Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Ruthless Fei Zhongzhi_1

"Ning Fan is not a bad person; he is my boyfriend, and he has never, nor could he ever, collude with anyone from Divine Tune Sect!" Xu Yourong declared resolutely, shielding Ning Fan with her body.

"Humph, how terrifyingly powerful the Divine Tune Sect is, even I have to be wary of them. How could Ning Fan have survived and come out of there by himself?" Fei Zhongzhi scoffed coldly.

He had heard of this Miss Xu of the Xu Family but did not fear her status.

As the leader of Jiang Province Martial Alliance, even Xu Yourong’s father, Xu Guoping, didn’t concern him!

"Miss Xu, you’d better step aside quickly, or don’t blame me for being merciless!" Fei Zhongzhi’s expression was gloomy as he continued, "Even if you try to pressure me with the Xu Family’s name, it’s useless. Whatever I, Fei Zhongzhi, want to do, your Xu Family can’t stop me!"

Seeing that Fei Zhongzhi was about to make a move, Yuan Huaiyi, despite his weakened body, stepped in front of him.

"Master Fei, Brother Ning is definitely not the kind of person you describe. He is upright and would never do what you are accusing him of," Yuan Huaiyi said in a deep voice.

Yuan Huaiyi was also a prominent figure in Jiang Province. He had thought that his interjection would make Fei Zhongzhi back down.

Unexpectedly, Fei Zhongzhi coldly retorted, "Elder Yuan, everything I do is for the good of everyone. This Ning fellow has an unclear background. Given his near-death appearance, could he really have escaped from the hands of Divine Tune Gate’s Tianying Hall? If there’s no collusion, who would believe it?"

"I think it’s best if I take this lad into custody and interrogate him thoroughly. If he’s really innocent, it won’t be too late to release him afterward!"

As he spoke, Fei Zhongzhi’s sinister gaze fell on Ning Fan, and he sneered inwardly.

Once the boy was in his hands, whether he could leave alive or not would be at his own discretion!

Yuan Huaiyi’s face stiffened slightly; he had not expected Fei Zhongzhi to disregard even his own dignity!

"If it comes to investigation, shouldn’t I be the one to handle the matter?"

Mu Wanqing stepped out from the crowd with an upright stance and a commanding presence.

"I am Mu Wanqing, the captain of the Phoenix Special Combat Team. On behalf of the combat department, I will now investigate this incident, so there’s no need for Master Fei to worry about it!"

She could see at a glance that Fei Zhongzhi was trying to use this opportunity to avenge his son.

Although Ning Fan hadn’t yet secured the top position on the Qingyun List, he was still her fiancé before their breakup. Mu Wanqing would not stand by and watch Fei Zhongzhi harm Ning Fan.

Upon hearing the name of the combat department, Fei Zhongzhi’s face darkened slightly. He might not care about anyone else, but the combat department was not to be trifled with.

When it came to sheer power, it was indeed the combat department that came out on top.

"Captain Mu, you are not stationed in Jiang Province and are unaware of our specific circumstances here. Since this lad has colluded with the Divine Tune Sect’s Tianying Hall and aims to control Jiang Province with concrete evidence, I shall enforce justice upon him today!"

Fei Zhongzhi had made up his mind to slaughter Ning Fan in order to avenge his son.

No one’s interference would be effective!

Fei Zhongzhi glared fiercely at Ning Fan, raising his right palm, ready to disregard everything else and strike Ning Fan down on the spot!

"Stop!"

Just at that moment, an aged voice came from the direction of the gate.

There, Hu Xinnian and Elder Weng, along with six other judges, walked out with the support of guards.

They were affected by the Shiang Soft Muscle Scatter poison and had yet to detoxify, barely able to stand.

Hu Xinnian, seeing that Fei Zhongzhi was about to kill Ning Fan, shouted in desperation, "I can testify! Ning Fan did not collude with anyone from the Divine Tune Sect!"

The other six judges, including Elder Weng, also spoke out in turn.

"That’s right, we can all testify!"

"Ning Fan absolutely did not collude with Divine Tune Sect!"

"He is innocent!"

All seven judges were influential figures in Jiang Province, and Fei Zhongzhi, however bold, did not dare to offend them, so he could only stop, albeit reluctantly.

Turning to look at them, he ground his teeth and said, "If you all say this lad has not colluded with Divine Tune Sect, then where is Yin Xiaoye? How could he have come to invade Jiang Province and just let it go so easily?!"

The crowd, upon hearing this, also glanced at the judges with puzzled expressions.

Hu Xinnian coughed forcefully twice, then said in a measured tone, "That villain Yin Xiaoye... has been killed by Ning Fan!"

What?! Everyone was shocked, their faces filled with astonishment.

With strength surpassing even Fei Liang and prepared with the Shiang Soft Muscle Scatter, Yin Xiaoye seemed to have all the advantages on his side!

Ning Fan, dragging a body poisoned and grievously injured, had actually managed to kill him in return?!

Mu Wanqing’s beautiful eyes instantly shone with admiration, and her estimation of Ning Fan climbed another notch.

Yuan Huaiyi stroked his chin, his mind already pondering the possibilities.

His daughter had been through life and death with Ning Fan; if he sent someone to act as a matchmaker, there might be a chance, right?

The onlookers, hearing the news, were equally stunned.

"Is it true?"

"Yin Xiaoye was actually killed by this youngster?!"

"Inconceivable... Does he really possess such strength?!"

Even though they found it hard to believe, with all seven judges solemnly attesting to it, they had no choice but to believe.

Fei Zhongzhi took a deep breath and lowered his palm, filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

Ning Fan’s killing of Yin Xiaoye amounted to saving everyone present. No matter what, he had no way to act against Ning Fan today.

"My apologies, it seems I have misunderstood!" Fei Zhongzhi dropped these harsh words and then left with dozens of Martial Alliance members.
