After learning that the Jinyiwei had suddenly sealed off the entire Songshan Sect's headquarters, not only did the Songshan Sect's elders and disciples rush to the main gate with weapons on their guard...

This matter spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, throughout the entire Liuhe region.

Half an hour ago, Xu Shan’s men stabbed to death the five elders of the Songshan Sect at the city gate.

Now, they have mobilized such a large force to blockade their base.

This inevitably made some "conspiracy theorists" and high-ranking members of the sect doubt Xu Shan's true motives.

It is an open secret that the Songshan Sect is secretly close to the Ning Wang Mansion.

Lord Xu's move is ostensibly aimed at the Songshan Sect, but is he actually trying to eliminate the influence of the Ning Wang Mansion?

After hearing the news, both Gong Banque of Wudi City and Yue Buqun who had been in seclusion recently, brought their men to the Songshan garrison.

Not only them, even Emei, Shaolin and Wudang sent people to investigate.

Zuo Lengchan, who had led his troops to the gate, saw Li Yuanfang, the leader, directing the Jinyiwei to clear the area outside his own base. He angrily asked, "Master Li..."

"What do you Jinyiwei mean by this?"

"Just now, your people strangled the five elders of our Songshan Sect for no reason. Then, they sent people to blockade the Songshan Sect's headquarters."

"Do you really think I'm a Songshan disciple without blood?"

Following Zuo Lengchan's shout, all the elders and disciples who followed him made gestures to draw their swords.

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang glanced at these people with contempt and did not respond.

"Master Xu, there is an order."

"Until the murderer is caught, not a single fly can be released from the Songshan station."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers and the common people began to discuss the matter privately.

"Murderer? What murderer?"

"You don't know yet? Several disciples of the Qingcheng Sect died, and even the Sect Leader, Yu Canghai, was seriously injured."

"In addition, the deputy leader of the Flying Tiger Gang, Hong Tai, also died in the base."

"Master Xu, the reason you returned to Liuhe with such fanfare is to investigate these two cases."

"Ah? So that's what it is."

After vaguely hearing the discussions around him, Zuo Lengchan retorted coldly, "You Jinyiwei's words are too despicable, aren't they?"

"Master Yu was attacked, and Hong Tai was killed. Did you come to the Songshan Sect to find the murderer?"

"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know that Zuo Lengchan and Yu Canghai are close friends?"

"They were even together in the palace, standing up for the Flying Tiger Gang."

"Come to think of it, the leader of the Flying Tiger Gang was killed by you Jinyiwei."

"Master Yu, I have been humiliated time and again in the capital, all thanks to Master Xu."

"In terms of motive, you Jinyiwei are the biggest suspects."

After Zuo Lengchan finished saying this, the discussions around him became even more harsh.

"Yes, Sect Leader Zuo and Sect Leader Yu are as close as brothers. The Flying Tiger Gang recently merged with the two sects to preserve their spot in the 'Shu Shan Wu Hai'."

"No matter how much we investigate, we can't suspect the Songshan Sect."

"Isn't this obviously a frame-up?"

In response to the many questions raised by these gangsters, Li Yuanfang and other Jinyiwei, who only followed orders to seal off the scene, did not say anything to explain.

Instead, they stood in their respective blockade areas with their heads held high and their hands on the blades.

Their arrogant attitude made Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan School disciples even more "angry".

Harsh voices of condemnation rose one after another.

"Is this how you, the Jinyiwei, handle cases?"

"So many people in the underworld have objections, and you don't even have an explanation?"

"Hmm? Sect Master Yue?"

"Master Zuo, we have witnessed everything that happened today."

"Today, he, the Jinyiwei, has not given a convincing reason to everyone. My Hengshan Sect will stand together with the Songshan Sect to resist such bullying."

When Yue Buqun said this in a hoarse voice and pinched his fingers, all the disciples who accompanied him echoed him.

"Before, the Jinyiwei bullied the Kongtong Sect, and you remained silent. Today, the Jinyiwei bullied the Songshan Sect, and you remained silent again."

"What about tomorrow?"

"If he, the Jinyiwei, bullies you again, no one will speak out."

"Can we, the Jianghu sect, allow them to ride on our heads and shit on us?"

The harsh questioning voice reached everyone's ears from far away.

The warriors turned their heads and when they saw that it was Gong Banque leading his troops, they hurriedly made way and echoed him.

"We will never allow the Jinyiwei to act so recklessly and domineeringly."

"You, the Jinyiwei, will investigate the case, and we will cooperate fully. But we must give an explanation to all the martial arts sects."

"Yes. That's right!"

The screams, one higher than the other, rang in Li Yuanfang's ears.

He glanced at everyone, frowned, and called Wu Jieyu to his side.

"Why do I find that the ones shouting the loudest look like our 'water army'?"

"Sir, that's our 'water army' man."

"This was deliberately arranged by our Lord Xu. He said it was to stir up some excitement!"

"I don't know why this operation was carried out."

After Wu Jieyu finished saying this, Li Yuanfang nodded heavily.

Deep down, Li Yuanfang's blind loyalty to Xu Shan prevented him from getting to the bottom of the matter.

Their chatting and laughing really aroused the dissatisfaction of the representatives of various sects.

"Good boy, arrogant and rude."

"We are waiting for a response from your Jinyiwei, but none of you have come out to explain?"

Just when the sects continued to be popular, the news that came in from the outside layer by layer made the representatives of the sects suddenly change their attitude.

"What did you say? The Qingcheng Sect issued a statement."

"He claimed that he had presented his sect's protective formation, the [Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Formation], and the Star-Moon Plate to Prince Ning."

"And today, the Crown Prince of Beiliang was attacked in Jiaoling. The murderer used this formation to trap Jian Jiuhuang, nearly killing the Crown Prince."

'Hiss.'

"If this is true, then the attack on Sect Leader Yu could be an attempt to silence him."

"It's scary to think about it!"

"Yes. The Qingcheng Sect gave everything they had to Prince Ning's Mansion. They presented all the sect's treasures and protective formations."

"But what was the result? After the truth was revealed, he was immediately assassinated."

"If the Qingcheng Sect is like this, what about us small sects?"

"Yup!"

"Besides, everyone knows that the Songshan Sect is a vassal of the Ning Palace. If you look at it from this perspective, he does have a motive to take action."

"How could Lord Xu and the Jinyiwei kill the five elders of the Songshan Sect?"

"I guess they've already gotten some news in advance."

The "water army" who changed their tone instantly pushed the heat of the entire topic from one extreme to another.

It is precisely because of this explosive reversal and sense of gap that the influence it creates is more long-lasting.

So that...

When they looked at the faces of Zuo Lengchan and others now, they saw how ugly they were.
