Martial Master

"Hmph, no matter how high your status and talent are, you are still disciples of our Wanbao Building. Now, you've stolen from the Treasure Pavilion and yet are acting wildly here. Who gave you the courage?"

The domineering figure descended; it was a burly man whose mere presence exuded a terrifying aura, his entire body enveloped in a deadly killing intent.

"Vice Pavilion Master Zhu!"

"He even startled Vice Pavilion Master Zhu."

"It seems the situation has escalated."

Everyone respectfully saluted, their faces showing shock. The newcomer was none other than one of the vice pavilion masters of Wanbao Building, Zhu Zishen.

"Vice Pavilion Master Zhu!"

As soon as Zhu Zishen arrived on the scene, Tian Nan Martial God led the crowd in respectful salutes.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! At the same time, terrifying sounds of air being torn apart rang out as the many experts of Wanbao Building arrived. Seeing the scene, they were all taken aback, quickly saluting Zhu Zishen, then looking at Wang Qiming and the other three in shock.

What exactly happened? Why did Vice Pavilion Master Zhu have a conflict with Wang Qiming and his group?

After inquiring, they learned that Wang Qiming and his group had allegedly stolen the Heavenly Dragon Jade from the Treasure Pavilion. But how could that be possible? Although Wang Qiming's group had a volatile temperament and were not good at socializing, their reputation in Wanbao Building was undeniable. Over the years, they had been wholeheartedly focused on secluded cultivation and never caused trouble. That they would steal today was shocking and unexpected.

However, the evidence was irrefutable, making it hard to argue.

"What do you have to say?" Zhu Zishen coldly stared at Wang Qiming and his group. Though it seemed like a question, he had already judged them guilty. It was just a formality. Wang Qiming and the others remained silent; they realized they had been framed. The opposition had directly targeted them, leaving no room for defense. Therefore, no matter how they argued, it likely wouldn't change the outcome.

They knew their masters were renowned offerings of Wanbao Building, top experts. Although Zhu Zishen was a vice pavilion master, under normal circumstances, even if they had truly stolen the Heavenly Dragon Jade, it wouldn't be possible to convict them without an investigation.

But what was the truth?

Zhu Zishen acted immediately, assisting Tian Nan Martial God in suppressing them without investigating the matter even once, not even as a pretense. There had to be something wrong.

"Heh, since you don't defend yourselves, I'll take it as an admission. Take them away and lock them up," Zhu Zishen said with a cold smile, inwardly surprised. He had expected Wang Qiming's group to struggle, so he had prepared many excuses, but none were needed.

"Wait!" A panicked voice rang out. Kang Sitong hurriedly arrived at the scene. Seeing the injured Wang Qiming and his group, his face changed. He quickly blocked Wanbao Building's personnel and said anxiously, "Vice Pavilion Master Zhu, isn't there some misunderstanding?"

He had just received news of Wang Qiming's group stealing the Heavenly Dragon Jade and was terrified, rushing over at once to defend them.

After all, Wang Qiming and his group were brought from Bei Tianyu by him. Because of them, he had established good relations with several major offerings, including Xuan Bing Martial God, becoming a core elder of Wanbao Building. Naturally, he couldn't let anything happen to them.

This was for business reasons; on a personal level, he had promised Qin Chen that he wouldn’t let anything happen to Wang Qiming and his group at Wanbao Building.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? Kang Sitong, while you are a core elder of Wanbao Building, you should know what the crime is for stealing from the Treasure Pavilion. Step aside," Zhu Zishen said impatiently, ignoring his request.

What a joke, this matter was orchestrated by him. How could he not know whether Wang Qiming's group was wronged? He intended to frame them.
