This is outright framing and scapegoating!
Han Zhengyang and Tao Tianxing exchanged a glance, communicating in a language others couldn't understand. Then, posing as if they were serious, they asked, "Fang Peng, is what you're saying true, that this gang of thieves even killed Nie Zhe?"
"Absolutely certain. The disciples from both our sects saw it with their own eyes, if you don't believe me, ask them!" Fang Peng said emphatically.
"What do you say? Is there truth to this matter?" The two of them then questioned the disciples of Flowing Cloud Sect and Boundless Sect.
A Flowing Cloud Sect disciple stepped forward and said, "Reporting... to the Sect Master, it is exactly as Brother Fang has said; we witnessed these three thieves kill Brother Nie Zhe and then throw his body off the cliff. We, along with Sister Tao and Brother Fang, pursued them to avenge Brother Nie Zhe. Who would have thought that Sister Tao would also fall victim to their cruelty!"
