The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 387: Slander (I helped a friend move today, only one chapter with words)

The sword light seemed to come from nothingness, without any earth-shattering power. It was just like an ordinary straight stab, aiming straight at Fang Xun's center.

But the pedestrians who were avoiding from a distance shuddered unconsciously. They all felt a cold chill coming over them, and their legs and feet were uncontrollable due to fear.

Although the sword was not aimed at them, the sword's intent alone made them feel as if their bodies were frozen, and they stood blankly on the official road.

Fang Xun raised his eyebrows and thought that this sword was very interesting. The person who came was much stronger than Xiongba.

"With such swordsmanship, he must not be an unknown person. I guess he must be a master on the Earth Ranking!"

The man in black had a cold expression on his face, with murderous intent in his eyes. After he drew his sword, he forgot everything else and only had the thought of killing Fang Xun.

The sword seemed slow but was actually fast, making the passers-by outside the field who were frightened by the sword's intent feel so uncomfortable that they wanted to vomit blood.

The man in black moved with his sword, and rushed from a hundred feet away to within ten feet in front of Fang Xun. It took less than a tenth of a moment, but it felt like a very long time had passed.

At this moment, Fang suddenly raised his hand and clasped his five fingers together to form a sword. The man in black suddenly felt alarmed and sensed a hint of threat.

But he had no intention of retreating, because he was a pure swordsman and a confident person.

The person on the other side is just someone of the same realm as me, but I still took the initiative to strike with the sword. If I retreat as soon as I sense a hint of danger, then what's the point of practicing sword skills?

He firmly believed that Fang Xun's sword was not pure.

Immediately, the man in black saw the other person's figure disappear in an instant, and was replaced by a gray and chaotic sword light.

The vast universe is full of chaos——

In everyone's eyes, Fang Xun's entire body was transformed into a gray and chaotic sword thread, due to his extremely fast speed.

One sword separates yin and yang, day and night!
After the two men in the field drew their swords, no earth-shattering phenomena occurred. It was all very ordinary and dull, but there was great terror in that small space!
Ding--

The crisp and pleasant collision sound is like a jade compass.

The spectators outside the venue who were forced to watch the duel between the two Yangshen Grandmasters had no time to react before Fang Xun and the man in black collided. Their figures crossed each other and stopped in an instant.

Fang Xun was unharmed, and without even a glance behind him, he started walking, as if nothing had happened, and continued walking along the official road towards the capital.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the other side, the man in black also had no visible scars and stood firmly in the middle of the official road with a sword in hand.

The passers-by who were forced to watch were stunned when they saw this scene, but they dared not make a sound and all looked at the man in black nervously.

Although in history, there have been classic duels between two Yangshen Grandmasters of similar strength, in which victory or defeat, and life or death, were decided in a flash.

But more often than not, there were scenes of the two men fighting continuously and being in a stalemate for a long time.

Seeing this strange situation, many people had guesses in their minds.

"They all used just one strike of the sword, and the result came out!"

I don't know who finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly, as if breaking some kind of balance of energy. The next moment, a bright red crack suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of the man in black.

The crack was very shallow, but it made the black-clothed man's eyes completely dull.

Everyone reacted immediately and realized that the other party's life force was fading, but before they could start to scream in shock.
boom--

It was like the explosion of a singularity at the beginning of the universe. In an instant, powerful energy flew all over the sky, and circles of smoke and dust spread out like a centripetal circle with the man in black as the center.

The aftermath of the all-out battle between the two Yangshen Grandmasters only began to arrive at this time.

"Run!"

Feeling the gust of wind sweeping in like a hurricane, the faces of the onlookers suddenly changed. The smart ones turned around and ran away without even thinking.

Although the others were a step slower, they also continued to flee.

For a while, the suburban official roads outside the city gate were in chaos.

Even when he heard the deafening noise behind him, he did not even turn around immediately, as if he had just done something insignificant.

He had no interest in who that person was, since he was dead now anyway.

In the capital, many experts also noticed the big commotion on the outskirts of the city, and many people also directly sensed that the black-clothed man's aura had completely disappeared.

Some were surprised, some were amused, and some had faces as gloomy as water.

However, Fang Xun didn't care about other people's thoughts at all and walked into the city gate on his own.

All the soldiers guarding the gate looked at their noses and their hearts, as if Fang Xun was air.

As Fang Xun passed through the city gate, he heard a burst of footsteps as dense as drumbeats.

Then they saw a general in silver armor and a group of fierce-looking soldiers rushing towards the city gate. Passersby along the way immediately made way, whispering among themselves, not daring to block the other party's way.

Shuntian City is an important place in the capital under the feet of the emperor. There are countless princes, nobles, and dignitaries in the city, and there are also many various government agencies.

Among them, the one responsible for the daily security of the capital was not the Six Gates, nor the Imperial Guard Headquarters, but an inconspicuous small organization - the Garrison.

According to the five areas of Shuntian City, east, west, south, north and center, it was divided into five divisions, each led by a captain.

Although this captain was only a sixth-rank official, he was charged with the important task of maintaining the capital's security, so at least a master of Yin Shen could be qualified for the position, and he held great power despite his low rank.

Fang Xun had just killed a swordsman in the Yang God Realm, who might even be a famous Grandmaster on the Earth List. With such a big commotion, not only other people, but even Wan Haoren who lived in the Imperial Palace could sense it, and of course the Garrison Department also noticed it.

When the silver-armored captain and his soldiers arrived at the city gate, they immediately saw Fang Xun.

But before he could open his mouth, the captain shouted coldly.

"In the important area of ​​the capital, anyone who fights without permission, regardless of official rank, will be severely punished!
Lord Lin Chuan, I respect your outstanding achievements and strength, but you should just follow me first and don't think about fighting back. It won't do you any good if you make things worse!"

Fang Xun said calmly: "Let this general know that someone wanted to kill me, but I killed him instead, and it happened in the suburbs, not in the capital!
This general is deeply trusted by His Majesty and has been entrusted with important tasks. I believe you should be able to understand the reason, right?"

Although this guy looked upright and stern, Fang Xun could clearly sense that he had hidden malice towards him.

"Haha, first a Yangshen Grandmaster attacked me in the suburbs, and then the people from the Garrison came to cause trouble. These rats hiding behind them really went to great lengths to find fault with me."

After saying this, Fang Xun no longer paid attention to the other party and walked straight towards the Prince of Yue's Palace.

The silver-armored captain's face immediately turned cold, and he led a group of armored soldiers to block Fang Xun's way.

"No matter what the reason, it is a serious crime to fight against the important place of Gyeonggi without authorization. Take this down for me."

"How dare you, a thief from the Blood Demon Sect, cry thief! I am deeply blessed by the Emperor, how can I allow a demon like you to be so arrogant in the capital!!!"

Before the silver-armored general could finish his words, Fang Xun suddenly shouted.

With a bang, the terrifying sound waves caused a raging gale, stirring up layers of air waves that swept across with him as the center.

Passersby nearby could only feel their eardrums buzzing, which was very uncomfortable. They all covered their ears, and only then did they feel better.

The soldiers of the Garrison were thrown to the ground immediately, and many of them were lifted off the ground by the air waves.

The silver-armored general was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, his vision blurred and he immediately felt someone grabbing the back of his neck and lifting him up.

The internal energy in his body surged subconsciously in resistance, but immediately a powerful force rushed into his body.

With a puff, blood flowers bloomed on the silver-armored lieutenant's body, his meridians were broken, and his dantian was completely destroyed.

Fang Xun grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and lifted him up, as if he was not holding a person, but a chick. "You, you, you."

The silver-armored captain felt the severe pain in his body like a tide, and finally realized what had happened. His eyes were full of disbelief.

Of course, he couldn't be the "blood demon villain" that Fang Xun mentioned. He just couldn't believe that Fang Xun would actually attack him!
This is not the outskirts of the city. If we take action there, it would just be a borderline case. The matter could be big or small, all depending on the mood of the captains of the garrison.

But this is in the capital city, and all his martial arts skills will be wasted!
At this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from afar, and Tie Wuxin's figure was like a breeze, floating in front of Fang Xun in an instant.

Looking at the garrison soldiers lying on the ground and the silver-armored captain in Fang Xun's hand, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Fang Xun, why did you just destroy Zhuang Cheng? You really got yourself into big trouble!"

No matter what the reason was, even if Fang Xun beat the other party and only left some flesh wounds, Tie Wuxin could help him make a big deal out of a small matter.

But now he has directly disabled the person. Now the matter has become a big deal and it may be difficult to resolve.

The silver-armored captain Zhuang Cheng also looked at him with resentment. He had become a useless man, but Fang Xun would not end up well for daring to do this!
Fang Xun turned his gaze to Tie Wuxin and said calmly, "Uncle Tie, you came at the right time. I just found out that this man is a thief from the Blood Demon Sect, so I captured him immediately and was about to go and talk to you, uncle."

"You are slandering me! How could I, a captain, be a villain from the Blood Demon Sect!" Zhuang Cheng felt it was extremely absurd and hissed.

Tie Wuxin was also confused: "Fang Xun, are you out of your mind? Can't I tell whether this guy is from the Blood Demon Sect?"

At this time, more and more figures rushed to the city gate from afar. When they saw the mess, a look of shock appeared on their faces.

In an instant, all eyes were on Fang Xun.

Fang Xun's expression was still extremely calm: "Don't worry, Uncle Tie, just listen to me first. It should no longer be a secret that I am a descendant of the Xue Linlang bloodline.

It's normal for some people to have bad feelings towards me, but you should also know that Xue Linlang also has bad intentions towards me, and he covets my body all the time.

Before, there was a Yangshen realm swordsman who tried to assassinate me, and then this devil lurking in the Garrison wanted to lure me into submission. Everything was just a trap. If I really followed him obediently, I would probably not be able to control my own life or death.

Who would have thought that even the Garrison, which was endowed with special privileges and was answerable only to His Majesty, had spies from the Blood Demon Sect infiltrated!
Capture this man first, and torture him severely. We will surely be able to uncover more Blood Demon Sect thieves lurking in the capital and even in the court!"

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, and they all looked at Fang Xun in surprise.

This kid doesn't put his heart into making up stories?
Only a fool would believe such talk!
But the next scene surprised them. After listening to Fang Xun's words, Tie Wuxin seemed to understand something.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhuang Cheng who was covered in blood, which made his heart skip a beat and he had a bad premonition.

"I see. This is understandable. You are right. Hand the man over to me. I will interrogate him immediately and find out his accomplices!"

Fang Xun nodded and threw the person away.

The silver-armored captain felt dizzy and fell into Tie Wuxin's hands again. When he realized that the other party was serious, he was immediately frightened and screamed with all his might.

"Master Tie! You know I am not... me."

But the next moment, Tie Wuxin pressed the mute point on him, and his voice stopped abruptly. Zhuang Cheng's eyes suddenly became full of despair, mixed with a hint of absurdity.

How did he become the leader of the Blood Demon Sect out of nowhere? !
Tie Wuxin ignored his feelings and nodded after taking the person.

“I don’t know whether Zhuang Cheng was forced into this or he was a hidden man carefully cultivated by the Blood Demon Sect. If he was forced into this and had not been able to help himself, he could have been treated leniently if he had given up all his accomplices in a timely manner.

If you remain stubborn, I'm afraid all nine clans will be exterminated!"

In an instant, Zhuang Cheng, who was unable to speak due to the mute point being pressed, opened his eyes wide and was extremely frightened.

It is true that he came here to find trouble with Fang Xun, but he is definitely not a member of the Blood Demon Sect!
But the conversation between Fang Xun and Tie Wuxin made his heart sink, as if the matter was already a done deal and could never be overturned!
"Okay, without further ado, I will go and interrogate him now. You should also finish your chores as soon as possible and set off."

After saying goodbye, Tie Wuxin's figure disappeared in the long street.

Fang Xun didn't want to stay in this unlucky place any longer, so he walked towards the Prince of Yue's Palace. Soon, he left the scene under the gazes of many people.

In the long street, among the crowds of onlookers, many people felt that their worldviews had been refreshed and they couldn't understand what was going on between Tie Wuxin and Fang Xun.

Then how did Zhuang Cheng become a thief of the Blood Demon Sect?
Only a few people seemed to be thinking about something, as if they understood something.

"Oh, it looks like someone is going to be in bad luck soon. I wonder whose family will be executed this time."

Ren Xuan from the Prince Chu's Mansion was also among the crowd. Looking at Fang Xun's departing back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know what happened just now?" Wan Tianya beside him immediately said anxiously, "Tell me quickly!"

"There are too many people here, let's talk on the way back."

After saying this, Ren Xuan also left straight away. Wan Tianya hurriedly followed him and continued speaking after a while.

"Although the position of the lieutenant of the capital's garrison is low, he is a powerful figure. All families have always kept their distance from him."

Wan Tianya nodded and agreed, "Yes, the Garrison Department shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the security of the capital. On weekdays, they do enforce the law impartially and impartially. When the elders of the royal family and relatives of the first-rank officials commit crimes, they rarely give them face!"

Unexpectedly, Ren Xuan shook his head and said, "You are wrong. They are not impartial. They only obey the will of one person!"

Wan Tianya was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "You mean His Majesty!"

"Yes, it is Your Majesty. However, it seems that Zhuang Cheng was bribed to frame Fang Xun this time. One can easily guess that it is the School of Scholars who secretly wants to cause trouble for Fang Xun.

Normally, His Majesty would turn a blind eye to such things if he knew about them. It was just a matter of taking advantage of others, and it was nothing as long as it did not cross the line.

But now, although His Majesty has not expressed anything, he has been intentionally or unintentionally attacking various Confucian schools and factions, especially the Confucian Schools."

Having said this, Ren Xuan suddenly stopped talking and smiled without saying anything.

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Wan Tianya suddenly understood what was going on.

The captain of the garrison was of low rank but great power, and was only responsible to Wan Haoren.

This position will inevitably be courted by many parties, but the more so, the more impartial one must be and not actively lean towards any side.

During this period, Wan Haoren had been somewhat unhappy with the Confucian school and had been criticizing it from time to time.

At this time, an official from a Confucian school bribed the captain of the garrison to plot against Fang Xun, which happened to violate Wan Haoren's taboo.

He didn't care what happened to Fang Xun, but he cared about the fact that the Garrison was bribed by the Confucian School.

Could it be that the Confucian sect wanted to interfere with even a confidential department like the Garrison, which was only responsible to him, the emperor?
After Wan Tianya figured this out, he also shook his head.

"The emperor's mind is unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will break a taboo. This time, I am afraid that not only Zhuang Cheng will be executed, but also the rest of the people involved in this matter will have to sacrifice their own lives to save their own. We need to send out a few important figures to appease your majesty's anger."

Court struggles are so cruel. Although gentlemen often use words rather than violence, the losers often have to pay a price.

And many people are unable to pay the price after failure, so they can only lose their lives.

This is the case with Zhuang Cheng. He accidentally violated Wan Haoren's taboo this time, but he has no ability to ask Wan Haoren for leniency. So he can only be killed as a thief of the Blood Demon Sect and his nine clans will be exterminated.

Fang Xun also figured this out, so he took advantage of the situation and directly said that Zhuang Cheng was a thief from the Blood Demon Sect.

After Tie Wuxin understood his hint, he immediately insisted that Zhuang Cheng was the evil leader of the Blood Demon Sect who harbored evil intentions!

The Blood Demon Sect thief is just an excuse. It doesn’t matter whether Zhuang Cheng is there or not. What matters is what Wan Haoren thinks.

Even if Fang Xun and Tie Wuxin did not take action, Zhuang Cheng would not have had a good ending afterwards.

So he took advantage of the situation and gave this excuse directly, and Wan Haoren would also admit this excuse.

It's not just Zhuang Cheng. The other 'blood demon thieves' who Tie Wuxin interrogated from the other party as 'accomplices' will probably also be punished by Wan Haoren.
