Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

"Pang Hai, you're talking nonsense! Stop trying to frame me! You're the real 'Worry-Free Sect' member!"

No sooner had Chu Hong finished speaking than a loud shout came from the crowd.

On Wednesday, he stood aside, his face full of anger, and pointed at Pang Hai's nose, shouting insults.

Although he was only at the Ming Jin level, he showed no stage fright under the gaze of the crowd.

He took out two letters and introduced them one by one:

"This letter is a frame-up letter that I found when I helped wipe out the Iron Fist Gang. It was intended to get the Iron Fist Gang to target Brother Chu."

"This mark in the corner is the mark of the Worry-Free Sect."

Wednesday, Hehe, shook another letter:

"This letter was written by you, Pang Hai, to your family. Hey, I had someone compare the handwriting of the two letters, and they are exactly the same."

"Come, Magistrate and everyone, come and take a look."

"This bastard is still pretending to be righteous, but he's already betrayed us."

After saying this, he handed the two letters directly to the county magistrate and had everyone read them.

After comparing them one by one, everyone's expression changed immediately.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Pang Hai was full of suspicion.

Pang Hai, however, remained unfazed and smiled faintly:

"Handwriting and letters can be forged. If I wanted, I could have someone make ten or a hundred copies right away."

Unfortunately, a fake is still a fake.

"Come on, bring out whatever else you have. Let me see what other preparations you've made to frame me."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to waver again.

Although they were martial artists, they also knew that some great calligraphers and painters were very good at copying.

If Chu Hong really used this as a lie, wouldn't that be framing him?

For a moment, everyone looked at Chu Hong, waiting to see how he would explain himself.

Chu Hong had anticipated this; he knew that a mere letter would not be enough to convince Pang Hai to admit it.

But he had more than just one letter in his hands.

Chu Hong remained calm and unhurried, taking out a letter from his robes and handing it to the magistrate.

"Pang Hai, if I'm not mistaken, this is the letter you wrote when you first plotted against me, isn't it?"

"If I hadn't reacted quickly that time, I probably would have been dead long ago."

Pang Hai's eyes turned slightly cold; he truly hadn't expected that the letter hadn't been burned.

Fortunately, none of the letters were signed, which put his mind at ease, and his expression became calm:

"I must say, you're quite the actress."

"I'll just say one thing: if I were truly a member of the Worry-Free Sect, I would have been dead long ago when you went to Huang'an County to transport goods."

"Everyone can think about it: if I, Pang Hai, were to teach the Wuyou Sect, would I allow that batch of goods to be delivered to Huang'an County?"

"Would I allow him to come back alive?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Huang and the other forces within the inner city fell silent.

Pang Hai was right. If that were the case, with a little arrangement, Chu Hong, who was only at the Ming Jin level at the time, would have had no chance of surviving.

Immediately, everyone's suspicion of Pang Hai diminished.

Seeing that Chu Hong remained silent, Pang Hai continued:

"Why aren't you saying anything now? Are you admitting you framed me?!"

Chu Hong ignored Pang Hai and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the crowd once more:

"Senior Shi, it seems Pang Hai is determined to stick to his guns. Please come out and testify for me."

"snort!"

With a cold snort, the members of the Dawei Escort Agency pushed Shi Potian slowly forward.

He held a blood-stained letter in his hand.

Everyone was immediately startled again; how could there be a letter?

"This letter was found on the body of the steward Guo Hao during a security escort mission. It was also intended to eliminate Chu Hong and Xiao Yi."

"Magistrate Huang, please compare the handwriting on this letter with the previous one to see if it is the same."

After handing over the letter, Shi Potian turned to the crowd, his gaze icy:

"I can testify that Chu Hong is definitely not a member of the Worry-Free Sect, let alone colluding with the Worry-Free Sect to harm us."

"During that escort mission, the caravan was attacked twice by the Wuyou Sect."

"During the night raid, a cat demon at the Dark Force level tried to kill Chu Hong; during the daytime siege, two Dark Force experts even attacked and killed Chu Hong."

"My son, Shi Yi, died protecting Chu Hong."

"I ask you, if Chu Hong was a member of the Worry-Free Sect, why would they want to kill him?"

"Who would kill their own people like that?!"

"Cough cough!" Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Shi Potian even covered his mouth and coughed several times after speaking, and it took him a long time to recover.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

A clear pattern gradually emerged.

The reason for the feud between Pang Hai and Chu Hong is currently unknown, but Pang Hai contacted the Iron Fist Gang to target Chu Hong's family, though they failed.

Then they planned to strike when Chu Hong was transporting the goods, but unexpectedly Shi Yi took the fall for them.

Finally, when things went wrong, Pang Hai framed Chu Hong, intending to have the Iron Fist Gang deal with the Chu family.

As a result, the Iron Fist Gang was wiped out by the Triad Gang the very next day.

All three schemes failed.

The way everyone looked at Pang Hai couldn't help but feel more pity.

"There is one more thing," Chu Hong stepped forward, his voice calm yet booming like thunder.

"When Pang Hai first entered the martial arts school, he actually had inferior physical attributes, but through the guidance of the Wuyou Sect, he managed to seize Tang Sinian's superior physical attributes."

"This was told to me by the senior officer who accompanied me on the escort mission."

"The reason Pang Hai plotted against us was simply because he was afraid we would expose his secrets. Master, I suspect that Li Hu was killed by Pang Hai during the bandit suppression. If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gaped, speechless.

The Wuyou Sect's bone-changing technique was already well-known to everyone.

Unexpectedly, Pang Hai's physical constitution was obtained using this technique.

Zhuang Chengfeng's body trembled. He looked at Pang Hai, his expression complex, his voice bitter:

"Xiao Hai... is what Chu Hong said true?"

He could hardly believe that his carefully nurtured disciple was actually this kind of person with this kind of identity.

"Hehehe, hahahaha!"

Pang Hai remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

He no longer concealed or pretended.

"So what if it is?"

"So what if I've had my genes stolen?"

"I'm going to kill all of you who know the truth, so what can you do about it?"

"Chu Hong, you're too naive. So what if the truth is revealed? Do you think you'll leave here alive?"

The various factions fell silent immediately.

After making his arrogant statement, Pang Hai continued walking without stopping, heading straight to Lin Chenzhou's side:

"Your Excellency, was my performance to your liking?"

Lin Chenzhou gave Pang Hai an approving look and nodded, saying:

"Fantastic! Fantastic! It's been a long time since I've seen such a show. You've completely outmaneuvered the entire Yunxi. Kid, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

Having said that, he didn't delay any longer. He raised his hand and waved it, and his oppressive aura descended, enveloping the entire area.

"Now that the performance is over, let's get straight to the point."

"Those who wish to submit to the Holy Church of No Worries, stand here. From now on, you can gain merit and obtain a quota for bone transformation. Your family's descendants will all possess superior innate talent."

"Those who refuse to submit, this will be your burial ground!"

"You only have fifteen minutes to think it over carefully."

"Senior, my Zhao family is willing to submit!" As soon as Lin Chenzhou finished speaking, the Zhao family head loudly took sides.

For him, it doesn't matter which side he's with.

But right now, following the Worry-Free Sect is clearly more promising, since my son-in-law is a disciple of Venerable Haoyue.

How could the Zhao family's status be low?

Moreover, the younger generation of the family can also seize the bones of others for their own use, and glory is just around the corner.

He was very clear-headed and rational.

With him leading the way, several factions quickly took sides.

"The Wang family is willing to submit to the Worry-Free Sect and contribute to its cause."

"My Black Axe Gang is willing to submit!"

"My Songhua Martial Arts School is willing to submit!"

Words of surrender and submission echoed across the snow-covered landscape.

The faces of Magistrate Huang and his entourage grew increasingly grim.

Chu Hong slowly walked to Song Qingshan and Shi Potian and stood down beside them. He looked at Pang Hai across the distance and pondered a way to break the deadlock.

To be honest, he didn't want to use the life-saving item he had just acquired.

Zhuang Chengfeng stood there motionless for a long time.

His expression was complex and conflicted, and he was unable to make a decision for a moment.

Pang Hai looked at Zhuang Chengfeng and extended an invitation:

"Master, come here."

"Our Chengfeng Martial Arts School aims to make a name for itself in Yunxi, and also in the surrounding counties."

"It can't just disappear like this."

"Once you come here, Yunxi County will be ours."

"The bookmaker can also become a powerful family within the inner city!"
