Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Passing the Buck

"I, I am a third-generation descendant of the Li Family... actually, this is what happened..."

"I am a fourth-generation descendant of the He Family. The reason why Ning Fan annihilated our He Family was actually our own fault..."

In front of Ning Fan, the two of them, tremblingly, told all the attendees about the incidents that had occurred.

After speaking, the two looked at Lian Hongyi for help.

"Team leader Lian, you promised to keep us safe!"

"Yes, you can’t go back on your word!"

Lian Hongyi waved his hand impatiently, "I know, now get back, Ning Fan won’t bother you."

The two did not realize that Ning Fan would let them off, adjudging that they had not committed any atrociously evil deeds.

It was precisely because Lian Hongyi knew this that he chose to keep them.

After hearing the two’s recount, everyone was shocked.

They never expected that everything they had heard before was a lie!

According to the survivors from He and Li Families and the existing evidence, Ning Fan’s actions were simply in self-defense.

Of course, perhaps there were some excessive actions, but those could be understood.

Most people, if they had Ning Fan’s capabilities, would surely choose to do the same.

If you don’t remove the roots, the weeds will grow back with the spring breeze.

"Why hadn’t the seven great families said this?"

"Hmph, they cover for each other, how could they speak ill of their peers among the powerful families!"

"That’s despicable, they actually exploited our trust!"

"Shameless! Are all the people from the great families so unscrupulous?"

The crowd, who had previously condemned Ning Fan, directed their rage towards the heads of the seven great families.

All the family heads were panicked, the situation having spiraled beyond their control.

"Damn it! How did Lian Hongyi get all this evidence?"

"Go to hell, who gave him the authority to investigate us?"

"Are you still worried about that? What we need to worry about now is how to calm this situation down!"

The heads of the families didn’t really care about the public’s anger, since a few benefits were enough to placate these people easily.

But Long Yun was not so easily fooled.

Although he was passionate about martial arts, his high cultivation level made him far more rational than most people.

In front of all this evidence, if they could still fool Long Yun, it would be an underestimation of this supreme warrior of the Capital City!

"All the evidence has been presented, Master Long Yun can make his own judgement," said Sun Wan seriously, suddenly leaning forward and whispering, "Um... Master Long Yun, when this is over, could I ask for your autograph?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Lian Hongyi’s shoe was already imprinting on him.

"Get back and stand behind me, don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough?"

With a sheepish smile, Sun Wan hurriedly moved back with Lu Tong to stand behind Lian Hongyi.

"Master Long Yun, we have presented all our evidence," Lian Hongyi respectfully said, "As for what you choose to do, that is beyond our control."

Long Yun nodded expressionlessly and slowly walked down from the Nine Dragons Arena, moving towards the major families.

Even though his movements were not swift, each step seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the family heads.

The hearts of everyone present raced, feeling as if an invisible pressure was enveloping them.

"L-Long Yun, what are you trying to do?"

"Don’t be rash! Rashness is the devil!"

"Yes, please, you must remain calm! We are just ordinary people!"

As they watched Long Yun approach, everyone began to panic.

Although Long Yun had lost to Ning Fan, it didn’t change the fact that he was once considered the strongest warrior in Capital City.

If Long Yun were to get angry, aside from Ning Fan, there was nobody present who could stop him.

However, Long Yun stopped in front of them, and asked calmly, "Tell me, why did you lie to me?"

His voice was calm, yet it caused the family heads to break out in cold sweat.

They exchanged glances, trying to come up with a way to respond.

"Tell me! Why did you deceive me?"

Seeing this, Long Yun’s expression darkened, and his low roar, laden with formidable pressure, instantly reverberated.

The patrons standing at the forefront bore the brunt of this force.

They immediately spat blood and were flung back, crashing heavily to the ground.

Facing the enraged Long Yun, these martial artists were as insignificant as ants.

The Patriarch of the Bao Family was the first to break under pressure, collapsing on the ground in front of everyone, in utter panic saying, "Master Long Yun, we realize our mistake, we were jealous of the talented and plotted to incite discord between you and Ning Fan..."

Seeing someone capitulating, other family heads no longer held out, all of them quickly conceding.

"Master Long Yun, we were wrong."

"We realize our mistake..."

"We swear, we will never do this again!"

"My Ning Family is willing to donate thirty million for charity, to show our repentance!"

"Our Su Family will donate forty million..."

The family heads, in an effort to gain Long Yun’s forgiveness, declared their willingness to donate to charity, vowing never to trouble Ning Fan again.

Long Yun looked at the pitiful state of the family heads, his face showing profound frustration.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and turned to Ning Fan, "The apology you owe is not to me, but to young friend Ning!"

Ning Caiwen immediately acted, rushing in front of Ning Fan and bowing deeply at ninety degrees, "Ning Fan, on behalf of the Ning Family, I apologize to you. It was my own foolishness, and I was misled by some family heads, which led to the events that transpired today."

The remaining family heads, seeing Ning Caiwen attempting to shift the blame, instantly became anxious.

While it was a collective decision, now he was trying to make us take all the blame? This is too much!

"Mr. Ning, it was also under the misdirection of other family heads that our Su Family..."

"Ning Fan, the main instigators this time were actually the Bao Family head and the Yao Family head..."

"It was the Bao Family head; he said you were too arrogant and needed to be taught a harsh lesson..."

Soon, all six family heads bowed and admitted their wrongdoing to Ning Fan, leaving only the still dazed Patriarch of the Bao Family, sitting motionless.
