From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 92 Sun Yuan's End

The Seven Swords Gang, Gathering Hall.

A group of high-ranking members of the Seven Swords Gang gathered for a meeting.

In the Hall of Gathering Righteousness, there is a long table for deliberation, with a row of chairs on both sides of the table.

At the head of the table, at the far end, sat a dignified middle-aged man on a grand chair covered with a white tiger skin.

His expression was calm, and without saying a word, he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

This man was none other than Gao Tianxiong, the leader of the Seven Swords Gang.

His cultivation has reached the Yin-Yang Realm. He is skilled in swordsmanship and possesses a sword-type divine weapon imbued with qi and blood.

Ordinary cultivators in the Primordial Realm are no match for him.

"Sun Yuan, why did you kill Luo Fang, the newly recruited constable of the yamen?"

Gao Tianxiong spoke coldly.

His tiger-like eyes were fixed on Sun Yuan, who was standing at the other end of the long table.

"My lord, I'm innocent! I really didn't kill Na Luofang."

Sun Yuan immediately protested his innocence.

"I have a past grudge against Narofang, but he is now working in the government, and I cannot kill him myself."

Sun Yuan defended himself.

"Someone witnessed you arguing with Luo Fang in a restaurant, and later Luo Fang was found dead at home."

"You weren't with the gang when the crime happened."

"Therefore, you are now highly suspicious. If it weren't for the gang leader's intervention, you would already be arrested and imprisoned by the authorities, and severely tortured."

Sitting next to Gao Tianxiong, a man dressed as a scholar spoke up.

This person is named Gu Zhangping, the vice leader of the Seven Swords Gang. His strength is also at the Yunzhai Realm, and he is also skilled in swordsmanship.

"Vice Chief Gu, I've been framed."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuan quickly recounted what had happened that day.

It turned out that he had received a letter that morning from Luo Fang, inviting him to dinner at Anshun Restaurant to discuss his brother's affairs.

Sun Yuan didn't think much of it and went to keep the appointment.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Luo Fang at the restaurant, Sun Yuan was mocked by him and told that he would never find the murderer who killed his brother.

After being provoked, Sun Yuan almost got into a fight with the other party at the restaurant.

In the end, it was the restaurant's guards who intervened in time to bring Sun Yuan back to his senses; otherwise, a fight might have really broken out.

Afterwards, Sun Yuan was feeling down when one of his henchmen saw him and dragged him out for drinks to cheer him up.

When he regained consciousness the next day, he heard the news of Luo Fang's death.

Then the government sent people to arrest Sun Yuan, but Gao Tianxiong blocked them and called a meeting with the other high-ranking members who were still in the gang.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhangping's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Of course it's true, I swear on my life."

Sun Yuan quickly swore an oath to the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianxiong's gaze softened slightly.

You should know that killing someone in the government office without authorization is no small matter.

If no one knows, that's fine; the dead can't prove it.

But to openly kill a formal member of the government is to slap the government in the face.

The government will not let this go easily.

The government office of Changfeng County is staffed by a martial artist at the Divine Realm.

The key point is that he can also report the matter to higher authorities, causing them to send down even more powerful martial artists.

Therefore, not to mention these gangs, even the four major powers in Changfeng County dare not easily provoke the government.

"Since Chief Sun claims he has been wronged, then send someone to invite the officials from the government over so they can give us a proper explanation."

Gao Tianxiong spoke up.

"Yes, boss."

Immediately, someone did as he instructed.

A short while later, a middle-aged man dressed as a constable walked into the Hall of Righteousness.

This person was none other than Luo Fang's superior, Liu Xun.

"Officer Liu."

The people in the Hall of Righteousness greeted each other.

Liu Xun, however, remained expressionless and unresponsive.

Seeing this, the Seven Swords Gang's leaders all looked displeased, but no one spoke.

Only Gao Tianxiong said calmly, "Officer Liu, I'm speaking on behalf of Chief Sun, saying he was wronged. Please listen to his story."

Since he needed something from him, Gao Tianxiong's tone was somewhat polite.

Liu Xun did give him face, cupping his hands in greeting to Gao Tianxiong before coldly looking at Sun Yuan and saying, "You speak, I'm listening."

""

His voice was cold and hard, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.

Having no other choice, Sun Yuan had to repeat what he had said before.

"How is it, Officer Liu?"

Gao Tianxiong looked at Liu Xun with a hint of expectation, but Liu Xun sneered: "A string of lies, utter nonsense."

Before anyone else could speak, Liu Xun continued, "First of all, you said Xiao Luo wrote you a letter. Well, where is the letter?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Sun Yuan.

At this moment, Gao Tianxiong spoke up: "Chief Sun, go and get the letter, let everyone see it."

"Zhang Ping, you come along."

"Yes, boss."

Gu Zhangping and Sun Yuan bowed in response.

Then, the two of them walked out of the Hall of Righteousness together to retrieve the letter.

Not long after, the two returned.

But neither of them looked well.

Gu Zhangping's eyes showed anger, while Sun Yuan looked fearful and suspicious.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Gao Tianxiong hurriedly asked.

"Boss, there's no such letter at all. We've searched everywhere, but we can't find it."

"As for the person Sun Yuan mentioned who delivered the letter to him, no one in the gang has been found to be such a person."

Gu Zhangping replied.

These words caused an uproar among the crowd, who then looked at Sun Yuan with varying expressions.

"Boss, there is indeed a letter from Luo Fang. It must have been stolen by the person who framed me."

17

Sun Yuan couldn't help but shout.

That's enough.

Gao Tianxiong, however, looked angry and shouted.

"Sun Yuan, are you trying to say that your brothers in the gang are trying to frame you, or that someone outside was able to break into the gang without a trace just to steal that letter?"

Gao Tianxiong stared coldly at Sun Yuan, leaving him speechless.

No matter how he answers this question, it will be wrong.

At this moment, Liu Xun delivered another blow.

"Then, as you mentioned, Xiao Luo invited you to a restaurant for dinner, but according to my investigation, you were the one who booked the location of Anshun Restaurant."

"Impossible, how could it be me?"

Sun Yuan quickly denied it.

"How is that impossible? The manager and staff of Anshun Restaurant have already given their statements, and they are all here."

As he spoke, Liu Xun took out several sheets of paper from Sun Yuan's pocket, picked out one of them, and then flicked his wrist, sending it flying toward Gao Tianxiong.

Gao Tianxiong waved his hand, and the paper landed in his hand.

After quickly glancing through it, his expression immediately turned grim.

"I wasn't lying, was I, Chief Gao?"

Liu Xun asked.

Gao Tianxiong didn't say anything, but tossed the confession back into Liu Xun's hands.

"Sun Yuan, how dare you deceive us!"

At this moment, Gao Tianxiong's gaze seemed to want to devour Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Chief, I really didn't lie to you."

"Oh, and there's also Director Zhao. He can testify for me that I was drinking with him the whole day the incident happened."

Sun Yuan seemed to have grasped at a straw and quickly brought up the matter.

Gao Tianyuan initially didn't want to pay attention, but Gu Zhangping persuaded him, "Chief, give him another chance. Invite Zhao Dafu over and see if what he said is true."

"Okay, I'll give him another chance."

Subsequently, Zhao Dafu, the head of the Zhao gang mentioned by Sun Yuan, entered the Hall of Gathering Righteousness tremblingly.

"Zhao Dafu, Sun Yuan said he and you were drinking together all night last night?"

Is this true?

Gu Zhangping asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dafu looked at Sun Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a surprised expression, and then quickly denied it: "That's not true. I was drinking with a group of brothers yesterday and I didn't see Chief Sun at all."

"Zhao Dafu, you!?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuan suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Zhao Dafu.

Zhao Dafu was startled and quickly moved away from Sun Yuan.

"Chief Gao, do you have anything else to say?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Xun looked at Gao Tianxiong.

Gao Tianxiong's expression was indifferent at this moment, but the anger in his eyes betrayed his true emotions.

"Take it away."

Finally, Gao Tianxiong said this coldly.

"No, boss, I'm truly innocent, I—"

Sun Yuan tried to struggle, but then someone shouted and struck him with a palm, knocking him unconscious.

It was Liu Xun who made the move.

As one of the head constables of the yamen, he also possessed the cultivation level of the Blood Exchange Realm.

After that, he dragged Sun Yuan away like a dead dog.

Soon, news of what happened in the Seven Swords Gang's Hall of Righteousness spread, causing the Seven Swords Gang to lose face considerably.

Other gangs were watching the spectacle with amusement, eager to spread the news to other counties.

When Chen Xun heard about this, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Indeed, he orchestrated this whole thing.

With a [Face-Changing Technique] that breaks through limits, framing someone like this isn't particularly difficult.
