Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 86 How to Decide?

"Enforce the law immediately!"

Xu Fang’s voice rang out loud and clear, like a giant bell tolling, echoing through the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Everyone was stunned.

They looked toward Xu Fang in shock.

The dean of the institute had decided on a death sentence for Qin Qing as soon as he appeared?

Could it be that, today, Qin Qing was really to be executed here?

"No!"

Qin Qing shook his head, his fists clenched tight, filled with indignation.

"No! On what grounds do you sentence me to death? I refuse to accept this!"

Qin Qing’s eyes began to show fierce streaks of blood.

Meanwhile, Xu Qingyuan, Bai Qiuhe, and the others were also frozen in disbelief. After a brief daze, they were filled with strong resentment and incredulity.

"Dean Xu. I don’t accept this!" Bai Qiuhe was the first to speak, "You should give my disciple a chance to explain himself!"

"Right!" Xu Qingyuan nodded emphatically, "That’s right, Qin Qing should have a chance to explain. How this matter is ultimately resolved should probably wait until he has given the full account of what has happened, from beginning to end!"

As Xu Qingyuan finished speaking, Xu Fang nodded and said, "Very well, since that’s the case, Qin Qing, now before everyone here, before all the disciples and elders of the Great Qian Martial Institute, state your case clearly!"

"Why did you kill Shangguan Xuan!"

"Why did you harm your fellow disciples!"

"Why did you defy the Law Enforcement Team’s law enforcement and attempt to kill law-enforcing disciples!"

"If you cannot explain yourself, you will be sentenced to death..."

Xu Fang looked directly at Qin Qing, speaking almost word by word.

Qin Qing looked at the dignified-looking old man before him. In his eyes, however, Qin Qing saw a glimmer of expectation and relief.

In that moment, Qin Qing understood that this old man was not really about to pronounce his death sentence; he was taking this opportunity, in front of everyone, to give Qin Qing the chance to clear his name!

Qin Qing bowed deeply to Xu Fang once again, then took a deep breath and began to speak in a gradually rising voice:

"Shangguan Xuan had colluded with my fiancée, Mu Yunlan, to harm me, to seize my Martial Soul, trying to drive me to absolute ruin. If not for an unexpected opportunity that allowed me to reawaken my Martial Soul, I would have long since perished in the wilderness outside of Tianjue City!"

"After that, due to Mu Yunlan, martial institutes from various imperial cities conducted entrance assessments in Tianjue City. I passed the assessment successfully, but Shangguan Xuan slandered me as a Demon Cultivator, even using Tianjue City Mansion Soldiers to hunt me down. I was forced to fight my way out and flee into Tianjue Forest..."

"In Tianjue Forest, Shangguan Xuan led the Mansion Soldiers to pursue me again, pushing me to the brink of despair. Cornered, I had no choice but to kill him to protect myself!"

"As for being accused of harming my fellow disciples, killing law-enforcing disciples..."

At this point, Qin Qing let out a cold laugh and continued:

"In Tianjue City, I had clearly already passed the assessment. Yet Elder Guan Yan claimed my assessment didn’t count, stating that the Tianjue City assessment had to be done all over again!"

"Moreover, after I had passed the strength and talent tests, a third trial was added—to enter the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm!"

"To kill me in the Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm, Shangguan Feixing, Guan Changtian, Guan Yun, who were not originally part of the assessment, all entered the Secret Realm with me. As expected, they chased me down the entire way in the Secret Realm."

"This matter can be attested by Gong Yanghe; Guan Changtian and Guan Yun almost succeeded in killing me several times."

"To evade their pursuit, Gong Yanghe and I entered a Sealing Cave Mansion. Shangguan Feixing then threatened me with another fellow disciple, one who had just joined, by using Ning Nianci."

"Ning Nianci and I had a prior acquaintance. Shangguan Feixing tortured her with extremely cruel methods to force Gong Yanghe and me to come out. Therefore, I had to leave that cave mansion and confront Shangguan Feixing and the others directly."

"Had it not been for my breakthrough in that cave mansion... I’d likely have died at the hands of Shangguan Feixing and Guan Changtian. In the end, I had no choice but to fight back, and that’s how I killed the Guan siblings."

"All of this was seen by the Law Enforcement Team. But they turned a blind eye, intending to punish me according to the rules of the Great Qian Martial Institute. If I didn’t resist, I would surely be killed!"

"So, I had to fight back!"

"Everything I have done, from beginning to end, has been for self-preservation! Thus, I do not believe I have done anything wrong!"

"I hope Director Xu can see clearly!"

...

Qin Qing’s voice quieted down. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

At the same time, silence fell all around.

Even the entire Great Qian Martial Institute maintained silence.

Eyes were all set upon Qin Qing.

Originally, Qin Qing’s affair had caused an uproar within the Great Qian Martial Institute, but as for the reasons behind it and what exactly had happened, not many people knew.

Now, hearing Qin Qing speak thus, everyone suddenly came to a realization.

So that was how the entire event had unfolded.

No wonder the Great Qian Martial Institute added a third trial this time when accepting new disciples, directly initiating a secret realm trial.

No wonder geniuses like Shangguan Feixing, Guan Yun, and Guan Changtian, had all appeared together at the Great Qian Martial Institute’s assessment.

No wonder Shangguan Yong had led Imperial Court troops to invade the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Now everything was out in the open.

No one doubted the truth of Qin Qing’s words, because in such a situation, the lies of the weak are easily exposed.

Instead, everyone began to sympathize with Qin Qing.

Beyond that, there was deep admiration and reverence.

Looking at Qin Qing’s slightly slender figure, many people were imagining how he had broken through the encirclement of Mansion Soldiers in Tianjue City.

How he had turned the tables on Shangguan Xuan in Tianjue Forest, how he had been pursued by the siblings Guan Yun and Guan Changtian within the secret realm, fleeing in a sorry state, only to turn and kill them again...

A young man from a small family in Tianjue City, without any backing, he couldn’t possibly have stirred up trouble on purpose.

Everything he did was out of necessity.

The people he killed were those he had no choice but to kill!

Gradually, in everyone’s eyes, Qin Qing seemed to rise in stature, as if there was a resonating fervor boiling within this young man.

"Hahaha..."

"Good!"

"Good!"

From behind, Prince of Zhennan Zhao Tianyin laughed heartily, clapping his hands.

"Qin Qing! You lad, well done. I like you very much!"

Zhao Tianyin walked over, patting Qin Qing on the shoulder, "I think, you should not stay here..."

"This place is too complicated, their minds are all terribly rotten!"

"Come with me to the Northern Pass, join the Jinyin Army! Once you’re at the Northern Pass, I’d like to see who dares to bully you!"

Facing Prince of Zhennan Zhao Tianyin, who exuded a bold aura and laughed heartily, Qin Qing respectfully clenched his fist and bowed, "Qin Qing is deeply grateful for the kind regard of the Prince of Zhennan, but I have already joined the Great Qian Martial Institute and am determined to follow my master Bai Qiuhe in cultivation. Therefore, I can only gratefully decline your generous offer!"

"Haha... You lad, well done! I like you very much!" The Prince of Zhennan looked at Qin Qing with admiration, and then turned to Xu Fang, "Director Xu, Qin Qing has explained everything that needs to be explained. Now it’s up to you to make a judgment!"

"If you still intend to sentence Qin Qing to death, then I am sorry. I will have to take him to the Northern Pass myself, as I cannot stand to see such a promising young man die here senselessly at your Great Qian Martial Institute!"

The others also turned their gazes toward Xu Fang.

What would Xu Fang decide next?
