As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar!
No one expected that the Cao family's merchant ship would be robbed by the Su family. For a moment, all eyes were turned to Cao Hongkuo.
Cao Hongkuo had a serious face and looked at Su Ze, "Master Su, do you want to give Cao an explanation?"
Everyone can feel the chill in Cao Hongkuo's words.
"statement?"
Su Ze smiled faintly and said calmly: "Master Cao, please don't let anyone take advantage of you. This Liu Shize was no longer a guest of our Su family two months ago. As for what he said about plundering merchant ships, it was even more unfounded."
Cao Hongkuo's face was as cold as frost, "You said he is not a guest of your Su family, but then he is not? At this moment, the witness is in front of you, but you deny it. I think it is you who made something out of nothing, right?"
With that said, Cao Hongkuo slowly stood up.
"Whizzing!"
"Whizzing!"
Su Ze did not move, but Su Rui and other masters behind him all stood up instantly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became subtle.
Others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the people from the Cao Gang had not arrived yet and saw this extremely tense scene.
The Su family and the Cao family, one of the four major families in Jiangnan Road, actually faced off.
At this time, An Jing, wearing a navy blue cloak, walked in slowly, and then blended in with the crowd. He was relieved when he saw Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun standing in the center of the corner.
Seeing this, Fawu took a step forward and said, "Dear donors, today I am teaching about the Bon Festival. Please don't start a war rashly."
Everyone present paid no attention to the young monk.
"What you call a witness is just a guest who defected from my Su family two months ago. Does this count as a witness?"
Su Ze moved and was in front of Liu Shize in an instant, saying: "Tell me who is the person in charge behind you, or I will kill you immediately."
"Su Ze, how dare you!"
Cao Hongkuo saw this and said furiously.
"I...I..." Liu Shize's throat was pinched, and his voice trembled.
Cao Hongkuo's body flashed, his momentum was like that of a tiger descending from the mountain, and his claws reached towards Liu Shize.
Su Ze narrowed his eyes and threw Liu Shize directly over.
"boom!"
Cao Hongkuo struck out with his palm, and instantly Liu Shize's entire body turned into blood mist.
The entire hall suddenly fell silent.
"Okay, that's a good job of destroying the body and removing all traces." Cao Hongkuo was so angry that he laughed.
Behind him, everyone in the Cao family also stood up and glared at the masters from the Su family opposite.
"Master Cao, don't let anyone deceive you." Su Ze said indifferently.
"Master Su, are you talking about me when you talk about caring people?" Ming Jinghua narrowed his eyes and stood up in displeasure.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind the palace.
"Deputy Gang Leader Guo!"
"Deputy Gang Leader Guo!"
...
Seeing the person coming, Mu Jinglun, who was still sitting, stood up.
"What's going on?" Guo Yuchun first glanced at the blood stains on the floor and then asked.
Cao Hongkuo was the first to speak out: "My Cao family's merchant ship was robbed by the Su family, and just now the head of the Su family took action and killed the witness."
Su Ze said calmly: "Master Cao's words are wrong. Firstly, that person was not a witness. He was just a defected guest from my Su family who wanted to frame our Su family. Secondly, that person was not killed by me.
It was you who killed him, and so many people present could see it clearly."
"Okay, we'll talk about this later."
Guo Yuchun interrupted Cao Hongkuo who wanted to continue speaking, but faced everyone and said: "My Cao Gang summoned you not to deal with such trivial matters. Today we are discussing matters against the Demon Cult."
When Cao Hongkuo heard this, he snorted loudly and then sat down.
"Recently, a demon from the Demon Cult has been constantly provoking the majesty of our Cao Gang and killing my brothers from the Cao Gang. After many investigations, we finally found the whereabouts of the demon from the Demon Cult and then killed him. Come on, take out the body."
After Guo Yuchun finished speaking, two Cao Gang members came out carrying a corpse.
"It's really Xue Chen, the bloody sword!"
"I didn't expect Xue Chen to be that peerless swordsman."
"The Cao Gang is indeed worthy of its reputation. Even the masters of this level have been killed."
"This is a master of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult is really coming."
"The Cao Gang really has the demeanor of being the leader of gangs in the world. He even killed the masters of the Demon Cult."
........
The moment he saw the corpse, the discussion in the room sounded like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Even the masters from the four major families had expressions of horror on their faces, staring at the dead body.
The top master who split open the dungeon with one sword and made Hong Yuanwu pale in shock, the peerless swordsman who killed Tie Yunshan was actually dead.
Su Ze's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty, and he said: "Is it really the Floating Blood Sword!?"
At first, he didn't quite believe what the Cao Gang said. After all, it was very likely that the Cao Gang was spreading suspicions, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Why."
Su Rui's expression did not change, but he sighed heavily in his heart.
No matter what, this peerless swordsman killed Tie Yunshan because he was the benefactor of the Su family, but now he was killed by the Cao Gang, and he wanted to kill him, but he was powerless.
"It turns out that this peerless swordsman is actually Xue Chen." Ming Jinghua looked a little complicated.
When the peerless swordsman became famous, he also sent people to find out the swordsman's whereabouts and identity, and planned to secretly recruit him to the Ming family, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Xue Chen.
"No matter how powerful this peerless swordsman is, he can't escape the dragnet of Deputy Gang Leader Guo."
Cao Hongkuo chuckled softly.
Cao Ling'er, who was standing behind the Cao family, couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, this peerless swordsman was one of the most popular figures in Jiangnan Dao during this period, so she couldn't help but feel a little more curious.
In the far corner, Tan Yun couldn't help but sneered when he saw this, "These fools, I don't even know when Xue Chen joined our demon sect, but they know it very well."
Zhao Qingmei was secretly thinking in her heart, was this a conspiracy by the Cao Gang to spread suspicion, or had she really mistakenly believed that Xue Chen was a member of the Demon Cult?
"Father, I always feel a little strange." Mu Jie stood behind Mu Jinglun and said.
"What's weird?" Mu Jinglun asked calmly: "Is it because the swordsman is Xue Chen? Or is it because of your rebellious aunt?"
Mu Jinglun's tone was very calm, with a hint of certainty. He was certain that the corpse was that of the peerless swordsman.
Mu Jie hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.
The people present had different looks and expressions, but they were a little more afraid of Caobang in their hearts.
The peerless swordsman was able to kill Tie Yunshan, and it was rumored that he was a first-class master. However, this first-class master also died in an instant when a behemoth like the Caobang was overthrown. How can people not be surprised and afraid of this?
Fawu lowered his head slightly and clasped his hands together.
"Owl's head! Hang his head on the top of Yuzhou City and expose it to the sun for three days."
Guo Yuchun was very satisfied when he saw this scene, and then ordered.
"yes."
Bian Fang nodded, then pulled out a long knife and walked to Xue Chen's body.
Many people shook their heads and sighed when they saw this. How could such a swordsman help such a big hand?
"Xue Chen, Xue Chen, if you want to blame me, I blame you for offending my Cao Gang."
Bian Fang sneered and slashed downward with the long knife in his hand.
Tan Yun took a deep breath and prepared the order.
And at the next moment, a cold light shot from a distance and then spread to the entire hall.
