere.
The group of heroes forced the Confucian hero to death, coldly and mercilessly.
The once world-famous leader of the righteous path no longer exists, and only a poor man with a disgraced reputation remains, who is hunted down and hunted like a rat crossing the street.
The west wind swept through the treetops, and millions of leaves turned over to reveal their grayish backs, faintly revealing the smell of corruption.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, because they realized that behind the glamorous appearance, there was such a shameful thing.
The branches and leaves swayed in the wind, rustling.
The whole forest seemed to come alive suddenly. After seeing the scene here and now, I couldn't help but laugh at the stupidity of the world and the inferiority of all living beings.
"Please let Shi Yanwen be executed?"
"This Xuan Zhixuan is too arrogant and presumptuous!"
Lu Ping looked at the short man who was threatening Shi Yanwen with his words and actions not far away, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
However, it's not that he can't understand Xuan Zhixuan's approach.
What the Shangtonghui has done during this period of time, whether it is punishing evil and helping the people develop, is nothing more than a small-scale operation.
What Xuan Zhixuan really wants to do is undoubtedly to make Shangtonghui the number one underworld force in the southern martial arts world, and for him to become a "master of the martial arts world" and control power.
To do this, he needs to have greater achievements.
Otherwise, why would so many people in the martial arts world obey his orders?
But achievements are always hard to come by.
In the original drama, Xuan Zhixuan was able to secure his position as the president of Shangtonghui by relying on the two operations of 'assisting in repelling the demons' and 'exposing the list of black-eyed members', as well as with the guarantees of Qiao Rulai, Akabane Shinnosuke, Yu Xingyi and others.
However, in this world, the only two things that can be compared with the above two events in recent years are "repelling the Western Sword School" and "restoring the local energy of the Southern Martial Arts Forest".
Unfortunately, Xuan Zhixuan did not contribute in either of these two events.
Therefore, if Xuan Zhixuan wants to become the leader of the martial arts world, his current actions are far from enough!
However, this obviously does not pose a problem for the 'Light of Nine Calculations'.
As the saying goes: If there is no opportunity to go, then create opportunities for yourself.
Now Xuan Zhixuan is planning to add glory to his life resume by doing two things: 'arresting Shi Yanwen and Zang Jingren', and 'restraining Miaojiang from continuing to covet the land of Southern Wulin'.
"Shi Yanwen, I advise you to cooperate a little, surrender and accept the trial, and don't make the same mistake over and over again."
Xuan Zhixuan gave earnest advice, his feelings were so sincere and touching.
"During this period, the Jianghu has too many misunderstandings about Yanwen!"
"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yan Wenben has made up his mind to retire from the martial arts world and no longer interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world. Why do you have to force me and keep nagging me?"
Shi Yanwen's face was filled with sorrow, and no one knew whether he was lamenting his own suffering or sympathizing with the heroes who had been fooled.
Xuan Zhixuan said seriously: "If everyone who makes a mistake just says 'misunderstanding' and then retires from the martial arts world, refusing to accept trial and punishment, then where is the justice in the martial arts world? Where is the chivalrous way of the martial arts world?"
"Only when the guilty are brought to justice can the stable operation of this martial world be guaranteed!"
Shi Yanwen calmed down after hearing this and said, "I agree with what the president said!"
Xuan Zhixuan asked: "Then are you willing to surrender?"
"It's not that difficult to make Yanwen surrender. But we need a good reason to accuse him. President, what have I done wrong?"
Xuan Zhixuan knew that the real drama was about to begin, and immediately asked in a stern voice: "You and your twin brother Cang Jingren fought each other openly, but secretly colluded with each other, playing with the people of the two major martial arts circles of the west and the south, and trying to usurp the power of the martial arts world and the court."
"This crime is intolerable!"
Shi Yanwen shook his head and spoke in a loud and impassioned voice: "Yanwen and Cangjingren are indeed twin brothers, but the 'Shi family conspiracy' that is circulating in the world is really nonsense!"
"President, you keep claiming that I'm in collusion with Zang Jingren. Do you have any evidence?" As soon as these words came out, the heroes fell silent and turned their eyes to Xuan Zhixuan with anticipation on their faces.
The matter of Shi Zang's collusion is still under speculation. Although more than half of the people in the underworld believe this statement, they all have no solid evidence.
This is also the biggest reason why many people still believe that the conspiracy is false!
The heroes now turned their eyes to Xuan Zhixuan, wanting to see if he could give enough reasons to make today's battle "justifiable".
Of course Xuan Zhixuan can do it!
What the Mohists are best at is "fabricating evidence" and "destroying evidence". Things like accusing Shi Zang of collusion are not difficult for Xuan Zhixuan, who is the Nine Calculators.
"If you weren't colluding, why did you two fight each other for decades, but other people in the martial arts world were killed and injured, while your Shi family didn't lose a single member?"
"If you are not colluding, why do your fellow guild members and colleagues in the court all suffer repeated defeats, while your status is rising?"
"If you weren't colluding, why did you and Cang Jingren share martial arts and learn each other's martial arts to perfection?"
"..."
"All these things add up to thirteen pieces of suspicious evidence, and they are all traceable!"
"If you two brothers had not been secretly communicating with each other, how could you explain these circumstances?"
Xuan Zhixuan spoke eloquently and pointed out many places that had been overlooked before.
These points might have been overturned with one explanation or another in the past, but now when you look at them all together, they seem like irrefutable evidence.
Too many coincidences may not be coincidences.
After this long speech, the thinking logic of the heroes present was immediately distorted, and they regarded Xuan Zhixuan's final conclusion as the only explanation.
So everyone's eyes turned towards Shi Yanwen, and their hearts that were almost shaken became firm again.
Faced with Xuan Zhixuan's accusation, Shi Yanwen was silent for a long time. The words came to his lips but he couldn't say them, so he could only let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Xuan Zhixuan was very proud of himself: "What? The evidence is irrefutable, you have no way to defend yourself?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Yanwen shook his head and sighed again: "President Xuan Zhixuan's words just now were clear, fluent, and well-organized. He must have rehearsed them privately for a long time in advance, right?"
"..."
I was hit!
Xuan Zhixuan secretly clenched his fists.
Shi Yanwen said again: "These 'evidences' you carefully listed do fit the 'conspiracy', but Yanwen has a simpler and more reasonable explanation."
Xuan Zhixuan's eyes moved, and he asked curiously: "Hmm...what's the explanation?"
Shi Yanwen said loudly: "The explanation is: Yanwen and Cang Jingren have high martial arts talents and strong enough strength!"
"It is precisely because we are strong that we can fight each other for decades without being defeated, learn each other's martial arts, rise step by step in the court and surpass others!"
Everyone present: “……!!”
To be honest, the reason given by Shi Yanwen is indeed the most reasonable and simple explanation.
However, the heroes who were forcing them to kill were obviously unable to accept this statement.
What they want is to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the "big men" of the past to satisfy their own vanity, not to really "enforce justice."
Rather than admitting their mistakes, they prefer to believe that their actions are correct.
The more important point is: if Shi Yanwen is a bad person, then he and others have done nothing wrong; if Shi Yanwen is a good person, then he will definitely not be too harsh on the heroes who made mistakes.
In either case, they won't lose out by making this choice.
