Back when Meng Xuanzhao beat Liu Feng in order to get the name of the Black Market Bandit, Liu Feng had been so certain that Fang Xing framed him, even after physical torture. At the time, Meng Xuanzhao dismissed the idea that it had anything to do with Fang Xing and believed it was Liu Feng who was trying to frame Fang Xing instead, and Meng Xuanzhao had decided to increase the beatings’ intensity in the hopes of getting him to reveal the truth as a result. Meng Xuanzhao hadn’t expected that Liu Feng wouldn’t last for even a couple rounds of these beatings, and—left with no other option—he had been forced to destroy the corpse and wipe out all traces of Liu Feng from the sect, to make it as though the man had never existed in the first place.
