“What is this guy up to?”
At this moment, Chu Hanqing and the others were genuinely terrified. The moment he saw this person, he hurriedly sent a secret transmission, urging him to leave and not cause trouble at this critical time.
But that person acted as if he couldn’t hear Chu Hanqing’s secret message. He didn’t even glance at them, instead walking through the air, step by step, from outside the plaza to its center.
By now, Chu Hanqing’s legs were trembling.
Could it be that the Chu Heavenly Clan’s patriarch couldn’t see through this person? Even if Wuming Gangxiong couldn’t, surely Wuming Fenghuo could?
After all, he knew full well that no matter how perfect this person’s disguise was, he was still a fake.
“Who are you?” Wuming Fenghuo asked, sizing up the individual with a serious expression.
Even Chu Hanqing might not have anticipated that someone as formidable as Wuming Fenghuo couldn’t see through this imposter.
“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is… I can prove Chu Feng was framed,” the fake Chu Feng said.
“How can you prove it?” Wuming Fenghuo asked.
“Because on that day, it was I who impersonated Chu Feng and poisoned the Chu Heavenly Clan’s patriarch,” the fake Chu Feng declared.
Thud—
As soon as he finished speaking, several people collapsed to the ground.
Their faces were ashen, their bodies drenched in cold sweat. Everyone could tell they’d fainted from sheer terror.
And indeed, they had—those who passed out were the ones who’d conspired with Chu Hanqing to frame Chu Feng.
They’d thought their plan was flawless, but they never imagined this key figure—the one who’d sworn to make Chu Feng suffer—would suddenly step forward and confess everything.
Unable to bear the weight of it all, they’d been scared unconscious.
Seeing these people faint, it was obvious to everyone that they were involved in framing Chu Feng.
Aside from the Punishment Hall members quietly closing in to prevent their escape, no one else paid them any mind.
“Why did you impersonate Chu Feng and poison the Chu Heavenly Clan’s patriarch? Do you have a grudge against him?” Wuming Fenghuo asked.
“I have no grudge against the Chu Heavenly Clan’s patriarch. I was simply following orders,” the fake Chu Feng replied.
At those words, not only the minor players but even Chu Hanqing and Chu Hanyouyou felt their legs weaken, nearly collapsing where they stood.
“It was them.”
Sure enough, the fake Chu Feng pointed at Chu Hanqing, Chu Hanyouyou, and all the others who’d conspired to frame Chu Feng that day.
One by one, his finger singled out every person involved in the plot.
This!!!
At that moment, the Chu Heavenly Clan erupted into chaos.
Even Chu Hanpeng and Chu Xuanzhengfa hadn’t imagined so many people were part of this scheme against Chu Feng.
“You… you’re slandering us!” Chu Hanqing roared.
The fake Chu Feng responded with a mocking smile, then pointed at the juniors who’d visited Chu Feng’s palace that day. Turning to Wuming Fenghuo, he said, “These juniors were indeed at Chu Feng’s palace that day and can confirm he wasn’t there.”
“But they lied. Chu Hanqing forced them to lie by giving them poison and also fed them emotion-stabilizing pills so no one could detect their deception.”
“Whether what I’m saying is true, Sir, you can check for yourself and find out.”
As the fake Chu Feng spoke, all eyes turned to the juniors, filled with suspicion.
His words were so detailed and convincing that they sounded true. Besides, if he were lying, a simple examination of the juniors would expose him.
For him to say this with such confidence, there could only be one possibility: he was telling the truth.
“Sir, we were wrong! Please spare us, please spare us!”
“We were forced into this by Supreme Elders Chu Hanqing and Chu Hanyouyou!”
Unable to withstand the crowd’s suspicious gazes, the juniors finally broke. One by one, they dropped to their knees, sobbing and begging Wuming Fenghuo for mercy.
At that moment, everyone’s hearts were struck with shock.
By now, it was clear—the fake Chu Feng’s every word was true.
So many members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, including two Supreme Elders, had banded together to frame Chu Feng. To ensure his demise, they’d even poisoned the patriarch.
How ruthless was that?!
They were utter scoundrels!!
Swoosh, swoosh—
Just then, two figures leaped into the air.
It was Chu Hanqing and Chu Hanyouyou.
With their scheme exposed and no way to argue their way out, their only option was to flee.
Otherwise… it was a dead end.
But no sooner had they taken flight than they plummeted back down like kites with cut strings, crashing hard onto the ground.
Wuming Fenghuo withdrew his hand, smiling at Chu Hanqing and the others. “Looks like the truth has come to light. Though, this plot is far more thrilling than I’d imagined.”
Earlier, when Chu Hanqing and Chu Hanyouyou had suddenly fallen, it was Wuming Fenghuo’s doing.
With someone of his caliber present, there was no way Chu Hanqing and Chu Hanyouyou could escape.
