"What does Elder Jing mean by that?"
"Idiot, can't you tell that Elder Jing is saying that Qiao Weiyuan was fighting fair and square?"
"Wait- so does this mean Qin Xiaobo was cheating? How is that possible when there are multiple sect elders, including Elder Kun here?"
The crowd was in uproar with multiple discussions about Elder Jing's remark about Qin Xiaobo.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Qin Xiaobo was calm and collected as he smiled at Elder Jing.
"Elder Jing, I was fighting fair and square without cheating." Qin Xiaobo proclaimed his innocence.
"We all know Elder Jing has a complicated relationship with an outer disciple but you can't just accuse me blatantly like this." He then added.
Qin Xiaobo's reply shocked the crowd even more for his audacity to talk like that to Elder Jing.
"Hmph, even if you are not cheating, just from that disrespectful tone alone is enough to prevent you from being promoted." Elder Kun snorted loudly as he exuded his aura.
The pressure soon landed on Qin Xiaobo and Qin Xiaobo started collapsing down as he couldn't bear to face the pressure emitting from Elder Kun.
"Cough, no evidence to prove your accusation so you decided to use violence." Qin Xiaobo snickered as he vomited a mouthful of blood when Elder Kun increased the pressure.
"Elder Kun, that is enough." Elder Jing raised her hand to stop him. "You don't need to pressure him with your aura as that can be for a later time."
Elder Kun cupped his fist as he nodded his head.
Afterward, he stopped pressuring Qin Xiaobo as he waited on the sideline with a fierce expression.
It was clear that Elder Kun was furious by Qin Xiaobo's remark and if anyone in the crowd dared to provoke him further then their fate was obvious to predict.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaobo wiped off some blood in his mouth as he stood up and stared at Elder Jing.
"Is the Feather Wind Sect going to resort to violence whenever they are trying to be biased?" Qin Xiaobo sneered.
"Biased? No- for a cheater like you, I wouldn't mind thrashing you multiple times." Elder Jing replied coldly.
Qin Xiaobo started laughing heartily as he turned around and faced the crowd. "Everyone here can see I was using my strength without any abnormal change and even Elder Kun here did not spot a single mishap on my part."
And he continued as he pointed his finger at Elder Jing, "However, only you, Elder Jing, accused me of cheating when I defeated Qiao Weiyuan fair and square."
Qin Xiaobo continued to speak more and more as he gave evidence of how he didn't use any external help to defeat his opponent.
His words became more notorious but Elder Jing kept a cold smile as she stood still to wait for him to finish.
Sometime later, Qin Xiaobo ran out of words to speak and the crowd didn't dare to support any of his claims either.
'Damn it, why isn't anyone helping me out here?' Qin Xiaobo cursed inwardly as he glanced around the crowd.
However, everyone involuntarily averted their gaze from him as none of them wished to be in this mess.
After all, until the truth comes out, speaking up at this time was no different than signing their death certificate.
When the arena became silent, Elder Jing smiled. "Have you finished your play, little clown?"
Qin Xiaobo's expression darkened as he gnashed his teeth. "Hmph, I'm innocent so I have nothing to fear."
"Oh really- then don't mind my action." Elder Jing sneered as she snapped her finger.
Instantly, a gush of pure true qi invaded Qin Xiaobo's body as he became restricted.
Afterward, Elder Jing made a slashing motion and Qin Xiaobo's clothes tore apart, revealing his bare chest.
Some of the females screamed slightly as they covered their eyes in this indecent scene.
Not all females were shameless enough to invite a man to their courtyard as some were just here to watch for the fun.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaobo started sweating profusely when he realized he couldn't move an inch nor speak aloud.
Elder Jing remained cold on the surface as she glanced at Elder Kun. "Elder Kun, in terms of alchemy, who is the best?"
"Obviously it's Elder Jing." Elder Kun replied without needing a second thought.
"All the pills that the disciples received came from Elder Jing and if anyone in the sect dared to say they are the best then I would make sure they understand their position." He added.
Elder Jing nodded her head as she turned around to glance at the crowd.
"Does anyone here dare to say I'm a fraud or terrible at alchemy?" Elder Jing asked.
The crowd all shook their heads in unison as they were clear about Elder Jing's status and her identity of being the head of Treasure Hall.
Elder Jing curled her lips upward when no one raised their hands as she returned her gaze at Qin Xiaobo.
"Since everyone knows about my alchemy skills, what makes you think- a notorious brat to be able to hide something from me?" Elder Jing scoffed as she slit some of his skin.
Blood started seeping out a little bit from Qin Xiaobo's body as everyone gasped in surprise.
The color of the blood from Qin Xiaobo's body wasn't red but some greenish color.
"Not only did you consume a pill that was purposefully created to hide the medicinal smell, but your body was also incapable of handling its effect." Elder Jing exclaimed as she pointed at the greenish blood on the stage.
"That blood alone is enough proof that you have consumed a Strength Enhancing pill to win your fight."
The crowd became dumbfounded that Qin Xiaobo had cheated his way to winning his fight.
"Oh my god, to think I wanted to invite a fraud into my courtyard." A female suddenly shouted in panic as she thanked Elder Jing for exposing the truth.
The crowd only looked at the female in disbelief as that wasn't the main point of this incident.
