Last night at midnight, more than 20 disciples of Tianwu Peak were killed or injured.
The kidnapping incident caused a huge uproar, especially after the two hitmen who were caught were found to be working for the business, making the situation difficult to resolve.
The peak master of Tianwu Peak rushed to Qingshuang Peak overnight, followed closely by the peak master of Jinyang Peak with Shang Jiuming.
Although the peak master of Tianwu Peak usually didn't interfere in the affairs between his disciples, he was extremely angry when he saw the corpses of his disciples. He looked at the peak master of Jinyang Peak and Shang Jiuming behind him with a murderous gaze.
"Zhang Jinyang! Within the boundaries of Holy Capital Academy, your disciple actually dared to send assassins to harm dozens of my disciples! How dare he!"
Faced with the questioning from the peak master of Tianwu Peak, Shang Jiuming was somewhat afraid.
He remained silent behind the peak master, displaying none of the demeanor expected of a noble family heir.
"Peak Master Liu, calm down. Longshao Peak has always been remote. Why would your disciples come here in the middle of the night? I think there must be something fishy about this. Don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of us."
The peak master of Jinyang Peak stepped forward to help Shang Jiuming out of the predicament, and looked at Luan Zhenfeng, his words carrying a hidden meaning.
Normally, Long Shaofeng is nowhere to be seen, so why did the disciples of Tianwu Peak and Luan Zhenfeng all go there last night?
What a coincidence?
"Zhang Jinyang, I haven't even blamed you yet, but you're blaming me first."
Luan Zhenfeng snorted coldly, "The reason I went to Longshao Peak in the middle of the night is because you, my good disciple, kidnapped my peak's disciples."
"You're making baseless accusations and spreading false charges!"
Seeing that the dean had also arrived, Zhang Jinyang bit Qing Shuangfeng to death.
"You rescued the person, you arrested the killer, and the whole thing is just your side of the story from Qing Shuang Peak. Do you think it's free to frame someone these days?!"
"You're turning the tables on me!"
Luan Zhenfeng was furious when he saw him turn the tables on him. "If it weren't for saving my nineteenth disciple, why would I have gone to Longshao Peak?"
"You said someone kidnapped your Qing Shuang Peak disciples, so where are the kidnappers? And where are the disciples you rescued?"
Zhang Jinyang was an excellent orator, and he quickly rendered Luan Zhenfeng speechless.
Liu Wu looked at Luan Zhenfeng, his brows furrowed slightly. "What exactly is going on?"
The dean also looked at Luan Zhenfeng, who was so angry he was speechless, and asked, "Where is your apprentice who was tied up?"
He doesn't know either!
Luan Zhenfeng was furious at being wrongly accused.
Yesterday, the disciples of Qing Shuang Peak came to tell him that the nineteenth brother had been kidnapped, and fearing that the nineteenth brother was in danger, they asked him to go and rescue him.
Normally nothing major would happen on Qing Shuang Peak, but the thought of someone harming disciples within the Holy Capital Academy's sphere of influence enraged him so much that he rushed there that very night.
Who knew that he couldn't save his own disciple, and that he was framed by Zhang Jinyang for doing a good deed on a whim.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Zhang Jinyang became even more certain, "It was your Qing Shuang Peak who orchestrated this whole thing, harming your fellow disciples. The entire peak colluded to sow discord between the aristocratic families and the academy!"
Shang Jiuming, who was hiding behind him, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Seeing that the crisis had temporarily passed, he straightened his clothes and stepped out from behind Zhang Jinyang. "Revered Master, Peak Master Liu, I have always acted uprightly and honestly in the academy for so many years, and I would never do anything to kill a fellow disciple. Moreover, I do not know any of the assassins that Peak Master Luan mentioned. I beg you, Revered Master and all Peak Masters, to investigate thoroughly."
Give me back my innocence, and give the merchant back their innocence.
He sent out two groups of people last night.
Even if Long Shaofeng's plan fails, Shang Moyun should have already silenced that Qing Shuangfeng disciple by now.
Now, as long as we join forces with the Peak Master to kill Luan Zhenfeng, this matter will be over.
After figuring things out, Shang Jiuming suddenly felt more confident, and even his voice became louder.
"Nineteenth Junior Brother?"
"Junior Brother Nineteen and Junior Brother Yan are back!"
A joyful shout from outside the gate of Qing Shuang Peak drew everyone's attention to the entrance.
Old Nineteen returned, bruised and battered.
Yan Qing also perished.
The moment the two appeared, they became the focus of attention, and Shang Jiuming's eyes showed a moment of panic.
They're back, but what about the assassins they sent out?
Shang Yanting glanced at him indifferently, then bowed to the Dean and Luan Zhenfeng, saying, "Disciple greets Venerable Master and Peak Master."
"Why are you two only getting back now? Where did you go?"
Luan Zhenfeng asked impatiently.
"Peak Master, I've been knocked unconscious and tied up."
The nineteenth brother replied pitifully, "Later, I ran away to the mountains and hid for a night until Junior Brother Yan came and rescued me."
"Who tied you up?"
"I have no idea."
He honestly shook his head; on the way back, Shang Yanting did not collude with him on their testimonies.
"How many people are on the other side, and what are their characteristics?"
"There were only seven or eight people who tied me up, and there were many others guarding me all around. Most of them were at the mid-to-late stage of the Martial Realm, and two of them were at the Martial Master level."
Upon hearing this, the peak master of Tianwu Peak examined the nineteenth brother from head to toe, "Your cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Martial Realm, how did you escape from these people?"
"They also kidnapped Junior Brother Yan's magical beast."
I managed to escape by clinging to a thin bucket; it's quite embarrassing to admit.
But with the three peak masters and the dean all present, and all looking serious and solemn, he dared not lie.
"It was with the help of the thin bucket that we barely managed to escape. The situation was very critical, and we were almost caught and taken back several times."
With his explanation, Jia Xitong instantly became the focus of the crowd.
"it?"
None of the three peak masters or the dean believed it.
"Really! Last time, Xitong even defeated Shang Moyun's Iron-Spine Flaming Lion. I heard that the beast was so scared that it got diarrhea that night."
After the nineteenth prince finished speaking, the surrounding disciples burst into laughter.
Shang Jiuming's expression immediately turned very awkward.
The dean and the other two peak masters were unaware that he had been covered in feces, but Zhang Jinyang was well aware of it.
He glanced at the strange little beast a couple more times, then changed the subject, "Your peak master went to Longshao Peak to rescue you, and Yan Qing went to the desolate ridge to rescue you. How did they know your location at the time?"
Upon closer examination, the nineteenth prince's statement is riddled with flaws.
"It's still because of the narrow barrel."
It has a special ability: no matter how far apart it and Junior Brother Yan are, they can still know each other's location.
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Jinyang immediately stated, "I have never heard of such a monster. You would make up such a low-level lie just to deceive people."
Luan Zhenfeng objected this time, "Zhang Wuyou, you've never heard of this before. Is it possible that you're just ignorant?"
That was a very eloquent statement, effectively shutting down the Heavenly Martial Peak Master and Dean who had initially wanted to raise questions.
If they also say they haven't heard of it, wouldn't they also be considered ignorant and uninformed?
"Since you and your disciple are so confident, why don't you prove it to everyone?"
Based on his many years of experience, Zhang Jinyang still couldn't believe that such a coincidence could exist in the world.
How can you prove it?
"Place this beast anywhere on Qing Shuang Peak. If Yan Qing can find it within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then I will believe you are telling the truth."
