Wronged

After Nalan Yanran witnessed this scene, her expression turned extremely unpleasant. She had never imagined that she would encounter something so awkward here—her identity was actually being questioned. It was truly unbearable.

"Utter nonsense! He is an honored guest of our Xiao Family. There is no way he is the so-called Evil Taoist Priest you speak of."

Xiao Xun'er stood up, her voice righteous and stern as she made her stance clear.

"That's right, he must be from the Yun Lan 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 Ge Ye, the Steward, as well as the Yun Lan Sect's token of identification!

"Don't think I don't know that your family has long been in cahoots with this guy. You only want to seize the business here. Stop pretending to be good people. I advise the Xiao Family to abandon the darkness and turn toward the light!

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 hand, and his guards immediately launched their attack.

"With your pathetic abilities, 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. His unwillingness to bully others did not mean he was willing to be bullied. This was something he absolutely could not endure!

"This Evil Taoist Priest has finally lost his composure. Everyone, don't hold back! If we let him go today, it will be like letting a tiger return to the mountains—there will be endless trouble in the future."

Ao Ba Pa shouted again. In an instant, the people around them seemed to react in a chain, all launching attacks. Some picked up stools from the ground, while others grabbed wooden sticks. None of them retained their earlier enthusiasm.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Jia Lie'ao and the people he had brought were all dumbfounded. Even he began to wonder whether the man before them really was the Yun Lan Sect's Head Disciple.

Logically speaking, the Yun Lan Sect held an exalted position. It was impossible for them to casually send someone to their remote Wu Tan City!

"Exactly. And even if they truly had business here, they couldn't possibly send their Chief Disciple. That would be far too unusual. If they were sending someone, it should have been Outer Sect Stewards responsible for handling affairs, or lower-ranking elders, shouldn't it?"

Jia Lie'ao was deep in thought at that moment. He, too, realized that something about all this seemed wrong.

"Could he really be a fraud? If so, then 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 lose all face—and he was not the only one. Everyone else had been fooled as well.

"Evil Taoist Priest, don't think you're so impressive just because you've been stirring up trouble outside. Let me test you."

Ao Ba Pa's great-uncle arrived at that moment as well.

"Hey! Do you recognize this token?"

Seeing that the newcomer wore the robes of a Yun Lan Sect steward, Yun Shenwei immediately took out the Yun Lan Sect's token.

"Enough with those useless tricks. I already know that you're the vile Evil Taoist Priest who has been stirring up trouble and committing all manner of evil outside. Don't think I'll fall for whatever deceptive methods you've thrown together. Let me tell you, those tricks are useless.

No matter what, I will capture you today and execute you on the spot. Otherwise, wouldn't that make you look down on Wu Tan City and the Yun Lan Sect?"

Ao Ba Pa's great-uncle did not listen to any explanations. Clearly, he had already decided what the truth was. He began attacking with wide, sweeping movements, wielding a longsword in his hand.

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

Seeing the other side attack him, Yun Shenwei could only respond in kind. There was no way to explain things clearly when they refused to listen. Since that was the case, he could only fight and use overwhelming strength to make them understand what true justice was.

Furthermore, as the surrounding people's anger grew, Yun Shenwei gained a large amount of Hate Points. As he received them, he exchanged several Dou Qi Bombs from the Multiverse Shop.

"Trash like you isn't even worth me doing it myself. I'll just toss out a few items and blow you flat."

Yun Shenwei was truly furious now. What he hated most were people who went looking for trouble for no reason, then threw baseless accusations around and wronged him. His business had been going perfectly well, but after this mess, even if he wanted to resolve matters afterward, he would likely have to waste plenty of words.

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

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He directly threw out every Dou Qi Bomb he had exchanged, and in an instant, earth-shaking explosions erupted throughout the area.

How could Ao Ba Pa's great-uncle have ever seen such a scene? He was only a Seven Star Dou Shi.

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

Ao Ba Pa and several people standing nearby fared no better. They were sent flying as well, crashing onto the ground without anyone knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"Let me say this one more time. I am the Chief Disciple of the younger generation. I have no reason to lie or deceive anyone. I came here because I have a special matter to handle.

As for what exactly it is, I have no obligation to explain it to you. I can only say that it 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 easily dealing with the people who had come to make 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 such a short instant, every person who had come looking for trouble would be defeated. They had not even been given a chance to fight back. Yun Shenwei's abilities were simply unimaginable.

Although Xiao Xun'er had experienced many things within her own family, this was the first time she had seen such bizarre and unpredictable methods.

"My master is rather formidable and passed down some special tools to me. So, I have mastered certain arcane techniques and hidden weapon methods that you don't know about. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Noticing the strange looks from the people nearby, Yun Shenwei chuckled and said this. As for whether they wanted to learn, that was their own business.

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