Fang Yi had annihilated the Iron Fist Sect, and since that assertion came from Zhou Hai's own mouth, there was no more room for doubt. Moreover, the destruction of the Iron Fist Sect caused a massive uproar in Martial Arts, everyone already knew about it, they just didn't know who was responsible.
And now, when they learned that Fang Yi was the one behind it, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
"This man's sins are deep; he dared to annihilate the Iron Fist Sect, he must be executed!"
"Indeed, he must be executed! If this man isn't removed, he will be the greatest calamity among us in Martial Arts," Zhou Hao also started shouting, although he thought he had already lost, Zhou Hai stepped forward unexpectedly.
Putting such a huge accusation on Fang Yi's head was tantamount to hammering a nail in iron; it sealed Fang Yi's fate. Annihilating a major sect like the Iron Fist Sect was sure to provoke the hatred and collective outrage of many Martial Arts Practitioners.
