57: They all say that Gang Leader Qiao is so arrogant, what kind of mother-in-law is she now?

Chapter 57: Everyone says Chief Qiao is heroic and bold, why is he so indecisive now!

"Oh? I killed Ma Dayuan?"

Ning Yuan looked at Qiao Feng, scoffing, "I also want to know why they immediately accused me of being the murderer of Beggar Clan's Vice Chief, and then attacked my maid at the drop of a hat."

Qiao Feng replied, "Vice Chief Ma died by his own unique skill, Throat-Locking Capture Hand. In the world today, only Brother Murong's Star Shift has such power. Does Brother Murong have an explanation?"

Although Qiao Feng's personality was straightforward and incomparably fierce, he was not an unreasonable person, so he truthfully stated the reason.

The Four Great Elders behind him also said, "That's right, in this world, besides you, who else knows Star Shift? Could it be that Vice Chief Ma killed himself?"

"Maybe he really did commit suicide!"

Bao Butong came behind Ning Yuan, saying with a sneer.

"You!"

Song Qingxi immediately glared at him.

"Young Master, Fourth Brother Feng is almost gone, quickly ask them for the antidote."

At this moment, A Zhu couldn't help but shout.

Qiao Feng heard it and looked over, seeing Feng Boe lying stiff on the ground, his brow furrowed, his face darkened, and he said, "Why haven't you produced the antidote?"

"Chief, it's not that we are unwilling, it's that Elder Chen is already severely injured and unconscious, so even if we wanted to, we couldn't get it out."

Wu Changfeng shook his head, suddenly saying.

But his tone was light, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"You!"

Bao Butong was furious and anxious at the same time. Just as he was about to step forward, Ning Yuan blocked him with a raised hand, "No antidote is fine, it's just a minor poison."

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and, with a hand extended towards Feng Boe, sucked. Immediately, a powerful suction force condensed in his palm. Then, Feng Boe's poisoned arm uncontrollably lifted, and black blood gathered at the wound. With a pull from Ning Yuan, a stream of black liquid sprayed out, shooting towards the opposite side.

"Be careful!"

Qiao Feng's expression changed slightly, and he raised his hand, unleashing a palm strike. However, some poisonous blood still splattered on the Four Great Elders and Beggar Clan Disciples behind him.

Immediately, many people cried out in agony.

However, these were only residual poisonous blood. Although they caused many people to be struck and scream, they were not fatal.

"This is truly Star Shift. Beggar Clan members used poison to harm others, and now I've returned the poison to you. Isn't that fair!"

Ning Yuan said with a smile, his hands behind his back.

Qiao Feng's face was grim, but he couldn't say anything at this moment.

"Two Elder brothers, please, do not fight."

At this moment, Duan Yu finally arrived by boat. As soon as he landed, he stood between the two and shouted, "I can testify that for the past month, Brother Murong has been with me in Dali. Many people in Dali know about this. Brother Murong even fought against the Four Evils, and many Jianghu figures in Dali witnessed it personally."

"As long as you investigate a little, you will understand."

"So, Brother Murong absolutely could not have killed your Beggar Clan's Vice Chief, because he simply didn't have the time to commit the act."

Duan Yu cupped his hands in all directions, explaining the situation.

"Chief, don't believe this kid's words. Who knows if he's intentionally stalling for time? Moreover, Murong Fu has injured so many of our brothers. If we don't avenge this, they'll think our Beggar Clan is afraid of his Murong Family."

Quan Guanqing, however, said coldly.

Qiao Feng raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of displeasure.

Quan Guanqing's words put him in a difficult position. Even if he knew there must be something amiss, now... Qiao Feng looked back and saw all the Beggar Clan Disciples filled with righteous indignation.

"Chief, avenge our brothers!"

Some ordinary Disciples shouted loudly.

The Four Great Elders also shared the same animosity, "Chief, Murong Fu must not be let go. The Beggar Clan's reputation now rests on you, Chief."

"It seems Chief Qiao, you are in big trouble. The Beggar Clan Disciples may not necessarily obey you."

Ning Yuan said with a light chuckle.

Qiao Feng also knew that the current Beggar Clan seemed to be secretly manipulated by an invisible hand, with undercurrents surging and waves crashing.

If these things were to openly oppose him, he could shatter them with a single punch.

But now they were hidden among everyone, making it impossible for him to act.

"Murong Fu, stop sowing discord!"

Quan Guanqing shouted loudly, "Today, in the world, there will only be Northern Qiao Feng, and no more Southern Murong."

"His strength is lacking, but his tone is certainly grand!"

Bao Butong sneered, mocking him.

"Everyone says Chief Qiao is a peerless hero, heroic and bold, yet now he acts timidly and lacks proper demeanor."

Ning Yuan sighed, "Alright then, I won't make things difficult for Chief Qiao."

"Whether it is or not, we'll know after a fight."

Ning Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he proactively attacked, his figure instantly flickering before Qiao Feng.

Bang!

Their palms clashed, emitting a dull thud.

Qiao Feng suddenly laughed heartily, casting aside his worries, and said loudly, "That's right, no matter the truth of the matter, Young Master Murong is a rare opponent. When opponents meet their match, of course, they must fight."

Ning Yuan's figure shifted, using his Northern Darkness True Qi to wield the Xiao Wu Xiang Skill. Both of them displayed Shaolin Arhat Fist, a common boxing technique, which in their hands showed the power of a first-rate ultimate skill.

All of this was because the Internal Energy of the two of them was rarely seen in the world.

Boom!

The force of the punch was fierce, and the aftershock shook the ground. A large rock nearby, when struck, instantly shattered.

"Dragon has regrets!"

As the two fought intensely, Qiao Feng shouted, and a golden Dragon Qi, accompanied by a high-pitched Dragon roar, lunged towards Ning Yuan.

"Star Shift!"

Ning Yuan executed the Murong Family's ultimate skill. His hands moved, and with a gentle flick from Ning Yuan, the golden Dragon-shaped True Qi bounced back.

With the powerful palm strike reflected, the Beggar Clan Disciples behind Qiao Feng were instantly thrown into disarray, especially Quan Guanqing, the Four Great Elders, and others, whose faces turned pale.

They dared to provoke Qiao Feng because they knew he was an upright person who would never harm his brothers, would protect his clan members, and respect his Elders.

Therefore, they knew of Qiao Feng's formidable power, but had never directly experienced the might of his Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms.

But now,

Ning Yuan's Star Shift allowed them to personally experience Qiao Feng's terrifying power.

Everyone's hair was disheveled and flying wildly, their faces violently shaking from the storm brought by the powerful force.

Qiao Feng stood in front of everyone, not moving an inch, pushing out with both palms. Two streams of Dragon-shaped Qi shattered his own reflected palm strike.

"They have such profound Internal Energy!"

Everyone present couldn't help but change color.

Even Bao Butong looked at Ning Yuan in surprise, unable to help but say, "Young Master, your cultivation has increased so much since returning from Dali!"

The former Murong Fu, though strong, never gave off such terrifying pressure.

A Zhu and A Bi, standing nearby, both slightly raised their heads.

Their Young Master's current strength was largely due to their contributions.

"Young Master Murong's strength is truly astonishing. With such power, if he truly wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't need an ultimate skill like Star Shift at all."

After resolving the power of that palm strike, Qiao Feng lowered his hands, turned around, and said to the Beggar Clan members, "I believe there's something fishy about this matter. I've thought about it carefully, and there might be another hidden truth."

"Chief, are you deliberately trying to exonerate Murong Fu?"

Quan Guanqing said with ill intent.

He stood with his hands on his hips, scanning the surroundings, and said loudly, "It's well known that Duan Yu is your sworn brother, and this Duan Yu is also Murong Fu's sworn brother. You've said so much, but you're just unwilling to admit that Murong Fu killed Vice Chief Ma."

"Quan Guanqing, what exactly do you mean? You can speak directly; there's no need to beat around the bush in front of me."

Qiao Feng asked directly, his face grim.

"As I see it—"

Quan Guanqing turned his head and suddenly pointed at Qiao Feng, scolding, "It was you who instigated Murong Fu to kill Vice Chief Ma."

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

The surrounding Beggar Clan Disciples whispered among themselves.

Bao Butong and Feng Boe also stood together, watching the commotion.

Ning Yuan chuckled upon hearing it, but said nothing.

Qiao Feng also became interested, "I instigated Murong Fu to kill Vice Chief Ma?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Qiao Feng seemed to have heard a joke, pointing at Quan Guanqing and saying, "Alright, let's not talk about whether I can command Murong Fu. Just tell me, why would I kill Ma Dayuan?"

"Because you feared Vice Chief Ma!"

Quan Guanqing pointed at Qiao Feng, sternly scolding, "It's well known that Vice Chief Ma served as Vice Chief for many years, had the best connections within the clan, and should have inherited the Chief's position. But in the end, you seized the Chief's position. Therefore, as long as Vice Chief Ma was alive, you feared your Chief's position wouldn't be stable, so you instigated Murong Fu to kill Vice Chief Ma."

"Nonsense!"

Qiao Feng snorted coldly, "Although I didn't have a deep personal relationship with Vice Chief Ma, I would never kill him."

"Chief Qiao, you are a hero of your generation, yet now you are being slandered by a petty person. You can tolerate it, but I, Murong Fu, cannot."

At this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly spoke, his gaze falling on Quan Guanqing, "You say Qiao Feng instigated me to kill Ma Dayuan. Qiao Feng, out of consideration for you being a Beggar Clan Disciple, can tolerate you, but I, Murong Fu, cannot tolerate you spouting nonsense here, spreading rumors and slandering my reputation."

"I, Murong Fu, am not someone who can be easily commanded, nor am I anyone's subordinate."

"Since you have no evidence, then leave a pair of eyes as a warning to others!"

As soon as the words fell, Ning Yuan had already rushed towards Quan Guanqing.

Quan Guanqing's face instantly turned pale with horror, and he recoiled backward.

Murong Fu's strength was obvious to all; he was a master comparable to the Chief. How could he be an opponent?

"Brother Murong, wait!"

Qiao Feng hurriedly shouted, simultaneously striking out to block Ning Yuan.

Although he also disliked Quan Guanqing very much, if the facts weren't made clear now, then things would truly become muddled.

"Brother Qiao, you are too indecisive!"

Ning Yuan laughed loudly, "Haven't you realized yet? Right now, the entire Beggar Clan, with Quan Guanqing colluding with the Four Great Elders, wants to eliminate you. No matter what you do, it will be futile, it will be wrong."

"At least I want to know why they are doing this."

The two exchanged frequent blows, emitting dull crashing sounds.

"You want to know? I can tell you!"

Ning Yuan suddenly said, pushing Qiao Feng back with a palm strike.

"You know?"

Qiao Feng's face showed surprise.

"Let's talk about the origin of everything, Ma Dayuan."

Ning Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, "Although Throat-Locking Capture Hand is Ma Dayuan's unique skill, it doesn't mean he's the only one in the world who can use it."

"What do you mean?"

Elder Xi took a step forward.

"This is your Beggar Clan's martial art. Since you can suspect your Chief Qiao Feng of instigating me to kill someone with such an obvious martial art, why don't you suspect that it was done by someone within your Beggar Clan?"

Ning Yuan revealed a mocking smile.

Qiao Feng's expression changed slightly, but out of concern for the Beggar Clan's reputation, he immediately said, "Young Master Murong, you must not speak carelessly. Below me, all in the Beggar Clan are brothers. How can there be a reason for internal strife?"

"Murong Fu, this is clearly you trying to deflect suspicion by slandering our own Beggar Clan members."

The Four Great Elders also spoke out in rebuke, glaring angrily.
