Wrongfully Accused

After Nalan Yanran witnessed this, her expression turned extremely unpleasant. She had never imagined that she would encounter such an awkward situation here—her identity was actually being questioned by others. It was truly unbearable.

"Utter nonsense! He is an honored guest of our Xiao Family. He absolutely cannot be the so-called Demonic Taoist you speak of."

Xiao Xun'er rose to her feet and declared righteously, making her stance clear.

"That's right. He must be from the Misty Cloud Sect."

The young men and women of the Xiao Family also stood up. After spending the past few days together, they trusted Yun Shenwei's character.

Moreover, they had seen Elder Ge Ye, as well as the token carried by those from the Misty Cloud Sect! "Don't think I don't know that your family has long since been in cahoots with this fellow. You merely want to monopolize the business here. Stop pretending to be good people! I advise your Xiao Family to abandon darkness and turn toward the light immediately! Starting now, everyone should join me in capturing this fellow. And if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Ao Ba Pa waved his large hand, and his guards immediately began their attack.

"With your little bit of skill, you want to cause trouble for me? You're simply courting death."

Yun Shenwei had always been a rather calm person and did not like causing trouble for others.

But this fellow had truly enraged him. Just because he did not wish to bully others did not mean he was willing to be bullied. This was absolutely intolerable! "This Demonic Taoist has finally lost his composure. Everyone, do not hold back. If we let him go today, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, and there will be endless trouble in the future."

Ao Ba Pa shouted loudly once again. In an instant, the people around them seemed to react in a chain response and began attacking one after another. Some grabbed stools from the ground, while others picked up wooden clubs. None of them retained their earlier enthusiasm.

"What exactly is going on?"

Jia Lie Ao and the people he had brought were completely dumbfounded. Even he himself began to doubt whether the person before him was truly the Chief Disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. Logically speaking, the Misty Cloud Sect held an exalted position. It could not possibly casually send someone to their remote Wutan City!

"That's right. And even if they really had business here, they wouldn't send their Chief Disciple. That identity is rather awkward, isn't it? If they were sending someone, it should be Outer Sect Elders responsible for handling affairs, or elders of relatively lower rank, shouldn't it?"

Jia Lie Ao was deep in thought at this moment. He too had noticed that something seemed off about these matters.

"Could he really be a swindler? If so, this guy's act is far too convincing!"

The more Jia Lie Ao thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had actually been deceived in public. If word got out, he would be utterly humiliated. And it was not just him—everyone else had been fooled as well.

"Demonic Taoist, don't think you're impressive just because you've been stirring up trouble outside. Let me test your skills."

Ao Ba Pa's maternal uncle arrived at this moment as well.

"Hey! Do you recognize this token?"

Seeing that the newcomer wore the robes of a Misty Cloud Sect Elder, Yun Shenwei immediately took out the Misty Cloud Sect token.

"Cut the useless nonsense. I already know that you are a vile Demonic Taoist who has been stirring up trouble and committing all kinds of evil outside. Don't think that I'll fall for some tricks you casually concocted to deceive people. Let me tell you, those tricks are useless.

No matter what happens today, I will capture you and execute you on the spot. Otherwise, wouldn't that make you look down on Wutan City and the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Ao Ba Pa's maternal uncle refused to listen to any explanation. Clearly, he had already decided what the truth was. He swung his longsword in broad, sweeping arcs and launched an attack.

"Stand back. I'll deal with him! It seems a great battle is unavoidable today. If we don't deal with these fellows, I'm afraid we won't be able to clear ourselves of suspicion."

Seeing the other party attack him, Yun Shenwei could only respond in kind. At a time like this, there was no way to explain things clearly when the other side refused to listen. Since that was the case, they could only fight. He would use overwhelming force to make them understand what true justice was.

Moreover, as the people around him grew angrier, Yun Shenwei gained a large amount of Resentment Value. While gaining it, he exchanged it in the All Heavens Mall for several Dou Qi Bombs.

"Dealing with trash like you doesn't even require me to act personally. I can casually toss out a few items and blow you flat."

Yun Shenwei was genuinely furious now. What he hated most were people who went looking for trouble for no reason, then slapped false labels on others and wrongfully accused them. He had been conducting business perfectly well, but after this mess, even if he wanted to resolve matters afterward, he would probably have to waste quite a few words.

Yun Shenwei had always hated troublesome matters. What he liked most was handling things cleanly and decisively, getting them done in one go.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He directly hurled out all the Dou Qi Bombs he had exchanged, and in an instant, an earth-shaking explosion erupted here.

How had Ao Ba Pa's maternal uncle ever seen such a scene? His cultivation was only that of a Seven Star Dou Shi.

The violent shockwave sent him flying. His clothes were torn to shreds, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and many of the bones in his chest had been shattered. He no longer possessed any strength to fight.

Ao Ba Pa and several people standing nearby fared no better. They were sent flying and crashed to the ground, their condition unknown.

"I'll say it one more time. I am the Chief Disciple of the younger generation. I have no need to lie or deceive anyone. I came here because I have special matters to handle.

As for what those matters are, I have no obligation to explain them to you. I can only say that this concerns the most important matter of my life. Believe it if you wish. If not, in a few days, I will have the sect send someone here to prove my innocence."

After effortlessly dealing with the people who had come to cause trouble, Yun Shenwei dusted off his clothes and spoke casually.

Xiao Xun'er and the others stared in stunned silence. They could never have imagined that in just an instant, every one of those troublemakers had been defeated without even getting a chance to fight back. Yun Shenwei's ability was simply unimaginable.

Although Xiao Xun'er had experienced many things within her family, it was still her first time seeing such bizarre and elusive methods.

"My master is quite formidable and passed down some special tools to me. That's why I have mastered some strange arts of escapement and hidden weapon techniques that you don't know about. If you want to learn, I can teach you too."

Seeing the strange looks from the people nearby, Yun Shenwei said this with a cheerful smile. As for whether they wished to learn, that was their own business.

Even if they wanted to learn, he could not possibly tell them the truth...
