Chapter 8: Scapegoat

The Chen family had a very uneventful night. Demons attacked, many martial arts practitioners were killed, and many others were injured. Almost all of the women who were brought into the inner courtyard for 'protection' were annihilated, and many of them were drawn into the demonic mist and abducted, with their lives and deaths uncertain. The next day, the Chen Mansion was still filled with a tense atmosphere. The police officers from Lin'an County all came to the Chen Mansion. In addition, many practitioners arrived at the Chen Mansion after hearing about what happened last night. [As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝘁𝘄𝗸𝗮𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺] After Li Fan woke up and walked out of the room, he saw a crowd of people outside. There are police officers, people from the Chen family, and those who practice martial arts. Yang Kui and Ah Qi were also there, surrounded by a group of detectives for interrogation. Yang Kui seemed to be explaining something. When Li Fan opened the door, he saw many eyes looking towards him, and there seemed to be a policeman watching him outside the door. "Brother Xiaofan." Ah Qi also saw Li Fan and called out. Being surrounded by the crowd and questioning her, she seemed a little scared and kept hugging Yang Kui tightly.

"The Chen family was attacked by demons last night. We are gathering everyone to discuss matters. Please come with us." Someone from the Chen family came to Li Fan and said to him. This group of people came in a menacing manner, not like they were inviting people. "Okay." Li Fan also wanted to see what the Chen family wanted to do. With that said, he came to the side of Yang Kui and his daughter, smiled at the girl and said, "Did Ah Qi sleep well last night?" "Yeah." The girl nodded. "Brother Xiaofan, they asked us why we had nothing to do last night, but I didn't say anything." Yang Kui said to Li Fan. "Yes." Li Fan nodded. In the past, only Qi practitioners could enter the inner courtyard of the Chen Mansion, but Li Fan was 'invited' here. Many people gathered outside a hall, and all the demon-slayers from the Chen family came here. On the steps, several elders were chatting. In the middle stood a middle-aged man, wearing a luxurious purple robe with cloud patterns carved on it. His eyes were sharp and his blood was full. He was Chen Yuan, the head of the Chen family. "Chen Yuan, the head of the Chen family, is a top-grade grandmaster. He has one foot in the innate world and is one of the strongest people in Lin'an County." Yang Kui whispered beside Li Fan, with worry in his eyes. There are so many practitioners here. , he was worried that these people would be detrimental to Li Fan. In martial arts practice, the first three realms are: body refining, master, and innate. The first three realms of qi training are: qi refining, spirit refining, and leaving the body. When Li Fan arrived, several eyes fell on him. Chen Li glanced at him with sharp eyes. At this time, a path was opened outside the crowd, and several rows of figures came in a mighty manner, which did not seem to be a group of people. Chen Zongzhi, Lin'an County's head catcher, was also among them. The figure walking at the front was a middle-aged man, wearing a long gown, with a slender figure, handsome and extraordinary, and a transcendent temperament about him. "Dad." Li Hongyi shouted. "Li Daoqing." Yang Kui whispered: "The number one master in Lin'an County."

"Dad, uncle." At this time, Huang Yan also stepped forward to meet the direction where the person coming from Shangxuanzong was. Seeing the scene in front of them, the guests of the Chen Mansion were relieved. People from all major sects came to kill the demon one after another. What happened last night should not happen again. "Brother Chen, what happened last night?" Li Daoqing asked. "The Chen family was attacked by monsters last night. Many people died and many women disappeared." Chen Yuan said, "This time I came prepared and came for those girls. This time the monster chaos in Lin'an County I’m afraid that people will be ruined.” "All the major sects in Chuzhou have rushed to Lin'an County, and they should be able to resolve the Lin'an demon chaos." Someone said. "The imperial court's support force is on the way. The Demon Slayer Division will be sent from Chuzhou. According to the news I have received, they will arrive in Lin'an tonight." Head catcher Chen Zongzhi said. Demon Slayer Division, the elite of the Dali Dynasty. Those who join the Demon Slayer Division are all Qi practitioners, responsible for managing and suppressing the demons in Dali. "That puts me at ease." Chen Yuan nodded, and then said: "Those matters will be discussed elsewhere. The demon seems to know the internal situation of our Chen family. I suspect that there is a demon inside the Chen family. It is necessary to investigate carefully." "If there is such a thing, we will definitely find it out." The crowd suddenly began to whisper and glanced at other people. Is there actually a demon lurking in Chen's house? Yang Kui was a little nervous. Li Fan said yesterday that there was a mole in the Chen family, but no one believed it. But at this moment, Yang Kui had an ominous premonition. The Chen family's attitude toward him today was very unfriendly. They might even... "A Taoist priest came to the house the night before, saying that the demon-slayers who came to the Chen family would suffer bloody disasters. I'm afraid he knows the inside story." Someone said. "Not only the Taoist priest, but there is also someone who seems to know about it and has an unusual relationship with the Taoist." Someone else answered and looked at Li Fan, obviously referring to him. Chen Li also looked at Li Fan at this time and said coldly: "The monster attacked last night and many people were killed by the ghost. It is said that the ghost only avoided you?" Yang Kui's heart skipped a beat, he really doubted Li Fan. "Mr. Chen, it can't be brother Xiaofan." Yang Kui stepped forward and explained: "Miss Huang was also there when the Taoist priest and brother Xiaofan were talking. She and brother Xiaofan were together at the time." As he spoke, Yang Kui looked at Huang Yan as if asking for help. Although he knew that Li Fan was not an ordinary person, if he was slandered for colluding with demons, there were so many strong people here that Li Fan would never stand up. "I was just on the road with him, I don't know about other things." Huang Yan denied, clarifying the relationship with Li Fan. Li Fan offended Chen Li. It happened that the Chen family was attacked by demons and needed to be redressed. Naturally, someone had to bring a sacrificial knife. Li Fan could only blame him for being unlucky. It was impossible for anyone to stand up for him. Huang Yan's reply was not surprising to Li Fan. She could laugh when her senior brother was killed, let alone a stranger like him. This woman looks sweet, but is actually cold-blooded at heart. Chen Li glanced at Yang Kui coldly, then continued to look at Li Fan and said, "Yesterday, the Chen family asked the woman to move to the inner courtyard. You were the only one who didn't agree. Did you know there would be this attack?" "??" Li Fan showed a strange look. So, he didn't let Ah Qi come to the inner courtyard to avoid disaster, but instead became a collusion with the demon? The Chen Mansion couldn't protect those women, so Chen Li actually bit him back. So confusing right and wrong? Something happened to the Chen family yesterday, and it was obviously the Chen family who should bear the responsibility. Therefore, the Chen family shifted their attention and planned to find someone to take the blame.

And the person who took the blame chose him? "What the Second Young Master said is correct." At this time, a martial artist stood up and reprimanded: "Yesterday before the First Young Master and Miss Li arrived, the ghosts were killing people, but the three of them were just walking in the Chen Mansion. In the middle, the ghost attack only bypassed the two of them." "I can also testify." "We suspect that this person is colluding with demons." One after another survivors said. As Yang Kui said, many people who came to the Chen family to slay demons actually came to make a living. Now that things have become clear, the Chen family wants to use Li Fan to sacrifice the sword, so they will naturally help the Chen family. Maybe they can change future. As for whether Li Fan colluded with the demon, they didn't care at all. What did it have to do with them? But someone has to take responsibility. "Yesterday, the Chen family summoned the woman into the inner courtyard, and then something happened in the inner courtyard. Everyone in the Chen family was safe. Why don't you suspect that the Chen family is suspicious of me?" Li Fan asked curiously. "You're talking nonsense. The Chen family is holding a demon-slaying conference. How can it be possible for them to associate with demons?" those people said angrily. "I'm here to participate in the Demon Slaying Conference, how can I associate with demons?" Li Fan asked back. "You have a sharp tongue." One person pointed his finger at Li Fan and said, "Last night I saw a demonic glow on your body, and the demonic aura flowing around your body. How do you explain it?" Li Fan: "......" Was this clearly arranged for him? These warriors did not dare to question the Chen family, but they treated him mercilessly. Although they came to the Chen family for something and wanted to rely on the Chen family, but these warriors want Ronghua, so they want him to die? He looked at the people of the Chen family and saw that Chen Lizheng was looking at him with a sneer, while Chen Yuan and other big shots were watching all this quietly. "Brother Xiaofan, you know something, right?" At this time, Lin He also walked towards Li Fan. He had not slept all night and his eyes were dull. Li Fan frowned. "Brother Xiaofan, you reminded me and my daughter Lin Min yesterday not to come to the inner courtyard. You must know that, right?" Lin He looked at Li Fan as if grasping a life-saving straw. "Brother Lin, you are crazy." Yang Kui looked at Lin He and said. Li Fan looked at Lin He with indifferent eyes, and Lin He's mood was understandable. However, understanding is understanding. No wonder the senior sister reminded me before coming out that what is more terrifying than monsters is the human heart. "Let's take the interrogation first." Chen Zongzhi said next to him. Yang Kui's face turned pale. The Chen family in Lin'an County covers the sky with one hand. The head of the Chen family, Chen Yuan, is half-step innate, and Chen Luoyun is a genius qigong practitioner. Although Li Fan is powerful, he is still young after all. If the Chen family wants to take him, it will be a matter of raising his hand, and with the support of the government, Li Fan's life or death can be determined easily.
