"Who could be so ruthless to kill more than thirty people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect..."
"This person is simply a demon..."
"To kill on Serpent Island, this calamity is indeed substantial."
...
Since the organizer had not yet arrived, everyone was whispering among themselves.
Whoosh... At this mont, a figure had already appeared in the center of the Martial Arts Venue.
This person was the masked man from before.
The masked man ca to the center of the Martial Arts Venue, and without saying a word, just coldly scanned the crowd.
Although the masked man was alone, his presence was so formidable that he single-handedly subdued the atmosphere of the entire venue. Everyone dared not even breathe heavily.
So with lower cultivation were trembling all over at this mont...
"Who is the murderer? Does anyone have the courage to step forward?" the masked man coldly asked the people present.
The voice of the masked man was like a thunderclap, making everyone feel a buzzing sound next to their ears.
At the Martial Arts Venue, everyone was extrely quiet; no one dared to say a word.
After pausing for a mont, the masked man coldly continued. "If no one confesses, we don't mind wiping out everyone on the island!"
The tone of the masked man was icy and murderous.
None of the people present thought the masked man was just trying to scare them; they could genuinely feel that he was soone who could do as he said.
"Senior... The murderer has nothing to do with us; many innocent people will be implicated this way," soone courageously stood out and said.
The masked man coldly glanced at the person and then said, "Implicated innocently? If you are afraid of being implicated, then tell who the killer is... Otherwise, everyone here will leave their lives on this island."
The people looked at each other; the opponent was undoubtedly domineering.
But the opponent also had the capital to be domineering; even if you were displeased, what could you do?
"Senior, I initially didn't want to say anything, but now that it concerns everyone's life and death, I shall take the risk and speak up," soone squeezed out of the crowd at this mont.
Ding Fan stood in an inconspicuous place with four won, his lips curving slightly when he saw this person coming forward.
The person who ca out was none other than Guo Ziyu.
"You do have courage; do you know who the assassin is?" the masked man coldly asked Guo Ziyu.
Guo Ziyu, in front of the masked man, was also overwheld by the strong presence of the opponent, but thinking about impressing Qi Luoi and Qi Changran, he straightened his chest and said.
"I suppose I know."
"You suppose you know?" the masked man's tone showed displeasure. "Knowing ans knowing, not knowing ans not knowing, what do you an by suppose?! Are you trying to joke with ?"
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, a powerful inner strength burst forth from him.
The inner strength was almost tangible, causing Guo Ziyu's body to involuntarily stagger backwards several steps...
"No... no... I dare not; I just don't want others to be implicated and then share what I know," Guo Ziyu said after he managed to stabilize himself.
"Speak!" the masked man said coldly.
Guo Ziyu smoothed his breath and then said, "I believe everyone knows by now who the dead were. The murdered were the son of the master of Fenghuo Gate, Dong Fangshuo, and the sect master of Mysterious Sword Sect, Gu Mingfeng..."
Everyone stared at Guo Ziyu.
Guo Ziyu continued, "To kill so many from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect all at once... If indeed there was an intent to kill, there must have been a motive for murder; no one would kill over thirty people without reason."
Everyone nodded in agreent; grudges and revenge, if there was no motive, who would kill so many people and even risk offending the Immortal Sect!
Guo Ziyu glanced at the masked man beside him, and seeing that he was listening intently, he continued. "Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect, both sects were slaughtered; in my opinion, it was all done by the sa person, and the one who has grievances with both sects is none other than Ding Fan!"
Guo Ziyu sharply turned the point directly towards Ding Fan.
Ding Fan was now considered a star at the Martial Arts Conference, so as soon as Guo Ziyu ntioned Ding Fan's na, the people around all shifted their gazes towards where Ding Fan was.
"You better stop slandering people... Brother Fan wouldn't kill so many people!" Mu Zi quickly defended Ding Fan.
Guo Ziyu snorted coldly. "Am I slandering? Maybe so of you don't know, but on that day, Ding Fan had a conflict with Dong Fangshuo and Gu Mingfeng; one had his arms cut off by Ding Fan, while the other was left with all his bones broken..."
Guo Ziyu looked at Ding Fan, "Ding Fan, do you dare admit that you did such things?"
Guo Ziyu having stood up, Ding Fan had already been prepared for soone to target him, so facing his challenge, Ding Fan was not surprised.
Ding Fan directly nodded and said, "I indeed inflicted severe injuries on both of them."
Guo Ziyu seed to have caught Ding Fan's weak point and then loudly said, "Everyone heard that, right? Ding Fan himself admitted it."
"Are you foolish? Brother Fan rely admitted to causing serious injuries earlier, but he never confessed to killing over thirty mbers from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect."
Wu Die also stepped forward at this mont.
Wu Die could see that if Guo Ziyu really pinned this dirty water on Ding Fan's head, then Ding Fan would truly be dood here.
"Ding Fan, did you kill people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect!?" At this mont, the man in the mask stared at Ding Fan.
Since he was already targeted by everyone, he simply stepped directly into the center of the Martial Arts Venue.
Seeing Ding Fan step up, Guo Ziyu said fiercely, "Ding Fan, you are a vengeful and petty person; it doesn't matter that you kill, but killing over thirty people on Serpent Island? Aren't you completely disregarding people from Immortal Sect? ..."
While Guo Ziyu was still prattling on, a powerful surge of Inner Strength suddenly spread out.
Before Guo Ziyu could finish his words, he was imdiately thrown back by the Inner Strength...
"I'm the one asking questions, when is it your turn to interrupt!" the man in the mask coldly stated.
"I dare not, I dare not..." Seeing the masked man getting angry, Guo Ziyu hastily interjected from the side.
At this mont, the masked man once again turned towards Ding Fan. "Are the people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect killed by you?"
Ding Fan shook his head. "Naturally, I didn't kill them... However, I do know who the murderer is?"
When the people present heard Ding Fan say this, whispers and discussions soon erupted around, turning the whole situation into sothing quite elusive...
"Who is it?" the masked man asked Ding Fan.
"Qi Changran! Guo Ziyu!" Ding Fan said in an even tone.
"You... you're talking nonsense!" Guo Ziyu's face changed color on one side.
"Senior, this Ding Fan is a disgrace. Previously, he disguised himself to enter our Quanzhen Xuann and stole our Heavenly Book Fragnt. When we reprimanded him upon his arrival at the island, he now actually fras and our leader..."
Bang...
Before Guo Ziyu could finish speaking, another blast of Inner Strength directly struck.
Guo Ziyu was imdiately blown away.
Splash, Guo Ziyu heavily fell to the ground and barely managed to get up from the ground in a disheveled state.
The person who had knocked him down with Inner Strength was also the man in the mask.
"Do you people from Quanzhen Xuann have no manners at all? Did I allow you to speak?" the voice of the man in the mask was cold and domineering.
By now, Guo Ziyu truly didn't dare to say another word.
"Where is Qi Changran?" At this mont, the masked man called out Qi Changran's na.
"Here..." At this mont, under everyone's watchful eyes, Qi Changran slowly walked to the front.
"Ding Fan said you slaughtered over thirty people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect, what do you have to say?" the masked man coldly stated.
Qi Changran coldly glanced at Ding Fan beside him, then snorted lightly. "Ding Fan, you really are quite vicious. You stole our Quanzhen Xuann's Heavenly Book Fragnt, and now to eliminate future troubles, you claim it was who killed the people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect... Even if you accuse of killing people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect, I should at least have so motive..."
Ding Fan looked at Qi Changran at this mont and actually admired Qi Changran's acting skills a bit.
At this mont, Qi Changran put on an appearance of a teacher, making it seem as if he had nothing to do with this matter whatsoever.
"You want to kill people from Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect just to fra , all in order to stop from participating in the later competitions..." Ding Fan said calmly.
Although Qi Changran's expression remained unchanged, his heart tightened upon hearing Ding Fan's words.
These were the words he had spoken with Guo Ziyu at the rear mountain yesterday, how could Ding Fan know these words now?
However, Qi Changran, an old fox as he was, slightly paused before speaking. "Ding Fan, you really are good with words. Originally, it was your clever mouth that tricked my disciple into opening the gates to Quanzhen Xuann, and eventually let you steal the Heavenly Book Fragnt. Now, so quickly you have concocted such a story... Among all present, only you have grudges against both Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect, if we talk about the motive to kill, yours is the biggest..."
The masked man, seeing the plausible argunts from both sides, directly asked. "Do either of you have any direct evidence to prove the other party committed the murders?"
Qi Changran said, "This man is vengeful and treacherously cunning, as well as full of sches; stealing the Heavenly Book Fragnt from our Quanzhen Xuann is proof enough... Both the Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect have grievances against him, and so quickly thirty of their mbers were killed. On this island, besides Ding Fan, I can't think of anyone else who has such deep animosity against both Fenghuo Gate and Mysterious Sword Sect!"
After Qi Changran finished speaking, the surrounding people started whispering among themselves.
If we speak of lack of evidence, then just by impression, indeed Ding Fan seems to have the most motive to commit the murders.
"It could really be this Ding Fan..."
"How can you say possibly? I think it is definitely this Ding Fan; besides him, who else could kill thirty people in one fell swoop? Don't forget, in the first round he lifted forty-five thousand pounds; with that strength, killing thirty people is just child's play..."
"I think it's also this Ding Fan..."
The surrounding voices, for a ti, indeed all sided with Qi Changran.
"Do you have anything else to say?" The masked man looked towards Ding Fan, his tone chilling to the extre...
