Chapter 908 566: Underlying Currents After Duanmu Lan's Death

Of course, it doesn't mean they would die.

If they must, they would surely be interrogated by the Duanmu family about various details.

They might even use soul search!

You must know, this is Three Families City!

One of the families here is the Duanmu family!

Moreover, the Duanmu family has gradually become the most powerful family in Three Families City in recent years.

These onlookers would surely be called for questioning.

Most likely, their lives wouldn't be spared.

After all, they are merely civilians...

Even if it's just to vent their anger, they would die all the same.

Some reacted quickly, some slowly, but they all thought of this point.

Everyone looked at each other, about to discuss whether to conceal the matter.

When a member of the Duanmu family happened to pass by.

Three Families City was in chaos.

Whether it was Lan Jingtong or Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan.

Even Murong Qingyao and Murong Qingwan felt it.

"Duanmu Lan, dead?"

In the main hall of the Murong family, Murong Qingyao looked at the family head in disbelief.

"Wasn't Duanmu Lan just recently back from the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?"

"Yes."

The Murong Family Master nodded, a serious expression on his face: "According to what the Duanmu family said, last night she was invited by Shangguan Jiajia to go near the Martial Arts Hall of the Shangguan Family."

"But as she just passed by the Shangguan Family..."

The Murong Family Master spoke, pressing his temples with some headache.

"According to the passersby, she saw Shangguan Jiajia just as she passed by the Shangguan Family."

"In the span of greeting, two people beside Shangguan Jiajia suddenly attacked Duanmu Lan."

"In less than a single round, Duanmu Lan was directly killed."

"Then the three of them together entered the Shangguan Family."

The Murong family finished speaking and told them some details.

After the incident of Duanmu Lan's demise erupted yesterday evening, the Duanmu family immediately controlled all the passersby around that time and place.

Then they interrogated and used soul search on them.

Soon they pieced together the full picture of the incident.

And based on the accusations from those passersby, they confronted Shangguan Jiajia face to face.

All passersby unanimously confirmed it was Shangguan Jiajia!

Including the person who delivered the message at the Duanmu family's gate also confirmed it was Shangguan Jiajia who invited Duanmu Lan.

However, despite everyone's unanimous identification, they only saw Shangguan Jiajia without the other two.

The Duanmu family has reason to suspect whether the two were hidden by the Shangguan Family?

But the Shangguan Family completely denied this, stating that Shangguan Jiajia was at home the entire day and never went out.

She couldn't be the murderer of Duanmu Lan!

Even as an accomplice, it's entirely impossible!

Yet all the testimonies and memories from the soul search prove.

In the end, Shangguan Jiajia did enter the Shangguan Family!

This made all explanations from the Shangguan Family powerless.

After all, the entrances of all families have detectors that can sense invisibility, clones, and disguises.

This indirectly proved that Shangguan Jiajia, who orchestrated the attack on Duanmu Lan, couldn't have been anyone disguised.

But Shangguan Jiajia felt quite aggrieved, because she really didn't leave the house for the whole day.

Though only her family members can testify, in the eyes of the Duanmu family, this is the deed of the Shangguan Family!

This is something the Shangguan Family did out of fear of Duanmu Lan's growth!

To instantly kill Duanmu Lan in one round, it's evidently a master from the Shangguan Family!

After all, Duanmu Lan was of Eighth Realm, Late Stage Chunhuo strength!

Ranked over a thousand in the All Races Martial Arts Competition, even a Ninth Realm Chunwei Middle Stage individual couldn't take her down instantly.

Even if there were two of them.

So there must have been an instruction from the Shangguan Family!

The Duanmu family and Shangguan Family are at odds!

While the Murong Family is somewhat worried.

Considering the motive based on who benefits, the Murong Family is entirely capable of such actions.

Even though he's the family master, he can't completely control every movement of his clansmen.

Thus, at this moment, he gathered all the responsibility in the hall.

After saying everything, he began to question everyone.

"Who among you planned and organized this matter?"

"Tell me now, let me be mentally prepared so we can advance and retreat together."

The Murong Family Master said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

But they were mostly strong experts after the Ninth Realm.

Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, Murong Qingyao, and Murong Qingwan were completely ignored.

After all, with their level of strength, they can barely avoid being taken down by Duanmu Lan in one round.

"No."

"No."

Facing the Family Head's gaze, everyone shook their heads.

The sincerity in their eyes made the Murong Family Master a bit perplexed.

Could it really not be someone from our family?

Was it truly the Shangguan Family, driven by jealousy and acting impulsively?

Should the original offense-defense alliance still continue?

After all, they didn't consult with us about eliminating Duanmu Lan.

Moreover, how should this be explained?

Even though I understand your desire to get rid of Duanmu Lan.

But...

Killing someone in broad daylight!

Right at your own doorstep!

Is it really okay to be so blatant?

Though there is still some suspicion towards our family members.

But it's just a bit.

"If it really was one of you, just send me a message later, let me know."

"If it wasn't our family who did it, then I'll calm down and watch how things develop, and decide based on the situation."

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded, and the Murong Family Master helplessly waved his hand, indicating they could leave.

"Stop looking, let's go."

Jiang Yuan stood up, smiled slightly, placed his hand on Murong Qingyao's face, gently pushed, and as her gaze moved away from his face, he spoke up.

As soon as the Murong Family Master asked if their family was involved, Murong Qingyao looked at Jiang Yuan.

She kept feeling that this was most likely Jiang Yuan's doing!

After all, Jiang Yuan asked her about Duanmu Lan and Shangguan Jiajia yesterday.

He even asked for a photo of Shangguan Jiajia.

At that time, she even suspected if Jiang Yuan was interested in Shangguan Jiajia?

She was upset about it for a while too.

But she didn't expect it was to kill Duanmu Lan?

But why?

Besides, where did he get the ability to kill Duanmu Lan?

Murong Qingyao looked at Jiang Yuan with a puzzled gaze.

Her gaze was puzzled as she kept looking at Jiang Yuan.

Because they didn't have the ability to kill Duanmu Lan, the Murong Family Master's gaze didn't fall on them.

Otherwise, they would have been found out long ago.

But precisely because of this, Jiang Yuan didn't stop Murong Qingyao from watching him.

If it could have been exposed, Jiang Yuan would have acted long ago.

On the way back, Murong Qingyao gradually figured some things out.

Then she looked at Jiang Yuan with some gratitude.

She understood that Jiang Yuan did all this for her!

Because of Duanmu Yang!

Duanmu Yang said that after his brother returns, he would claim the first place in the Three Family Martial Arts Competition.

After claiming the first place, he would propose to her!

And Duanmu Yang's brother went to participate in the All Races Martial Arts Competition.

Jiang Yuan might have made a mistake.

He might have misheard, thinking "brother" meant "sister."

In any case, he mistook Duanmu Lan for the one who would take first place and propose!

After all, at the late stage of the Eighth Realm of Quail Fire, nearly no one among the three families could defeat him!

And maybe it is because of this that Jiang Yuan decided to eliminate her before the three families' competition!

But how did Jiang Yuan eliminate her?

Was it Mr. Lan who helped?

Once she figured out how Jiang Yuan took down Duanmu Lan, everything became clear.

After getting Mr. Lan to eliminate Duanmu Lan, Jiang Yuan would have a chance to win the championship!

After understanding this, Murong Qingyao felt a bit shy.

He must want to win the championship first to propose to me!

Thinking about this, Murong Qingyao's face slightly flushed.

It seems Jiang Yuan just isn't good at expressing himself.

But he really is quite thoughtful~

After being a little shy and excited for a while, Murong Qingyao gathered her courage and looked at Jiang Yuan: "I know you did it for me, but it's too dangerous!"

"But I will keep your secret!"

After Murong Qingyao firmly said this, she became a bit bashful and shy.

"Actually, you don't need to win the first place in the Martial Arts Competition for me to agree."

After saying this, Murong Qingyao turned and ran away, leaving Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and Murong Qingwan looking at her bewildered.

What did that mean?
