Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

"Gentlemen, I know you are all in grief right now, but you are all smart people, and you all know in your hearts that this is someone else deliberately framing our Li family. If you were willing to become someone else's knife, I think you should have taken action as soon as you met."

"Since you haven't made a move yet, it means you're not here to kill us. Since you're not here to kill, we can sit down and talk things over calmly."

Li Yan's protector spoke with force and clarity, quickly explaining the stakes involved.

It's impossible for the Li family to suddenly go and kill so many people. Anyone with eyes can see what's going on, so they can still sit down and have a proper talk.

"A murderer would never write 'murderer' on their face. I think you're just trying to whitewash yourself," Liu Wen shouted.

"What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's cold gaze fell directly on Liu Wen.

"If you want to start a full-scale war with the Li family, then you can do it now."

Although Li Yan's protector is merely a servant-like figure, he actually wields considerable power within the Li family. If Liu Wen were to truly wage war against him now, he would be fully qualified to accept the challenge.

“Our Liu family has no such intention. Don’t twist our words.” At this moment, Liu Wen’s protector interjected.

“Since you don’t mean that, let’s talk calmly. You all should understand that this incident was a deliberate frame-up. So what is the purpose of all of you gathered here?” Li Yan’s protector said, looking at the crowd.

"We've come here to demand an explanation, of course," said the Third Elder of the Divine Martial Sect.

"Knowing that our Li family has been framed, you still come to us seeking an explanation. Isn't that contradictory?"

"The so-called 'framing someone with false accusations' is not something our Li family did, so why should we give you an explanation?"

“No matter what, all the evidence now points to you, so regardless of whether you did these things or not, you have a responsibility to investigate and find out what really happened. If you can hand over the murderer, then this matter can be settled. But if you can't hand over the murderer, shouldn't you give us an explanation?” said another elder from a top-tier power.

“We are also victims now. Aren’t you being a bit too unreasonable?” Li Yan’s protector said coldly.

“We don’t know if you are the victims, but we are the real victims now. As far as I know, your Li family has not suffered any losses this time. How do you explain this?” At this moment, a powerful member of the Zhang family asked.

"This is more in line with the scenario where we were framed."

"This is a conspiracy meticulously planned by others, designed to make my Li family the target of everyone's attacks," Li Yan's protector said incisively.

“We already discussed this when we came here. If your Li family really wants to clear your name, then you must hand over the real murderer within one day. Otherwise, we are afraid we will not let this go.” At this moment, an elder of the Wang family also stepped forward and said.

The death of the person from their Wang family was extremely gruesome; his body was split in two, leaving no trace of his remains. Even though the Wang family currently has a good relationship with the Li family, they still need to seek justice for their family after such an incident.

Regardless of whether the Li family sent someone to do this, all the evidence now points to them, which is an unavoidable fact. Given that they cannot find the murderer, they have no choice but to come to the Li family.

"one day?"

Are you kidding me?

Upon hearing the words of the Wang family elder, Li Yan's protector's expression turned ugly once again.

They have absolutely no clues now, how could they possibly catch the murderer in a single day?

In other words, if they had meticulously planned such a scheme, how could their secrets have been so easily exposed?

"Since you think this is a joke, then I don't think we need to talk anymore. Just disappear from the city!" Liu Wen jumped out again at this moment.

"That's right!"

"If you don't give us an explanation, then we'll have you pay with your lives!"

This time, before Li Yan's protectors could speak, the Divine Martial Sect immediately made their stance clear.

No matter how powerful the Li family is, they cannot wage war against all top-tier forces; the wrath of the masses is not something everyone can withstand.

The Li family certainly couldn't withstand it either.

"Gentlemen, may I have a word to say?"

Just then, Li Yan, the Li family's super genius, stepped forward.

He knew that his protector was under immense pressure at this moment. As the future head of the Li family, he had to speak up because he couldn't let others bear all the pressure.

"You all know the situation now. It's practically impossible for our Li family to find the murderer within a day. But if you trust me, I guarantee I'll give you an explanation within three days."

"What exactly do you mean?" Liu Wen immediately pressed.

"If the murderer can't be found, I'll pay for the dead with my life. Is that enough?" Li Yan coldly glanced at Liu Wen and reprimanded him.

He knew that Liu Wen's questioning was nothing more than this, and he didn't want to continue arguing with Liu Wen, so he directly granted his wish.

"Fine, a man's word is his bond. We all heard it with our own ears. If you can't hand over the murderer, then you'll pay with your lives!"

"My Divine Martial Sect can bear witness!"

“Everyone can testify to this,” the Third Elder of the Divine Martial Sect immediately echoed.

Previously, the three elders were kicked out by Li Yan, losing all face. So now, the only people here who want Li Yan dead, besides Liu Wen from the Liu family, are probably them.

"let's go."

After a brief exchange, Li Yan led his protectors back to their base.

After the two of them left, the others also dispersed one after another. After all, Li Yan had already said that he would give them an explanation within three days, so all they had to do next was wait quietly.

Of course, not everyone holds this view. For example, Liu Wen has already developed a new idea.

Li Yan will definitely spend the next three days searching for the murderer with all his might, and if he wants Li Yan to keep his promise of paying with his life, then he will naturally create some new trouble for Li Yan.

So after returning to the Liu family's base, he immediately said to his protectors, "This is a perfect opportunity to kill Li Yan without incurring any serious consequences. So we need to prepare a surprise for them. Do you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Both of them were people who had lived for hundreds of years. Liu Wen's protector was a wise old man, and he certainly knew what Liu Wen meant.

Isn't the Li family about to investigate the murderer?

So they'll create more confusion for the Li family now, making them waste more time in their pursuit of the murderer.

……

Li family residence.

"Brother Li, you were too impulsive. Don't you know that what you just said played right into the hands of some people?" Qin Fei couldn't help but say, looking at Li Yan.

“If I can’t get these people to back down today, they will definitely try every means to take a piece of our flesh. They’ve made such a big show of force to force us to leave. Do you think they will leave easily?” Li Yan shook his head and said.

"These bastards! We are clearly victims too, but they are putting pressure on us. They are forcing us!" Li Yan's protector said indignantly.

“If we can’t find the specific killer, it’s definitely the best option for them to come to us. If I had to choose, I would also come to us.”

"Then what do we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's protector sighed and asked.

"Check it."

"Then I will give the order immediately."

Three days may sound like a long time, but for cultivators like them, three days pass in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Li Yan and his team really have no spare time right now and must get moving.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Fei asked at this moment.

“Brother Qin, I have a feeling that the people hiding here are very likely trying to kill you, so you should stay here and not go anywhere.” Li Yan then expressed his inner speculation: “No one would frame our Li family for no reason. I have a life-saving treasure and someone protecting me, so the people outside are unlikely to do anything to me.”

“But they are still plotting against our Li family, so I suspect their biggest purpose in doing this is for you.”

"They most likely want to drain the core strength of our Li family in order to kill you."

“Young Master, after listening to your analysis, I think this is very likely what others really want to achieve!” At this moment, Li Yan’s protector also expressed his opinion: “People will only do things that are beneficial to themselves.”

“We haven’t offended anyone since we arrived here. Even the Liu family and the Divine Martial Sect probably wouldn’t dare to really start a war with us. But if it’s young friend Qin, then it’s hard to say.”

"They really do pick on the weakest ones."

Qin Fei wasn't stupid. At first, he didn't think anything of it, but after listening to Li Yan and the other man's analysis, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The purpose of killing all the people from the top-tier forces was to force them to put pressure on the Li family, thereby draining the core strength of the Li family. Once he was no longer surrounded by powerful people, wouldn't it be easy for them to kill him?

How could Qin Fei not break out in a cold sweat when his own life was at stake?

"I just don't know who's behind this." Thinking about this incident, Li Yan's expression turned extremely cold.

Those who framed the Li family deserve to be punished!
