Linlong's hands weren't stained with much blood. Besides, the people he killed were people who deserved to die. Seeing the people questioning whether he and Su Ranran were the murderers, he just said most of the truth.
Since most of it was the truth, naturally, the responsibility was pushed onto Luo Xiong, Hanfang, and Yuan Ming.
As for Yuan Ming's identity, Linlong didn't say it. Since he had discussed it with Su Ranran before, Su Ranran also didn't say Yuan Ming's identity.
After hearing Linlong and Su Ranran's words, most people in the Chu West Town cast their furious gazes towards the Luo family.
The person temporarily in charge of the Luo family's affairs should be Luo Yuheng, who was present at the scene. He was Luo Xiong's cousin.
"So Luo Xiong, a grand Martial Lord, entered with the goal of killing the young men and women of our Chu West Town!"
"I never would have thought Luo Xiong would be so shameless."
"Although Luo Xiong is dead, your Luo family must give us justice."
"Give what justice? The Luo family must be chased out of the Chu West Town."
"Confiscate all of the Luo family's assets!"
Shouted the furious crowd.
Seeing that, the leader, Luo Yuheng, panicked. He looked at Linlong, and with a thought, he quickly said, "Don't be tricked by that brat Linlong. He might be the murderer who killed everyone inside. Otherwise, why can't the others come out and only the two of them? Besides, the treasures in the ruins might have been taken by him. "
"That's true. Why can only the two of them come out?"
Those words were effective. In an instant, everyone's gazes were once again focused on Linlong and Su Ranran.
"That's the truth. If you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do," said Linlong indifferently.
"Linlong, don't quibble. Tell me, how did you kill them?" Luo Yuheng pursued.
"What method did you use to kill even Uncle Luo?" Some people from the Luo family also loudly questioned Linlong.
His words immediately made everyone's ears perk up. They had indeed forgotten about this point. If what Linlong said was true, then how could they explain the latter part? What could have caused a powerhouse like Luo Xiong to fall in it?
"It's very simple. A few of them were fighting amongst themselves. In the end, I managed to take advantage of the situation," said Linlong.
"Are you saying that you killed Uncle Luo?" Some people from the Luo Family immediately stared at Lin Long.
"That's right. If I don't kill him, he'll kill me. It's only right and proper," said Linlong.
"Alright, Lin Long. Our Luo Family has formed a feud with you," Luo Yuheng said coldly as he looked at Lin Long.
"I, Lin Long, welcome all of you to seek revenge against me at any time." As he spoke, Linlong's gaze focused on Luo Yuheng. In the eyes of others, Linlong's gaze was very ordinary, but Luo Yuheng felt a formless and powerful killing intent coming towards him.
This kind of terrifying murderous aura caused his heart to pound and his whole body to be drenched in cold sweat. For a moment, he was silent on the spot.
Linlong was only an expert who had just broken through to the Martial Master realm. How could he be frightened by his gaze? Only after realizing that did Luo Yuheng return to his senses. Then, with a dark face, he said, "Very well. Just you wait."
"Luo Yuheng, the various clans have yet to settle the score with you for Luo Xiong killing the younger generation. What are you being so arrogant for?" At that moment, Lin Qingshan stood out and shouted at Luo Yuheng.
As he shouted, the aura of a Martial Lord directly attacked Luo Yuheng, causing him to uncontrollably take a few steps back.
However, he was still unwilling to show weakness. He said, "Lin Qingshan, perhaps all the people inside were killed by Linlong after taking advantage of the situation."
"Preposterous!" Lin Qingshan erupted in anger.
"Wait." At this moment, Fang Feiyang stood up and said, "Everyone has their reasons for this matter, but Linlong and Su Ranran are the only two people involved. Therefore, there's no way to argue for a reasonable explanation." Moreover, everyone should know that they had no choice but to kill each other inside. After all, the owner of the ruins set such a rule. If they didn't abide by it, how could they have come out? "
Seeing that the expressions of the surrounding people had calmed down, he continued, "Moreover, a place like the ruins is accompanied by great danger. I believe that everyone has considered the consequences of this matter. However, you just didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. Therefore, I feel that there is no need to pursue the responsibility of Linlong, Su Ranran, and Luo Xiong. "
"Elder Fang, aren't you clearly protecting Linlong?" After Fang Feiyang finished speaking, someone was unhappy.
"Of course not," Fang Feiyang said sternly. "My son, Fang Zheng, and the few youths who carried the future hope of the Fang Clan also died in the ruins. Do you think I, Fang Feiyang, am not heartbroken? However, the truth is right before our eyes. Is there a need for us to lie to ourselves? "
"Sigh, Feiyang is right. There is no need for us to lie to ourselves."
"If Linlong and Su Ranran didn't come out, there would have been two other people who came out."
"Now that things have come to this, there is no point in pursuing the matter."
A few sensible patriarchs also stood up and said.
Seeing the reputable chiefs of the town say so, those who objected could only swallow back the words they wanted to say.
Luo Yuheng's eyes flickered, but he suddenly said, "Since the clan leaders have said so, then let's forget about this matter. However, there is something that I have to say."
"What is it?" Lin Qingshan glanced at him and said coldly.
"Linlong must have obtained benefits from the ruins. These benefits were exchanged for by the children of the various large clans. Therefore, I suggest that these treasures should be divided equally among the large clans," Luo Yuheng said shamelessly.
"Luo Yuheng, aren't you being too unfair? Linlong and Su Ranran obtained the treasures through their own efforts. How can we divide them equally? It's just like the martial arts competition this time. How can the champion share his reward with the others?" Lin Qingshan said fiercely.
"Uncle Lin, you're wrong. The martial arts competition is a martial arts competition, but the children buried in the ruins are the children of the various large clans."
"That's right, Uncle Lin. Those treasures were exchanged for by our children. How can we let Linlong and Su Ranran keep it all to themselves?"
"My children were buried in the ruins. Don't we even have the chance to share the treasures?"
Although they subconsciously believed that Lin Qingshan's words were right, how could some people let go of such a chance to obtain treasures? Therefore, they immediately lied through their teeth like Luo Yuheng.
Moreover, there were more than one or two people like that. At the moment Luo Yuheng suggested it, at least half of the clans present agreed with Luo Yuheng's suggestion.
Not only did these people agree, but they also surrounded Linlong and the others tightly. They looked like they would not let them leave if they did not hand over the treasures.
As the saying goes, every man looks out for himself, and heaven and earth destroys him.
Seeing that the crowd was agitated, Fang Feiyang knew that no matter how reasonable his words were, these people would not listen to him. He could only look at Linlong helplessly and said, "Little Brother Lin, what do you think?"
