“Where is Feng Buqun from Gu Fang Zhai? Let him come out to see me.” The captain of the guard said coldly, his gaze icy. Although he was just a peak Human Level martial artist, in Cang Xuan City, they represented the rules. Even someone like Feng Buqun, a mid-level Earth Saint, wouldn’t dare to cause trouble upon seeing them.
“My Lord, this is just a misunderstanding. It was not our people fighting, but someone from Gu Fang Zhai who came to stir up trouble in my Gu Yao Tang. As for Feng Buqun, he has already been killed by me, so I’m afraid he can’t come out to meet you.” Qin Chen said with a faint smile.
“What?” Immediately, everyone present was astonished, all shocked beyond belief. Feng Buqun was killed by this young man? How could that be possible?
This news was like a heavy bomb that instantly dropped into the crowd, causing various whispers to arise.
Qin Chen paid no attention to the discussions around him. He took out an image and presented the contract between Gu Yao Tang and Gu Fang Zhai: “Everyone should know that not long ago, Gu Yao Tang and Gu Fang Zhai had a contract, a normal commercial cooperation, there’s nothing to criticize. However, Gu Fang Zhai harbored ulterior motives. After we fulfilled our contract, Feng Buqun, relying on his powerful strength, attempted to seize my Gu Yao Tang.”
Qin Chen paused before continuing, “The master of Gu Yao Tang has already joined my Chen Di Pavilion. In my anger, I naturally resisted and fortunately killed this villain. This is the contract and the details of the incident. I ask everyone to judge.”
The contract was presented before the crowd, and many who had come to watch had already heard about it, so they were not surprised and instead focused on the image.
In the image, Qin Chen had taken out the Primordial Qi Pill, but Feng Buqun actually breached the contract and made a move immediately after, leading to the formation opening. The subsequent scenes were completely cut off.
“Indeed, I always thought Lord Feng Buqun was upright, who would have known he was such a scheming person? The cooperation with Gu Yao Tang was merely a conspiracy. Although I am the vice-master of Gu Fang Zhai, I cannot condone Feng Buqun’s actions. I deeply apologize for the losses caused to Gu Yao Tang. Now that Feng Buqun has fallen, I am willing to represent Gu Fang Zhai and join Chen Di Pavilion to atone for our wrongdoing.”
Ji Fanye stepped forward, his tone sincere, filled with deep shame towards Qin Chen.
This... This... This... Everyone was astonished. What on earth happened?
In a short moment, Gu Fang Zhai, including Master Feng Buqun, was nearly wiped out, and now they wanted to join Chen Di Pavilion.
Even the sharpest minds couldn't comprehend it all, only feeling it was too unbelievable.
“What nonsense! Arrest them all and take them back to the law enforcement office for questioning.”
The captain of the guard’s expression darkened as he shouted.
“Stop!”
Before his guards could act, an angry shout suddenly rang out.
Next, a brilliant figure descended, the leader tall and imposing, exuding a terrifying aura. It was the city manager of the West City, Zu Anming. Behind him followed many guards from the West City, filled with killing intent.
“Whoosh!”
Zu Anming landed directly in front of the captain of the guard.
“It’s City Manager Zu!”
The crowd trembled in shock, retreating a little.
In the eyes of ordinary people, a city manager was akin to heaven. Unless you were from the top powers in Cang Xuan City, ordinary factions, even Gu Fang Zhai, wouldn’t dare offend them.
“I heard that Lord Zu has a close relationship with the master of Gu Fang Zhai, Feng Buqun. Is he here to seek justice for Gu Fang Zhai?”
“It’s quite possible. Gu Yao Tang is in big trouble now.”
“Sigh, Gu Yao Tang is just a small faction, why provoke Gu Fang Zhai? Now look, they killed Feng Buqun; it’s over for them.”
“Shh, lower your voice. If Lord Zu hears you, do you want to die?”
