This was also the first time Qiao Feng sparred with Murong Fu, witnessing the extraordinary skill of "Shifting Stars" and his profound internal strength.

Qiao Feng had calmed down and realized that he should indeed give Quan Guanqing a chance to speak, regardless of whether he was slandering him or not.

"Alright, for Young Master Murong's sake, I'll give you a chance to speak!"

Qiao Feng also knew that he could not silence public opinion by force, especially at the Beggars' Sect assembly.

Now that Elder Bai Shijing is being punished, does that mean the gang leader will also be punished?

Khitans?

How can someone of a different race become the leader of the Beggars' Sect?

Countless doubts lingered in his mind.

Quan Guanqing also knew that Qiao Feng was rather impatient, and his high prestige in the gang was entirely due to his superior martial arts skills.

Loyalty is one aspect, but it's practically nothing when it comes to managing such a large gang.

The key is to safeguard the interests of all parties.

Of course, Quan Guanqing's methods of managing the gang were completely different from Qiao Feng's.

If Quan Guanqing takes charge of the Beggars' Sect, he will have more options to consider in the future, and the Beggars' Sect's power will truly influence the interests of all parties, rather than being a disorganized mess.

At this moment, Xu Chongxiao stepped forward, holding a letter, and showed it to everyone.

Then, Xu Chongxiao spoke to Qiao Feng in a condescending tone, "Chief Qiao, please calm down. Today is our Beggars' Clan's grand gathering. Besides Young Master Murong, many other renowned figures from the martial world have also attended. This is the Iron-Faced Judge Shan Zheng, who has traveled the martial world for decades and is known for his integrity. With him as our witness, Chief Qiao, do you have any objections?"

"The incorruptible judge Shan Zhengsheng hates evil and will help those in the martial arts world whenever there is injustice. The name of the Shan family of Mount Tai is already well-known. It is good to have the old senior Shan in charge."

"Since Chief Qiao has said so, the Tan couple from Chongxiao Cave in Taihang Mountain have also come to pay their respects to Chief Qiao."

"I am naturally aware of the great names of the Tan couple from Chongxiao Cave in the Taihang Mountains."

At this moment, Zhao Qiansun muttered to himself, but when he saw Qiao Feng, he hesitated and seemed to be afraid of something.

When Master Zhiguang saw his old friends, he was filled with emotion and stood by them, muttering to himself.

"Now that everyone has seen it, let Judge Shan witness the authenticity of this letter!" Elder Xu took out a letter addressed to Wang Jiantong, indicating that this person's identity was not simple.

"Judge Shan, you are to open this letter yourself. Please examine the handwriting to see if it is the leader's."

"It is indeed a letter written in the handwriting of the ringleader."

"Then you may read it to everyone."

"Brother Sword Beard: After several long talks, your intention to pass on your position remains unchanged. However, after careful consideration over the past few days, I still firmly believe that it is not advisable. Qiao Jun is exceptionally talented, has made great contributions, and is a man of courage and integrity. He is not only an outstanding figure in your sect, but also rarely matched among the martial arts community throughout the land. With such talent, it is only a foregone conclusion that the Beggars' Sect will become even more prestigious in the future."

"The bloody battle outside Yanmen Pass that day was so harrowing that I have thought about it every day. This child is not of our kind; his parents died at our hands. If he doesn't know his origins in the future, then so be it; otherwise, not only will the Beggars' Clan be destroyed by him, but the martial arts world of the Central Plains will also suffer a great calamity. There are very few in this world whose talent, strategy, and martial arts can match this child. The affairs of your clan are not for outsiders to interfere in. However, our friendship is extraordinary, and this matter involves too much. I urge you to think carefully."

After Shan Zheng finished reading it, it was undoubtedly a bombshell that instantly exploded on the spot.

Judging from the date of the letter, it was written 8 years ago. When Wang Jiantong handed over the Beggars' Clan to Qiao Feng, this leader wrote to advise Wang Jiantong.

In summary, the first half of the letter praises Qiao Feng for his excellent martial arts skills and character, making the revitalization of the Beggars' Sect a matter of course.

However, the second half describes the bloody battle at Yanmen Pass, where Qiao Feng's parents were killed by the leader and Wang Jiantong. Qiao Feng's worldview crumbled instantly!

While everyone was stunned and silent, Cao Cao was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected that Elder Xu's backup plan would be so formidable.

This leader must have a high status in the martial arts world. Even the leader of the Beggars' Sect had to obey him. Just by listening to Shan Zheng's letter, one can feel the intensity of the bloody battle outside Yanmen Pass at that time.

What I didn't expect was that Qiao Feng was not only a member of a foreign race, but that his parents had also died at the hands of these so-called righteous sects of the Central Plains martial arts world.

"The leader's words make a lot of sense. Qiao Feng is so strong now. Once he knows the truth, none of these survivors who participated in the Battle of Yanmen Pass will survive!"

Cao Cao was well aware of Qiao Feng's reaction after learning the truth; he would definitely want to verify it, and unexpected things would inevitably happen during the verification process.

A bloody storm is sure to rage in the Central Plains martial arts world at that time.

"Qiao Feng, you probably still don't believe me? Then take a look at this letter written by Chief Wang himself. After reading it, you'll understand why we oppose you!"

Elder Xu handed another letter to Qiao Feng this time, and Shan Zhengze inadvertently erased the signature of the letter addressed to Chief Wang.

The reason for doing this, besides not wanting to implicate the ringleader, is also because it can be expected that the ringleader's identity is definitely extraordinary.

Cao Cao saw all of this. Although he wasn't entirely sure of the leader's identity, it wasn't really his concern.

Cao Cao's cooperation in this charade was simply a matter of going with the flow and accelerating the Beggars' Sect's push to expel Qiao Feng.

And in order to avoid always being the scapegoat, Cao Cao definitely had to step in.

Otherwise, if someone dies in the martial arts world, they would blame him, which would lower his reputation as Nan Murong.

Although Cao Cao looked down on the so-called "Southern Murong" reputation in the martial arts world, he was well aware that a good reputation was better than being a rat crossing the street.

Qiao Feng took the letter, which read: "A decree to Vice Chief Ma, Elder of Skill Transmission, Elder of Law Enforcement, and all other elders of the Beggars' Sect: If Chief Qiao Feng is found to be pro-Liao or anti-Han, or to be aiding the Khitan and suppressing the Song Dynasty, the entire sect shall immediately unite to kill him without fail. Poisoning or assassination are both permissible, and those who carry out such actions will be rewarded without punishment. Written by Wang Jiantong. May 7th, the sixth year of the Yuanfeng era of the Great Song Dynasty."

"The seventh day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Yuanfeng in the Great Song Dynasty, is not the day I take over the Beggars' Sect. Could it be that..." Qiao Feng's heart was bleeding when he saw this. It turned out that all his efforts to revitalize the Beggars' Sect had been met with such suspicion!

Qiao Feng now understood why the Beggars' Sect elders looked at him with such hostility; they were looking at their enemy!

The Song and Liao dynasties were irreconcilable, both officially and among the common people, which explains the actions of Quan Guanqing and his ilk.

"Amitabha, benefactor. In the Battle of Yanmen Pass, we were misled by deluded people, which led to this tragedy. Over the years, we have seen you grow into a great hero, which has not been in vain for our careful nurturing. Now that you know your origins, you must be very confused, but you are still a Khitan..."
